Dealing in Meal
Tickets Soon to
Be Ended.

LIEUTENANT SCOTT has con
firmed The Call's exposure of the
fact that the contractors who
have been running the Desmond
soup kitchens have been bartering in
meal tickets, and check upon the sys-
tenn has been ordered placed in imme-
diate execution.
For the protection of the unfor-
tunates in the various camps a check
should Immediately be placed upon the
contractors" said Lieutenant Scott.
Refugees often exchange their meal
tickets for small quantities Of raw
foods or loaf of bread 1t is the suf-
ferers that are thus deprived of the
full value Of the relief given them"
The determination to keep a check
upon the kitchens followed the decision
of the committee to close a majority
Of the same now conducted outside of
the permanent camps. To this end a
resolution was passed notifying the
contractors that after Tuesday, July
81, no more meal tickets will be issued
for the kitchens located at Eighth and
,Brannan streets. Mariposa and Caro-
lima, Nineteenth and Dolores, Garfield
Square Bernal Heights, San Jose and
Brazil
streets.
Action toward the closing of the
kitchens at Washington Square. Lafay-
cite Square, Nineteenth street and Po-
trero avenue and Twenty-firs and Ken
lucky streets was deferred until such
time as Major CASTOR can determine
whether or not they can be done away
with at this time without working
hardship upon the refugees
rhe resolution adopted by the com
mittee further provides that in the dis
tricts heretofore covered by the
kitchens closed on the 31st inst. thirty
days rations shall be issued to each
person who may require the same. 1t
is the opinion Of the committee that
after that time a majority of the now
dependent people will be able to care
for themselves. If at the end of that
period, however, there are any who
cannot care for themselves they will
be moved to one of the permanent
camps or other means taken to see that
they do not suffer.
Before I agree that these kitchens
be closed" said Colonel rlppy, II must
receive assurance that other means will
be taken to see that no person goes
hungry"
DR.. Devine said this would be looked
after and then the decision to close
the kitchens was voiced. Colonel Pippy
said later, however, that If the sub
stitute relief should fail in it's purpose
quick action to remedy the evil would
be taken, and no one need fear lack of
necessary relief Those who have no
stoves at this time will be supplied
with the same and given full months S
start toward rehabilitation.
1t was then that the question of

Says Franchise Gives the
UnitedRa RailroadsRight
to Put in Switches

James Devote, attorney for the Board
of Public Works, yesterday filed with
that body an opinion to the effect that
the United Railroads under its fran
chises has the right to construct. lay
down, maintain and operate turn-outs
where its lines itersect without any
further legislative action on the part
Of the city"
Under the opinion the United Rail-
roads is acting legally in now connect
ing the tracks of all of its lines.
Devote also rendered an opinion that
the board has the power to compel the
removal Of unsafe walls under the pro-
visions of the building ordinance
The board condemned as unsafe that
portion of the City Hall occupied as
a police station, and the Police Com
mission will be requested to remove
the station force therefrom-
The City Street Improvement Com
pany was awarded the contract for
building a sewer in Valencia street,
from Eighteenth to Nineteenth, and
williams & Belser will build the sewer
at the crossing OF Van Ness avenue and
Vallejo street.
The sum of $4,000 was ordered ex-
pended for repairing asphalt and BIZ
luminous pavements.
The board ordered notices sent to
the railroad companies to remove
emergency tracks from Davis street
and other streets within five days un-
der penalty of having the rails con-
fiscated.
The Board of Education was re-
quested to remove the debris from the
Lincoln School lot and other school
sites.
Attorney Devote will look into the
width of the right of way claimed by
the United Railroads on Market street.
between Second and East streets. The
railroad claims that 1t has forty-five
feet. though only thirty-nine feet has
been used heretofore
The board expressed it's intention to
clear all debris from public buildings
and to reconstruct the sewers in Ninth
and Tenth streets.
Specifications were ordered prepared

Lieutenant Scott Recommends
Check System.

OF $4,000 year now enjoyed by DR..
Devine, Colonel George H. Pippy and
Edward H. Moran are TO meet with
slaughter at the hands Of the incor-
porated executive committee of the re-
lief and Red Cross funds. The cry
that too much money is being expend-
ed in salaries and too little in the pur-
chase OF comforts for the unfortunates
Of the city is having its effect, and re-
trenchment is favored
The fact also now exists that the re-
habilitation committee and the incor-
porated executive committee have TAX
en- most Of the work of the hands OF
the relief commission, which, like the
Associated Charities, has become more
of a committee of inspection than one
vested with executive prerogatiVes
The report that the salaries of the
members OF the relief commission and
probably many Of their subordinates
were to be cut got ahoat when it be-
came known that the incorporated ex-
ecutive committee had planned to hold
a quiet consultation with the relief
commissioners. 1t was the intention to
discuss at this meeting the conditions
that prevail and get the views of all
concerned. as to the policy OF retrench-
ment, so far as salaries are concerned.
that is now deemed imperative.
But anxiety to hold the meeting was
not so keen after it became known that
knowledge that the meeting was to
be held had become general But ex-
Mayor Phelan appeared at the meeting
place. only go away again after being
informed that his associates had not
appeared.
The excuse that the noise Of build
ing operations in the St Francis Tech
nical School. where the committee
rooms are located, would interfere with
the deliberations was given in explana
ton of the failure of the committees
TO como together. It is possible. how
ever, that they may meet today.

Relief Commissioner Pippy Asks That
They BE Provided.


Relief Commissioner George H Pippy
inaugurated a movement at yesterdays
meeting OF the board to provide the
children Of the city's refugees with free
schoolbooks. In thousands of in
stances parents were stripped of their
belongings by the fire and are not yet
in a condition 10 supply their little
ones with the needed books. That they
will be given the same is now a GER
tainty.
Colonel Pippy asked that the COM
mittee adopt a resolution requesting
the finance committee TO make arrange
ments for supplying children of the
poor with books. Commissioner Moran
taken the Board of Education should
be consulted as TO the condition Of the
finances under It's control, and request
ed 10 give its opinion as to the neces-
sity Of the action proposed by Colonel
Pippy.
This Will only mean more delay"
answered Pippy, but If you deem such
action necessary I viii consent"
I viii personally interview the presi-
dent of the Board of Education this
afternoon" responded Moran, and Sc
cure the needed information in good
time"
This plan was agreed to and today
the answer viii be filed. 1t is-not be-
heved that the Board of Education is
in a position 10 supply the need, so the
finance committee will be called upon
TO make an appropriation for the pur-
pose.

~ joyment of the monopoly of
~ supplying milk to the re
fugees" occupying S75 homes
a check is to be placed on the
dealings Of the Standard Milk Company
with the Relief Commission. At yester-
days meeting Of the commission Lieu
tenant Scott pointed out that the guam
tity Of milk supplied by the company
was never known until it presented
it's bill, and up to the present time no
one has knowledge of the financial
condition of the people who are ac-
cepting this milk, which is delivered
at their door steps every day. Regard
ing this most unbusin nesslike condition
of affairs Lieutenant Scott has this to
say:
All reuuisitions for milk should first
come into the executive office. This is
done in several sections, but in others
the milk is supplied by the Standard
MIX COMPANY making tbeir Indlvl6oai 6n oe- e.
tent address, this address being sup
piled to the dairy by the section chair
man at the beginning of the month.
This, doubtless. makes the delivery
more satisfactory to the families, but
takes away the control from day to day
Of the amount distributed, the execu
tive office not knowing what the daily
amount actually has been until the bill
of the dairy company reaches the CEN
trail Office through the section chairman.
this bill being rendered about every
two weeks. Again, the individual de-
livery system by the milk company
does not afford the opportunity for the
scrutiny of applicants, and the gradual
cutting down of the supply that is de-
sired. The case is well illustrated by
section Z. The milk bill I'm this sec
ton for fifteen days ending July Il.
shows an average of $50 gallons per
day The list shows that the individual
quantity varies from one pint to two
Quarts, the number Of addresses on the
list being about SIS. while one orphan
age at 4025 Twenty-fifth street re-
ceiyed sixteen quarts daily and the
Penfef Mission. Dolores Park, received
four quarts daily.
With reference to this milk delivery
in section T. it is noted that practically
all the deliveries are made to residence
addresses, which shows conclusively
that these people are not all refugees"
in the true sense. The milk requisi-
tions have been strictly controlled by
the executive Office, excepting within
the past few weeks, when section 2,
section and section Z have had milk
delivery in the way indicated above.
The suggestion that requisitions for
milk come through the executive office
will be followed.

PROTESTS AGAINST REMOVAL.
BOxtOn Objects TO Crowding Refugees
in Duboce Park

in DubOce Park.
Supervisor Boxton renewed his pro-
test at yesterdays meeting of the
Board Of Supervisors against the re-
moval Of the refugees from the Mission
Park to Duboce Park. which was ac-
complished by the Health Board early
Tuesday morning. Boxton said the re-
moval was 'rammed" through despite
the fact that the health committee had
been directed by the board to oppose
the removal.
There were 400 people at Duboce
Park already" said Boxton, "and now
the Health Board has crowded several
hundred more there, to the menace of
the health of the school children and
people in the vicinity. 1t is impossible
TO make the park sanitary under the
present conditions"
The board directed the health COM
mittee to renew its investigation in the
matter with view TO ascertaining if
the additional refugees would cause
unsanitary conditions at Duboce Park.
