~ COMMISSIONER MORAN'S place
in the work of relief has been
fixed. He will be associated with
Thomas Magee. member of the
executive committee of the relief cor

and building department. Mr.. Moran's
duty will be to push along the work of
providing shelter for the homeless.
/ know of nothing more important" ;"
said Mr.. Moran yesterday, than to pro-
vide shelter for these people"
Arrangements have been made by
which Alexander Mackie will have gem
eral management of the building op-
erstions.
Mr.. Moran has already entered upon
his new duties. His first work will be
the building of an annex to the Aims
house capable of housing about 1000
persons. This Will be used to shelter
tho aged INDECENT. The building will
begin Immediately. There will be no
delay in securing the land, for that is
already available.
Yesterday afternoon Moran met with
a number of architects TO discuss the
building of cottages. Nothing definite
was decided upon, but an arrangement
was made for the architects to meet
with Mr.. Moran, Mayor Schmitz and
members of the executive committee
Tuesday noon next. At that time
plans for the annex to the Almshouse
viii be discussed, together with such
other building matters as may come up
DR.. Devine gives it as his opinion
that now is the golden opportunity for
San Francisco to provide substantial
and healthfuI homes for her people
The homes must be built, and the city
car say how they shall be built. He
said;
"As much money as possible should
be put into buildings that shall be
substantial and attractive after four
or five years of use. There might be
$150,000 put into temporary buildings,
but only to meet emergency cases. But
a large sum. say $4,000. 600, may well be
put into permanent houses for the peo-
pie to rent
BY no means would I encourage the
building of tenemenrs Detached or
semi-detached houses-that is. double
houses with a substantial dividing
partition-would prove the most sat
isfactory
But IT rests with the Supervisors
and the Legislature to say what kind
OF houses shall be built. Now is the
golden time to set a high standard.
Privacy and comfort should be insisted
upon and overcrowding avoided. Then.
too. the houses should be built to meet
the ideas of those who are to occupy
them"
DR.. Devine stated that he had had no
experience with portable houses and
was not prepared to pass judgment
upon them, but to meet temporary
needs he was Of the opinion that they
might prove satisfactory.
II IS known that several organiza-
tons are interesting themselves in the
work of healthfully housing the people
Of this city. Among these are several
women's clubs and the organized ply
sicians of the city It is understood,
too, that the Commonwealth Club is
planning a meeting at which the matter
will be taken UP and discussed.

PLANS To INCREASE
C|TY'S REVENUE.
City Attorney Urges
Rental Be Charged
for Sidewalk Cellars
MEANS A MILLION

"San Francisco Is losing revenue of
SIOOO,OOO year. Follow the example
of Chicago and tax merchants and
others, who are taxed for the use of
underground space extending beyond
the property line. 1 am considering
submit one to the Board OF Supervisors
for consfderatiOn."-Sta by City
and County Attorney Burke.
fhat there is a legitimate oppor-
tunity for the taxation of merchants
who have easements that extend under
the sidewalks in the business section
OF the city is the opinion of County At
torney Burke, and that such a tax or
license should be imposed is his ex-
pressed belief. He has made a careful
study of an ordinance that was pro-
posed and adopted by the city of Chi
cago in February of the present year
and sees no reason why the same
course cannot be followed in San Fran
cisco.
Chicago is a gamer to the extent of
millions of dollars by the new ordi-
nance. San Frapcisco, it is estimated,
would profit to the extent of at least
$1,000,000.
1t is not taxation on the property
owners. 1t is matter of rental for
ground that belongs to the city and
county of San Francisco.
For years the owners of valuable
realty throughout the business section
have utilized the space under the side
walks. Not only have such Easements
been used for storage purposes, but as
cafes and In other lines where the re-
turn has been large. They have had
this city property rent free. 1t is
ground that does not belong to them
and Mr.. Burke says that such tax is
legal and reasonable one.
In a few days, as soon as an ordi-
nance can be complied" said the City
and County Attorney, Il will submit
ii to the Supervisors. Chicago has
such an ordinance. 1t is perfectly
proper and there are no legal objec-
tions."
AS is at present the case in this city,
the Chicago ordinance requires a per-
init to be secured from the Board of
Public Works, but 1t is further pro-
vided as follows:
extend more than fifteen feet below the
surface Of the street. alley way or
groGnd over the same, the person US
ing space underneath the surface of
any street or public way shall render
to the city as the annual eompensa-
ton for the use of the same a sum
equal to per cent of the amount de-
termined by multiplying the number of
square feet of surface over the space
SO used by sum equal to tenth of
the land value of the average square
foot In the lot abutting upon such
space as fixed by the last assessment
thereof for general taxation by the
State or county authorities Provided,
however, that in every case the annual
compensation shall be at least $40"

SNAGs IN THE SACRAMENTO
STOP STEAMBOAT TRAFFIC.
Vessels, Though Water Is High, VIII
Not Go Past Tehama or
Mo1F0%y1IIe.

RED BLUFF, July 2S.-Notwith-
standing that the Sacramento River is
still full OF water and higher than 1t
has been at this season OF the year
for years the river transportation to
this place has ceased for the summer
and to-day's trip Is the last that the
boats will make until after the rains
in the fall. Hereafter the boats will
stop at either Tehama or Monroeyille
and from there transfer their freight
by rail Snags in the stream are the
cause Of the Cessation of operation.
The Government annually spends thou
sands Of dollars to have these re-
moved. The loss of river transporta-
tion to Red Bluff for the balance of the
summer falls heavily on the business
interests Of this section. which have en-
joyed immunity from high local freight
rates through the river competition.
