THE Hoos1ER SCHOOL BOY.
By Edward Egg letson.

by EDWARD EgSletSOn.
This edition of Mr. Egg leston's
popular story has been arrang-
ed toy the author especially for
the use as d reader in schools.
1t has definitions, aud occasion
al notes and questions 1t will
require no coaxlng to induce
the average fourth reader pupil
to read it once he has d chance
and do more to make readers OF
the children THAI several ordin-
airy fourth readers. Tie moral
tone of the book is good. 1t
marks the difference between
the cowardly bully aud true
courage. 1t describes the old
school house, the d c X e S
benches, where our grandpar-
ents studied the old blue back
ed spelling books. 1t tells OF
the old fashioned school mas.
tiers ana We don't believe but
what ever child after reading
the story will be thankful for
the difference today, when the
teacher doesn't think that ecu
cation has to be pounded in with
a club, and that corporal pun
ishment is every thing.

Two new buildings, the construction
of which will begin at once, will aid
materially in the rehabilitation of the
wholesale district. The buildings will

sion. 1t will be a three-story brick
affair, with a basement and electric
elevator. It's cost will be $40, ,000.
George T. Neal has secured a ten
years lease on the entire building.
The other building will be built on
the east side of Front street, between
Pine and California. 1t will also be

BRICK WALLS MUST
BE TORN DOWN.
Board of Public Works
Will Not Allow Them
to Menace Citizens

Brick walls standing on the line of
any street car line in the burned dis
trict must be torn down If there is the
slightest danger of their falling. There
are a number of such walls in the city,
and as the property owners have shown
no inclination to remove them the
Board of Works is ready to act.
Commissioner Aigeltinger is in charge
of this particular line OF woRk and says
he means business. He has already
notified William Sproule that if the
walls of his building on Sutter street
are not removed within forty-eight
hours the Board of Works will under
take the task and assess the costs to
the property. This particular wall was
called to the attention of the board by
Manager Chapman of the United Rail
roads. who said 1t made it dangerous
to operate the Sutter-street cars.
Mrs. Byron Jackson has a building
at Second and Natoma streets that must
be pulled down, and there is another
bad wall at Geary and Kearny streets.
Where the travelling public is in any
danger from such walls, wherever they
may stand the Board of Works will
order them demolished.
Commissioner Aigeltinger made a
survey of Montgomery street yesterday
afternoon and stated the clearing of
this street will be completed tonight,
giving a thoroughfare for teaming from
Market to Washington. streets. The
cost Will be about $500.
The work of removing the debris on
Mission street from Fourth street to
the ferries will be started Monday
morning.

CHIMNEY BUREAU
EXPENSES CUT.
Maestretti Lops OffNine
Sub Stations Leaving
Only Six in Operation

President Frank Maestretti OF the
Board of Public Works is bent on cut
ting down the expenses of the bureau
of chimney inspection. From an orig
inal force of $50 men seventy-five heads
have been Topped. Instead OF fifteen
sub-stations operated as receiving
points there are now six. saving of
considerable money in the way of cler-
icaI force.
f. H. Porter, chief OF the chimney in
spection bureau. says that when the
new ordinance is passed requiring the
immediate inspection of all chmineys
the force must be increased. Com
missioner Maestretti thinks this can
be avoided.
At present the six chimney inspec-
tion stations are located as follows:
Fillmore and Union streets, Ellis and
Webster streets, Suffer and Devisadero
streets, Haight street and Masonic ave-
nue., Eighteenth and Castro streets.
Twenty-second and Mission streets.
The following are the stations that
were discontinued this week upon the
order of the Board of Works: San
some and Greenwich streets, Point Lo-
bos and Sixth avenues, l street and
NlnIl avenue Clxl6S0ln ana bryant
streets, Eighteenth and Kentucky
streets, hailroad and Tenth avenues,
Twenty ninth and Mission streets. Mis-
sion and Onondaga streets, Wayland
street and San Bruno road
Chief Inspector Porter is expecting
a rush OF applications for inspections
when the new ordinance goes into ef-
feet. The first ordinance required the
inspection of chimneys, but IT has not
worked out altogether as was planned.
People have had perhaps one fiue, that
for use in the kitchen, inspected and
have allowed the other hues 10 go until
some later date. Porter declares that
this is a bad policy TO pursue, and that
next winter there will be more or less
danger from fires. The new ordinance
allows sixty days for the householders
to have all chimneys inspected. If it is
attended to within thirty days the reg
uIar fee of 81 fiue will be charged. If
allowed to run over into the second
month there will be an additional fee
Of SO cents.
