Capt. j J Bradley Of the Fourteenth
Infantry, who is in charge of one Of the
big supply depots, has reported wholesale
robbery Of cars Of supplies on their way
here from the East. 1t makes a mans
blood hot to see the condition Of some OF
these cars and their contents when they
arrive. He said to-day:
Boxes are torn open and ransacked and
their contents scattered about. How much
has been stolen. of course, will never be
Known. / may cite one instance to illus
trate the point. The goods received here are
all new. One case was marked to contain
LA suits Of mems woollen underwear,
twelve p~asteboard boxes, with twelve suits
in a box. The case had been looted and
there remained only one box with twelve
suits in it and two or three boxes with from
two to three suits in them. We are obliged
to keep close watch even here. In all my
life | never saw 70 many fingers itch ing to
get something for nothing
The second detailed report OF the finance
committee of belief and Red Cross funds
has been issued, showing conditions on
Saturday. The report takes into considera-
ton only money actually received, Re-
oeipts, general and local. amount to So
1887. %, of which $225 pei SIS has been dis
bursed. The total claims registered to date
number 1899 for an aggragete amount of
81, $50, 2O4. SO. or these claims thirty-four,
aggregating 81, 1922, 80, have been rejected,
and 7i5, nggregating $50, S57 80, approved.
The Committee of Forty has adopted the
Burnham plans for the beautiication OF
new San Francisco. The plans combine
both utility and beauty. There are nine I
teen streets which will be widened or ex-
tended, besides five or six avenues which
will be laid out to relieve traffic on Market
street and other th~oroughfaree. Mont
Comery street IL to DO widened n ex-
tended both north and south. Powell
street is to have its grade changed. Van
Ness avenue will be extended southerly
to Mission street.
The day Of the cable road in San Fran
cisco has passed. Tho cable conduits
throughout the city have suffered great
damage from earthquake and fire.
Chief Engineer Hartwell of the United
Railroads, in a report to President Calhoun,
expresses the view that it would be un-
wise and impracticable to attempt the re-
construction of the cable roads.
A plan has been put forward for serving
the precipitous Mob Hill district with II
street railway. 1t involves construction
of an open cut in Powell street from Suffer
to Sacramento to carry the tracks. OF the
United Railroads over the hill, 1t also
~oontenplates carrying cross streets over
the open cut on viaducts.
The broken walls of the $4,000 900 City
Hall give mute but emphatic contradiction
to the charge often made that the editice
was a monument of graft. 1t took the great
disaster to prove to the people OF San Fran
cisco that their City Hall was honestly
built. No better masonry-none 80 good, in
fact. can be found in San Francisco.
The rush Of business at the Custom House
IL sufficient evidence that the city's misfor-
tunes have not affected her foreign trade,
which is having it's regular normal increase
