San Francisco, July 12--Altnousn
the city's building laws were ~ .
chaotic state during the month OF 1une'
buildins permits were issued to the
vslue Of 81 900, 900, and in this sum
10 mt included those one story tenn.
porarv structures which may be erected
Tor time without special permit.
Now that the building law bag been
promu gated, reconstruction will take

the sIownees OF the insurance COM

On to the present time but $l5, ooo,-
600 has been paid ont In insurance.
We're the various companies to loosen
their purse strings as the situation de'
mands, San Francisco would at once
enter upon a building boom such az
has never been known before. AS IL
Ia. plans at this transtory stage are be-
inc drawn for dozen tall buildings to
be erected in the heart of the burned
district.
An Oakland department store, OBJ
serving that it was unable to meet lts
augmented trade by the small ORDER
system, determined to place an order
for train load OF goods in the East.
A few days before the goods arrived,
the proprietor OF the Oakland store be-
came alarmed, fearing he had placed
an order beyond bis capacity to handle
He telephoned to large department
store in San Francisco, asking to be re-
lieved Of half OF the consignment. The
San Francisco firm consented.
When the goods arrived, the San
franciscan disposed of them before he
had fairly placed the goods on the
shelves, teIephoned to bis Oakland
friend, purchased the rest of the con-
signment and disposed of it with the
same alacrity as he had done the fret
part. This simply illustrates that San
Francisco is not to be displaced as the
main trade center.
The bridging of the bay, which was
a pet scheme OF some of the earlier
railroad magnates, is now to be put
through. President Hartman has or.
dered that work begin Immediately

the report Of typical jam factory:
ssrhe boiling factory lay between the
yard and the stable, and the horses
reached the latter through the boiling
rom. The sanitary accommodation
vas hardly separated from the rooms
where the fresh fruit and uncovered
lam were kept, and the floors we're dir

Another factory inspector found Jam
pota being washed in "liquid like dark
soup, which smelled abominably.
The manager informed the inspector
that the water was changed 'abont
once week. When fished out Of
these evil-smelling tanks the pots were
allowed to stand until dry, when they
were considered ready to refill.
Inspectors of bakeries found Tat u
was a frequent custom to battle the
children in them after the close OF work
on Saturdays, and the family's weekly
collection OF dirty clothing was sorted
in the bakeries for dispatch to the
laundry.
The sausage factories, Gays the re-
port, are mostly owned by Germans,
are small, dilapidsted and poorly lit
and are infested with rats"

He said the loss to the members OF the
