SUPERVISORS CONCLUDE
WATER RATE HEARING
Recommendation of Com
mittee to Be Received
by Board Today

The Board of Supervisors. acting as
committee of the whole on fixing of
water rates. completed the taking of
evidence from representatives of the
Spring Valley Water Company last
night. The evidence will be turned over
to the water committee OF the Board
of Supervisors, which will recommend
a rate to the board at a meeting to be
held this afternoon.
Before the meeting begun last night
several of the Supervisors gathered IN
an anteroom, presumably for the pur-
pose of holding a private conference,
and as a result the meeting was more
than an hour late in convening. The
first witness for the water company
was Engineer Arthur L. Adams, who
testified that the value OF the Spring g
Valleys system under normal condi-
tions would be between 100000 900 and
$4,000, 900. He failed TO state what its
value was under the present abnormal
conditions.
Assistant Engineer Cyril Williams
Jr. testified that the estimated expenses
for maintaining and operating the
system for the next fiscal year were
s531.600. The taxes would amount to
about sS75,000. He could not say what
proportion of the taxes would go to
the city of San Francisco. The increase
of wages for the coming year would
amount to about $4,000, he said. and
the increased cost of fuel to S21, 600
Assistant Secretary George Booker
stated that the income of the company
for the next year under the rates of
1902, which the company was asking
to have restored, would be about $780,
900 month.
A delegation of citizens from the
University Mound district, headed by
c. F. Buttle, was present to complain
that the Spring Valley Water Company
had failed to furnish a water supply in
that section. The corporations ex-
planation had been that the income
would not justify the expenditure.
The representatives of the company
promised the Supervisors to take the
matter under further consideration.
The meeting ended with an appeal on
the part of NJ. B. Kellogg for the rates
of 1902. He accused the Supervisors of
bad faith in their treatment of the
company last year, and acting Mayor
Gallagher followed him with a denial

and practical suggestions made for sys-
tematizing the work.
There is still a need for further do

having practically none as yet There
has been little difficulty in securin z
Quarters for the stations. the Gse OF
a number OF restaurants having been
donated, with the dishes and tables.
Buildings also have been supplied, and
too much credit can hardly be given
for the perseverance of the heads OF
the different sections or for the gen
erosity displayed by the various mer-
chants. both wholesale and retail. in
their contributions. of all manner of
foodstuffs.
Thomas Magee & Sons have given the
use of the building at T79 Market street
as a station where the surplus ma
terials may be gathered and redis-
tributed. Father Crowley of the Youths
Directory has volunteered TO send boys
wherever they may be needed. Presi-
dent Duffey of the Board of Public
Works has placed two teams at the
disposal of the women OF the commit
tee.
The Native Daughters will do their
part. and Darina Parlor, Buena Vista
Parlor. Alta Parlor. Orinda Parlor and
Calaveras Parlor will combine and use
the large building at Pine and Mar
ket streets for their headquarters. They
will keep open house there and will
serve coffee all day to the workers.
1t has been decided TO request the
merchants TO deliver their donations at
