MAYOR vETOES BIG
SALARY RAISE

The Mayor transmitted to the Board
of Supervisors yesterday his veto of
the resolution designed to raise the
salaries of ten employees of the Audi
tors office. The increase would have
cost the city $275 per month. or $4,000
per year, if put into effect The Mayor
says in his veto message:
"While the proposed increase in the
salaries may be necessary, it is, in my
opinion, too great one. I believe that
the clerks in the Auditors office should
receive an increase, but to raise one
clerks salary 25 per cent, another's so
per cent and another's rs per cent
seems to me to be disproportionate and
unwise."
The Mayors veto must be sustained
by the votes of fourteen Supervisors
and it is understood that the votes will
be forthcoming when the veto is con-
sidered.

WANTS FRANCHISE
FOR PIPE LINE

F. A. Healy filed a petition with the
Board OF Supervisors yesterday for
franchise to lay pipe line in and un
der all streets, alleys and avenues in
the city for the transportation of steam
and hot water for heating purposes.
Three months ago Healy was granted
temporary permit TO lay a pipe line
in Polk and Franklin streets and Van
Ness avenue to supply heat TO the re-
tail stores. He now finds that no one
will finance the project if the pipe line
is limited to certain streets Healy
thinks that a franchise granting the
use of all streets for the purpose will
appeal to capitalists as being a good
Investment
