swirl has caught and dragged down into the whirlpool
of exposure Rue Schmitz and the of public officials
and business who have fallen with them.
1t was comparatively insignificant ordinance before
the Board of Supervisors and the bribery attending it
that gave Special Agent Burns the hold that he has tried
for months to gain Yet strangely significant is the fact
that this ordinance which paved the way for the denoue
ment of yesterday aimed at the betterment OF
public morals and that the Supervisors who took
tainted from the hands of bbe to defeat it did
with the knowledge that their act might lead to the ruin
and downfall Of the young grhood Of San Francisco.
The ordinance in question that proposed to make
msdemeanor for the propretors of skating rnks to
admit girls under 16 years of age into their rnks unless
accompanied by parents guardians, and aimed
directly at Frank A. Maestrett former president OF the
Board of Public Works. who is interested in the manage

"Mr. London said Two old men were
smoking and drinking together after
dinner.
"The host rang the bell and an old
woman appeared.
"'Confound you, stupid said the
host. Didn't tell you 1 wanted the
Scotch? Take this back, and bring
what asked for, you old fool!'

There was the usual semi-nonthly
spasm of the city council last Mon

and all of the aldermen were pres
ent The most important business
transacted was the appointment of
committee to sink several test wells
north of the pump house in an effort
to secure a better quality of water
supply. AS to quantity there is
great sufficiencv. but the quality is
nothing to brag about. Several
minor questions came up for con-
sideration. and a synopsis of the
business transacted is as follows:
A communication from w. F.
Meyers was read asking authority
from the city council to put in two
cement crossings on the west side of
San Juan avenue at Sixth and Sew
enth streets to connect with the
cement sidewalks recently installed.
The price made by Mr.. Meyers was
ISL cents per square foot for a cross
ing five inches in depth, and II cents
per square foot for crossing six
inches in depth. As the appropria-
ton for streets and alleys is now
overdrawn about 500 it was decided
to indefinitely postpone the matter
of putting in any more new cross
ings at the present time.
The salaries of the day and night
pumper at the pump house were
raised $40 per month. effective No
vember lst. The day pumper now
receives $50 per month and the night
pumper $40 per month.
The water committee was instruct
ed to build house over the deep
we'll at the pump house at once.
Ordinance No. $50 accepting the
gift of three blocks in the Highland
addition to the town of La Junta.
Immediately west of Home Place,
for the purpose of a public park and
pleasure grounds and providing a
name therefor was placed on its
first reading. The park is to be
known as Woodruff Park"
A crusade against property own
ers who are not connected with the
sewer was inaugurated by instruct
ing the city marshal to report to the
city council at each meeting the
names of those who have not as yet
complied with the ordinance. The
campaign will be inaugurated by
notifying the property owners along
the main sewer between First and
Second streets to connect within
thirty days after the service of a
notice by the city marshal. This
process will be kept up all winter
in each one of the sewer districts
until all Of the property owners not
connected have been notified. The
penalty for failure to connect with
the sewer within thirty days after
being served with notice by the
city marshal is $40 per day.
