SEWERAGE OPPOSED
BY 2 SUPERVISORS
Center and Br0derick Decline to
Join Pollok in Recon-
mending Work
Commissioner Day of Works
Board Objects to Men
Employed on Streets

Supervisors Center and Broderick
openly asserted their opposition to the
carrying out of the city's projected
sewer system, for which $4,000, 900 of
bond issue money has been made avail
the street committee declined to join
Supervisor Pollok in recommending TO
the hoard the setting aside of $140, 900
to construct the southern portion OF
the east Potrero intercepting sewer.
Pollok will introduce the bill as q
minority report, Center and Broderick
eontenting themselves with voting
against the proposition in the board.
That body will in all probability follow
Pollok's lead, having indorsed the gem
eral scheme and having voted the gem
eral bonds
The committee asked Commissioner
Day to explain why, with $250,000 ap-
propriated for street cleaning. the re-
suit was so unsatisfactory. Day first
wanted more money, but the commit
tee refused such recommendation and
pressed for an answer. Day then ex-
planned that the civil service commits
sion sent TO the works board as street
sWeepers men who were too old and
'lnfirm to do a full days work. The
clerk was instructed to send letter
to the mayor advising him that the
committee saw no way to better the
street cleaning service under the pres
ent system of hand labor. With the
f1nance committee it has considered the
wisdom of depending more on ma
chimes and change in this direction
PROBABLY will be ordered

POLICEMEN LOSE
THAT MONTHS PAY
District Court of Appeal Sus-
tains Judge Hunt in Decid-
ing Salary Cases
Members of Department Given
Enforced Vacations i'm 1906
Can Not Recover

The members Of the San Francisco
police force who took an enforced vaca-
tion Of one month during the summer
of 1905 and who brought action to re-
cover their salaries for that vacation
period will be compelled 10 lose that
months pay
The district court of appeal yester-
day affirmed the decision handed down
by Superior Judge Hunt, in which the
latter held that the policemen had no
claim. Yesterdays decision will prac-
tically end the controversy of the po-
licemen.
The suit of the policemen is a result
of the action of the police commission
ers, who when they found the police
fund depleted shortly after the fire or
dered that each policeman take a
months vacation without pay. Three
hundred and fifty-eight of the patrol
men and officers took their vacations.
and the other members of the depart
ment would undoubtedly have taken
theirs had not the reign of terror caused
by gaspipe thugs caused the finance
committee of the board of supervisors
to make an appropriation sufficient to
carry the entire police department until
the end OF the year
Those policemen who would have
taken their vacation but did not do so
received full months pay; the others
lost their salary for the time they were
absent from duty. The latter began
suit against the commission TO recover
one months salary, but Judge Hunt
held that they did not make their claims
In the required 80 days.

From Newman comes the holiday
edition of the West Side Index in gayly
colored dress. Santa Claus in Newman
comes whooping along in a modern
touring car instead of in the old sleigh
with reindeers. and his picture in three
colors on the front page shows that
he Is not only In a hurry but is well
provided with Christmas gifts for folk
of all ages and sizes. The advertise
ments inside also bear out the fact that
Newman is going to have a high old
time this year. The edition of the In
dex is splendidly printed on heavy
stock and is worthy of METROPOLITAN
daily. The publisher is to be con-
graduated.
