FREETHOUGHT FUNERALS.

There is no subject about which Freethinkers are
so sensitive the manner in which shall part
with beloved dead
Now is there any subject about which Freehinkers,
as class well afford to take deep and serious
interest in that from time almost immemoral they
have been hampered by creed and custom until it has
become difficult, in many instances, to successfully
overcome these influences and environments.
During the past few weeks the Blade has been in
receipt of several communications upon this subject,
and for sound, practical common-sense solution Of
the question: commend the article appearing in
another column Of this issue from the pen of James
f. Norton Jr. While it is radically different from
the known opinions of many Freethinkers, it is
the less departure from prevailing customs that
might well be adopted by Freethinkers for the pur
poses suggested

the beginning of this educational movement We

PETITION FOR GRAIN
SHEDS is REJECTED
Harbor Commissioners Pass Pay
Roll, but Transact No
Other Business

The harbor commissioners held a spe-
cial meeting yesterday at which the
only business transacted was the pass
ing OF the monthly payroll. for which
the meeting had been called. and the
rejection OF a petition from the mer-
chants exchange and a number OF local
transportation companies.
The petition was a request for the
construction of more grain sheds on
section 1 of the seawalL. The petition
erS claimed that unless this was done
the grain trade would be driven to Port
Costa. The petition concludes:
THE present limited shed room upon
the seawalI has necesSitated on your
part very stringent, rigid and onerous
restrictions being placed upon the grain
coming here
The secretary was directed to notify
the petitioners that under the law the
sheds were provided for protection
against weather to grain while in pro-
cess of transportation and not to fur
nish warehouse facilities and until such
time as the present sheds. which are
practically, empty most of the time, be-
come inadequate for the purposes con
templated by the law, no other sheds
will be constructed.

Contributions to the Inspection
Fund Coming In in Crafty
ing Numbers

The work of furnishing the city with
pure milk supply is progressing
steadily, under the auspices of the I'm
proved Milk association, which met yes
terday morning In California club hall.
AS a result of their appeal to various
organizatio and clubs for assistance
the directors have been encouraged by
a generous response and feel confident
that they will meet with no long delay
in raising the necessary $4,000. almost
all of which will go to the salary of an
inspector for the dairies of the neigh
boring counties. The milk dealers
proval of this undertaking by an ini-
tial contribution of $3.50. A wider ap-
peal will be made to the general public
