Tomorrow will be clean up day"
with the board OF supervisors. The

ing of the board until September. The

clal legislation incident to the fiscal
years beginning, ordered the sale Of
S3,200.000 worth of school fire protec-
tion, sewer and hospital bonds in Sap
tember and taken the preliminary

Will enjoy a six weeks vacation. A
single member will adjourn the board
session each Monday, as required by
the charter.
The passage of the ordinances ap-
propriating $4.375 monthly for the
maintenance Of the prosecutions de-
tective service under the orders of the
district attorney; the consideration of
the tenement house bill, vetoed by
Mayor Taylor and returned to the
board by the building laws committee
with neutral report; the enactment
of the bill licensing private detective
bureaus and requiring $50 annual fee
and $4,000 bond: and the setting
aside of 5000 to fit up the health de-
street near Seventh. Will be the most
important matters OF business trans
acted.
WILL CONSIDER FRANCHISE
The question of calling for bids on
a street railway franchise over Cough
street between McAllister and Market
will be considered, the public utilities
committee, upon the pledge of the Fill
more street Improvement association to
bid for the same, recommending the
offer. The club desires the new route
to avoid the steep grades in Fillmore
south of McAllister and would lease
It's tracks to the United Railroads to
link its Fillmore and Valencia lines.
The bonfire ordinance will come up
for reconsideration, it's final passage
having failed by one vote last Monday.
Four negatives succeeded in defeating
the measure last week, the nine affirm
atives lacking one of the charter re-
quirement for a clear majority. The
building of campaign bonflres on the
asphalt and bitumen streets is prohib-
tied by the terms of the bill on the
ground that they are destructive. Su-
perVisors McLeran and Murphy stood
up for the bonfires last Monday as a
valuable and time honored adjunct of
political campaigns, but the street COM
mittee, the mayor and the majority
held the bonfres a relic to be we'll dis
pensed with for the good of the pave
ments DR.. Taylor Will not be present
at the meeting, but his view will prob
ably be upheld.
MAY AWARD BOXING PERMIT
The police committee will ask the
board to award the October boxing per-
NIT to the Pacific athletic club and the
November one to the Occidental.
The appropriation Of $4,000 to pave
Kearny street from Market to Califor-
MIA with basalt blocks will probably
arouse opposition from those who de-
sire a smooth pavement on that thor
oughfare. The basalt blocks, however,
have the good word of the street COM
mittee and the board of works.
School Director Joseph O'Conner will
ask the board for a leave of absence
from the state for so days. OConnor,
with Deputy Superintendent James
Ferguson, Mrs c. r. Pechim, principal
of the Glenn Park school; Miss Agnes
G.. Regan, principal of the Bernal
school, and probably Superintendent
Roncovieri viii attend the convention
of the national civil federation Of
teachers in. London about September
Is and later visit and inspect the
