The Governor hoped SO.
The Chairman; # no one requested the

rose, saying that he had some remarks TO
make II this Draft of Budget, and after the
remarks from His ExcelIeucy, but he had
kent back, because he did not k to take
the initiative in discussions Of this kind he
would, however, now, offer Il few remarks.
In looking over this Draft, it must awaken
in every serious mind reflections and ques-
IONS OF n very pressing nature thus we
find a very large amount Of taxes entered
Import duty 300 900 francs Export duty
10000, etc, besides 15S, 900 francs in va
rious direct taxes on property. At the same
time we find large sums OF expenses, md
the question arts if reductions might not
BE effected IN those items of expenditure,
SO as to admit Of u reduction Of the taxes,
which fall 50 oppressiyely hard on the poor
er classes especially. We find, for instance
very large amounts for The hospitals, and
part also for medicine for all the
hospitals; might not Dispensaries lead
to a very great decrease on this one item
alone? Then there are other items, for IN
stance. salaries are too high throughout the
expense for the Colonial Council, the Assis-
tant's Salary, although we have this very
dav been told that the Assistant has no
duty to translate into Danish for the use of
Members at the same tlme, as Members who
are not conyersunt with Danish, and who
receive no remuneration for their services
to the Community, would have to pay for
such TRANSACTIONS Then again, we ma IN
the Budget a blank under Que item of re-
venue we are told that the slIplus Of the
Lottery would accrue to the Colonial Urea
>ury and would be entered on the annual
Budgets still, in the Draft. we tiud under

Lottery" appearing with a blank in the re-
venue column. He hoped thlt when the
Budget comes on for furtner discussion, the
figures represent nL the contribution from
the Lottery VII be carried ont. That re
venue would muteTia ly contribute to the
possibility OF reuu LIZ other items, such as
Import duty the payers Of this tax, Ner-
chants, feel the burden Of the high import
duty, and it deserves our first attention TO
provide the means for Icssening the import
duty, whereby also the INDECENT classes Of
Me community would be trnly benefited.
He. had some further remarks to make Oh
thIs Draft, but time had not allowed it.
The Chairman (hulme3j begged to say
that the Dgaft Of Budget was Received on
the 23rd October, and it was at once sent
out to Members, who have thus had the
Draft in hands 3 weeks, and sufficient time
to get acquainted with it.

HARBOR REVENUES
FACE IMPAIRMENT
States Profits Menaced by Pri-
Vate WharveS

The state board OF harbor commits
sioners has submitted a reply to the
resolution OF the state senate in which
information was requested in regard to
holdings on the water front not owned
by the state and their probable effect
upon the revenues of the port The
board states that the federal docks at
Fort Mason will handle the government
business and will cause just that much
loss to the state 1t also is pointed out
that the lands formerly held by the
Fair estate, west of Fort Mason. are
now owned by DIR. Hartland Law and
Herbert Law
''The board has no official knowledge
that this property is TO be improved. by
a system OF wharves and docks" says
the report. but it is rumored that such
improvements are contemplated"
Speaking of the effect of private
wharves. the commissioners say:
The construction OF wharves by pri-
vate owners Will reduce the income and
as a consequences lessen the possibility
OF the bond redemption fund. and SO
retard permanent improvements neces-
sary for the construction of great
harbor in exact proportion to the
amount of business diverted from state
wharves."
The report calls attention to the fact
that the inability to construct a sea-
wall so as to keep pace with the indus
trial growth has caused loss OF reve-
nue. from enterprises which operate pri-
vate wharves between Central basin
and India basin. In conclusion. the
harbor board says:
1T Is well known that a cutoff across
the bay at Dumbarton has been con-
structed and is soon to be placed in
operation. The operation of this cutoff
will necessarily reduce the income OF
the port materially by diverting trans
bay freights, a great portion OF which
at the present time are brought into
San Francisco across the water front
and pay tolls to the state.
The fact that a transcontinenta1 rail-
road is about to establish ferry slip
and terminal between Central basin and
India basin furnishes additional evil
dence of the Importance OF the speedy
construction Of the seawau between the
points above named in order TO protect
the revenues which the state should re-
ceive.''

FAVORITES FARE
VERY BADLY AT
ARCADIA
Snowfall Defeats Proper, Con-
Sisfenf Performer That Has
Won Many Races
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.-Favorites
were out of luck today at Santa Anita,
only one, Orcagna, succeeding in win
ming according to expectations. Long
shots simply showered on the talent all
the afternoon, and while most of them
were overlaid and should have been
held at shorter prices on actual per-
formances, the plunging brigade that
went to second and third choices in
efforts to put them over backed them
into favoritism that was not justified
by form.
SNOWFALL, the clever Texas trick that
came near beating Bemay Saturday,
after getting away poorly, simply gall
loped home in the fourth race, beating
Proper, the favorite, and consistent
performer that has brought home the
bacon at nearly every start. Snowfall
went to the front quickly, while
Proper was last to get. away. Proper
made his run on the backstretch and
got UP to third place, but Brooks held
SNOWFALL easily in front and had no
difficulty in landing first money from
the fast coming Proper.
Lasata which won last out in clever
fashion, easily beat Reformation in the
fifth.
Rains last night made the track
heavy, but clearing weather caused in
creased attendance.
