LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
QUESTION OF BURNING


Editor Advertiser:-Ple allow ma
d SINAI. space in your paper to speak
concerning the burning of cane trash
in the fields.
Il has been well demonstrated BY
sugar experts throughout the world
that heat viii invert sugar and also
raat inver- sugar viii counterfeit the
crvstaIlization OF an amount of sue
rose nearly equal to. its own weight.
therefore an open fire is one of the
greatest enemies to sugar manufac-
ture. and when used to burn the leaves
from fields Of standing cane the loss
would be difficult TO determine. and
the money paid to thirty laborers
would be small item where a ton of
sugar at $500 would be lost.
Where the fields of good healthy cane
are burned the loss is probably small.
but on plantations where semiannual
droughts occur and rattoon canes not
receiving sufficient supply of water
become infected with the borer and
red rot which persists in following
droughts. this disease prematurely with
ers the leaves. which cling to the
cane stalk instead of falling from it.
and accumulates to immense proper
tons. When this field is burned the
fire stops Immediately upon the cane
stalk for a period of fifteen minutes
or more before this mass of dried trash
is exhausted.
I have seen cane Of this kind come
to the mill with gummy liquid oozing
out from the joints and cracks in the
cane: stalk caused by fire which had
charred the rind so that it was crisp.
Under these conditions the burning of
cane fields before cutting is too broad
question to be acted upon too rapid
". and careful consideration of this
matter is necessary before being gen.
orally acted upon.
Thanking you in advance for allow
ing me this space, I am yours truly,

COUNCIL ABOLISHES
OLD TIME FEE SYSTEM
Berkeley Commissioners Do
Away With Percentage Plan
and Will Pay Salaries

BERKELEY, July 5.-In order to
public funds received by the assessors
and engineers Office, the old system of
allowing the city officials to collect a
fee averaging about 6 per cent on GER
tain collections, will be abolished, and
hereafter, following "a formal order of
the new commissioners, the officials
wilAreceive a stated salary, the moneys
received by their office being turned to
the benefit of the city treasury.
According to the system now in
vogue there is no way of determining
the amounts collected by the engineer,
VINO receives only commissions, no sal
airy being paid to him by the city.
During the days following the earth
quake this office was a sinecure and IT
is said that the town engineer col
lected $4,000 a year in fees for official
engineering work.
STATED SALARY PAID
The same is true of the assessors
office and this custom will be done
away with and a stated salary paid to
this official, who will make a strict ac-
counting Of moneys received as COM
missioner. r. A. Berry is in charge of
this department
The commissioners will hold their
council meeting with Mayor Hodghead
tomorrow morning at $3.50 o'clock, the
second such meeting. The most i'm
portant matter which will be eonsid-
cred is in reference to city printing. On
account of the fact that bids were adj
vertlsed for and submitted under the
old charter to the old board and there
is doubt as to the legal status, it is
likely that City Attorney Frank d.
Stringham will advise the board to
reject all bids, return the checks of bid
ders and readvertise.
TO CONSIDER JEsSUP
The appointment of j. j. Jessup as
city engineer to succeed w. H. Nc
Clure, elected a Commissioner, will
probably also come before the meeting,
although the council had decided to
transact other business before any fur
Their appointments were made.
But on account of the need of the
signature of the city engineer for GER
tain street work. Jessup's appointment
will be made. He will also be ex off,
clio superintendent of streets.
A large portion of these duties, how
ever, will fall upon Chris Engelbret-
sen, who Is an expert on street work.
He has been in the department for sew
eral years and. like Jessup. is very
popular. The office of the building in
spector will also be included in this
department under Commissioner w. T.

retained in this Office
