GOVERNMENT HAS POWER
TO CONTROL FIREBOATS
Dispute Settled at Conference
of Mayor and Inspector

The late difference of opinion be-

tied yesterday when Bulger showed a
volume of regula tions to Fire Com
mssioners NewhaH and Edwards to
prove that the government has COM

fireboats of New York. Chicago and
other cities, and should, in conse-
quence, legis1ate what should consti-
tute the crew of the fireboats Scannell
and Sullivan, lately put into commits
sion.
So. the commissioners arranged to
strengthen the sea going force of the
boats, as suggested.
Secretary Mccarthy of the commits
sion explained that, owing to the ex-
pense of running, only one boat will
be kept in readiness at a time, the
other being. taken out only in an emer-
gency. In this way the city can af-
ford to have two engineers and two
firemen on each shift. The men off
duty will be called out should the sec
ond boat be needed.

Administration circles were gratified
yesterday at the. receipt of telegram
from Washington indicating more
kindly attitude on the part OF Secretary
Ballinger. The order to return the
money deposited by the city for the
Lake Eleanor timber has been rescind-
ed. The case will be reviewed by the
secretary. The announcement from
Washington came in the form of tele-
gram from Judge S. NJ Stockslager, the
citys representative there. 1t read:
Secretary interior requests treasurer
TO hold money subject to application to
clear reservoir site.''
The misunderstanding arose over the
citys desire to clear the brush from the
Lake Eleanor reservoir site This priv
ilege is conferred in the original per-
mits. In accordance with the rules Of
the government City Engineer Manson
made payment in the sum Of $4,000
through the local subtreasury before
undertaking the work. Ballinger de-
clfned to accept the amount on the
ground that the city had no permit to
grub out the underground. He went a
step further and ordered that the money
be returned to the city.

TUBERCULOSIS ORDINANCE
WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE
Mayor Has Until Friday to Con-
slider Health Measure

Mayor Taylor does not know wheth-
er to sign or to veto the present tuber-
culosis ordinance. Since its final pas
sage by the board of supervisors a
week ago last Monday he has had the
matter before him, and yesterday gave
a hearing to Walter Macarthur and
others representing the league for the
prevention of the disease. He must
act on the bill before the close of Fri
day.
With the general purpose of the or
dinance he is in accord, but both on
grounds of legality and of policy may
consider it advisable to veto the meas
nre and return it to the supervisors
for amendment
Both the Necessity of giving the
health authorities power to prevent the
spread of the disease by providing for
the care of ignorant or impoverished
victims, and the danger such power
might be put to abuse in the hands of
a domineering or a corrupt officer
have been present as baff1ing factors in
the mayors consideration of the ordi-
nance.

John Muir has withheld an expression
of opinion thus far, but now we feel
that the club is on trial before the
public and we desire that the people
should not regard our organization as
an aggregation of sentimentalists and

majority of the club decide in favor of

we feel that all loyal members should
stay. by the wagon and not secede
from the club just when its future

acres of forest reserves established

the result of persistent agitation by
the leaders of the Sierra club. Never
