STAFFORD JUSTIFIfS
FERRY DEPOT WORK
President of HarbOr Commission
Shows improvements In
crease Rental Values

In reply to those who have criticised
as extravaganza the expenditure by the
harbor commission of $4,000 in inn
proving the ferry depot, President
Stafford has prepared a statement in
which he shows that the permanent
improvements enabled the commission
ers to ask higher rents and that the
net increase in revenue will amount in
four years to more than the expense
He takes the revenues in April. 1907,
at the end of the Spear administra-
tion and compares them with the reve-
nues I'm April. 1909. In the ferry depot
and ferry house the net increase
amounts to s1,142.50 a month.
The present board engaged a real
estate expert to value all seawall lots
owned by the state and the rents were
readjusted on the basis of a 4 per cent
return on the experts valuation The
rent rec eipts from seawall lots in April.
1909, shows a net increase of $2,025 q
month over April, 1907
Rents of offices on wharves and bulk
heads were similarly readiusted and
receipts from these sources shows a
net increase of sS90.25 month.
The net monthly increase for rents
and concessions apart from the regti-
lar sources of income such as wharf
rent tolls and dockage, amounts to
$4O56.75 a month, or $4S.681 a year.
This does. not include the $3.50 month
from the United Railroads and the $50
month from the Presidio and ferries

Branch of Consumers
League in This City

The necessity for the organization of
branch of the Consumers league in
San Francisco was the subject for dis
cussion yesterday afternoon at the
monthly meeting OF the local council
of women, Rev. N s. W. GalIwey de-
livering an address.
He said that although he was deeply
in which he had been much interested
In the east, he found but little need
for an organization here.
There are but few factories here;
the goods sold In the shops are shipped
from the east or abroad and their
origin can hardly be traced, and ex
listing conditions as regards the well
fare OF employees are surprisingly good.
he said that the entire city practically
being new the shops were we'll
equipped for the workers therein, and
the contrast with conditions he had
seen in New York and Chicago was
wonderfully favorable to San Fran
cisco.
Another surprising fact. Mr. Call
wey said, was the readiness of the
heads Of business firms here to COM
ply with suggestions made for any
improvements for their employees
welfare work, which might be con-
sidered a side issue of the league, is
necessary among shop girls here, but
Mr. Gallwey considered that it might
be carried on by organizations already
here and he protested against the for
nation of unnecessary associations of
any kind in social work.
AT the close of Mr.. Gallwey's address
there was a discussion in which the
