ACTUAL WORK OF RAZING
DOME is COM MMENCED
Bids for Remainder of Larkin
Street Part Are Advertised

The long delayed task of taking down
the city hail dome began yesterday
when Contractor w. B. Abbitt put a
large force of Iaborers at the job of
carrying off the masses of debris
around the foot of the structure pre-
paratory to scaffolding.
Bids for the removal of the remain
ing portion of the Larkin street 'front.'
age of the city hall were also adver-
tised by the board Of works. TO be
opened January 90. The successful con-
tractor will be allowed 240 days to
clear away the structure, which is also
the time limit upon Abbitt.
The demurrer of the city attorney
to the suit of Frank j. Sullivan seek
ing to prevent the city authorities from
demolishing the dome of the city hall
was sustained yesterday. and Sullivan
was given 10 days in which to amend
his complaint. This decision by the
Judge was only what was expected in
view of his refusal the day before to
issue a restraining order. Although
given 10 days in which to amend his
complaint Sullivan effected the neces-
sary alterations yesterday and filed the
bill in the afternoon. II differs from
the former complaint chiefly in that it
alleges the tearing down of the city
hall dome has already begun, and that
the inj jury TO him as a tax payer is
imminent. Sullivan states that he will
appeal from the order of the court
denying him an injunction.

Mrs. Kincaid Takes Office

Mrs Mary Kincaid qualified for the
Office of school director yesterday, and
with the exception of her colleague
Thomas Hayden, was the only one OF
the mayors 10 appointees of the day
before 10 assume office.
He wants the date file put on this
Immediately" was the enigmatical ut
terance of the mayors messenger TO
the auditors office yesterday when pre-
senting Mrs Kincaids credentials.
He" was the mayor. and II is under
stood that the reason for his precise
instruction, as well as the probable
cause Of the commissioners own
promptitude lay in the fact that an in
junction proceeding TO debar Mrs. Kin
caid from taking Office was not held
impossible or even unlikely.
Among the malcontents who greeted
the announcement of her selection on
the school board with anything but en-
thusiasm ii was broadly hinted yester-
day that Mrs. Kincaid could not be
termed a resident OF San Francisco in
the charter sense. II was generally
stated that her real home for the past
three years had been IN Berkeley and
that only during the past three months
had she been in fact living on this side
of the bay.
Yesterdays promptitude insures Mrs.
hihColo al Tie advantages VI posilioh,
and if anybody wants TO fight they will
find her intrenched and in possession

It is understood that Casey will be
kept in the presidents chair of the

for CHASING its members with criminals
and for restricting the activities Of the
