on the free list and reducing the du-
ties on print paper, with certain res
trictions, made by the committee of
the house, are incorporated in the
bill.
The duty on refined sugar is re-
duced 4-100 of cent per pound and
on dextrine " cent per pound. A re-
duction of half a cent per pound is
also made in the duty on starch, with
the exception of potato starch. Zinc
ore is assessed one cent per pound
for the zinc contained. The tariff on
pig iron is reduced from 81 to 81
per ton.
The principal increases are made
on lemons, cocoa and substitutes for.
coffee, coal tar, dyes, gloves, coated
papers and Autograph prints. AS was
expected the new tariff bill is made
on the maximum and minimum basis
with provision that maximum rates
are not to go into effect until so
days after the passage of the bill.
BY a reciprocacy petition the bill
contains a paragraph assessing du-
ties on bituminous coal, coke and
agricultural implements. by which
these articles are .givef sEsFrr fyeg Or
duty when imported from countries
which permit free importation of
these articles from America.
The inheritance tax provision of
the bill is similar to the New York
state law and provides a tax of five
$500 that are collateral inheritances
or in which strangers are legal heirs.
In case of direct inheritance taxes
prescribed are: On $4,000 to
100000, 1 per cent; on 100000
to 100000, 2 per cent, and on those
over 100000 per cent. 1t is es-
timated $20.000.000 can be deriver
from this tax. The maximum and
minimum provisions of the bill do
away with the necessity of continu-
ing foreign trade agreements. A
provision of the bill is designated to
meet conditions resulting from the
patent laws of Great Britain which
require that patentees must manufac-
ture their articles within Great Brit
ain. This provision applies the same
rules to patents taken out in these
countries by aliens, as applied to
Americans in the country of the
aliens.
The bill provides so per cent re-
duction on lumber and steel.

LIBRARY BUILDING
NEW LAW PASSED BY LEGISLA-
TURE ALLOWS THE LEVYING
OF ONE MILL TAX FOR MAIN
TENANCE PURPOSES.

Considerable of the time of the city
council was taken up last night in
planning on the proposed library for
this city. During the last session Of
the legislature Representative Holm
introduced bill providing for the
levying of one mill tax for library
purposes. The provisions of the Holm
bill were covered by another bill
which was introduced in the state
senate and Mr. Holm did not try to
force this bill ana the senate bill was
passed and is already signed by tha
governor. This gives the city coun-
Gil the privilege of levying a one
mill tax and this levy in this city
would bring in a revenue Of $4,000
per year on the present valuation
The library committee on the city
council has deferred taking up the
matter of library building with
Andrew Carnegie until after seeing
what the legislature would do with
this bill Now that it is passed the
committee will get busy and it is
thought that there will be no diff
Guilty in getting the $4,000 for the
building. The first plan was for a
$4,000 building, but with the pros
pective growth of the city 1t is
thought that $4,000 building will
be needed.
DR.. Blake ana other property own
ers on Mission street, between Pa
louise and First street, appeared be-
fore the city council and pointed out
that owing to the present regrade on
this street theirslots would receive
all of the drainage water from the
hill above it, and 1t would have no
means of being drained off. They
asked that the city install some sort
of a drainage system. The matter
was referred to the street committee.
The list of citizens delinquent in
the payment of poll tax was read
and the city attorney was instructed
to commence legal proceedings to en-
force the collection of the delinquent
amounts.
Attention was called to the fact
that a number of the two-story build
lings of the city had not been pro-
vided with fire escapes. according to
recent ordinance passed, and the
street committee was instructed to
force the installation of thes fire es-
capes at once.

Irish On the Increase
Ed. Russell Recalls the Days When
There We're But Two Eligible

Ed. S. Russell is gaily decorated
with the green badge of old Ireland
today. 1t is a gala day with him,
but the sight of the many green
badges which were constantly pass
ing and repassing his office put him
in a reminiscent mood and he re-
called the days in Wenatchee when
there were but two voters who were
entitled to wear the green. 81 was
one of the two," said Mr.. Russell.

HETTY GREEN
BUYS A HOME
WORLDS RICHEST WOMAN
TIRES OF LIFE ALONE AND DE-
CIDES LUXURY AND EXTRAVA.
CANOE is BETTER.

New York, March 17.-Broken of
the habits of rigid economy followed
for years by the dreariness of living
life alone, Mrs. Hetty Green has pur-
chased a handsome residence in Fifth
avenue in which she is soon to take
up her abode along with her son-in-
law, Matthew Astor Wilks, and his
bride.
With her business eye still unsleep-
ing, however, Mrs. Green will keep
the title to the property in her own
name.
Since the marriage of her daugh-
ter, Sylvia, Mrs. Green has been re-
ported as very lonely. Before the
wedding she associated with but few
except her daughter. Then Mr..
Wilks entered into the life of the
mother and daughter, winning Mrs.
Green's companion away.
Left alone, Mrs. Green saw that
there was but one way in which to
have the companionship she sought.
That way was to make a home for
the three of them now in the family.
This scheme she began when she pur-
chased the Fifth avenue residence.
From a $24 month fiat in Hobo
ken to the street of plutocrats is
quite a change, but the richest wom-
an in the world is said to have closed
her eyes and taken the leap blindly.
Mrs. Green paid between .$650,000
and 800. 000 for the property. She
is said to have decided that living in
luxury will be better than the bore
dom of constant association with her.

METHODIST RECEPTION

There was an unusually large at
tendance at the social given at the
Methodist church last night by the
Ladies' Aid. This was in the nature
of a reception to the new members
who have recently united with the
church and friends who have become
members of the congregation. The
following program was given, which
was followed by light refreshments,
served in the church parlors:
Song -. BY the Audience
Prayer :. ...... Mr.. McClintock
Piano Duet
Merle Loving and Eva Roderick
Recitation ....... Mary Saunders
Violin Solo ........... Mrs. Magee
Mrs. Jones. accompanist.
Reading ........ Leta Roierick

Male Chorus. Led by Prof. Brownell
Girls Quartette.
Sadie Godfrey, Doris Jones, Coda

Violin Solo. Prof Van Haverskerke
Accompanied by Miss Vaughn.
Following the program the pastor
extended a cordial welcome to the
recent newcomers. The musical part
of the program was under the direc-
ton of Prof. c. o. Brownell. The
work of Mr.. Brownell is highly ap-
preciated by the church, and its re-
suits are noticeably seen in the i'm
provement of the congregational
singing as well as in the choir of
young men and women under his d.
rection. The director announced that
no encores would be permitted, but
he was compelled to break the rule
in the case of Prof. Van Haverskerke,
whose rendition of Musin's Mazurka
called forth prolonged applause. The
girls quartette pleased the audience
greatly.
The San Francisco call., 1909-04-06

that San Francisco, three years
after the greatest disaster Of his
tory, is capable OF housing the
largest national political, relig-
ious or fraternai convention.
One Of the most significant ex-
hibitions of popular confidence in
the future Of San Francisco was
supplied at the recent elections at
which bond issues for various
municipal betterments were pro-
posed to the voters. The bonds
were voted in each instance by
overwhelming naajorities, despite
vigorous opposition offered by
certain interests. The result IS
that San Francisco viii have S18,-
100000 to spend in improve
ments.
The bonds are being sold as
fast as plans and specifications
can be prepared for the more ifslz
portant work which it is the IN
tention of the city to do at once.
Up to date $8,68O,OO0 in ali OF
these bonds have been sold, and
at such large premiums that the
city will be paying only 446 per
cent interest on the first lot of
S3,280,00O and on the last lot of
$5,400,000 only 4 1-8 per cent, in
stead of the per cent called for
by the bond issue. No better in
dication of the stability and finan-
cial soundness of San Francisco
could be found than this express
sion of confidence in the city's
future supplied by the eastern
money kings who subscribed for
the bonds.
The work of repaving the city
streets sand constructing new
sewers, building hospitals and
schoolhouses, a new auxiliary
water supply for fire protection,
the new hall of justice and the
garbage disposal plant are all in
cluded in the betterments which
are being prosecuted with the
funds realized from the sale of
these bonds.
No single sign points so plainly
to the inevitable greatness of San
Francisco as the steadiness main
tanned by real estate values since
the FIRE. If values had sluinped
it would have meant that men
who were attached to the PENN
sula by the close bond of realty
holdings had lost their trust in

adornment of the city undertaken
by the federal government. The
new custom house, which is be-
ing erected at a cost of 81, ,2O3, ,319,
IS nearing completion. A contract
tor work on the postofhce build
ing involving an expenditure of
$4,000 has been let. The recent
purchase Of land west of Fort Ma
son for over 100000 was made
for the purpose of constructingk
docks, wharves and warehouses
for the United States transport
service, which will call for the
expenditure of $1,5OOoOO. Bids
for a portion of this work have
already been received by the gov
ernment. The recent selection and
purchase by the government of
the Vanderbilt property, corner
OF 'Sansome and Pine streets, for
$4,000 will be Immediately fol-
lowed by the erection of a sub
treasury building, the cost of
which will be at least $5OO,OOO.
Consideration of the San Fran
cisco OF today naturally carries
the mind to the dollars and cents
Of its building operations. The
collective energies of the people,
it might almost be said, have been
concentrated on this, the chief
necessity of the city. But other
activities should not be sighted.
Wholesale and retail business has
been brisk and characterized bv
an amount of initiative and daring
never before known in the west
Commerce has steadily increased.
Already the merchants are cal
culating the possibilities of new
markets and new commodities
which will follow the completion
OF the great isthmian waterway.
The accomplishment in the
matter of sanitation makes a
unique record which has attract
ed the attention of the whole
world. Under the expert super
vision of Dr. Rupert Blue the ratA
has been driven from the CITY and
San Francisco has been given
such bill of health as no other
metropolis anywhere can boast.
Ibis imperfect summary would
do gross injustice to. the city un-
less it included some mention of
the big plans for harbor improve
ment and the fight for an ade-
quate water supply from the high
Sierras which are now under con
sideration. Thirty-one wharves
give the city eight miles of dock
ing room and take care of a com
merce that amounts annually to
l5,OOO,OOO tons. Yet the CITY must
have more berthing space and the
state legislature has approved
bond issue OF 100000 for this
purpose, which will be submitted
to the people of the state at th~
next election. simultaneously
the municipality is waging the
hight which will ultimately oive
the city the Hetch Hetchy vaiIev
and Lake Eleanor for the storaos
OF the mountain waters which
VIII be piped into the city and
sold to householders under mn
nicipal administration.

kind has happened.
The records of the real estate
board show that since the fire OF
April, 1906, 22,97O sales Of real
estate have been recorded The
total value of these transactions
amounted to $93,762,97.
For the same period the mort
cages, placed on record totaled
$115, ,247, ,196, while the releases OF
mortgages reached the remark
able figure of So, $4,000.
1t must be remembered that of
all the money loaned by far the
greater part came from the saw
ings and commercial banks of San
Francisco and from private in
dividuals of this city.
The real estate sales during the
period that has followed the FIRE
are divided as follows
April, 1906, to April, 1907.

The posteatthquake period is
credited with 20,477 building per-
mits, which have involved an ex-
penditure of not less than $143,-
243,o45. The figures for building
permits do not reach that sum,
but nearly all the buildings erect
ed since the fire have cost over
10 per cent more than the original
contract price. The record for
the three years since the fire for
building operations shows a total
of building contracts entered into
of S12o,312,4O5, as follows:
April, 1906, to April, 1907. -.

To the large amounts expended
by individuals in building opera
tions and to the ambitious system
of municipal improvements under
way there must be added, as part
OF the roster OF San Francisco
betterments, the projects for the
