SUIT BY THE CITY
AGAINST CRfMATORY
Municipality Lays Claim to a
Share in Profits on the
Byproducts
Order Asked for Permission to
Examine Books of Sanitary
Reduction Works

To settle long standing dispute as
to the basis upon which the sanitary
reduction works must pay to the city
2 per cent of its gross receipts, suit
was commenced by City Attorney Long
against the works yesterday for an
accounting. The franchise, which was
granted in Februar. 1896. provided that
the works, in return for the exclusive
privilege of destroying garbage in San
Francisco, should pay the city per
cent of its gross receipts for 10 years
and per cent for the remaining 50
years OF its franchise.
The corporation has computed the
percentage upon its receipts from
garbage collectors, but the city claims
the percentage of profit also upon the
receipts for by products, such as fer
tiliser. sheet iron, tin, zine, copper,
solder, and other substances.
Representatives of the city have
been frequently refused permission to
examine the books of the corporation,
and an order of court is asked direct
ing that the books be made available
for that purpose. 1t is claimed that
the city is a partner of the reduction
works to the extent of its percentage
and therefoRe should have the privilege
of examining the books
The amounts paid by the reduction
works to the city under the 2 per cent
arrangement since the franchise was
granted are stated in the complaint to
be as follows: 1898, $40; 1899, $500
approximately 1900, s676; 1901. $6S7;
1902, $3.50; 1908, s9S9; 1904, s1,06g; 1905.
s1,175: 1896, $1.346; 1907. 1929; 1908,
$1,447, and 1909 s1,645.
In a second count the company is
sued for $3.50, representing charges
made for the reduction of garbage from
the schools. 1t is claimed that under
the franchise the corporation is obliged
to treat all city refuse for nothing, but
that it insists upon charging so cents
per ton.

ness Of selling Mendocino county lands

Discrimination Is Increased

Apparently with the expectation of
making the Pacific coast cities salts
fed. the railroads propose reducing the
existing first class rate of $135 from
Portland, Seattle and Tacoma to Spo-
kane, a like percentage! crea ting a
specific reduction of 221a cents. This.
however, 1t viii be noted, increases the
discrimination against the Pacific Goa st
distributor in competition with the
eastern jobber 271a cents. In other
words, he is that much worse off than
he was before.
The third proposition is by far the
most destructive to Pacific coast dis
tributing interests pf any under consid-
GRAFTON. Tt must be borne in mind that
probably 80 per cent of the volume of
westhound transcontinental business
moves under sea competitive terminal
commodity rates. Up to the present
time tariffs from the east to interior
points have been constructed by add
ing to the terminal commodity rate
the local or distributive rate apply
ing from the nearest terminal to the
interior point thus enabling the dis
tributer at the terminal point to com
pete on even terms with the eastern.
or, more properly speaking, middle
west jobber.

points where the combination rate

limiting his zone of distribution or.
rather, zone where the Pacific coast dis

roads propose to put him out of busi-
ness beyond the limits of his own door

First Proposition Fair

In discussing the matter yesterday
Wheeler said:
AS to the first proposition, no ex-
ception can be made thereto. l have
no reason to doubt that the class rates
from St Paul and Chicago to Spokane
were excessive and unreasonable in
and of themselves as found by the
commission. This proposition. as in
dicated, is merely compliance with
the order of the commission.
The second proposition would, to
the average reader. at first glance seem
fair to Pacific coast interests. AS a
matter of fact, it is decidedly unfair
and inequitable. The distributors of
Portland. Seattle and Tacoma have for
years protested against the existing
high local rates from their cities to
Spokane such rates not only being
excessive in themselves. but discrimi-
natory as compared with existing rates
from the Atlantic seaboard and the
middle west to Spokane.
Now the railroads propose to make
the discrimination even more pro-
nounced, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing examples: The existing first
class rate from ST. Paul to Spokane
(and against which rate, in common
with others, our Spokane friends COM
plained) is S.. Conforming to the
commissions order. the railroads pro-
pose to reduce this rate 16, 2-3 per
cent, a specific reduction of so cents.
