WESTERN PACIFIC TO BE
ASSIGNED FERRY SLIP
Company to Have Steamers
Running by September 1

At meeting OF the harbor com
missioners Monday communication
was received from Virgil Bogue, chief
engineer of the Western Pacific rail-
road company, announcing that the
Gould line would be ready to operate a
ferry line by September l and asking
for accommodations in the ferry depot.
The secretary of the board was direct
ed to inform Bogue that the Western
Pacific would be assigned to the slip
now used by the creek route ferry I'M
til the construction OF suitable perma-
nent quarters.
The Western Pacific asks to have its
slips in the center of the ferry depot
in view of the fact that there are now
too many ferry slips for safety in
thick weather and that the board ha S
for some time had under consideration
these slips and assigning landings al
other parts of the front for the ferries
displaced, the new railroad probably is
doomed to disappointment. The line
however, will be well taken care OF
and plans have been made for the con-
struction of another ferry depot at the
foot of Mission street, to which it is
the purpose of the board to assign the
Western Pacific. This new depot Will
be connected with the present ferry
house by covered way.
The board also gave its consent to
the Associated contracting company as
Stunning the contract for the construc-
fion Of section S of the seawall. which
was awarded to the American con-
str1ction company.

well we are better apart. I have an
other home, but whether 1 am happy
or not is another subject that need

that the children were well fed and
healthy. He therefore refused TO vary

MAYOR DEFIFD BY
THREE OFFICIALS
Auditor, Treasurer and Tax Col
Iector Refuse to Open
Offices Election Day
Disregard Executives Order and
Declare No Work Will Be
Done Thursday

Three city officials defed the mayor
yesterday by keeping THAR Offices
closed, contrary TO his express instruc--
lions. and served notice they would do
the same thing tomorrow.
Auditor Roster, Treasurer McDouEaId
and Tax Collector Bush viii be called
upon by Mayor Taylor today to explain
their conduct. The ones more immedi-
ately concerned yesterday in the some
what contemptuous disregard OF the
mayors warning were the Immediate
chiefs of Roster and Bush. Assistant
Auditor Methewson and Chief Deputy
Collector lowe. McDougald. who fra
Quents tho treasury rather more steadi-
" than Roster does the adjoining de-
partmsnt, was on hand to superintend
the closing of the office himself. not
leaving 1T to Deputy Perkins Mathew
son. however, had Rosters approval Of
his action. and, he stated, the support
ing opinion OF their attorney.
These Offices will be closed June %
and "A. Bond election days. Legal
holidays"
The above notice, nailed to the outer
door at Montgomery and California
streets. explained to good many peo-
municipal warrants but the mayors
office intimated strongly that the ex-
PLANTATION didn't pass there
NO WARRANT FOR CLOSING
Yesterdays bond issue proceedings
were neither a primary nor a munich
par election in the sense OF the ordi-
nance and the charter" said Mayor
Taylor. and in this view the city at
torney concurs. Last year l called tho
attention of the auditor and the treas
urer to the fact that they had no war
rant for closing their offices the day OF
the bond issue election, but under
stand they have closed again today.
No, / don't care to say what 1 will do
about it now I shall see what the
officials have to say for themselves to-
morrow before acting"
Each one Of the three offices Is a
city Office, amenable to the charter
provision which empowers the mayor
| to suspend the official for willful dere-
| LECTION in duty. Undismayed by any
thing which might happen to them the
officials concerned were yesterday en-
tireIy confident they were fortified and
the mayors position untenable
QUOTES OLD ORDINANCE
Mathewson then quoted an ordinance
OF 1901, which he claimed gave the
auditor the right to close the ONCE on
a bond election day.
| None of the municipal departments
evaded or disobeyed the mandate from
the mayors office that business should
proceed as usual yesterday, and the
| county offices were also open The
Geary road election tomorrow brings
the issue squarely up for settlement.
Last year the mayor contented him
| self with reprimanding the officials for
closing. 1t was intimated at the
mayors office yesterday that he was in
humor this year to take a more decided
step to see that the law as he and City
| Attorney Long interpret 1t is obeyed.
