MERCHANTS REFUSE. TO
PAY MUNICIPAL TAX
South San Francisco Is Aroused
by Action of City Fathers

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. H.
The trouble Of a newly formed munich
pality in deriving revenues for running
expenses have furnished an opera
bouffe situation in this city. During
the last week nine businessmen of this
city went on a strike and refused to
pay the municipal license tax when
called upon to do so by City Mahshal
Henry Kneese.
Kneese Immediately got busy with a
bundle of complaints, and Ike Glasser
tailor, was the first erring merchant
brought to trial. Glasser was defended
by A. Jacobs, another merchant: III. E..
Styles representing the city. Jacobs
entered plea and argument that his
client was not merchant but a manu-
facturer, and as such, under the city
ordinance, was exempt from taxation
The jury was finally selected out of a
venire of 80.
The jury's disagreement in the case
is taken to mean dissatisfaction with the
present ordinance, which exernpts-.th
large manufactures in the city from
paying municipal tax, and a political
fight on the question is looked for
shortly.

BIG REGISTRATION
AT HIGH SCHOOL
New Polytechnic Department at
Berkeley to Open With Un-
usual Number of Pupils

BERKELEY, Aug. For the first
time in its history the new polytechnic
high school of Berkeley will be in use
tomorrow. with the opening of the fall
term of the public schools. The build
ing has been. in the course of construc-
tion for the last two years, but owing

lays is barely finished at the present
time.

high school will relieve the congestion
found in the old building, where about
1900 pupils were housed last year in
a building intended for 500. The
present registration for the high school
and mechanical courses taught in the
same building has so far amounted to
about 100, or 500 more than last
years registration. About 900 of these
are the last year grammar school grad
yates from this city.
A feature of the polytechnic school
will be the courses IN iron work and
carpentry These will be under the
direction of ]. C. Leonard, superintend-
ent of manual training, and will be
taught in the east wing of the new
school. where forges and shops are in
stalled. sA Z loft for mechanical draw
ing and sheet iron designing will also
be in the manual training wing, where
designing similar to that practiced in
the big machine shops will be taught.
Morris c. James, for the last 10 years
principal Of the high school, will have
charge of the new polytechnic school.

to the directing of this institution, the
board of education has allowed him an
increase in salary from $4,000 to $4,000

HAVE MORE TROUBLES
Petition of Voters Asks Resig-

FSpeciol Dispotch 10 The Call

LARKSPUR, Aug. 1.-The deadlock in
the local town government has resulted
in a movement to form good govern
ment club for the purpose of forcing the
town trustees to meet and elect a men,
Der of the board-to fill the vacancy left
open by the death of William Won
Meyerinck.
Town Trustee J. Woods refuses to
meet with Trustees John Foley and
Frank Craig because he fears that in
making a quorum he will give Foley
and Craig an opportunity to appoint a
man of their own choice, and, on the
other hand, neither Craig nor Foley
will agree upon allowing Woods to
name his candidate for the vacancy.
William Kennedy. another trustee, is
absent from town, but has placed his
resignation in the hands OF Woods.
Complaints are coming in from all
sides, as there is no municipal body to
pass upon bills, make ordinances or
conduct the various other civic business
which is necessary to the life and well
fare of the town.
Trustee Frank Craig says that the
saloon question is at the bottom of the
affair, as he and Foley are against the
granting of another saloon license in
the town and that Woods and his can
didates are in favor of such action A
petition of over 100 names has been pre-
sented to Craig asking him to resign.
