SAUSALITO BANK
MAY SECURE BONDS
Local Institution Enters Only
Unconditional Bid to Sc
cure Securities

SAUSALITO, Jan. 27.-The bids for
the 100000 water bonds issued by Sau
salito to defray the cost of putting in
a municipal water distributing plant
were opened at the meeting of the
board Tuesday evening. There were
five bidders. the highest being con-
ditional offer for the entire issue for
s11O151oO, which makes the premium
more than 10 per cent.
The following firms competed:
James II. Adams & Co., Los Angeles,
s110151; G. G. Blymer of San Fran
cisco, s109.1O0; state board of exam
iners, sos, 400; W. Halsey & Co, $107,
2SS; Bank of Sausalito, $106,350.
The bid made by the bank of Sau-
salito was the only unconditional bid
made. the others being made with the
proviso that the bonds meet with the
approval of their attorneys
At the board meeting G. G. Blymer
stated that his bid should be the only
one considered, and he protested
against the one entered by Adams &
Co, who made the highest bid, on the
grounds that the bid had been filed
six minutes after the appointed time
for the opening of the bids. Trustee
Pistolesi favored the bank of Sausalito,
as it was the only bidder that made
no conditions other than the water con-
tract be signed
AS the trustees fear lawsuits in the
event of accepting a conditional bid,
and this means expensive litigation and
delay, il is probable that the bank of
Sausalito will get the entire issue. not
withstanding that the premium offered
is the lowest IN the lot. The bonds will
not be sold until the contract for water
has been signed by the Marin county
water company and the city officials.

PLANS FIGHT FOR
CHANGES IN LAWS
Foreman of Last Grand Jury
Will Circulate Pamphlet
Showing Conditions

OAKLAND, Jan. 27.-Herman Ben
del, foreman of the grand jury just
discharged after an investigation which
made him master of the details of
county affairs, has prepared an intro
duction to the grand jury report. which
he will publish in pamphlet form. The
report, with the introduction widely
distributed, will be used as a means of
educating the people of the state to the
need of radical change On the county
government act.
The necessity for changes. for which
Bendel will make personal fight at
Sacramento, backed by a state wide
federation of German societies, of
which he is president. are emphasized
in the pamphlet. Bendel says the
changes will result in vast savings to
the tax payers of the state if enacted
by the Legislature.
The first change demanded will be
the abolition of the old system of pur-
chasing county printing. Bendel says
this system permits, the board to es-
tablish an arbitrary price for printing,
no matter how excessive the price
may be. The law should be so amend
ed that the board of supervisors, in
stead of fixing the rate which the
county shall pay for printing supplies
during each year. shall let all print
ing, except advertising. to competitive
bids. This method If put into effect,
would save the county many thousands
of dollars each year in the cost of it's
stationery alone"
In addition to permitting a vicious
schedule of rates, the present system
allows each head of a county depart
ment to designate the firm by whom
his printing shall be done
Mention is made of the result of
the investigation of the useless repairs
to county buildings paid for at exor-
bitant rates. Bendel hoped to have
this work let to bidders as a further
safeguard to the public.
The law which he advocates will al
low the county to pay $4,000 annually
for the employment of experts to as
sist the grand jury instead of the pres
ent allowance of $5 a day.

Blames School System
OAKLAND, Jan. 27.-"The Berkeley
school boys and girls, whose thieving
has startled the community, were vic
Tins of the defective educational sys-
TEN which educates the head and
neglects the heart" said Rev. F. l..
Goodspeed, ID. D.. a Congregational di-
vine, at a meeting of members of the
First Presbyterian church tonight.
We, as parents, are sorry for the
parents of those Berkeley boys and
girls who stole, but we. as parents, are
responsible for the system under which
they grew up" he continued
Modern learning is too closely con-
nected with larceny. Book dealers will
tell you that students from the public
schools will steal the rarest volumes
on their shelves, showing that we edu-
cate the taste of children for pretty
and artistic things and neglect their
hearts The records of the Oakland
free library shows that 700 books were
stolen last year, and I have drawn
three books which had whole chapters
the very meat of the book, ruthlessly
torn out by some discriminating thief
Our children as result of this one
sided training are as old as their
parents at 20 years. Then they turn
cynics and poohpooh everything in life.
Their bloom is gone from their hearts
and from their cheeks when it ought
to be freshest. Their loss is our loss
but the blame is ours alone. We fos-
ter public school system which
neglects the teaching of morality and
common honesty, and these are crown
ing glories of life. The church of the
future will be the church that gets
the children. and since our schools are
one sided the church must come to the
front and supply what the schools fail
to give"
