Tunnel TAXATION
DISTRICT OUTLINED
Map of Stockton Street Subway
Assessment Section Com-
plete, but Unofficial
Will Be Submitted to Lawyers
for Final Approval Within
Two Days

Assistant City Engineer Harry Con-
nick. who has, with the assistance of
field men, been working for two
street tunnel assessment district. has
about completed his task and within
the next two days will submit it to the
attorneys who are busy on the details
of the proceedings for their approval.
The boundary line of the district will
present one of the most difficult prob
lens to be contended with in the initial
steps toward perfecting the plans for
the Mob hill subway. There are some
1,200 turns and twists in the course of
the survey, and anything from an
eighth of lot to an entire block has
been included.
MAY MAKE CHANGES
1t is probable that some changes may
yet be made in the lines submitted. If
any piece of property has been included
which will not directly benefit from the
project, that lot or piece of ground
will not be embraced in the assessment
district. On the maps compiled by
Connick and his field men not only is
the boundary line of a piece of prop
erty shown but every elevation in the
entire district is also set forth.
With the completion of the engineer
ing detail the final investigation by the
lawyers and the approval of all by the
committee in charge, the entire data
will be filed with the board of super
visors. When the final map of the ter
ritory to be assessed for the work is
accepted it will be made public and
published throughout the tunnel as
sessment territory. Following it's ac-
ceptance, any objections to it's boun-
daries can be made by any property
owner who believes his land will not
be benefited.
COMMITTEE WILL MEET
I'VE have worked long and hard on
the district lines said Connick, land
believe we have not included one single
piece of land that will not be directly
benefited by the tunnel. The map is
not quite completed, but the district
lines have been pretty well decided
1t has been very hard job and very
important one. When the map is hand
ed to the lawyers all the engineering
work will be complete on paper
As soon as Connick's work is done a
meeting of the committee in charge
will be called to consider the next step
in bringing the tunnel to an actual
bore under the Stockton street hill.

DEAD BURGLARS PHOTOS
SENT TO PENITENTIARIEs
Police Expect to Identify Him
in That Manner

The dead burglar who fell a victim
to the bullet from Policeman Maguire's
revolver early Saturday morning has
not yet been identified. AS he was
wearing a pair of trousers given to
convicts on their release from peni-
tentiary, copies of his photograph were
sent yesterday to the penitentiaries in
this and other states in the hope that
identification would follow. Policeman
Mcguire, who was wounded by the
burglar, is considered out of danger,
the bullet not having touched any vital
spot.

.sMystery and Miracle of Crcntion"
Mother earth's favor should be on
the side of the physicists. for in these
repeated discussions with the natural
lists they have usually contended that
she is much younger than the
naturalists will admit. And until now,
when Professor Clarke and DR.. Becker
practically reaffirm the estimate OF
Secretary Walcott, there has always
been such wide disagreement Of doc
tors as we have seen above. AS DR..
Walcott himself puts 1t. che only con-
clusion that can be drawn from these
older estimates as whole 'is that
the earth is very old and that mans
occupation OF 1T is but a days span as
compared with the cons that have
elapsed since the first consolidation of
the rocks with which the geologist is
acquainted"
Each measures the way back to the
beginning, and ther-what? The
bounding precipice is so steep that
none Of them dares creep to the edge
and look down. Lord Kelvin took half
a glance, but returned to tell only what
was not there. Speaking of the "com-
mencement nf life,' he said:
This certainly did not take place by
any action of chemistry or electricity,
or crystalline grouping of molecules
under the influence of force, or by any
possible kind CT fortuitous concourse
of atoms. We must pause face to face
with the mystery and miracle of the
creation Of living creatures"
