Change TO AFFECT
LIBRARY TRUSTEES

A revolution in the constitution
and character of the board of pub
lie library trustees is the purpose
of the amendment proposed by the su-
pervisors' special committee on char
ter changes.
Chairman O'Dowd and Supervisors
Loughery and Walsh, in recommendin
the change at yesterdays meeting,
stated that it was not to be taken as
a reflection on the present board. which
includes three of the city's mayors,
past and present They held that a
-perpetuating body in control of
the city's library was un- american.
The committee approved ODowd's
proposal for a new board of seven mem
bers, consisting of the mayor ex officio
and six commissioners, to be chosen by
him for terms of six years each, after
an initial serial appointment provid-
ing for one yearly retirement.
The question will come before the
supervisors Monday.

submission of charter amendments to
permit the Academy of Sciences to build
free museum in Golden Gate park,

nicipal Record for the city's official ad
vertising, doing away with $4,000

suits of a. test conducted several
months ago on. Long island are worth
recalling The test was conducted un-
der well defined conditions in the pres
neers, and it resulted in average re-
suits which may be stated as follows:
Seven passenger touring car at 40 miles

Two horses and carriages at Is miles per
Motorcycle at 10 miles per hour. Sc feet

to make more thorough inspection OF
the tracks and property under their
jurisdiction. The new motor car. looks

Gently participated in a Joint run from

for the event. The situation given
was that a strong army of the enemy
was in advance; that the home army
held the majority of the roads, and
that orders had to be taken from the
Dresden headquarters TO those of the

orders were given out. rendering the

he made his headquarters with the Pio-
neer automobile company, who repre-
sent the Wilcox here. Shields has gone
north, where he will look over that
territory. In speaking of hfs trip to
the coast, Shields said that he was
more than pleased with the outlook for
the commercial truck on this coast. In
Los Angeles, where he closed with one
OF the large dealers of automobiles for
the Wilcox. he found that they have
been quicker to see the advantage to
be derived from the motor driven truck,
consequently there are more trucks now
in use In Los Angeles than in this. city.
But there is greater need of them in
San Francisco on account of the hills
and once they are thoroughly intro
that they will be used almost to the

Low Upkeep of |
Electric Cars |

IOT VeDlClS COm-
latter says: Few people realize how
cheaply an electric can be maintained,
and il 1t were generally known 1 be-
lieve that 10 electrics would be in use
where now there is one. We recently
obtained some very, interesting figures
regarding the cost of upkeep,- and it
is really surprising how chea ply many
of the Baker efectrics are maintained.
In a general way 1T only costs about
l cent per mile to run an electric. An
owner of one of our cars in Chicago,
who has his own charging station, says
that 1t costs him on an average of
about Sc a month for current and re-
pairs. The owner of a Baker in daily
use in Cleveland claims that he ac-
tually saves more in carfare than it
costs him. The cost of keeping an cleo
trio depends largely on the cost Of
current, which varies in. different cities,
but will probably average from about
IS up to $25 a month. When you con-
slider that it would cost from $40 to
$25 a month to keep a horse, you will
readily see that. 1t costs no more to
keep. an electric than it does to keep
q horse, and as a matter of fact, in
many cases, ii costs less. The low cost
OF maintenance is one of the reasons
for the remarkable increase in the de-
mand for electric motor cars

BIG RENAULT CAR
! REACHES the CITY
American Special Model Now on
Exhibition at the Local
Salesroom
By R. r. L'HoMMEDIEu

The big Renault American special
arrived in the city yesterday In the
short demonstration taken on the hills
this 25-S5 horsepower car showed a
world of speed. To Rene J. Marx, Pa
cific coast manager of the Renault
Freres selling branch, who is factory
man, the car was a great surprise. He
has been familiar with the development
of the Renault cars, but this latest pro-
duction was beyond his expectations.
He took the car over the worst hills
in the city yesterday afternoon on the
high. There was not hill that he
tried that was too steep for the top
speed, and what was more surprising
than anything else was that it did not
seem to try the engine. for it worked
as smoothly and quietly as if it had
been running on the level,
The car will be on exhibition at the
salesroom for a few days before it is
turned over to it's owner.
