that It is neither fair treatment

changes tending to simplify the
the existing statutes. and the ex-
purgation of statutes not vitally
important to existing circnm-

Music

Emilio de Gogorza will sing in re-
cital in simpson auditorium tonight,
appearing in a program of italian,
French, English and Spanish songs.
This singer has been heard here as
co-star with Madame Eames and later
alone. and has never failed to arouse
great interest and pleasure in his
singing.
The Levy Cafe Chantant bill varies
from a prima donna grand opera
singer to the blackface comedians this
week. Ethel Leslie, one of the new
comers on the program and billed as
a favorite English mezzo-soprano, mas
arranged a series of songs well suited
to her style of voice. She presented
"The Song That Reached My Heart,
"Down the Vale" and Yesterday"
each showing her voice to good ad-
vantage.
The Miranda band is a novelty or
ganization and continues to delight
the freuuenters of this popular cafe.
The music by these players is different
from anything heard on these pro
Grams and always excites interest.
Sharp and Turek, blacktace come
dams. gave an excellent presentation
of negro songs.
THE Cosmopolitan trio entered on
the third week here and have grown
to he favorites. Their operate selec-
tions are we'll rendered, the voices
blending well together The baritone
solo. the prologue from "Pagliaccl.

MYERS SAYS CITY
MAY LOSE $4,000
Auditor Cites Figures to Prove
Ample Fund for Steady
Work on AqueduCt

In support Of his statement that
there is sufficient money on hand to
keep a full head of steam on the aque-
duct construction until it is known if
the bond buying syndicate will exer-
else it's option on the aqueduct bonds
City Auditor Myers yesterday sent
four tables Of figures to Mayor Alex
ander.
In one of these tables the auditor
shows that the last proposition of
the syndicate would result in loss to
the city of $4,000 that it will receive
under the terms of the preesnt con-
tract If the syndicate exercises its
option. In his statement to the mayor
the auditor presents four different
bond propositions.
In the first he shows how the work
of building the aqueduct can be prose-
cuted during 1911 without using any
of the sinking fund. The second in
creases the monthly construction by
use of the sinking fund. The third
shows that the recently rejected pro-
posal of the syndicate, while appar-
emily Offering more money, would ac-
tually not give as much as by the use
of the sinking fund. The last is the
plan suggested by the mayor, which
at a loss of from $17,700 to $22,7SO IN
premiums, would allow work to pro-
ceed at a rapid rate without the use
of the sinking fund.
The auditor finds that there is
$1,010,000 in the aqueduct fund In cash
on hand or in sight. If the syndicate
elects to exercise it's option the city
will receive $4,S96,000 from that source
in 1911 OF this amount $850,000 must
be returned to the sinking fund, which,
with the amount on hand now, will
leave a balance of $5,056,000 With
81, ,25S, 900 deducted for siphons there
will be $3,79S,0O available for con-
struction work. On a thirteen-months
basis this would permit an expendi-
ture of $293 154 a month. 1t has been
reported that the siphons can be built
for $750,000, and If this figure Is cor
rect the result will permit an expen-
diture of $311,3S5 a month.
BY using the sinking fund with the
figures for his first proposition Mr..
Myers finds that the aqueduct can
spend $435,500 month on a thirteen
months basis.
In his third proposition Mr.. Myers
shows what might have happened if
the syndicate's last offer had been ac-
cepted.
In the fourth proposition, which was
conceived by the mayor, the figures
show: Advance at once from end of
contract, $1,020,000 for construction
work and $1,25SOO0 as needed for
siphons, which with the money on
hand and the amount to be received
from the syndicate will give a total of
1884, 900. With the siphon money de-
Quoted it allows of an expenditure of
$467, 1854 a month. With the use of the
sinking funds it would permit of a
monthly expense of $609,00O. This
would give a total of 100000 a month
over any other proposition submitted

COUNCIL RESENTS
RAILROADS DELAY
Companies Must Explain Failure
to Resist Injunction or
Lose Franchises

OAKLAND, June AFTER falling for
more than two years to make any effort
to vacate an injunction which had been
served upon them by the California sash
and door company, the San Francisco,
San Jose and Oakland railroad COM
pany and the Western Pacific were
summoned by the city council last
night to show cause why their fran
chises should not be revoked for their
inactivity.
The resolution was introduced by
Councilman Ellsworth, who explained
that the two companies evidently were
unwilling to proceed with the work of
constructing their lines in Wood street
and had deliberately allowed the in
functions against them TO remain un-
disturbed for that reason.
The Oakland gas. light and heat COM
pany submitted bid TO light the city
with electricity for the coming fiscal
year, which, the officials of the COM
pany said, would result in a saving of
more than $4,000 in the annual light
bill of the city. The bill was referred
to the committee of the whole.
The Blake & Bilger company filed an
application for a street railroad fran
chise along Whitmore street from
Broadway to their quarry at Gilbert
street
