81 LIMIT MAY BE
RAISED IN CHARTER
Supervisors Consider a Tax
Amendment to Meet Drain
on City Treasury
Public Meeting Will Be Held
and Advice OF Civic Organ
izati0ns Asked

The question of the 81 limit of gen.
eral taxation in the charter was taken
up yesterday by the supervisors spe-
cial committee. Chairman John Kelly
of the finance committee discussed the
situation confronting the municipality
and proposed to set the mark tenta-
lively at $1.25 The members decided
evening. August IL, at which the ad-
vice of the civic and Improvement as
sociations of the city will be invited.
Any charter amendment put forth
will have to be submitted by the super
visors at their first meeting in Septem-
Der to allow sufficient notice for action
at the general election in November
REVIEWS FINANCES
Kelly reviewed yesterday the city's
policy of finance since the fire. Jhe
increase in the pay of the police and
firemen and the special expense put
upon the municipality by the fire made
necessary, he said. the finding of some
means to meet expenditures. The ex-
penses of municipal departments could

Kelly.
Placing the school fund by itself, as
the park fund tax is now levied, and
providing similarly for the fremen's
pension fund were two expedients
which would tend to relieve the pres
sure. If the limit was advanced to
s1.25 Kelly thought the necessity for
the special tax levied each year since
1906 would vanish. $50.
More money for the outside parks
was the plea made to the committee by
representatives of the Mission promo
tion association. OF the present cent
park fund it was pointed out Golden
Gate park now absorbed more than 6
cents.
MAY DOUBLE TERMS
Murdock's proposal that the charter
be amended to double the terms Of the
supervisors and county officials, max
ing them four years, was approved. The
provisions to permit the bonding of
districts in 10 year periods for street
improvements and the creation of as
sessment districts for tunnel construc-
tion and other undertakings were or
dered put over till next week.
1t was recommended to refer to
Registrar Harrington for verif1cation
the petition signed by 21 900 alleged
voters of the city that the conditions
of the clerks in the election commission
and the tax collectors Office should be
improved and salaries raised.
ANOTHER CITY HALL SITE
Another temporary city hall propo-
sition was recommended to the board
yesterday by its building committee.
1t was the offer of the Lincoln realty
company to erect seven story, class A
structure on the lot leased from the
city at Fifth and Jessie streets, just
back of the present Lincoln building in
Market street, to cost s175,000. and of
the Lankershim estate to put up a
similar structure on the adjoining lot
TO cost $3.50, 900, the whole to be leased
to the city for $4,000 monthly for a
term of five years.
The companies offered to take over
the citys present leases and to move
the municipal offices free of cost.

During the eighth inning Of a game
between San Francisco and Oakland.
July al. 1909, Schwartz offered odds OF
81 to 1 that San Francisco would not
score during the inning. The court
declared that as it was shown that
Schwartz made a practice of offering
such bets during the. course. of the
game. it was evident that he was openly
gambling.
Although when arrested he destroyed
the piece of paper on which he had
made a memorandum. the fact that ha
made a note OF the bet taken up BY
John Liebold was evidence that he had
violated that section of the law whicl1
prohibits receiving or recording ~
