Ma.vor Rolph announced that he had tixed March 10 as the
date for the public inspection of the Twin Peaks reservoir, one
of the most important parts of the auxiliary water system for
tire protection. Supervisors Andrew J. Gallagher, (iiannini and
Mauzy were appointed a committee to arrange for a iirograni
which is likely to include a dance on the floor of the reservoir.
To Protect City Employes from "Loan Sharks."
A resolution was introduced setting forth the advisability of
making some arrangement whereby city emplo.ves in cases of
financial emergency may be able to avoid the "loan shark." The
measure provides for the issuing by department heads on the
fifteenth of each month certificates showing the amount of earn-
ings made to date by employes asking for them, and further
requesting banks connected with the San Francisco Clearing
House to make loans, where omditions seem satisfactor.v. on sucli
evidences of money due from the city at interest not to exceed
1 per cent a month. The resolution was referred to the I'ublic
Welfare Committee, which proi)oses to discuss the subject of the
present traffic in city salary warrants.
Gives Formal Votirc of Tacatinri Present Quarters.
A resolution was adopted giving formal notice that on and
after March 1 all official meetings of the Board will be held in
the temporary City Hall in Market street, near Kighth. and
directing the Clerk to move the furniture and records of the
Board between February 20 and >rarch 1.
Supervisors to Inspect Spring Valley Properties.
On motion of Supervisor Vogelsang, chairman of the Public
Utilities Committee, it was decided that all members of the
Board who can do so shall make a trip on >rarch 1, 2 and .'{
to the peninsular and Alameda county properties of the Spring
Valley Water Company, in order that they may obtain an idea
of the nature and value of the holdings of llie cori)oration. The
water company will provide cooks and caterers at various points
along the line of inspection for the benefit of the investigators.
Wilt Inrc-itigate Offer of Lick Baths.
A resolution providing for the acceptance of the offer of the
trustees of the James Lick baths, to turn the property over to the
city on condition that the name '-James Lick" he retained and the
municipality a.ssunie a mortgage of .'ii;«,,«71.12. was laid over for
one week at the request of the Finance Connnittee. The com-
mittee was opposed to the acceptance of the offer until after it
had made an investigation, lest the city !«; called upon to take
over the mortgage, which is now overdue, at a time when the
money couldn't be conveniently provided. The proiM-rty is esti-
mated to be worth $80,000.00.
Positions of Clerks. Etc., Created by Or(tin<tme.
To settle the question of the tenure of office of the assistant
clerks of the Board an ordinance formally creating their posi-
tions, dratted by the City Attorney, was passed to print, this
to be followed, the City Attorney advised, by the adoption later
of a res(duti<m making the appointments.
An ordinance also was passed authorizing the Police Com-
missioners to appoint certain employes of the Police Depart-
ment not included in the police force proper. The employes in
question including twent.v-six patrol drivers, nine hostlci-s, four
telephone operators, three police patrol boat engineers, three
prison matrons, one assistant matron and one cook.
Suit in Condemnation 3fuy not be yeces.iary.
A resolution providing for beginning of a suit to condemn a
sewer right of way through the Sntro property north of the
northerly end of Fort.v-eighth avenue, the purpose being to
liuild thereunder the main outlet for the Parkside and Sunset
District sewer .systems, was laid over for one week. It was
stated that there is a prosiiect that the right of way may be ob-
tained without a suit.
A resolution granting leave of absence to Sealer of Weights and
Measures Johnson and his (iepnties pending an appeal from Judge
Mnrasky's decision that the bureau was illegally created by the
last administration, was laid over for one week. Ma.vor Rolph
said that to grant the leaves of absence would give the em-
ployes, who are now civil service, a 10 jier cent handicap for
"experience" when a civil service examination for the positions
is held and to abolish the office would estop the appeal from the
courts decision as to the legality of the bureau. None of the
employes of the bureau has drawn any salary since appointment,
last November, the Auditor and Treasurer having been enjoined
in the suit which was decided by Judge Murasky.
CITV IX.ST.\LL.S AITO-ORIVE CHEMICAL KXGIXR.
An auto-drive chemical engine, the first to be acquired by
the city, has been installed in the quarters of Engine Company
No. 2, in Bush street, between Kearny street and Grant avenue.
It is expected to prove invaluable as a first aid, as it
easily takes the heavy grades in the district covered by Engine
No. 2, and will hold ordinary fires in check until the arrival of
the horse drawn apparatus. It is the intention of the Fire
Commissioners to install a similar engine in the Mission and
a third one in Richmond district at an early date.

The Park Commissioners, at their meeting last Frlda.v,
granted the request of the Exposition directors that .lohn Mc-
I>aren, superintendent of Golden Gate Park, be permitted to
directly superintend the landscape effects and planting at the
fair site. McLaren will do the work in addition to attending
to his regular duties at the park.

their credentials and were seated as members of the com-
mission.

at the stadium during the Exposition. There will be several
purses of $25,000 offered, with other rewards ranging from
$25,000 downward to $2,000, besides valuable trophies fov
trotters and pacers.
The present track at the stadium is not of standard length

in the country.

ClVIIi SERVICE COJLMISSIONERS AMEND THEIR RILES.
The Civil Service Commissioners have amended the rules
relating to promotions, so that In future three names will be
certified and the appointing body given an opportunity to
make the choice to the end that the best possible service may
be secured for the city. The commissioners believe that the
department having had an opportunity to judge of the re-
spective merits of the employes should be allowed to choose
between them. This rule, however, will not apply to original
appointments, as the Civil Service Commissioners will certify
but one name, as at present.
The Police Commissioners will meet in their new quarters
in the Hall of Justice, Kearny and Washington streets, at 2
o'clock Thursday afternoon, February 29, and consider the fol-
lowing applications for permits:
Hotel and Bar (to romove) — Alfred T. Kendall, from 374 Eddy

move to southwest corner Twenty-fourth and Sanchez streets.

NO MORE NEW STREET LIGHTS VNTII, NEXT JTXV.
Owing to lack of funds the lighting committee of the Su-
pervisors will be unable to install any new street lights until
after the beginning of the new fiscal year in July. The Su-
pervisors regret their inability to increase the lighting service
in several districts that are not adequately lighted at present,
for to grant any new lights would only add to a shortage of
approximately $10,000.00, which will exist at the end of June.
Notices are being prepared for mailing to improvement clubs
and citizens who have i)etitions for lights pending, informing
them of the decision forced on the committee by lack of suf-
ficient funds to grant the relief asked.
STREET CONTRACTORS MIST COXIER TRENCHES.
The Street Committee of the Supervisors has adopted a
resolution calling on the Board of Public Works to provide
in specifications on bids for street work that all trenches and
ditches opened in street roadways shall be covered at night
with planking. This precaution was suggested by an acci-
dent recently on Valencia street.
The expense of covering an entire trench with planks is
expected to encourage i.>rompt work on the part of con-
tractors in filling up the trenches, and to discourage the
practice of leaving long stretches of street roadway open in-
definitely.
TO CONSIDER ISSUING OF EXPOSITION RONDS.
When the finance committee of the Supervisors meets to-
morrow it will take up the matter of the issuing of $5,000,000
bonds to meet the city's contribution toward the Panama-Pa-
cific Exposition. The question as to what shall be done with
the premiums certain to be realized on the bonds when they
are sold will be determined among other important questions.
Supervisor Murphy, a member of the committee, feels that
the premiums should be placed in the redemption fund as the
city promised to give the Exposition but $5,000,000.00 and
consequently has no call on the premiums.
The Arguello Boulevard Improvement Club has recom-
mended the passage of the proposed ordinance to prohibit the
erection of a garage within 150 feet of a church or school
building.
The books of the municipally owned gas works at Richmond,
Va.. showed a profit of approximately $75,000.00 during last year
after allowing for interest, depreciation and all charges in-
cluding taxes, which would lie against the plant if it was
privately owned.
