Resignation of His Honor Mayor James Rolph, Jr.
Thereupon, the following was read by His Honor Mayor Rolph:
Mayor's Office.
San Francisco, Cal., January 3, 1931.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of
San Francisco.
Gentlemen: I hereby submit my resignation as Mayor of the City
and County of San Francisco, to take effect simultaneously with my
inauguration as Governor of California, on January 6, 1931.
It was with deepest emotion that I penned these lines marking my
retirement from the office of Mayor of this City, by which I have been
so often and so signally honored, since to me this resignation repre-
sents a wrenching of old ties, and a relinquishment of duties with
28 SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1931.
which I have grown so familiar that they have become a part of my
daily life.
For twenty years it has been my pleasure and pride to preside as
Mayor of San Francisco.
During the last two decades our City has been singularly free from
industrial quarrels, faction fighting, and political scandal, and I am
supremely happy to say that, in the period of my mayoralty, a spirit
of good will has dominated San Francisco, under which it has grown
in wealth, grandeur, population and iiopularity, and has become a
place of clean repute, holding high its head among the cities of the
nation. There is no city of America better known or loved than San
Francisco. Here people like to come, here they enjoy our life and
hospitality.
Public life, I am pleased to testify, has left fewer scars on me than
it does on most men who have held responsible office continuously for
twenty years. Of course, I have had disappointments in men. No
doubt I, too, at times, have been disappointing to men who thought
I should have done otherwise than I did in this matter or that. But
I al'ow to others the same charitable judgment that I ask for myself;
I give to others the same credit that I think should be given to me,
for an honest, sincere effort to do my duty in all the circumstances of
the situation. The delusion of perfection was never one of my foibles.
I neither expect perfection from others nor claim it for myself.
Looking backward, after the event, we can all see wherein we have
made mistakes. Hindsight gives a clearer vision than foresight. But
all life, all activity in the visible universe, seems to move by a process
of trial and error. Show me the man in public life who has never
made a mistake, and I will show you one who has never done any-
thing constructive and has never made a worthwhile success.
We who have been born in San Francisco, or who have grown up
with this glorious city, feel a peculiar affection for it, an affection,
it seems to me, stronger and more characteristic than that felt by
most Americans elsewhere for their home city. That affection has
always stirred me deeply. To serve San Francisco as its Mayor has
been for me a labor of love and pride. The reflection that my fellow-
citizens trusted me and relied on me has brought me courage and
solace through many, many years of strife and strain. As my dream
of a rebuilt and improved San Francisco gradually came true; as I
saw arise these monumental i)ublic buildings that make San Fran-
cisco one of the show places of the earth; as I saw our marvelous
system of boulevards expand: as I noted a gradual improvement in
the quality of our public service, a sustained quickening of the spirit
of service in all departments; as the years went by and the members
of my administration demonstrated by constant trial their efficiency
and probity, and as my fellow-citizens manifested their confidence and
approval by reelecting me, time after time, I felt grateful that it had
been given to me to have all this happen during my five successive
terms as Mayor of this, the city loved around the world.
As our city grew into metropolitan magnitude, I strove to keep
always in touch with the individual citizen, the small group; to
escape that aloofness from the plain people which seems to be inev-
ita1)le when a city grows very large, and in that effort I think I have
been successful.
Although retiring as Mayor, it has been vouchsafed to me to enter
a field of greater endeavor, for I leave this office to become Governor
of my native State, a position carrying heavy responsibility and offer-
ing great opportunity for public service. It is not within my province
at this time to detail any definition of my precise policies in that
exalted office. These are to be set fortli in another place, and at
another time, but as Governor of California I will give all that I have
of heart and soul and mind to the service of my fellow-citizens, and
T think I have sufficient diligence, intelligence, and business and
SATURDAY. JANUARY :?. liCU. 2It
political experience to meet exigencies and solve problems as they
arise. I think, also, that I know what kind of povernmoiit the people
of Calif(»rnia want. They want efficiency and economy, but they also
want their State government to be permeated by a humane spirit.
They do not want a soulless, bloodless sort of government by card
indexes and statistics, for government deals with human beings, their
lives, liberties and fortunes, and a good government is a government
by men and women who are, first of all, human beings.
So, to my friends and neighbors of my native and beloved city, i
seize this occasion to say farewell as their Mayor. Many of our younu
voters cannot remember a time when I was not Mayor of San Fran-
cisco. I will miss my office under my favorite dome. I will miss the
cheerful greetings that every man, woman and child in this great
city felt free to give me; I will miss my work and my troubles; I will
even miss the criticisms and complaints of some of my friendly but
always frank critics in the Board of Supervisors. But I will not desert
San Francisco entirely. The Governor has an office in the State Build-
ing over the way, and. while my duties will hold me much in Sacra
mento. you will often find me over there, with one eye on the dome of
the City Hall, to be sure that it is still there and that its proud head
has not been lowered by a single inch.
To Angelo J. Possi. my friend and successor in the mayoralty, go
my heartiest congratulations and best wishes. He brings to this office
a wide experience in public affairs, a keen knowledge of the city's prob-
lems, and a fine ambition to be of service to San Francisco, a city
which stands on the threshold of a great destiny. His help has ever
been freely given to me, and I bespeak for him your sincere and
hearty cooperation in the solution of the important problems with
which he must cope.
To the various city officials who have so faithfully performed the
duties of their offices and upheld the fair fame of our city goes my
sincere appreciation.
To the commissions and the heads of departments who constituted
my official family I say farewell with a full heart. Xo head of a city
ever had more loyal, loving and devoted service and allegiance. With-
out their wholehearted support I could have accomplished little. Never
have they failed me. and no greater good fortune could befall me than
to have equal loyalty and allegience from those who will serve under
me as Governor.
And to you, gentlemen of the Board, I extend my sincere thanks.
We have, at times, had honest differences of opinion, but all of us
have labored for a common end. the advancement of San Francisco,
and I leave this chair feeling that all of you wish me well. Think of
me always as one who has no malice in his heart toward any man.
and one who will always be glad to cooperate with you in any endeavor
that makes for a greater and better San Francisco.
I leave San Francisco proud in the consciousness that my old friends
who were with me twenty years ago when I entered the City Hall are
yet my friends and still standing by; and hopeful that the many new
friends who have joined with me throughout the State of California
will be as constant and as well pleased with me in the end as my old
San Francisco friends have proved themselves to be.
Of more importance to me than fortune or public office is the fact
that after I have been Mayor for twenty consecutive years of the
people of San Francisco they feel towards me a personal affection that
has grown stronger and sweeter with the years. That affectionate
regard I appreciate beyond the power of words to express.
I go to the governorship the same plain, simple, human .Jim Rolph
that I have always tried to be. in fair weather or foul, and may God
grant that I win and retain the affection, the confidence and the good
will of my fellow-Californians in the same full measure as it has been
given to me to hold that of my fellow-citizens of San Francisco.
30 SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1931.
And so, with a heart overflowing with gratitude, and yet deeply
touched by this parting, I bid hail and farewell to the people of my
beloved San Francisco.
Respectfully and sincarely,
/^AMES ROLPH, Jr.,
\ Mayor of San Francisco.

Addresses.
Supervisor Toner acted as master of ceremonies following the ad-
dress of Governor-elect Rolph, which was broadcast over a coast-wide
radio hookup, and announced the following speakers, who addressed
the Board, City officials and municipal employees and a crowd that
filled the chamber and overflowed into the corridors.
Supervisor Hayden, as Dean of the Board of Supervisors, in ex-
pressing his felicitations upon the elevation of Mayor Rolph to the
high office of Governor of the State of California, took occasion to
present the Governor-elect with an engrossed copy of the following
resolution, presented by Supervisor Roncovieri at a previous meeting,
making Governor-elect Rolph "Mayor Emeritus" of San Francisco for
life, to-wit:
Resolution No. 33687 (New Series), as follows:

cisco be, and it is hereby created by this Board of Supervisors for

Supervisor Hayden gave full credit to Supervisor Roncovieri for the

He also presented a replica of the resolution on a solid gold plate
SATURDAY, JANUARY 3. 1931. 81
and declared that the Governor-elect would hereafter be a member of
all committees on ofTlclal ceremonial functions.
Supervisor Andriano spoke for the members of the Board in pre-
senting the Govornor-elect a gold and silver replica of the City Hall
dome, supported by the famous Rolph boots. The replica, he said, is
not yet finished, and a design of it was presented instead.
Thereupon, each of the members present was called upon by Super-
visor Toner, master of ceremonies, and added their eulogies and good
wishes to the Governor-elect.
Former Mayor P. H. McCarthy added hig felicitations and congratu-
lations:
John McLaren, veteran superintendent of Golden Gate Park, praised
and congratulated the retiring Mayor.
Judge Walter Perry Johnson spoke for the Superior Court. Pen-
ning Wentworth, City Auditor; Harry I. Mulcrevy, County Clerk;
Lewis F. Byington, past grand president of the Native Sons of the
Golden West and chairman of the Board of Freeholders, were speakers.
"I have knowTi Jim Rolph since boyhood," asserted Matt I. Sulli-
van, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. "We grew up to-
gether in the Mission.
"I do not know of a single act of his in private or in public of
which his family or the people of San F'rancisco should be ashamed,"
said the veteran jurist with much feeling.
He paid a high tribute to the character and integrity of the retiring
Mayor.
Then followed brief talks by Chief of Police William J. Qninn, Fire
Chief Charles H. Brennan. Frank J. Klimm, Dr. William C. Hassler,

Judge William H. Langdon, associate justice of the Supreme Court,

Mayor-elect Rossi said the Board accepted the resignation with re-
luctance and regret. He described Rolph as the "Good-will Governor
of California." He predicted that under Rolph's administration the
State would go forward as a united California.
Austin Sperry, Charles Bulotti and Uda Waldrop provided the mu-
sical features of the program.
Color guards from the Police and Fire Departments added to the
impressiveness of the affair, which came to a sentimental end with
the playing of "Auld Lang Syne" by Phil Sapiro's orchestra.
Inauguration of His Honor Angelo Rossi.
Supervisor Hayden: I move your Honor that next Thursday, Janu-
ary 8, 1931, at 2 p. m., be designated as the inaugural day for the

of the City and County of San Francisco, vice James Rolph, Jr., re-
signed, to hold said office for the remainder of the term for which James

Motion.
Supervisor Hayden suggested that during pending proceedings Super-
visor Andriano be elected to preside.
So ordered.
Opinion of City Attorney.
On motion of Supervisor Hayden, Dion Holm, representing the City
Attorney, was granted the privilege of the floor. He said:
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Supervisors: Heretofore the
opinion of the City Attorney, Mr. O'Toole, was asked as to the proper
procedure in appointing a successor to Mayor, now Governor, James
Rolph, Jr., and he advised you of the methods which you have pursued.
There is no doubt in my mind that the advice given you at that time
was correct, and I believe that the appointment of Mayor Rossi under
the proceedings had heretofore is thoroughly legal. Your Charter pro-
vides that you may select whom you will, irrespective of whether it is
a member of this Board of Supervisors or from whatever walk of life
they may come. The Charter is wholly silent on it.
This matter is brought up before your Board at this time out of an
abundance of caution. The attention of our office was again brought
to the fact of there being certain Eastern decisions questioning the
ability of a Board such as this to appoint a member of the Board to
the position of Mayor. We examined those decisions thoroughly, as
Mr. O'Toole did at the time he first gave his opinion. A representative
of one of our local papers called at our office and informed me that
word had reached him from Sacramento that people there interested
in these proceedings were in doubt as to the legality of the previous
action of this Board in this connection. I reiterate that I believe the
first appointment made was thoroughly legal and those proceedings
correct, and Mayor Rossi, after you have passed this resolution, will
be, if such a thing is possible, twice honored of the City and County
of San Francisco. The Charter gives you absolute power to select
whom you believe proper, and merely out of an abundance of caution,
and because of the fact that we desire to keep our journal in proper
order when forwarding bonds to our New York bond agent, so that
our bonds may be marketable on the New York Exchange, and like-
wise that there may be no question arise over execution of deeds, leases,
and so forth, as I say, that there may be no question, I recommend to
you that this additional proceeding be carried out.
Supervisor Andriano asked if the bond had been duly performed.
DION HOLM: The bond which I now hold in my possession, for
$25,000, has been approved as to form by the City Attorney's office and
awaits only the approval of the Auditor, to whom it will be delivered
here.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: I take great pleasure in introducing the
Auditor of the City and County of San Francisco, Mr. Wentworth.
Thereupon, the bond in question was delivered by Mr. Holm to the
City Auditor.
Clerk to Issue Certificate of Election.
Whereupon, the following was presented by Supervisor Hayden and
adopted:
Resolution No. 33717 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, on the 6th day of January, 1931, James Rolph, Jr., did
THURSDAY. JANUARY S. 1931. 35
resign the office of Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco; and
Whereas, on tlie Sth day of .laniiary. VX',1, tho Hoard of Supervisors
of the said City and County did elect Angelo J. Rossi Mayor of said
City and County, to till the vacancy in the office of Mayor; now, there-
fore, be it

Whereupon. Angelo J. Rossi was duly sworn, by County Clerk Harry
I. Mulcrevy, and took the oath of office as Mayor of the City and
County of San Francisco.

Thereupon, the Clerk handed the following certificate to his Honor,

tify that on the Sth day of January, 1931, in said City and County, at

INAUGURAL MESSAGE OF HIS HONOR ANGELO J. ROSSI.
His Honor Mayor Rossi then read the following address:
To My Colleagues, the Honorable Board of Supervisors, and My Fel-
low Citizens: It is in the spirit of deepest gratitude that I acknowl-
edge the great honor that you have done me in selecting me as the
Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco to take the place of
Honorable James Rolph, Jr., who surrendered his office when called
by the people to assume the high office of Governor of the State of
California. You are the representatives of the people of the City and
County of San Francisco, and our organic law lodges in you the power
to fill a vacancy in the office of Mayor whenever that vacancy should
occur. When you speak upon the subject, you speak for all of the
people of the City. Your voice is their voice, and my hope is that
when I shall cease to be Mayor of San Francisco my every action will
have been such that all the people will give expression to the senti-
ment that you have acted wisely and well and for the best interests
of San Francisco.
No one on assuming this high and lofty position can help but feel a
great personal pride upon the honor which he has attained. This is
particularly true if this honor comes to one who has given many
years of service as a public official to the City which he loves, for then
it is not only an honor, but it is a mark of appreciation of the work
performed in the past. So I say to you, my former colleagues, that
from the very bottom of my heart I do appreciate the great honor you
have done me, and hope and trust that all my actions shall be such
that none of you will ever regret the action which you have taken.
36 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
If my administration is to be a success, if I am to carry out the
hopes and ambitions that today fill my heart for the good of San
Francisco, if 1 am to measure up to the fully responsibility of the
position, and if I am to fulfill the hope and faith which you have
placed in me, I must not only have the active cooperation of eacli and
every one of you, but also the active cooperation of all other officials
and employees of the City and County, and I hope that every action
of mine will be such that I may continue to merit and receive your
support, as well as that of my fellow officials and employees of the City.
It must be obvious that any task is not free from difficulty. My
immediate predecessor set a record which will require constant ef-
fort on my part to equal, but I assure you that I will endeavor to
continue to carry out all constructive policies formulated by him and
bend every effort for the continued upbuilding and progress of San
Francisco, and that at all times during my incumbency in office I will
be the Mayor of all the people.
On this occasion of my initial message to your Board I feel that
there are certain matters which I should advert to specifically.
(a) Our Hetch Hetchy Water Project. No time should be lost in
the completion of the Hetch Hetchy water project. Our Engineering
Department should exert every effort to see that this work progresses
with both haste and economy, to the end that the supply of mountain
water which is so essential to our increasing population and our in-
dustrial and commercial development may be forthcoming to our peo-
ple. Millions have been expended in the construction of this project,
and aside from the great necessity of the water itself we should at
the earliest possible moment begin to derive the resultant revenue
from this water, to the end that the tax burdens borne by the people
in the payment of interest and redemption charges on our Hetch
Hetchy bonds may be lightened. As chief executive it will be my duty
to see that those charged with the construction work on this impor-
tant project permit of no delay, and I ask the earnest cooperation of
this Board in my efforts in this regard and that you provide as needed
the requisite funds that this work may be promptly and economically
completed.
(b) Privately Owned Street Railways. Although the principal fran-
chises under which the Market Street Railway Company and the Cali-
fornia Street Cable Company were operating their car lines in the
City and County of San Francisco had expired, the people of the City
by direct vote saw fit to adopt an amendment to tlie Charter which
provides for a twenty-five year extension of these franchises. Not-
withstanding the extension of these franchises, I believe that it will
be for the interest of all the people of San Francisco that the street
car systems in the City and County of San Francisco be unified and
that no time should be lost in endeavoring to agree with the holders
of the extended franchises upon a price at which their properties may
be obtained, which price must be fair and equitable to the City, and
that the City should as quickly as practical acquire these properties.
It is my judgment that pending the acquisition of these properties an
earnest attempt should be made to negotiate some equitable agree-
ment between the municipally owned lines and those privately owned,
to the end that without loss to the City the public shall continue to
obtain the most efficient and adequate as well as convenient sti'eet car
service. Such an agreement, in which the interests of the City should
be carefully consented and safeguarded, would result in a unified sys-
tem of transportation that would not alone be of the greatest benefit
to our people, but would render the outlying districts available to
rapid access and at the same time subserve the convenience of the
passengers for a fare of 5 cents.
It will be my purpose to make inquiry into the street railway situa-
THrUSDAV. JANUARY S, l!t:U. 37
tion without delay and at a later date report further to your Boar«l
upon the subject.
For the efficient and economical operation of the Municipal liailway
I strongly recommend the adoption of an operatiuK ordinance com-
parable to that under which our Water Department is now success
fully operated, conipelliuj; the submission to this Board annually of a
complete and detailed budget covering all proposed expenditures for
the next ensuing year. In my opinion such an ordinance is necessary
to keep our Municipal Railway free from politics.
With respect to both our Municipal Railway as well as our Water
Department, I believe it proper to state that, while I am in no man-
ner criticizing either department, it will be my purpose and policy
to insist that the manager of each of these utilities is not interfered
with in the proper and circumspect conduct of his department, it be-
ing my belief that he should be held absolutely responsible for its
operation. The creation of additional positions in either of these de-
partments should be carefully scrutinized for the purpose of ascertain-
ing their necessity, to the end that both of these units of our munici-
pal government shall be economically but at the same time efficiently
administered.
I believe that in both of these departments there should be given
to the employees the same latitude for advancements that would exist
if they were privately owned, and that such employees shall be ac-
corded the privilege of advancing themselves in accordance with their
ability and the opportunities available to them. Furthermore, that
when vacancies occur in positions in either of these departments, they
should be filled by appointments made from those lower in rank rather
than by persons unconnected with the service.
(c) Unemployment. Thus far San Francisco has done its full part
relative to the relief of the unemployed within our midst. There is.
however, a limit to which we may go in the appropriation of current
moneys for this purpose. To overcome this obstacle your Board has
submitted to the people the matter of the incurring of a bonded in-
debtedness of two and one-half million dollars for the puri)ose of pro-
viding work for the unemployed on needed public improvements. If
we are to continue the work of caring for the unemployed, the people
must approve this bond issue. It will be my purpose to advocate the
approval of the bonds with the assurance to the people that if the
bonds are voted the City will obtain full value for all money expended
and at the same time relieve the unemployment situation in our City.
If these bonds are approved by the people, none will be sold until it
becomes necessary to provide funds for the contemplated public im-
provements for which the bonds are issued. I recommend the hearty
cooperation of our municipal authorities with our State and national
governments in the commencement and prosecution of public improve-
ments in San Francisco for the purpose of giving employment to the
many thousands of deserving people who are now without available
work.
(d) Consolidation of San Francisco and San Mateo County. For
the past several years gi-oups of citizens from both San Francisco and
San Mateo County have been cooperating for the purpose of bringing
about a consolidation of San Francisco and the County of San Mateo.
I believe that the growth of San Francisco imperatively demands this
consolidation and that it will be for the mutual benefit of both com-
munities that it takes place. As chief executive of the City it is my
intention to cooperate officially in every possible way to effectuate
this consolidation in such a manner that the mutual interests of both
communities will be advanced and protected.
(e) War Memorial and Xeic Federal Building. It is a matter of
great gratification to me to be advised that the War .Memorial Trus-
tees are about to award a contract for the foundations of the War Me-
38 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
morial buildings. I trust that there will be no delay in the comple-
tion of this great project, in order that it may complete the beautifica-
tion of our Civic Center, stand as a memorial to the veterans of our
City, and fill a much-needed want in furnishing headquarters for our
veteran organizations as well as providing a suitable opera house in
San Francisco. The War Memorial Trustees are to be congratulated
on the progress that they have made in this splendid project, and
under their guidance I am certain it will be completed as rapidly as
possible. Every effort should be made to cooperate with the Federal
government relative to the site of the new Federal office building in
the Civic Center, so that the construction of this building may be com-
menced at once and the employment incident to its construction be.
made immediately available to our people.
(f) Commercial Development. The development of San Francisco's
industries depends upon the disposition of capital and those who con-
trol it to locate here. It has recently come to my attention that a
number of large Eastern concerns of nation-wide prominence have
made surveys in San Francisco for the purpose of determining the
various factors which they regard elemental and essential to the policy
of their business. It has been reported to me that some consider that
conditions here are not as attractive as they might be and therefore
have located in other sections of the State.
This is a matter of paramount importance to the City administra-
tion and it will be my effort to invite your cooperation as well as the
cooperation of local civic organizations to induce responsible concerns
to locate here and invest their capital, thereby adding to the wealth
and industrial importance of the City and giving employment to a
large number of people. This matter requires thoughtful considera-
tion, and I commend it to you and such committees as may be em-
powered to deal with it for early action.
(g) Our Schools. San Francisco is noted for the excellence of its
school system and the completeness of its public school buildings. We
should continue the construction of new school buildings as they are
needed for the housing of our school children, but the Board of Edu-
cation in carrying out its program should be mindful of the other
burdens which the taxpayer is bearing and carry out our school pro-
gram with economy where this can be done without the elimination
of efficiency. We are proud of the personnel of our principals, teach-
ers and other employees in the School Department. They are ren-
dering excellent service to San Francisco and to the State of Cali-
fornia, but I believe that in the employment and retention of princi-
pals and teachers special attention should be given to residence in
San Francisco and, qualifications being equal, the emplojTuent of resi-
dents should be preferred to those who come to us from other places.
(h) Our Harbor. The proudest boast of San Francisco is her har-
bor. For many years and at the present time the conduct of this har-
bor has been under the jurisdiction of the State of California. We
are the only municipality within the State, outside of the city of
Eureka, that has not direct control over its harbor. I advise that an
effort be made at the present session of the Legislature either to ob-
tain direct control of our harbor by the City or for the formation of a
harbor district which will provide for joint control of both the San
Francisco and San Mateo harbor front by a joint commission, free from
State control. This will insure the development of our harbor into
San Mateo County. It will be my privilege to cooperate with the
bodies having this matter in hand to obtain such legislation.
(i) Economy. The financial burdens of our government are becom-
ing heavier each year upon our taxpayers. The greatest economy
should be exercised by every department of our municipality to avoid
unnecessary expenditures both in the matter of supplies and in the
matter of hiring of unnecessary employees. It is needless for me to
THURSDAY. JANUARY 8. 1931. 39
advert to the fact that the exi)enaes of municipal government neces-
sarily increase each year, and that the only way that the burden upon
the taxpayer can i)e lightened is by the strictest economy beinR ob-
served in all departments. It will be my purpose not only to urge,
but to insist upon this economy.
(j) liond.s for Construction of County Jail and Other Jmin-oi'evirnts.
During the recent election bonds were approved by the people of San
Francisco for the construction of a new branch County Jail and other
imiirovements. It is my firm conviction that these improvements
should be undertaken and tlie work of construction prosecuted with
dispatch. The buildings thus intended to be constructed are required
for immediate use and their early construction will likewise assist in
giving work to the unemployed.
As matters of importance arise from time to time it will be my pur-
pose to address you concerning them. In the meantime, I again ex-
press to you my sincere thanks and appreciation for placing me in
this high and exalted position and ask your sincere cooperation that
I may fully perform its duties to the satisfaction of yourselves and all
of the people of the City.
I fully realize that to make my administration as Mayor of San
Francisco successful It is essential that I have the whole-hearted sup-
port not only of the members of this Board and other municipal offi-
cials and employees, but also of the public press and the people of San
Francisco. With such support I will be enabled to successfully carry
on the progressive policies of my predecessor as well as those out-
lined by me in this address and those which are to follow.
Motion.
Supervisor Gallagher, seconded by Supervisors Hayden and Shannon,
moved that the foregoing address be spread at length in the Journal.
Upon the completion of the address of his Honor Mayor Rossi, the
members of the Board and representatives of various civic organiza-
tions paid their respects to the new Mayor, congratulating him and
wishing him success.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Mr. Mayor, and the eminent members
of the bar, my fellow City officials, representatives of the various
civic organizations, and my fellow citizens: It has been suggested,
perhaps not wisely, that I might, on behalf of your Board of Super-
visors— and I like to use that term in some small and humble sense —
state the attitude of mind of the Board and the position which those
of us who are asked to speak for it this day ought to occupy in the
matter of your future administration. I think I may say that in the
main you commence your career as Mayor of San Francisco with a
Board of Supervisors as agreeable to your policies, as mindful as it
can be of the great burdens that are upon you, and as receptive as can
be to the influence that you wish to wield upon it, and a desire to go
on with you, without equivocation or reservation, to work out the
iwlicies you have just outlined. It has been my privilege, beginning
with your incumbency which started today, that you are the fifth
Mayor whose inauguration as a City official I have had the pleasure
of witnessing, and yet I dare say, Mr. Mayor, and my fellow citizens,
that this is one inauguration into office that is entirely different. So
entirely different that it is remarkable and more refreshing than any
that we have had. Heretofore every induction of a Mayor into office
has made sad hearts somewhere in this community. Heretofore the
induction of a Mayor has meant the stepping into office of one man
who has been successful and the stepping out of office of one who has
lost the fight, however well made, but on this occasion the gentlemaa
you have succeeded goes to higher office in the State of California,
and you come into office, Mr. Mayor, without the feeling that before
40 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
the day is over a heart may be saddened because of your accession
to the office.
To say that there might not be those, even in the Board, a little
jealous of the present position that you are fortunate enough to oc-
cupy; to say that there are not those, may not be saying the truth.
Who doesn't envy you? Who vi^ouldn't desire to occupy the position
that you occupy now? A very laudable ambition for everybody to
have; but I think you can take office with a feeling that though per-
haps every member of this Board, or nearly every member of this
Board, would have heartily desired to have and occupy the place that
you occupy, now that you have been selected and now that you have
taken up the task, those things are past, and we become, in a sense,
your fellow servants.
I like the picture that is presented by your occupancy of the chair.
I repeat, no headaches, nobody disappointed in the fact that some-
body has to witness the outgoing Mayor while the new one comes in.
I like the picture presented of you sitting there surrounded by the
Police Department on the one side and the Fire Department on the
other, the two protecting arms of government, and alongside of you
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of California and
on the other side of you perhaps the best protection you will ever
have as Mayor, the Honorable Mrs. Rossi (applause), and, of course,
I as sure the last to desert you, no matter what happens — the rest of
us you are not always sure about — ^and then in front of you, Mr.
Mayor, all of your fellow officials and all of your fellow citizens here
in the spirit of wishing you well.
The Mayor who has just left us, and we can say it now, did it with
a smile, and you people coined the phrase of "Saying it with flowers."
I trust that your incumbency of this office may be a flower, too, and
when I say that. I know that you know there will be many a spot in
the garden where, if you don't watch your step, you will stub your
toe. (Laughter.) I know today it is all flowers, but tomorrow comes
the kick; tomorrow comes the fellows who say we should buy the
railroad, and there might be others who say we shouldn't, and so on.
I like the tone, speaking for the Board, as I think I may, I like
the tone of your inaugural message. It was brief, it was to the point,
and yet as one recounts just a few of the subjects, you intend to say
that you hold to the policies of Mayor Rolph. That is your choice; to
that your Board doesn't hold you. I think the Board desires you to
be free. You intend to bring the water from Hetch Hetchy as soon
as possible; you intend to try to settle our problem in connection
Avith the War Memorial, schools, playgrounds, and so forth, a job as
big as any Mayor in the United States of America, if not in the world,
can undertake. I want to especially commend you on the harmonious
tone of your message. I want to commend you now before my fellow
citizens who have not been here all of the time for the splendid man-
ner in which as chairman of the Finance Committee you met the un-
employment problem, for, after all, it was one of the things which
made us feel that if you wanted to be the next Mayor of San Fran-
cisco we had a Mayor with a heart, and God help this City of ours if
ever we feel that there sits in the chair a man who is not only liberal-
minded, but a man who has no heart. This would not be the same
San Francisco. I like the way you tackled the unemployment prob-
lem. I would like your fellow citizens to know, Mr. Rossi, and now
Mayor Rossi, that you were willing to go into the red to the extent
of nearly half a million dollars that food might go into the stomachs
of men and women out of work and women and children who would
suffer. (Applause from the audience.)
I would like to say in passing, Mr. Mayor, gentlemen of the Board
and fellow citizens, that tomorrow at 3:30 the Citizens' Committee
to promote the bond issue to take care of unemployment is meeting
THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931. 41
here, and I wish you could all be here, but, however, I don't want to
speak on that any further now.
Speaking, if I may, as one member of the Board who has been al-
lowed to speak for the other members, we bring to you, sir, in your
inauguration, if we are to be good Supervisors, if we are to be good
citizens, if we are to be good officials, we bring to you, sir, unquali-
fied and unreserved support in your policies for the good of San
Francisco. It will not do to vote for you as Mayor of San Francisco
and then refuse to support your policies. We are trusting that in
your leadership you shall always be right and that there may be no
need for disagreement, and if there are disagreements they may be
short. In short, as one member of the Board — perhaps taking a little
more time than I should — on account of a desire to express, I think,
the attitude of mind of the members of the Board of Supervisors to-
ward our new Mayor, we do wish you success. We are going to help to
make it for you. We know the problems you have taken on, and if we
are good Supervisors we will help you to solve them, and if between us,
between you and us, we can move on to a solution of these problems
peacefully, harmoniously and with full accord with you, I am sure
that the City and County of San Francisco will know it has been
benefited, and I am sure in that policy we will have the full approval
of you people of San Francisco, who, after all, are the real forces, and
after all, you, Mr. Mayor, and we, members of the Board of Super-
visors, desire most to serve and to serve in a sense that they will
approve of.
Thank you very much. (Prolonged applause.)
THE CHAIR: Supervisor Colman, you have the floor.
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: Mr. Mayor, members of the Board, fel-
low citizens:
Mr. Mayor, I should like to say a few words in offering you my con-
gratulations and in telling you of the pride and pleasure I took to-
day and took last week in casting my ballot for you as Mayor of the
City and County of San Francisco. I have had the privilege of serv-
ing -with you during your entire previous term as a Supervisor, and I
recall that the first constructive and splendid piece of legislation that
you, alone and unaided, put through; that was the creation of a Bu-
reau of Supplies. Prior to that time the purchasing of supplies was
in a somewhat chaotic condition, and through your efforts the present
Bureau of Supplies was adopted and established and it has functioned
continuously and successfully under the guidance of the man who re-
ceived the position as its head when the ordinance was passed and
who has since become an important part in San Francisco's official
life, Mr. Leavy.
I listened very attentively to your message and what you had to
say about the Hetch Hetchy project, the San Francisco Water Com-
pany and the Municipal Railways. I listened to it all very care-
fully, and I want to say to you on behalf of my committee that we
will be very happy to have your guidance and advice, and we will do
all in our power to put your ideas into execution.
May I say to Mrs. Rossi that I feel that already she has won the
heart of the people of San Francisco (applause), and I know that
she will occupy the position of first lady of San Francisco with charm
and graciousness and with dignity. (Applause.)
Mr. Mayor, I want to say in conclusion that in every one of your
official acts for the advancement of San Fi-ancisco you will have my
hearty and active support. As you well stated last week when you
addressed the Board and asked for the cooperation of this body, with-
out it you cannot hope to accomplish much. That is absolutely true,
and it is therefore our full duty to get behind you with all our might
in all the measures for the advancement of San Francisco.
42 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
In your desires to carry out the splendid policies of Mayor Rolph
I am in liearty accord, because I have never for a moment forgotten
that I am his appointee and that I owe the start of my political life
to the fact that he some ten years ago appointed me to this oflBce.
Therefore, you vi'ill have the advantage of the splendid ideas that he
has left to you, and in carrying them out you will be strengthened by
your OAvn clear vision, your love of San Francisco, your interest in
San Francisco and your deep knowledge of what San Francisco needs
and wants, and in all of this I pledge you my hearty support. (Ap-
plause,)
THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Andriano, you have the floor.
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: Mr. Mayor, my colleagues of the Board,
public oflBcials, municipal employees, ladies and gentlemen: I agree
with Supervisor Gallagher that you are assuming office under very
favorable circumstances, but, on the other hand, I also believe that
you are assuming office under circumstances that are not quite so
auspicious. You are taking the place of a veteran Mayor who has
just bowed his way out very graciously from the chair which you
now occupy midst a blaze of glory and with the plaudits of the people
of San Francisco ringing in his ears, and it seems to me that anyone
who attempts to take the place and to fill the chair just vacated by
the champion Mayor of all the world has a considerable task before
him. I think, however, that you must find comfort in the fact that
the people of San Francisco are fully aware that you have a grievous,
or rather, a difficult task before you, that of filling the shoes — or I
should say the boots-— of Mayor Rolph, and l^ecause they are aware of
that fact I think that you can count upon their active support, their
good will and their cooperation.
I do not think that the people of San Francisco expect you to imi-
tate Mayor Rolph, because Mayor Rolph is quite inimitable. I think
that the people of San Francisco will expect you to adopt your own
brand of leadership, to shape your own policies, to exercise your own
methods and to use your own judgment. I feel confident that you are
both able and willing to do that. You possess considerable experi-
ence, both of an administrative and a political character, derived
from both private and public life. You possess good reasoning power,
you possess an upright conscience, and you possess an independent
judgment and ability to act upon that judgment. As an instance of
your administrative ability I would like to cite your administration
of the Dante Sanitarium, located in the block bounded by Van Ness
avenue, Polk street, Vallejo street and Broadway. Your administra-
tion as president of that sanitarium, with which I happen to be more
or less familiar, is an excellent example. You took charge of that
institution as its president in 1923 when it was a small sanitarium
with an investment of only some one hundred and fifty thousand dol-
lars and in rather precarious financial condition, and today that insti-
tution— which, by the way, is a nonprofit benevolent institution — under
your fine leadership and splendid administration has become one of
the best administrated hospitals in San Francisco, at least three times
the size that it was when you took it over, and now representing an
investment of upward of one million dollars.
That, to my mind, proves that you do possess executive and adminis-
trative ability.
I have had the privilege, Mr. Mayor, of being numbered among your
friends for a certain number of years. Never did I dream when I
first became your friend that some time I would be sitting on this
Board of Supervisors and that you would preside over it as our Mayor.
Needless to say, the fact that I count myself as your friend enhances
my pride and my satisfaction in seeing you occupying that chair. I
want to extend to you my heartfelt congratulations, my best wishes
and my pledge of earnest support and cooperation.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931. 43
Oue word more. I suppose it would be ungracious of me, being an
American of Italiau origin, if I failed to advert to the fact that the
people of the Italian race of this City are particularly elated and
proud over the fact that you have been elevated to the exalted posi-
tion of Mayor of this City and County, and if I may assume the pre-
rogative of speaking for our fellow citizens of Italian origin, I wish
to pledge to you on their behalf their good will and assure you of
their gratification at your election and to assure you also that you
may always count upon their undivided support. And finally, I must
tell you that they would be quite indifferent if they failed to ade-
quately appreciate the fact that a man with the name of Angelo J.
Rossi, such a poetical sounding name, is the Mayor of a great City
that bears the name of another great Italian saint, St. Francis. (Loud
applause. )
SUPERVISOR HAYDEX: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Board: A
few of the members of the Board have already spoken by way of con-
gratulation and felicitation, and before we come to the asking of other
parties, I would like to ask some of the other members of the Board
be given the privilege of the floor for a few words.
(At this point Supervisor Power arose and was greeted with loud
applause.)
SUPERVISOR POWER: Mr. Mayor, my colleagues of the Board,
fellow citizens: If my health were a little better and I might have
the gift of oratory of some of my colleagues who have preceded me, I
should be very glad to make a speech, but under the circumstances
I do wish to say, sincerely and from the heart, that I extend to you
my congratulations and my best wishes for a very successful adminis-
tration.
I, like my colleagues wiio preceded me, want to commend you on
your very fine and constructive message, and I wish to pledge to you
my whole-hearted support in carrying out whatever policies you lay
out for your endeavors.
I congi-atulate you and I also extend to you and to Mrs. Rossi and
your dear family a sincere wish for a very happy and prosperous New
Year. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR SUHR: Honorable Mayor, members of the Board of
Supervisors, fellow citizens, ladies and gentlemen: I should like tO'
say just a word or two in congratulation at this time. I want to add
my congratulations to those of the others and to assure you of my
support in the future as you have had it in the past, and to wish to
you all possible good luck in your coming administration. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: Mr. Mayor, members of the Board, ladies
and gentlemen: I, too, at this time, Mr. Mayor, wash to take this
opportunity of congratulating you upon your ascension to the highest
position in the gift of the people of San Francisco. It has been my
very great pleasure to serve with you on this Board for one year, my
first year in public office, and I wish to say to you that I feel that
you have at all times displayed a very high type of leadership, and
that it has been my pleasure to work with you. I have at all times
felt that I was able to support fully the policies w'hich you laid down.
That being the case, I feel that you will still have those same policies
for the constructive progress of San FVancisco, and I can assure you
of my whole-hearted support in that direction. I am satisfied that
this will be for the good of both yourself and the City of San Fran-
cisco. I hope and feel that this Board of Supervisors will work har-
moniously with you to the end that those things which you have ex-
pressed will come true, and again wishing to you and Mrs. Rossi a
happy and prosperous New Year, and to yourself a successful adminis-
tration. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR SHANNON: Honorable Mayor, members of the
Board of Supervisors, ladies and gentlemen: Mr. Mayor, in offering
44 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
my congratulations to you and complimenting you upon your message,
I desire to call attention to the fact that you are succeeding a super-
man, and we all trust that you will not endeavor to keep up to the
pace that he has set for years in hours of work and in few hours of
sleep. If I were a believer in reincarnation, I would believe that he is
Samson, the slayer of the Philistines, returned tO' life, because I think
that no man in public office within the gift of the American people
has ever been able to keep up the pace set by the new Governor of
the State of California. We know that Samson slew ten thousand
Philistines with the jawbone of an ass, but in Governor Rolph's rein-
carnated life he brought to life about one million voters with a smile.
(Laughter.)
You come to this Board, Mr. Mayor, with a wealth of experience
previous to your membership on this Board, a man very active in
civic affairs. Then you had five years' experience on the Board, so
that you come into the office with a full knowledge of the things that
you will have to face, and the members of the Board w^ill be delighted
to assist you in all of the policies that you have announced and all of
the problems that you will have to face. We know that you will do
your full 'duty according to your light and your conscience, and
while we do not expect this City to be known as the Paris of
America, we trust that in consulting with your executives, and par-
ticularly those in charge of the Police Department, you will realize
that the people of San Francisco want, as fully as possible, the liberty
for enjoyment that a majority of the people of this City desire, so
that when the stranger is here within our gates and whem he returns
to his home and friends he may truly say "San Francisco is the City
that knows how."
To you and Mrs. Rossi 1 wish every success, and I assure you of
my full cooperation, every success that your fondest hopes anticipate.
(Applause.)
SUPERVISOR STANTON: Honorable Mayor of the City of San
Francisco, members of the Board of Supervisors, my fellow citizens:
Mr. Mayor, I too want to add my words of congratulation on your
becoming the Mayor of the City of San Francisco.
I feel greatly responsible for the position which you hold with the
people of San Francisco, and I also feel satisfied that after a year of
service, which is not very long, that we will be able to go out to the
people of San Francisco and again return you to this office. (Loud
applause.)
I know that your task if not an easy one; you have but one year
before you, when you again face the people of San Francisco for elec-
tion, and, as one of the preceding Supervisors said, there are always
many who are willing to fill the shoes of the Mayor of a City such as
this.
Therefore it behooves you to be up on your toes and to give to San
Francisco such a Mayor that no one will dare attempt to displace you.
Personally, I feel that you are eminently qualified to occupy the
position of Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco, having
started from the bottom and worked to the top; having started from
the bottom in business and worked to the position of being a success-
ful business man, the same as you have in public life, and therefore
knowing both sides of the situation, I feel confident that labor will
be properly treated and capital likewise. I feel, Mr. Mayor, that you
will be a wonderful person to deal with both labor and capital in a
manner creditable to yourself and to the City of San Francisco. You
have already shown that you have a heart, you have already shown
that your heart is with those in need, and I know that you will con-
tinue so to do. I know that you will do all you can to aid and com-
fort those who have been in a way unfortunate and depressed. Much
has to be done, not only in San Francisco, but throughout the length
THURSDAY. JANUARY 8. 1931. 45
and breadth of the country. When you stop to tliink that in a land
of plenty there is so much want and misery, where in a land where
there are continuous cries of overproduction, and where warehouses
are bursting their sides with food products, the people are still crying
for work. 1 am satisfied that you in your small way as Mayor of the
City of San Francisco will do all in your power to aid in solving this
great problem.
There are many big problems before you, Mr. Mayor, and your pro-
.gram as laid out is a wonderful one, and if you are able to commence
them, Mr. Mayor, and to put them into execution, and if you can get
fairly along with them, you will have done a wonderful thing for San
Francisco.
I too also feel that as the Mayor of San Francisco you are put upon
your own legs, and put there to put over for San Francisco the best
government that you know how, and I as one member of this Board
feel that I speak for the rest of the Board of Supervisors when I say
that we are whole-heartedly behind you, and I hope that God will
give you the strength and courage to carry out the things you have
started, and that you will do them so well that at the end of this one
year we will be able to reelect you for another term. (Loud applause.)
SUPEHVISOR SPAULDING: Honorable Mayor, my colleagues on
the Board, ladies and gentlemen: Mayor Rossi, I likewise wish to
congratulate you upon this your inauguration to the office of Mayor
of the City and County of San Francisco.
It is needless for me to go on talking, Mr. Mayor, because 1 have
supported you from the time you came on this Board, and 1 supported
and gave you my vote for Mayor because I knew your policies were
sound, and I will continue to support you and the policies laid down
by you as long as 1 am a member of the Board and you are the Mayor
of the Citv and County of San Francisco. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR ROXCOVIERI: Mr. Mayor. Mrs. Rossi, members of
the Board, ladies and gentlemen: I know, Mr. Mayor, that you have
no illusions concerning the importance of the task that lies before you.
1 am certain that through your experience you realize what lies before
you. Therefore, knowing, as I am sure you do, that no administration
can possibly be a success by itself alone. I pledge you my support and
my heartiest cooperation in all things that will make for the better-
ment of conditions in San Francisco. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR McGOVERN: Mr. Mayor, members of the Board of
Supervisors, ladies and gentlemen: In offering you that cooperation
that is apparently your desire in your message to this Board, let me
say to you just this— this applies to your wife, too, as we naturally
all know that whatever the problems of the Mayor and whatever the
concern of the Mayor are also the concern of his wife — let me say to
you this. ~Mv. Mayor, we have had experience of your ability and meth-
ods in the handling of your work on this Board, and while we know
that you are a different type than the Mayor we have just lost, never-
theless, knowing your straight-line methods of doing business, I look
forward expecting that you will do your full duty as Mayor just as
successfully as you have as chairman of the Finance Committee of
this Board. I am sure, Mr. Mayor, with the amount of confidence
which the people of San Francisco have in you. all you have to do, Mr.
Mayor, is to follow on just as you have done as chairman of the Fi-
nance Committee, and I can assure you that if you do your possibilities
are unlimited. That is my best wish for you for the next year, and I
feel sure that it will be realized, and I also assure you of my whole-
hearted support. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: Mr. Mayor, Mrs. Rossi, public officials,
my colleagues on the Board, ladies and gentlemen: Mr. Mayor, I
want to extend to you my sincere congratulations, and I desire to recall
the first occasion wiien I had the opportunity to become acquainted
with you and to know you. I can recall before you became a public
servant of our City and County. At that time you were actively en-
46 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
gaged, together with the dean of the Board, as a memher of the prin-
cipal committee of the Native Sons and Native Daughters, the com-
mittee for the raising of funds for the care of the homeless children
of our City, and I remember your excellent work on that committee.
I can also recall, Mr. Mayor, that you were active in a number of
organizations of our City, and I am happy indeed to say to you that
the representatives of labor and that the representatives of capital of
our City were united for you and for your appointment as the Mayor
of our City and County.
I know that you stand for the earliest completion of the Hetch
Hetchy Water Project, and I know that you stand for bringing that
water to our homes and to our factories, so that all of the people of
our City may have cheaper water, and ample water; I know that you
stand for the early completion of our Aquatic Park, and the Yacht Har-
bor, and also for the comi)letion at the earliest possible moment of the
reclamation of our tide lands, so that we may have more factory sites,
particularly in the Islais Creek district. You have mentioned a num-
ber of the problems which the people of this City are exceedingly in-
terested in, and I am happy indeed and proud to be a member of this
Board of Supervisors which appointed you as Mayor of this City and
County. I know, listening to your message, which was not only to the
members of this Board but also to the citizens of San Francisco, that
after a term of one year the citizens of our City will reelect you for
the four-year term. I feel that they have confidence that you will
bring in constructive and progressive legislation for this Board to
adopt.
On account of the time I desire to be as brief as possible, and I will
close by extending to you my heartiest congratulations upon your
appointment and assuring you of my full support for all legislation
which you may bring in for the improvement of our City and the
betterment of the conditions for our laboring people, which will bring
progress to the merchants of our City. I again desire to extend my
sincere best wishes and congratulations to yourself and Mrs. Rossi
and your family.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Honorable Mayor, my colleagues on the
Board of Supervisors, city officials, ladies and gentlemen: Mr. Mayor,
before I call on your friends and representatives from various organ-
izations here today I would just like to say a few brief words as one
of your prior colleagues on the Board and as one of your dearest
friends. Indeed, it is very hard for me to speak here today and praise
one who is as close to me as a brother, because I feel as though I
know him so well, so intimately, more so than any man in this room.
However, as a dear friend to me, it is indeed very pleasing, very grati-
fying, to hear my colleagues here today congratulate and applaud the
fine qualities of our new Mayor in the person of Angelo J. Rossi. They
reflect the sentiments that I long have held; they reflect the apprecia-
tion of ability that I have always known, and, after this constructive
message which has been delivered here today, I think we are all satis-
fied that he is going to bring about a rehabilitation of those things
which mean so much to our City. We join with him and offer him our
united cooperation.
Mr. Mayor, I intended to tell you how much I wish you to succeed;
you know how ardently I have joined you in all your aspirations, and
how proudly I join with my colleagues in wishing you the success you
so rightly deserve.
I am very glad indeed to hear a statement coming from one so
distinguished as a representative of labor as Supervisor William Stan-
ton, who feels in his confidence in you and in our joint confidence in
you that after one year of your administration we will come together
again and feel just as proud a year hence as we do today; that we will
then come before the people of San Francisco and, on the successful
results of your administration, again present you to the people, and
we hope that you will come back with the endorsement of the people of
San Francisco, and that the electorate, by a vote that will be satis-
THURSDAY. JANUARY 8, 1931. 47
factory and by a substantial majority, will place you in this position
which you now occupy for four years more. Those are my wishes,
Mr. Mayor. (Applause.)
Mr. Mayor and my colleagues on the Board, as I glance around the
room I see hundreds of friends of yours, each one of whom would like
to speak and say a few words from their hearts, just as the members
of the Board have spoken, but we are not going to burden you today
with a long program. However, I feel that a few representatives from
the business organizations, a few from the fraternal, and a few from
the labor organizations should be given an opportunity to say a few
words. I am going to ask as the first speaker that we hear a few words
from Mr. L. S. Cutler, president of the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce.
MR. CUTLER: Honorable Mayor, members of the Board of Super-
visors, ladies and gentlemen: Mr. Mayor, the business life of San
Francisco delights in the honor which has come to you, and it wel-
comes you to the leadership of this great City. It commends to you
no special interest, because, if our City is to be great, special interests,
either of the rich* or of the poor, must not thrive.
You know San Francisco and San Francisco knows you. We are
proud of the sincerity and euthusiasm with which you have entered
into the organized business life of San Francisco, and we are proud of
the respect and friendships which you have gained in the business life
of San Francisco. We are grateful to you and commend you for the
sanity and balance with which you have participated in the City
government of San Francisco.
It is entirely fitting that you should be our leader; you have earned
it, as you have faced successfully the great tasks and great resporrsi-
bilities of business life, and you face a great task and great responsi-
bilities now. San Francisco wants to help you in that task, and wants
to respond as though it were in partnership with you, and we ask
that you remind us when we are neglectful of our part and our respon-
sibility, because we also want to help San Francisco.
We wish you more than good luck; we wish you godspeed on the
road ahead. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Now, I should like to present Mr. Frank
C. MacDonald, president of the State Building Trades Council of Cali-
fornia.
MR. MacDONALD: Mr. Mayor, Mrs. Rossi, "first lady" of San FYan-
cisco, honorable members of the Board of Supervisors, ladies and gen-
tlemen: On this very happy, important historical occasion it is indeed
with a great sense of gratification that I am able to come here as the
representative of the men and women toilers of San Francisco and con-
vey to you their wishes for success.
We are conscious of the fact that you are seriously handicapped by
being the successor in leadership in this City to a genius that capti-
vated with smiles; we are conscious of the fact that you assume the
grave responsibility of Mayor of this City and County at a time when,
apparently, industry and stocks have reached bottom. Fortunately, the
indications are that we have reached the period or the point of the
upswing of finance, of labor and of industry. There will be a serious
intervening point.
You, Mr. Mayor, and your colleagues on the Board of Supervisors,
have won the undying gratitude and have insured yourselves of the
unqualified support of the men and women of toil of this City by your
act in putting the City's finances into the red that men and women
and children might not hunger. You have sponsored a bond issue that
must be carried by an overwhelming vote of the people of San Fran-
cisco. I am sure that the learned representatives of the judiciary who
meet with you here today will agree that there is nothing in the law
of the United States, of our State or of our City that contemplates that
men, women and children should ever go hungry. You have followed
the task of safety and justice in dealing with this matter.
48 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
You have mentioned a program of construction. I am privileged to
.represent the men and women who will carry out those construction
programs. Each day, upon your major construction projects, of Hetch
Hetchy and so on, our men go out prepared to sacrifice limb and life
to insure the consummation of those projects. The same loyalty, the
same service that has heretofore been given through the Mayor and
the administrative forces of San Francisco to San Francisco by the
men of labor will be extended to you without reservation or qualifica-
tion.
I am indeed pleased to have the honor of conveying to you this
message that the men of labor of San Francisco will unitedly, loyally
and unswervingly carry out those projects that mean the success of
your leadership as Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco.
(Loud applause.)
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Mayor, the women
of the City of San Francisco play a very important part in the civic
and commercial life of our City, and naturally we should like to hear
from them. They have a representative here in Mrs. Jessie M. White-
head, president of the City and County Federation of. Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Whitehead.
MRS. WHITEHEAD: Mr. Rossi, Mr. Hayden, members of the Board,
and ladies and gentlemen: It is a pleasure to express to you the grati-
fication of the clubwomen of San Francisco over your election to the
Mayor's office. Personally I have known your splendid wife and your
lovely daughters for many years. I am familiar with the wholesome
family life in your home, and I know the high type of men and women
who frequent that home and enjoy its lavish hospitality, and with this
knowledge I can say to the clubwomen of San Francisco that a man
that is the htad of such a household is worthy to be the head of our
City; a man with a background of such a home, such a family and
such friends will give us a clean and upright administration.
Your Honor and Mrs. Rossi, on behalf of the City and County Fed-
eration of Women's Clubs, I congratulate you and wish you success.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Mr. Mayor, members of the Board of
Supervisors: On this happy occasion we are all honored by the pres-
ence of the honorable Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State
of California, William H. Waste, whom I will now ask for a few
words.
CHIEF JUSTICE WASTE: Mr. Hayden, Honorable Mayor Rossi,
Mrs. Rossi, members of the Board of Supervisors, and ladies and gentle-
men: One of the contentions at the present time agitating the bench
and bar of this State is the length of judicial decisions. In this case
I shall adhere to the contention that they should be as short as possible.
It is a delight, of course, for me, as a resident of the neighboring
East Bay district, to come in that capacity as a citizen of this great
metropolitan area and convey my personal greetings to my long-time
friend, the present Mayor of this CMty.
Now, I did all that I possibly could to hurry forward this time. I
went to Sacramento to make the resignation of his Honor Mayor Rolph
effective, so that Mr. Rossi might be elevated to the position of Mayor,
and when I got my opportunity I lost no time in making that possible.
I have been delighted, of course, to hear all of the fine things said
about the new Mayor of San Francisco, and anything that I could say,
even by taking up a great deal of your time, would not convince any-
body not already convinced that the City is not to be congratulated
on the resignation of our former Mayor and his appointment as Gov-
ernor of the State, and making it possible for Supervisor Angelo J.
Rossi and his wife to be the first lady and the first gentleman of this
City.
Of course, Mayor Rossi has heard a great deal this afternoon about
himself and Mrs. Rossi, but he will only get the full import of it all
in the secrecy of his own home, I am sure of that. Regarding that,
I think I might repeat a little incident which occurred to me, rather
humorous, to which I referred once before. I was first appointed to
THURSDAY. JANUARY 8, 1931. 49
the bench just twenty-six years ago. and when I received my original
commission as a member of the judiciary I was very proud, and in-
vited my wife and a number of friends to attend the ceremony. The
induction into office was held in the old courthouse in Oakland, and my
wife and family came and slipped into the courtroom and sat in and
absorbed the entire ceremonies. There were many references made to
the new judge and 1 received the congratulations of friends on tiie
bench and bar. I admit I began to feel very happy and very proud
of myself, and thought it was all coming off just splendidly, but that
evening at dinner my wife said to me, "That was quite a ceremony
this afternoon, but who were they talking about?" (Laughter.) That
was my experience twenty-six years ago, and it is a hard one to realize
at the time.
Mayor Rossi said to me in the privacy of his office, when he insisted
that I cnme over and sit by him today, that he was deeply touched,
and wondered just how he was going to get along, and that he would
be very glad when this was all over. Of course he will be, and we are
very glad of this, and we are glad to have had the pleasure I am sure
we have had in this opportunity today of expressing our loyalty and
paying our respects to him. As Mayor of this great City the judiciary
system of the State at this time can hardly do more than express, and
that very briefly, its decision in the matter, because you know, until
some disgruntled taxpayer or citizen comes along and raises the ques-
tion, w^e do not have an opportunity to go into any of these matters at
very great length.
However, so far as the proceedings this afternoon may be regarded
as judicial proceedings, may I say, and this will be very brief, that
thus far the judgment of the Board of Supervisors of the City and
County of San Francisco is approved and confirmed. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Mr. Mayor, I see present representatives
from an organiaztion of w-hich you are a past president, that is, the
Down Town Association, and I wish next to present Mr. Marshall Hale,
president of the Down Town Association, and ask him for a few words.
MR. HALE: Mr. Hayden, His Honor the Mayor and Mrs. Rossi,
Chief Justice Waste, the Honorable Board of Supervisors and fellow
citizens: The most impressive part of this ceremony today is the
laudation of yourself and the promises by the members of the Board
of Supervisors to back up your administration. I think with the
spirit that has been shown here today that there will be very little
use for your calling upon improvement clubs, the Downtown Associa-
tion, and so on, because you' will be doing it all. If thin.gs, however,
do not run as smoothly during all of that time, and in the same man-
ner in which they start, you will always find loyal support from us
in the splendid things that you stand for the benefit and for the
upbuilding of our fair City.
San Francisco has gone through many strifes; we have just finished
with a Mayor who for 19 years has brought this City from its ashes
to the imperial city of the Pacific Coast. Those events have come
and have passed, and it was last Saturday that we bid good-bye to
Honorable James Rolph, Jr., when he was promoted to become the
Governor of this State of California.
I want to say to you people in San Francisco that you can well feel
proud of the man whom you have now selected to be your Mayor. He
represented you and the City of San Francisco at the inaugural ser-
vices for Mayor Rolph with credit and with distinction, and we can
count upon his continuing to represent you in that manner.
It is useless to tell you people what has been done in the past with
these splendid officers in the different departments of the City and
County of San Francisco. I see here one who has done so much to
bring the Police Department to where it is, and that is Dan O'Brien,
and we now have Chief Quinn to carry on, and one who has gone and
who rendered a loyal and faithful service to the City and Countv of
50 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8. 1931.
San Francisco was Tom Murphy, who was Chief of the Fire Depart-
ment and which is today represented by Chief Brennan as one of the
guards of honor.
Those things are in the past, but we have something to do in the
future. San Francisco is rich in her heritage, and we look forward
to the wonderful development of Hetch Hetchy, the Golden Gate
bridge, the schools, the playgrounds, the railroads, and all of those
other improvements. As Supervisor Gallagher so well said, there is
no city in the world that has more important things to do than San
Francisco, and at the head and leading us in those plans for the de-
velopment of a greater and bigger and grander San Francisco is
Angelo J. Rossi, whom we have known for so many years and whom
we of the Downtown Association have worked with. We know his
sterling worth. One of the most important essentials of a man's char-
acter is honesty, integrity and ability, and your Mayor at the present
time has all of those, and I want to bespeak for you and for Mrs. Rossi
a most successful and happy year and for your administration, and
may you guide the destinies of this City in a manner not only you
will be proud of, but in a manner such that every citizen of San Fran-
cisco will look up to the man that leads us onward and upward. (Ap-
plause.)
SUPERVSOR HAYDEN: I should now like to present to you Mrs.
Stone, the president of the San Francisco Center, League of Women
Voters. Mrs. Stone.
MRS. STONE: Mr. Hayden, Mayor Rossi, ladies and gentlemen:
The San Francisco Center, League of Women Voters, feels it a very
great privilege to be allowed to express to you our sincere congratula-
tions, Mayor Rossi, because of your record as Chairman of the Finance
Committee and because you have been selected by your colleagues to
the highest office in the City and County of San Francisco. We look
forw^ard with great pleasure to working with you for the best inter-
ests of our City, and hope for you every success. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: We would now like to hear from Mr.
Roy H. Baker, president of the San Francisco Labor Council.
MR. BAKER: Mayor Rossi, Honorable Board of Supervisors, ladies
and gentlemen: Speaking for organized labor, the office of Mayor is
very important, and in Mayor Rossi we feel there is a man going into
that office who will give the very best that is in him. We feel that he
is honest, we feel that he has the experience, and we feel that in him
we have a man that will do the very best possible for both capital
and labor.
We realize that at the present time there is hunger on our streets,
and we also realize that there is food in abundance in this country.
I listened quite attentively to the message of his Honor Mayor Rossi
today, and it impressed me very deeply. You spoke of many of the
things I am interested in and many of the things which I hope will
be worked out successfully.
This City occupies a very unique position. I am quite familiar with
the early history of our City and State and the struggle of California
in the early days when it was sought to unite California with the
south, and at that time the struggle practically centered in this City.
Our City of San Ftancisco is a city that wherever you go is looked
upon by the man who works as one city where the man who works in
the dirt is considered just as good as the man with his millions, and
that is what must appeal to those progressive citizens who want to
see a brotherhood of man in the future. If we had to we could feed
two-thirds of the population of the world in the center of this country.
What is our future going to be? To me this City will be the greatest
of the great cities the world has ever seen, and with our present Mayor
I feel satisfied that we are starting out to lay the future foundation,
and the future will not rest altogether on property; you will see the
THURSDAY. JANUARY 8, 1931. 51
world over that it will rest not only on property, bnt on the people;
the people are beginning to realize that we mnst do away with con-
sideration of property alone and consider the person as well as
property.
I want to assnre you, Mr. Rossi, now Mayor Rossi, that organized
labor will at all times in carrying out these many things you spoke
about in your message give you full cooperation. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Mr. Mayor, I have just a few si)eakers
left, after which there will be a presentation made. As I have al-
ready indicated, we would like very much to hear from various ones in
this vast audience, which, of course, is made up of your friends, but
that is an impossible task, so I will have to ask those who cannot be
given an opportunity to personally speak to bear with us and to appre-
ciate the length of the program thus far.
The next gentlemen I am going to present to you is Mr. .John Newell,
grand president of the Native Sons of the Golden West. (Applause.)
MR. NEWELL: Brother Angelo Rossi, the Honorable Mayor of the
City and County of San Francisco, Mrs. Rossi, our First Lady, and
ladies and gentlemen: It is indeed a pleasure to have the opportu-
nity of being present on this occasion to express to your Honorable
Mayor the appreciation of every member of our organization for the
wonderful service that he has given in carrying out the great princi-
ples of fraternity and the principle which we represent of friendship,
loyalty and charity.
I have just witnessed that wonderful demonstration in Sacramento,
that great tribute that was paid to the former Mayor of San Fran-
cisco, now our Governor of this great State, the State of his birth,
James Rolph, Jr., and I feel from that great experience, where that
man has advanced step by step to the most exalted position in the
gift of the people of this great State of ours, that your Mayor of San
Francisco by his great loyalty to his State will follow in his footsteps
and make such a Mayor as your former Mayor of San Francisco, and,
as I may dare say, still maintain the same height of that dome that
sits over the City Hall of your great City.
Coming from Los Angeles, and as grand president, representing our
fraternity, I want to express to you our great appreciation that you
have been elected as Mayor of the City of San FVancisco, and to offer
our congratulations, and we hope and know that it will be a wonder-
ful success, and we also want to express to you and to Mrs. Rossi the
hope for a long life of happiness and prosperity. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: I know that an invitation was extended
to his Excellency James Rolph, Jr., now Governor of this great and
glorious State of ours, and I also know that by reason of the great
pressure of public business he was unable to be present and join you
in this inauguration program, bnt I understand that you have a wire
from him, which the Clerk will please read at this time.
(Thereupon the Clerk of the Board read the following telegram: )
Sacramento, Calif., January 8, 1931.
Honorable Angelo J. Rossi, Mayor of San Francisco, City Hall.
Dear Mayor Rossi: I extend to you my sincere congratulations on
your appointment to succeed me as Mayor of San Francisco and I
wish you unbounded success. This is made certain because of your
knowledge and years of experience in the operation of San Fran-
cisco's affairs. I send to you and Mrs. Rossi very best wishes and
good luck.
Sincerely,
JAMES ROLPH, JR.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: And now, Mr. Mayor, I should like to
have Mr. Edward Rainey, the former Secretary to his Honor the Gov-
ernor, James Rolph, Jr., say a few words:
52 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
EDWARD RAINEY: My dear Mayor, my dear neighbor, and my
dear friend Mayor Rossi, and also my dear friend Mrs. Rossi: It is
a wonderful pleasure to stand here in this chamber today, where you
have served so well as a Supervisor and where his Honor Mayor Rolph
previously sat, and to give you the very cordial congratulations of the
Governor of the State of California, as Mayor.
I agree with our Honorable Chief Justice that the time is very lim-
ited, and also I would state that I have very little to say, sir, except
this, that you have been elected to what, in my opinion, is one of the
three great offices in the United States below the ofRce of President.
My prejudice in his favor will probably cause me to put the Governor
of the State of California first, then comes the Mayor of San Fran-
cisco and after that the Mayor of the city of New York.
I know from your experience and from my knowledge of your char-
acter that you will be a very great successor to the greatest Mayor
of all, who has just been inaugurated as Governor of this State, and
I have heard him express personally his very high opinion of you and
his hope for your success, and I know the sincerity with which that
expression was made.
So far as I am personally concerned, I am not going to make myself
offensive around your office trying to tell you how we did things, but
if my experience at any time will be of any value to you, I can only
say that my new office telephone number will be Douglas 7520, and
should you by chance be at your desk at any time at night and I can
be of service to you, my home telephone is Fillmore 0723.
May I say in closing that I join with all those who have wished
you well today, and particularly with Supervisor Power, in wishing
you and Mrs. Rossi a very happy year. (Applause.)
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: There is another very important women's
civic organization representatives here today, the Women's Civic Cen-
ter, and I would like to call upon Mrs. Mary P. McShane.
MRS. McSHANE: Honorable Mayor, Mr. Hayden, members of the
Board of Supervisors: It gives me very great pleasure to be here
and to congratulate you, Mr. Rossi, as Mayor of our beautiful City of
San Francisco, and I assure you that we are only too glad to assist
you in every way we can. The Women's Civic Center will do all it
can, and we wish to congratulate you again and wish you every suc-
cess during your term of office.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Honorable Mayor, with your permission,
so far as the time of the program is concerned, we will ask now to
close the ceremony with a presentation by Mrs. Edna Erne of the
Native Daughters of the Golden West.
MRS. ERNE: Mr. Mayor and Mrs. Rossi: As president of the
Golden Empire Association, Native Daughters of the Golden West, I
wish to express to you for them our appreciation for all of the favors
you have done for us, and to state to you that we were very happy
indeed when you were selected to become the Mayor of our great and
beautiful City of San Francisco.
It is now my privilege and pleasure to present to you these two
iflags. Tliis little bear carries the flag which is the message of our as-
sociation, and this other little bear carries the flag of our nation. This
one bears the flag of our State and bears the message of loyalty, friend-
ship, charity and patience.
May these little bears ever be an inspiration to you when your work
becomes too hard and too weighty. ' Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Canepa brings me a
message from Mr. Edgar Leavy, Speaker of the Assembly, wishing
you godspeed and success in your administration.
Mr. Mavor, that concludes the committee's program.
SUPERVISOR POWER: I wish to offer a motion that the Clerk
of this Board have a transcript made of today's proceedings and prop-
erly engrossed upon the record and presented to his Honor the Mayor.
THURSDAY. JANUARY 8, 1931. 53
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Second the motion.
THE CHAIR: If there is no objection, such will be the order.
THE CHAIR: My dear friends, colleagues of the Board of Super-
visors, and my fellow-citizens: I know that you all fully appreciate
my feelings at this particular moment, after all of the nice things that
have been said about me; also the fact that I have this day assumed
the highest office within the gift of the people of San Francisco. How-
ever, I am mindful of the fact that I was not elected by the people of
San Francisco to be their chief executive— I was elected as a member
of this Board of Supervisors, due to the fact that a vacancy occurred
which made it incumbent upon the membership of this Board to select
Mayor James Rolph's successor. They have taken upon themselves a
great responsibility, and that responsibility which I now assume is
just as much theirs as it is mine.
I fully appreciate, as well as any one, that following in the foot-
steps of a man who has served his beloved City for the past nine-
teen years, and a man who has tendered his resignation to the people
of San Francisco, leaving behind him such a splendid record of
public service, makes my position all the more difficult. But w^e
are happy indeed, and we are proud of the fact that we had such a
man as James Rolph, Jr., as our Mayor, who assumed office as Mayor
of this great City in 1911, assumed that office when this City was in
ashes, and, after nineteen years of service, we can all point now to a
City not alone San Francisco can be proud of, but the entire United
States.
My thoughts go back to last Saturday when His Excellency the Gov-
ernor of our State tendered his resignation to the people of San Fi-an-
cisco as their Mayor, and it is very seldom indeed, if ever, when an
individual serving the people in an official capacity, and serving them
for a period of 19 years, that his resignation would be reluctantly ac-
cepted. But in accepting his resignation and on his way to Sacra-
mento to become Governor of this State he carried with him the love,
confidence, the esteem and the gratitude of a grateful people. That is
the reason why I say that my position is difficult, to fill his shoes.
Oh, how often have we heard him say that he was the proudest man
in all the world to be Mayor of this great City of ours. How often
have we heard him say that he was proud of the dome of our City
Hall. But as I said the other evening at Sacramento at the inaugu-
ral banquet, the name and the fame of James Rolph, Jr., will live
long after the dome of this City Hall is no more.
I am very grateful to all of those who have spoken today and ex-
pressed their confidence in me, and fully realizing the responsibility
which I have assumed, I know that I will not be a success unless I
have the cooperation of all well-meaning people, unselfish people and
unselfish organizations, but those who have the welfare and interest
of San Francisco at heart. While I am pleased to hear the kind ex-
pressions that were uttered here today, I want your cooperation. We
want a united San Francisco, and if we work together with a united
front San Francisco will continue to make progress as it has in the
past.
While listening to those who were speaking here today the thought
went through my mind — because this is only an induction into office
— while it is true you have expressed thoughts as to my sincerity, my
desire to do something for the City which I love, still at the same
time I hope that when my term comes to an end that every one who
has spoken here today will have the same thought in mind, the same
thoughts of me and have the same confidence in me.
I want to assure you one and all that it is my desire to give to the
people of San Francisco the very best that is in me. I don't want to
be a better Mayor than Mayor James Rolph, Jr., but I am going to
endeavor to be as good a Mayor as he was, and, as I said before, I
am going to ask you for your cooperation.
54 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931.
I want to thank you one and all from the bottom of my heart for
your kind expressions and good wishes.
Mrs. Erne presented me with the American flag and the Bear flag.
That brings me back to the time when I joined the order of Native
Sons of the Golden West. That was many years ago; that was my
first love in fraternal life, although my love for California started
from the time I first saw the light. When I sat between the two flags
at the altar I took the oath to carry out the principles of that order,
namely, friendship, loyalty and brotherly love, and I am very glad
indeed that Mrs. Erne, representing the Native Daughters, presented
me with the American flag and the Bear flag today, and I want to
assure you that nothing could have been given to me which I would
appreciate more. I shall place them on my desk and be ever mindful
of my obligations to the people of San Francisco.
In closing I want to thank you again from the very bottom of my
heart, and I only hope that my actions as your Mayor may be such
that you will never have any regret for what you have done today and
that the Board of Supervisors may never regret that they elected me
as successor to Mayor James Rolph, Jr.
After this meeting is over I am going over to the ofiice of the Mayor
and I will be very happy indeed to greet you one and all as the Mayor
of your City, and as your Mayor I thank you. (Prolonged applause.)

On motion of Supervisor Colman the following matter was laid over

January 19. 1931.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors.
The committee appointed by your honorable Board to confer with
the Secretary of the Interior relative to the obligations of the City
and County of San Francisco under the Raker Act. which committee
was composed of Supervisors Jesse C. Colman, J. Emmet Hayden and
James B. McSheehy, City Engineer M. M. O'Shaughnessy and City
Attorney John J. O'Toole, did, pursuant to the directions of your
•Board, proceed to Washington, and on the 4th day of December, 1930,
had a conference with Hon. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the
Interior, as to the City's obligations under the Raker Act in so far as
the distribution of hydro-electric power and the construction of roads
in the Yosemite National Park are concerned.
The conference took place at the office of the Secretary, and there
were present thereat, representing the government of the United
States, the following named persons: Hon. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Sec-
62 MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1931.
retary of the Interior, his assistant, Mr. Eley, Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral Richardson, Solicitor for the Department Finney, and Director of
Parks Albright. Assisting your committee in the representation of
the City were Senators Hiram W. Johnson and Samuel M. Shortridge,
Representatives Richard J. Welch and Harry L.. Englebright. Con-
gresswoman Florence M. Kahn was not in the City of Washington and,
therefore, was not present at the hearing. Representative Louis C.
Cramton of Michigan was also in attendance.
At the outset of the hearing it was evident from the remarks of
the Secretary that the matter of the distribution of power, and not
the construction of roads, was uppermost in his mind, and that while
he had no desire to embarrass the City in preventing its obtaining
revenue from its power plant, he felt that our procedure was a viola-
tion of the provisions of the Raker Act, and as it had been called
to his attention by a member of the Congress, it was incumbent upon
him to take some action regarding it. The hearing before the Secre-
tary occupied the greater part of December 4th, and on the two suc-
ceeding days your committee conferred with Horace M. Albright,
Director of National Parks, relative to the City's obligation to con-
struct roads within the Yosemite National Park. The argument made
to the Secretary by the committee, and the tentative agreement as to
the construction of roads and trails within the Yosemite National Park,
was filed with the Secretary at the conclusion of the hearings, and as
it practically constitutes the tentative program for the distribution of
power and the construction of roads and trails, it is hereto attached
and made a part of this report, marked "Exhibit A."
Upon receiving the argument and the tentative agreement as to the
construction of ^oads and trails. Secretary Wilbur transmitted to the
City Attorney the following communication, which was practically an
acceptance of the City's offer as to the construction of roads and trails.
The letter is as follows:
THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
WASHINGTON
December 8, 1930.
John J. O'Toole, Esq., City Attorney, San Francisco, California:
My dear Mr. O'Toole: I have received with letter of transmittal
dated December 8, 1930, signed by Senators Hiram W. Johnson and
Samuel M. Shortridge and Representative Richard J. Welch and Harry
L. Englebright, argument presented by the committee representing the
City and County of San Francisco at conference in this Department
on December 4, 1930, in regard to the existing arrangements for the
distribution of power from the Hetch Hetchy project in Yosemite
National Park, together with tentative agreement reached in confer-
ence of said committee with the Director of the National Park Service
on December 5 and 6, 1930, relative to the City's obligations as to the
construction of roads and trails in the park under the Raker Act, said
agreement being subject to final approval by the Board of Supervisors
of San Francisco.
I have carefully considered the proposal of the City relative to a
fulfillment of its road and trail construction obligations under the
Raker Act and have to advise that the program submitted, if approved
by the Board of Supervisors, will fully satisfy the demands of this
Department as to such construction as provided for under said Act.
I note that your communication advises the Department of the City'g
three-year program for compliance with the provisions of the Raker Act
respecting power distribution, which will be followed with interest.
The successive steps outlined seem to be in the right direction.
Kindly keep me advised of the various steps to carry out the provi-
sions of the Raker Act as they are taken.
Sincerely yours,
RAY LYMAN WILBUR.
MONDAY. JANUARY 12. 19:U. 63
Your committee, in dealing with Director of National I'arks Al-
bright, endeavored to hold the road and trail program down to the
minimum amount. The Director was insistent that the City should
build roads and trails to the extent and cost of $1,680,000, the expendi-
ture to be made at the rate of approximately $400,000 per year. Your
committee succeeded in reducing the amount of this expenditure to
$1,500,000, the same to be expended at the rate of $250,000 per year,
the last $500,000 of the expenditure to be applied to the Crane Flat
road should the Secretary demand the construction of the same by the
City. The committee insisted that this road be made contingent upon
the request of the Secretary for two reasons: first, there was a possi-
bility that it might not have to be constructed, and, second, if it was
constructed, there was a possibility of the government itself defraying
the cost thereof.
The Secretary agreed to accept the present road from O'Shaughnessy
Dam to Lake Eleanor as a compliance with the provisions of the Raker
Act regarding that road. Your committee believes that this is ex-
tremely beneficial to the City, not only from a financial standpoint,
but also from a health standpoint, for the reason that both City
Engineer O'Shaughnessy and Director of Parks Albright were of the
opinion that the road to Lake Eleanor would cost at least $1,500,000
and its construction would throw open a large part of our watershed
to the general public. The Director of Parks stated that in all proba-
bility in the near future the National Park authorities would declare
Lake Eleanor and the surrounding watershed a "wilderness area,"
which would mean that the area w-ould be practically closed to auto-
mobile travel and open only to those traveling on foot or on horse-
back.
In view of the foregoing, your committee recommends as follows:
(a) That an agreement be entered into between the City and the
Secretary of the Interior, carrying out the road program as outlined
in the tentative offer submitted to the Secretary.
(b) That the City convey to the government of the United States
such property as it now owns in the Yosemite National Park and in
Sections 1 and 12, Township 1 South, Range — East, as are not needed
in connection with its water project or for other municipal purposes.
(c) That the Board of Freeholders be requested to include in the
new Charter which they are to prepare, provision for a non-partisan,
non-political Utility Commission, which will have charge of the opera-
tion, construction and maintenance of all public utilities owned by
the City.
(d) That upon the completion of the water supply of the Hetch
Hetchy project and the bringing it in to San Francisco, that the City
again submit to the people the matter of the acquisition of a distribu-
tion system for the hydro-electric power.
Enclosed herewith is a resolution authorizing the City to enter into
an agreement with the Secretary of the Interior relative to roads and
trails, and also one directing the attention of the Board of Freeholders
as to the necessity of making provision in the new Charter for a
Public Utilities Commission, and also one calling upon the City En-
gineer to forthwith advise the Board of Supervisors as to the amount
and description of real property owned by the City in the Yosemite
National Park and in Stanislaus National Forest which is not needed
in connection with our water project or for other municipal purposes.

EXHIBIT "A".
In the Matter of the Conference Between the Secretary of the Depart-
ment of the Interior of the United States and Representatives of the
City and County of San Francisco as to Certain Obligations of the
City Under the Raker Act, Which Conference Was Held in the
Office of the Secretary on December 4th, 1930.
Argument Presented by Committee.
SAN FRANCISCO'S DEVELOPMENT OF THE HETCH HETCHY.
San Francisco obtained its right to develop its appropriated waters
in the Yosemite National Park, and in the Stanislaus National Forest,
under the terms of the Act of Congress of December 19, 1913, commonly
known as the "Raker Act". The work thus far performed has been
financed by several bond issues voted by the people of San Francisco,
and which are direct obligations of the City. The dates of the bond
Issues and the respective amounts thereof are as follows:
January 1, 1909 $ 600,000.00 iV2%
July 1, 1910 45,000,000.00 41/2%
January 1, 1925 10,000,000.00 5%
July 1, 1928 24,000,000.00 41/2%
Total $79,600,000.00
All of the above-mentioned bonds have been sold with the exception
of $12,000,000 of the 1928 issue, which are being held and disposed of
by the City as funds are needed for construction purposes.
On the outstanding bonds the City had, as of the date of November
1, 1930, paid the sum of $20,110,305 in interest, the latter burden was
lessened to the extent of approximately $9,000,000 by the receipt of in-
come from hydro-electric power. But even with deduction, San Fran-
cisco will have an investment of more than $80,000,000 in its mountain
water supply, when the same is completed, which sum is exclusive of
additional interest accruing during the three years necessary to com-
plete the work, and also exclusive of any additional bonds which may
have to be voted to meet the increased cost of construction which has
arisen on the Coast division of the project.
In addition to the sum mentioned, the City has expended approxi-
mately $41,000,000 in the acquisition of the distributing system, res-
ervoirs and water rights of the Spring Valley Water Company, and is
now operating these properties as a municipally owned water system.
So when the Hetch Hetchy project is completed, San Francisco will
have invested in its municipal water supply and distributing system
in excess of $120,000,000.
The construction work done to date upon the Hetch Hetchy system
may be briefly summarized as follows:
1. O'Shaughnessy Dam — A concrete structure, 345 feet in height, cost-
ing $7,000,000 which impounds sixty-eight billion gallons of water.
2. Lake Eleanor Dam — Also a concrete structure 70 feet high and
1200 feet long, the cost of which was over $300,000.
3. Early Intake Dam — Arched concrete structure, 80 feet high, and
which acts as a diversion dam to turn Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor
water into main tunnel aqueduct.
4. Priests Dam — Earth and rock, 145 feet high, with concrete core.
Regulates water flow into Moccasin Creek Power House, and provides
storage to feed power house.
5. Moccasin Dam — Earth with rock fill, 75 feet high. Deflects water
into foothill division tunnel aqueduct after same passes through power
house.
MONDAY. JAISrUARY 12. 19?.!. 65
6. Tunnel aqueduct — from Early Intake to Priests Dam. Driven mostly
through solid granite, concrete lined, and has a capacity of 470 million
gallons daily. Length 19 miles, gravity flow.
7. Penstock, pipe and tunnel from Priests Dam to Moccasin Power
House. 13 feet in diameter and is concrete lined, 2 miles long.
8. Moccasin Power House — Steel frame concrete building, 225 feet
long, 98 feet wide, develops 100,000 horse power, releasing water into
Moccasin Reservoir. In operation since September, 1925.
&. Moccasin Creek — Transmission line, 97 miles long on City's right
of way. Voltage, 115,000.
10. Foothill Tunnel — Same capacity as tunnel from Early Intake,
gravity flow, 16 miles long.
11. Pipe line from Irvington in Alameda County to Crystal Springs
in Sau Mateo County, 22 miles long, including Pulgas tunnel. Conveys
water across San Francisco Bay, at Western Terminus of Hetch
Hetchy project to storage lakes acquired from Spring Valley Water
Company.
12. Early Intake Power House — At Early Intake Lake a power house
developing 4000 horse power was constructed at the commencement of
the Hetch Hetchy work. Also a transmission line of 22,000 volts ca-
pacity to provide power for construction purposes — now being operated
to supplement Moccasin Creek output.
13. Coast Range Tunnel — Now in course of construction, 1400 men
employed. 16.6 miles completed, 12 miles to be completed. To be con-
crete lined and to be completed in December, 1933, to be fed by pipe line
across San Joaquin Valley from Oakdale Portal of Foothill Division.
14. San Joaquin Pipe Line — 47 miles long. Work to be started, same
will be completed at same time as Coast Range Tunnel mentioned in
Sub. 13. Reason for delay — to save interest on cost as same cannot be
of service until tunnel is completed.
Work on all portions of project to be completed December, 1933.
Hydro-Electric Portion of Project.
When the Raker Act was passed, its purpose was to give San Fran-
cisco a water supply. The production of electricity was really looked
upon as. and is, a by-product. The Act placed obligations upon the City
as to its development of power, and wisely so, for no matter who re-
ceives the benefit of the disposition of the power, it is a distinct ad-
vantage to the people of the State. The City has developed power far
in excess of the mandates of the Act. The City is mindful of the pro-
visions of Section 6 of the Act, as to selling power for resale. Since
the completion of its Moccasin power plant in September, 1925, the
City has distributed the output of the plant to the inhabitants of San
Francisco, through the agency of the system of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company under a contract subject to termination by either
party on twenty-four hours' notice, and which contract will hereinafter
be referred to as "The Agency Contract." It will be admitted that the
contract has never received the approval of the Department of the
Interior as being in accord with Section 6 of the Act. and the City Is
not asking for any determination of this point at this time. This con-
tract has been productive of revenue to the City of something less than
$2,000,000 a year, the exact amount being dependent upon the amount
of water which can be impounded during the year. Every cent of this
revenue has been expended in paying interest upon the bonds voted by
San Francisco for the water project. The revenue cannot, under the ex-
press mandate of the Charter, be used for any other purpose, until
the bonds are finally wiped out, save that whenever there might be an
amount of revenue in excess of the amount necessary for interest, it
must be applied to the redemption of the principal. To deprive San
Francisco of this revenue would have caused, and will cause, an in-
66 MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1931.
crease in her tax rate of at least twenty-seven cents per year upon each
one hundred dollars of her taxable property, a burden which she can
ill afford to shoulder in view of her many other obligations at this par-
ticular time.
Distribution Directly by the City of Hetch Hetchy
Hydro-Electric Power.
It will be admitted that the so-called Agency Contract was a tem-
porary expedient to prevent a serious loss to San Francisco, a loss
which would have benefited no one, but possibly harmed many by
reason of the serious shortage of electric power in California at the
time the contract was entered into. The contract has been effective
since September, 1925, and it was tacitly permitted by the Department
to aid the City in carrying out the main purpose of the Hetch Hetchy
grant, i. e., a water supply for San Francisco. This purpose has not
been accomplished, notwithstanding every effort and the expenditure
of millions by the City. The vastness of the project and not any pro-
crastination by those charged with doing the work is responsible for
the delay. If a tacit permission (and we use the term not intending to
signify approval) by the Department was proper in 1925, the same
cogent reasons still exist why that permission should not now be
revoked, and why it should not be continued until our water project
is fully developed.
The Past and the Future.
San Francisco has made every effort to live up to the letter as well
as the spirit of the Raker Act. Before its power plant was completed,
proceedings were instituted to acquire the local distributing systems
of the companies supplying the City with electric energy. The pro-
ceedings were completed at the cost of some $400,000 to the City, and
within the shortest period of time that their magnitude would permit.
That the people of San Francisco did not place their final stamp of
approval upon the bonds necessary to acquire the properties is, we
admit, unfortunate, but the failure should not be taken, as an indica-
tion of the action of the people in the future. There were many reasons
which entered into their refusal. A few should be adverted to: a. The
people felt that in the Hetch Hetchy project they were embarking
upon a plan that would provide San Francisco with a water supply.
Power they looked upon as a by-product or incident to the more
necessary main project. Therefore they felt that they should not obli-
gate themselves to a large indebtedness (over sixty millions) until
the main project was completed, b. Times were not propitious either
for the issuance or sale of the obligations proposed. A financial strin-
gency made municipalities as well as individuals wary as to the in-
crease of their financial burdens, c. The acquisition of the properties of
the local system meant the management of an electric production and
distribution system second in size to none in the West. San Francisco
was not equipped with the political machinery, with a non-partisan,
non-political Commission to undertake the management of such a proj-
ect, d. Revenue was not being produced by the water project and the
people were fearful of increasing their civic financial burdens, which
might incidentally arise by the embarking on the electric project.
The future must and will obviate many of the so-called objections.
The water project will be completed and the main purpose of the
grant will be accomplished. It will be productive of income and will
carry the interest and redemption burden which now falls upon the
taxpayer. More prosperous times are undoubtedly ahead. San Francisco
is at this moment engaged in the drafting of a new charter which
will provide for a non-partisan, non-political Commission to take charge
of the operation of all its utilities. Such a commission will con-
duct and maintain all utilities on a strictly business basis and will
MONDAY. JANUARY 12. 1931. 67
Inspire the confidence of the people In the continuation and extension
of existing utilities, and the embarking upon new ones. Should the
proposed Charter, which must be adopted or rejected as a whole, not
receive the requisite approval of the people during the months of
March and April during the coming year, a separate amendment pro-
viding for the Utility Commission mentioned will be presented to the
people at the earliest subsequent opportunity, which will be in Novem-
ber, 1932.
This Committee will recommend to the Legislative Department of
San Francisco a program which will insure the adoption of legisla-
tion looking to the non-partisan Commission; also the prompt com-
pletion of the Hetch Hetchy water project at the earliest possible
moment, and a plan which will educate the people as to the necessity
of providing a direct method of distribution of the hydro-electric power
developed at the Moccasin plant, which plan will provide for the sub-
mission to the people within a reasonable time after the completion
of the water project, a bond issue for the direct distribution of our
power.
The committee from San Francisco has welcomed the opportunity
of conferring directly with the Director of National Parks, on De-
cember 5th and 6th, relative to the City's obligation as to roads and
trails under the Raker Act. After two conferences with that ofllcial the
City offers the following program of fulfillment of its obligations as to
roads and trails under the Raker Act, which program is the result of
the conference with the Director, and which we believe meets with
his approval.
The program Is as follows:
(a) That the City will complete the construction of a trail on the
north side of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir site and to the Tiltill Valley
and to Lake Vernon, according to the plans heretofore presented to and
approved by the Secretary of the Interior, said work to be performed
by the City, to be completed within the calendar year, 1931, and to be
done to the satisfaction of said Secretary.
(b) That the City will place upon the existing road from Mather
(formerly Hog Ranch) to the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, a bituminous
or asphaltlc wearing surface, making such curvature changes as may
be necessary for the safety of said road, and will also construct, where
necessary in the opinion of the Secretary, guard walls of stone. The
approximate cost of said work to be two hundred thousand dollars,
the same to be performed by the City to the satisfaction of the Secre-
tary, and to be completed within the calendar year 1931.
(c) That for the purpose of complying with its obligations to con-
struct a road along the southerly slope of Smith's Peak from Mather
(formerly Hog Ranch) past Harden Lake to a junction with the old
Tioga Road, the City will, during the month of July, 1932, and there-
after during the month of July, 1933, and during the month of July,
1934, pay to the United States of America, through the Department of
the Interior, the sum of $250,000 during each of said months, which
said sums will be supplied and used by the Department of the Interior
for the purpose of constructing the aforesaid road, which said road
will have an average surface width of 16 feet, and to be constructed In
accordance with plans approved by the Secretary of the Interior. That
the payment of the said sum of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
by the City will be considered as the fulfillment of the City's obliga-
tions under the Raker Act to construct said last mentioned road.
(d) That in addition to the construction of the aforesaid roads and
trails and the payment of the said sum of $750,000 as provided In the
last paragraph, the City will, upon the demand of the Secretary of the
Interior, said demand to be made upon the City between the 1st day of
January and the 1st day of April, 1934, pay to the United States,
68 MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1931.
through the Department of the Interior, the further sum of $500,000,
which said sum shall be used for the construction of a road of similar
character to that mentioned in paragraph (c) hereof, and which said
road shall connect with the said road mentioned in said paragraph (c)
and shell lead from the Mather-Harden-Lake road to Crane Flat. The
said sum of $500,000 shall be payable in two equal installments of
$250,000 each, one payable on July 15th, 1935, and the other payable
on July 15th, 1936. That it is understood that the last mentioned road
is not specifically mentioned in the Raker Act and that in consideration
of the payment of said sum of $500,000 as herein provided, the Secre-
tary of the Interior will accept the road which has been heretofore con-
structed by the City from Hetch Hetchy reservoir site to Lake Eleanor
via McGill Meadow, as and for the road or trail provided in the Raker
Act to be so constructed by the City, and as a compliance by the City
with the provisions of said Act requiring the construction of said road,
r Provided that the Secretary may use the payment which will become
due in the year 1934, for the road mentioned in paragraph (c) hereof,
for the construction of the road mentioned in paragraph (d) hereof,
provided that the total or annual obligation of the City for said roads
shall not be increased.
That upon the City constructing and completing the roads and trails
mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) hereof, and paying to the United
States the amounts provided to be paid in paragraphs (c) and (d)
hereof, the City will be considered to have complied with all of the
provisions of said Raker Act as to the construction of roads and trails,
and shall be considered to have performed its obligations in regard
thereto and the same shall be considered as a compliance with said
obligations by the City.
<
Provided that nothing herein contained shall change or modify tu^
present obligations of the City as to the maintenance or upkeep of roads
under said Raker Act.
" That the City will, upon the request of the Secretary of the Depart-
ment of the Interior, convey to the United States all property owned
by it in the Yosemite National Park or in Sections 1 and 12, Township
1 South, Range — East, M. D. B. & M., which said sections have been
authorized to be added to said park by Act of May 9, 1930, known as
Public Act 187, Seventy-first Congress, provided that the same are not
needed or used in connection with the Hetch Hetchy project or for
other purposes in connection with the government of San Francisco or
its institutions, due regard being had for the provisions of the Raker
Act which authorizes the use by the City, with the approval of the
Secretary, of additional lands in said park when the same are needed
In connection with said Hetch Hetchy project.
That said program as to roads and trails as herein contained, as
well as to the conveyance of lands, is subject to the approval of the
Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, and upon approval thereof by
said Board, legislation will be adopted authorizing an agreement be-
tween the City and the Department for the carrying out of said
program.
And in closing we most respectfully urge that to prevent, at this time,
the continuation of the present method employed by the City in the
distribution of its hydro-electric power, will entail a hardship upon
San Francisco and her people, and will benefit no one, but on the other
hand, will cause an economic waste which will be indirectly reflected
upon the State itself. The present method is the only one available to
the City for the time being. When the main project under the grant is
accomplished, undoubtedly other methods will be available, which
will not be subject to objection under the provisions of Section 6 of the
Act, and until that time we feel that the Department should, in the
exercise of the sound discretion as to construction of the Act, and with-
out finally committing itself as to any particular construction of Sec-

Resolution Memorializing Marshal Joffre.
Supervisor Canepa presented:
Resolution No. 33762 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, life's fitful campaign has been closed by and for the hero
of the Marne, a marshal of France, Joseph Jacques Joffre, who has
handed full and complete reports to the Great Commander of the
Universe; and
Whereas, the late idolized soldier of France had lived up to the
very finest martial traditions of the French nation, and manifested
unswerving loyalty to the tricolor, exemplary courage in the face of
the awful odds of battle, and succeeded beyond highest expectations
through wonderful strategic ability; and
Whereas, Marshal Joffre of France, though reared amidst the arduous
life of barrack and camp, maintained a noble, human trait, to be
forever endeared to the heart of the French nation by the beautiful
paternal appellation attached to his name; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County
of San Francisco does hereby give public tribute to the memory of
a man who has lived up to the greatest and grandest traditions of
the French nation; and be it
Further Resolved, That the said Board of Supervisors deeply regrets
the death of the marshal of France and offers to the people of the
French nation, as well as to the widow and daughter of the hero of
the Marne, sympathy and condolence at the loss sustained; and be it
Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread on the
minutes of this meeting, that another copy be sent to the President
of the French Republic through the Consul-General at San Francisco,
and that a copy be engrossed and forwarded to the widow of the late
Marshal Joffre.

108 MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1931.
Congress to Be Memorialized in re Adjusted Compensation Cer-
tificates Issued as Bonus to Service Men.
Supervisor Canepa presented:
Resolution No. (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, there are now pending in the Congress of the United
States several bills which propose in various ways the immediate pay-
ment of the Adjusted Compensation Certificates issued as a bonus to
service men after the World War; and
Whereas, the economic situation throughout the country would be
materially benefited by placing in circulation the substantial sum of
money necessary for the redemption of these certificates; and
Whereas, it seems to be the consensus of opinion among veterans
that an immediate dicharge of this obligation would be preferred
by them, inasmuch as it would tend in no small measure to alleviate

Report of City Engineer on Cave-in in East Mitchell Tunnel.
The following was read by the Clerk:
January 12, 1931.
Honorable Angelo J. Rossi, Mayor, San Francisco.
Dear Mr. Mayor: I am pleased to report to you on the rescue of
the twenty men who have been entombed for about thirty hours
during the period of the cave-in in the East Mitchell tunnel.
I was in this particular tunnel on November 25, just before my trip
East, and scrutinized it carefully. I am satisfied that the engineers
are taking every precaution possible to prosecute this work with the
greatest safety.
On last Saturday I visited the work, accompanied by Supervisor
Colman, and was on the ground and down in the excavation between
2 and 3:30 p. m. Only 4 feet of the small temporary drift, made on
the north side of the tunnel, remained to be excavated at that time
MONDAY, JANUARY 12, IfCU. 109
and the men were all released toward 11 o'clock that evening. Food
and water was ptissed in to them in the meantime throngh the 4-inch
pipe, so that the men were all physically fit and all back to work
again today.
The men are working in 14 separate headings, driving those 28.6
miles of tunnels, of which 17 miles are completed, and some of the
heaviest ground that can be encountered is met in this excavation.
All precautions possible have been taken to expedite the work, but
primarily it is kept in mind that the safety of the men comes first.
I have to state that the officials of the State Accident Commission
and the United States Bureau of Mines are cooperating with us in
every way to make the work safe. The fact that no lives have been
lost since last July bears testimony of the great care which is being
exercised in conducting those operations.
This accident retards the work of one heading not over two days,
the time it will take to clean out this fallen mass.
Very truly yours,
M. M. O'SHAUGNESSY, City Engineer.
Supervisor Havenner in this connection declared that there is con-
siderable talk about other slides not reported, also complaints that
one of the newspaper reporters was refused use of the 'phone for
sending out new^s of the recent disaster. He asked for an oflScial
investigation.
Supervisor Roncovieri suggested official recognition of the reported
bravery of Welby Morgan, pipeman employed on Hetch Hetchy work.

SPECIAL ORDER— 2:30 P. M.
Report of Washington Conference Committee on Hetch Hetchy
Roads, Trails and Sale of Power.
The following matter was taken up:
January 19, 1931.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors.
The committee appointed by your honorable Board to confer with
the Secretary of the Interior relative to the obligations of the City
and County of San Francisco under the Raker Act, which committee
was composed of Supervisors Jesse C. Colman, J. Emmet Hayden and
James B. McSheehy, City Engineer M. M. O'Shaughnessy and City
Attorney John J. O'Toole, did, pursuant to the directions of your
Board, proceed to Washington, and on the 4th day of December, i930,
had a conference with Hon. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the
Interior, as to the City's obligations under the Raker Act in so far as
the distribution of hydro-electric power and the construction of roads
in the Yosemite National Park are concerned.
The conference took place at the office of the Secretary, and there
were present thereat, representing the government of the United
States, the following named persons: Hon. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Sec-
retary of the Interior, his assistant, Mr. Eley, Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral Richardson, Solicitor for the Department Finney, and Director of
Parks Albright. Assisting your committee in the representation of
the City were Senators Hiram W. Johnson and Samuel M. Shortridge,
Representatives Richard J. Welch and Harry L. Englebright. Con-
gresswoman Florence M. Kahn was not in the City of Washington and,
therefore, was not present at the hearing. Representative Louis C.
Cramton of Michigan was also in attendance.
At the outset of the hearing it was evident from the remarks of
the Secretary that the matter of the distribution of power, and not
the construction of roads, was uppermost in his mind, and that while
he had no desire to embarrass the City in preventing its obtaining
revenue from its power plant, he felt that our procedure was a viola-
tion of the provisions of the Raker Act, and as it had been called
to his attention by a member of the Congress, it was incumbent upon
him to take some action regarding It. The hearing before the Secre-
tary occupied the greater part of December 4th, and on the two suc-
ceeding days your committee conferred with Horace M. Albright,
Director of National Parks, relative to the City's obligation to con-
struct roads within the Yosemite National Park. The argument made
to the Secretary by the committee, and the tentative agreement as to
the construction of roads and trails within the Yosemite National Park,
was filed with the Secretary at the conclusion of the hearings, and as
It practically constitutes the tentative program for the distribution of
power and the construction of roads and trails, it is hereto attached
and made a part of this report, marked "Exhibit A."
Upon receiving the argument and the tentative agreement as to the
construction of "oads and trails. Secretary Wilbur transmitted to the
City Attorney the following communication, which was practically an
acceptance of the City's offer as to the construction of roads and trails.
The letter is as follows:
118 MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1931.
THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
WASHINGTON
December 8, 1930.
John J. O'Toole, Esq., City Attorney, San Francisco, California:
My dear Mr. O'Toole: I have received with letter of transmittal
dated December 8, 1930, signed by Senators Hiram W. Johnson and
Samuel M. Shortridge and Representative Richard J. Welch and Harry
L. Englebright, argument presented by the committee representing the
City and County of San Francisco at conference in this Department
on December 4, 1930, in regard to the existing arrangements for the
distribution of power from the Hetch Hetchy project in Yosemite
National Park, together with tentative agreement reached in confer-
ence of said committee with the Director of the National Park Service
on December 5 and 6, 1930, relative to the City's obligations as to the
construction of roads and trails in the park under the Raker Act, said
agreement being subject to final approval by the Board of Supervisors
of San Francisco.
I have carefully considered the proposal of the City relative to a
fulfillment of its road and trail construction obligations under the
Raker Act and have to advise that the program submitted, if approved
by the Boai'd of Supervisors, will fully satisfy the demands of this
Department as to such construction as provided for under said Act.
I note that your communication advises the Department of the City's
three-year program for compliance with the provisions of the Raker Act
respecting power distribution, which will be followed with interest.
The successive steps outlined seem to be in the right direction.
Kindly keep me advised of the various steps to carry out the provi-
sions of the Raker Act as they are taken.
Sincerely yours,
RAY LYMAN WILBUH.
Your committee, in dealing with Director of National Parks Al-
bright, endeavored to hold the road and trail program down to the
minimum amount. The Director was insistent that the City should
build roads and trails to the extent and cost of $1,680,000, the expendi-
ture to be made at the rate of approximately $400,000 per year. Your
committee succeeded in reducing the amount of this expenditure to
$1,500,000, the same to be expended at the rate of $250,000 per year,
the last $500,000 of the expenditure to be applied to the Crane Flat
road should the Secretary demand the construction of the same by the
City. The committee insisted that this road be made contingent upon
the request of the Secretary for two reasons: first, there was a possi-
bility that it might not have to be constructed, and, second, if it was
constructed, there was a possibility of the government itself defraying
the cost thereof.
The Secretary agreed to accept the present road from O'Shaughnessy
Dam to Lake Eleanor as a compliance with the provisions of the Raker
Act regarding that road. Your committee believes that this is ex-
tremely beneficial to the City, not only from a financial standpoint,
but also from a health standpoint, for the reason that both City
Engineer O'Shaughnessy and Director of Parks Albright were of the
opinion that the road to Lake Eleanor would cost at least $1,500,000
and its construction would throw open a large part of our watershed
to the general public. The Director of Parks stated that in all proba-
bility in the near future the National Park authorities would declare
Lake Eleanor and the surrounding watershed a "wilderness area,"
which would mean that the area would be practically closed to auto-
mobile travel and open only to those traveling on foot or on horse-
back.
In view of the foregoing, your committee recommends as follows:
(a) That an agreement be entered into between the City and the
MONDAY. JANUARY 19, 1931. 119
Secretary of the Interior, carrying out the road program as outlined
In the tentative offer submitted to the Secretary.
(b) That the City convey to the government of the United States
such property as it now owns in the Yosemite National Park and in

EXHIBIT "A".
In the Matter of the Conference Between the Secretary of the Depart-
ment of the Interior of the United States and Representatives of the
City and Coimty of San Francisco as to Certain Obligations of the
City Under the Raker Act, Which Conference Was Held in the
Office of the Secretary on December 4th, 1930.
Argument Presented by Committee.
SAN FRANCISCO'S DEVELOPMENT OF THE HETCH HETCHY.
San Francisco obtained its right to develop Its appropriated waters
In the Yosemite National Park, and in the Stanislaus National Forest,
under the terms of the Act of Congress of December 19, 1913, commonly
known as the "Raker Act". The work thus far performed has been
financed by several bond issues voted by the people of San F^-ancisco,
and which are direct obligations of the City. The dates of the bond
Issues and the respective amounts thereof are as follows:
January 1, 1909 $ 600,000.00 i^%
July 1, 1910 45,000,000.00 4%%
January 1, 1925 10,000.000.00 5%
July 1, 1928 24,000,000.00 4^8%
Total $79,600,000.00
All of the above-mentioned bonds have been sold with the exception
of ?12,000,000 of the 1928 issue, which are being held and disposed of
by the City as funds are needed for construction purposes.
120 MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1931.
On the outstanding bqpds the City had, as of the date of November
1, 1930, paid the sum of $20,110,305 in interest, the latter burden was
lessened to the extent of approximately $9,000,000 by the receipt of in-
come from hydro-electric power. But even with deduction, San Fran-
cisco will have an investment of more than $80,000,000 in its mountain
water supply, when the same is completed, which sum is exclusive of
additional interest accruing during the three years necessary to com-
plete the work, and also exclusive of any additional bonds which may
have to be voted to meet the increased cost of construction which has
arisen on the Coast division of the project.
In addition to the sum mentioned, the City has expended approxi-
mately $41,000,000 in the acquisition of the distributing system, res-
ervoirs and water rights of the Spring Valley Water Company, and is
now operating these properties as a municipally owned water system.
So when the Hetch Hetchy project is completed, San Francisco will
have invested in its municipal water supply and distributing system
in excess of $120,000,000.
The construction work done to date upon the Hetch Hetchy system
may be briefly summarized as follows:
1. O'Shaughnessy Dam — ^A concrete structure, 345 feet in height, cost-
ing $7,000,000 which impounds sixty-eight billion gallons of water.
2. Lake Eleanor Dam — Also a concrete structure 70 feet high and
1200 feet long, the cost of which was over $300,000.
3. Early Intake Dam — Arched concrete structure, 80 feet high, and
which acts as a diversion dam to turn Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor
water into main tunnel aqueduct.
4. Priests Dam — Earth and rock, 145 feet high, with concrete core.
Regulates water flow into Moccasin Creek Power House, and provides
storage to feed power house.
5. Moccasin Dam — Earth with rock fill, 75 feet high. Deflects water
into foothill division tunnel aqueduct after same passes through power
house.
6. Tunnel aqueduct — from Early Intake to Priests Dam. Driven mostly
through solid granite, concrete lined, and has a capacity of 470 million
gallons daily. Length 19 miles, gravity flow.
7. Penstock, pipe and tunnel from Priests Dam to Moccasin Power
House, 13 feet in diameter and is concrete lined, 2 miles long.
8. Moccasin Power House — Steel frame concrete building, 225 feet
long, 98 feet wide, develops 100,000 horse power, releasing water into
Moccasin Reservoir. In operation since September, 1925.
9'. Moccasin Creek — Transmission line, 97 miles long on City's right
of way. Voltage, 115,000.
10. Foothill Tunnel — Same capacity as tunnel from Early Intake,
gravity flow, 16 miles long.
11. Pipe line from Irvington in Alameda County to Crystal Springs
in San Mateo County, 22 miles long, including Pulgas tunnel. Conveys
water across San Francisco Bay, at Western Terminus of Hetch
Hetchy project to storage lakes acquired from Spring Valley Water
Company.
12. Early Intake Power House — At Early Intake Lake a power house
developing 4000 horse power was constructed at the commencement of
the Hetch Hetchy work. Also a transmission line of 22,000 volts ca-
pacity to provide power for construction purposes — now being operated
to supplement Moccasin Creek output.
13. Coast Range Tunnel — Now in course of construction, 1400 men
employed, 16.6 miles completed, 12 miles to be completed. To be con-
crete lined and to be completed in December, 1933, to be fed by pipe line
across San Joaquin Valley from Oakdale Portal of Foothill Division.
14. San Joaquin Pipe Line — 47 miles long. Work to be started, same
will be completed at same time as Coast Range Tunnel mentioned in
MONDAY, JANUARY 19. 1931. 121
Sub. 13. Reason for delay — to save interest on cost as same cannot be
of service until tunnel is completed.
Work on all portions of project to be completed December, 1933.
Hydro-Electric Portion of Project.
When the Raker Act was passed, its purpose was to give San Fran-
cisco a water supply. The production of electricity was really looked
upon as. and is, a by-product. The Act placed obligations upon the City
as to its development of power, and wisely so, for no matter who re-
ceives the benefit of the disposition of the power, it is a distinct ad-
vantage to the people of the State. The City has developed power far
In excess of the mandates of the Act. The City is mindful of the pro-
visions of Section 6 of the Act, as to selling power for resale. Since
the completion of its Moccasin power plant in September, 1925, the
City has distributed the output of the plant to the inhabitants of San
Francisco, through the agency of the system of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company under a contract subject to termination by either
party on twenty-four hours' notice, and which contract will hereinafter
be referred to as "The Agency Contract." It will be admitted that the
contract has never received the approval of the Department of the
Interior as being in accord with Section 6 of the Act, and the City is
not asking for any determination of this point at this time. This con-
tract has been productive of revenue to the City of something less than
$2,000,000 a year, the exact amount being dependent upon the amount
of water which can be impounded during the year. Every cent of this
revenue has been expended in paying interest upon the bonds voted by
San Francisco for the water project. The revenue cannot, under the ex-
press mandate of the Charter, be used for any other purpose, until
the bonds are finally wiped out, save that whenever there might be an
amount of revenue in excess of the amount necessary for interest, it
must be applied to the redemption of the principal. To deprive San
Francisco of this revenue would have caused, and will cause, an in-
crease in her tax rate of at least twenty-seven cents per year upon each
one hundred dollars of her taxable property, a burden which she can
ill afford to shoulder in view of her many other obligations at this par-
ticular time.
Distribution Directly by the City of Hetch Hetchy
Hydro-Electric Power.
It will be admitted that the so-called Agency Contract was a tem-
porary expedient to prevent a serious loss to San Francisco, a loss
which would have benefited no one, but possibly harmed many by
reason of the serious shortage of electric power in California at the
time the contract was entered into. The contract has been effective
since September, 1925, and it was tacitly permitted by the Department
to aid the City in carrying out the main purpose of the Hetch Hetchy
grant, i. e., a water supply for San Francisco. This purpose has not
been accomplished, notwithstanding every effort and the expenditure
of millions by the City. The vastness of the project and not any pro-
crastination by those charged with doing the work is responsible for
the delay. If a tacit permission (and we use the term not intending to
signify approval) by the Department was proper in 1925. the same
cogent reasons still exist why that permission should not now be
revoked, and why it should not be continued until our water project
is fully developed.
The Past and the Future.
San Francisco has made every effort to live up to the letter as well
as the spirit of the Raker Act. Before its power plant was completed,
proceedings were instituted to acquire the local distributing systems
of the companies supplying the City with electric energy. The pro-
ceedings were completed at the cost of some $400,000 to the City, and
122 MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1931.
within the shortest period of time that their magnitude would permit.
That the people of San Francisco did not place their final stamp of
approval upon the bonds necessary to acquire the properties is, we
admit, unfortunate, but the failure should not be taken, as an indica-
tion of the action of the people in the future. There were many reasons
which entered into their refusal. A few should be adverted to: a. The
people felt that in the Hetch Hetchy project they were embarking
upon a plan that would provide San Francisco with a water supply.
Power they looked upon as a by-product or incident to the more
necessary main project. Therefore they felt that they should not obli-
gate themselves to a large indebtedness (over sixty millions) until
the main project was completed, b. Times were not propitious either
for the issuance or sale of the obligations proposed. A financial strin-
gency made municipalities as well as individuals wary as to the in-
crease of their financial burdens, c. The acquisition of the properties of
the local system meant the management of an electric production and
distribution system second in size to none in the West. San Francisco
was not equipped with the political machinery, with a non-partisan,
non-political Commission to undertake the management of such a proj-
ect, d. Revenue was not being produced by the water project and the
people were fearful of increasing their civic financial burdens, which
might incidentally arise by the embarking on the electric project.
The future must and will obviate many of the so-called objections.
The water project will be completed and the main purpose of the
grant will be accomplished. It will be productive of income and will
carry the interest and redemption burden which now falls upon the
taxpayer. More prosperous times are undoubtedly ahead. San Francisco
is at this moment engaged in the drafting of a new charter which
will provide for a non-partisan, non-political Commission to take charge
of the operation of all its utilities. Such a commission will con-
duct and maintain all utilities on a strictly business basis and will
inspire the confidence of the people in the continuation and extension
of existing utilities, and the embarking upon new ones. Should the
proposed Charter, which must be adopted or rejected as a whole, not
receive the requisite approval of the people during the months of
March and April during the coming year, a separate amendment pro-
viding for the Utility Commission mentioned will be presented to the
people at the earliest subsequent opportunity, which will be in Novem-
ber, 1932.
This Committee will recommend to the Legislative Department of
San Francisco a program which will insure the adoption of legisla-
tion looking to the non-partisan Commission; also the prompt com-
pletion of the Hetch Hetchy water project at the earliest possible
moment, and a plan which will educate the people as to the necessity
of providing a direct method of distribution of the hydro-electric power
developed at the Moccasin plant, which plan will provide for the sub-
mission to the people within a reasonable time after the completion
of the water project, a bond issue for the direct distribution of our
power.
The committee from San Francisco has welcomed the opportunity
of conferring directly with the Director of National Parks, on De-
cember 5th and 6th, relative to the City's obligation as to roads and
trails under the Raker Act. After two conferences with that official the
City offers the following program of fulfillment of its obligations as to
roads and trails under the Raker Act, which program is the result of
the conference with the Director, and which we believe meets with
his approval.
The program is as follows:
(a) That the City will complete the construction of a trail on the
north side of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir site and to the Tiltill Valley
and to Lake Vernon, according to the plans heretofore presented to and
i
MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1931. 123
approved by the Secretary of the Interior, said work to be performed
by the City, to be completed within the calendar year, 1931, and to be
done to the satisfaction of said Secretary.
(b) That the City will place upon the existing road from Mather
(formerly Hog Ranch) to the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, a bituminous
or asphaltic wearing surface, making such curvature changes as may
be necessary for the safety of said road, and will also construct, where
necessary in the opinion of the Secretary, guard walls of stone. The
approximate cost of said work to be two hundred thousand dollars,
the same to be performed by the City to the satisfaction of the Secre-
tarj', and to be completed within the calendar year 1931.
(c) That for the purpose of complying with its obligations to con-
struct a road along the southerly slope of Smith's Peak from Mather
(formerly Hog Ranch) past Harden Lake to a junction with the old
Tioga Road, the City will, during the month of July, 1932, and there-
after during the month of July, 1933, and during the month of July,
1934, pay to the United States of America, through the Department of
the Interior, the sum of $250,000 during each of said months, which
said sums will be supplied and used by the Department of the Interior
for the purpose of constructing the aforesaid road, which said road
will have an average surface width of 16 feet, and to be constructed in
accordance with plans approved by the Secretary of the Interior. That
the payment of the said sum of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
by the City will be considered as the fulfillment of the City's obliga-
tions under the Raker Act to construct said last mentioned road.
(d) That in addition to the construction of the aforesaid roads and
trails and the payment of the said sum of $750,000 as provided in the
last paragraph, the City will, upon the demand of the Secretary of the
Interior, said demand to be made upon the City between the 1st day of
January and the 1st day of April, 1934, pay to the United States,
through the Department of the Interior, the further sum of $500,000,
which said sum shall be used for the construction of a road of similar
character to that mentioned in paragraph (c) hereof, and which said
road shall connect with the said road mentioned in said paragraph (c)
and shall lead from the Mather-Harden-Lake road to Crane Flat. The
said sum of $500,000 shall be payable in two equal installments of
$250,000 each, one payable on July 15th, 1935, and the other payable
on July 15th, 1936. That it is understood that the last mentioned road
is not specifically mentioned in the Raker Act and that in consideration
of the payment of said sum of $500,000 as herein provided, the Secre-
tary of the Interior will accept the road which has been heretofore con-
structed by the City from Hetch Hetchy reservoir site to Lake Eleanor
via McGill Meadow, as and for the road or trail provided in the Raker
Act to be so constructed by the City, and as a compliance by the City
with the provisions of said Act requiring the construction of said road.
Provided that the Secretary may use the payment which will become
due in the year 1934, for the road mentioned in paragraph (c) hereof,
for the construction of the road mentioned in paragraph (d) hereof,
provided that the total or annual obligation of the City for said roads
shall not be increased.
That upon the City constructing and completing the roads and trails
mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) hereof, and paying to the United
States the amounts provided to be paid in paragraphs (c) and (d)
hereof, the City will be considered to have complied with all of the
provisions of said Raker Act as to the construction of roads and trails,
and shall be considered to have performed its obligations in regard
thereto and the same shall be considered as a compliance with said
obligations by the City.
Provided that nothing herein contained shall change or modify the
present obligations of the City as to the maintenance or upkeep of roads
under said Raker Act.
124 MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1931.
That the City will, upon the request of the Secretary of the Depart-
ment of the Interior, convey to the United States all property owned
by it in the Yosemite National Park or in Sections 1 and 12, Township
1 South, Range — East, M. D. B. & M., which said sections have been
authorized to be added to said park by Act of May 9, 1930, known as
Public Act 187, Seventy-first Congress, provided that the same are not
needed or used in connection with the Hetch Hetchy project or for
other purposes in connection with the government of San Francisco or
its institutions, due regard being had for the provisions of the Raker
Act which authorizes the use by the City, with the approval of the
Secretary, of additional lands in said park when the same are needed
in connection with said Hetch Hetchy project.
That said program as to roads and trails as herein contained, as
well as to the conveyance of lands, is subject to the approval of the
Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, and upon approval thereof by
said Board, legislation will be adopted authorizing an agreement be-
tween the City and the Department for the carrying out of said
program.
And in closing we most respectfully urge that to prevent, at this time,
the continuation of the present method employed by the City in the
distribution of its hydro-electric power, will entail a hardship upon
San Francisco and her people, and will benefit no one, but on the other
hand, will cause an economic waste which will be indirectly reflected
upon the State itself. The present method is the only one available to
the City for the time being. When the main project under the grant is
accomplished, undoubtedly other methods will be available, which
will not be subject to objection under the provisions of Section 6 of the
Act, and until that time we feel that the Department should, in the
exercise of the sound discretion as to construction of the Act, and with-
out finally committing itself as to any particular construction of Sec-
tion 6, look upon the temporary expedient employed by the City as
"a reasonable compliance" with its obligations for the time being.

Amendment to Widows' Pension Act.
Supervisor Canepa presented:
Resolution No. (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, the Widows' Pension Law provides State aid to widows
with dependent children only until the children reach the age of six-
teen years, and
Whereas, by State law, all children are required to attend school
until they attain the age of eighteen years, and
Whereas, the apparent inconsistency of these two laws is repugnant
to equity in that it works a considerable hardship upon widows whose
children are required to attend school for a period of two years after
the time when State's contribution toward their support ceases; there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That this Board of Supervisors places itself on record as
favoring an amendment to the Widows' Pension Act, which amend-
ment shall provide that the time within which a widow with depen-
dent children shall receive State aid shall extend until such dependent
children shall have reached the age of eighteen years; and, be it
Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the San Francisco delegation in the State Legislature, to the Speaker
of the Assembly, the Lieutenant-Governor, and the Governor of the
State of California.
Referred to Judiciary Committee.
Immediate Payment of Compensation Bonus.
Supervisor Canepa presented:
Resolution No. (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, there are now pending in the Congress of the United
States several bills which propose in various ways the immediate pay-
ment of the Adjusted Compensation Certificates issued as a bonus to
service men after the World War, and
Whereas, the economic situation throughout the country would be
materially benefited by placing in circulation the substantial sum of
money necessary for the redemption of these certificates, and
Whereas, it seems to be the consensus of opinion among veterans
that an immediate discharge of this obligation would be preferred by
them, inasmuch as it would tend in no small measure to alleviate
some of the financial pressure so acutely felt throughout the nation;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of
San Francisco does hereby memorialize Congress, and does urge that
a measure be adopted whereby those veterans who deem it prudent and
expedient may avail themselves of the opportunity of procuring imme-
diate payment of this bonus, and be it
Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
180 MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1931.

Welby Morgan, Hetch Hetchy Employee Commended for Bravery.
Supervisor Roncovieri presented:
Resolution No. (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, it has been reported that Welby Morgan, employed on the
Hetch Hetchy project through his presence of mind and courage, and
at great peril to himself, deliberately stopped on his way to safety to
carefully place a pipe which was the direct means of furnishing air
and food to 20 miners trapped in a gas-filled tunnel at Mitchell shaft,
by means of which the lives of all of the men were saved; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Public Utilities Committee report officially upon
the heroic deed of Welby Morgan and recommend a suitable reward
for his meritorious conduct.
I move the suspension of the rule and the adoption of the motion.
Supervisor Shannon: I move reference to the Public Utilities Com-
mittee.

Resolution on Death of Ray Martin.
Supervisor Havenner presented: '
Resolution No. 33S16 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, Raymond J. Martin, for a number of years a faithful and
efficient employee in the Clerk's office of the Board of Supervisors,
has suddenly been called upon by his Maker to render his final j
accounting; and
Whereas, his cheerful personality and friendly spirit endeared him
to each and every member of this Board of Supervisors, to his office j
associates, and to the public with which he came in contact, and in '
his passing, the City he loved lost an earnest and conscientious
servant; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County
of San Francisco does hereby express its sincere regret and deep grief
at the demise of Raymond J. Martin; and be it
Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread on the
minutes of this meeting and that this Board adjourn, when it does
adjourn today, out of respect to his memory.
Supervisor Havenner: Mr. Chairman, by reason of the extra-
ordinary business before the Board at the last meeting we did not
pay our tribute of respect to Mr. Martin, and it was my intention, if
possible, to have done so at that time.
I think all of the members of the Board will agree with me that
the duties which he assumed on the death of our previous bookkeeper
Mr Williams, a little over a year ago are about as important and
difficult as those involved in any post in the city service. Mr. Williams
who held the position for nearly half a century, was about the only
man in the City Hall, I think, who had every detail of the Citys
business at his finger tips. He handled the difficult task of making
up the annual budget and tax rate with remarkable ability. Mr.
Martin chosen by the Board to succeed him suddenly on the failing
of Mr 'williams' health, and up to the time his own health began to
fail I can testify filled the position with great ability and a great
MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1931. 181
deal of sincerity aud fidelity. I am sure all of the members of the
Board will join witli me in sincei-e regret at his passing, and I desire
to move the Board when it does adjourn that we adjourn in respect
to the memory of Mr. Martin and that a copy of this resolution be
sent to his relatives.
Supervisor Hayden: As a member of the Finance Committee for a
year I had very intimate contact with Mr. Martin, and everything
Supervisor Havenner has said of him is absolutely true, and I realize
that from my experience with him in that office. A most conscien-
tious, painstaking loyal man. We of the Finance Committee, and you
as the Chairman of that Committee, Mr. Mayor, suddenly missed him
when he passed away so suddenly. We realize the responsibility of
that position, and realize the character and manner of man necessary
to fill it, and Mr. Martin certainly filled it with perfect satisfaction to
the prior Finance Committee, and the previous Finance Committee
and I indeed regret very much the passing of Mr. Martin.
The Chair: I will call for a rising vote on the resolution.
(Thereupon the resolution was, by unanimous standing vote of the
Board, adopted.)

Recommending Immediate Payment of Adjusted Compensation
Certificates to Veterans of the World War.
On recommendation of Public Welfare Committee.
Resolution No. 33S58 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, There are now pending in the Congress of the United
States several bills which propose in various ways the immediate
payment of the Adjusted Compensation Certificates issued as a bonus
to service men after the World War; and
Whereas, The economic situation throughout the country would be
materially benefited by placing in circulation the substantial sum of
money necessary for the redemption of these certificates; and
Whereas, It seems to be the consensus of opinion among veterans
that an immediate discharge of this obligation would be preferred by
them, inasmuch as it would tend in no small measure to alleviate
some of the financial pressure so acutely felt throughout the nation;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of
San Francisco does hereby memoralize Congress, and does urge that
a measure be adopted whereby those veterans who deem it prudent
and expedient may avail themselves of the opportunity of procuring

of California's representatives in the United States Congress, as well

received from taxes, licenses, fees, fines, penalties, forfeitures, and all

demand and the amount of said order or demand does not exceed the
amount of the unexpended and not otherwise appropriated moneys
remaining in the fund out of which said order is payable but where

said order or demand, the Borough Controller must indorse thereon the
words, "not approved for want of funds," with the date of presenta-
tion and shall, in attestation thereof, affix his signature thereto; and

gregate amount which such borough shall appropriate out of borough
funds in said fiscal year for said purposes, or exceed the amount which
the city and county shall raise in said fiscal year by city and county
taxes levied and assessed for like purposes against taxable property
within such borough. Such system of subventions may be modified
from time to time by the Board of Supervisors by ordinance, but all
ordinances so providing shall apply generally to all boroughs.

costs and expenses of such improvements, which expenses shall be
made and assessments levied and collected in conformity with the pro-
cedure set forth in this Charter for the city and county, or with the
procedure set forth in any ordinance passed or adopted thereunder, or

vide other or alternative methods for such collection by foreclosure or
otherwise. Such work or improvements are any permitted to be done
by boroughs under this Charter or by the city and county or by any
such procedure, ordinance or general law.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Supervisors
from establishing similar local improvement districts where the same

territory lying partly within and partly without a borough, or from
levying and collecting special assessments and reassessments to pay
the cost and expenses of such local public improvements.

Referred to Joint Committees on Industrial Development and Ju-

Report of City Engineer on Supervisor Havenner's Motion for Plans,
Specifications and Estimates of Cost, San Joaquin Pipe Line.
The following was presented, read, and referred to the Public Utilities
Committee:
To the Honorable the Board of Public Works.
Gentlemen: Herewith I submit, for transmission to the Board of
Supervisors, "plans, specifications and estimates of cost for the con-
struction of an adequate pipe line across the San Joaquin Valley for
the purpose of conveying water across said Valley from the Oakdale
Portal to the Tesla Portal of the Hetch Hetchy Project," as required
by Resolution No. 33806 (New Series), adopted by the Board of Super-
visors January 19, 1931, and approved by the Mayor January 20, 1931.
Besides the construction of the San Joaquin Pipe Line, the comple-
tion of the Red Mountain Bar Siphon is included here, as this siphon
is necessary to complete the aqueduct between Moccasin Creek and
Oakdale Portal.
PLANS.
Attached hereto is a print of a drawing, file No. R-266, entitled,
"Hetch Hetchy Water Supply of the City and County of San Francisco,
Calif. Plans for San Joaquin Pipe Line, prepared in compliance with
Resolution No. 33806 (New Series) of the Board of Supervisors. M. M.
O'Shaughnessy, City Engineer, January, 1931.''
This drawing shows in plan and in profile both the San Joaquin
Pipe Line and the Red Mountain Bar Siphon.
Tlie drawing in fact covers the entire aqueduct line from Moccasin
Power Plant to Irvington Portal, thus showing the relation between the
pipe lines and the other portions of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct com-
pleted and under construction.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR SAN JOAQUIN PIPE LINE.
Capacity: The San Joaquin Pipe Line is to have a delivery capacity
of 60,000,000 gallons daily.
Length: The line will be 47.5 miles in length from Oakdale Portal
of the Foothill Tunnel to Tesla Portal of the Coast Range Tunnel.
Pressure Head: The pressure head in the pipe varies from 50 feet
to 540 feet (22 to 234 pounds per square inch), about 30 miles of pipe
being under a head of 500 feet (217 pounds) or more.
Alternative Types and Sizes of Pipe: In calling for bids, provision
will be made for bidders to submit figures on alternative types of pipe
line construction, with different sizes to correspond to the flow charac-
teristics of the various types, as follows:
Diameter
Type (Inches)
Riveted steel pipe 61
Lock-bar pipe 58
Welded pipe 58
Steel pipe with concrete lining 54
Reinforced concrete pipe 54
Any type not considered suitable for the entire line will be limited
to those sections for which it is considered suitable.
248 MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1931.
Basis of Estimate: As the basis for tlie present estimate, it is as-
sumed tliat ttie line will be of lock-bar or welded construction, 58
inches in diameter, except for 50,000 feet C&Vo miles) at and near the
San Joaquin River crossing, where 61-inch riveted pipe may be neces-
sary. Thicknesses will vary from 5/16 inch to 9/16 inch. The length of
pipe of each diameter and thickness is shown in the cost estimate.
The diameters and the lengths of pipe of each thickness are subject
to some changes, which, however, will not affect the usefulness or
accuracy of this estimate for the purposes for which it is now required.
General Construction: The pipe in general will be dipped in an
asphalt bath and wrapped with paper, for protection against corrosion.
Where more severe conditions require further protection, the pipe will
be jacketed with concrete.
The pipe will be laid in trench, with a depth of cover averaging
three feet.
San Joaquin River Crossing: The pipe will cross the San Joaquin
River and the flood relief channel known as Elliott Cut in trench
beneath the channels. Pile foundations and special protection (by
concrete jacketing) against external pressure and corrosion will be
required.
Subdivision Into Sections: The pipe line will be divided into several
sections (probably six), the proposal form being- arranged to permit
any bidder to bid on constructing the entire line or on any number
of sections.
Time Allowance: A normal time allowance for this work would be
not less than 18 months nor more than two years. Tlie date of com-
pletion of the Coast Range Tunnel as now estimated, is December, I
1933. The contract or contracts for pipe line construction should be <
awarded about January 1, 1932, with a time allowance of 22 months,
or to November 1, 1933, thus allowing a margin of two months in case
tunnel construction actually progresses somewhat faster than now
anticipated.
In the estimate following, the itemized prices are based on an as-
sumed time allowance of at least 18 months.
To do the work in 12 months' contract time, increased cost will be
necessary, due to any or all of the following considerations: for in-
creased shop facilities, for subdividing the work among several con-
tractors (some of whom may be located at considerable distance from
San Francisco), for higher freight costs on pipe manufactured at dis-
tant shops, for less flexibility in programming the contractor's work
and greater effect of delay due to adverse weather conditions and other
causes beyond the contractor's control.
The excess cost for constructing this pipe line in one year's time is
estimated as a 10% addition to the cost of doing the work in a normal ^
time.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR RED MOUNTAIN BAR SIPHON '
This pipe line, to connect the ends of the constructed portion of the
siphon to the tunnel portals east and west of the Tuolumne River, will i
be 9 ft. 6 in. in diameter, of riveted steel construction, with thicknesses
from % in. to % in., and total length 1705 feet. The pipe will be sup- :
ported above ground on piers. j
The following incidental construction also is required: \
Reinforced concrete structures to connect pipe to tunnel portals; '
Spillway to discharge into the river any water brought through
the tunnel in excess of the quantity required for transmission to
San Francisco;
Control valve, air valves, manholes.
Eight months' contract time is a proper allowance.

Celebration of Two Hundredth Anniversary of George Washington.
Supervisor Gallagher presented:
Resolution No. 33862 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, February 22, 1932, will be the two hundredth anniversary
of the birth of George Washington; and
Whereas, many States and cities are now preparing plans to par-
ticipate in a nation-wide observance of this event; and
Whereas, the Federal government is likewise actively engaged In |
plans for suitable recognition of the importance of the occasion and '
has appropriated the sum of $5,000,000 to construct a highway from !
Washington, D. C., to Mount Vernon, in commemoration of the event; j
and
Whereas, the year 1932 promises world-wide interest in the State of ;
California because of the fact that the Olympiad will be held in the ;
city of Los Angeles in this year, thereby bringing to California the
greatest number of people from the different parts of the world ever ;
assembled in one city; and
Whereas, it is also possible that the American Legion may hold its
national convention in Los Angeles in the year 1932, thereby intensify-
ing the interest naturally felt in spending a vacation in California by
many thousands of citizens of the United States; and
Whereas, California has recently elected an outstanding citizen of
experience, culture and ability, in the person of James Rolph, Jr., as
its chief executive, who will preside over the State for the next four
years; and
Whereas, the City of San Francisco will be called upon to entertain
and furnish interest for this vast assemblage; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the San Francisco Board of Supervisors undertake
MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1931. 251

dredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington by appropriate
creation of civic activities, among which may be the dedication of the
bridge across the Golden Gate or the proposed bridge from San Fran-
cisco to Alameda County; and be it
Further Resolved, That a special committee of a suitable number of
Supervisors is hereby authorized to take cognizance of the foregoing
situation and study plans which will give the citizens of San Fran-
cisco an opportunity of properly preparing suitable reception and par-
ticipation in various forms of hospitality which will naturally grow
out of the presence of such an unusual number of visitors from other
parts of the world; and be it
Further Resolved, That the Mayor is hereby authorized to appoint
such a committee from the Board of Supervisors at his earliest dis-
cretion, in order that the matter may receive the attention which is
necessary to make such plans effective.

Dear Sir: Replying further to your letter of August 27th:
We have made an examination of the advertising expenses of the
San Francisco division of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company and of j
the expenses covering advertising emanating from the company's gen- |
eral office in San Francisco and find nothing improper in the distribu-
tion of such expenses. .
We further find that the company expended $21,066.71 to defeat the j
proposed bond issues to which you refer in your letter. The $21,066.71
was charged by the company to a suspense account at the time of our
examination. We are assured that it will be charged to profit and loss.

Opinion of City Attorney — Proposed Incineration Franchise Cannot
Be Tested Without Definite Action by Supervisors.
February 2, 19?.l.
Gentlemen: Your recent request for an opinion was received in
due course as follows:
Must the Board of Supervisors tal^e definite action by resolution of
acceptance before an injunction proceeding can be brought to restrain
the granting of a franchise ordinance to the San Francisco Disposal
Company, Inc.. for incineration of garbage, etc.?
OPINION.
It has been suggested that an application to the courts for declaratory
relief, to declare the rights and duties of all parties with respect to
this matter, might be commenced. However, an action for declaratory
relief would not be good, for the reason that at the present time there
is no actual controversy, within the meaning of Section 1060, Code
of Civil Procedure.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1931. 261
It has also been suggested that a petition for a writ of mandate might
be filed, and in that way raise the various points of law in connection
with this matter However, mandamus will not lie, for the reasons
hereinafter advanced with respect to applications for injunctions, nor
will an application for a writ of prohibition, for the same reasons.
It is a fundamental rule of equity that injunctions cannot be used
to control discretionary acts, and this is so although the powers vested
in municipal officers are quasi-judicial as well as administrative. (See
32 C. J. 242; 32 C. J. 260.)
In 32 C. J. 267 it is said: "Where the statute requires a contract
to be let to the lowest bidder, the letting of it to one not the lowest
bidder will be enjoined; but not * * * where ratification by the
municipality is required before the contract is made." (See Dibble v.
New Haven, 14 Atl. 210 [Conn.].)
In Garrity v. Halbert. 225 S. W. 196 (Texas), it was held that courts
will not enjoin the enactment of city ordinances, valid or invalid,
unless it is made clearly to appear that irreparable injury immediately
will result from the mere enactment of the ordinance without inter-
vention oi" attempt to do some act or exercise some privilege under it,
and equity will interfere by injunction only when it becomes necessary
to restrain some unlawful and injurious act authorized by ordinance.
(See 32 C. J. 263.)
In American Coal Mining Co. v. Special Coal and Food Commission,
286 Fed. .563 (Ind.), the court held: "You cannot make any proof as
to a hypothetical condition in the future." (See 32 C. .1. 245.)
In 14 Cal. Juris 202 the text-writer sets forth the following:
"Municipal Legislation. An injunction may not be granted in Cali-
fornia to prevent a legislative act by a municipal corporation within
the scope of its powers. Consequently, the decisions clearly enunciate
the principle that where power to act is delegated to a local governing
body, the wisdom and need for the exercise of power one way or
another are questions which rest primarily within the appropriate
jurisdiction of such body, and will not be decided in advance by the
court. It is the duty of that body alone to ascertain the facts and
thereafter to exercise a judgment and discretion as to the appropriate
action to be taken. The presumption is that it will do its duty, and
injunction will therefore not lie to control its action. The fact that
the threatened act may be in disregard of constitutional restraints does
not affect the question; it is legislative discretion which is exercised,
and that discretion, whether rightfully or wrongfully exercised, is not
i subject to interference by the judiciary."
j In Glide .'. Superior Court, 147 Cal. 21, at 24, we find the following
pertinent language: "In Alpers v. San Francisco, 32 Fed. 503, Mr.
Justice Field, discussing the same matter, says: 'The same exemption
from judicial interference applies to all legislative bodies, so far as
their legislative discretion extends. Municipal corporations are the
I instrumentalities of the State for the more convenient administration
of local affairs, and for that purpose are invested with certain legis-
lative power. Ill the exercise of that power, upon the subjects sub-
mitted to their jurisdiction, they are a.s much beyond judicial inter-
ference as the legislature of the State. The courts cannot in the one
' case forbid the passage of a law nor in the other the passage of a
resolution, order, or ordinance. If by either body, the Legislature or
the Board of Supervisors, an unconstitutional act be passed, its en-
■ forcement may be arrested. The parties seeking to execute the invalid
act can be reached by the courts, while the legislative body of the
. State, or of the municipality, in the exercise of its legislative discretion,
i is beyond their jurisdiction. The fact that in either case the legis-
' lative act threatened may be in disregard of constitutional restraints,
and impair the obligation of a contract, as alleged in this case, does not
affect the question. It is legisaltive discretion which is exercised, and
that discretion, whether rightfully or wrongfully exercised, is not
subject to interference by the judiciary.' Alpers v. San Francisco was
reviewed and affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States in
262 MONDAY. FEBRUARY 2, 1931.
the recent oase of McChord v. Louisville, 183 U. S. 495. In consonanc^
with these utterances are the decisions of our own State in Fall
County of Sutter, 21 Gal. 237; McBride v. Newlin, 129 Cal. 36; Bart<
V. Supervisors, 135 Cal. 494. Finally, it may be added that this
principle, of which exception has thus been made, is crystallized in the
language of Section 3423 of the Civil Code, which declares that an
injunction cannot be granted: '7. To prevent a legislative act by a
municipal corporation.' "
Under the present procedure as heretofore outlined to the Board
of Supervisors it appears that the passing of a resolution of acceptance
would precede the actual granting of a franchise ordinance. In view
of the fact that the franchise ordinance constitutes a contract, the
passing of the resolution would simply be an overt act leading toward
the entering into of the contract, so that when such a resolution is
passed definite action against the Board of Supervisors might be taken,
but not sooner, for the reason that the Supervisors must make a definite
move before a cause of action arises. Until such time as the resolution i
is passed the Supervisors are merely exercising their legislative dis- I
cretiou. When the resolution has been passed the Supervisors have
begun the course of creating a definite obligation and the question of
discretion is no longer pertinent.
It is, therefore, my opinion that until the Board of Supervisors
make a definite move leading toward acceptance of the bid of the San
Francisco Disposal Company, Inc., no action for an injunction can be
properly brought. This means that the issue is now squarely before
the Boaid witli respect to whether the Board desires to accept or reject
the proposition of the San Francisco Disposal Company, Inc. ;
This, of course, in view of my ojiinion. becomes entirely a question j
of policy.
Respectfully,
WALTER A. DOLD.
Chief Deputy City Attorney.

Mayor Requests Ordinance for Leasing Unused City Property.
The following was presented and read by the Clerk:
San Francisco. Cal., February 2. 1931.
Honorable Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Fran-
ci.sco, City Hall. San Francisco. California.
Gentlemen: Recently the City Attorney rendered an opinion ad-
vising nie that the existing method of allowing individuals and firms
to occupy lands owned by the City and County, and not in use by any
of the departments of the City and County, was illegal. The opinion
carried with it recommendations to the effect that your honorable
Board pass legislation that would simplify the method of leasing unused
City property at a minimum of expense because of the small returns
obtainable from many of the unused parcels. Pending the passage of
such legislation I have designated Mr. Joseph M. Cumming, of this
office, to collect all rents due under the so-called permit system now
in effect.
I recommend to you that an ordinance be enacted by your honorable
Board defining my powers, the length of publication ycu desire to have
made prior to the granting of any lease, and the term for which such
leases may be granted.
Respectfully submitted,
ANGELO J. ROSSI, Mayor.

proval of such proposed acquisition or construction of such additions
'or extensions by the Board of Supervisors, without necessity for sub-

be sold for less than par. Each and every such bond issued shall
state plainly upon its face that it is payable, both as to principal and
interest, only from the special fund created for that puri)ose out of the
revenues of the particular utility, and that it does not constitute a
general indebtedness against the City and County, and, further, that
in the hands of a bona fide holder such bonds shall be deemed to have
all the qualities of a negotiable instrument under the law merchant., j
When additional bonds are authorized and issued under the pro- \
visions of this article to provide funds for the completion of any \
public utility or for the acquisition or construction of additions or
extensions to an existing utility owned and operated by the City \

nate to all prior issues of bonds for such utility which, may have been, i
made hereunder.

just and reasonable rates for service rendered by any utility acquiredj i
or constructed through the issuance and sale of bonds of the charactei;
herein provided, and in fixing and establishing such rates shall takf
into account and consideration the cost of maintaining and operatini
the same, the proper and necessary allowance for depreciation anc;
accident reserves, and the amount required to meet bond redemptioi)
and interest obligations. |
Section 8. The Public Utilities Commission shall cause the grossi
income and revenues of any utility acquired or constructed under th(i
provisions of this article to be deposited daily in the treasury of th<t
City and County to the credit of a separate and special account foi!
each utility. The Commission shall, by resolution, fix and determine |
(a) the proportion of the revenues of such utility which shall bif
necessary for the reasonable and proper operation and maintenanci;
thereof, including pension charges and compensation insurance; (b) th<
proportion of the said revenues which shall be set aside as a proper an(j
adequate depreciation reserve, and also a reasonable and proper acCi
dent reserve; and (c) the fixed proportion of said revenues which shal
be set aside and applied to the payment of the principal and interes
of the bonds authorized under this article, which fixed amount o
proportion of the revenue to be api)ropriated to the bond redemptioij

revenues set aside for operation and maintenance, including pensio)
charges and compensation insurance, shall be used and applied e>
clusively for that purpose until the accumulation of the surplus o
the amount hereinafter specified.
The proportion of the revenues appropriated by resolution to th;
depreciation reserve and to the accident reserve shall be respectivel'
expended in meeting the cost of depreciation in the particular utility
or extensions or additions thereto, and in the payment of acciden
claims. Any accumulation of such depreciation reserve or such ace
dent reserve may be invested, and if invested, the income from tli
investment shall be carried into the particular reserve from whicl
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1931. 299
I such investment was made. Such reserves and the proceeds thereof
shall not be used for any other purpose than as herein provided.
The tixed proportion of the revenues which shall by resolution be
: appropriated for the payment of the principal and interest of the
bonds issued under the provisions of this article for each particular
utility shall, from month to month, as the same shall accrue and be
received, be set apart and paid into a special account in the treasury
of the City and County, to be identified as the bond redemption and
interest account of the particular utility. In fixing and determining
, the amount or proportion which shall be set aside for the payment
; of the principal and interest of the bonds issued hereunder, Mie Com-
mission may provide that the amount to be set aside for such purpose
for any year or years shall not exceed a fixed sum, which fixed amount
or proportion of the revenue to be appropriated to the bond redemp-
tion and interest account shall never be less than the amount required
for redemption and interest obligations for the ensuing year of the
[bonds so issued and sold.

tenance fund which shall be equal to the cost cf operation and main-
tenance, including pension charges and compensation insurance, of
the particular utility during the remainder of the operating year then
current, and the estimated cost of operation and maintenance, pension
charges and compensation insurance for said utility for a period of
six months thereafter, any excess over such surplus may be by the
Commission ordered transferred to either the depreciation account,
accident reseive account, bond redemption and interest account, or may
be transferred to a surplus account to be used for extensions or addi-
'jtions to the particular utility, as the Commission may decide.
.[ The Commission may, by resolution, adjust the amounts or portions
llof the gross revenues of the utility to be appropriated to the particular
'purposes in this section specified at the beginning of each operating
year, and in any such adjustment shall be guided by the results ex-
perienced during the preceding year or years, but the tixed propor-
tion or sum to be appropriated to the special fund to meet the redemp-
tion and interest payments shall never be reduced below the actual
; ifequirements for such puri)ose for the ensuing year.

gregate amount which such borough shall appropriate out of borough
funds in said fiscal year for said purposes, or exceed the amount which
the city and county shall raise in said fiscal year by city and county
taxes levied and assessed for like purposes against taxable property

shall also be made to constitute a sinking fund for the payment of the
principal thereof on or before maturity.

of which they are issued as certified by the Council in the ordinance
calling the bond election, nor for a term to exceed forty years.

Such budget shall be prepared substantially in the same manner and
in such detail as required for the budget of the city and county so far
as the same may be applicable. Upon the adoption of the budget, it

ough in substantially the same degree and in the same manner as the
city and county budget shall be effective and binding upon the city
and county.
The fiscal year of a borough shall be the same as for the city and
county.
Within the time limits fixed by law or by this Charter for the city
and county, the Council may levy a borough tax sufficient to raise the
amount estimated to be required in the annual budget as herein pro-
vided, less the amounts estimated to be received from fines, licenses,
and other sources of revenue; but such levy, exclusive of the tax to pay
the interest and maintain the sinking funds of the bonded indebtedness
of the borough, and exclusive of special assessment and district taxes
and of the library tax, shall not exceed the rate of one dollar on each
one hundred dollars of the assessed valuation of the taxable property
within the borough. Should the Council fail to fix the tax rate within
the time prescribed, then the borough tax rate of the previous year
shall constitute the rate of the current year. The Council, by ordinance,
may provide for a higher tax limit, but such tax limit shall not be
effective unless the ordinance fixing such tax limit shall first have
been approved by a majority of the borough voters voting thereon.
All borough taxes levied, together with interest thereon and any
percentage imposed for delinquency and the cost of collection, which
shall be those prescribed in this Charter for the city and county, shall
constitute liens on the property assessed, which taxes, interest, pen-
alties and charges shall be collected in the same manner as is provided
for the collection of city and county taxes, and which liens may be
foreclosed upon in the same manner as is provided for the foreclosure
of liens for city and county taxes.

Money shall be payable from a borough fund only on warrants drawn
with the approval of the Council by such borough officer as the Council
may authorize, and when countersigned by the Borough Controller.
The manner and time within which deposits of borough moneys
received from taxes, licenses, fees, fines, penalties, forfeitures, and all
moneys accruing to a borough from any source shall be made, the
transfer and disposition of all surplus funds, and the manner in which
borough accounts shall be kept, shall be provided for by ordinance of
the Board of Supervisors, and shall be uniform for all boroughs.
The Council shall not create, audit, or permit to accrue, any debt or
liability in excess of the available money in the borough fund of the
borough that may be legally apportioned and appropriated for such
purpose; provided that taxes levied though uncollected are deemed
available income and revenue for the year for which levied; and pro-
vided, that any borough, during the first year of its existence, may
incur such indebtedness or liability as may be necessary, not exceed-
ing in all the income and revenue provided for it in such year, nor
shall any warrant be drawn, or evidence of indebtedness be issued,
unless there be at the time sufficient money in the borough fund legally
applicable to the payment of the same, except as hereinafter provided.
When any order or demand is presented to the Borough Controller for
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1931 419
approval and such order or demand is a proper and legal order or
demand and the amount of said order or demand does not exceed the
amount of the unexpended and not otherwise appropriated moneys
remaining in the fund out of which said order is payable but where
there are not actual moneys on hand in said fu^id for the payment of
said order or demand, the Borough Controller must indorse thereon the
words, "not approved for want of funds," with the date of presenta-
tion and shall, in attestation thereof, aflBx his signature thereto; and
shall number such indorsement and shall register said order or demand
In the records of his office and shall thereupon deliver said order or
demand to the claimant, or his order. From that time, such order or
demand shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent per annum. Such
orders or demands, so registered as herein provided, shall be paid in
the order in which the same are registered.
All license taxes collected by the city and county within the limits
of any borough shall be credited to the borough fund of such borough
by the Treasurer of the city and county.
Borough Tax Subventions.
Section 21. The Board of Supervisors shall provide by ordinance for
a system of subventions from tax funds of the city and county to
boroughs which expend funds for the maintenance of streets, sewers,
libraries, parks, or playgrounds during any fiscal year; provided that
in no event shall the subvention to any borough either exceed the ag-
gregate amount which such borough shall appropriate out of borough
funds in said fiscal year for said purposes, or exceed the amount which
the city and county shall raise in said fiscal year by city and county
taxes levied and assessed for like purposes against taxable property
within such borough. Such system of subventions may be modified
from time to time by the Board of Supervisors by ordinance, but all
ordinances so providing shall apply generally to all boroughs.
Borough Bonded Indebtedness.
Section 22. A borough may incur an indebtedness, exceeding in any
year the income and revenue provided for such year, for the purposes
of paying the cost of any borough improvement or acquisition within
the power of the borough to make or acquire and may issue and sell
borough bonds for such purposes, provided said indebtedness and bonds
are authorized as herein provided by ordinance or resolution of the
borough pledging tji^ faith and credit of the borough therefor. Such
ordinance or resolution shall be adopted and the proposition for the
issue and sale of such bonds shall be submitted to a vote of the voters
of the borough in substantially the same form and manner and accord-
ing to the same procedure as is provided in this Charter for the issue
and sale of bonds by the city and county, or in the manner and form
and according to the procedure provided in any general law of the
State of California in force at the time governing the issue and sale of
bonds by municipalities, so far as the same may be applicable.
No such debt shall be incurred and no such bonds shall be issued by
any borough without the assent of two-thirds of the voters thereof
voting thereon at an election to be held for that purpose, nor unless
before or at the time of incurring said debt or issuing said bonds
provision shall be made for the collection of an annual tax sufficient
to pay the interest on such debt or bonds as it falls due and provision
shall also be made to constitute a sinking fund for the payment of the
principal thereof on or before maturity.
In no case shall borough bonds be issued for a term which shall
exceed the estimated life of the work or improvement for the payment
of which they are issued as certified by the Council in the ordinance
calling the bond election, nor for a term to exceed forty years.
No bond shall be issued on the faith and credit of the borough which
will increase the bonded indebtedness thereof beyond five per cent of
420 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1931.
the assessed valuation of the property within the borough subject to
direct taxation as shown by the last preceding assessed valuation.
The proceeds from the sale of borough bonds shall be applied exclu-
sively to the purposes and objects to which the voters of the borough
have assented, until such purposes and objects have been accomplished,
after which the surplus, if any, may be transferred to the bond interest
or redemption fund of the borough.
Borough bonds shall not constitute or be a debt or general obligation
of the city and county.
Borough Special Assessments.
Section 23. In the exercise of its power to provide for the payment
of the cost of any public improvement in whole or in part by special
assessment levied against the property benefited thereby, a borough

for a franchise or privilege for the destruction and disposition of
garbage, refuse, waste, offal and debris by incineration in the City
and County of San Francisco;
And whereas, it appears to this Board that the public interest will
be subserved by the grant of a franchise for said purpose; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That this Board, when satisfactory bids are offered, shall
grant a franchise or privilege tor a period of twenty-five years for the
disposal by incineration of all garbage, refuse, offal, waste and debris
as at present collected in the City and County of San Francisco, the
grantee to state in his bid the price per ton for destruction he will
charge the collectors or anyone depositing such garbage, refuse, waste,
offal and debris, delivered to the incineration plant.
That the grantee of this franchise or privilege shall erect a complete
incineration plant, including approaches, within one year from date of
grant, under complete plans and specifications prepared by the City
Engineer for the proposed building and plant.
That the proposed building and plant shall be constructed in accord-
ance therewith, plans and specifications to be obtained from the said
City Engineer by depositing fifty ($50) dollars as a guarantee for the
safe return of such plans and specifications.
That the incineration plant shall be built on a site furnished and
designated by the City and County of San Francisco, rent free to the
successful bidder for the life of the franchise, unless it is purchased
by the City and County of San Francisco during said term.
That the City and County of San Francisco shall have the right to
purchase the plant at the end of any calendar year for a sum to be
fixed by the bidder in his bid, less depreciation, the amount of depre-

Report of City Engineer on Incinerator Plans and Specifications.
February 21, 1931.
Honorable A. J. Rossi, Mayor, and the Board of Supervisors, City and
County of San Francisco, San Francisco, California.
Gentlemen: Pursuant to Resolution No. 33319 (New Series), I trans-
mit herewith my report covering the plans and specifications proposed
by the San Francisco Disposal Company for an incineration franchise.
The plans and specifications submitted include an incinerator of the
Superior Mutual Assistance Type.
In general, I find that the method of receiving and handling the
materials as proposed by the bidder differs entirely from my recom-
mendation. This method was recommended, after careful study, in a
report to your Board and was based on the fact that the best way
of handling San Francisco's garbage and refuse would be by the gravity
system, that is, the scavengers would haul materials to the tipping floor
at a high level and the materials would then gravitate through the
plant.
The type of plant submitted by the bidder utilizes a crane and bucket
for elevating materials to the charging floor. By reason of this impor-
tant difference in the handling of materials, the entire area and size of
the building are influenced. As stated in my previous report, I have
opposed this type of construction as being insanitary. The operation
by crane and bucket tends to scatter the materials on the stoking floor.
The arrangement of the tipping floor and the pit is such that expe-
ditious movement of trucks is limited, causing delays.
I find from my examination of the plans that all details of the plant
are limited in size and reduced to the absolute minimum. The arrange-
ment of the plant allows for no future extensions of buildings or fur-
naces.
In the matter of guarantees the specifications mention items of per-
formance which the bidder should guarantee, but nowhere in the pro-
438 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1931.
posal does he definitely guarantee their fulfillment. I very particularly
stress the following items in my specifications which have been evaded.
The capacity of the furnaces has been increased up to an inflated
rating of 200 tons each. Four furnaces are to be used and only two
chimneys. By putting in these large units the plant would be seriously
crippled on the repairing of either furnace or chimney, and materials
would have to be hauled away from the incinerator, as there is not suf-
ficent storage space available.
The grate area of the proposed furnaces is identical with that of
the Chicago Goose Island Incinerator, except that the Chicago furnace
had four cells, and five cells are proposed for that of San Francisco.
The acceptance test of the Goose Island plant gave the tonnage rate
in 24 hours as 121.8 tons. Thus, allowing another 30 tons for the
added cell, would give each furnace, as proposed by the bidder, a maxi-
mum capacity of 150 tons in 24 hours, or a possible maximum of 600
tons for the entire plant, as compared to the capacity of 800 tons in
24 hours called for.
The storage pit as proposed will accommodate, without rehandling
the materials, not more than 400 tons, as compared to the provisions
in my plans for 2,000 tons.
The arrangement of handling materials does not permit or allow of
any space for salvage of materials, or a clean and convenient method
of disposing of the large, non-combustible materials.
It is absolutely imperative in the new plant that the disposal of the
ash into the cars shall be confined within the walls of the plant, so that
all objections from ad.iacent property owners will be removed. The
bidder's plan does not adequately take care of this condition.
In the design, according to my plans, the incinerator plant, from all
outside appearances, could not be distinguished from any type of fac-
tory, as adequate room is provided to cover every operation within the
building. In fact, the building, even during the period of maximum
load condition, would not cause any nuisance and would be an im-
provement to the district.
In the bidder's plan one whole side of the building would be open,
and no provision has been made for closing. The offensive results of
any operations or conditions inside the building, such as dust, odors,
and even noise, could very easily penetrate to the outside.
Inasmuch as my examination shows that the general arrangement
and characteristics of the bidder's plans are almost identical with the
Superior Plant at Chicago, with only some very slight differences, it
is fair to assume that the cost of operation should be somewhat analo-
gous. Extracts from the Fifty-fourth Annual Report of the Bureau of
Public Works of Chicago show the cost of incineration, exclusive of
overhead charges and plant write-off, as $1.87 a ton, operating on a
321-ton basis per day.
In my report and observations of 1929 the Engineer of the City of
New York gave the operating cost of the Chicago plant as $1.83 per
ton. These cost reports indicate also that coal is necessary to be used.
The percentage of ash and non-combustible materials, after burning,
amounted to an average of 18^/^ per cent.
It is only plausible to infer that under garbage collection conditions
in San Francisco the percentage of furnace ash would run from 15 to
20 per cent, unless a considerable amount of non-combustible materials
be taken out of the garbage before it enters the plant. Such require-
ments may be the intent of the bidder, as is evident from statements
made in his proposal.
According to the terms of Section 48 of the Specifications, which the
bidder expressly states are a part of his proposal, the City is bound to
force the scavengers to deliver all refuse collected, including paper,
bottles and other materials that are now salvaged by the collectors.
This would result in a violent protest from the scavengers, a demand
for segregation of refuse by the householder, and for adjustment of
present collection charges. There is no doubt that at the present time
the salvaging of materials from the collections makes it possible for
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1931. 439
the scavengers to conduct their business at the present rates and to
operate the present City-owned incinerator at the $1 a ton rate.
It may readily be seen that under this arraugenaent the City, through
the Board of Health, will be bound to take away from the scavengers
a large part of their present revenue and to turn it over to the fran-
chise holder.
The revenue from the salvage materials during the term of the fran-
chise will probably pay all fixed charges on the plant and repay the
bidder for the cost of building the incinerator. This may explain why
the bidder is willing to operate for $1 a ton.
I would bring to your attention the expense and trouble which will
most certainly be entailed by the City in attempting to enforce this
part of the contract.
The most important part of any contract that the City enters into
on any class of work, and virtually the only pledge that it has for the
proper enforcement and fulfillment of the contract, is the guarantee
attached thereto.
The bidder's specifications, which are a part of his proposal, prac-
tically eliminates all the essential requirements that I had incorporated
in my specifications to insui'e that the City would have value received,
and that upon its completion, the plant would not be a nuisance and
operate efficiently.
Neither the bond nor the proposal in any way binds the contractor
to produce a plant that will actually burn SOO tons of San Francisco's
garbage in 24 hours. The bond only binds the bidder to dispose of,
by incineration, all garbage and refuse collected in the City, and to
build an incinerator of 800 tons' capacity, but it does not bind him in
any way in regard to the construction or operation of said incinerator.
The test proposed by the bidder eliminates the provisions which I
incorporated in my specifications to insure proof of capacity to dis-
pose of the 800 tons daily under regular working conditions.
Although your Board has already been advised of some of the items
in the bidder's proposal, I cannot refrain from dwelling again on the
inconsistencies that would cause confusion and trouble to your admin-
istration. The omission of the final disposal of ash from the car to
the dump, or other place of disposal, places the City in the position of
entering into additional contracts for this purpose, thereby imposing
on the taxpayers an additional charge, now borne by the scavengers.
The reference in the bidder's proposal to the garbage being burned
"other than non-combustibles" is rather indefinite, and might put the
bidder in the position of being able to refuse to receive at the plant
certain non-combustible materials, which would probably be added to
the ash for disposal at the City's expense.
The further provision that the bidder is to receive $900,000 for the
complete plant at the end of any calendar year, without depreciation,
would place the City in the position of paying $900,000 for a depreci-
ated plant at the end of 25 years. I have made an estimate of the plant,
covered by the bidder's plans and specifications, and I find that it
would cost not over $550,000.
It may be said that many of the objections mentioned in this report
can be taken care of in the ordinance granting franchise, but I spe-
cifically call your attention to the last sentence on page two of the
proposal :
"The Company agrees to comply with all the requirements
and conditions set forth in said Resolution No. 33570 and the
advertisement dated December 10, 1930, not in conflict here-
with."
There are further legal difficulties, of which your Board is fully
aware, as pointed out to you by Mr. Dold, Assistant City Attorney.
The delay incident to a lawsuit, demanded by the bidder at the City's
expense, to establish the legality of the proceedings, eatails further
complications.
With the bidder holding an exclusive franchise for disposal the City
440 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24. 1931.
will be indefinitely prevented from doing anything to mitigate the
nuisance of the present incinerator.
I can readily predict that if this franchise is granted to the bidder
we will have a repetition of the disagreeable proceedings and costly
lawsuits that were involved in the construction of the abandoned in-
cinerator on Kansas and Army streets.
In view of the above statements and the fact that the propo-sal and
included specifications are worded in so many places in vague and
elusive terms which would involve the City in endless disputes and
controversies, I do not think it would be advisable or to the best in-
terest of the City to award a franchise to the San Francisco Disposal
Company.
Very truly yours,
M. M. O'SHAUGHNESSY,
City Engineer.

approved by a majority of the borough voters voting thereon. The City
Manager of a city automatically established as a borough shall continue
to hold such office as Borough Manager until removed by the Council
and the Council may appoint his successor.
The Borough Manager shall be chosen by the Council without regard

Council may designate some qualified person to perform the duties of
the office temporarily.
No member of the Council shall in any manner, directly or indirectly,
by suggestion or otherwise, attempt to influence or coerce the Borough
Manager in making of any appointment or the purchase of supplies, or
attempt to exact any promise relative to any appointment from any
candidate for Borough Manager, or discuss, directly or indirectly, with
any such candidate, the matter of appointments to borough offices or

The enacting clause of all borough ordinances shall be as follows:
"The people of the Borough of — (inserting the name of the bor-
ough) of the City and County of San Francisco do ordain as follows."
No ordinance shall be passed by the Council on the day of its introduc-
tion, nor within five days thereafter, nor at any time other than a
regular meeting. A proposed ordinance may be amended or modified
between the time of its introduction and the time of its final passage,
providing its general scope and original purpose are retained. All ordi-
nances shall be signed by the President and attested by the Borough
Clerk and shall be published at least once in some newspaper of gen-
eral circulation established, printed and published in the borough, and
if there be no such newspaper they shall be posted in at least three
public places in the borough before becoming effective.
Every ordinance passed by a Council shall go into effect at the expira-
tion of thirty days after its final passage, unless otherwise provided in
said ordinance and as otherwise provided herein. Ordinances declared
by the Council to be necessary as emergency measures for the imme-
diate preservation of public peace, health, safety, or welfare, containing
a statement of the reasons for their urgency, and ordinances ordering
or otherwise relating to elections, and ordinances relating to public
improvements, the cost of which is to be borne wholly or in part by

Borough Fiscal Procedure.
Section 20. Within the time limits fixed by this Charter for the
preparation and adoption of the budget of the city and county, every
borough shall cause to be prepared and shall adopt a borough budget
which shall be a complete statement of the estimate of the revenues
and expenditures of the borough departments for the ensuing year.
Such budget shall be prepared substantially in the same manner and
in such detail as required for the budget of the city and county so far
as the same may be applicable. Upon the adoption of the budget, it
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1931. 461
shall take effect at the same time and shall he hindlng upon the bor-
ough in substantially the same degree and in the same manner as the
city and county budget shall be effective and binding upon the city
and county.
The fiscal year of a borough shall be the same as for the city and
county.
Within the time limits fixed by law or by this Charter for the city
and coimty, the Council may levy a borough tax sufficient to raise the
amount estimated to be required in the annual budget as herein pro-
vided, less the amounts estimated to be received from fines, licenses,
and other sources of revenue; but such levy, exclusive of the tax to pay
the interest and maintain the sinking funds of the bonded indebtedness
of the borough, and exclusive of special assessment and district taxes
and of the library tax, shall not exceed the rate of one dollar on each
one hundred dollars of the assessed valuation of the taxable property
within the borough. Should the Council fail to fix the tax rate within
the time prescribed, then the borough tax rate of the previous year
shall constitute the rate of the current year. The Council, by ordinance,
may provide for a higher tax limit, but such tax limit shall not be
effective unless the ordinance fixing such tax limit shall first have
been approved by a majority of the borough voters voting thereon.
All borough taxes levied, together with interest thereon and any
percentage imposed for delinquency and the cost of collection, which
shall be those prescribed in this Charter for the city and county, shall
constitute liens on the property assessed, which taxes, interest, pen-
alties and charges shall be collected in the same manner as is provided
for the collection of city and county taxes, and which liens may be
foreclosed upon in the same manner as is provided for the foreclosure
of liens for city and county taxes.
All borough taxes shall be levied on the valuation of the taxable
property within the borough as shall be fixed by the Assessor of the
city and county for city and county tax purposes.
There shall be a borough fund for each borough. All borough taxes
shall be collected by the Tax Collector of the city and county and shall
be paid into the city and county treasury to the credit of the borough
concerned, together with all revenues of a borough received from fines,
licenses, and other sources of revenue, except as otherwise provided.
Money shall be payable from a borough fund only on wairants drawn
with the approval of the Council by such borough officer as the Coimcil
may authorize, and when countersigned by the Borough Controller.
The manner and time within which deposits of borough moneys
received from taxes, licenses, fees, fines, penalties, forfeitures, and all
moneys accruing to a borough from any source shall be made, the
transfer and disposition of all surplus funds, and the manner in which
borough accounts shall be kept, shall be provided for by ordinance of
the Board of Supervisors, and shall be uniform for all boroughs.
The Council shall not create, audit, or permit to accrue, any debt or
liability in excess of the available money in the borough fund of the
borough that may be legally apportioned and appropriated for such
purpose; provided that taxes levied though uncollected are deemed
available income and revenue for the year for which levied; and pro-
vided, that any borough, during the first year of its existence, may
incur such indebtedness or liability as may be necessary, not exceed-
ing in all the income and revenue provided for it in such year, nor
shall any warrant be drawn, or evidence of indebtedness be issued,
unless there be at the time sufficient money in the borough fund legally
applicable to the payment of the same, except as hereinafter provided.
When any order or demand is presented to the Borough Controller for
approval and such order or demand is a proper and legal order or
demand and the amount of said order or demand does not exceed the
amount of the unexpended and not otherwise appropriated moneys
remaining in the fund out of which said order is payable but where
462 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1931.
there are not actual moneys on hand in said fund for the payment of
said order or demand, the Borough Controller must indorse thereon the
words, "not approved for want of fimds," with the date of presenta-
tion and shall, in attestation thereof, affix his signature thereto; and
shall number such indorsement and shall register said order or demand
in the records of his office and shall thereupon deliver said order or
demand to the claimant, or his order. From that time, such order or
demand shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent per annum. Such
orders or demands, so registered as herein provided, shall be paid in
the order in which the same are registered.
All license taxes collected by the city and county within the limits
of any borough shall be credited to the borough fund of such borough
by the Treasurer of the city and county.
Borough Tax Subventions.
Section 21. The Board of Supervisors shall provide by ordinance for
a system of subventions from tax funds of the city and county to
boroughs which expend funds for the maintenance of streets, sewers,
libraries, parks, or playgrounds during any fiscal year; provided that
in no event shall the subvention to any borough either exceed the ag-
gregate amount which such borough shall appropriate out of borough
funds in said fiscal year for said purposes, or exceed the amount which
the city and county shall raise in said fiscal year by city and county
taxes levied and assessed for like purposes against taxable property
within such borough. Such system of subventions may be modified
from time to time by the Board of Supervisors by ordinance, but all
ordinances so providing shall apply generally to all boroughs.
Borough Bonded Indebtedness.
Section 22. A borough may incur an indebtedness, exceeding in any
year the income and revenue provided for such year, for the purposes
of paying the cost of any borough improvement or acquisition within
the power of the borough to make or acquire and may issue and sell
borough bonds for such purposes, provided said indebtedness and bonds
are authorized as herein provided by ordinance or resolution of the
borough pledging the faith and credit of the borough therefor. Such
ordinance or resolution shall be adopted and the proposition for the
issue and sale of such bonds shall be submitted to a vote of the voters
of the borough in substantially the same form and manner and accord-
ing to the same procedure as is provided in this Charter for the issue
and sale of bonds by the city and county, or in the manner and form
and according to the procedure provided in any general law of the
State of California in force at the time governing the issue and sale of
bonds by municipalities, so far as the same may be applicable.
No such debt shall be incurred and no such bonds shall be issued by
any borough without the assent of two-thirds of the voters thereof
voting thereon at an election to be held for that purpose, nor unless
before or at the time of incurring said debt or issuing said bonds
provision shall be made for the collection of an annual tax sufficient
to pay the interest on such debt or bonds as it falls due and provision
shall also be made to constitute a sinking fund for the payment of the
principal thereof on or before maturity.
In no case shall borough bonds be issued for a term which shall
exceed the estimated life of the work or improvement for the payment
of which they are issued as certified by the Council in the ordinance
calling the bond election, nor for a term to exceed forty years.
No bond shall be issued on the faith and credit of the borough which
will increase the bonded indebtedness thereof beyond five per cent of
the assessed valuation of the property within the borough subject to
direct taxation as shown by the last preceding assessed valuation.
The proceeds from the sale of borough bonds shall be applied exclu-
sively to the purposes and objects to which the voters of the borough
have assented, until such purposes and objects have been accomplished.

of the city and county.
Borough Special Assessments.
Section 23. In the exercise of its power to provide for the payment
of the cost of any public improvement in whole or in part by special
assessment levied against the property benefited thereby, a borough
acting through its Council may establish local improvement districts
and levy and collect special assessments and reassessments to pay the
costs and expenses of such improvements, which expenses shall be
made and assessments levied and collected in conformity with the pro-
cedure set forth in this Charter for the city and county, or with the
procedure set forth in any ordinance passed or adopted thereunder, or
with the procedure set forth in any one or more of the general laws of
the State of CaJifornia in force at the time of the improvement relating
to the doing of public work or the making of public improvements in
municipalities or in coimties, so far as the same may be applicable.
The Council may provide in accordance with the procedure set forth in
said Charter or said ordinance or general law or laws for the issuance,
sale, payment and redemption of interest bearing bonds to represent
or to be secured by such assessments or any reassessments remaining
unpaid after a certain period, either singly or in the aggregate, and
may provide that such assessments or reassessments may be paid in
installments and be collected in the same manner in which city and
county taxes are collected or otherwise, and for the sale of lands bur-
dened by such assessments or reassessments and for the purchase of
same on behalf of the borough in event of nonpayment, and may pro-
vide other or alternative methods for such collection by foreclosure or
otherwise. Such work or improvements are any permitted to be done
by boroughs under this Charter or by the city and county or by any
such procedure, ordinance or general law.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Supervisors
from establishing similar local improvement districts where the same
shall cover territory in two or more boroughs or paits thereof, or cover
territory lying partly within and partly without a borough, or from
levying and collecting special assessments and reassessments to pay
the cost and expenses of such local public improvements.

paper of general circulation established, printed and published in the
city and coimty.
Any newspaper of general circulation which for one year next prior

ployees of the borough, the Council shall enter into an agreement with
the Civil Service Commission of the city and county for the adminis-
tration of the Civil Service system of the borough, and it shall provide

borough officers or employees from the borough Civil Service system
except in the case of elective borough officers, appointees to any bor-
ough board or commission not required to give full-time service, and
the Borough Manager, if any. Such ordinance may also provide that
any borough officer or employee, who shall be subject to the borough

by the city and county and city and county officers and employees.
The right of borough officers and employees to participate in such a
retirement system, the manner in which they may participate, and the
benefits they may enjoy, shall be those provided by the employees'
retirement system for officers and employees of the city and county.
In any such ordinance it may be provided that any officer or em-
ployee participating in its benefits shall receive credit for his prior
continuous full-time service to the borough and/or to the city auto-
matically established as such borough, and all liabilities accruing under
such system because of such prior service shall be met by the borough.

Granting Further Land in Civic Center to United States
Government.
Bill No. 9432, Ordinance No. (New Series), as follows:
Agreeing to a further grant to the United States of America, a site
situate in the Civic Center of the City and County of San Francisco,
and determining the size thereof, and authorizing the Mayor of the
City and County of San Francisco, and the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors thereof to execute and deliver to the United States of
America a deed conveying to the United States of America the herein-
after described real property, all pursuant to the provisions of Section
10-A of Chapter II, Article II of the Charter of the City and County
of San Francisco.
Whereas, pursuant to Section 10-A of Chapter II, Article II
of the Charter of the City and County of San Francisco, the Board of
Supervisors has heretofore caused to be conveyed to the United States
of America a certain piece or parcel of land situate in the Civic Center
in the City and County of San Francisco; and
Whereas, the property heretofore granted is inadequate, and it is
deemed necessary and to the best interests of the City and County of
San Francisco and the United States of America that an additional
piece or parcel of land contiguous to and adjoining said grant hereto-
fore made and above referred to be conveyed by said City and County
of San Francisco to said United States of America in order that the
general scheme of buildings in said Civic Center be adhered to, and
that additional building space be provided; and
Whereas, the hereinafter described real property is situate within
the locality described in said section of said Charter, is owned by the
said City and County of San Francisco and is unoccupied by any
building or structure belonging to the said City and County of San
Francisco.
Now, therefore,
Be it ordained by the People of the City and County of San Fran-
cisco as follows:
Section 1. The Board of Supervisors of the City and Coimty of
San Francisco hereby determines that the size and site of said lands
to be conveyed to the said United States of America should be as
hereinafter set forth.
Section 2. That the City and County of San Francisco does hereby
offer the hereinafter described real property to the United States of
America, without any monetary consideration and in addition to the

relating to the registration of vehicles.
Requires a certification from the Assessor that vehicle is or has been
assessed before a renewal of the license can be obtained. No change in
the present exemptions.

A. B. 241 (Gillett) — An act to amend Section 11 of the Juvenile Court
Law relating to inmates of Whittier, Preston, and California School for
Girls by changing the rate payable by counties for said inmates.

as revised, become the estimate or budget of the school district upon
which the Board of Supervisors shall base the tax levy for the purpose
of raising the amount which such budget or estimate indicates must be
raised by tax levied upon the taxable property within the district. All
such estimates or budgets shall be submitted to the Board of Supervisors
on or before the twentieth day of July of each year.
Sections 4.401 and 4.402, relate to districts other than San Francisco.
538 MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1931.
Charities.
(Statement: There are approximately ten bills introduced affecting
Chapter 529 of the Statutes of 1929, entitled "An Act to provide for needy
blind persons not inmates of any institution supported in whole or in
part by the State or any of its political subdivisions, making appropria-
tion therefor and providing penalties for violations of the provisions of
the Act." This is the first opportunity for amendments to be submitted
since the act was adopted at the last session of the Legislature, conse-
quently the amendments advocated embrace provisions which merely
clarify the present act while others advocate radical changes which
would place tremendous burdens on the county. The officials adminis-
tering and enforcing these acts have not, to my knowledge, any repre-
sentation in Sacramento. It therefore becomes incumbent upon the
individual counties to diligently watch proposed legislation amending
these acts. Miss Schenck, of the County Welfare Department, considers
the time inopportune to advocate or endorse amendments that would
change the general working scheme of the present act. The possibilities
of increasing the burdens of San Francisco through this class of legisla-
tion are numerous.)
A. B. 1203 (Oliva); A. B. 1194 (Gilmore) — Acts amending Section
2289 of the Political Code relating to orphan aid.
Provides that the age limit for orphans eligible to receive aid be ex-
tended from 16 to 18 years of age. Statistics from the County Welfare
Board indicate this would require an annual increase in the present
appropriation of $24,000.
A. B. 9G6 (Clowdsley)— An act to amend Section 4099a of the Political
Code relating to orphans and half orphans in computing their accounts.
Provides that the Auditor shall receive 2 per cent of the money ad-
ministered through his office in payment of orphan and half orphan aid
as compensation for handling said accounts. Section 4099a now provides
that the Auditor shall receive a reasonable amount for such services.
In accordance with this section San Francisco appropriates $3,000. The
moneys handled by the Auditor in administering this orphan aid amount
to approximately $1,000,000, which means that if 2 per cent were allowed
as compensation for handling this sum of money the additional expense
to San Francisco would be exorbitant.

Report of Legislative Committee on Bills Affecting San Francisco
and Pending Before the Legislature.
After the transaction of other business, the following proceedings
were had in connection with a report by the chairman of the Legis-
lative Committee on legislation now pending in the Legislature which
affects the City and County of San Francisco.
Supervisor Peyser acted as chairman of the meeting in the absence
of the Mayor.
THE CHAIRMAN: If there is no objection. Supervisor Shannon
will be excused. There being no objection, such is the order.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Mr. Chairman, members of the Board:
I have the legislative digest here, and there are over 2900 bills, but
there are only six bills that our clerk has reported upon which affect
this Board. I have the digest of them, and I will read it to you, and
I will give the report of the committee, and I think we can come
to a conclusion on them rather rapidly.
The first bill is a constitutional amendment introduced by Assembly-
man Fisher. I will read it:
Property owned or controlled by any political subdivision of the
State for supplying the public with light, heat, power, transportation,
telegraph or telephone service, shall be assessed and taxed in the
same manner and for the same purposes as like property held by pri-
vate corporations. Any utility, publicly or privately owned, of the
classes enumerated, or subjected to the tax measured by the income,
shall be allowed a deduction therefrom for taxes on receipts on
account of sales and delivery of service to any other utility.
Members of the Board, this bill simply means this, that our Munici-
pal Railway will have to pay taxes, and if it has to pay taxes this
year to the State it means we will have to pay something like $151,956,
and the committee recommends against this bill.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I move the adoption of the com-
mittee report.
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: I second the motion.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objection? Hearing none, such
will be the order.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Thank you.
Now, the second bill. This bill was introduced by the entire San
Francisco delegation, and the committee makes no. report on it. It
is a bill that calls for an increase in the salary of the twelve municipal
judges from $6,000 to $9,000 a year, and that means an increase in
the taxes, or at least in the budget, of $36,000 a year. The committee
felt that it should not make any direct report, and that it should first
ask the advice of the Board.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I move that the committee be di-
rected to make a recommendation.
THE CHAIRMAN: What Is the pleasure of the Board?
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I move that the committee be directed
to make a recommendation.
i
MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1931. 629
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: The motion has not been seconded.
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: No, there is no second. Will Supervisor
Gallagher agree to vote according to the recommendation of the com-
mittee?
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: No, I will not tie myself to you
or any one else, but I want to say this to you very frankly, that I
don't know why you are stopping here, and why you don't make a
recommendation. Your Finance Committee has sent notice to every
department head in the City that there shall be no raises in salaries —
janitors, watchmen, and all other employees. All of these department
heads are told: "Don't bring in any salary raises." Now, you get a
proposition which means one cent in the tax rate, and you walk on
tacks. What's the idea? Do you think the judges ought to get a
raise? If you think they are entitled to it, recommend the bill; if you
don't think it is right, recommend against it. I haven't read the
bill, and don't know how much the raise is
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: Supervisor McSheehy, the chairman of the
committee gave you the increase.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: May I just add a word here— that we
have in Sacramento the clerk of our Legislative Committee, a young
attorney who is doing very good work there, and by the way, I have
received very flattering reports regarding his work. He is col-
laborating with Mr. Kenny, from Los Angeles, and also with the man
from Alameda County. Those three men represent the three largest
counties in the State, and they are working together, and if we
instruct Mr. Moran, and you instruct this committee, we are positively
going to make every effort we can to follow out your instructions, and
Mr. Moran will do likewise. Your instructions will carry great weight
with them, so we thought on this particular bill we would await your
instructions. The committee felt that we did not want to take upon
ourselves the making of a recommendation in this particular case.
For one reason, the entire San Francisco delegation voted this in-
crease. I realize as well as anybody on this Board that we are the
custodians of the funds and the rights of the people of this City, and
also that this entire raise in salary is going to reflect itself in our
tax rate, so we ask your instructions. If you want to lay it over a
week we have no objection to that.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I ask that the committee make a
recommendation.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: I move that the matter be left in the
hands of the committee.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER : With a request that it make a recom-
mendation.
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: Mr. Chairman, if I may, I don't think
it is advisable to make any raises at all. In the first place, we have
adopted the attitude in regard to every department in the City gov-
ernment to not recommend any salary increases at this time. Now,
without stopping to consider the question as to whether or not the
judges are entitled to higher pay, we must take into consideration the
economic conditions which exist now. They have an advantage, all
: employees of the City, State and nation have a great advantage in
linot having suffered in income and in not having their salaiies cut on
account of the business conditions which have existed, and I feel
that they must bear with the general situation to that extent, and be
content with exising condiions before any raise should be given. I
feel that if we are going to deny it to our own — and I think in a
"broad way they are our own— I think under present conditions we
should not vote raises in salary to anybody at all. The committee
may not take my views, but I would vote against any increases at this
particular time. I realize fully that no doubt the judges are entitled
to more money, but I don't think this is the proper time to ask for it.
SUPERVISOR HAVENNER: I should like to call the attention of
630 MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1931.
the members of the Legislative Committee that previous Governors
have agreed with San Francisco, and I suppose other counties, that
they would not approve any bill which would create a salary charge,
or, rather, create taxes which would have to be paid by the particular
county, unless it was recommended by the proper board of the
respective county affected, and I respectfully recommend that the
Legislative Committee of this Board call upon the Governor and
apprize him of the fact that previous Governors have entered into
such an agreement — that they would not approve any salary raises
passed by the Legislature unless such salary raises had been recom-
mended by the responsible board elected by the people of the county
affected. I move that the Legislative Committee be instructed to
call upon his Honor the Governor and advise him of this precedent and
request him to enter into the same agreement with San Francisco.
SUPERVISORS GALLAGHER and COLMAN: Second the motion.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objection? There being none,
such will be the order.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I would like to make a motion, Mr.
Chairman, since the subject-matter is before us. That our Legis-
lative Committee — there is just one exception on the whole list, and
that is the sealer of weights and measures in San Francisco. If there
ever was a man who deserved a raise that is the one exception — except-
ing the sealer of weights and measures. I move you, Mr. Chairman,
that our Legislative Committee stand instructed to advise our dele-
gation in Sacramento and the Governor that we are opposed to any
measure in the Legislature calculated to directly increase the tax
burden on the people of San Francisco.
SUPERVISOR HAVENNER: I second that motion.
THE CHAIRMAN: If there is no objection, it is so ordered.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I except the sealer of weights and
measures for my own part on that.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: The third matter before us
SUPERVISOR HAVENNER: Does that also include the Soiperior
judges?
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: May I, just in passing, separate these
two amounts? There are sixteen Superior Court judges, increased
from $9,000 to $12,000, amounting to $48,000 a year the City of San
Francisco would have to pay.
SUPERVISOR SPAULDING: For a year?
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Forever.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: $48,000 per year.
The third bill was introduced by Assemblyman "Williamson, and
authorizes the City of San Francisco to grant franchises for the dis-
posal of garbage and other waste; it simply means that legislative
bodies and public units are authorized to advertise for bids and award
franchises to the highest bidder for the disposition of garbage and
other waste, and granting the power to the grantor and grantee. This
simply means, members of the Board, that under the Broughton Act,
under which we are now acting, that it is a very difficult thing to do
that. That is the opinion of our City Attorney, and our City At-
torney, Mr. O'Toole, through his associate, Mr. Dold, drew up this bill
and submitted it to Assemblyman Williamson. The committee is in
favor of it. It is simply the creation of an act making legal the
granting of franchises of this nature.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: So long as it does not affect our
right to determine the garbage question as quickly as possible, and
determine our position.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: It strengthens it under this act.
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: It is merely an enabling act.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: The committee recommends in favor
of it and asks to be instructed in that way.
SUPERVISOR HAVENNER: I so move.
MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1931. 631
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: Second the motion.
THE CHAIRMAN: If there is no objection, such will be the order.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Under the next act the entire expense
of maintenance of same to be borne out of harbor improvement funds
instead of one-half by the City and one-half by the harbor funds. This
bill was presented by Mr. Olivia, and the committee feels that it has
considerable merit to it, as it means a saving of $90,000 to the City,
and we recommend that it be passed. This is in reference to the
harbor bill for fire boats.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: That is the bill providing for fire boats?
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Yes.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: I move the committee's report be ap-
proved.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objection to the committee's report
on this bill? If not, the same will be accepted and approved.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Now, the next one, the next one is
the one we have just taken up in connection with the municipal
judges, only this is for the Superior Court judges, and that will take
the same course, I presume, as suggested by Supervisor Gallagher.
The next is a bill submitted by Senators Nelson, Jones, Deuel,
McKinley and Breese. This bill is a bill in reference to the position
of the Board of Supervisors with the Board of Education, "such esti-
mates or budgets to be submitted to the Board of Supervisors on or
before July 20th of each year may be revised by the Board, but the
total amount may not be increased. When a school district com-
prising two or more counties," and so on.
This bill simply means this Board will have certain jurisdiction
over the Board of Education. For instance, the Board of Education
will bring in a building program for $2,000,000, and if this Board
feels it is excessive, they can cut it down to $1,500,000 or $1,125,000
or $1,000,000, if they see fit. You cannot increase the estimate of the
Board of Education, but you can cut it down, and that is what this
bill provides. This bill was not presented by any of our local men;
it is submitted by various people — Senators Nelson, Breese, Jones,
Deuel and McKinley. It is Senate Bill No. 785.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Have they had a committee hearing on
that yet?
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Not that I know of. This is an im-
portant bill, and I know that Supervisor Colman and possibly some
others may want to say something about it, and there might be some
difference of opinion, and if you want the matter to go over for a week
I have no objection. I do say this, that the committee favors the
passage of this bill.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: This bill provides that the Board
of Education submit to the Board of Supervisors their estimates?
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Yes.
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: Of course, there would have to be an
amendment to the State Constitution. Personally I will vote no, but
I would like to have it go over for a week.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objection to it going over for one
week?
SUPERVISOR MILES : I would, too.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: I have no objection, so that the mem-
bers of the Board may be apprized entirely of its meaning. It is a
very important bill.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: And I wish you would see that we all
get copies of it.
THE CHAIRMAN: If there is no objection, the matter will go over
one week.
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: They may have a meeting of the Senate
committee on this particular bill on the coming "Wednesday.
632 MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1931.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: If they do, you can ask them to
refrain from action.
THE CHAIRMAN: If there is no objection, such will be the order,
and the matter will go over for one week.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Here is the information and here is
the bill and here is a lot of data, and I will ask the Clerk to send
this entire data to every member of the Board.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: How many more bills, not right
away, but do you think you will have to report on?
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Quite a number.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER : Mr. Chairman, I move you that until
such time as the Legislative Committee completes its report, that the
hour of 4 o'clock on every Monday be set aside for this committee
to report to and obtain our attitude on any bills pending in the Legis-
lature affecting San Francisco.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Second the motion.
THE CHAIRMAN: If there is no objection, such will be the order.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Thank you.
Relative to the Purchase of Additional Water From the East Bay
District.
Supervisor Havenner called attention to the fact that the Board of
Public Works was about to purchase an additional quantity of water
from the East Bay Utility District and had indicated that there was
no necessity for the approval of the Board of Supervisors for said
additional expenditure under the operating ordinance, whereupon he
moved that the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors be directed to ascer-
tain from the Board of Public Works whether or not its recommenda-
tion will be submitted to this Board for its approval, and if not, that
the opinion of the City Attorney be asked whether the appropriation
of this amount of money or any amount of money for said purpose
can be made by the Board of Public Works without the approval of
the Board of Supervisors.
So ordered.

cellaneous matters in connection with the laying of the pipe.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEIHY: I am going to ask that No. 38 on the
Calendar be postponed for two weeks, and that copies of the contract
as appear on the Calendar and copies of these questions and answers
be sent to every member of the Board, to every individual member of
this Board, and I would ask that during the two weeks, the Public
Utilities Committee, if they feel that they can, insert riders into these
contracts, so as to provide that all the labor can be done by local
labor. I think they ought to do it, especially as conditions in our
city are such that we have recently been obliged to bond our city for
two and one-half million dollars to provide employment for our citi-
zens. Why not employ our own citizens; why go to employment of-
fices and employ citizens residing in other counties, and perhaps not
even citizens of the United States? That, of course, I do not know,
but I do know that has been the practice in the past, and you can
insert clauses in the contract, I am almost positive of that, with the
assistance of our City Attorney. Therefore, at this time, gentlemen,
and I hope I receive a second, I am going to move that the further
consideration of No. 38 on the Calendar be postponed for two weeks.
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: I will second it.

ern, no; McSheehy, aye; Miles, no; Peyser, absent; Power, absent;
Roncovieri, no; Shannon, aye; Spaulding, absent; Stanton, no; Suhr,

THE CLERK: Ten noes and four ayes, and four absent.
THE CHAIR: The motion is lost.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: With the permission of the Com-
mittee, or the author, and I hope not to embarrass the maker of the
ordinance, in Section One, which reads as follows: "The Board of
Public Works is hereby directed to obtain from the City Engineer
plans, specifications and estimates of cost on the construction of a
pipe line across San Joaquin Valley for the purpose of conveying
water across the said valley from the Oakdale Portal to the Tesla
Portal of the Hetch Hetchy water project." I would move the inclu-
sion of the following: "And the Board of Public Works and the City
Engineer herein referred to are herewith pledged to include in all
specifications prepared and approved by the City Attorney which shall
insure, if possible, local manufacture for the materials used, and rigid
provisions for the employment of local labor in so far as possible on
the entire job." If that language is out of order, for some legal reason
MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931. 661
or other, or from some other point of view, all right. I realize that
may not be the exact legal phraseology, but I make that as a motion.
SUPERVISOR STANTON: Second the motion.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: This might be illuminating for you,
the Charter itself states: "Every contract for work to be performed
within the State of California at the expense of the City and County
or paid for out of moneys deposited in the treasury, whether such
work is to be done within or outside the limits of the City and County,
and whether such work be done directly by or under such contract
duly awarded, or indirectly by or under subcontract, subpartnership,
day labor, station work, piece work, or any other arrangement what-
soever, must provide:" Notice, it says, "must provide." Then it says:
"That in the performance of the contract, eight hours shall be the
maximum hours of labor on any calendar day, and that the minimum
wages or compensation of persons performing labor in the execution
of such contract, subcontract, subpartnership, day labor, station work,
piece work or other arrangement, shall be three dollars per day."
That provision for three dollars a day, of course, is out. "(2) That
any person performing labor in the execution of such contract shall
be a citizen of the United States or have declared his intention of
becoming such; (3) that preference in the performance of labor un-
der such contract, or other arrangement, shall be given to persons
who shall have actually resided in the City and County and shall
have so resided for a period of one year next preceding the date of
their engagement to perform labor thereunder. The foregoing pro-
visions designated (1), (2) and (3) must also apply to persons per-
forming labor in the commissary or other auxiliary department of
labor conducted in the course of the execution of such contract or
any part thereof; and the said provisions shall also apply to any work
done for or by City and County or by any officer, board or commission
thereof, when such work is to be done at the expense of the City and
County or paid for out of moneys deposited in the treasury," and so
forth.
I don't want to hog-tie the measure at this moment, but I do want
to get the consent of every one that it will be made as rigid as pos-
sible. If that language is out of order, perhaps we could get it from
the City Attorney.
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: If you would suggest whatever language
the City Attorney thinks is legal, in other words, we are willing to
do all we can to safeguard the employment of San Francisco labor on
this project.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Would this provision be all right,
that the specifications^ — ^"And be it provided that the specifications
when prepared shall contain rigid provisions for the employment of
local labor wherever possible, and preference for home industry in
the contracts so awarded."
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: I desire to offer a motion that this mat-
ter be continued for one week. There is no question in my own mind
after listening to Supervisors Colman and Gallagher and McSheehy
that possibly they may get together in the meantime and come "to
this Board with a proper amendment so that it may be satisfactory
to the Water Department, the City Engineer and the members of this
Board.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: I second that motion.
THE CHAIR (Interrupting): I should think the Public Utilities
Committee should guide us, and I am willing to follow the recom-
mendations of the Public Utilities Committee on this outstanding
question.
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: We are voting on the motion for post-
ponement?
THE CHAIR: Yes, call the roll.

ROLL CALL FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF RESOLU-
TIONS BILLS AND COMMUNICATIONS NOT CON-
SIDERED OR REPORTED UPON BY A COMMITTEE.
Consideration of Garbage Disposal Bids.
Supervisor Hayden acted as chairman of the meeting in the absence
of the Mayor.
After the transaction of other business the following proceedings
were had in relation to the consideration of garbage disposal bids:
THE CHAIRMAN: The next order of business is the special order
for the consideration of garbage disposal bids.
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: I am just going to make a motion to
postpone, Supervisor McSheehy.
THE CHAIRMAN: Proceed, Supervisor Andriano.
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: There is a special order on our Cal-
endar relative to the disposal of garbage, and I am informed that
there is a delegation present representing the fishing industries of
California which desires to be heard on the subject. Now, it is evi-
dent, with the other matters we have pending before us today, that it
would be impossible to discuss this matter, or at least to allow the
privilege of the floor to outsiders, and I am going to move that it be
made a special order of business for next Monday at 3 o'clock. No,
we have one for 3; make it for 3:30.
THE CHAIRMAN: If there is no objection, so ordered.
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: I am asking if there is anything on the
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: Yes, a special matter.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I am serving notice— I don't want
Supervisor McSheehy to feel that he had my consent that it would be
decided by a simple motion. I intend to debate this matter, and to
suggest that it be rereferred to committee.
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: I don't see anything on the Calendar
for the consideration of this Board, so I suggest that the matter be
heard before the committee. Garbage was not— or it was understood
this matter would not be heard until next Monday, and we cannot go
into it today. ^. I
THE CHAIRMAN: If there is no objection, the garbage question
goes over one week, to be made a special order of business for 3:30.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: One moment. You recognized Super-
visor Andriano on this subject-matter, and now I understand you are
closing the doors on it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Do you want to speak on it?
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I certainly do. Mr. Chairman, the
subject-matter of the bids received, and the only legal bids on garbage
disposal, were referred to the Health Committee two or three weeks
ago on the plea of the new chairman, and a new Supervisor on the
Board, that he desired to acquaint himself with the question, and he
pleaded for and was granted a week's time. The subject-matter, as
I recall it, was heard the following Friday, partly only. Then in com-
mittee it was decided— can we get some order, please, Mr. Chairman?
THE CHAIRMAN: The members will please give their attention
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Then in committee it was decided tc
postpone further hearing for a week, and when that Friday came there
was no committee meeting, due, probably, to the illness of SupervisoJ
Roncovieri, and further due to the absence of Supervisor McSheehj
on legislative business. A meeting was then scheduled, as I under
stand it, for last Friday, and. due again to the absence of members
w
MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931. 677
for what cause I am not now informed, but, I think, the same, it
was again postponed. Whether in the meantime somebody has been
holding some conferences — in the meantime this garbage thing is just
like it always was, being kicked around here until it has become a
disgrace.
I call your attention to an article in the "Call" of today, this after-
noon, "Contractors Flay Proposal for Sea Dump Change as Unfair,"
and that the Supervisors will decide it next Monday and a legal fight
is promised. Quoting from the "Call": "Vigorous protest against the
proposal to call for new bids for dumping the city's garbage at sea
temporarily was made today by Charles Brennan, attorney for one
of the sea-dumping bidders." And continuing: "Brennan expressed
'amazement' at reports that Patrick Meherin, harbor commissioner,
had urged that old bids be thrown out and new bids called. 'I am
sure,' he said, 'that such reports must be incorrect, because for the
life of me I cannot see why the harbor commissioner should be in-
terested in what firm wins the contract for dumping the garbage at
sea. What difference could it possibly make to them whether my
clients or someone else won the contract?'
"Brennan's clients are Frank O'Kane and Walter J. O'Brien. They
submitted one bid January 12 for dumping at sea. J. H. Baxter, repre-
sented by Attorney Robert Jeffries, submitted another. Five bids for
incinerating the garbage were submitted but all were subsequently
declared illegal.
"About two weeks ago Mayor Angelo J. Rossi and other city officials
announced that pending a final solution of the incineration problem
they favored dumping the city's garbage at sea.
" 'Last week,' said Brennan, 'it was decided by some officials that
our bids should be thrown out and new bids for dumping at sea
should be called.
" 'This would be manifestly unfair. My clients and J. B. Baxter
bid in good faith. Months ago we saw that even if an incineration
contract should be let now it would probably be five years before
incineration could begin, and that meanwhile the garbage should be
dumped at sea.'
" 'We bid. We bid in good faith. We revealed our estimates. We
told the wide world what we proposed. Now it is suggested that our
bids be thrown out, that other persons be permitted to scan our figures
and then submit bids; that others be permitted to take advantage of
the thousands of dollars' worth of study that we have made.'
"Brennan said that the Supervisors would have to decide the issue.
They have set it for next Monday.
"The conference at which the proposal to throw out the bids was
made was held in Mayor Rossi's office and one of those attending was
Meherin. because the harbor board would have to provide space for
the loading of the garbage ships. Meherin was reported to have led
in urging that new bids be called.
" 'This I can't understand,' said Brennan. 'Either the board will
give permission to use a pier or it will not. Certainly the identity
of those who win the contract will not enter into their decision.' "
I should like permission of the Chairman to ask a question, through
you, of Mr. Brennan, if this statement appearing in the "Call" is, to
the best of your knowledge, true?
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objection? You may answer, Mr.
Brennan.
MR. BRENNAN: Yes, that is correct.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Have you been informed of a con-
ference held in Mayor Angelo J. Rossi's office at which the disposition
of garbage by dumping at sea was discussed?
MR. BRENNAN: There was a conference, Supervisor Gallagher, I
understand, between the Mayor, the City Attorney, the City Engineer,
678 MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931.
the City Health Officer and the chairman of the Health Committee,
last Thursday, I believe.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Were you or anybody representing
your clients invited?
MR. BRENNAN: No, we were not invited.
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: Ask him if he gave that statement in
reference to everybody present, the names of the ones who were there?
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Supervisor Garrity asks me to have
you make the statement to the Board if you made the statement
giving the names of who were present at the conference.
MR. BRENNAN: No, I did not. Supervisor Gallagher.
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: But you do say, Mr. Brennan, that the
statement is correct?
MR. BRENNAN: Yes, I do.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER : And you say you are informed there
was such a conference?
MR. BRENNAN: Yes.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I am rising to ask if anybody knows
if there was such a conference?
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: Supervisor Gallagher has gone into a
long statement here on a matter which I believe is pending in the
hands of the Health Committee, and I presume that when they bring
in the right findings it will be pretty near correct in the way of
handling the situation. Supervisor Gallagher says that it will soon
amount to a scandal. Supervisor Gallagher himself has been upon
this Board for many years, and to my knowledge this garbage matter
has been pending all that time.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I asked a question, and I want no
argument on it. I asked the question and I can wait for him to
explode on other matters later.
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: I will give it next Monday.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Fortunately the rules of this Board
protect any member against just what has happened here. Super-
visor Garrity knows very well that it was the earnest desire of the
Board to give him and his committee time to study this question, but
no authority was granted to his committee, or to anybody else, for
anybody to sit and confer on this subject-matter and dispose of the
subject in a conference. If that was done prior to a vote by this
Board on the subject it might be as well for Supervisor Garrity, while
he is trying to ascertain some information, to be informed that the
only authority around this City Hall to dispose of these bids is the
Board of Supervisors, and nobody else, and if anybody is holding con-
ferences on the subject, Mr. Chairman, some of us would like to know
why, and who is holding them. We would like to know, for instance,
if this statement in the "Call" is correct, why the chairman of the ;
Board of Harbor Commissioners tries to advise what disposition should •
be made of this problem? We are certainly not going down on the \
waterfront and tell him how many piers to build and where these ;
piers should be built. That is number one. '
Under the rules of this Board when a matter is taken into com- !
mittee and is held in that committee for more than thirty days, under ^
our rules it can be placed on the Calendar.
Now, these two men, or two bidders, have submitted bids in all fair-
ness; these people have submitted the only legal bids which are before '
this Board; these people have shown their figures to the whole world;
these people are ready to accept a contract, and the Mayor and the City ■■
Health Officer and the Engineer have said that, pending any solution
of this problem, and pending the erection of an incinerator, the ad-
visable thing to do is to dump at sea, because under the mandate of ;
the people we cannot do any other way, and it must be obvious to
MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931. 679
anybody that pending the erection of an incinerator some other method
of disposal must be found.
I want to register my objection, first, to furtlier delay — and I have
fought against delay of this garbage solution for several years, and
it has been forever pending in committee, and forever the committee
has failed to find a solution, and if this particular committee can
find a solution we will all be delighted, but I am serving notice right
now, and I am doing it in all charity and in all frankness, that if this
matter pends in committee over the time I shall invoke my right to
place it on the Calendar for decision by the Board.
It seems to me, Mr. Chairman, I would best be serving the interests
of the City and of this Board if I protect the rights of gentlemen who
have bid on this question and to see that the doors are thrown open
and the full light of day let in on the subject. These gentlemen who
bid on the proposition, they have a right to be either invited to be at
any conference or discussion thereon, on their bids; they have a right
to their day in court and I am going to see that they get it. I want
that understood. If anybody walked into a conference or conferences,
or called them, that I, as a Supervisor, and my fellow-members on
this Board have the right to sit in on and were not given an oppor-
tunity, I am serving notice right now that they won't get away with
it. Some other people have tried that in the past, and it has led to
chaos and confusion. I say it is wrong to call conferences and discuss
what disposition is to be made with a subject which is pending in
this Board and in so doing jeopardize the rights of anyone. I am
going to say to you now, and to Mr. Brennan and to his clients, that I
am going to see that they get a fair deal and get their day in court.
I am going to see to it. Any conference is not binding on this Board:
that is not the place to settle it.
I may say, as I said before the committee, there is just one simple
question to answer: "Shall we award contracts for dumping at sea
while the question of the erection of an incinerator, private or other-
wise, is being solved?" That is the only question before them. If
they wish to address themselves to the building of an incinerator, to
that there can be no objection.
I think, now, Mr. Chairman, in view of the fact that right now
in the public print everywhere, and everywhere else, the Board is
being attacked as a whole — I just saw it this afternoon, either this
afternoon or yesterday — one of the things this Board is being attacked
on, and one of the principal arguments for voting the new Charter in
was the subject of garbage disposal. Now, Mr. Chairman, this is the
place to hear a question of that kind: this is the place to discuss it:
this is the place to decide it. I here protest, and I for one beg that
they bring it to us here and take our vote on it and let no outsiders,
no other officials who haven't anything to do with it, vote on it. I
think meetings and discussions regarding garbage are more helpful
here than they can be by being held behind closed doors. There have
been too many meetings in times past — I am not criticising anyone
here for them — held behind closed doors. These bidders have some
rights, and I repeat that these conferences do not give them those
rights, and they are entitled to a day in court, and they have a right,
if their bids are legal, to be considered, and upon that I am going to
insist.
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: Mr. Chairman, I am absolutely surprised.
That is an amazing statement, based on a mere newspaper article,
upon a matter which we do not know whether it ever happened or
not. That is the most amazing statement I have heard in some time.
Mr. Chairman, I personally approve heartily of the interest the
Mayor of San Francisco takes in the problems that confront our City,
and he is thoroughly within his rights in calling members of the
official family into his office to discuss these problems.
680 MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931.
THE CHAIRMAN: A little order, please. Proceed, Supervisor
Colman.
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: I think, moreover, it is his duty to show
enough interest in the affairs of this City to look into these things.
I do think a statement of that kind — that he or anyone else is at-
tempting to take away anyone's rights — is absurd.
Of course, a statement like that would tend rather to prejudice me
against the applicants than anything else; to try to bluff me or
intimidate me into considering favorably what they are trying to
put over here. Personally I wouldn't stand for a cheap bluff. That
is not in any way personal, because I don't personally know anything
about the exact conditions in this case.
I do think it is entirely unwarranted to criticize our chief execu-
tive of the city for taking a proper interest in the affairs of the city-
why, that is something unheard of. I commend him for it. He is
directly concerned with every problem that faces the City of San
Francisco, and he certainly takes up those problems and attempts by
his criticism and counsel to bring about a proper solution of them ,
and to aid us in our work here. If that is not the proper function
of the chief executive of a city, to whose desk goes all legislation
of the city, I don't know what it is. I think it is a fine attitude on
the part of our Mayor, Angelo Rossi, which he has taken in the affairs
of the city, and instead of criticizing him I commend him.
We all know where the decision rests in matters of this kind, and
Supervisor Gallagher knows that it is in the Board, subject to the ap-
proval of the Mayor, and any question that he is a man that would ,
take away anyone's rights is almost an insult, and I resent it; he is
not that kind of a man, and during the short time that he has been
in the position of Mayor he has shown a grasp of affairs of the city
and an interest in those affairs that certainly entitles him to the
appreciation and respect of this Board.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: I rise to a point of personal privi-
lege. I desire a few minutes to reply to Supervisor Colman. If Su-
pervisor Colman wants credit on the record for making a defense of
his Honor the Mayor and wants to receive the benefit of the bread
that falls from the table, political or otherwise, I have no objection
to that. I want Supervisor Colman to know that we all know when
he takes and builds up a straw man and then hides behind it. I
want him to know that I made no attack on Mayor Rossi. I said
that conferences were being held, at which conferences — I don't know
where they were held, except what I read to you here and what you
heard Mr. Brennan say — conferences were held in which there was
an attempt made to throw out bids that were before this Board and
to take away the rights of this Board of Supervisors.
Relative to the bluff provision which Supervisor Colman mentioned,
that is a manufacture of your own mind. You are very adept at
Machiavellian practices; you would make a great character of Me-
phisto in any play, but your fairness is shown when you say that
because I raised the question about Mr. Brennan's clients, with that
little twist of your brain, you might be forced, or that might prompt
you to vote against them. That is on a par with your tactics. The
best thing for you to do would be to have the clerk read the record.
I know that I made no attack on the Mayor and I made no attack on
anybody, but I say to you again, and I will repeat it to the day I go
out of this Board, if I stay one day or one hundred years, that if
anybody thinks they are going to take on themselves any of my pre-^
rogatives as a Supervisor, or that they can settle matters which are
sent to committee and which are properly pending in this Board,
they can't get away with it, and I resent it. You may be somebody's
man around here, but I am independent, I hope, and I resent those
statements made by the Supervisor.
MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931. 681
As to the statement in the article in the "Call," I believe that was
made by Mr. barsen — he can answer as to that — because it bears his
stamp, and I will take his word for it. I think a conference was held,
and I think somebody is trying to hide it. I have no objection to
the Mayor holding conferences; I glory in it; I asked him to hold
one today; but I do know something about this garbage question, and
I know how vicious it has been. Supervisor Garrity also misquoted
me when he said
THE CHAIRMAN: Just a moment, gentlemen. (Rapping for
order.) I have allowed a lot of latitude and we have wandered pretty
far afield. I will ask the clerk what the matter before the Board is.
THE CLERK: The matter of postponement of the garbage disposal
question for one week.
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: I should like to say a few words
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: What is the subject before the Board?
THE CHAIRMAN: Consideration of the garbage disposal bids, on
a motion to postpone one week.
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: I want to say a few words in response
to Supervisor Gallagher here and his tirade, his effort to call some-
body down here, and I want to say it is very characteristic of him to
do that, not alone here in the Board, but he seems to take a delight
in doing it in meetings outside, in taking to task various Supervisors.
When this matter was assigned to me as chairman of the Health
Committee I had only one thing in view, and that was to get the
garbage situation where it had never been before, out in the clear,
out in the light of day, so that when I was finished with it and it came
into the Board every citizen, everyone in San Francisco, would know
that it was on the up-and-up and that it is not being held or handled
for the benefit of anybody, but for everybody. I want everybody,
every Supervisor here, to know that, and every citizen, and in refer-
ence to the garbage disposal question, it is my right, and Supervisor
Gallagher and no other Supervisor can take that from me, and when
I do bring it in here, Mr. Chairman and Mr. Supervisors, I hope to
have it in some sort of shape so that you will know what it is all
about. Supervisor Gallagher says that for years it has been somewhat
of a crime around here the way the garbage question has been handled,
but Supervisor Gallagher has been here for sixteen or seventeen years
more on the Board than I have. He has gone to work today and
taken our chairman, our Mayor, to task, and it is uncalled for. I
want to say, just as long as I am chairman of the Health Committee,
or member of any committee, I am going to act as a member of that
committee regardless of what Supervisor Gallagher says or what any-
one says, or what Supervisor Gallagher threatens.
I I want to say to you this much, that I am well aware of the fact that
I or my committee cannot settle the garbage question in committee,
! and that we cannot settle any other matter in committee; that it is
a matter which is before the Board and which the Board must settle,
and that they are the only ones that have the right to settle the
I matter for the City and County of San Francisco. I am clear on that
subject, Mr. Presiding Officer, and I want Supervisor Gallagher and
everyone else to know it.
I want Supervisor Gallagher to know, although he may be talking
for the record or talking for the newspapers trying to show this com-
mittee how to do its duty, and apparently he is talking for the effect
and not for the purpose of doing anything for the garbage situation,
as I see it. Now, as far as I am concerned, the papers can quote
^anything they like; I have no objection to the papers quoting any-
thing. I don't say I gave that to them, but the gentleman here today
! said that as far as he knew everything there was correct. Now, I
am somewhat in doubt about the correctness of one or two state-
rnents in that, but this fact is in my mind, Mr. Chairman and Super-
visors, that the Board of Supervisors are the only people that can
682 MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931.
settle the question, and no conferences can do that, but no one will
deny me the right, as long as I am a member of the Board of Super-
visors, to seek light wherever I can find it.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Will Supervisor Garrity yield to a
question?
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: Just a minute.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Will you yield to a question? Will
you inform me as to whether there has been anywhere that you know
of a conference on this subject-matter?
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: The thing doesn't make a bit of differ-
ence
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Will Supervisor Garrity answer yes
or no whether there was such a conference or not?
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: I will answer in my own way; it doesn't
make a bit of difference whether I answer yes or no, but I have
already stated in this Board, and they have accepted it, and my answer
will be in the Board next Monday.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Will Supervisor Garrity answer the
question whether or not he was in any conferences?
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: Yes, I was.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Will you tell me where it was?
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: That's all you are going to get.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: That's a nice argument
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: Yes, I am just a little bit too smart
for you.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: You are not so smart; why don't you
tell us where it was?
THE CHAIRMAN: The question is on postponement for one week.
Is there any objection? (No response.) (Bringing down the gavel.)
SUPERVISOR CANEPA: May I ask if there will be a hearing
on that?
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: Yes, on Friday, the regular committee
meeting.
THE CHAIRMAN: The matter is postponed for one week.

Citizens' Committee Welcome to the "President Hoover."
Supervisor Gallagher presented:
Resolution No. 34159 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, a great epoch in Pacific Ocean shipping will occur when
the Dollar Steamship Company's steamship "President Hoover" arrives,
and leaves on her maiden voyage to and from this port on August 28,
1931, this magnificent boat being the largest commercial vessel ever
built in the United States, and which, with her sister ship, the "Presi-
dent Coolidge," will be placed this year in transpacific service by the
above-named shipping interest; and
Whereas, the Dollar Steamship Company has its home office and
headquarters in San Francisco, and these super vessels have their
home port here; and
Whereas, it is deemed fitting that the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce should sponsor the maiden trip of this great "President"
liner, and that proper civic recognition should be given to the first
arrival of this boat in San Francisco, on August 24, 1931; now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That his Honor the Mayor be and he is hereby authorized
and requested to appoint a Citizens' Committee of One Hundred to
cooperate with the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce in arranging
a fitting celebration and welcome to the "President Hoover" when she
arrives at this port.

Prohibiting More Than Five and One-Half Days Per Week on
War Memorial Buildings.
Supervisor McSheehy presented:
Resolution No. (New Series), as follows:
AVhereas, the principal reason advanced and universally accepted
for the present lack of demand for labor has been the increasing use
of labor-saving machinery, resulting in over-production; and ;
Whereas, the Board of Trustees of the San Francisco War Memorial
is empowered to let contracts for the construction of buildings com-
prising said War Memorial, and in the foundation work now in prog- ■
ress the author of this resolution has observed men at work Saturday
afternoons; now, therefore, be it I
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors hereby requests the Trus- '>
tees of the San Francisco AVar Memorial to include a provision in con-
tracts to be let for the construction of the buildings of said War ,
Memorial whereby work other than that done on the basis of five and
one-half days per week be prohibited.

Relative to Restoration of Race Course in Golden Gate Park.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: And while you were under my name, i
the San Francisco Driving Club, an organization composed of sports-
men who give freely exhibitions to our people every Sunday in the :
season at the Stadium Track in Golden Gate Park, have made a very ;
earnest appeal for the bringing of that track into proper shape. There
MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931. 687
are some of the largest and wealthiest owners of horses in this west-
ern country who refuse, with the track in its present condition, to
send their horses there for exhibitions, which, I repeat, have been an
edification to our people for many, many years past. The track, as;
you know, was donated through the instrumentality of Mr. Frank G.
O'Kane, about twenty years or more ago. It has got into a bad state.
I know not now how much it will take to put it into shape. Various
estimates have been made, ranging from twelve thousand dollars down.
Addressing this to yourself, Mr. Mayor, at this time, I do so in the
hope that, inasmuch as this is pending before the Park Commission,
and the hearing will be held shortly, that you yourself can give it
some attention. The San FTancisco Driving Club members frankly
feel that they are sort of an orphan child and they have been neg-<
lected. They are very representative citizens, and I repeat, only en-
gaged in producing horseflesh for the edification of the people and
for their own pleasure. And I am going to ask your Honor to please
give their petition some attention. I am going to ask if you will not,
some day soon, receive a delegation of these people, and plead with
your Park Commission, or suggest some other method, with us, of
finding a way to put this track in shape. It will be just too bad ifi
we do not do it, and it is not fair to them.
And I move that the Clerk ask the Board of Park Commissioners,
when the subject matter will be before them, and that his Honor the
Mayor be requested to give his interest and attention to this matter
and is requested to grant a hearing to the members of the Driving-
Club at his convenience.
THE MAYOR: I will be very glad to give the gentlemen you speak
of a hearing. I would suggest also that the Parks and Playgrounds
Committee interest itself in such matter. It is a park matter.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: If you wish you can refer it to our
Committee and we will make a report on it.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Then I suggest that a memorandum
of my motion be drafted by the stenographer and be handed to the
Clerk of the Committee on Education, Parks and Playgrounds.
THE MAYOR: No objection? So ordered. (Bringing down the
gavel.)

board, or sidewalk clock, projecting beyond the property line over any
sidewalk or public thoroughfare, except such as are embraced within
the classifications of Section 11 and subject to the conditions stated
herein; provided that this ordinance shall not be deemed to apply to
"billboards," as defined and regulated by Ordinance No. 4059 (New

tisement, transparency, or bulletin board erected and maintained under
a lawful permit prior to the passage of this ordinance.
Section 3. No sign, transparency, advertisement, bulletin board, or

shall be made to the said Board of Public Works by the owner, lessee,
or agent thereof, of the property on which the proposed sign is to be
located, on the form and in the manner required by the said Board.
Said application shall be accompanied by duplicate scale or dimen-
sioned drawings of the proposed sign, which shall show fully the loca-
tion, dimensions, and construction therof, together with such other
information as may be required. When the proposed sign is to be
attached to a building or other independent structure, the drawings
shall show the position of the sign on the supporting structure, the
method of attachment to such structure, and the character of the
structural members to which such attachment is made.
Section 4. It shall be the duty of the Board of Public Works, through
its authorized representatives, upon the filing of application and
exhibits as provided in Section 3, to examine such drawings and other
data and, if necessary, the premises upon which it is proposed to erect
the sign, and if it shall appear that the proposed sign is in accordance
with all legal requirements, the Board of Public Works shall issue
a permit for the erection of the sign. During the erection of the sign,
and upon the completion thereof, the Board of Public Works shall
cause the same to be inspected.
Section 5. All rights and privileges acquired under the provisions

device is erected which is intended to be used in connection with
electricity, a permit shall be secured from the Board of Public Works
as provided in Sections 3 and 4, and this permit, together with all
necessary data regarding the proposed electrical construction, shall
be submitted to the Department of Electricity. It shall be the duty

in making such inspection, including time reasonably consumed in
going from the office of the said department to the place of inspection,,
and return to the said office; provided, however, that such minimum
fee shall be three dollars ($3.00). The issuance of the certificate
of satisfactory inspection shall constitute a permit for the connection
of electric current to the sign. Prior to the issuance of such certificate,

Department of Electricity, and only for the purpose of testing the sign.

ROLL CALL FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF RESOLU-
TIONS, BILLS AND COMMUNICATIONS NOT CON-
SIDERED OR REPORTED UPON BY A COMMITTEE.
Re Report of Legislative Committee on Legislation Affecting San
Francisco Now Pending Before the State Legislature.
Supervisor Hayden acted as chairman of the meeting in the absence
of the Mayor.
After the transaction of other business, the following proceedings
were had in connection with legislation now pending before the State
Legislature, which affects the City and County of San Francisco:
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Under this roll call, I haven't got any
resolution here with me, but I can verbally state it. I would like to
be instructed, as chairman of the Legislative Committee on a rather
important matter, a matter which means something to the City and
County of San Francisco.
The first is on the schools bill now pending before the Senate, or
rather in the Senate Committee. When the matter came up on last
Thursday before the Senate Committee I asked that it be postponed
for a week so that I might be instructed by this Board. That bill
places the Supei'visors in the counties of this State in a position to
review the budgets as outlined by the Boards of Education. Might I
state in passing here that a week ago last Thursday a number of citi-
zens, or rather a number of Senators, expressed themselves on the
MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1931. 723
matter and it seems from what I can gather that it is rather a com-
plicated bill, and it was therefore sent back to committee. In com-
mittee I made the statement that this Board had asked for a post-
ponement and it was held in committee, and with this thought in mind.
Senator Sharkey stated it briefly, that in his district there are some sixty-
eight school districts and out of that number five boards of supervisors.
He stated those men were not conversant with the school department
affairs and that it was rather hard to think that they would try to in-
struct the school departments, and he was replied to by Senator Bush,
the author of the bill, that they were not attempting to review the
work of the school departments, except in reference to construction.
Now, members of the Board, I imagine what will happen next Thurs-
day night will be this, that an amendment, at least the bill as introduced
by Senator Bush will be amended so as to give certain rights to boards
of Supervisors in reference to reviewing certain matters set up by
the boards of education. Now, I should like to be instructed today by this
Board that we would be in favor of an amendment somewhat of that
nature. In other words, I imagine that by the amendment the teeth
will be taken out of the bill as introduced by Senator Bush, but I think
the amendment will be such that it will be to the advantage of San
Francisco, because it will permit a certain amount of review of the
budget of the board of education. If this board will instruct the com-
mittee I will appear up there next Thursday night and make that
statement, but I would like to go there fortified by some instruction.
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: Would you repeat your statement as to
the purport of the amendment?
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: The purport of the bill is a review
of the budget as set up by the board of education, or rather by the
boards of education throughout the entire State of California, and I
think it will be amended to such a degree that it will be accepted
by the State School Department, because 1 cannot think now of
the man's name he was made the chairman of the committee
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: To what degree will it be amended,
did you say?
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: I couldn't tell you to what degree,
because I don't know, but I imagine it will be amended to a degree
so that it will be a benefit to the boards of Supervisors of the State.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: I think that before this Board goes on
record about any matter as vital as the one presented it should know
more about the bill and the amendment. I happened to be in Sacra-
mento a short time ago and I looked into the matter also.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Didn't I state it about right?
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: I am not questioning that part of it, but
until the amendment is presented and until we know what it is, I
certainly would not record my vote either aye or no. It may be that
the amendment will be perfectly acceptable, but until presented I don't
think this Board should take any action whatever.
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: There are two bills before the Legis-
lature, one is the bill referred to by Supervisor McSheehy introduced
by Senator Bush, and another one was introduced by Senators
Nelson
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: That's the one I am talking about.
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: They are practically the same, yes,
and I think they are going to get together. Now, this is Senate Bill
Number 785, which was introduced by Senators Nelson, Breed, Deuel,
Jones and McKinley. These Senators were appointed by Governor
Young as a special committee to study the mounting costs of taxa-
tion, or that is, rather the mounting taxing power of the various school
districts, and there is a state-wide sentiment, and there are two bills
which have been introduced for the same purpose. There is a state-wide
sentiment today that the boards of supervisors should have the power
724 MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1931.
to advise or at least review the budgets of the boards of education.
You all know that in 1921 or 1922 a law was passed which gave to
the boards of education throughout the state the power practically of
unlimited taxation. There is a limit, but it is so high in the rate
that if it were applied in San Francisco for building purposes only it
might run over $6,000,000 annually. Now, we all know that the build-
ings program of the board of education has been a good one up to
the present time, and that they can without doubt slow up their build-
ing program to the extent of $1,000,000 a year. A million dollars a
year is a very considerable sum. Last year they commanded of this
Board to give them $2,240,000. Now, that is a very large sum to pro-
duce out of the tax rate in any one year, and if the board of education
will make its building program to run over a period of six, seven or
eight years at $1,000,000 a year, they will accomplish all they have in
mind without crowding in the next four or five years the people of the
City with such a heavy tax rate. I want you to know that in the past
ten years nearly $24,000,000 have been expended for school buildings,
a good sized sum, and from now on the program for future buildings
should be a little slower. We have reached a point in our tax rate
where it is very high, and we have reached a year in which the tax
on the people of this city has reached $4.06, which is about the limit,
and we have been told by our City Assessor that beyond any possible
doubt the total assessment roll of this city will be reduced by a great
sum of money, which will mean an additional amount in the rate.
Now, it does seem to me that inasmuch as the board of education and
the societies supporting the board of education stated that they would
do their best to get the Legislature to adopt just such a bill as this,
I trust that this board will approve of this bill, in spirit at least, and
this is not said with any desire in the slightest degree to injure the
public schools of San Francisco, because I think they are a most highly
important government function, but we have other government func-
tions. Just consider for a moment, the police department, the fire
department, the board of public works and the health department,
suppose they had an equal right to command a sum of money for the
support of their various departments. Why, the aggregate sum would
not be $4.06 in the tax rate, it would be six or seven or eight dollars.
The Board of Supervisors should be, and have always been up to 1922,
the clearing house for the demands of the various departments of
government. We are interested in the grand total, and the people are j
interested in the grand total of the tax rate. I repeat to you that if
each department of the city government had only to demand what they
want for their own particular department, if they were in a position to
demand what they think they need, the tax rate then would become
unbearable.
The board of education I am sure with a million dollars a year could >
carry on very nicely. I can build two or three schools a year and get along
very nicely on $1,000,000 a year, spread over six or seven or eight
years.
The total increased daily attendance in the public schools in the last
ten years was 18,000, not a large number, that is 36 per cent of what
it was ten years ago, and the yearly expenditures have gone up nearly
150 per cent. Now, the amount of cost in the name of education should
be hauled within reason, just within reason, give them $1,000,000 a
year and not $2,225,000. As it is at present they have the right to come
in and ask for two or three million dollars.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: Would you make that as a motion?
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: I don't believe that this is the proper time
to argue the merits of the question, because we don't know what the
amendments are going to be.
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: Yes we do.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: He doesn't know what it is going to be,
MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1931. 725
Supervisor McSheehy has stated he doesn't, know what it is going
to be and I don't think that we as members of the Board of Super-
visors should even presume to instruct our committee on such a matter
when we haven't the slightest idea of what those amendments may be,
so I am going to move that the matter be laid over for one week so
that when these amendments come in Supervisor McSheehy can then
present the matter to us and we will know what we are acting upon.
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: It will be too late. I happen to
know that next Thursday will be the third time on which the com-
mittee has taken this matter up. The bill is perfectly clear, it gives
to the boards of supervisors the right to review the board of education
budget
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: No, you are wrong
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: No, I am not wrong.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: Supervisor McSheehy says himself he
doesn't know what the amendment will be.
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: I move this in place of the motion
by Supervisor Peyser, that we approve of this bill in this form, the bill
to review the board of education's budget, that in principle we are in
favor of that, and I so move you.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: I made a motion that the matter be put over
for one week and that then Supervisor McSheehy report back to us
for action.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objection to Supervisor Peyser's
motion?
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: I amended that by moving that we
approve in principle of the bill now pending before the Legislature.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: Mr. Chairman, I think that Supervisor
Roncovieri is entirely wrong. It may be that when the amendment
comes in if it is to review the capital expenditures by the boards of
education we will all be in favor of it. The bill as it is now is entirely
different. If the amendments come in in such form that we approve,
all right, but I don't think this Board should commit itself on any-
thing unless it knows exactly what that thing is before doing it.
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: I second the motion by Supervisor
Roncovieri.
SUPERVISOR HAYDEN: Of course, we are very seriously concerned
in the amount of the tax rate, and if any bill is pending in the Legislature
that would give to this Board the right to review the budget of the board
of education, I think we would all be in sympathy with the passage of
such a bill, because if we could find it proper to cut down the amount
of the budget of the board of education, within proper limits, we would
all be interested in that. I think the motion of Supervisor Roncovieri
giving Supervisor McSheehy as Chairman of the Legislative Committee
instructions to practically use his own judgment where he considers
the best interests of the City of San Francisco lie would be all right.
SUPERVISOR GARRITY: Question.
THE CHAIRMAN: The motion before the Board is by Supervisor
Roncovieri seconded by Supervisor Andriano. What is the pleasure
of the Board?
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: I didn't know that we were going to argue
the merits of this question now.
THE CHAIRMAN: May I ask to be excused at this time? Would
you nominate someone to take my place?
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: I move that Supervisor Hayden take the
chair in the absence of the Mayor.
(Thereupon Supervisor Hayden acted as chairman of the meeting
in the absence of the Mayor.)
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: I hope we don't get into any contro-
versy here over this now, as I have two or three other bills which I
have to say something about.
726 MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1931.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: Well, there are none of them more im-
portant than the one under discussion now. The education and the public
school system is of vital importance to the State of California. It is
true that they could be reasonable in their demands, but the question
of education is uppermost, foremost, the most important to the people
of the State, and the various school boards are put there presumably,
and I assume that such is the fact, because of their knowledge of
school administration and because of their knowledge of the needs of
education, and I don't think it is proper that in matters of education
those who have not the same knowledge — not by virtue of the fact
that they are ignorant — but by virtue of the fact that they have not
the same opportunities and the same facilities for acquiring that
knowledge, should have it in their power to in any way curb or in
any way affect the present school system. On a question of invest-
ment in school buildings and the like, that is a different thing, and
when that is presented in proper form it might be very well to allow
our Boards of Supervisors to examine their expenditures. However,
I do not believe that on a matter as important as this anyone — and
I am not saying anything in derogation of Supervisor McSheehy's
judgment or anything of that kind — I don't think it is fair to the
people of San Francisco, and I don't think it is fair to the entire
system that we should presume to vote on the subject until we know
what is before us to vote on. Supervisor Roncovieri's motion, really,
in favor of the spirit of the bill means nothing
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: Principle, I said.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: Principle, all right; his motion is that
the principle is that of allowing the educational system of our State
to be tampered with, the educational system is to be subject to politi-
cal influence, and if that is the case then I say that spirit or that
meaning should be well defined and should be well considered. I
don't think it is fair and I don't think it is proper that we should
be called upon to even consider it until such time as Supervisor
McSheehy has brought back the amendment, and then let us go into it.
THE CHAIRMAN: The question is on Supervisor Roncovieri's
amendment to the motion by Supervisor Peyser. Call the roll, Mr. Clerk.
THE CLERK: (Roll Call.) Supervisor Andriano, aye; Supervisor
Breyer, aye; Supervisor Canepa, aye; Supervisor Colman, no; Super-
visor Gallagher, absent; Supervisor Garrity, aye; Supervisor Haven-
ner, aye; Supervisor Hayden, aye; Supervisor McGovern, aye; Super-
visor McSheehy, aye; Supervisor Miles, no; Supervisor Peyser, no;
Supervisor Power, absent; Supervisor Roncovieri, aye; Supervisor
Shannon, aye; Supervisor Spaulding, absent; Supervisor Stanton, aye;
Supervisor Suhr, absent.
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: I desire to change my vote from no to
aye and give notice of reconsideration.
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: I move for suspension of the rules
and immediate reconsideration.
THE CHAIRMAN: All right. Supervisor Roncovieri asks tor im-
mediate reconsideration. Call the roll, Mr. Clerk, on immediate re-
consideration.
THE CLERK: (Roll Call.) Supervisor Andriano, aye; Supervisor
Canepa, aye; Supervisor Breyer, aye; Supervisor Colman, no; Super-
visor Gallagher, absent; Supervisor Garrity, aye; Supervisor Haven-
ner, aye; Supervisor Hayden, aye; Supervisor McGovern, aye; Super-
visor McSheehy, aye; Supervisor Miles, no; Supervisor Peyser, no;
Supervisor Power, absent; Supervisor Roncovieri, aye: Supervisor
Shannon, aye; Supervisor Spaulding, absent; Supervisor Stanton, aye;
Supervisor Suhr, absent.
THE CLERK: Eleven ayes, three noes.
THE CHAIRMAN: The motion is lost.
SUPERVISOR McSHEEHY: May I make this statement, members
MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1931. 727
of the Board, and I think you will all be interested. You asked me to
see the Governor of the State in reference to the judges' salaries,
amounting to $84,000
SUPERVISOR SHANNON: I don't think it is right to take up all
these legislative matters under roll call for the introduction of motions
and reports.
SUPERVISOR MeSHEEHY: I think, if you will allow me to make
this statement — I don't want to take up your time, Supervisor — may I
make this statement, and you can do just as you please with it
SUPERVISOR SHANNON: We always do anyway, just as we please.
SUPERVISOR MeSHEEHY: I saw the Governor and he told me
that he had made a promise that if the Senate and the Assembly
voted in favor of those bills that he would sign them, that the bills
would be passed. It is in this position, if the City of San Francisco
does not report on these bills, I think you will find
SUPERVISOR COLMAN: We reported on the question of raises for
the judges; we went on record as opposed to the raises for the judges.
The
THE CHAIRMAN: Sure we did, unanimously.
SUPERVISOR STANTON: I wasn't present. I want to be recorded
as voting against it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Those present voted unanimously.
SUPERVISOR MeSHEEHY: Members of the Board, as Chairman of
the Legislative Committee I have not yet received any instructions
in reference to what I was to do next Thursday on this board of educa-
tion matter, is it tentatively understood
SUPERVISOR PEYSER: No, it is put over.
SUPERVISOR MeSHEEHY: Then I would simply make the state-
ment that this Board cannot act on an amendment unless they see
the amendment?
THE CHAIRMAN: Ask for a postponement.
SUPERVISOR MeSHEEHY: I have asked for two now, and I think
it is part of the duty of any committee to state what has transpired in
this board
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: I think that is the proper thing to do,
we have no right to make any recommendation, but we have the right
to state what has happened in this Board in reference to it.
SUPERVISOR MeSHEEHY: I will make that statement.
SUPERVISOR ANDRIANO: I would take the record of the pro-
ceeding by the stenographic reporter and take it up there.
SUPERVISOR MeSHEEHY: I will do that.

Quorum present.
His Honor Mayor Rossi presiding.
Remarks of Mayor Angelo J. Rossi on Death of Supervisor
James E. Power.
It is with the sincerest regret that I received advice today that
Supervisor James E. Power had been taken from us.
A man of steadfast character, lovable personality, staunch and loyal
to his friends. Supervisor Power's death will bring genuine grief to
the hearts of all San Franciscans.
A devoted husband, a loving father, a friend of all who were in
need, he endeared himself to the many who had an opportunity of
coming in close contact with him in business or social life. He never
shirked a responsibility and never betrayed a trust.
Like all men of forceful character, James E. Power formed deep
and lasting friendships, and, like all strong men, at times had ener-
getic opponents, but he never cherished rancor in his heart. He
looked with charity on all his fellow-men, and his departure to the
beyond will bring regret to all who knew him.
Supervisor Power's connection with the municipal government began
in January, 1911, when he was appointed a member of the Board of
Education. From this position, after three years' tenure in office, he
resigned to accept an appointment to the Board of Supervisors.
As a school director he did much to build up the department, and
was a consistent advocate of liberality in the matter of salaries for
all teachers, recognizing the necessity of a high-minded and efficient
personnel in this department.
He introduced the school children's savings bank system, as a result
of which school children now have deposits aggregating over a million
dollars.
As a member of the Board of Supervisors he attained the highest
honor which that body can confer — the chairmanship of the Finance
Committee.
For three years Mr. Power was postmaster at San Francisco, in
which position he established an enviable record for efficiency and
service and did much to build up the postoffice in San Francisco to its
present high standard.
[ 733 ]
734 MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1931.
As a lifelong friend of Supervisor Power and as Mayor of the City
which he served so well, I join with his host of friends in expressing
to the bereaved family my sincerest sympathy at his untimely passing.
Motion.
Supervisor Hayden moved that a committee of the Board be ap-
pointed to attend the funeral; that at 2:30 p. m. next Monday
appropriate services be held in the chambers commemorating the
passing of Supervisor Power; that the Clerk provide a suitable floral
tribute, and that when the Board adjourns it does so out of respect
to his memory.
Adopted unaniinously by rising vote.

"SENATOR THOMAS A. MALONEY."
THE CLERK: Supervisor Hay den presents the following: (Read-
ing resolution in memoriam.)
Resolution No. 34249 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, Colonel James B. Power, member of the Board of Super-
visors of the City and County of San Francisco died recently after
a long illness, endured with Christian fortitude; and
Whereas, The late Superisor James E. Power served his native city
in various public and private capacities for many years, as a member
of the Board of Education, as Postmaster of San Francisco, as Colonel
of the League of the Cross Cadets, and as a faithful member of nu-
merous fraternal and benevolent organizations; and
Whereas, In all these divergent capacities and different positions of
honor and trust he showed notable qualities of constancy, fidelity,
integrity, and above all, a loyalty to ideals and an unswerving adher-
ence to the principles of Christianity; and
Whereas, These qualities of the late Supervisors James E. Power
were most perfectly manifested in beautiful form in his devotion to
his family; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of
San Francisco, does hereby revere the memory of its late colleague
and expresses publicly its regret and sorrow at his death, and offers
to his widow and the bereaved members of his family sincere sympathy
and condolence; and be it
Further Resolved, That a copy of this Resolution be spread on the
minutes of this meeting of the Board of Supervisors and another copy
be sent to the widow of the late Supervisor, and that the Board adjourn
today, when it does adjourn, out of respect to the memory of the late
Supervisor, James E. Power.
THE CHAIRMAN: The question is on the adoption by a rising
vote.
(All of the Supervisors rise and the chairman brings down the
gavel.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Members of the Board and fellow-citizens:
It is now my privilege to introduce to you Mr. Edward F. O'Day, a
most intimate and dear friend of the late Supervisor James E. Power,
who will deliver the eulogy on this occasion. Mr. O'Day.
MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1931. 765
MR. EDWARD F. O'DAY: Your Honor the Mayor, members of the
Board of Supervisors, ladies and gentlemen: To speak publicly of a
friend who has gone forever is an ordeal that most of us would like
to avoid. It is not easy at one and the same time to put a curb
on the private emotion of sorrow and to discriminate those outstand-
ing— but not too intimate — qualities of character that make our lost
friend worthy of public remembrance. It is, of course, a privilege
to speak in this chamber, but on this occasion it is a privilege obtained
at the heavy price of irreparable loss.
It is difficult for me to think of James E. Power the public servant
when my thoughts are engaged with the man who was my friend. It
scarcely seems of first importance to dwell upon the loss our city has
suffered when we are full of sorrow for the bereavement of a family
and of a group that loved James E. Power in the tender relationship
of family friends.
Those of us who attended his obsequies at the Elks Club and at St.
Mary's Cathedral know how profoundly Mr. William H. McCarthy and
Father Curtis plumbed the depths of his public and private qualities.
It helps us to measure his character that two such men — two such
friends — should be so deeply moved and moved to such nobility of
speech by his untimely death.
What more is said today can be but the echo of their sentiments,
different only in this respect, that a personality so rich as his pre-
sented itself in varying aspects to his various friends.
I think of Colonel Power tirst of all as a Christian gentleman — a
gentleman who feared God and therefore feared no man. A gentleman
who loved God and therefore loved his fellow-man. The Ten Com-
mandments and the Sermon on the Mount were not upon his lips, but
graven upon his soul. In the happiness of his ancestral faith he
hitched his wagon to the star that shines on Bethlehem, and in the
fine tolerance of the Golden Rule all good men, of no matter what
creed, were his brothers — commanding his respect, his sympathy, his
understanding, and his tireless generosity of helpfulness.
None knew better than he that human nature is weak. He would
be the last to call himself strong, but strong he was, and of his
strength he gave untiringly to weaker men in ways that shall never
be forgotten.
Only a few will ever know how sternly his character was tested
during the supreme experience of his career — that time when he
hoped to achieve the great ambition of his public service. It was a
bitter campaign — as campaigns waged between strong men are bound
to be. Only a few know how earnestly and sincerely he labored to
eliminate a bitterness he himself did not share — how many times he
quelled the mistaken enthusiasm of his friends — how he vetoed ill-
judged and misguided measures — and brought back to the sweet path
of charity impulsive hearts that were tempted beyond their experience
or beyond their strength. His hope of the mayoralty was frustrated.
He accepted defeat with a smile. In that trying hour James E. Power
was the same good man that he had always been, but he was a greater
citizen than ever before.
It is, of course, as a great citizen of the San Francisco he loved that
We are honoring James E. Power at this time and in this chamber.
It is not necessary to review his civic career. Policies he advocated,
measures he devised and carried through have become basic in the
conduct of our affairs. The School Department will carry his impress
forever. The Board of Supervisors — and more especially its Finance
Committee — has never known a more upright, a more enlightened or
a more constructive leader. His was the faculty that resolved diffi-
culties, accommodated jarring views and straightened out the tangles
of honest but dangerous antagonisms. He could argue with a smile —
he could convince and remain a friend. Call this politics if you will,
766 MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1931.
but remember that politics is only an odious word when its functions
are degraded by the selfish motives of petty men.
James E. Power served the federal government with the same high
efficiency that he gave to municipal business. As postmaster he had
a two-fold opportunity — to enhance the prestige of San Francisco at
Washington, where he was justly valued, and to place the strength
of the national government at the service of San Francisco's growth
and prosperity. Meanwhile he could not forget the postal worker —
that most faithful of national employees. I can think of no tribute
more truly spoken or more honestly deserved than that of an aged
letter carrier who said to me the day of James E. Power's death:
"He was the best postmaster we ever had."
During all his mature years James E. Power devoted himself to the
welfare of young men. He wanted to see boys grow into virtuous,
patriotic manhood, and the help he gave them^ — in the League of the
Cross Cadets and through other channels — will be reflected in many |
lives for many years. '
Fortunately he was not one of those puzzling philanthropists who
go abroad to do good while neglecting the duties that confront them
at home. In this hour of sorrow the wife and children of James E.
Power, while looking to heaven for consolation, may comfort them-
selves with the thought that he was as pure and true in his family
as in his public life. And the influence he exerted on young man-
hood is strikingly shown in the unfolding career of a son who has been
deemed worthy to take his place on this Board of Supervisors. It is
a high honor for the son — it speaks volumes for the father. In the
ideals of such a father the son will find his inspiration and his success. '
If San Francisco is to flourish and to develop all the riches of her
nature she must find and honor and reward men like our dear dead ]
friend, James E. Power. While we breathe to a kindly Providence
a prayer for his eternal rest, let us not forget to pray also for good
citizens to carry on the work to which he dedicated his public career, j
THE CHAIRMAN: We are honored today by the presence of a rep- •
resentative of the county officers in the person of City Attorney John ,
J. O'Toole, who will now say a few words.
CITY ATTORNEY JOHN J. O'TOOLE: Mr. Chairman, members '
of the Board of Supervisors and my fellow-citizens: After the most
eloquent words of Mr. O'Day words of mine must seem empty indeed
to express the deep feeling of sorrow and regret that I personally feel ,
at the untimely taking of a distinguished member of this Board, or
to convey to his family a sympathy that springs from the heart at I
the great loss which they have suffered. |
The work of Colonel Power in this Board of Supervisors and for the i
City of San Francisco speaks for itself and needs no words of mine >
to make itself felt among the people of San Francisco. There never
was a truer, fairer or more earnest official than the one whose chair i
is vacant here today. His duty was performed as he saw it, and there ;
was naught in this world that would swerve him from that duty when ,
he saw it in the light of duty. To him duty was a command, and i
when that command came he knew only one thing to do, and that
was, like every other true soldier, to obey that command. ;
Mr. Chairman, this Board is better and will be better because of i
the fact that James E. Power was one of its members. San Francisco ;
itself is better and will be better for the service he rendered in this ;
Board and in other positions that he held for the city that he loved. ,
And I, with the members of this Board, the other elected officials of j
San Francisco, and all the people of this great city, can only mourn '
and sorrow at the untimely taking of Colonel Power, and express
to his bereaved ones our sorrow at the great loss that has befallen
therai above all others.
MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1931. 767
THE CHAIRMAN: Supervisor Andrew J. Gallagher.
SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER: Mr. Chairman, I count it a privilege
to be able, as a member of the Board, to, for just a few moments,
speak in that capacity. Certainly we have watched the departure of
a great many men in this community. You and I and a few others
have seen pass from this active official life many men who have accom-
plished in this community things of which they could be proud. But
within my recollection there have been few men whose passing has
seemed to cause such a spontaneous wave of sympahy towards those
who will miss him most, whose loss is the hardest, and who, after all,
carry the heaviest burden. It is many years ago since I first sat with
the departed Supervisor in the old Finance Committee — those trouble-
some, hard-working days. It is many years ago since we worked
together on other lines. Jim Power, as we used to call him in a
friendly sense, Supervisor Power as we would call him in the Board,
had a peculiar faculty of holding his temper, even under great stress,
something some of us have not been able to do with all the years of
experience behind us.
One of the very first acts of his when he became a member of the
Board, after his recent victory, was to attempt to heal some of the
wounds that had been opened by the change of the legislative and
supervisorial situation. And I watched him take men at daggers'
points and bring them to a place of reasoning and agreement so that
our work here might be more peacefully done.
I stood in Holy Cross Cemetery a few days ago — it was Easter Sun-
day— and I found an old, rheumatic, crippled man, some years ago
prominent in public life, searching among the host of headstones for
a grave. And I helped him find it. And I saw him, groaning with
pain, lay his hat at the head of that stone, and kneel, under great
pain, at this grave. When he arose he said to me: "He was the best
friend I had." And I thought to myself, what a beautiful thing. In
the case of James E. Power that is multiplied thousands of times. It
is altogether too bad, of course, that he could not know what we all
thought. He saw life — he saw the tragedy of it. His boat sailed on
a river of golden dreams at times and his boat saw terrible, chopipy,
terrifying waters. We know now that he knew some months ago that
the end of the trail was in sight. And the remarkable fortitude of
the man is best expressed when we know now that he knew that soon
the curtain would fall, and knew it, as I understand, with certainty,
that his last act was to come here and vote for his friend, Mr. Rossi, a
sacrifice, under the circumstances, my friends, that only the thinking
of it makes you understand what it must have meant to him. Not
only a testimonial of loyalty, not only a gesture of the utmost friend-
ship, but coming here in the face of the journey's end, and sitting in
that chair so that he might cast his vote for a friend for a position
which he prized himself so highly, which, as Mr. O'Day said, he would
have liked to have occupied. Many a Monday afternoon and many a
day when we meet here we will look at that chair — surely it will
be occupied within a week by his sterling son — but, at the same time,
we will, in recollection and retrospection, see him sitting there.
The tribute of Father Curtis, the tribute of Mr. McCarthy, and the
tribute of Mr. O'Day is certainly deserved. And high-minded and
intellectual as all those tributes were, each one of them was deliv-
ered under the stress of a friendship which made it difficult, and
makes it difficult for us today. We sit here in this Board and contact
each other, and with the impressions that confront us we see different
sides of men other than that are presented to people on the outside.
There are a great many people who depended upon Supervisor James
E. Power, who are going to miss him, of course, because, when some-
thing was needed to be done, when some cause needed to be espoused,
he was their peculiar friendly champion.
768 MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1931.
We can only, Mr. Chairman, in kindly remembrance and recollec-
tion, and in summing up Mr. Power's life, and just before we close
the book, as we do today, to be reopened on a little private page
when his boy next week takes his place, we can only agree that, as we
knew him as a fellow-Supervisor, all of the values that have been
spoken of, regardless of our differences, were his. And in my mind
the greatest, the finest, quality that I saw in him, besides the others,
was his intense loyalty to his friends. He is mourned by thousands; he
will be missed by us. His supervisorial career was one of progress,
and I am sure it looked to me and to others that life held for him
a very fine prospect.
We say good-bye, as we have to in this hurried legislative life, to a
very good friend, and it is to be hoped that, in saying good-bye to
that friend, and trusting that God will be good to him, as we think
he deserves, we shall not forget the living, and a sympathetic wish
and hand and heart and thought for them, for that boy who, because
of the friendship for Jim Power, we owe it to that boy to take him
as if he was our own, to make his work here easy. I thank you.
THE CHAIRMAN: Supervisor Alfred Roncovieri will kindly re-
spond.
SUPERVISOR RONCOVIERI: Mr. Chairman, fellow-members of
the Board of Supervisors, ladies and gentlemen, and the bereaved
family: The announcement of the death of Supervisor James E. Power
last Monday sent a wave of sorrow over San Francisco.
Born in this city, his life was an open book. There was no flaw in
his armor, and no stain upon his shield. It was, and will ever be,
my great privilege in the years to come to remember that I was
intimately associated with him in the efforts he made to advance his
native city in the noble ideals that give to a community its high char-
acter before the world.
James E. Power suddenly halted in his course while yet seemingly
strong in body and mind, and his sun set in the mid-summer of his
life.
Those of us who called him friend know that he was a friend
indeed.
But it was in his dear little home circle that his warm heart was
best known. He was a model and devoted husband and father. It
was in his home that he found his greatest joy, in the confidence of
wife and children.
The stern hand of Destiny has dealt his beloved family a severe
blow, but in the face of the unutterable sorrow which is theirs may
they be comforted by the fragrance of thought that his memory is
held in sacred remembrance by a host of friends whose gentle sym-
pathies are extended to the family in an atmosphere of mutual love.
Colonel Power was a man among men. He attracted to himself the
strong and the virile, for he was a natural-born leader.
He was distinguished for those qualities of head and heart which
ennoble man even unto the image of his Creator. He was loyal, able
and courageous in behalf of right; always a generous and chivalrous
opponent; but never an enemy.
He was faithful and ever conscious of his duty to God, walking in
humility before his Maker.
He was a patriot, ever alive to the rights of the American home,
American youth and manhood, and American civilization. He was
generous with his loyalty and with his love as he was with his
charity, and this won for him universal friendship.
I feel a personal bereavement in his passing, for Colonel Power's
life was a benediction, and he was my best friend. His family and all
who knew him have lost infinitely more than I can express — but
heaven has gained thereby.
I
MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1931. 769
After a long illness, and with a patience born of an heroic soul,
uncomplainingly he fell asleep in the faith of his fathers, trusting
that the Hand that had guided him through dangers, seen and un-
seen, would yet arouse him from the watches of an eternal night.
His sublime faith was manifest unto the last, when he whispered
to the reverend father who anointed him the prayers and the re-
sponses that he had learned at his mother's knee. All was well and
he was going home, and would await the coming of his loved ones.
It is as natural to die as it is to live. Death is the low door and
the narrow passage through which we must all travel to that mys-
terious realm of eternity; but the blessed hope of immortality sends a
gleam of radiant light into our souls when contemplating death as
a prelude to a higher life.
Our friend has but preceded us. May we be as well prepared to
meet Almighty God as was he when we hear the last summons.
THE CHAIRMAN: We will be pleased to hear from any other
member of the Board who wishes to speak at this time. Mr. Mul-
crevy, would you like to say a few words?
COUNTY CLERK MULCREVY: Mr. President of the Board and
members of the Board of Supervisors, and fellow-citizens: The good
deeds of men have been the nourishment upon which the world has
grown wholesome and excellent. And so long as good men and good
deeds continue will the world progress in wholesomeness and excel-
lence. James E. Power was the personification of good deeds. Doing
good, always doing good for all. After what has been so eloquently
said it can all be summarized in the fact that James E. Power lived
amongst us, that he died and was buried. His life should be an
inspiration to us and we should endeavor to emulate him. He left no
great wealth in this world's goods, but he left an inheritance greater
than mines of gold, a heritage of an honorable name. He was an
honorable man, distinguished among his fellow-citizens, elevated to
high places as the representative of the people. He was a devoted
husband and affectionate father and a loyal friend. We may well
follow his example in our private lives and in the conduct of public
affairs, so that when the inevitable hour does come for each of us
we may be, as little children, smilingly stepping from a beautiful
garden to a luxurious meadow, to be there awaited by our faithful
and our loving friend.

Report of Legislative Committee.
San Francisco, April 20, 1931.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors:
Gentlemen: Your committee on legislation submits the following
report :
On Monday, April 13, 1931, the Charter of the City and County of
San Francisco was presented to and ratified by the Assembly and
Senate of the State of California, by joint resolution of both houses.
Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 10, providing for the support
of elementary and high schools by a sales tax, failed to pass out of the
committee on constitutional amendments.
Senate Bill No. 504 proposing to amend Section 394 of the Code of
Civil Procedure by striking out the provisions which constrain the
plaintiff to bring his action in the county where the injury occurred,
was amended by the proposer, on request. Section 394 will remain as
it now is and persons injured must bring their action against a city,
city or county, or county, in the county in which the accident
happened.
Senate Bill No. 509, proposing to amend Section 1248 of the Code of
Civil Procedure and to change the measure of damages where water
or the use of water is taken, will be amended by the proponent.
This bill is important as it would change the measure of damages
from the market value of the land to the value of the proposed use.
MONDAY, APRIL 20, 1931. 837
Senate Bill No. 578, introduced b(y Senator Pellom, was voted to pass
by the Assembly Committee on Roads and Highways. The bill pro-
vides for the creation and operation of joint highway districts.

Assembly Bill No. 1044, relating to the disposal of garbage was
signed by the Governor on Friday, April 17, 1931.
Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 29 failed to pass the
Assembly Committee on Constitutional Amendments.
This bill proposed to authorize a majority vote on bonds after a
certificate had been obtained from tlie Railroad Assembly Bill No. 218,
relating to special assessments, has been held up in the Assembly after
being passed out by the Committee on Municipal Corporations.
This bill would limit special assessments to one-half (i^) of the
true value of the property assessed and would require the State Board
of Equalization to determine the ratio of assessed value to true value.
An amendment will be offered on the floor to exempt chartered
municipalities. Should this not be accepted amendments will be offered
substituting appraised value as the basis of the special assessments
and striking out all reference to the State Board of Equalization.
Senate Bill No. 577 has passed the Senate and is now in the Assem-
I bly for assignment to its proper committee.
This is an important bill as it provides as follows:
"the state or the political subdivision thereof causing such paving,
repaving, macadamizing, remacadamizing or improvement to be done,
shall bear the expense thereof when the same is caused as a result
of changing the quality or quantity of paving or improving the surface
or any portion of the surface of any street or highway used by such
track or tracks; and provided, further, that no person, company, asso-
ciation or corporation owning or operating any track or tracks along
such highway or street shall be required to construct or install in the
first instance any paving along the whole or any part of the street,
streets, highway or highways occupied by the track or tracks of such
person, company, association or corporations."
Proper data should be furnished to our representatives in the Assem-
bly so that they may know the approximate loss to the City if this
bill passes.
Respectfully submitted,
J. McSHEEHY.

Summoning City Engineer and Manager of San Francisco Water

Detail of Charges Preferred Against John G. Little, Civil Engi-

Resolved, That City Engineer M. M. O'Shaughnessy and Nelson A.
Eckart, manager of the San Francisco Water Department, be and they
are hereby requested and summoned to appear before this Board of
Supervisors at the next meeting of the Board and submit an explana-
tion, in detail, of the charges which have been preferred against John
G. Little, civil engineer, before the State Board of Registration for
Civil Engineers.
Statements of Engineers.
The following matters were read by the Clerk:
San Francisco, Cal., May 4, 1931.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of the City and County of
Sau Francisco.
Gentlemen: In response to the request made by resolution of your
Board adopted April 27 that we submit an explanation in detail of
the charges which have been preferred against John G. Little before
the State Board of Registration for Civil Engineers, the following is
submitted :
Before entering into an explanation of these charges, we desire to
preface the statement by saying that in preferring these charges
against Mr. Little we deny most emphatically any intent of casting
any reflection on the Board of Supervisors or any member of the
Board. We feel that the question involved is entirely one affecting
us personally, as engineers, and the engineering profession in general,
and we fail to see how the matter is one which in the slightest de-
gree can be construed to be an affront to any member of the Board.
Mr. Little is a registered civil engineer licensed by the State Board
of Registration for Civil Engineers, which body is charged by the laws
of the State with responsibility for passing on the qualifications of
engineers and any question of competency which may be brought
properly to their attention.
Briefly reviewing the circumstances leading up to the filing of the
charges, we should point out that your Board had duly appointed a
committee to investigate the probability of a shortage of water in
San Francisco and the probable sources to which the City might look,
together with the cost of such water and the necessary construction
to make the same available. This committee consisted of the then
Mayor, Hon. James Rolph, Jr.; the then Chairman of the Finance Com-
mittee, Angelo J. Rossi; the Chairman of the Public Utilities Com-
mittee, Jesse C. Colman; Supervisor Andrew J. Gallagher, Supervisor
J. Emmet Hayden; the President of the Board of Public Works, T. A.
Reardon; the City Attorney, John J. O'Toole; the City Engineer, M.
MONDAY, MAY 4, 1931. 887
M. O'Shaughnessy, and the General Manager of the Water Department,
N. A. Eckart. This committee, after a number of meetings at which
were carefully considered data and engineering reports compiled by
the engineers of the San Francisco Water Department and concurred
In by the City Engineer's office, covering the entire water situation
and the available sources of supply, under date of September 29, 1930,
submitted to your Board the result of its investigations and its recom-
mendations, which were as follows:
Recommendations.
After full consideration of all elements of the problem, and in view
of the very definite possibility of an acute and prolonged water short-
age unless adequate steps are immediately taken to prevent, or at least
insure against the same, this committee makes the following recom-
mendations :
1. That your Board pass the necessary legislation authorizing and
directing the Board of Public Works to enter into contracts for the
purchase of the necessary pipes, pumping equipment and auxiliaries
and to complete, as far as may be necessary to insure San Francisco
against a water shortage, a connection between the East Bay Munici-
pal Utility District and the bay Crossing pipe of the Hetch Hetchy
project — now utilized by the Water Department, and appropriating
from the proper funds the necessary cost of such work, estimated at
$1,196,000.
2. That your Board pass the necessary ordinance authorizing the
Board of Public Works to enter into an agreement, to be approved by
the City Attorney, with the East Bay Municipal Utility District, under
the general terms of their offer in which they agree to furnish up to
20,000,000 gallons of water daily for a period of three years for the
sum of $292,500, plus 4 cents per 100 cubic feet of water furnished,
which period may be extended under agreed conditions, and that ad-
ditional water up to approximately 30 mgd. may be obtained at the
same price, providing they are reimbursed for the additional cost of
increasing the system capacity.
3'. That your Board, by resolution, declare that an emergency exists,
and calling upon the Board of Public Works and all concerned to use
every endeavor to expedite the work to the end that the fullest value
of insurance may be obtained for the money expended.
Following its presentation, this report was referred to the Ptiblia
Utilities Committee, who the following week — Monday, October 6 — re-
ported it back to the Board with the approval of the committee, to-
gether with the necessary ordinances to carry out those recommenda-
tions.
Subsequently, on motion of Supervisor McSheehy, October 14, your
Board appointed a committee consisting of Supervisors Havenner,
Shannon, Stanton, Miles and McSheehy to check the report of the
original committee in reference to purported water famine.
Supervisor McSheehy, as chairman of this committee, engaged John
B. Little. Under date of November 17, 1930, Mr. Little submitted to
Mr. McSheehy his report and recommendations. Following is the re-
port:
November 17, 1931.
Hon. James B. McSheehy, Chairman of Special Committee on Water
Supply Investigation of the Board of Supervisors, San Francisco,
Cal.:
Dear Sir: As directed, I have made an examination of the San
Francisco water system, and have to report as follows:
Attached Exhibits Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are familiar to all mem-
bers of the Board and are self-explanatory.
888 MONDAY, MAY 4, 1931.
These documents indicate a very serious water shortage, and a phys-
ical survey of the reservoirs intensifies tliis impression.
Out of a total storage capacity west of Tracy of 65.000,000,000 gal-
lons, we have only 8,000,000,000 gallons in the reservoirs.
It would be folly for San Francisco to proceed on any course that
does not assure a positive addition to her present water supply within
six months' time.
Tlie following recommendations are submitted:
1. That nothing be done to prevent the Board of Public Works from
entering into the proposed contract with the East Bay Municipal Utili-
ties District.
2. That a pipe line approximately as outlined in Mr. Eckart's re-
port under Proposal "A" be immediately constructed from Tesla Portal
over Altamont Pass, and preferably continuing on to Sunol.
3. That the Hetch Hetchy aqueduct system be completed with all
possible speed, and in not more than six months' time, from the
O'Shaughnessy dam to Sunol, utilizing the pipe line above mentioned
as a part of this system.
4. That no further expenditures be made upon the Coast Range tun-
nels until we are drinking Hetch Hetchy water from the faucets in
San Francisco, except in the preserving of the works already accom-
plished. JOHN G. LITTLE, Civil Engineer.
It is on the basis of certain statements and recommendations made
in this report and certain statements made before the Board of Super-
visors by Mr. Little that we felt constrained to file the charges before
the Board of Registration for Civil Engineers, which are as follows:
M. M. O'SHAUGHNESSY and N. A. ECKART, Complainants, vs.
JOHN G. LITTLE, Respondent.
We, each being duly sworn, complain and say:
That John G. Little, the respondent above named, is registered with
the State Board of Registration for Civil Engineers of the State of
California under Register No. 377; that said respondent has committed
acts of gross incompetency in his practice of civil engineering in this,
that:
Said respondent did on or about the 17th day of November, 1930,
render to a special committee on water supply investigation of the
Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco a pur-
ported engineering report upon the San Francisco water system, which
report was made without proper or adequate investigation by said re-
spondent and without proper or adequate examination of the matters
and things which said report purports to cover.

Subscribed and sworn to before me this 23rd day of March, 1931.
FLORENCE M. HANDY,
Notary public in and for the City and County of San Francisco, State
of California. My commission expires August 13, 1931.
Mr. Little, after the most superficial investigation of the water sup-
ply situation, did not hesitate to recommend the adoption of a plan
for the relief of a recognized serious and acute threatened shortage
which, if adopted, could not have been completed, we feel certain,
within the time recognized as available. His plan further involved
the abandonment of a feasible plan recommended by engineers thor-
oughly familiar, through long experience and intensive study, with
the entire situation, and which plan at the time was well under way
i
MONDAY, MAY 4, 1931. 889
toward being carried out. As the situation lias developed, we feel
that the Board of Supervisors are to be congratulated in having voted
to proceed with the construction of the East Baj^ pipe line in accord-
ance with the plan recommended by the original committee, instead
of having attempted to complete the San Joaquin crossing and a pipe
line over Altamont Pass by May 17 to avert the shortage, as Mr. Little
recommended.
Illustrative of the lack of proper and adequate investigation on
this matter: Mr. Little in his report of November 17 advised that "We
have only 8,000,000,000 gallons in the reservoirs." As a matter of fact,
on that date we had only 7,216,000,000 gallons in our reservoirs, as
against 8,142,000,000 on October 17, a month before.
In his statement before the Board, Mr. Little gave the length of
the proposed line from Tesla to Sunol via Altamont Pass as not more
than 30 miles^as a matter of fact, it would be nearer 37 miles. Evi-
dently Mr. Little did not even take the trouble to scale the length of
his proposed line from a map; presumably he guessed that it would
not be more than 30 miles.
We feel that Mr. Little did not adequately investigate the feasibility
of completing the San Joaquin-Altamont-Sunol pipe line within six
months, or by May 17, 1931. We feel that he was not at all certain
that this could be done, yet he did not hesitate to recommend it in-
stead of carrying out the plan recommended by your original com-
mittee and which has been approved by your Board and, as was pointed
out, was well under way.
Further, Mr. Little did not hesitate, without, according to his own
statement, having inspected or even visited the Coast Range tunnels,
to recommend on them, except in preserving the work already ac-
complished. This in spite of the fact that the people of San Fran-
cisco by an emphatic vote had authorized the construction and com-
pletion of these tunnels. He admitted he did not know the expense of
maintaining these tunnels, even with no progress being made, would
be not less than $540,000 for a six months' period.
We feel that certain of the recommendations of Mr. Little as con-
tained in his report are not logical on the basis of the known facts
available or easily ascertained, and that if these recommendations
had been adopted for the purpose of meeting the emergency there
would have resulted a gross waste of money and the health and pros-
perity of the City would have been imperiled.
Under authorization of your Board, the Water Department, sup-
ported by the City Engineer, has provided for the emergency supply
which we will be able to draw on from the East Bay District at the
rate of 35,000,000 gallons per day; 5,500,000 gallons per day from the
Sunset wells, and in addition to which there has been available from
the Livermore tunnels 4,000,000 gallons per day, a total of 45,000,000
gallons per day.
In view of the above, and believing that when an engineer is called
upon to check the work of other engineers, he owes it to those engi-
neers, to his client and the engineering profession to thoroughly in-
vestigate the problem in the light of all available data. This would
seem to be, if anything, more strongly applicable to those features of
the problem where his findings are not in accord with the plans or
report of the engineers whose work he is called upon to check.
The State of California, recognizing the necessity of protecting the
public by providing for the establishment and enforcement of certain
standards of proficiency in the professions, as witness the laws regu-
lating the practice of architecture and medicine, and the recent action
of the Bar Association against ambulance chasers, something over a
year ago enacted a law regulating the practice of engineering, and
provided for the creation of a board of three engineers appointed by
890 MONDAY, MAY 4, 1931.
the Governor to administer the act. The hearing of the charges against
Mr. Little is to be before this body.
We trust the foregoing statement answers the request of the Board.
Respectfully submitted,
M. M. O'SHAUGHNESSY,
N. A. ECKART.
November 21, 1930.
Mr. Albert J. Givan, Secretary of Board of Registration of Civil Engi-
neers, Sacramento, Cal.
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find copy of report made by John G.
Little, civil engineer, to a Supervisors' Committee on November 17,
1930.
Mr. Little pretends to pass on hydraulic problems, of which he is
entirely ignorant, and lent himself as a tool to a political buccaneer
to bolster up a report which is adverse to the Hetch Hetchy project.
You will see from Paragraph 4 that he says, "That no further ex-
penditures be made upon the Coast Range tunnels until we are drink-
ing Hetch Hetchy water from the faucets of San Francisco, except in
the preserving of the works already accomplished."
We had a hearing on Monday, November 17, and Tuesday, Novem-
ber 18, on this proposition, and only one Supervisor finally sustained
Mr. Little's report. This Supervisor is a notorious agitator and po-
litical derelict, and got a special fund of $1,000 to work up his propa-
ganda against the recommendation of Mr. Eckart, myself, the Public
Utilities Committee and the Finance Committee to obtain an emer-
gency water supply.
The object of the raiders on our recommendation was to juggle up
the Hetch Hetchy project. Today we are working on the last 28.6-
mile tunnel from Tesla, seven miles south of Tracy, to Irvington. Prac-
tically 15 miles of the tunnel is made. We have 13 miles more to
finish, and we are encountering great difficulties, which engineers
have to experience on many problems, such as soft grounds, which
need continuous timbering, gas pockets in the Franciscan formation,
and lastly, superabundance of water in the west part of the tunnel
near Irvington. This naturally delays the work, but the engineers of
the City, with an unblemished record of achievement, are pushing the
work with all skill and vitality in the interest of the taxpayers.
Mr. McSheehy solicited several engineers to approve his adverse
report on building twelve miles of pipe line from San Leandro down
to Newark, which gives the City adequate relief with water. They
all declined to have anything to do with it except Little.
I am not excited or angry over the contest, because it cut no ice,
but it was imprincipled and unprofessional for an engineer bearing
the stamp of the State of California to indulge in such practice, and
I respectfully recommend that his license be suspended for a period
of one year.
Very respectfully,
M. M. O'SHAUGHNESSY,
City Engineer.
Action Deferred.

"Yerba Buena Island."
Resolution No. 34372 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, there is situated in the San Francisco Bay, midway be-
tween San Francisco and Oakland, a beautiful island which consti-
tutes a source of pleasure from an aesthetic viewpoint, and upon
which are quartered many of the personnel of the United States Navy;
and
Whereas, through custom and usage this scenic spot has acquired
the distasteful appellation of "Goat Island," a name which is repug-
nant and particularly inapplicable to this island; and

offensive to the personnel of the United States Navy as well as to
the beauty-loving citizens of San FYancisco; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the City and County of San Francisco, through its
duly constituted officials, does hereby declare its policy to be that in
all future dealings involving this island it shall be designated as
Yerba Buena Island; and be it

hereby urged to officially designate this island "Yerba Buena Island";

Report of Legislative Committee.
The following was presented by Supervisor McSheehy and copies
ordered sent to members:
May 4, 1931.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors:
Gentlemen: Your Committee on Legislation reports as follows:
On Monday, April 27th, Senate Bill 504 was passed out by the
Senate Committee on Judiciary, as amended. This bill, as it now
reads, is satisfactory, as it retains the provision that actions for negli-
gence, when brought against a municipality, must be tried in the
county in which the action accrued.
On Tuesday, April 28th, Assembly Bills 1597 and 1598 passed the
Assembly. These bills would compel a county water district, before it
could construct any waterworks in a territory in which there is an
existing system, operating as a public utility, to purchase such system.
These bills have had opposition, but the smaller communities do not
seem to realize the effect upon them should they wish to install a new
and efficient system to replace one that is old, insufficient or impure.
Your committee will continue to oppose this bill in the Senate.
On Wednesday, April 29th, Assembly Bills 1879 and 1880 passed the
Assembly. These bills enable the Board of Harbor Commissioners,
after fixing the line of a sea wall, to permit, by agreement, private
interests to construct the sea wall and to be reimbursed from tolls and
charges collected by the commission. The sea wall will be owned by
the State and be under the supervision of the Harbor Commission.
On Thursday, April 30th, Assembly Bill 218, relating to special
assessments, was submitted to a sub-committee of the Senate on Muni-
cipal Corporations. As we suceeded in having the City and County
of San Francisco amended out of the bill our only interest is to see
that it is not put back.
On Thursday, April 30th, Senate Bill 577 (the Mixter Bill) was
passed out, as amended, by the Assembly Committee on Municipal
Corportions. This bill deals with the paving between tracks by street
railway companies.
At the hearing the City and County of San Francisco was the only
objector to the bill and suceeded in having stricken from the bill the
following provision:
". . . provided, however, that the state or the political subdivision
thereof causing such paving, repaving, macadamizing or remacadam-
izing or improvement to be done, shall bear the expense thereof when
the same is caused as a result of changing the quality or quantity of
paving or improving the surface or any portion of the surface of any
street or highway used by such track or tracks."
938 MONDAY, MAY 4, 1931.
While the bill, as amended, is less objectionable, we must continue
to resist its passage.
On Thursday afternoon a meeting was held in the office of the Gov-
ernor to consider the Harbor Bills. Representatives were present from
the Chamber of Commerce, shipping interests, agricultural interests,
the Harbor Commissioners and members of the Senate and Assembly.
The meeting lasted about three hours and, although the bills were
discussed at length, no definite action was taken.
On Thursday evening the Senate Committee on Education passed
out Senate Bill 665, as amended, with favorable recommendation. This
bill creates a board of appeal to review the school budget. The appel-
late board, under the bill as amended, would consist of three members
of the Board of Education, three taxpayers in the school district, ap-
pointed by the Board of Education, and three taxpayers in the school
district, appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
Respectfully submitted,
JAS. B. McSHEEHY,
VICTOR J. CANEPA,

dred and eighty-seven thereof.
Be it ordained by the People of the City and County of San Fran-
cisco as follows:
Section 1. Ordinance No. 1061, entitled "Regulating the width of
sidewalks," approved December 18, 1903, be and is hereby amended
in accordance with the communication of the Board of Public Works,
filed in this office April 24, 1931, by amending Section ten hundred and
eighty-seven thereof to read as follows:
Section 1087. The width of sidewalks on Peralta avenue between
Mullen street and Rutledge street shall be as shown on those certain
maps entitled "Map of Peralta avenue between Mullen street and
Montcalm street" and "Peralta avenue between Montcalm street and
Rutledge street," showing the location of street and curb lines and
the width of sidewalks.
The width of sidewalks on Peralta avenue between Rutledge street
and Esmeralda avenue shall be fifteen (15) feet.
Section 2. Any expense caused by the above change of walk widths
shall be borne by the property owners.

Inspection of County Jail Sites.
Supervisor Shannon announced that the Board of Supervisors would
investigate jail sites in San Mateo County on Saturday, members to
meet at City Hall at 10 a. m. for that pui^pose.
Supervisor Havenner: I would like to ask the City Attorney if he
would advise the Board, at the next meeting, just what the rights
of the City and County will be if this site, or any site, is purchased
in San Mateo County. I would like to know whether San Francisco
would be secure in the possession of the property, and the use of the
property which is intended, and what safeguards we would have
against actions for removal in the future and just what the safety

946 MONDAY, MAY 11, 1931.
south of San FVancisco County line, fronting on the Half-Moon Bay-
Purissima Highway.
Cost — $425 per acre.
Visibility — Good.
Soil— Good.
Water — There are two wells and a spring and a reservoir on this
property. The present water supply will not be sufficient for the jail,
but at an estimated cost of $25,000 a pipeline can be constructed from
the City supply near Colma to the ranch.
Site No. 2 — Josephine C. Yalencia, Pillar Point.
Location — On Half Moon Bay Road, 23 miles from San Francisco
County line.
Area — 240 plus acres.
Cost— $100,000 or about $416 per acre.
Visibility — Good.
Soil— Good.
Water — Engineer's reports state the water supply to be satisfactory
as to quality, and will be sufficient for jail purposes.
Note---At a joint meeting of the Buildings and Lands Committee
with the Supervisors of San Mateo County, on account of opposition
from the San Mateo Supervisors, Sites Nos. 1 and 2 were not further
considered.
Site No. 3 — The CassinelU Ranch.
Location — One mile south of Half Moon Bay and distant 28.7 miles

fourths of a mile.
The western portion of the property embracing approximately 200
acres is flat— lying along the main highway. It merges into gentle
sloping land and then broad rolling hill slopes to a crest in the rear
of the property. The topography is smooth and clear of brush, giving
excellent visibility. All but a small tract in the northeast corner has
been or is under cultivation.
Leon Creek flows through the ranch near the northeast boundary for
a distance of 3095 feet.
Water rights have not been adjudicated, but it appears that the
ranch has an appropriative right to the flow of Leon Creek to the extent I
of 60 miner's inches (540 gallons per minute) ; 777,600 gallons i>er day.
when available, and needed, and the dam can impound 3,400,000
gallons.

cost.
The complete water system is located upon the property as offered.
The soil is good.
This site, comprising, as stated heretofore, of 420 acres (more or:
less), has been offered for the sum of $95,000.

Appraisal of the Value of Properties Suggested for Jail Sites in
San Mateo County.
May 11, 1931.
Honorable Board of Supervisors,
City Hall,
San Francisco.
Gentlemen: In pursuance with your request of May 6, I have made
an investigation of the value of the Cassinelli Ranch and the Pillar
I Point site and beg leave to submit the following report:
I I had for my information the report of Mr. F. W. Roeding, Superin-
, tendent of the Agricultural Division of the San Francisco Water
I Department; report of Mr. Chas. H. Lee, Consulting Hydraulic Engi-
l neer of the water supply possibilities of the Cassinelli Ranch (this
I report was made at the request of Mr. E. J. Cassinelli, the owner) ;
report of Mr. M. J. Bartell, dated March, 1931, on nine sites in San
Mateo County.
No actual survey has been made of any of these sites, so it is im-
i possible to accurately determine the amount of flat land as against
; hill land. In Mr. Lee's report he states that there are approximately
I 200 acres of flat land lying along the main highway. Mr. Roeding
; reports the flat land at 100 acres and states that the southerly portion
j contains a depression which would be swampy in a normal winter,
i This southerly portion is included in the 100 acres.
' With the limited amount of data on hand it would be impossible
: to make an accurate appraisal and the figures quoted herein are sub-
j ject to slight revisions.
I I visited the Cassinelli ranch early Friday morning, May 8, and
I drove almost to the top of the watershed in back. There are ten or
; eleven ranches and a schoolhouse located on this watershed and sev-
I eral pumping plants are in operation on the stream. Mr. Lee admits
that there is no underground storage on the Cassinelli ranch, so an
, appraisal of this property would have to take into consideration the
I water rights on Leon Creek which flowes through the property. From
all of the maps submitted it was impossible to determine whether
Leon Creek was the boundary line. Mr. Lee and the owner informed
me, however, on Saturday when I again visited the property, that
the property line was five feet northeast of the further bank of the
stream. The water right was initiated June 14, 1912, in accordance
with the Civil Code requirements by the posting and recording of a
notice of appropriation, and called for a division of the use of water
between the Cassinelli ranch and Johnston ranch adjoining on the
north.
948 MONDAY, MAY 11, 1931.
I am informed by the owner that the concrete dam on Leon Creek
on the Cassinelli ranch was constructed at a cost of $10,000. Mr. Lee
estimates that at an additional cost of $30,000 the present dam in the
center of the ranch could be increased in height. In his report he
states "the dam can easily be repaired and raised three or four feet
with present slopes." However, in my conversation with him on the
property on Saturday, he stated that the present dam would merely
be used as the toe of a new structure to be built entirely inside of
the present structure.
Taking into consideration the acreage of this property with its
water rights and the present means of impounding the water, I am
of the opinion that approximately $57,000 is the present market value.
As stated above, a careful survey might change this figure, but not in
miy opinion to any great extent.
On Friday, after completing my visit to the Cassinelli ranch, I
visited the Pillar Point site, driving around the top of the hill and
driving for a considerable distance over the watershed of Dennison
Creek, which supplies the water for this property. This property is
riparian to Dennison Creek and the flow of the stream has been
divided by a Superior Court Decree among the owners tributary
thereto.
Mr. Bartell reports that the present wells on the property would
furnish sufficient water of good quality for a number of years to come.
No accurate survey has been made of this property separating the
hill land from the flat land. However, from the information obtained
from the report of Mr. Roeding, I would estimate the market value of
this property at about $75,000.
I had no opportunity on Fridaiy to visit the Franchesi ranch and
made my first visit to this property with the Board of Supervisors on
Saturday, May 9. I understand that the price asked is $425 per acre
throughout and consists partly of flat land and partly hilly land.
While I am not prepared to make an appraisal on this property, I
would state that in my opinion that this property is not worth the
price asked.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH J. PHILLIPS,
Chief Right of Way Agent.
Appraisals Requested.
Supervisor Peyser requested that the right of way agent submit
appraisals of all sites and get the final selling price for each.
So ordered.
Action Deferred.
Whereupon, on motion of Supervisor Shannon the foregoing matter
was laid over one loeek and made a Special Order for 2:30 p. m.
Notice of Hearing Appeals, Castro Street.
Hearing the appeals filed by Mrs. Anna L. Paulsen, et al., from

vide, in addition to other provisions required by law, that any person
performing labor in the State of California, in the execution of such

by virtue of, or made necessary by said contract, by him or by any
subcontractor under him, and every said contract shall have in-
serted therein a clause to this effect; and every contractor or sub-

ficer, board or commission awarding the contract or authorizing pay-
ments for work performed thereunder, when certifying to the Treas-

such amounts forfeited.

contract for any public work or improvement to be performed in the
State of California shall include in the specifications setting forth
the terms of performance of said contract a detailed statement of
such prevailing rates of wages which the successful contractor will
be required to pay, including holiday and overtime work.
Every contract falling under the terms of Section 1 hereof shall
contain a provision that the contractor shall insert in every sub-
contract entered into provisions regarding such rates of wages and
hours of labor identical with the provisions set forth in the contract
which he has been awarded.
Section 4. The contracts herein set forth shall also include all
other provisions demanded by the Charter of the City and County of

same shall be deemed guilty of misfeasance and upon proof of such
misfeasance shall be removed from office.

paragraph of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitu-
tional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portions of this ordinance. The Board of Supervisors hereby declares
that it would have passed this ordinance and each part thereof irre-
spective of the fact that any one or more portions thereof may be de-
clared unconstitutional.
Section 8. In addition to all other penalties herein provided, a vio-
lation of any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be
a misdemeanor and shall be punished accordingly.

Members of the Board of Supervisors,
City and County of San Francisco, California.
Honorable Gentlemen: It is with a deep sense of appreciation that
I take this opportunity of thanking you for the many kind and com-
forting services you performed to honor my beloved husband at the
time of his death.
Sorrow in the loss of a loved one is inevitable, and only time can
assuage it, but the knowledge that he was honored among men and
that his last rites were beautiful and in keeping with his life has
lessened that sorrow as much as anything can at this time. Your
prompt and generous actions made public tb« respect in which my
husband was held and added much to the dignity and solemnity of
our last tributes to him. I am keenly aware that no smallest detail
was neglected which might conceivably express your regret at his
passing or bring one meager vestige of comfort to his stricken family.
My son and daughter join me in begging you to accept our heartfelt
and lasting gratitude.
Respectfully yours,
WINIFRED F. POWER.

Explanation of Vote.
Supervisor Gallagher: I am perfectly willing this goes through, but
I wish the record to show, Mr. Chairman, that if the condition con-
cerning the paving, the construction of the tracks, and the usual pro-
visions regarding the taking up of same and the maintenance of same
during the life of this project are not what we think they should be,
I reserve the right to attack this permit. I mean not to attack it, but
take it up.
Mr. Chairman, with relation to No. 7, of course, I regret that al-
though I searched, I could not find the information, and I am not able
to satisfy myself of these important provisions. I can simply say, Mr.
Chairman, that I shall not obstruct at this time or object, but shall
vote for it, and I wish the Clerk to take from me the statement here
now made and to please hand me a copy of it later, to-wit: That I
insist that the conditions relating to the rights and authority of the
administrative boards of the City to require the proper amount and
kind of pavement in the installation and as is contained in other fran-
chises granted, and that the rights and authority of the adminis-
trative departments of the City to order repairs of the tracks or of
pavement, and upon the expiration or withdrawal or the giving up
of the privileges of this permit by the holding company, that said
company binds itself, without equivocation, usless otherwise requested
by the authorities in whom the power is vested, to remove its rails
and place the street in a condition agreeable to the City, assuming
that those provisions are somewhere within the legislative reach of
this permit, I will vote for it. However, I find they are not so stated
MONDAY, MAY 18, 1931. 1005
las to leave room for no doubt in the future as to the people's rights in
the premises, and I will reserve the right to either include the pro-
visions or to rescind in order that those provisions might be properly
included.
Motion.
Superisor Havenner moved that the City Attorney advise the Board
of Supervisors as to the questions raised by Supervisor Gallagher by
next meeting.
Final Passage.
The following bill, heretofore passed for printing, was taken up and
finally passed by the following vote:
Wage Ordinance for City Contracts.
On recommendation of Finance Committee.

I Relating to the provisions of contracts for work to be performed at
I the expense of the City and County of San Francisco, or paid for out
of moneys deposited in the treasury, and providing for the enforce-
ment of this ordinance.
Be it ordained by the People of the City and County of San Fran-
cisco as follows:
Section 1. Every contract for any public work or improvement to
be performed within the State of California at the expense of the
City and County or paid for out of moneys deposited in the treasury,
' whether such work be done directly under contract awarded, or indi-
rectly by or under subcontract, subpartnership, day labor, station
work, piece work, or any other arrangement whatsoever, must pro-
vide, in addition to other provisions required by law, that any person
performing labor in the State of California, in the execution of such
contract, subcontract, subpartnership, day labor, station work, piece
work or other arrangement, shall be paid not less than the highest
general prevailing rate of wages in private employment for similar
work in the City and County of San Francisco; provided, however,
that the minimum wages or compensation of any such person per-
forming such labor shall be not less than three dollars ($3) per day,
' and that in the performance of the contract eight hours shall be the
maximum hours of labor on any calendar day; and provided further,
that the foregoing provisions as to payment of the highest general
prevailing rate of wages shall not apply to materials for which no

Section 2. The Civil Service Commission shall, upon request of the
Board of Supevisors, furnish the said Board with data as to the
highest general prevailing rate of wages, as herein defined, including
such rate of wages paid, overtime and holiday work, and the Board
of Supervisors shall on or before the first Monday of January and

time work, in private employment in the City and County of San
Francisco for work similar to that which is usually performed at the
expense of the City and County, and such wages shall remain in force
until the next said subsequent determination by the Board of Super-
visors. Every contract referred to in the first section of this ordi-
nance shall provide that the determination of the Board of Super-
visors then in force with respect to the general prevailing rate of
wages in private employment in the City and County of San Fran-
cisco for similar work shall be binding upon the parties during the
1 life of such contract. The contractor and/or subcontractor shall be

i
jointly and severally liable and shall forfeit as a penalty to the City
and County of San Francisco ten dollars ($10) for each laborer,
workman or mechanic employed, for each calendar day, or portion
thereof, such laborer, workman or mechanic is paid less than said
rate of wages set forth in said contract for any work done under, or
by virtue of, or made necessary by said contract, by him or by any
subcontractor under him, and every said contract shall have in-
serted therein a clause to this effect; and every contractor or sub-
contractor wilfully violating said terms or provisions of any contract
or subcontract shall be deemed to be an irresponsible bidder upon
all future contracts for public works or improvements to be per-
formed for said City and County, and it shall be the duty of tne of-
ficer, board or commission awarding the contract or authorizing pay-
ments for work performed thereunder, when certifying to the Treas-
urer any sums for payment, to deduct any and all amounts forfeited
by the contractor, and/or subcontractor, as aforesaid hereunder, and
it shall be the duty of the Treasurer to withhold the payment of any
such amounts forfeited.
Section Z. The ofl5cer, board or commission authorized to let any
contract for any public work or improvement to be performed in the
State of California shall include in the specifications setting forth
the terms of performance of said contract a detailed statement of
such prevailing rates of wages which the successful contractor will
be required to pay, including holiday and overtime work.
Every contract falling under the terms of Section 1 hereof shall
contain a provision that the contractor shall insert in every sub-
contract entered into provisions regarding such rates of wages and
hours of labor identical with the provisions set forth in the contract
which he has been awarded.
Section 4. The contracts herein set forth shall also include all
other provisions demanded by the Charter of the City and County of
San Francisco in relation to residence and citizenship of persons em-
ployed and preference of employment of persons engaged in the exe-
cution of such contracts.
Section 5. Every contract shall contain a clause that the contractor
shall keep or cause to be kept an accurate record of the name, resi-
dence address, citizenship, occupation and per diem pay of each per-
son engaged in the execution of such contract, and every subcontract
entered into by said contractor shall contain such a provision binding
upon said subcontractor compelling performance of this section. Said
books shall at all times be open to inspection by duly constituted and
delegated officials of the City and County of San Francisco.
Section 6. Any contract for work to be performed under the pro-
visions of this section which does not comply with the provisions
thereof shall be null and void, and any officer who shall sign the
same shall be deemed guilty of misfeasance and upon proof of such
misfeasance shall be removed from office.
Section 7. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or
paragraph of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitu-
tional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portions of this ordinance. The Board of Supervisors hereby declares
that it would have passed this ordinance and each part thereof irre-
spective of the fact that any one or more portions thereof may be de-
clared unconstitutional.
Section 8. In addition to all other penalties herein provided, a vio-
lation of any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be
a misdemeanor and shall be punished accordingly.
Section 9. This ordinance shall take effect immediately, but shall
not affect any contract then existing or any contract that may here-
after be entered into pursuant to invitations for bids that are out-
standing at the time of the passage of this ordinance.

In Memoriam, David Belasco.
Supervisor Roncovieri presented:
Resolution No. 34447 (New Series), as follows:
Whereas, the final curtain has been rung down by the Supreme
Creator on the last scene of all for David Belasco, playwright, actor,
producer, critic and artist extraordinary of things histrionic, and
Whereas, the master realist of the American stage was literally the
cynosure of all eyes, for more than a half century, of those who have
followed the most ancient art of Thespis, and
Whereas, David Belasco's work for the American stage was charac-
terized with a keen and sympathetic knowledge of human kind, a virile
and true interpretation of human psychology, a faithful adherence to
the artistic principle of verisimilitude demanded for the correct por-
trayal of passions and situations, and a sentient grasp of the realistic
presentation of American life and manners, in words and deeds, so as
to maintain the best traditions of the stage, detailed in Hamlet's speech
to the players, and
Whereas, David Belasco devoted his talent and ability to the
healthier, broader, and more natural human studies, rather than to
the so-called mystic innerself problems, and thus developed a school of
acting, racy, energetic, prolific, and of a most healthy simplicity after
the style of the Bard of Avon, and
Whereas, the thousands of players who have had the good fortune
to train under David Belasco have, through such training reached the
very highest plane of their profession, and have built up a stage tra-
dition which undoubtedly will last for many years; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of
San Francisco, the city in which David Belasco first realized his talent,
does hereby publicly deplore the death of such an able artist, and
regrets the loss to the profession to which he had devoted his life;
and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread on the minutes
of this Board and another copy be sent to his relatives; and be it
further
Resolved, That the Board adjourns today, when it does adjourn, out
of respect to the memory of that incomparable follower of the actors'
profession, David Belasco.

Death of David Belasco.
The following was presented and read by the Clerk:
San Francisco, Cal., May 15, 1931.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors, City Hall, San Francisco.
Gentlemen: In the death of David Belasco, San Francisco, and in
fact the whole nation, has suffered an irreparable loss.
Born in the most humble surroundings, handicapped in his early
youth by every conceivable hardship and obstacle, he rose to the
highest pinnacle of success in his chosen art — the drama.
David Belasco was a genius. His art has furnished to millions of
Americans the highest inspirations and the best the stage affords.
Belasco's ideals reflected the glories of our City at one of the most
picturesque periods of its history. He spread the fame of his native
San Francisco in every village, every hamlet and in every great
metropolis of the nation.
It is fitting, therefore, that solemn memorial services be held in
this, the City of his birth, to commemorate the life and achievements
of one of San Francisco's greatest sons.
I therefore respectfully request that your Honorable Board grant to
the Mayor authority to appoint a committee of citizens, who will ar-
range for an appropriate and adequate memorial service in honor of
the late David Belasco.
Sincerely,
ANGELO J. ROSSI, Mayor.

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT.
San Francisco, California, May 18, 1931.
To the Honorable The Board of Supervisors.
Gentlemen: The Finance Committee presents herewith budget esti-
mates for the fiscal year 1931-32, total of which is $26,376,130. The
budget for 1931 total was $26,858,329. This total does not include the
School Department.
The Finance Committee was confronted with extraordinary and
difficult economic conditions, because of unemployment relief and the
large increase in bond interest and redemption charges. Obviously,
the committee and the Board of Supervisors cannot be held responsible
for any part of these two circumstances. The people voted the bonds,
and the first obligation of the community is to pay interest and
redemption on these expenditures.
There has been no reduction in the wage rates of any municipal
employees, and no additional positions estimated for. There have
been no increase in salaries other than several minor positions which
were authorized by the Board of Supervisors subsequent to the adop-
tion of the 1931 budget.
The problem of the five-day week employment for per diem men
was one of the adjustments which caused considerable delay in the
preparation, of the budget. Every effort has been made to make the
adjustment equitable as far as is humanly possible at this time. The
Committee recommends that per diem men be employed at the present
rates five days a week, and the balance of the money which would
have been in the items for the sixth day is concentrated in an item
under the control of the Board of Supervisors; this money to be
appropriated by the Board of Supervisors on recommendation of the
departments as the men are employed. The purpose of this set-up
is to provide the same amount of money for these employments for
1931-32 as in 1930-31, and to distribute the money, under the control
of the Supervisors, in such manner as will provide wages for addi-
tional men to do necessary work. In other words, the same amount
of money is recommended, to be spread as far as possible in creating
employment for more men during this economic depression.
Bond Interest and Redemption.
The gross requirements for bond interest and redemption is $11,-
1038 MONDAY, MAY 18, 1931.
548,264. To meet this charge, the Committee has taken into consider-
ation as a credit the following revenues:
San Francisco Water Department $2,755,000.00
Pipeline Rentals 250,000.00
Premium on Bonds 700,000.00
Hetch Hetchy Depreciation 100,000.00
Hetch Hetchy Power Operative Revenue 1,500,000.00
County Road Fund (for 1927 boulevard bonds interest) 243,264.00
$5,548,264.00
By using the foregoing balances for bond interest and redemption,
it requires the levying of a tax to raise $6,000,000 as against $5,525,000
in 1931.
The obligation to the federal government to build roads and trails
in Hetch Hetchy terrain we recommend be met out of Hetch Hetchy
Bond Fund. It is apparent that completion of the Hetch Hetchy
project will require an additional bond issue within the next two or
three years.
The Committee believes, and recommends, that every effort should
be made to provide for the installation and operation of the new
charter on January 8, 1932. So far as is possible, we estimate the
moneys required have been provided in the sums appropriated. In
addition, there is a sum of $25,000 (a sort of contingent fund), for
the use of the 1932 officials when they take office and set up their
official functions. The Committee on Accounting, working on this
problem, has suggested, and the City Attorney has concurred therein,
that the Board of Supervisors make up a budget for the fiscal year
in the regular form. January 8th, when the new officials take office,
these various accounts can be transferred to the new bookkeeping
set-up, and there need be no interruption in the functioning of the
city government.
Accompanying this report and budget estimate is an ordinance
appropriating from the County Roads Fund moneys for street main-
tenance and repairs. Therefore, these two bureaus of the Board of
Public Works are omitted from the budget ordinance.
The Charter procedure after January 8th takes the preparation of
the budget from the Board of Supervisors. The estimate to be com-
piled by the Administrative Department and the Mayor, and in due
lime presented to the Board of Supervisors, which still retains the
authority and the power to enact the budget.
The condition of the assessment roll cannot be estimated at this
time. The Asseesor estimates a very marked decrease in revenues,
which necessarily must be reflected in the tax rate which is to be
fixed in September. After the assessment is prepared by the Assessor
and revised by the Board of Equalization, it will be then possible to
adjust the tax rate to meet conditions and provide for the necessary
money to carry on the city government.
The Committee calls to the attention of the Board the earnest and
sincere recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Unemploy-
ment to include in this year's budget $350,000 for relief of unemployed
men and women and the care of families during the coming winter.
This situation is the most acute in the history of the United States;
and, in fact, of all the world. The Committee has sympathetic concern
for this recommendation, but feels that it is a matter which should
be determined by the Board when the facts are presented to it.
Your committee, in conformity with the Budget data required by
the Freeholders' charter, to be in effect January 8, 1932, will, prior
to the fixing of the tax rates, submit to your Board an all-inclusive
Budget.
This report will contain not only estimated expenditures, but the
MONDAY, MAY 18, 1931. 1039
estimated revenues and receipts from all and for all purposes, and
will be inclusive of the
General Fund,
Hetch Hetchy Water,
San Francisco Water Department,
Municipal Railways,
County Road Fund,
School Department,
Parks,
Playgrounds.
When the same shall have been presented, it will formally establish
a procedure necessary for more easily establishing the system effective
January 8, 1932.
Respectfully submitted,
J. EMMET HAYDEN, Chairman.

PUBLIC HEARING.
Selah Chamberlain, chairman of the Citizens' Committee for the
Stimulation of Employment and director of the Community Chest,
appeared in behalf of the request of the Associated Charities for an
item in the budget of $350,000 to take care of anticipated needs for
affording relief of the unemployed during the coming winter. He filed
a statement of the operations of liis committee, showing payments made
from Bond Issue Fund for relief of unemployment up to May 21, 1931.
John O'Connell, secretary of tlie San Francisco Labor Council, was
heard on the same subject, declaring that the necessity for affording
relief was increasing and tliat $350,000 set aside for that purpose
would be at least needed during the coming winter when the unemploy-
ment condition would be at its crisis.
Mr. E. B. De Golia, representing the Citizens' Budget Committee com-
prising thirty organizations banded together to effect economies in the
budget, was also heard to the effect that his organization had given
consideration to the urgency of this appropriation of $350,000 for un-
employment relief during the ensuing fiscal year, and recommended
that that amount be made available.
Rev. Father Moriarty, representing the Catholic Welfare Council,
also urged the necessity of this appropriation with particular stress
upon the necessity of providing for approximately 400 women a week
at a cost of $20,000 per month. He urged that this question of unem-
ployed women be given particular consideration inasmuch as it had
been overlooked more or less in the past.
Rev. Dr. Deems, representing the Church Federation, read a letter
from Bishop Parsons, who could not be present, also urging the
necessity for this appropriation for relief of unemployment.
Mrs. Paul Spring, representing Parents and Teachers Association,

tions above mentioned in providing for relief of unemployment.
Palmer Puller, representing the Community Chest, also urged the
relief for unemployment appropriation.

be made up by reducing salaries in municipal employment.
Joseph P. Osterloh, representing the East and West of Castro Improve- i
ment Club and Noe Valley Improvement Club, urged that there be no >
cutting down of the Playground Commission's budget and declaring
that great need for the extension of playground facilities in Eureka j
and Noe Valley existed and should not be let down at this time. j
Mr. Houston, representing Ingleside, Balboa, Mt. Davidson and Ocean ;
View District, protested contemplated cut in playground commission i
appropriation from 7 cents to 5 cents on the hundred, declaring that •
same has been maintained at the 7 cent rate for the past three years
and there was still much work to be done and kept up, besides the :
larger rate would make for additional employment for the people of '
San Francisco. ]
Edward Kenny, representing the Geary Street Merchants' Associa- ■
tion, favored the Playground Commission for an adequate appropria-
tion to take care of its program for the ensuing fiscal year. ;
George Gerhardt, representing Civic League of Improvement Clubs •
and Associations, declared that his organization was backing up the ;
Finance Committee 100 per cent in its report. He commended the ;
committee for its proposed economies and urged that funds be con- i
served wherever possible without hardship to any of our citizens. 1
J. Ford, representing Visitacion Valley Organization, spoke in favor j
of the appropriation for the Playground Commission, and urged that ;
some attention be given to the needs of the people living in Visitacion \
Valley, where playgrounds are a growing necessity. j

an appropriation of $100,000 out of the County Road Fund, to start j
the proposed widening of Army street from San Bruno avenue to

sociation; Thomas Doyle, secretary, Building Trades Council, and

the Blacksmiths' Union, John J. O'Conner, representing the Asphalt
, Pavers, and J. J. Kelly, representing the Central Federation of Im-

■ Mrs. Edna Calhan, representing members of the San Francisco Fire
'Department, urged an appropriation of $2,700 to provide for the pro-
motion of ten hosemen to the position of lieutenants in the Fire De-
partment, these men having passed the necessary Civil Service ex-
amination and qualified for the position.
! Chief Charles J. Brennan, San Francisco Fire Department, declared
I that they now had 131 lieutenants and that number was all that was
necessary for the operation of the Fire Department. He believed that
the Fire Commission were best qualified to know the number of lieu-
tenants necessary for its proper maintenance and operation.
Frank Kennedy, secretary of the Fire Commission, was also heard
to the same effect.
I E. B. De Golia, representing the Citizens' Budget Committee, de
' Glared that his organization sustained the contention of the Fire De-
partment as to the number of lieutenants necessary.
Mrs. J. Friedman, representing the Visitacion Valley Improvement
Club, favored the utmost appropriation for the Playground Commis-
. sion in order that playground facilities might be afforded children in

appropriation of $200,000 for the proposed Divisadero-Castro boulevard
, extension through the Wiestern Addition.
A. Becker, representing Eureka Valley-Divisadero-Castro Highway
; Association, consisting of eight improvement clubs, urged the securing
of state aid which, together with an adequate appropriation by the

i velopment.
j . T. Mahoney also urged that steps be taken to bring about a realiza-
' tion of the projected Divisadero-Castro boulevard.
Harry Hook, representing the Machinists' Union, urged a monthly
salary for machinists now working for the City on a per diem basis
and the doing away with overtime as a result of such a change. He
says there are 56 men in all working as machinists for the City, 49
of which are per diem men.
John Cuddy, representing Californians Incorporated, thanked the
Finance Committee for the continued support it was giving its or-
ganization in advertising northern California.
Adolph Uhl, representing the Taxpayers' Association, made numerous
suggestions for the reduction of the budget. He recommended the
giving up of the Mills Field Airport, and saving the appropriation of
$105,000 for land purchase this year. The closing temporarily of the
California Palace of the Legion of Honor, saving thereby $85,000 to
$90,000. In this connection he took exception to the employment in
that institution of a typist brought from the East, declaring that there
is sufficient talent in San Francisco available for such employment.
He recommended certain economies in the operation of the Auditorium
and declared that there was a deficit there now of $185,000. Referring
to the highway bonds, he declared that Milton Marks, chairman of the
Citizens' Committee, had promised that there would be no bond in-
terest and redemption to be taken care of in the tax rate when the
people were asked to vote these bonds, but that the same would be
taken care of out of the County Road Fund. "These items should not be
in the budget," he said. He also spoke of the losses suffered by
operation of the Municipal Railway and indicated steps that might
1076 FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1931.
1
be taken to correct this condition. With reference to maintenance o'
streets and sewers, he declared he had made certain checks on mei
working in the Sewer Department which indicated to him that then
was a good deal of wasted time on numerous street repairing an(
sewer repairing jobs in the city, two of which he mentioned specifi
cally.
William E. E'dminster, employee of the Sewer Department, replie<
in detail to the statements of Mr. Uhl with respect to operation of thf
Sewer Department and the methods employed by men engaged in sewe:;
work in order to prevent accident and danger to those employed ii
such precarious employment. He explained necessity of some of tht'
crew to remain above in apparent idleness in order to be ready t(i
afford relief to the men below in case any are overcome by noxious
gases and other dangers incident to the work. He also explained th^l
necessity of one crew relieving the other each hour, as that is as lonj'
as men can effectively work in sewers without endangering theii
health or life.
M. Sovig. representing the Park-Presidio Improvement Club, urgec
the widening of Fulton street on the park side. He complained of th(
so-called bottleneck at Geary street and Presidio avenue and the neces
sity for correcting it.
Captain Lamb, Secretary of the Park Commission, declared that thf;
Commission will try to cooperate and economize to the best of iti-,
ability. He urged that the parks be allowed 10 cents in the tax ratei
William N. Naury, representing the San Francisco Municipal Re-i
search Bureau, was also granted the privilege of the floor and was;
heard at length on the proposed Budget. • i
W. M. Strother, secretary of the California Palace of the Legion ol|
Honor and the DeYoung Museum, was heard in reply to the criticism^
of Adolph Uhl as to the temporary closing of the museums and the
employment of Eastern help in preference to local labor.

into the hands of the Board, and on motion of Supervisor Peyser, sec-
onded by Supervisor Canepa, the Board took a recess until 10 a. in.

Opinion of the City Attorney as to Result of Failure of Board to
Appropriate $105,000 for Additional Land For Airport.
The follo^ving was presented, read and ordered spread In the
Journal :
May 22, 1931.
Hon. J. Emmet Hayden, Chairman Finance Committee, Board of Su-
pervisors, City.
Dear Sir: I have your letter under date of May 21st wherein you
ask that I advise the Board of Supervisors as to the result which
would follow should the Board fail to appropriate the sum of $105,000
for the purchase of additional land for Mills Airport.
The rights of the City to acquire this property are fixed by agree-
ment, under date of August 16, 1930, between Mills Estate, Inc., and
the City and County. Under the terms of this agreement the City
was obligated to purchase a portion of the land prior to the first day
of September, 1930, at a cost of $105,000, and was granted the option
of acquiring a like portion of the property each year upon the pay-
ment of a like sum of money.
Under further provisions of the agreement the City did not bind
1078 FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1931.
I
itself to purchase anything with the exception of the land which wi
to be acquired prior to September 1, 1930.
However, the right of the City to continue to occupy the entlij
tract is dependent upon the purchase of at least one parcel of land i
a cost of $105,000 each year, and should the City not avail itself (
this privilege, it must vacate all of the property with the exceptio
of that which it has already purchased. '
Upon the property being vacated, it will be incumbent upon th
City to remove, at its own expense, all improvements which it ha'
made upon any part of the property which may not have been aii
quired by the City. j
The lease which the City formerly held upon the property actual!
occupied at the present time for aviation purposes was merged in th
agreement above mentioned, and the failure of the City to purchase i
parcel of the property described in the agreement prior to Septembe'
30th would mean that the right of the City to acquire any furthe
property from the Mills estate would cease, and the City would b;
obliged to remove all the improvements which it heretofore coil
structed upon the property, for the reason that none of these improv<'
ments are situated upon the property acquired by the City last yeai|
Sincerely yours, i
JOHN J. O'TOOLE, City Attorney.

Message of His Honor Mayor Rossi on Importance of Averting
Water Shortage in San Francisco.
The following was read by the Clerk and copies ordered sent to
members:
San Francisco, Cal., May 25, 1931.
The Honorable Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San
Francisco.
Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors: In conformity with the
duties imposed upon me under the provisions of Section 2 of Chapter
I, Article IV, of the Charter, I address you upon a matter which I
believe to be of the utmost importance to the people of San Francisco,
to-wit: the present and future water supply available for the needs
of our City. I am glad to be able to state that the recent action of
your Board in obtaining an auxiliary supply of water from the Bast
Bay Municipal Utility District has averted a water shortage for the
<
MONDAY, MAY 25, 1931. 2053
present year, but I cannot report as favorable a condition for the com-
ing calendar year.
I am advised by Chief Engineer O'Shaughnessy and Mr. Nelson A.
Eckart, manager of the San Francisco Water Department, through
the Board of Public Works, that on January 1, 1931, we had in storage
in the various reservoirs approximately 6,455,000,000 gallons of water.
On May 16th of this year, notwithstanding the runoff for the year and
the receipt of approximately the 20,000,000 gallons per day from the
East Bay Municipal Utility District, the stored supply was reduced to
approximately 5,368,000,000 gallons. At the present time, owing to
the series of unprecedented dry years, the Spring Valley properties
are producing about 22,000,000 gallons per day. We are obtaining
5,500,000 gallons from the Sunset wells and 20,000,000 gallons from
the East Bay Municipal Utility District, which later amount will be
increased to 35,000,000 prior to July 1st of this year. Mr. O'Shaugh-
nessy and Mr. Eckart estimate that with the present ratio of the in-
come and outgo of water being maintained, we will have a storage
January 1, 1932, of approximately 3,800,000,000 gallons of water, which
would be augmented by some 2,000,000,000 gallons if we continue to
receive the 35,000,000 per day from the East Bay instead of the 20,-
000,000 now being received. Mr. O'Shaughnessy and Mr. Eckart re-
port that this amount does not include any runoff prior to January
1st. Our storage water is the lowest that we have had on a corre-
sponding date within the past 25 years. Should the coming year be
as deficient in rainfall as the present one, it will be necessary, even
with our supply from the East Bay, to augment our incoming water
iHOt later than August 1st and preferably by July 1, 1932.
! It would be most regrettable and one of the severest blows that
' could fall on our City if we should suffer from a shortage of water,
and I believe that the remedy for so serious a situation should not be
permitted to depend upon the uncertainty of climatic conditions, espe-
cially when we have an ample supply of water in our mountain di-
vision.
I therefore recommend to your honorable Board that steps be taken
at once to construct over the Coast Range, along the most suitable
and economic route, a pipe line of sufficient capacity to supply the
present needs of the City and to connect with the westerly terminus
of the San Joaquin Valley pipe line, the contract for which has re-
cently been let by the Board of Public Works, and to terminate at
.some point in our present water system in Alameda County.
1 For the purpose of carrying out this recommendation, I suggest that
your Board enact necessary legislation directing the Board of Public
Works, through the City Engineer, to prepare and furnish forthwith
jto your Board the necessary plans and estimates of cost of such a
pipe line, together with the requisite rights of way for the same and
ithe pumping equipment necessary to force the water over the ridge.
That as soon as these plans and estimates are received, your Board
appropriate from the Hetch Hetchy Bond Fund an amount sufficient to
construct the pipe line and pumping equipment and acquire the rights
of way, and that thereupon a contract be entered into for the con-
struction of the pipe line and pumping equipment, with a time for
completion identical with the completion of the San Joaquin pipe line.
In making this recommendation, I wish it definitely understood that
I am not criticizing our City Engineer or any one connected with the
City administration, past or present.
If we had not been confronted by the unprecedented cycle of dry
years, the plans outlined by our City Engineer for the Hetch Hetchy
project would have undoubtedly brought that project to completion in
ample time to fill all the needs of the City for water. These dry years
could not have been foreseen, and if they were, plans would have un-
doubtedly been made to meet the existing emergency. Neither must
2054 MONDAY, MAY 25, 1931.
my recommendation be taken as any indications that the presenf
plans for the completion of the aqueduct timnel should be abandoned
I have but one thought in mind on this subject, and that is to give t(
San Francisco a water supply to meet the threatened shortage and no'
leave this relief to the vagaries of the weather.
I earnestly hope that my suggestions will receive your prompt anc;
serious consideration.
Respectfully, '
ANGELO J. ROSSI, Mayor.

Letter of Thanks From Mrs. Marsden Manson.
The following was read and ordered spread in the Journal:
San Francisco, May 22, 1931.
Mr. John S. Dunnigan, Secretary, Board of Supervisors, City Hall,
San Francisco.
Dear Mr. Dunnigan: The Mayor directs me to pass to you the en-
closed letter of thanks from Mrs. Marsden Manson.
Yours very truly,
, Secretary.
2058 MONDAY, MAY 25, 1931.
2905 Regent Street, Berkeley, Cal. |
To the Mayor and Board of Supervisors, City and County of Sail
Francisco.
Gentlemen: My two children join with nie in acknowledging the!
most beautifully engrossed tribute and expression of appreciation ofj
your honorable Board towards my beloved husband, the late Marsden
Manson. I know that the interests of San Francisco and the State
were ever in his thoughts.
Cordially,
JULIA D. E. MANSON.
(Mrs. Marsden Manson.)
Opinion of the City Attorney as to Result of Failure of Board to
Appropriate $105,000 for Additional Land For Airport.
The following was presented, read and ordered spread In the
Journal:
May 22. 1931.
Hon. J. Emmet Hayden, Chairman Finance Committee, Board of Su*
pervisors. City.
Dear Sir: I have your letter under date of May 21st wherein you
ask that I advise the Board of Supervisors as to the result which
would follow should the Board fail to appropriate the sum of $105,000'
for the purchase of additional land for Mills Airport.
The rights of the City to acquire this property are fixed by agree-
ment, under date of August 16, 1930, between Mills Estate, Inc., and'
the City and County. Under the terms of this agreement the City,
was obligated to purchase a portion of the land prior to the first day ]
of September, 1930, at a cost of $105,000, and was granted the option
of acquiring a like portion of the property each year upon the pay-
ment of a like sum of money.
Under further provisions of the agreement the City did not bind
itself to purchase anything with the exception of the land which was
to be acquired prior to September 1, 1930.
However, the right of the City to continue to occupy the entire
tract is dependent upon the purchase of at least one parcel of land at :
a cost of $105,000 each year, and should the City not avail itself of
this privilege, it must vacate all of the property with the exception
of that which it has already purchased.
Upon the property being vacated, it will be incumbent upon the
City to remove, at its own expense, all improvements which it has
made upon any part of the property which may not have been ac-
quired by the City.
The lease which the City formerly held upon the property actually
occupied at the present time for aviation purposes was merged in the
agreement above mentioned, and the failure of the City to purchase a j
parcel of the property described in the agreement prior to September
30th would mean that the right of the City to acquire any further '•
property from the Mills estate would cease, and the City would be
obliged to remove all the improvements which it heretofore con-
structed upon the property, for the reason that none of these improve-
ments are situated upon the property acquired by the City last year.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN J. O'TOOLE, City Attorney.

An ordinance fixing and establishing a five-day working week and a
monthly basis for computing the compensation of certain classes of
employees of the City and County of San Francisco heretofore paid
on a per diem basis, and regulating compensation for emergency over-

Be it ordained by the People of the City and County of San Fran-
cisco as follows:

year 1931-32, and in Ordinance No. 9002, making appropriation from
the County Road Fund for street repair and maintenance during the
fiscal year 1931-32, whose rates of compensation are therein provided
for on a per diem basis, is hereby fixed and established on a monthly
basis of 1/12 of the annual appropriation made in said budget ordi-
nance and in said Ordinance No. 9002 for each of said employees.
Where the annual appropriation made in said budget ordinance un-
der any specific item number, and the annual appropriation made in
said Ordinance No. 9002 constitutes a total annual wage for more
than one employee, the amount so appropriated for each employee of
the class so listed shall be determined by dividing the total appropria-
tion by the number of employees so listed.
Section 2. That a five-day working week, comprising Monday, Tues-
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each week, is hereby estab-
lished for the classes of employees referred to in Section 1 of this

proportion of the full monthly compensation that the time actually
worked bears to the total actual working days of the current month.
Provided further, that no deduction shall be made for time allowed
such employees for annual vacations.
Section 3. Eight hours shall constitute the maximum number of
hours of labor for any one working day. Where, by reason of some
particular emergency, employees of the classes referred to in this
