San Francisco, California, April 30. 1909.
To the Honorable. The Board of Supervisors. City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: Tn complianT-e with Article III, Chapter I. Section 2 of the
Charter of the City and County of San Francisco, I have the honor to transmit
herewith an estimate of the probable expenditures of the City and County
government for the next ensuing fiscal year, the amount required to meet the
interest and sinking funds of all outstanding debts, the amount necessary to be
apportioned to each fund in the City Treasury, and also an estimate of the
amount of revenue to be derived from sources other than taxes.
After a careful personal inspection of the needs of the Fire Department,
I have recommended substantial increases in new locations, as I find the hilly
sections to be without adequate protection and also the desire of the Fire Chief
to place his fighting force at strategic points.
I have recommended a substantial increase in the Police Department, as
I find the City is not sufficiently protected, nor can it be with our present force.
Some of the stations are entirely inadequate and should be rebuilt.
The passage of a general law affecting a large increase ia the maintenance
of our Juvenile Court has been provided, also the salary of the Secretary of
the Superior Judges has geen raised by a general law.
Where departments have been granted increase from urgent necessity
during past year, I have met this increase in the general estimate, which leaves
urgent necessity for other demands.
I also find that property purchased with Bond Money, and of which the
Play Ground Commission has undertaken the management, must either remain
unused, or be properly equipped. I therefore recommend an appropriation of
sufficient funds for the proper equipment thereof.
In ''revenue from other sources," I invite your attention to the loss of
licenses on nickel-in-slot machines.
This estimate is based on a very conservative estimated assessed valuation
of $500,000,000, which I believe to be reasonable and just.
Your attention is again directed to the necessity of fire escapes for our
public school buildings that proper protection may be given our school children
before it is too late. Respectfully,
JNO. A. KOSTER.
Auditor.

Assessor's Report
San Francisco, July 19, 1909.
To "His Honor, Edward R. Taylor,
Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco.
Dear Sir: — T submit herewith my annual report for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1909:
The total assessment roll, as finally completed, is $492,329,000, a gain of
$38,000,000 over that of last year. This roll is sufficiently large to give a safe
margin, namely, about 2 % per cent, above the amount on which revenues were
estimated, to provide for all possible delinquencies. Of this gain, approximately
$24,000,000 is due to the erection of new buildings. A striking fact is noted
that the assessment of buildings is now greater than at any time in our City's
history. These are now assessed at $114,000,000, whereas the greatest previous
assessment was that of the year prior to the fire, which was $97,800,000. This
increase is due to the fact that a great number of modern and costly buildings
have been erected on sites which were formerly occupied by old and obsolete
business structures.
The tax collections made by this office during the past sixty days on un-
secured personal property are the largest in our City's history, amounting to
$761,380. This is an increase over the collections on personal property taxes
made by this office last year of $118,622.
The collections of the State Poll Tax also show a material increase. The
amount collected to date is $96,000, as against collections of $76,000 at this
date in 1908. This increase in collections represents a gain to the credit of
our City's School Funds and to the City of $8,000.
The present condition of our office records is most satisfactory, the loss
due to the fire having been now entirely made good in the way of new records
and maps. We have compiled and are keeping up to date a complete record,
of all decrees of title established under the McEnerney Act.
Respectfully submitted,
WASHINGTON DODGE, Assessor.
Treasurer's Report
San Francisco, Cal., July 31, 1909.

Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco.

Tax Collector's Report
San Francisco, Cal., July 27, 1909.
To the Honorable Edward R. Taylor,
Mayor, City and County of San Francisco.
Dear Sir: I beg to hand you herewith reports in detail of the business
handled by the Tax Collector's office in the matters of Property Tax Collec-
tions and License Collections for the fiscal year 1908-1909.
The Total Collection of Taxes against Real and Personal Property and
Unsecured Personal Property, fiscal year 1908-1909, as compared with the Total
Collection for fiscal year 1907-1908 in the following statement:
TAX DEPARTMENT
Amount of
Charge of Amount of
Auditor. Delinquency.
Fiscal year 1908-1909 $7,990,059.89 $50,198.71
Fiscal year 1907-1908 7,574,749.80 49,717.71
Excess 1908-1909 over 1907-1908 415,310.09 481.00
I beg to call your attention to the small increase in amount of delinquency,
$481.00, for 1908-1909 over 1907-1908, compared with the large increase of
$415,310.09 in amount collectible for same period.
Following is a comparative statement of Total Collection of Licenses as
made for fiscal year 1908-1909 with that of the fiscal year 1907-1908.
LICENSE DEPARTMENT
Total collections, fiscal year 1908-1909 $1,522,986.20
Total collections, fiscal year 1907-1908 1 1,497,822.20
Excess collection, 1908-1909 over 1907-1908 $25,164.00
Loss by diminished number of liquor dealers' licenses, 368 at $500
per annum 46,000.00
$71,164.00
Subtract gain on slot-machine licenses due to increase of rate, two
quarters, January 1 to June 30, 6,087 machines at $5 each 30,435.00
Indicated increased efficiency in collecting $40,729.00
The closing of 368 retail liquor dealers and the increase in the rate
charged for slot machines being due to causes not under control of the Tax
Collector, these factors are shown and the final figures given, $40,729, indicate
the net increased efficiency of this office for this fiscal year over that of last
fiscal year.
In addition there should be taken into consideration the following state-
ment of estimated collections depending upon suits now pending:
Bankers' licenses, about $5,400.00
Dance hall proprietors, about 10,000.00
Insurance brokers, about 1,500.00
Dump car and boat licenses, about 750.00
Total estimated at about $17,650.00
which sum, but for the delay caused by court proceedings, might have been
collected during fiscal year 1908-1909.
Respectfully submitted,
DAVID BUSH,
Tax Collector, City and County of San Francisco.

FIEE COMMISSIONERS
RECOMMENDATIONS
I would respectfully recommend that during the present fiscal year houses
be erected for the following new companies on lots already in the possession
of this department:
Engine Co. No. 41, on Leavenworth Street, between Clay and Washington.
Truck Co. No. 11, on Duncan Street, adjoining Engine Co. No. 18.
Chemical Co. 12, on Forty-fifth avenue, between I and J Streets.
I would also recommend the purchase of lots and the erection of houses
in the following locations:
Union and Kearny Streets, for Chemical Co. 13.
San Bruno Avenue, near Silliman Street, for Chemical Co. 14.
Harrison Street, near Seventh, for Engine Co. 6, now temporary quartered
in a one-story barn at South and Seventh Streets, and for a new Truck company.
Post and Larkin Streets for Engine Co. 3, now quartered in a temporary
frame building on a school department lot at Pine and Larkin Streets.
Mint Avenue, adjoining Engine Co. 17, which is now quartered in a
temporary frame building, in order to permit the erection of a double house for
the accommodation of a high pressure system hose wagon in addition to the
present company and the First Assistant Chief Engineer, which are now very
much crowded.
Commercial Street, adjoining Engine Co. 12, which' is also quartered in a
temporary frame building, in order that a double house may be erected facing
on Drumm Street, to permit the installation of an aerial truck company, as
well as a high pressure system hose wagon, in addition to the present company.
I would also recommend that Engine house No. 19 on Market Street, between
Tenth and Eleventh, be rebuilt, in order that this company may be returned
to its former location, the present quarters on Waller Street being too far from
the center of the district.
I would also recommend that a one-story building be erected adjoining
Truck Co. 7, on Seventeenth Street, between Folsom and Harrison, in order
that a monitor battery may be established there for service in the Mission
district, the other batteries being too far away to render efficient service.
Also that a combination chemical and hose company to be known as
Chemical Co. 10, be organized; the same to be located in the quarters of Truck
Co. 10 on Sacramento Street, near Maple, for the better protection of the
eastern end of the Richmond district.
I would also recommend, "as soon as the streets in the Excelsior Homestead
have been improved so as to be passable, for fire apparatus, that a house be
erected for a combination chemical company at Brazil Avenue and Athens
Street, where a lot has recently been purchased by the city. I desire to call
particular attention to the fact that this city is very defective in truck com-
panies, there being at present only ten truck companies in service against thirty-
nine engine companies, whereas in other large cities the relative number of
truck companies is much greater. I would accordingly recommend the erection
of a house and the installation of a light truck company for hill work on the
fire department lot on Pacific Street, near Jones. This would cover into the
districts of Truck Companies 2 and 4, which are now almost unprotected when
either of these trucks is out of service, as the hill between them makes their
movements from one district to the other very slow.
I would also recommend the purchase of a lot in the neighborhood of Fred-
erick and Stanyan Streets and the erection of a truck house thereon, since
Truck Co. 6, at Oak and Devisadero Streets, is too far away in view of the
rapid growth of the Sunset, Parkside and Oceanside districts, as well as Ashbury
Heights.
I would further recommend the complete reconstruction or the fire alarm
system with underground construction in all parts of the city covered by the
FIRE COMMISSIONERS 301
conduits of the telephone companies, which the municipality has the right to
us^: also the establishment of a new fire alarm office in a locality where it
will be absolutely free from danger caused by close proximity to other buildings,
preferably in some public square, and the installation of an entirely new and
modern equipment therein, as well as in the various engine houses; also the
substitution of keyless door fire alarm boxes for all key boxes now in service,
and the addition of two hundred boxes, in order to complete the restoration of
boxes in the burned district, as well as to cover new districts which have
become populated since the earthquake. I would also recommend the immediate
establishment of the "joker1' system of signalling between the fire alarm office
and the department houses, by means of which every engine house would be in
constant touch with the central office and the movements of every company
would be directed and controlled from that office.
I am pleased to see that the first result of the $5,200,000 bond issue for
firs protection will soon be realized in the completion of the two fireboats,
''David Scannell" and "Dennis T. Sullivan.'1 In spite of vexatious delays
many street fire cisterns also are approaching completion. As the first ship-
ment of pipe has arrived, the real work of establishing the high pressure water
system will soon be under way, and will, I trust, be hastened to completion
at the earliest possible moment.
I would further recommend the purchase of two third size steam fire
engines, one hook-aml-ladder truck, one automobile, three chemical engines, four
hose wagons and 10,000 feet of fire hose during the present fiscal year.
In conclusion I desire to extend my sincere thanks to your Honorable
Board for the active and untiring interest manifested by you in all matters per-
taining to the efficiency and advancement of the department. I also desire
to express my thanks to the officers and members of the department for the
commendable manner in which they have performed their required duties
therein during the fiscal year just ended.
To the Chief of Police and members of the force, to Fire Marshal Towe and
Captain Comstock of the Underwriters Fire Patrol, to Chief Nixon of the
Department of Electricity, to City Engineer Manson and his assistants, Connick
and Ransom, and City Architect Rixford, I also desire to extend my thanks in
appreciation of the valuable assistance they have given the department whenever
required.

City Attorney's Report
San Francisco, July 1, 1909.
Hon. Edward R. Taylor,
Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco,
Sir: By the way of introduction to my annual report of the work of
this office for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1908, and ending June 30,
1909, I desire to outline in brief some of the most important matters dealt
with during that period.
Since the rendition of my last report, Hon. E. S. Farrington, sitting in
the United States Circuit Court on the 7th day of October, 1908, passed upon
the application of the Spring Valley Water Company for a temporary injunction
in the case of the Spring Valley Water Company vs. the City and County of
San Francisco, and in his decision sustained many of the points contended for
by the City and paved the way for a substantial victory upon final hearing.
Upon the motion of this office, Judge Farrington ordered impounded all
moneys collected by the Spring Valley Water Company for rates in excess of
those fixed by the ordinance of the Board of Supervisors and ordered that
such moneys be deposited in bank subject to the order of court. At this time
the amount so deposited in the Mercantile Trust Company of the City and
County of San Francisco for repayment to rate payers in the event the water
company loses upon final hearing totals the sum of $150,580.53.
On the 8th day of May, 1909, this office filed, on behalf of the City, its
final brief in the consolidated cases of the Spring Valley Water Company vs.
the City and County of San Francisco, which brief represents the labor of
this office for a period of over a year. The brief numbers 791 pages and is
accompanied by 107 exhibits. It represents the condensation of over seven
thousand pages of testimony and an exhaustive review of all the law bearing
upon the subject of rate regulation.
I believe that before the time set for the fixing of new water rates the
Court will have rendered judgment upon final hearing, and the uncertainty that
now exists as to the proper basis for water rates will be at an end.
There is now pending an action by the San Francisco Gas & Electric Com-
pany vs. City and County of San Francisco to restrain the enforcement of gas
rate ordinance adopted in June, 1908, and some progress has been made in the
matter of taking testimony. Upon the motion of this office, the United States
Circuit Court made an order requiring the impounding by the Clerk of the
Court and depositing in the Bank of California, of all the moneys collected in
excess of that fixed by the ordinance of the Board of Supervisors, and the
amount so deposited is $243,057,59.
During the past year this office has advised the Board of Supervisors in
the matter of proceedings relating to the holding of a bond election and the
issuance of bonds for the acquisition of lands and the construction of water
works in the Hetch Hetchy Valley.
Acting under the instructions of the Board of Supervisors I have asso-
ciated with me the firm of Dillon & Hubbard of New York, who have passed
upon and declared valid all proceedings in the connection with the issuance
of such bonds. An attempt was made by a tax payer -to restrain the sale of
such bonds, but upon the hearing to show cause the temporary restraining
order was discharged and the proceedings declared legal, in this matter as well
as all other questions regarding Hetch Hetchy. I have had the valuable as-
sistance of Hon. Curtis Lindley, who is associated of record with me.
340 CITY ATTORNEY
This office has defended in the Superior Court and in the Federal Courts
many cases involving the police power of the City and County of San Francisco
and particularly in the matter of health and sanitation ordinances.
There is now pending in the United States Supreme Court the ease of
Laurel Hill Cemetery vs. City and County of San Francisco, which involves the
right of the City and County to prohibit interments within its boundaries.
This case is on the October Calendar of this year for hearing, and a decision
is looked for by this office before the end of the calendar year.
Involving this same point is the case of Bessie Hume vs. City and County
of San Francisco, now at issue in the United States Circuit Court, which will
probably abide by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case
of Laurel Hill Cemetery vs. City and County of San Francisco.
In February, 1908, this office requested permission of the Supreme Court of
this State to file a petition for rehearing in the matter of the decision of the
Appellate Court of this District in the case of Emma L. Merritt vs. C. J. Barta,
et al., which was an action to quiet title to Fractional Block No. 720 ^2.
The Court of Appeals had enunciated the doctrine in its decision that a
public highway or street could be abandoned by implication, and held that the
City and County of San Francisco had lost all title to a large portion of the
Great Highway, now improved and held in several ownerships. A rehearing was
granted by the Supreme Court, and on December 21, 1908, that court held that
the City and County had never parted with its title to the triangular strips of
land now occupied by tenants running from a point below the Cliff House down
to J Street. A rehearing was requested by some of the interested alleged owners,
and the matter is now under final submission to the Supreme Court awaiting de-
cision.
This case is of vital importance to the City, inasmuch as it involves land of
very great value, and in case the City is successful, means the widening of the
Great Highway to a considerable distance.
This office has endeavored to co-operate with the various departments and
commissions in all important matters in which litigation might be possibly
anticipated, and to that end various Assistant City Attorneys have been as-
signed to be present at meetings, so that the form of proceedings of such de-
partments and commissions might be free from legal defects. This, in con-
nection with the very great amount of new labor imposed upon this office,
has necessitated most exacting service from the office force, with most satis-
factory results.
In compliance with Section 9, Article XVI, of the Charter, I herewith
respectfully submit the following report in detail:

ACTIONS TO ESTABLISH TITLE UNDER AN ACT
PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHING AND
QUIETING OF TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY IX
CASE OF THE LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF
PUBLIC RECORDS
This office has found it of extreme importance to the City to continue the
careful examination of actions filed under the "McEnerney Act," in order that
there shall be no decree granted against the City involving City property, streets,
alleys, parks, school and flre department lots, etc. The practice explained in
my last report, of having the Superior Court require, as a condition precedent
to the granting of a decree, that this office consent to judgment, has been con-
tinued. Since my last report of July 1, 1908, and up to the time of this report,
there have been 8,721 actions filed to establish title under the Act. Of these,
a great number have included what appeared to be encroachments on City
property. Investigation is made in each case where such an apparent encroach-
ment appears, and in many cases it finally develops that the City's rights are not
being endangered, because of the closing up of and abandonment of streets by
the City, etc. But in many actions, a real encroachment exists, sometimes through
the plaintiffs describing their property according to old deeds, which descriptions
are no longer correct ; soemtimes through mistakes in the printing of the sum-
mons, and sometimes by reason of parties claiming interests which the City dis-
putes.
The following is a list of the cases pending and determined, for the past
year, in which the City's rights are involved, with a statement of their present
status, or final disposition.

WATER RATES LITIGATION
My last annual report contained a detailed history of the litigation brought
since the adoption of the present Charter by the Spring Valley Water Works
and its successor, the Spring Valley Water Company, against the City and County
of San Francisco to enjoin the enforcement of several ordinances establishing
water rates for the fiscal years 1903-04 to 1908-09, inclusive. Since that report
an additional suit has been brought by the same complainant for the purpose of
enjoining the enforcement of the water rates enacted for the fiscal year 1909-10.
In this suit, which is numbered 14892, a preliminary restraining order has been
issued, and the complainant's motion for an injunction pendente lite has not yet
I been heard.
At the time of my last annual report the motion for a temporary injunction
in the 1908-09 case was under submission. This motion was decided by Judge
Farrington on October 7, 1908, and an exhaustive opinion rendered covering most
of the questions involved in this litigation (165 Fed. Rep. 667). While this
decision granted an injunction pendente lite to the water company upon the
ground that the rates prescribed by ordinance for the year 1908-09 would not
yield full compensation upon the investment of that company, many of the con-
tentions made by this office on behalf of the City were sustained by the Court.
For the purpose of such a decision the Court found the value of the water com-
pany's property to be $27,553,512. The contention of the company has been that
the value of its property is from $40,000,000, to $45,000,000. It was also
decided that an income of 5 per cent, net on the value of its property after the
deduction of taxes, operating and other proper expenses, is neither unreasonable
nor confiscatory.
The Court also held that the cost of establishing a substitutional system in
place of the present system of the Spring Valley Water Company cannot be a
controlling element in the determination of the value of the properties of that
company : also, that the water company had not proven that its franchise was of
any value for rate-fixing purposes; and further, that only property which is in
actual use at the time the rates are fixed can be considered in determining the
value of the property upon which the water company is entitled to an income ;
and still further, that the cost of replacing property destroyed by the earth-
quake and conflagration cannot be charged to the current expenses of the water
company.
The above decision of Judge Farrington is approved and quoted from at
length by the Supreme Court of this State in its recent decision in the case of
Contra Costa Water Company vs. the City of Oakland and the principles there
established are adopted by the Supreme Court.
The latter decision is of particular interest and value to San Francisco for
the reason that several of the noted engineers produced by the Spring Valley
Water Company in its litigation with this City were also called as expert wit-
nesses in the Contra Costa Water Company case. The theories adopted by these
experts in the Oakland case were the same as those advanced by them in the
Spring Valley Water Company litigation. The Supreme Court in its decision in
372 CITY ATTORNEY
the Oakland case has refused to adopt the valuations of these witnesses 'and
has declined to approve of their theories of valuation.
As stated in my last annual report, the three cases brought to enjoin the
enforcement of the water rates for the years 1903-04, 1904-05 and 1905-06
have been consoldiated and are now pending before the Court on final hearing.
The City's brief in these cases was filed on May 8, 1909. This brief con-
tains 791 pages of printed argument, 39 tabulated statements of the different
values placed upon the detailed properties of the Spring Valley Water Com-
pany by the several witnesses, and two appendices. These latter contain
elaborate tables of comparative cost of furnishing water in different cities of
the United States, prepared by J. H. Dockweiler, Engineering Expert, on be-
half of the City, and also a list of all exhibits and of objections taken to dif-
ferent portions of the testimony, and photographs and other exhibits produced on
behalf of the City.
The testimony taken in these cases covers nearly 7,000 pages of type-
written matter, the important portions of which are tabulated and discussed in
the City's brief. As soon as the water company files its brief in reply, these
cases will be argued before the Court upon final hearing, and it is hoped that
a final decision will be reached before the end of the present calendar year.
THE GAS RATES LITIGATION
Two suits have been brought by the San Francisco Gas and Electric
Company for the purpose of enjoining the enforcement of the rates fixed by the
ordinance for the two fiscal years 1908-09 and 1909-10. These cases are:
No. 14742, complaining of gas rates for the fiscal year of 1908-09, and
No. 14903, complaining of the gas rates for the fiscal year of 1909-10.
In the first case a motion for injunction pendente lite was argued before
the Circuit Court in September, 1908, and was decided on October 26, 1908,
the opinion being rendered by Judge Van Fleet (164 Fed. Rep. 884). This
decision grants a writ of temporary injunction upon the ground that the rate
fixed by the ordinance will not produce an adequate income for the gas company
upon the value of its property, but further provides that all excess collected
by the gas company over and above the amount specified in the ordinance shall
be impounded by deposit in bank in a special account, subject to the order of
Court. Since the rendition of that decision has charged 15 cents per 1,000
cubic feet in addition to the ordinance rate of 85 cents per 1,000 cubic feet.
All this excess has, however, been deposited under the order of the Court and
is subject to its order and will be returned to the consumers if the City succeeds
in upholding the ordinance upon final hearing.
The second action was commenced on June 30, 1909, and a temporary re-
straining order issued. Complainant's motion for a preliminary injunction
in the last case is now pending and is undisposed of.
IMPOUNDING OF EXCESS COLLECTED BY WATER AND GAS
COMPANIES
Under the terms of the decision of Judge Farrington in the Spring
Valley Water Company case, above referred to, that company is permitted to
collect from consumrs 15 per cent, excess above the rate prescribed by the
ordinance. The motion from this office for an order impounding this excess,
subject to the order of the Court, in order to secure its return to the rate
payers in the event of final success by the City, was granted by the Court, and
the full amount of such excess is deposited monthly in the Mercantile Trust
Company. The total amount of this deposit to July 1, 1909 is $150,580.53.
In the litigation with the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company, this
office made a similar motion for the impounding of all excess collected above
CITY ATTORNEY 373
the rate prescribed by the ordinance, which motion was also granted, and such
?xcess is deposited monthly in the Bank of California subject to return to the
ite payers in the event that the City succeeds upon final hearing. The
lount of such excess deposited in the latter case to July 1, 1909, is
1=243,057.59.
[TIGATION* EFFECTING THE HETCH HETCHY SOURCE OF WATER
SUPPLY
An action was commenced in the Superior Court of the City and County of
San Francisco in June, 1909, by Henry Root, as a taxpayer against the City
and County of San Francisco and its officers for the purpose of enjoining
the issuance or sale of bonds to be used for the purchase of lands, construction
of canals and other preliminary work, in connection with the development of
the source of municipal water supply in the Hetch Hetchy Valley and at Lake
Eleanor. A motion for preliminary injunction in the case was argued before
Judge Seawell in Department One of the Superior Court in June, 1909.
On June 28, 1909, Judge Seawell rendered a decision denying the injunction
sought and sustaining the proceedings of the Supervisors under which the
issuance of the bonds was submitted to the electors of the City and the bonds
issued.
Judge Seawell held that ample power was conferred upon the Supervisors
to aquire the lands in question and to do the other work -involved under Section
L5 of Article XII of the Charter: and further that the provisions of the
larter had all been complied with in the issuance of these bonds. It wa&
Iso held that the permit of the Secretary of the Interior granting to the City
revocable right to construct the dam and other works necessary for the
levelopment of this water supply was a sufficient basis to warrant the City
in proceeding with the development of the proposed municipal water system,
[n this connection the Court held that inasmuch as the Secretary of the
Interior and the Attorney-General of the United States had decided that the
Secretary had the right to grant this permit, it was not proper for the Court
here to decide otherwise, and that "nothing but a milicious motive could
prompt any future Secretary of the Interior to revoke the rights granted by
this permit after the expenditure of money by the City on the faith thereof."
REVIEW OF MUNICIPAL BOND ISSUES
An important work of the City Attorney's office has been the supervision
of the various bond issues during the fiscal year 1908-09. On Tuesday, the
stli of September, 1908, the first of the $18,200,000 issue voted May 11, 1908,
were sold at a high premium. On November 12, 1908, a special election wa&
held at which three propositions were presented to the voters, and all carried by
large majorities: (1) To acquire the Hetch Hetchy source of water supply;
(2) to incur a bonded indebtedness of $600,000 for acquisition of lands and
preliminary work; (3) to acquire the County line Water System. Thereafter
and on May 17, 1909, $240,000 of the bonds so voted were offered for sale,
but the sale was temporarily restrained by injunction of Judge Seawell of our
Superior Court. This injunction was, on the 28th day of June, 1909, dis-
solved, and the opinion of Judge Seawell given at that time fully sustained
the contentions of the City as to the validity of the proceedings. Prior to this
decision, a full copy of all the proceedings taken were sent to Dillon &
Hubbard. attorneys and bond experts, of New York City, who approved all
the proceedings as legal and proper. On the 28th of June, 1909, these bonds
were sold at a good premium. From the moneys received from these bonds
the lands of Elmer E. Smith in Hetch Hetchy Valley and those adjacent to
374 CITY ATTORNEY
the valley were purchased by the City ; also the lands of Lizzie B. Covel and
Horaito G. Kellett in Hetch Hetchy Valley. The City now owns all lands
within the valley except those held by the United States Government, and the
right to use and submerge these has been granted the City, so that nothing more
need be acquired.
On June 22, 1909, a special election to incur an indebtedness for a City
Hall and other municipal improvements was held, and all propositions except
that of $600,000 for a Polytechnic High School failed to receive the necessary
two-thirds majority.
On June 24, 1909, the proposition to acquire the Geary Street Railroad
was submitted and failed to receive the necessary two-thirds' vote.
LITIGATION CONCERNING BLASTING IN SAN FRANCISCO
A matter that has been before the courts of the City and County of San
Francisco for a great number of years and has been given much attention by
this office is the question of blasting in the City.
The most flagrant case of blasting has been that on Telegraph Hill. This
office took the matter in charge and instituted two cases to prevent the
same, to wit: City and County of San Francisca vs. Gray Bros Crushed Rock
Co., et al. and the People of the State of California vs. Gray Bros. Crushed
Rock Co., et al. In the former case the Superior Court found in favor of the
City in a final judgment, and by its judgment restrained blasting in one
of the quarries on the hill, being the quarry in which most of the damage was
done. In the latter case the Court likewise granted a preliminary injunction
restraining the blasting upon the ground of its being a nuisance.
This office commenced another suit, People of the State of California vs.
Gray Bros. Crushed Rock Co. et al., to restrain defendants from blasting in
their quarry at Thirtieth and Castro Streets. Here, again, the City was
victorious, and the Court granted an injunction restraining blasting, but
limited its injunction in such a way as to permit blasting provided it could
be done without injury or detriment to persons or property in the neigh-
borhood.
Another similar case handled by this office during the past year was
the action, Pacific States Supply Company vs. City and County of San Fran-
cisco, an action brought in the United States Circuit Court. The real pur-
pose of the action was to have declared invalid the ordinance prohibiting
blasting in the City and County of San Francisco without permit from the
Board of^ Supervisors. This action is under submission with the United States
Circuit Court.
Great progress has been made in the work of preventing improper and
illegal blasting within the City's limits.
LITIGATION CONCERNING TAXES
As to questions concerning taxation this office has now pending many cases
decisions in which will set at rest important tax questions.
There is now under submission in the Superior Court of the City and
County of San Francisco, Wells Fargo & Co. vs. City and County of San Fran-
cisco. This action was presented upon briefs by this office, and the decision in
this case will be of great importance, as it will decide the right of the County
to assess the franchises of an express company doing business in said County.
This office has established one precedent in regard to tax cases which
it considers worthy of mention, and that is that in all cases wherein suit is
brought to restrain the Tax Collector from enforcing the collection of a tax against
property, suit is forthwith brought against the plaintiff in the name of the City
(MTV ATTORNEY 375
tnd County of San Francisco, for the collection of the tax. This is done to
n-ent the running of the Statute of Limitations as against the City and County,
tax payer meanwhile resting secure under protection of a preliminary injunc-
jn or restraining order.
BOARD OF HEALTH CASES
Within the last few months a number of cases have been commenced in
the Superior Court in which the plaintiffs have sought injunctions against the
Board of Health to prevent the Board of Health from abating alleged nuisances.
In all of these cases of alleged nuisances the Board of Health has proceeded
under Ordinance No. 501 (New Series).
The nuisances alleged by the Board of Health to exist in practically
all of these cases, are the presence upon premises of rat harbors, which hinder
the Board of Health in its campaign to exterminate the rats of this City, and
thereby prevent the recurrence of plague. The injunction suits have arisen
out of the demands of the Board of Health that these rat harbors be done
away with by concreting surface soil and the erection of area walls, so as to
prevent the ingress and egress of rats.
In the case of Charles Campodonico vs. the Board of Health, et al., No.
21571. Department 8r the power of the Board of Health under Ordinance 501
was tried out upon an order to show cause why an injunction should not issue.
Judge Sturtevant in that case held that the declaration by the Board of Health
inder said ordinance that a rat harbor existed, was not binding upon the
Courts upon a motion for a temporary injunction. It was the opinion of
Fudge Sturtevant that whenever the Board of Health under the Charter and under
this ordinance proceeds to abate a nuisance, the person alleged to be main-
lining the nuisance has the right to have tried before the Superior Court the
question whether or not the alleged nuisance in fact exists. It will be necessary
lerefore, to try each one of the cases now pending upon the respective merits
>f each case, as to whether or not a nuisance declared to exist by the Board of
Health, in its proceedings under Ordinance No. 501, in fact does exist.
As soon as the courts reconvene to try cases, the cases will be tried and
a test case will be made as to whether or not the 'presence in San Francisco
of a rat harbor in fact constitutes a public nuisance, and whether it is proper
and within the powers of the Board of Health to require in case a rat harbor
exists that the owner of the premises concrete and build area walls so as to
prevent the ingress and egress of rats.
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS CASES.
This office has given informal advice to the Board of Public Works on a
Inr-e number of matters pending before that Board. In the case of D'Olier
Engineering Co. vs. the Board of Public Works, plaintiff sought to prevent the
Board from letting a contract to the Byron Jackson Iron Works for the build-
ing of the pumps to be used in the Auxiliary Fire System and in the two fire
boats now in the course of construction. The Byron Jackson Iron Works was
the lowest local bider, and the D'Olier Engineering Company the lowest foreign
bidder, the D'Olier Engineering Co. being slightly lower in price than the Byron
Jackson Iron Works. This office was able to show that the D'Olier Engineering
Co. had not complied with the proposal of the Board of Public Works inviting
bids and had failed to comply in many respects with the Charter of the City
and County of San Francisco, and further that the D'Olier Engineering Co. had
failed to produce satisfactory evidence of its ability to carry out the contract.
The plaintiff was unsuccessful in this action, and this work, amounting to over
$100. 000. was kept here, and the work is now being done in the vicinity of
376 CITY ATTORNEY
San Francisco. Local concerns and labor are thus sharing in the benefits aris-
ing from this large expenditure of money by the City and County.
In constructing sewers and cisterns for the Auxiliary Fire System, trouble
has arisen from public service corporations having pipes and conduits in the
public streets. In several instances the presence of pipes and conduits owned
by public service corporations and private concerns has interfered with the
progress of public work. This office recommended to the Board of Supervisors
that the Board of Supervisors pass an ordinance empowering the Board of
Public Works to compel public service corporations having pipes and conduits
in the public streets interfering with the progress of public work to remove
those pipes and conduits so as to allow the prosecution of the public work in
accordance with the plans and specifications therefor ; the ordinance to further
provide that in case the corporations or persons owning the pipes and conduits
should refuse or neglect to remove the same, the Board of Public Works should
have power to summarily remove them and charge the expense thereof to the
person or corporation owning them. The Board of Supervisors has recently
passed such an ordinance, and it is now in force and effect. This will allow
the Board of Public Works to carry on their work in the construction of sewers
and cisterns and the Auxiliary Fire System without being interrupted or pre-
vented by the presence in the streets of pipes and conduits interfering with
the work.
SPECIAL ACTIONS BROUGHT UNDER ACT OF LEGISLATURE OF MARCH
23, 1901, FOR APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIANS OVER PUBLIC
CHARGES, WHEN SAID CHARGES ACQUIRE PROPERTY INTERESTS.
On March 23, 1901, the Legislature of the State of California enacted a
statute entitled ' 'An Act to provide for the maintenance and support, in certain
cases, of indigent, incompetent and incapacitated persons (other than persons
adjudged insane and confined within State .hospitals), becoming a public charge
upon the counties or cities and counties within the State of California and for
the payment thereof into a fund for the maintenance and support of such
persons.' '
The Act provides generally that every county and city and county shall
relieve and support all pauper, incompetent, poor and indigent persons, and
those incapacitated by age, disease, or accident, lawfully resident therein, when
such persons are not supported by their relatives and friends, or by their own
means or by State hospitals or by other State or private institutions; that it
shall be the duty of the superintendent of any county hospital or almshouse to
make diligent inquiry into the ability of any inmate to bear the actual charges
and expense of his or her maintenance and support and to notify the City
Attorney or the District Attorney of such county or city and county the result
of such inquiry. In case such inmate shall be or shall thereafter become the
owner of property, real, personal or mixed, it shall be the duty of the City
Attorney of the county or city and county, when such person shall be incom-
petent, to apply to the proper court for the appointment of a general guardian
of the person and estate or either, of such person or minor.
It is further provided in the Act that out of the property of such incom-
petent the expenses of his or her maintenance shall be paid into the treasury
of such county or city and county.
In pursuance of said Act, I instituted proceedings in two cases, brought
to my attention by the Superintendent of the Relief Home for the Aged and
Infirm, viz: In the matter of the estate and guardianship of Ann Kelly, an in-
competent person, No. 8016; Superior Court; petition for letters of guardian-
ship in re inmates of almshouse under Act of March 23, 1901, and in the matter
of the estate and guardianship of Elizabeth Straube, an incompetent person.
CITY ATTORN KV 377
No. 8017; Supeior Court; petition for letters of guardianship in re inmates of
almshouse under Act of March 23, 1901.
In the first poceeding, Ann Kelly, the incompetent, had about $1,200 on
deposit in various banks in this City. (Letters of guardianship were ordered
issued to the nephew of said incompetent.)
In the second case, Elizabeth Straube, the incompetent, is the owner of
a lot on the west line of Eighth Avenue, 100 feet south of Point Lobos Avenue.
(In this case letters of guardianship were ordered issued to C. M. Wollenberg,
Superintendent of the Relief Home, the petitioner.)
I have also filed claims on behalf of the City and County for their support
against the estates of Mary O'Neil, deceased, and P. Finnegan, deceased, who
at the time of their deaths were and for a long time prior thereto, had been,
inmates of the Relief Home.

REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF ENGINEERING
San Francisco, Cal., August 16, 1909.
To the Honorable, The Board of Public Works, of the City and County of San
Francisco.
Gentlemen: — In accordance with the requirements of the Charter, I submit
herewith a report of the operations of the Bureau of Engineering for the fiscal
year 1908-1909. Respectfully,
MARSDEN MANSON,
City Engineer.
INTRODUCTION.
The work accomplished under the Bureau of Engineering during the fiscal
year 1908-09 was upon a greater scale than previously undertaken in this city.
Besides current work and the work incident to the rehabilitation of public and
private structures, four great municipal projects have been rapidly and effectively
advanced.
FIRST — In immediate importance stands the High Pressure Fire System,
which in area covered and in the use of efficient means is equal if not superior
to that of any other city. The elements of this system are: (1) Two of the
most powerful fire boats known, which are nearing completion; (2) Ninety-four
miles of high pressure pipe of ample capacity to cope with any fire or con-
flagration possibilities, and equipped with every means and appliance to render
it of the highest efficiency; the entire system is guarded against accident by
having four separate and independent sources of supply, each individually
adequate to meet its demands; the pipe is now being delivered and tested; (3)
In case of disaster of an extreme nature, a system of heavily reinforced concrete
cisterns of 75,000 gallons capacity each; three of these are completed and
accepted, 13 are under examination and test, and 41 under construction; the
progress of this work is set forth in the diagram showing the position of fire
cisterns.
Full details and illustrations are given in the body of the report.
SECOND — The sewer system, which has long been contemplated and de-
signed in its general plan and parts constructed in past years, has been ad-
vanced to a greater extent during the fiscal year just closed than in any other
year. The construction of each of the mains and of principal laterals is given
in detail and fully illustrated under the proper headings.
Three contracts were completed during the past fiscal year, as follows:
California Street, from Davis to Drumm Streets $10,256.64
Commercial Street, from Sansome to Drumm Streets 32,152.39
Twenty-fourth Street, from Douglas to Castro Streets 14,002.31
Total $56,411.34
Six contracts are under way, 5 are prepared for advertising, and 9 are in
preparation for immediate presentation.
Plans and specifications for the remaining contracts, some 20 in number,
are in various stages of preparation, as hereinafter outlined.
KEPOET OF CITY ENGINEER 387
THIRD — Municipal and Incinerating Plants — The health and convenience
citizens has for many years past suffered from unsanitary and inefficient dis-
sition of municipal refuse. The bond issue of May 11, 1908, made available a
ind of $1,000,000 for the construction of Incinerators of modern design and
ficiency. No effective data existed as to the locus of origin, quantity, char-
;ter, and calorific value of the refuse produced in the various portions of the
ity. Before adequate means of disposition could be designed full data regarding
above essential factors had to be gathered.
This has been done and the ablest authority in this field, Mr. Rudolph
lering, is now aiding this Bureau in preparing the details of the incinerating
lants, which work will be completed in the early part of the fiscal year 1909-10.
During the months of October, November and December, 1908, and January,
February, March and April, 1909, the daily number of loads of refuse delivered
at the present incinerating plant was recorded. It was found that the average
number of loads was 198 per day, and the average volume was 150 cubic feet.
During the period 50,476 tons of refuse was observed and classified in order to
arrive at definite data to lay before bidders that they may bid intelligently.
The average calorific value of this refuse was ascertained to be 2,412 B. T.
U. per pound, which is so low that forced draught and pre-heated air will be
necessary to secure complete combustion, from which power for the forced
draught and other purposes will be developed. Each plant will develop several
hundred horsepower.
FOURTH — The Hetch Hetchy water supply has been pushed rapidly despite
rigorous and resourceful monopoly opposition. This project has been, and is
2ing, opposed by the combined power of water supply and power companies
irhich seek to establish and perpetuate corporation control of these great natural
)urces of public wealth. The efforts of any city to break loose from monopoly
jntrol and to establish municipal ownership are so handicapped by prescribed
forms and modes of procedure and by the action of the separate and badly co-
lained branches of City government that positive action is feeble when con-
ronted by the more available machinery of opposition. Only at the cost of re-
tted delays is success finally possible and even then, provided that the action
of an energetic and honest administration is sustained by the consistent support
of the mass of the people and of public opinion. We are now in the most critical
stages of perfecting these rights. The success attained during the past year has
stimulated the opposition to more vigorous efforts. Every known method of
obstruction and delay has been put forth and these methods, masked by a veil
of sentiment easily called into action and difficult to overcome, will result in
loss to the City unless the work already accomplished shall be backed up by its
people and authorities in no mistaken manner.
PROPOSED BOND ISSUES.

were: (1) under private contract, 199, all of which have received study and
action, except six which were under investigation at the close .of the year; (2)
for sewers under public contract, 134 petitions were submitted, all of which were
reported upon except twenty, upon which reports are pending ; ( 3 ) for repairs to
sewers, 35; action was taken on 31, leaving four under examination. These
petitions required the preparation of plans and specifications as follows: Private
contracts, 128; public contracts (property), 41; public contracts (bond
issue), 18.

The details of this work are set forth in tabular and graphic form in the
body of this report.
STREETS AND PAVEMENTS — The number of petitions for streets and
pavements received during the fiscal year was 1,199, upon which 1,091 reports
have been rendered and 108 are in hand under investigation. Besides these, 252
miscellaneous petitions were referred to this office, of which 231 were reported
upon and 21 remain to be investigated. Three hundred and fifty-three sets of
specifications were prepared and 108 remain to be investigated prior to prepara-
tion of specifications. The general review of this work is given in later portions
of this report.
On public and private contracts in current work there was expended during
the fiscal year just passed:
In pavements $616,596.65
In curbs 146,455.05
In gutters 1,476.62
In artificial stone, bituminous rock and broken rock sidewalks 24,300.05
Total . $788,828.37
Details of which work are set forth in tabular form in the body of this report.
DIVISION OF SURVEYS — Two thousand four hundred and seven (2,407)
re-surveys defining lines and frontage of blocks have been made by order of The
Board of Supervisors in the several districts; 59 surveys for the various de-
partments of the City Government; 160 street and grade surveys for private
parties; 136 for the Board of Public Works; 25:', surveys for public contracts
for street work; 1,013 for private contracts for same, and 376 for public work
connected with this office. In addition 56.18 miles of precise leveling work
has been done.
The fees received by this division during the fiscal year and turned into
the treasury amounted to $22,944.90.
GRADES CHANGED AND ESTABLISHED — One thousand and sixty-two
(1,062) grade elevations were changed to adjust street gradients more advant-

igeously : and seventy-three (73) were established where improvements de-
landed.
LABORATORY TESTS — The laboratory is now equipped to make the most
ssential chemical and physical tests of cements, asphalts and bitumens, sand, etc.
Hiring the fiscal year just passed 3,622 tests have been made of these materials,
^suiting in the control of the quality of the materials of construction to a
?ater extent than heretofore.
One of the results of this work has been the establishment and successful
outcome of the very efficient municipal asphalt plant, upon completion and
thorough testing this plant was turned over to the Bureau of Streets for opera-
tion. The following is an outline of its construction and operation. It will be
noted that the saving in cost over previous contract prices has in four months
more than paid for the plant.
M ( XICIPAL ASPHALT PLANT — During the fiscal year just passed, it
was determined after very critical study to construct a municipal asphalt plant
at Kith and Division Streets. Bids were called for in accordance with specifi-
cations prepared under this office, contract was let to Hetherington & Berner.
who commenced work August 18, 1908. and completed the plant on October 14,
1908.
The total cost of this plant was $9,610.90, and it was put into operation the
latter part of March, 1909. The guaranteed capacity for which this plant was
mstructed is 4,500 square feet of wearing surface two inches thick per day.
plant has been worked to more than 20% in excess of this capacity con-
inuously and more than paid for itself in saving over contract prices within four
lonths after having been put into effective operation, the details of which have
•n furnished from time to time in the weekly reports and which are smn-
iari/e as follows:
During the months of March, April, May and June the quantities of wearing
irface and of binder turned out have been as follows:
March 20,756 cubic feet
April 40,854 cubic feet
May 44,624 cubic feet
June 32,151 cubic feet
It will be observed thut the output of the plant for March was practically
doubled (luring April, and still further increased during the month of May, but
fell off in June, owing to the greater distance hauled and to repairs due in part
to operating the plant in excess of its economic working capacity. The cost of
output per cubic foot used during June was somewhat less than previously,
owing to the substitution of stone dust instead of cement in the repair of streets
subject to light traffic. This will be further reduced by the substitution of stone
dust alone as filler for the patching of streets subject to light traffic.
During the month of June $250.00 was expended for repairs necessitated
as above mentioned.
- The cost per square foot for work has been as follows:
March. April. May. June.
Kate per square foot for Market Street $0.152 $0.1116 $0.6952 $0.1021
Rate per square foot for other work 0.1622 0.11912 0.0943 0.0968
Rate per square foot for all work 0.1552 0.11449 0.095 0.0981

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 393
AUXILIARY WATER SYSTEM — SALT WATER.
IFIRE BOATS AND PUMPING STATIONS FOR THE AUXILIARY HIGH
PRESSURE WATER SUPPLY.
The following work has been done during the fiscal year 1908-09, in the
construction of the two fire boats "Scannell" and ''Sullivan,'' and on the
mechanical equipment for the Auxiliary Water Supply System, during the past
pear :
In March, 1908, when it became apparent that the proposed bond issue
for the construction of an Auxiliary Water Supply System for fire protection for
this City would probably be carried, this office assumed the responsibility of
procedure with the preparations of plans and specifications for two fire boats,
which it was proposed to build for use in connection with this system, and
Mr. T. W. Ransom, Consulting Mechanical Engineer, was employed to proceed
with these plans.
The preparations of plans and specifications was, therefore, commenced at
that date and by reason of this action the work of construction was advanced
at least two months.
Each of these boats, which are to be duplicates, is 129 feet long over all,
120 feet long between perpendiculars, 26 feet moulded beam and 12 feet 9 inches
moulded depth and is to be constructed of steel throughout. Each boat is a
single deck hull with a deck house over the space occupied by the boilers and
machinery and with a raised pilot house at the forward end of the deck house.
It is constructed with a flat plate keel, elliptical stern and straight stein. The
ends of the hull are cut away and a balanced rudder is fitted, provided so as to
increase the manoeuvering power of the boat. There are four water-tight bulk-
heads athwart ships and oil-tight tanks for the stowage of fuel oil, in the way
of the boilers.
The two main engines are of the compound direct acting inverted cylinder
.type, having high pressure cylinders 13 inches in diameter, low pressure cylin-
ders 28 inches in diameter with 20 inches stroke. They are fitted with Steven-
son link motion, steam reversing gear and hand turning gear.
The boilers, two in number, are of the Babcock and Wilcox type built for
a working pressure of 200 pounds per square inch with a combined heating
surface of about 5,400 square feet. They are to use fuel oil with a separate
smoke stack for each boiler.
Each boat is equipped with surface condensers, independent air, feed
donkey, circulating and fuel oil pumps, steam steering gear, a 10 K. W. electric
lighting engine, and steam windlass, ten thousand candle-power search light,
tanks for the stowage of lubricating and lamp oil and a feed water heater of the
enclosed type.
The fire pumps were built under a separate contract from the boats as de-
scribed below; they are multi-stage turbine pumps, driven by condensing steam
turbines. There are two pumps in each boat and each of these has a capacity
)f 4,500 gallons per minute against a pressure of 150 pounds per square inch, or
2,250 gallons per minute against a pressure of 300 pounds per square inch, thus
making the capacity of each boat 9,000 gallons per minute against a pressure
of 150 pounds per square inch, or 4,500 gallons per minute against a pressure
of 300 pounds per square inch.
Each boat is equipped with two 3" batteries on top of the deck house, a 3"
telescopic water tower amidship, and with two 2" portable batteries which can
be used on the main deck. In addition, there are two hydrants, each fitted with
ten 3" hose connections on each boat.
Contract No. 1 for the construction of these boats was signed with the
Risdon Iron and Locomotive Works on the 17th of November, 1908, the contract
394 BOAED OF PUBLIC WORKS
price being $262,200.00, which does not include multi-stage turbine pumps and
turbine engines for driving same. (See contract No. 13).
Work on the construction of the boats was immediately commenced and
the first keel plate was laid on the 3d of February, 1909. The hull of the rirst
boat, the "David Scannell," was launched at 4 P. M. on Saturday. May -j-j,
1909, and the second boat, the "Dennis T. Sullivan," was launched at 10:45
A. M. on Tuesday, June 15, 1909.
Immediately after launching, work was commenced on the installation of
the machinery for these boats, and at the present time this work is nearing
completion.
On the 30th of June, it was estimated that 86.6% of all the work on the
hulls of both boats had been completed and that 75.8% of all the work on the
machinery for both boats was completed. This is equivalent to the completion
of 80% of all the work involved in the construction of these boats.

[ULTI-STAGE TURBINE PUMPS AND TURBINE ENGINES FOR THE FIRE
BOATS AND FOR THE EMERGENCY SALT WATER PUMPING STATIONS.
As soon as the plans and specifications for the fire boats had been com-
pleted, the preparation of specifications for the fire pumps for the boats and
for the salt water pumping stations was actively taken up and a contract for
their construction was signed with the Byron Jackson Iron Works of this City
on December 18, 1908, the contract price for four pumps for the fire boats and
eight pumps for the salt water pumping stations being $120,000.00.
These are all multi-stage turbine pumps and are driven by steam turbines;
the pumps in the fire boats are driven by condensing turbines, and those in the
salt water pumping stations by non-condensing turbines.
The Byron Jackson Iron Works, with the approval of the Board of Public
Works, entered into a sub-contract with the General Electric Company for the
mstruction of these steam turbines on December 21, 1908.
The steam turbines for the fire boats were delivered April 16, 1909, at the
fnion Iron Works, and were tested as hereafter outlined.
Four of the steam turbines for the salt water pumps are practically com-
sleted at Lynn, Mass., at the present time, and the remaining four will be com-
pleted in the near future. Upon the delivery of the steam turbines for the fire
boats at the works of the Union Iron Works Company, they were erected with
le pumps, which, in the meantime, had been built by the Byron Jackson Iron
Works and prepared for testing.
RESULTS OF TESTS.
The contract for the construction of the fire boat pump provides that :
"Each pumping set, when operating under a steam pressure of 150 pounds
per square inch, exhausting into a vacuum of approximately 26 inches of mer-
cury and using not more than 12,000 pounds of dry steam per hour, shall pump
not less than 2,250 gallons per minute against a discharge pressure of 300
pounds per square inch, the suction head being zero."
The results of the test were to demonstrate that the specified capacities
were extended to on an average 2%, and that in efficiency the specified require-
ments were extended by 5%.
The details of these tests are as follows:
The first unit, consisting of one engine and pump, was tested on the 16th
of May, 1909, and the details of this test were:
Pump pressure, 299.9 pounds per square inch.
Pump discharge, 2,281 gallons per minute.
Steam pressure, 149.5 pounds per square inch.
Condenser vacuum, 26 inches.
Speed, 1,865 R. P. M.
Steam consumption, 11,246 pounds per hour.
The second pump was tested on May 24th and 25th, 1909, with the fol-
lowing results:
Pump pressure, 299.4 pounds per square inch.
Pump discharge, 2,257 gallons per minute.
Steam pressure, 148 pounds per square inch.
M .i BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Condenser vacuum, 26.08 inches.
Speed, 1,829 R. P. M.
Steam consumption, 11,576 pounds per hour.
Pump No. ;: was tested on May 29th and 30th, 1909, with the following
results :
Pump pressure, 315.9 pounds per square inch.
Pump discharge, 2,334 gallons per minute.
Steam pressure, 150.5 pounds per square inch.
Condenser vacuum, 25.69 inches.
Speed, 1,888 R, P. M.
Steam consumption, 11,388 pounds per hour.
Pump No. 4 was tested on the June 8th and 9th, 1909, with the following
results:
Pump pressure, 302 pounds per square inch.
Pump discharge, 2,305 gallons per minute.
Steam pressure, 148.5 pounds per square inch.
Condenser vacuum, 26.25 inches.
Speed, 1,886 R. P. M.
Steam consumption, 11,406 pounds per hour.
From which it appears that all of the pumps for the fire boats slightly
exceed the requirements of the contract in regard to both steam consumption
and capacity.
Upon the satisfactory completion of the above tests, each pump was delivered
to the Risdon Iron and Locomotive Works for emplacement on board the fire
boat for which it was intended. (See contract No. 1).
ENGINE AND PUMP EQUIPMENT FOR THE EMERGENCY SALT WATER
PUMPING STATIONS.
The stationary pumps for the salt water emergency stations, which are
being constructed by the Byron Jackson Iron Works under the same contract.
are in the following stage of progress :
Two bed plates, 8 thrust bearing pedestals and 1 pump casing have IM en
cast and all the tools and templates for finishing these casings have been com-
pleted and are ready for use.
The steam turbines, which drive these pumps and which are being con
structed at the shops of the General Electric Company at Lynn, Mass., are
progressing satisfactorily. Three turbines have been finished and tested in the
shop and a fourth will be ready to test within the next few days. The remain-
ing four turbines are nearing completion.
TESTS OF JOINTS FOR CAST PIPES.
Before undertaking to prepare definite specifications and forms for joints
in the high pressure pipe system, it was deemed prudent to test the forms in
use, to modify them according to such tests and to adopt the one best suited
for the severe pressure to which the pipes were to be subjected in use.
There were therefore prepared and cast a series of joints varying from 1
to 19a. The principal forms are shown in the annexed diagram. The numbers
missing in this series were eliminated early in the tests, and it is not deemed
necessary to give them further notice.
The requirements which it is necessary to meet are:
1. Great tensile strength endwise.
2. Joint yielding under this strain must be by flow and not by shearing.
4. Maximum flexibility consistent with strength.
REPORT OF CITY KX(i INKER 397
The sections selected were cast in forms 8 inch inside diameter, caulked and
tested under various pressures from 300 pounds per square inch to 2,750 pounds.
The following tables from the final result of these tests in the order of the
pressures necessary to disrupt the joints:

Tests were also made to determine the leakage with and without endwise
displacement of the joints. The final results were:
WITHOUT DISPLACEMENT OF JOINT— Joint No. 19, at a pressure five
times greater than the static service pressure, or 1,500 Ibs. per square inch,
leaked only a few drops at first, ceasing within 30 minutes.
UNDER LATERAL DISPLACEMENT— A scries of tests were made after
displacing the various types of joints laterally, and the rate of leakage was
measured when displaced. In these tests the pressure applied was 300 pounds
per square inch. The best results were obtained with joint No. 17, which
scarcely leaked at all after it had been laterally displaced for one and one-half
inches. After this joint had been pressed in and out fifteen times with a move-
ment of IVa" each time, the rate of leakage from the two sides of the joint was
less than four gallons per minute.
Joint No. 17 gave the best results in the displacement tests, but joint No.
'1<»A also showed very small leakage under these same conditions and was
superior in this respect to any of the other joints tried except No. 17.
The benefit of the groove in the spigot end was brought out by these tests.
Joint No. 19, under these conditions, leaked materially more than joint No. 19A
when displaced considerably.
A series of tests of this joint was made to determine the effect of the dis-
tortion of the joint due to settlement of pipe line or other movement.
Joint No. 19A, when the plug was so moved to correspond to a deflection of
IVz" in a, 12-foot length of pipe, showed an extremely small leakage.
Joint No. 19 was found to best answer all requirements, and was adopted
as the final form for both cast iron pipe and specials and for cast steel specials.
This latter material, by reason of its greater strength, will be used in sections
of the City where settlements and displacements reach their maximum, or on
artificially filled ground. These sections are also provided with gate valves to
cut them out, either by blocks or sections, as contingencies may require.

406 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
TIDAL OBSERVATIONS TO DETERMINE THE BEST POSITION OF THE
POINT OF OUTFALL FOR THE SEWERAGE FROM THE
OCEAN SLOPE OF THE PENINSULA.
In the early studies and projection of a sewer system, the best point of
outfall was determined to be off Mile Rock in deep water and strong tidal cur-
rents. The tidal currents charted upon the U. S. C. & G. S. indicated that
sewerage discharge at or near that point would be carried out to sea and that
these currents were of such strength and volume that no injurious effects could
result from the use of this point of outfall.
It was recognized that the cost of utilization would be greater than that
of points further south within the southerly limits of the county, but the great
value of the beach opposite the Golden Gate Park and the Great Highway as
a health and pleasure resort made it manifest that under no possible considera-
tion should this great resort of the City be damaged either to sight or to any
delicate sensibility.
During 1908, well meant efforts were made by certain citizens looking to
a reduction of the cost of a point of outfall for the west slope drainage, to have
considered the advisability of using an outfall at or near the foot of X Street.
This proposition was urged with such earnestness that it was deemed best to
make a series of float observations upon the tides at these two points.
A suitable tug boat and crew was therefore hired and placed in charge of
Junior Assistant Engineer Westdahl, who conducted this set of observations
during the months of September, October and November, 1908, the result of
which will be briefly summarized later.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS CONTROLLING DISCHARGE OF SEWERAGE
INTO TIDAL WATERS.
In the discharge of large sewers of comparatively light gradients into tidal
waters, the discharge takes place principally during the ebb. It is checked
by the succeeding flood as the tide rises, and the sewer fills partly from sewer-
age in its upper reaches. This process of filling and emptying the sewer is
nearly concurrent with tidal movements. It will therefore be observed that as
the ebb starts the great volume of sewerage accumulated during the preceding
flood period is rapidly discharged into the currents of the ebb flow.
OBSERVATIONS AT MILE ROCK POINT.
The tidal current observations were carried on during all stages of tide, and
the floats liberated were followed by the tug and their course noted; these were
platted upon large scale sheets for final study and comparison.
Floats liberated during the period of time between 2 hours before the 30
minutes after the time of low water, moved in general parallel with the coast
southerly, and a few of these floats went ashore near the point of liberation.
This, it will be observed, is a period of time when the last of the contents of
the sewers would be emptying.
Floats liberated during a period of strong ebb tide between 1 hour and
50 minutes to 3 hours and 48 minutes after the time of high water moved di-
rectly into strong littoral currents and were lost over the bar in the south
channel. This would be the period of greatest sewer discharge.
Floats liberated during the commencement of the ebb tide or from 32
minutes to 2 hours and 9 minutes after the time of high water moved either
southerly with the littoral currents or went to sea in a southwesterly direction.
This also is a period of strong sewer discharge.
EEPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 407
Floats liberated during the last of the flood current from 1 h mr and 32
unutes before to 1 hour after the time of high water moved in irregular courses
an eddy north and northwest of Mile Rock and between it and Fort Point,
id then turned out to sea; this is a stage of little sewerage discharge.
Floats liberated during a period of strong flood tide, or from 2 hours and
minutes to 5 hours after the time of low water, followed the same course
the preceding, except a small percentage were drawn into the Golden Gate ;
this is a period of very small sewerage discharge.
Floats liberated during the commencement of the flood current from 1 hour
and 12 minutes before to 3 hours after the time of low water moved in irregular
lines in an eddy northwest of Mile Rock and quite a number of them went ashore
between Mile Rock and Baker's Beach; this is a period of least sewer dis-
charge.
The result of a study of these observations and of the conditions is that
at no point outside Golden Gate can a more desirable point of outfall be found.
The volume and velocity of the tidal currents off Mile Rock Point are so great
that the degrees of dilution insures absolute harmlessness from the sewerage
from any reasonable population that may be in the future concentrated on the
west slope of the peninsula. Moreover, at any time the sewerage can be col-
lected and held in reservoirs made by enlarging the proposed tunnel under
Point Lobos. These reservoirs would be discharged only during periods of
strong ebb tide, when, as the observations above noted indicate, it will be carried
direct to sea.
OBSERVATIONS OFF THE FOOT OF X STREET.
During these same months, observations of the same character as above
noted were conducted off the foot of X Street. This point is in no way dis-
tinguished in tidal movements from any point south of the Seal Rocks; the
general tidal currents are the same, and the continuous wave action and winds
are directly against or oblique to the beach line; hence observations at this
point give results applicable to any point south of Seal Rocks and for several
miles south of the southerly limits of the county.
Of the floats liberated off X Street at various stages of the tide, about
60 per cent, went ashore, the majority of them between the Sea Breeze Resort
and the Golden Gate Life Saving Station. This is a portion of the beach fre-
quented by larger crowds during the entire year than any other point between
Point Conception and the Oregon line. About 26 per cent, of the floats moved
southerly, parallel with the beach line, notably during ebb tide. A small per-
centage moved northly, parallel with the beach line and were drawn into the
eddy north of Point Lobos.
It will be seen from these results that under no circumstances should the
discharge of sewerage be permitted at any point south of Seal Rocks, as the
result would be a contamination of the beach between X Street and the Seal
Rocks, which beach is an asset of high value as a health and pleasure resort.
The cost of these observations was $28,020.35, which sum was well spent,
as it demonstrated the safety of using a proper outfall at Mile Rock Point, which
utilization, although costly so far as first construction is concerned, is fully
justified when it is considered that no injury to the beach south of Point Lobos
will be incurred.

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 411
MUNICIPAL INCINERATING.
[NYESTIGATION CONDUCTED TO ASCERTAIN THE ORIGIN, NATURE
AND QUANTITIES OF REFUSE PRODUCED IN DIF-
FERENT DISTRICTS IN THE CITY.
During the months of October, November and December, 1908, and January,
^ebruary, March and April, 1909, a full investigation was made to determine
various factors in regard to the origin, quantity and nature of the refuse col-
lected in the City of San Francisco.
This information was required for the proper design and construction of
incinerators and the collection of refuse by the City, and to lay before bidders
the requirements to be met.
The chief facts to be ascertained related to the character of the refuse
considered as fuel, the district of the City from which it was collected and
ground covered by each collector.
With the exception of kitchen refuse, used to feed hogs and chickens,
manure for gardens on the peninsula, and dead animals used by the works of
the Standard Manufacturing and Supply Company, at 5th Avenue and M Streets
South, for fertilizing, all the refuse collected in the City is delivered to the
icinerators of the Sanitary Reduction Works at Rhode Island and Alameda
Streets.
Most of the refuse is brought to the works in two-horse wagons, which dump
jackward. Each wagon was numbered and measured, and the lists show the
capacity of each in cubic feet. From this list the approximate volume of each
id was determined and the mean unit weight of the refuse in pounds per cubic
foot. The wagons vary in capacity from 58 to 239 cubic feet, holding on the
average 139 cubic feet when even full. The refuse is often piled above the
top, however, so that the volume of one load in the regular collecting wagons
jmetimes reaches 450 cubic feet, and the volume of loads of banana leaves on
private wagons is sometimes 800 cubic feet. The average volume of the loads
brought in is 150 cubic feet.
There were about 180 regular refuse collecting wagons in use during the
time of the observations. On the average there were 198 loads per day col-
lected, some wagons making two trips. The maximum number of loads in one
day was 214.
On arriving at the works, the loads are weighed and the drivers pay cash
down for the disposal of the refuse at the rate of 60 cents per ton. The average
net weight of the loads of refuse is about 4,400 pounds, and the maximum
weight is about 11,000 pounds, for which the charge is from $1.32 to $3.30.
During the period of the investigation the weights were entered on the
data sheets each day from the weigher's tags, opposite the corresponding wagon
number.
While each load was being dumped into the refuse bunkers, it was inspected
and a record was noted on the data sheets of the hour, the tag number of the
wagon, volume of the load and condition as to water content, the general nature
of the load, that is, the relative quantity of ashes, garbage and rubbish, con-
tained in the load, as nearly as the relative volume could be observed; thus
the approximate quantity of vegetables, fruit, paper, wood, rags, leather, rubber,
metals, glass crockery, manure, etc., was determined.
By taking the average of a number of loads, which were practically all
garbage, the unit weight of garbage was estimated. In the same manner the
unit weights of ashes and rubbish were obtained.
The unit weights obtained this way were 40 pounds per cubic foot for ashes,
36 pounds per cubic foot for garbage and 23 pounds per cubic foot for rubbish.
The relative proportions of combustible, incombustible and moisture in the
412 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
ashes, garbage and rubbish and in the average refuse indicate, however, that
in connection with the observed relative volume of ashes, garbage and rubbish,
these unit weights should be slightly modified so that for refuse having an
average unit weight of 30.1 pounds per cubic foot the unit weight of ashes may
be taken at 41 pounds per cubic foot, the unit weight of garbage 41 pounds per
cubic foot, and the unit weight of rubbish 22.5 pounds per cubic foot.
The relative proportions of the components of average refuse by volume as
estimated from observation was found to be 8 per cent, ashes, 34 per cent, gar-
bage and 58 per cent, rubbish. Combining these figures with the unit weights,
we have for the proportion of the components of average refuse by weight 10
per cent, ashes, 46 per cent, garbage, and 44 per cent, rubbish.
In addition to the general observations as to the weight, volume and com-
position of the loads, the collectors, who generally know very little English,
were questioned by an Italian interpreter as to the parts of the City from which
each load of refuse was collected.
The City was divided into four sections and subdivided into a total of 23
districts. Section I comprises the Sunset and Richmond west of a line through
Twin Peaks and the Golden Gate Park and Presidio entrances. Section II lies
north of a line through the Presidio entrance and the tops of Russian Hill, Nob
Hill and Rincon Hill. Section III lies east of Section I, south of Section II
and north of a line running along 21st Street from Twin Peaks to the bay.
Section IV lies east of Section I and south of Section III.
By a study of the record showing the districts in which each load was col-
lected, with the other information on the data sheets, the approximate weight
and volume of the ashes, garbage and rubbish collected in each district was
obtained.
Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 show the weight and volume of the refuse delivered
to the works each day during nineteen weeks, beginning October 11, 1908, and
ending February 20, 1909, from each of the four sections, and also the total
of these quantities for all sections combined.
The volume of ashes, garbage, and rubbish was estimated from the apparent
proportion contained in each load as nearly as could be judged by observation
when the load was dumped into the receiving bunkers of the incinerator.

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER
463
It will be noted that the unit weight of the refuse varies considerably in
ic different sections of the City, that from Sections I and IV being somewhat
?ater than that from Sections II and III.
Table 7 shows the average proportions and unit weight of the ashes, gar-
jge and rubbish in the refuse collected from the several sections of the City.
The unit weight of ashes and garbage was taken in each case at 41 Ibs. per
ibic foot, which was the value which appeared to be the closest approximation
the combined collection of refuse from all the sections. These figures, taken
connection with the average unit weight of the combined refuse from a section
the estimated composition by observation, gave a different unit weight for
)bish in each section, which was regarded as the most reasonable assumption
ice the unit weight of rubbish is more likely to vary in different sections of
City than the unit weight of ashes or garbage.
There may be slight errors in these values for the unit weights of the ashes,
garbage and rubbish composing the refuse since the proportions were determined
by observations that were necessarily approximate, but the average unit weight
of the total quantity of refuse collected in the different sections is probably a
close approximation.
The percentages by weight of ashes, garbage and rubbish composing the
refuse, depending as they do upon imperfectly estimated proportions, must be
taken only as the most reasonable approximations.

To find the proportions of combustible, incombustible and moisture in the
refuse, and also the chemical composition of the combustible, a considerable
number of samples of refuse were collected and prepared for experimental de-
terminations. There were two general methods followed in collecting these
samples.
First — It was desired to determine the nature of the various components
of the refuse, and;
Second — To get average values for the whole quantity collected during the
day.
In the first case a bucketful of about % of a cubic foot of the material when
homogeneous was taken, or the whole wagon load was dumped on the platform
and thoroughly mixed and then divided in halves and mixed again, and this
division and mixing continued until the quantity was reduced to about one
bucketful of about % of a cubic foot, which was taken as a representative
sample of the whole load.
In the second case a bucketful of refuse was collected at random from
various parts of each load just after it was dumped into the bunkers and thus
somewhat mixed. These bucketfuls were then thrown together in piles, two
piles for each section of the City from which the loads were collected. At the
<jnd of the day these piles were then mixed and divided until the quantity was
reduced to one bucketful of about % of a cubic foot, which was taken as a
representative sample of the refuse collected from the corresponding section of
the City during the day. These bucket samples were then dumped on a table
and chopped up and mixed and divided until the quantity was reduced to about
one quart of finely chopped material, which was put in a Mason fruit jar and
sealed to prevent the evaporation of moisture until the drying experiment was
made. The large pieces of incombustible material in the bucket samples, such
as metal, glass and stone, were thrown out, weighed and compared with the
original weight of the bucket sample, and this proportion was used as a cor-
rection in the final estimate of the composition of the refuse.
Most of the moisture was evaporated from the samples in a common sheet
iron baking oven over a coal oil stove. The quart samples were put in baking
tins and left in the oven until there was no reduction in weight for three suc-
cessive weighings. The temperature of the oven was kept at about 220° Fahren-
heit. Most of the samples were dry in about fifteen hours, and by this means
about 99.6% of the contained moisture was evaporated.
The samples were then again sealed up in the Mason fruit jars and sent
to the chemical laboratory of the University of California, where experiments
were made by Dr. Vaygouny, under the direction of Prof. Edmund O'Neil, to
determine the percentage of incombustible in the samples and the moisture
still remaining in them and also the proportion of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and
nitrogen in the combustible.
Table 11 shows the nature of the components of a number of samples taken
on various dates and divided into six groups. Those in each group were com-
bined at the laboratory in equal proportions to form six samples, to which were
jriveu the numbers 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.

After each of the six samples described in Table 11 was thoroughly mixed
portion was taken and dried in a laboratory oven. About \Vz% more of
oisture was expelled in this way. A portion was then burned in a bomb calori-
meter to determine the heating value, and an elementary analysis was made of
another portion to determine the combined carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitro-
n in the combustible.
Table 12 shows the percentages of combustible, incombustible and moisture,
and the heating value of the refuse represented by the six samples. The values
determined for the laboratory samples were corrected so that the tabulated values
represent the nature of the refuse as collected from the wagons.

On November 23d and 24th, 1908, samples were taken from each load of
refuse delivered to the incinerating plant and coming from that portion of the
City which has been described as Section II. These samples were mixed and
quartered and the resulting representative samples dried out in the oven as be-
fore described, and sent to the laboratory for further drying and also for the
determination of the incombustible contained in them and their heating value.
These values corrected to represent the nature of the refuse as collected, are
-shown in Table 14.

On December 7th, 10th, 17th, 29th, 1908, and January 23, 1909, samples
taken from each load of refuse collected from the entire City. The samples
Q from the loads collected from each of the four sections were made up
separately in order to determine the differences that might exist in the nature
of the refuse collected from different parts of the City. The values determined
from experiments made with these samples, and corrected to represent the nature
of the refuse as collected, are shown in Table 17.

472 BOAED OF PUBLIC WOEKS
HETCH HETCHY WATER SUPPLY.
REVIEW OF THE FACTS AND THE LAW.
Such strong and persistent interests are banded against the acquisition and
development of an independent source of water supply to be used either as a
reinforcing or as an independent source, that it is necessary to briefly review and
keep well in mind the actual facts and the law leading up to the selection and
granting of the Hetch Hetchy source.
The Act establishing the reservation subsequently known as the "Yosemite
National Park," was passed October 1, 1890. (See 26 S. at L. 651). This law
set aside about 1,500 square miles as a reservation on the west slope of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains. Section 2 of the Act being as follows:
"That such reservation shall be under the exclusive con-
trol of the Secretary of the Interior, whose duty it shall be,
as soon as practicable, to make and publish such rules and
regulations as he may deem necessary or proper for the care
and management of the same. Such regulations shall provide
for the preservation from injury of all timber, mineral de-
posits, natural curiosities, and wonders within said reserva-
tion, and their retention in their natural condition."
This law remained without modification until February 15, 1901. During
the latter portion of this interval several years were spent by the United States
Geological Survey investigating the water resources on the west slope of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains. That branch of the Government's work surveyed
quite a large number of reservoirs in this region, amongst others the Hetch
Hetchy reservoir; determined the general character of structure necessary to
utilize it, and made approximate estimates of its capacity. (21st annual report
U. S. G. S., part 4, pgs. 450-3).
When the facts and conditions developed by this survey were laid before
Congress that body enacted the following law:
''That the Secretary of the Interior be and hereby is
authorized and empowered, under general regulations to be
fixed by him to permit the use of rights of way through the
public lands, forests and other reservations of the United
States and the Yosemite, Sequoia, and General Grant National
Parks, California, for electrical plants, poles and lines for the
generation and distribution of electric power, and for tele-
graph and telephone purposes and for canals, ditches, pipes
and pipe lines, flumes, tunnels or other water conduits and for
water plants, dams and reservoirs used to promote irrigation,
or mining or quarrying, or the manufacture or cutting of
timber or lumber, or the supplying of water for domestic,
public or any other beneficial uses to the extent of the
ground occupied by such canals, ditches, flumes, tunnels,
reservoirs, or other water conduits, or water plants. The
electrical or other works permitted herein are not to exceed
50 feet on each side of the channel limits thereof or not to
exceed 50 feet on each side of the center lines of such pipes,
pipe lines, electrical, telegraph and telephone lines and poles,
by any citizen, association or corporation of the United States
where it is intended by such to exercise the use permitted
herein for any one or more of the purposes herein named."
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 473
(There then follow two provisions of no material interest
to the question now being considered.)
" * * * And provided further that any permission
given by the Secretary of the Interior under the provisions
of this Act may be revoked by him or his successor at his
discretion, and shall not be held to confer any right or ease-
ment or interest in, to or over any public land, reservation
or park." (31 Stat. of L., p. 790).
It is manifest that Congress intended this last quoted law to modify the
ibitory provisions of the previous law, setting aside the reservation, and after
ue study through its own agents to make it possible to file upon and develop
the great water resources arising in the various reservations, public lands and
parks named in the above quoted law.
During the years 1900 and 1901, or during the very period when this law
was being considered by Congress, the City Engineer and the Board of Public
Works of San Francisca were engaged in studying the various sources of water
supply possible and available for increasing the existing supply which
was known to be inadequate. After full consideration by the Engineers
thus engaged, it was determined that the Hetch Hetchy and Lake
Eleanor reservoirs and the areas tributary thereto afforded the purest, most
abundant and available supply. Filings were therefore made in October, 1901,
on these two reservoirs and upon water rights connected therewith. These
servoir filings were denied by the Secretary of the Interior. An appeal was
(ken from such decision, which appeal was decided adversely to the City on
December 22, 1903, the Secretary basing his rejection upon the fact that the
necessary expenditures had never been approved by a vote of the people of the
City, and that the grant was confronted by legal embarrassments, which appeared
to be surmountable only by the exercise of the legislative power of the Govern-
ment.
Upon this suggestion a bill was drafted and introduced into Congress at
the close of the 58th session, granting the rights along the lines suggested by the
Secretary. This bill was referred to the Committee on Public Lands and killed
in Committee. The undersigned in 1904-5 kept the matter before the President
by letter and personal appeal. Early in 1905 the President referred the matter
to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, Mr. Metcalf, who, on March 1, 1905,
rendered an opinion supporting the decision of the Honorable the Secretary of
the Interior. In June and July, 1905, the undersigned personally presented the
matter to the President, and appealed from both of these decisions. Thereupon,
the President requested that the appeal be placed in such shape that it could
be referred to the Attorney-General, which was immediately done, and that office
rendered a decision favorable to the City, and practically declaring that further
legislative action was unnecessary.
Secretary James R. Garfield, having succeeded to the portfolio of the Depart-
ment of the Interior, took the matter up, gave full hearings both in San Fran-
cisco and in Washington, and on May 11, 1908, restored San Francisco's appli-
cation to the calendar and rendered a favorable decision. (See report of Water
Supply of San Francisco, 1900-1908 inc.)
At no time prior to the date of this grant had it been possible to get the
matter in such form as to present it to the voters of the City. One of the con-
ditions of this grant required an expression of their opinion. Therefore the Board
of Supervisors, upon the favorable decision of Secretary Garfield, called a special
election to be held on the 12th of November, 1908, submitting these propositions
to the people. Such persistent misrepresentations were made with regard to the
terms of the grant and the amount of run-off from the areas tributary to the
reservoirs that it became necessary to reinforce the studies of the several City
Engineers who had been engaged upon this investigation. The Board of Public
474 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Works therefore authorized the City Engineer to secure the services of Mr.
Desmond Fitzgerald, Mem. Am. Soc. C. E. of Boston, Mass., and Prof. C. D.
Marx, Mem. Am. Soc. C. E., of Leland Stanford Jr. University, as Consulting
Engineers, to make a critical and exhaustive study of the question of rain fall
and run-off of these areas. The results of their studies are embodied in Ap-
pendix I.
The following reports were rendered by this office in this matter:
San Francisco, July 23, 1908.
To the Honorable, the Board of Public Works, of the City and County of San
Francisco.
Gentlemen: — Under Ordinance No. 492, approved June 23, 1908, I am
directed to file with your honorable Board plans and estimates for the original
construction of works for a water supply, the designated available sources being
Lake Eleanor, and Hetch-Hetchy Valley and the waters of Tuolumne River, in
Tuolumne County, California. It will be observed that these sources were
selected by this City in 1901 and rights thereto were filed upon October 15th of
that year. These applications were prosecuted to the granting of the rights at
Washington, May 11, 1908, by the Hon. James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary of
the Interior.
There are two essential conditions fixed in this grant which must be com-
plied with to make it of effect in giving this City the extremely valuable rights
designated therein, namely : stipulations Nos. 1 and 9. Under the first of these
conditions the City must perfect its acquisition of ownership, and under the
other condition, No. 9, the City authorities must submit to popular vote within
two years after the date of the grant, namely, May 11, 1908, the acceptance or
rejection thereof. The sooner this can be done the better, as it gives the electors
of this City an opportunity to say whether they want this source of water supply
or whether they prefer the existing condition with its risks, entanglements, end-
less litigations and annual rate fixing. If the people, desire to accept the source
now open to them, they are entitled to an opportunity to say so ; their action,
if affirmative, will afford the present administration time to perfect land pur-
chases and exchanges before March 4, 1909, when the United States officers
familiar with this subject will in part retire.
To carry out the first stipulation or condition of this grant, options were
obtained upon all patented lands in Hetch-Hetchy Valley and upon four other
tracts adjacent, for exchanges for lands in the reservoirs; and, an effort made
to close them by making the first payment of $10,000.00. This step was
thwarted by adverse action of the Auditor, whereupon this payment was met by
a popular loan to the City by high-minded citizens. The advantageous purchase
of lands in and adjacent to these reservoirs named in the grant was thnvby
kept possible for a time under the terms of the options now held but forfeitable
unless the later payments named therein be made. These aggregate $165,800.00,
which, with interest, fees, etc., may reach $185,000.00.
One of the conditions essential to fulfilling this option is the payment not
later than 90 days, after an election early in November or by February 1, 1909,
of $50,000.00 upon the purchase price. (See options and agreements in the
hands of His Honor, the Mayor). The present status, therefore, of this vital
matter is as follows:
Tin- most abundant, available and purest source has been selected and its
acquisition now depends upon the carrying out of the certain conditions above
n \iew.Ml. These conditions, considering the value of the acquisition, are ex-
tremely simple and require less expenditure to complete than has ever been nec-
etsarj for the acquisition of an adequate source of water supply for any com-
munity of the size of San Francisco. Whatever may be the outcome of the
controversies over the rates and purchase of the existing supply, the
I REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 475
ificent sources now available should be secured; and no effort nor step
d be delayed to make this an accomplished fact,
tn every effort to secure a municipal water supply since 1871, the City has
been shunted off the course in one way or another. In the attempt of 1875-6
the direct purchase of the source under consideration by the City was resorted
to: in 1900 the objection was made that the Charter had not been technically
followed; in 1903 the purposes of the City were thwarted by representations
forestalling the presentation of the City's application; and, by the inauguration
of an apparently interminable law suit over a side issue. From 1904 to 1908,
and despite official abandonment by resolution of the Board of Supervisors in
1906, the claim of the City was kept alive by individual and unofficial effort.
In 1908, it was not found possible to 'thwart the case of the City in Washington,
but an ''offer of sale" was made along a line palpably impossible under the
Charter; and, when the direct steps were taken looking to the solicitation of
on offer of sale on the prescribed line of the Charter, this "offer of sale'1 was
withdrawn and another digressive law suit pushed to the front in the shape of
an injunction. What further obstacle will be raised to prevent action by the
people of this City on this vital question remains to be developed.
These facts are recalled here in order to emphasize the necessity of holding
to a persistent and coherent policy so that the efforts to secure an adequate
supply, which have been in progress since 1900, may not be artfully turned into
irrelevant and abortive lines. The great public interests and intents should not
diverted from the proper course, namely, the acquisition of an adequate source
be used either as a re-enforcing or as an independent supply ; the former if
sonable purchase can be made of existing works, the latter if unreasonable
exorbitant demands be insisted upon.
There is, therefore, submitted the following progress report upon the matter
referred to me by your letter forwarding Ordinance No. 492 of June 23, 1908,
directing the submission of plans and estimates of cost of the acquisition of a
water supply.
The first essential step in carrying out this ordinance is the acquisition of
the available sources designated therein and made possible by the grant of May
11, 1908. It will be observed that a considerable portion of the cost of this
acquisition can, under Section 5, Article XII, of the Charter, be paid from the
annual revenues of the City. It would be manifestly unreasonable to subject
the City to the burden of a bonded debt to meet an expense, much of which can
be met as above indicated. I, therefore, recommend, (1) that the Board of
Supervisors be requested to declare the acquisition of lands for reservoir pur-
poses a public utility and to proceed to acquire the same by purchase and con-
tract therefor; (2) that in order to carry out the provisions of the ordinance and
acquire the properties and rights essential thereto, that a bonded indebtedness
of $750,000.00 be incurred for the acquisition by purchase or condemnation of
lands in and adjacent to Lake Eleanor reservoir and such rights of way for
reservoirs, flumes, canals, etc., as are necessary to carry out the first require-
ments contemplated under the ordinance and as herein designated.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RESERVOIRS AND THE DRAINAGE AREAS TRIBU-
TARY THERETO.
L&ke Eleanor is situated 136 miles east of San Francisco on the west slope
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is about 300 acres in extent and lies in a
broad, flat valley enclosed by precipitous walls of granite, narrowing at the
lower end of the valley. It is 4,700 feet above sea level and receives the direct
drainage from 83 square miles and by a diverting canal 6 miles long from 103
square miles additional of uninhabitable mountain slopes, which reach an alti-
tude of 11,000 feet, and receive a mean annual precipitation of from 40 to 50
47(5 HOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
inches, most of which is snow. These areas are more than four and one-half
(4%) times that tributary to the peninsula system of reservoirs, which latter
area received a mean annual rainfall of from 35 to 50 inches. It is not now nec-
essary to discuss the relative periods of deficiency in precipitation which recur
from time to time in each area.
The capacity of the Lake Eleanor Reservoir is as follows:
Height of Dam. Capacity of Reservoir.
130 feet 6,282 Million Gallons
150 feet 13,108 Million Gallons
175 feet -25,000 Million Gallons
200 feet 39,000 Million Gallons
Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is about 140 miles from San Francisco on the main
fork of the Tuolumne River, and is about 3,700 feet above sea level. It receives
the drainage from 452 square miles of the uninhabitable slopes of the Sierra
Nevada, reaching to an elevation of over 13,000 feet and receiving a mean annual
precipitation of from 40 to 50 inches, nearly all in snow. This area is 148 square
miles less than that tributary to Sunol Dam, but this latter area receives a mean
annual rainfall of from 15 to 30 inches, subject to periods of great variation,
supports populous and growing towns and quite a well distributed and increasing
agricultural and pastoral population. These comparisons with areas with which
you are familiar are made to convey a clear conception of the drainage area
and conditions in the Sierra with which equal familiarity is impossible to many.
The capacity of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is as follows:
Height of Dam.
100 feet 16,213 Million Gallons
150 feet 33,071 Million Gallons
200 feet 48,600 Million Gallons
250 feet 66,000 Million Gallons
A dam at this site 250 feet high is well within the possibilities of the site;
and, at this height, will hold two and one-half times the combined capacities of
all the peninsula reservoirs. The new croton reservoir for New York holds
31,000 million gallons, or less than one-half the Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir at its
reasonable development.
Moreover, for from five to six months each year the flood discharge of
Tuolumne River is available for use without drawing on the two reservoirs above
named. Including Lake Eleanor Reservoir at its maximum capacity, the com-
bined storage is more than five and a half times that of the combined peninsula
reservoirs. These comparisons afford a better conception of the water resources
which it is now possible to secure for this City by prompt and effective action.
No adequate comparison of the ultimate purity of these sources with that n<>\v
in use is possible, nor indeed necessary.
The water liberated from Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy Reservoirs will
flow along the almost inaccessible gorges of Tuolumne River and Cherry Creek,
about Ki miles to a point in the Tuolumne gorge about 130 miles distant from
San Francisco in air line, and by the canals and conduits planned in 1901, 1>-
miles. this can be shortened by about 5 l/z miles.
Two power and one pumping stations are located on this line, also four
• •i|ii;iliy.in^ reservoirs, as indicated on the plan submitted herewith. The sites for
these were tentatively selected in 1901; but it may be possible to change these
to alternative locations and the alignment of the conduits may be slightly cor-
rected.
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 477
There are submitted herewith:
(1) A general plan of the region from the summit of the
Sierras to San Francisco, on which are indicated the drainage,
areas, reservoirs, route traversed, and the main features of
the problem.
This plan is entitled: Map of the region between San
Francisco and the Summit of the Sierras, showing the factors
of the Tuolumne source of water supply July 24th, 1908.
(2) A plan of Lake Eleanor Reservoir.
(3) A plan of Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir.
(Nos. 2 and 3 are reproduced from the survey of 1901).
(4) A plat of lands held under options.
The reports and estimates of my predecessor, Mr. Grunsky, called for $918,-
)0.00 to be expended for lands, litigation, water rights, and rights of way out-
le San Francisco. It is not now necessary to provide for the expenditure of
is amount for the following reasons: (1) The results of pending proceedings
eliciting offers of sale of the existing supply cannot be foreseen. (2) A portion
the required property can be acquired by purchase from funds available from
10 annual revenues.
I estimate that in addition to these funds, a bond issue of $750,000.00
mid be made available to be sold in amounts of not less than $100,000.00, as
lired for the purchase or condemnation of lands, rights of way for reservoirs,
inls. power stations, etc., etc., as follows:
:STIMATE OF COSTS OF RIGHTS AND LANDS NOW NECESSARY TO
ACQUIRE FOR A SIERRA WATER SUPPLY.
For purchase of lands in and adjacent to Hetch-
Hetchy Reservoir $165,800.00
Contingencies, fees, etc 19,200.00
For purchase or condemnation of lands for rights
of way for canals, power and pumping sta-
tions, reservoirs, Lake Eleanor lands, etc 465,000.00
Contingencies, fees, etc 100,000.00
$750,000.00
I, therefore, recommend that a bond issue for the above amount, namely,
$750.000.00, be submitted to popular vote in November next. This will carry out
stipulation No. 9 of the grant; and, if approved by popular vote, will make
available the means to systematically meet the other condition of the grant and
acquire for this City the rights necessary for the ultimate development of a
water supply of unparalleled abundance and purity.
In order that the steps herein outlined might be taken in accordance with
the Charter, I addressed an enquiry to the City Attorney on the 9th inst., re-
questing him to outline the legal steps which are necessary to take and secure
the rights to these reservoir lands. His reply is submitted herewith.
In conformity with this opinion, I further recommend that, as the prelimi-
nary ordinance mentioned under I. of the City Attorney's letter has been passed.
(Ordinance No. 492, under which these actions are taken). This progress report
carries out the second step insofar as it relates to the acquisition of the reservoir
rights, etc. As soon as the provisions of the Charter admit, an ordinance calling
a special election, at which to submit to the electors the proposition of incurring
-i bonded indebtedness of $750,000.00, should be prepared and advanced to
478 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
effect in order that the people of this City may have an opportunity of expressing
their approval or disapproval of acquiring a Sierra source of domestic water
supply of the rarest purity and abundance ; and which has been selected by
Engineers thoroughly familiar with the available sources and made possible of
acceptance through the broad and generous policy of the National Government
in the grant of May 11, 1908; when ownership to these valuable rights shall
have been thus perfected they can be made the basis of a bond issue for their
development and utilization. Respectfully submitted,
MARSDEN MAXSON, City Engineer.
/
San Francisco, Sept. 14, 1908.
To the Honorable, the Board of Public Works, of the City and County of Sail
Francisco.
Gentlemen : — Under the authority of and in compliance with Ordinance No.
492, N. S., approved June 23, 1908, I submit herewith plans and estimates for
the original construction of works for a water supply for the City and County
of San Francisco, the designated available sources being Lake Eleanor and
Hetch-Hetchy Reservoirs and the waters of the Tuolumne River, Tuolumne
County, California.
It will be noted:
(1) That these sources were filed upon October 15, 1901, and these filings
continuously prosecuted to the granting of reservoir rights of way by the Hon.
James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary of the Interior at Washington, on May 11,
1908. The securing of these rights are conditioned upon the expression of their
acceptance by popular vote; and upon the exchange of lands, upon which options
are held in the interest of the City, for the public lands in the reservoir areas.
Since the date above named work has been continued in securing lands,
surveys of the same, and in necessary office studies, etc.
(2) Also, that in the year following the filings above named, very carefully
prepared plans and estimates for the development of these sources were made.
These plans and estimates showed the cost of utilizing these sources either as an
independent or as a re-enforcing supply. For supposed reasons of economy the
plans and estimates made in 1900-2 were not fully published and widely dis-
tributed at the time as they should have been. Hence the public has been misled
through ignorance or design into the idea that no complete study of the problem
of water supply was made. The facts are that several years' time of the En-
gineers then on the Board of Public Works, of City Engineer Grunsky, reinforced
by the advantages of the advice and counsel of Consulting Engineer Desmond
Fitzgerald, were devoted to the problem. Field and office parties were kept for
nearly a year at work at a cost of $40,000, and a very complete set of plans and
estimates were made. The results of this work, through a misguided spirit of
economy, have not been properly laid before the public. Hence it has been dif-
ficult to meet statements ignorantly. or purposely put forth against the proposi-
tions then recommended.
For these portions of the Avorks which lie beyond the City limits, no in
changes in these plans and estimates are necessary to fit them to present condi-
tions ; iron and cement, the two materials of largest cost, have cheapened some-
what, while labor, the other large factor, has increased, the changes about offset-
ting one another in the ultimate cost of the works. Under the conditions imposed
by the Government in making the grant of reservoir rights of way, Lake Eleanor
Reservoir must be first developed. This condition necessitates the only change
in the estimates of these portions of the works which lie beyond the City limits.
No other change is necessary, for the head works in the Canon of Tuolumne
River are common to both reservoirs and are reached by gravity along th»- u
in which their waters naturally flow.

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 479
As will be noted in detail later on, four very important factors affecting the
cost of the City Distribution System have entered the problem since 1902. These
are :
(1) The construction of 92 miles of high pressure fire protection mains will
aterially decrease the size and cost of mains for domestic and industrial supply
the districts covered by the Auxiliary Fire Protection System now under way.
(2) Developments since April 1906 have made it necessary to extend the
distribution system over much larger areas than in 1902, some of which areas are
inadequately supplied, and the development of others being restricted by lack of
a supply.
(3) It is also essential to provide more numerous and larger service reser-
voirs than was then considered necessary. •
(4) There has been a marked demand for extensions to and an increased
consumption of water in the high, level districts.
These conditions and the changes in the plans and estimates which they
necessitate will be considered later.
SOURCES.
It becomes necessary at this point to recall and express an opinion upon the
general questions of the sources and their availability, the grants thereto and
the alleged probability of the contamination of the water originating thereon and
be conducted to this City.
Tuolumne River above La Grange dam, at the edge of the foothills, drains
ibout 1.501 square miles of the west slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. See
lap accompanying this report entitled:
MAP of the REGION BETWEEN SAN FRANCISCO and
the SUMMIT of the SIERRAS, showing the FACTORS of the
TUOLUMNE SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY, July 24, 1908.
This drainage area lies nearly due east of San Francisco; a due east and
west line from this City passes through the drainage basin of Merced River and
through the southeasterly part of that of Tuolumne River, leaving the main por-
tion thereof north of this line.
This drainage basin of Tuolumne River is naturally divided into six sub-
basins, two of which reach the summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains; namely,
the main Tuolumne drainage basin and Cherry Creek; Eleanor Creek, a tributary
of the latter, reaches to within a few miles of the summit.
The other sub-basins drain regions which lie on the lower slopes of the
mountains and do not reach the summit and enter the main stream some twenty
miles below Hetch-Hetchy Valley and below the diverting dam horeinafter men-
tioned.
RESERVOIRS.
Quite a large number of glacial lakes and valleys lie in the drainage basin of
the Tuolumne River, nearly all of which are suitable for the storage of waste
flood waters. The largest of these, Hetch-Hetchy Valley, lies N. 85%° E, and
about 140 miles from San Francisco, on the main fork of the river, and has
about 452 square miles of mountain slopes tributary thereto. The elevation of
this tributary area, except the valley itself and the bottoms of the converging
gorges, which are about 3,700 feet above tide, is between one and two and a
half miles above sea level, and its summit line or eastern border fronts for fifty-
three miles along the crest of the Sierras from Mt. Lyell northward. This crest
has a mean elevation of about 11,500 feet, or over two miles above sea level.
480 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
At the lower end of Hetch-Hetchy Valley is a granite gorge having a mean
width, at the surface of low water, of about 65 feet, the sides of which rise pre-
cipitously for 800 or more feet. The valley is about 5% miles long and over one-
half mile in width; its walls are so steep as to be practically impassable, except
at three points occupied by steep rough trails.
This reservoir will hold about the following volumes at successive heights:
Height. Million Gallons.
100 feet 16,213
150 feet 33,071
200 feet 48,600
250 feet.... - 66,000
LAKE ELEANOR.
Lake Eleanor is situated near the lower end of the creek of the same name
and is some four miles northwest of Hetch-Hetchy. The tributary drainage area
is about 84 square miles, rising from the lake surface at 4,700 feet to over two
miles above sea level.
Two adjacent drainage basins can be made partially tributary to this reser-
voir, namely Cherry Creek with 103 square miles, and Falls Creek with 37.5
square miles of similar territory.
The lake is about 400 acres in area and is fed by Kibby, Eleanor and Frog
Creeks.* The lower end of the lake is bordered by a gravelly flat resting on
granite bedrock, which, about a mile and a quarter below the lake, closes into
a granite walled gorge and offers an excellent site and material for a dam. This
dam can be economically raised to a height of 200 feet.
At successive heights it will impound the following volumes of water:
Height. Million Gallons.
130 feet 6,282
150 feet 13,106
175 feet : 25,000
200 feet 39,000
The two reservoirs, when developed to the limits above indicated, will fur-
nish over 290,000,000 gallons per day for 365 days; and, considering the fact
the storage waters will be drawn upon -for only about 210 days each year, this
supply will furnish nearly 500,000,000 gallons per day. Combined with a
moderate development of existing nearby supplies, these sources will meet any
demand which can now be reasonably foreseen or predicted.
RUX-'OFF AND THE PURITY AND SANITARY CONDITION OF THE TRIBU-
TARY AREAS.
The areas tributary to these reservoirs are subjected to such severe winter
conditions that they are uninhabitable; they are moreover within the boundari--
of the Yosemite National Park; so that at no time in the future can conditions
arise tending to impair the purity of water flowing therefrom, which cannot be
rigidly controlled.
The run-off from these areas has never been continuously gauged for a
season. But from a comparison of the gauging at La Grange dam by the United
States Reclamation Service, and studies since 1903, it is manifest that the run-off
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 481
)m the tributary area is sufficient to more than fill Hetch-Hetchy reservoir with
i (Jam at its maximum height during the dryest season which has occurred since
iccurate gaugings at La Grange were established; and, that by diverting a portion
of the run-off from Cherry Creek, Lake Eleanor Reservoir would have been sim-
ilarly filled. The estimates of run-off by Mr. Grunsky in 1901-3 in the light of
more recent data and studies are certainly ultraconservative, both as to precipita-
tion and run-off. (See pp. 222-223, Reports of Board of Public Works, 1901-2
and 1902-3.)
Considering, therefore, that the run-off is ample to fill the reservoirs during
dry years and that once put in use some water will naturally be held over, dis-
cussions of the details of actual precipitation and run-off must await the result
of future observations and measurements.
It will, therefore, be observed that the run-off from the available areas is
more than sufficient to fill the reservoirs during the dryest year of which there
is any definite record, but that it is desirable to more accurately gauge the rate
of run-off and the precipitation.
During about five months each year, between December and July, the dis-
charge of Tuolumne River is more than sufficient to meet all industrial uses; it
will consequently not be necessary to draw on the stored waters except when
the natural discharge of the river falls below these demands, when the stored
water will be liberated from the reservoirs in such quantities as may be necessary.
GENERAL ROUTE OF CONDUITS TO SAN FRANCISCO.
The liberated water of Lake Eleanor or of Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir will flow
along natural channels or gorges to a point about two miles below the junction
of the stream; at this site it is proposed to build a diverting dam, situated about
128 miles nearly due east from San Francisco. This dam will turn and control
the flow through gates into a canal cut into the south side of the canon, tunneled
through its spurs and carried across its side gorges; drainage from the canon
walls above the canal will be intercepted by ditches and conducted under or over
this canal. The length of this canal will be about twenty-nine miles and its
capacity 250 second feet. It has been intimated that its flow wrill be subject to
contamination, but there is less danger of pollution in this canal than in the
natural gorges in which the water now flows without becoming in any way con-
taminated, as this canal can be protected in case necessity shall arise, as is
usually done elsewhere and in the existing waterworks now supplying the City
and as is recommended for Los Angeles by L. P. Stearnsmand and Jas. D. Schuyler,
Consulting Engineers. It is, however, possible that at some remote time in the
future the waters of Cherry Creek, being collected beyond the limits of the Yo-
semite National Park, may become undesirable. In which event Lake Eleanor
waters can be diverted on the left bank of Eleanor Creek, carried in a separate
canal along the canon wall and delivered without joining Cherry Creek drainage
into Tuolumne River at a point above the mouth of Cherry Creek. In this event
the diverting dam can be placed just above the junction of Cherry Creek with
Tuolumne River, and Eleanor Creek waters used for power as they fall into the
headgates of the diverting canal.
At the lower end of the diverting canal there is to be constructed a power
station, designated Bear Gulch Power Station. At this station a fall of 766 feet
is available; power to the extent of 12,000 horsepower can here be generated.
The water from the wheels of this power station will immediately pass into the
headworks of another conduit consisting of pipes, tunnels and canals having an
aggregate length of 14.56 miles to a second power station on Dry Creek, distant
102 miles due east of San Francisco. At this station 330 feet of fall is available
and 4,500 H. P. may be generated.
4S2 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
The water discharged from this power station is at an elevation of about
580 feet above tide and will here be delivered into tailrace-controlling reservoirs :
thence into two 48-inch wrought-iron mains, which will cross San Joaquin Valley
and deliver this water into Altamont pumping station. These pipes are 60.5
miles long and are to deliver 60,000,000 gallons per 24 hours.
ALTAMONT PUMPING STATION.
This station is to be equipped with receiving reservoir, electrically driven
pumps operated by power transmitted from Bear Gulch and Dry Creek Power
Stations, auxiliary steam plant, for emergency use, and delivery pipes into a
pressure reservoir about % mile west of Altamont and at an elevation of 7-VJ
feet above sea level. This station and equipment is planned in masonry, steel
and iron, and will be kept in continual use.
From the Altamont Reservoir the water is to flow by gravity through two
wrought-iron pipes 48 inches in diameter and passing around the head of the
bay near Alviso to service reservoirs on either side of Mission Road near Amazon
Street, a distance of 70.1 miles. On this line a saving of some 5% miles may be
made by crossing at Dumbarton Point. This will also reduce the distance on
which the pipes lie on marsh lands, which experience demonstrates should be
avoided as far as possible.
It is observed that under the conditions above named no contamination of
the waters from this source can occur if the ordinary and reasonable precautions
be taken, whenever occasion therefor shall arise. Under existing conditions
ordinary fences will be ample. (1) The waters are collected from uninhabitable
areas within the limits of Yosemite National Park and adjacent Forest reserve;
the surface of which is composed of rocks and soils of least solubility.
The water is therefore initially pure and soft. These areas are inaccessible for
the greater portion of the year and are entirely within the Yosemite National
Park and are not visited by the great body of campers and tourists which visit
Yosemite Valley and the Big Tree groves. These great attractions lie in other
drainage basins and attract by far the greater portion of the travel.
(2) These waters are to be stored in granite-bound reservoirs of unsurpassed
conditions of isolation and natural cleanliness.
(3) They flow either along almost inaccessible mountain gorges or along and
through canals and conduits easily guarded and protected by known means always
resorted to whenever necessary. It is manifest, therefore, that at no time in the
future can the sources of water supply herein considered become contaminated
nor pass beyond the reasonable control which will preserve their purity from the
snow fields of the Sierras to the faucets of the home.
RESUME OF WORKS OUTSIDE THE CITY.
Works outside the City limits are therefore:
1. Storage reservoirs at Lake Eleanor and Hetch-Hetchy Valley. (The
first of these sites being now estimated upon as per agreement with the Hon. the
Secretary of the Interior). Gauging wires above and below reservoir. Qu
for employees, etc.
2. Diverting dam and canal 29 miles long to Bear Gulch Power Station
with equipment of gates, etc., and quarters for employees.
3. Bear Gulch Power Station with forebay reservoir pressure pipes, gener-
ators, tail race reservoir, mechanical equipment complete for generating 12,000
H. P., quarters for employees, etc.
4. Conduits from Bear Gulch Power Station to Dry Creek Power Station.
14.56 miles long, complete, with canal pipes, tunnels, gates, quarters for em-
ployees, etc.
» REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 4S3
5. Dry Creek Power Station with forebay reservoir, pressure pipes, gen-
itors, tail race, reservoir, mechanical equipment complete for generating 4,500
P., quarters, etc.
6. Pole line and copper conductors for power and telephone lines 145 miles.
7. Double 48-inch wrought-iron pipes 60.5 miles long across San Joaquin
• Valley, accessories, quarters for employees, etc.
8. Altamont Pumping Station complete, reservoir, electric and steam driven
pumping plants, housing for plant, stores, mechanical equipment, fuel, etc., quar-
ters for employees, pressure pipes, etc.
9. Equalizing pressure reservoir at Altamont and double 48-inch wrought-
iron pipes, tunnels, etc., to service reservoirs in San Francisco. Capacity 60,000,-
000 gallons daily.
For the reason before given, it is not considered necessary at this time for
the purposes of this report to make any material change in the plans and esti-
mates, for those portions of the works which lie outside the limits of the City
and which were worked out in 1901-2 by City Engineer Grunsky, and the descrip-
tiosn of which were in part published in the Reports of the Board of Public
Works for 1901-2 and 1902-3, page 248.
From this report the following recommendation of the Board of Public
Works is quoted and renewed:
''In 1900, at the beginning of the studies directed by the Charter as to the
uisition of public necessities and utilities, the water supply very properly
cupied the first place and received the most attention and study. The results
these studies have not yet been laid before the citizens in full published form,
that they are in a large measure ignorant of the very carefully worked out
ans for meeting this most pressing necessity of the City. This vital matter
s in some way been allowed to fall in the rear, and does not appear at all in
e list of projects to be submitted to the voters. Water supply so far outranks
11 other matters, both in importance and cost, that they could well be allowed
rest until the water question has been settled.''
On this work a large portion of two years was spent costing about $40,000.00
d employing eight assistant engineers and draughtsmen with the necessary
mplement of field assistants. Of this work the report of the Board of Public
orks says:
"The volume of work done by the Bureau of Engineering was large and im-
portant. The most important was the completion of the report upon a municipal
water supply, submitted in August, 1902, giving in full plans and estimates of
cost of supplying the City abundant and pure water from a source impossible of
contamination. The cost of these works, if constructed as an independent system,
is estimated at $40,000,000.00, but if developed only to reinforce existing sup-
plies, will cost about $18,000,000.00."
Submitted Avith this report were 36 sheets of drawings, giving in detail a
succinct outline of the Tuolumne project, the source, reservoirs, alignments and
nature of conduits and works, and a careful and accurate estimate of the cost
of the entire project, developed either as an independent source of supply or as
an auxiliary supply to the present source. It is to be regretted that these plans
and the accompanying report have never been published in full, as they would
then afford the public a far clearer knowledge of what has been done at its
expense and for its benefit than most of the citizens have any idea.
(For additional data and details of the above described works see pages

In case the Spring Valley properties shall be acquired, it will be
to make use of all of the existing sources except Lake Merced, which should be
kept for use only in the remote event of some dire emergency.
The necessity of introducing and safeguarding a large supply from the
Tuolumne source, with double lines of pipes, etc., can then be avoided, for the
reinforcement of the local supplies will then Jbe assured from the Tuolumne source.
Any deficiency from the peninsula supply due to a dry season will, under
these conditions, be met with at least 20,000 million gallons on hand, which,
with a daily consumption of 45,000,000 gallons, will last for over 400 days, and
before the end of that time restorations to any extent can be made and delivery
and storage from the Tuolumne source restored.
By thus using this source as a reinforcing supply a reduction of $11,059,550
is possible, which, increased by 10';. amounts to about $12,165,500. This saving
is accomplished principally by limiting pipe lines, siphons, and pressure pipes
to single instead of double lines, and by corresponding reductions in the median-
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 487
ical equipment at Dry Creek Power Station, Altamont and Belmont Pumping
Stations, and by the omission of Belmont Reservoir.
All canals, tunnels, forebay, tailrace and pressure reservoirs and all other
items in the previously named estimate of $31,603,330, remain the same and are
designed for 60,000,000 gallons daily. This leaves the cost of introducing the
Tuolumne source simply as a reinforcing supply at about $19,437,800, and in-
sures a supply of at least 45,000,000 gallons per day, and will require expendi-
tures to meet much needed extensions and betterments in the existing supply.
This estimate accepts the contingency that interruptions in the Sierra supply
of several months' duration might possibly occur from one of several causes, in
which event it will be noted that the peninsula reservoirs would, under any
circumstances and at any time of year, have on storage from 15,000 to 20,000
million gallons: at a consumption of 45,000,000 gallons per day, nearly a year's
supply would be on hand for use during any interruption of the supply from the
Tuolumne source.
To this must be added the cost of acquiring the Spring Valley source and
of making certain increases in its supply and extensions and betterments to its
service and distributing system.
PURCHASE AND INTRODUCTION OF AN AUXILIARY SUPPLY.
The estimates above outlined anticipate our necessities and does not meet
pressing and immediate requirements. Should the Spring Valley supply be
acquired it will be necessary to increase the supply at once, and to add better-
ments and extensions before the Sierra source can be introduced. This state-
lent emphasizes the gravity of the situation. This can be made at an expendi-
ture of not to exceed $1,500,000 and this office is prepared to present the steps
for this work when required. There, however, remains the necessity of securing
the reservoirs now available through the grant of May 11, 1908.
The acquisition of these highly valuable rights are contingent upon the per-
formance of certain stipulations which will cost in the next two years not to
exceed $750,000 and in the succeeding eight (8) years not to exceed one-half this
sum, upon which investment a reasonable interest may be derived. This ex-
penditure will give this City an asset of incalculable value in the shape of an
incomparable source of water supply which can be developed to such extents and
at such times ;is may become necessary. The ownership of these rights will add
many fold their cost to the properties and industries of this City and stabilize the
values of all classes of property.
In a separate report of date July 23, 1908, this office has reported upon and
recommended the steps necessary to accomplish this desirable result. Prompt
action on this report is urgently recommended.
ESTIMATES OF THE COST OF SERVICE RESERVOIRS WITHIN THE CITY
LIMITS AND OF AN ENTIRELY NEW DISTRIBUTING SYSTEM.
It remains to present plans and estimates of the cost of an entirely new
system of service reservoirs and distributing mains for the City. These consti-
tute the works inside the City limits; and which, for the following reasons, are
essentially modified from the plans and estimates submitted in 1902-3 :
1. The provision of an Auxiliary high pressure water supply for fire pro-
tection, which requires about 92 miles of large mains, two fire boats of the high-
est efficiency, and 100 additional fire cisterns, these materially reduce the size
and cost of the mains for domestic and industrial water supply within the dis-
tricts covered by this auxiliary supply.
2. Developments and extensions of the built-up areas demand the exten-
sions of mains into districts not covered in the plans of 1902-3.
488 BOABD OF PUBLIC WORKS
3. Experience has demonstrated that it is desirable to have larger and
more numerous service reservoirs than were formerly designed, thus increasing
the volume of water available within the City limits.
4. There has been an increase in the areas and demands of water in the
higher levels which have not been met by the corporation now supplying the
City, and which the City must meet if it takes up the work of municipal water
supply.
To make these changes the entire problem of service reservoirs and mains
have been recast.
These estimates for this distributing and service system are based upon
a population of 735,000, a per capita daily consumption of 100 gallons, and cover
15,450 acres. This is 5,770 acres, or 60% greater area, than was considered
necessary in 1902-3, in the estimate of City Engineer Grunsky. This increase
in area is now considered necessary, as it embraces areas the development of
which is retarded for lack of water and other areas the development of which
is estopped by an insufficiency. These additions will enhance property
values and gradually develop a corresponding increase in revenue. The aggre-
gate service reservoir capacity is raised to 366,800,000 gallons, which is a 5
days' supply for a population of 735,000, at the above named rate of consump-
tion. The service reservoirs are so connected that any level may be reinforced
as demand may be made. It will be observed that the storage in the City limits
is four (4) times the capacity of the existing service reservoirs.
The existing supply is admittedly just sufficient for the present population.
The service is inadequate in some districts and entirely wanting in others. It,
therefore, barely meets the demands of about 350,000 inhabitants. The above
estimate of cost covers a far larger area, and will serve abundantly and satis-
factorily more than double the existing population and can be 'brought into
service as demands shall arise.
RECEIVING AND SERVICE RESERVOIRS.
Water from the main supply will be received in two reservoirs near the
intersection of Mission and Amazon Streets, having a combined capacity of 203,-
000,000 gallons, and estimated to cost $1,028,800. From there it will be sup-
plied both by gravity and pumping station through 38 miles of main and force
pipes to 21 service reservoirs in the five different levels into which the area to
be supplied is divided.
These service reservoirs hold from 1.1 to 3.68 days' supply for the districts
which they serve; and, combined with the water stored in the main service
reservoirs, will hold about 5 days' supply for 735,000 inhabitants at a daily
per capita consumption of 100 gallons, and are estimated to cost $1,585,200.
The total cost of service reservoirs will thus be $2,614,000, which includes cost
of real estate where reservoirs are not located on City property.
PUMPING PLANT.
To serve the levels above the reach of the main service reservoirs two pump-
ing stations are required. These stations are estimated to have an aggregate
daily capacity of 41,000,000 gallons, with a reserve capacity of 50 per cent.
Complete they are estimated to cost $606,500.
DISTRIBUTING MAINS AND LATERALS.
To fully cover the 15,450 acres now estimated upon will call for 38 miles
of main and force pipes and 605 miles of distribution pipes of 643 miles, esti-
mated to cost $7,292,880.

Recapitulation of cost of an entire new system of service reservoirs, pump-
ing stations and distributing pipe system having a capacity of serving 15,450
acres and a population of 735,000 at a per capita daily consumption of 100 gal-
lons. This system will more than double the capacity of the existing system and
will have five times the volume of water stored within the City limits.
Reviewing the various costs of the Tuolumne project, it is observed that
to introduce this supply to the extent of 60,000,000 gallons daily develop suffi-
cient power to do all pumping necessary for this supply and have a considerable
reserve for other municipal uses, construct an entirely new system of receiving
and service reservoirs, pumping stations and distributing system, with a capacity
to abundantly serve double our present population, will cost as follows:
I
60,000,000 gallons 31,603,330
Distributing system complete 12,170,820
Total 43,774,150
The rapid development of certain districts since the fire, the natural growth
of other districts and the demand for covering districts not now supplied, or in-
adequately supplied, have all combined to call for an estimate for a distributing
system larger than that estimated upon in 1902-3.
Xot being able to predicate the rate of increase nor the exact loci of this
increase, it has been considered best to make the distributing system of some-
what greater capacity than the main supply. This latter can be raised when
requirements demand.
The following comparisons will give an idea of the increases:
Areas, capacities and costs now con- Areas, capacities and costs estimated
sidered necessary: upon in 1902-3:
Area, 15,450 acres. 9,680; increase, 60%.

gallons.
Length of pipe, 643 miles. 455 miles; increase, 41%.
Cost per acre, $788. $910; decrease, 13%.
Cost per mile of pipe, $18,950. $19,340.
These decreases are principally due to the smaller pipe required in the
districts covered by the auxiliary water supply system for fire protection.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE TUOLUMNE SOURCE AS AN AUXILIARY SUPPLY
No adequate comparison can be made with the' existing system either as
regards purity and abundance in every part of the City.
It is, however, necessary to consider the cost of acquiring the existing
system if a reasonable price can be agreed upon, as a sound business policy
required; then the cost of extensions and betterments of this source as irnme-
-190 BOAED OF PUBLIC WORKS
diate requirements demand, and to introduce a reinforcing supply from the
Tuolumne source.
Accepting Captain Payson's offer, with a reduction of $2,000,000 for prop-
erties not required by the City as a basis for this estimate only, we have cost
of acquiring the Spring Valley sources and supply _ $30,000,000
Betterments and extensions now imperatively needed 1,500,000
Introduction of 30,000,000 gallons daily from Tuolumne source 19,686,660
Total $51,186,660
The cost of operating either system is about the same, but the cost of
repairs and extensions will be much greater upon the acquisition of the older
works.
There will be a material saving to the City in the acquisition of the exist-
ing- system, as the high salaries, litigations, cost of experts, printing elaborate
reports, etc., etc., now incurred represents an invested capital of at least $1,-
500,000 at 5%. The city pays all expenses incurred in these salaries and litiga-
tions by both the company and itself, a condition not generally known and con-
sidered.
This report and the one preceding it are intended to place before this com-
munity the most important and vital matter which can confront the people of
any city. Upon a proper solution of this problem of a pure and adequate water
supply rests the health of well-being of its home, and the development, stability
and protection of its properties and industries. It is necessary to advance now
on clean cut lines and in order to give the widest opportunity for a full consid-
eration, it is recommended that the full report of City Engineer Grunsky: the
present report; and, that of July 23, 1908, with such illustrative drawings as
are necessary to fully explain them be published and widely distributed to the
citizens.
The question of municipal ownership of this necessity cannot be allowed
to drift, nor be delayed without material loss to both the seller and buyer. If
a reasonable price can be submitted such as the electors of this city will be
justified in approving, the development of the Tuolumne source as an auxiliary
supply with control of its own power will follow in due time. But if no satis-
factory basis for the purchase of the existing supply can be submitted by the
Spring Valley Water Company, the development of the Tuolumne source and its
independent power should be pushed to completion as herein indicated.
In either event the prompt acquisition of the Tuolumne rights and prop-
erties, now available, should be accomplished: for the reason, made doubly mani-
fest by the letter of the company of the date September 11, 1908, indicating
that a supplementary Sierra source is a necessary adjunct to its resources to
adequately meet the needs of this community.
When such a source is introduced it should be from the purest and nearest
supply, and from the storage reservoirs to the faucet with all intermediate rights
of power under the complete ownership and control of the City.
In considering the acquisition and operation of this necessity, i( must be
constantly kept in mind that the interest upon the capital invested comes from
the rates and not from the taxation of properties. (See Section 12, Article XII.
of the Charter). Moreover that a sinking fund may be derived from either
source of revenue and from the relief of taxation now imposed for lighting
streets and public buildings. This averages more than $300,000 per year: cap-
italization of o'/r , tliis expenditure represents an investment of $6,000,000.
The present gross income from water is about $2,000,000.
Of this income the interest on $1,500,000 is spent by the City and through
the Spring Valley Company in salaries, legal expenses, expert services, printing,
etc. — expenses which could be avoided by a removal of the prime causes of
litigation, namely, ownership by n corporation.
EEPOKT OF CITY ENGINEER 491
The yearly amounts paid for lighting streets and public buildings is over
$300,000, which sum is collected by taxation and would not be a burden to the
taxpayer if this lighting is made an incident to the public ownership and opera-
tion of the Tuolumne source; or, if applied as a sinking fund, this saving would
in 40 years pay off a large fraction of the bonds uttered for the acquisition.
That the water supply of any municipality is capable of yielding a large
revenue is abundantly proven by the tenacity with which corporations seek and
hold the control of this necessity; and by the beneficial results which have come
to municipalities which have retained or regained such ownership. The benefits
of the highest order and the advance in values of all properties and industries
conferred by municipal ownership of this necessity warrants its prompt acquisi-
tion by either purchase at reasonable rates, or by the construction of an inde-
pendent supply if this purchase be thwarted by exorbitant demands.
Respectfully submitted,
MARSDEN MANSOX, City Engineer.
BOND ELECTION OF NOVEMBER 12, 1908.
Pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Supervisors calling a special
election, an election was held on November 12, 1908, submitting to the voters
for their approval the acceptance of the grant of May 11, 1908, and the is-
suance of bonds in the amount of $600,000 @ 4%%, to meet the preliminary
costs of perfecting the grant and the purchase of lands privately held. Despite
the strenuous opposition on the part of those interested in the monopoly control
of the water supply of the City, the issuance of hundreds of thousands of cir-
culars through men at every precinct and full-paged advertisements in the daily
press, the acquisition of the water supply from the Hetch-Hetchy was carried
t>y the overwhelming majority of more than 6 to 1. The sale of these bonds
received a temporary setback by an injunction suit brought by one Henry Root,
ostensibly as a taxpayer, in Department 1 of the Superior Court of the City
and County of San Francisco, Seawall, Judge, under a law passed at the last
session of the Legislature. The Court rendered a decision June 28, 1909 sus-
taining the validity of all the acts of the Board of Supervisors in the matter
of this bond issue, whereupon the bonds were sold at a considerable premium
and the proceeds deposited in the treasury. (See Municipal Record, Volume 2,
No. 26, page 246.)
EXCHANGE OF RESERVOIR LAND.
One of the conditions of the grant of May 11, 1908, provides that an
exchange of lands between the Government and the City may be made, and as
no specific law provides for such exchange of lands, it became necessary to
secure Congressional authority therefor.
To accomplish this a Bill was introduced into Congress in December, 1908,
and it became necessary for the chairman of the Committee on Public Utilities,
Dr. Giannini, and the City Engineer to attend the session of the Committee
on Public Lands of Congress. These officials were absent on this duty from
December 8, 1908, to March 15, 1909. A report of their work was rendered
on April 5, 1909. (See Appendix II.). The decision of the Committee on Public
Lands of the House of Representatives was expressed in a very able review
of the matter written by the Hon. Sylvester C. Smith of California, and con-
curred in by a majority of the committee. (See Appendix III.).
Strenuous opposition represented principally by the president and attorney
of the Spring Valley Water Company and supported by interested allied corpora-
tions and sentimentalists, resulted in three minority reports from the Committee
on Public Lands of the House of Representatives. Five of the committee, namely,
KJ2 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Mondell, chairman; Messrs. Ferris, Craig, Reynolds and Hamilton, disagreed
on the ground that the Bill contained legislation foreign to the scope of Con-
gressional authority, rendering it of doubtful and dangerous character. Two of
the committee, Messrs. Volstead and Gronna, disagreed from the majority on the
ground that there were other available sources in the Sierras, and refused to
take cognizance of the fact that these "available sources'" were in the hands
of corporations. One member of the committee, namely, Mr. Parsons of New
York, based his objections largely upon arguments of a sentimental character.
Owing to the shortness of the session, final action of the Senate Committee was
not possible.
ACQUISITION OF PRIVATELY HELD LANDS IN THE RESERVOIRS.
The negotiations for the purchase of private lands within the area of both
reservoirs were commenced in 1904, although they had been urged by the Board
of Public Works in 1901. These negotiations resulted in securing several
options from the owner of the lands in the Hetch-Hetchy Valley, Mr. Elmer E.
Smith of Merced. The auditor, Mr. John A. Koster, having been advised by his
attorney that payments for these purposes were not legal, a private subscription
loan was solicited, to which public-spirited citizens subscribed over $10.000 by
means of which the first payment was made. (These amounts were re-paid upon
the sale of the bonds).
Recent efforts to purchase the privately held lands in Lake Eleanor Basin
were inaugurated on the 16th day of April, 1908, by a letter from the City
Engineer to Wm. Ham. Hall, claimant and representative of other claimants of
these lands and rights. Numerous conferences with Mr. Hall were held by the
City Engineer and interested citizens, and later by the Committee on Public
Utilities. These conferences were productive of no satisfactory conclusions.
In April, 1909, at the verbal suggestion of Mr. Hall, following previous written
suggestions, Prof. C. D. Marx and John D. Galloway, Consulting Engineers, were
employed to investigate the reservoir rights, lands and water rights of Mr. Hall
and advise the City Engineer as to a reasonable price therefor. They, with Mr.
Hall and the City Engineer, visited the entire region in May, 1909, and made
a thorough review of the possibilities of storage and run-off from Cherry Creek
and Eleanor Creek. They rendered a report which is in Appendix IX.
In attempting to adjust the wide differences of opinion between the Con-
sulting Engineers and Mr. Hall, the latter summarily refused to consider the
basis of the arguments and opinions of the Consulting Engineers. Upon verbally
reporting these facts to the Committee on Public Utilities, that body introduced
the necessary measures in the Board of Supervisors directing the City and
County Attorney to inauguarate condemnation proceedings against the lands
and rights in question, which case is now before the Honorable, the Superior
Court of Tuolumne County.
FIELD WORK.
During June, 1909, a party was organized and sent into the field to make
final location of the Lake Eleanor dam, clear the foundation site, locate Eleanor
Creek main canal, Tuolumne main canal, Cherry Creek diversion canal and the
power stations. These operations being necessary to 'perfect the preliminary
filings made in the Department of the Interior and in the Forest Service of the
Department of Agriculture, which applications have been previously reported
and published.
This work is delayed by the degree of formality and detail now required
by the Department of the Interior.
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 493
DVERSE FILINGS FOR RIGHTS CONFLICTING AND INTERFERING WITH
THOSE OF SAN FRANCISCO IN HETCH-HETCHY AND LAKE ELEANOR
WATER SHEDS AND IN THE TUOLUMNE CANON, ETC.
This office has had to be particularly vigilant in the matter of keeping in
touch with the Departments at Washington, relative to adverse filings. At its
request, both the Department of the Interior having control of the Yosemite
National Park, and the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture having
charge of National Forest Reserves, have given notices of all applications for
rights in Tuolumne River Basin which would conflict with those granted to this
City. The correspondence connected with these matters is too voluminous to
publish at this time, but is on file in the Bureau of Engineering. In brief, ap-
plications have been made for reservoir rights in Eleanor Lake drainage basin as
follows:
For reservoir rights of way at Kibbe Lake and at Twin Lakes.
The granting of these rights was protested against by this office and the
protests sustained, but are now on appeal at Washington.
Two applications for canal rights of way on the left bank of Tuolumne
Canon have been filed in the Forestry Service, which applications have been
protested against by this office and the protest sustained.
The original application by Mr. Hall for reservoir rights of way in Lake
Eleanor, which were made in December, 1902, and then rejected by the Registrar
of the Stockton Land Office, were protested against by this office before the
Honorable, the First Assistant Secretary of the Interior, in April, 1908, and
the ruling of the Land Office at Stockton was sustained upon the verbal presenta-
tions then made by the City Engineer.
It is manifest from the above that only the most persistent and sustained
efforts on the part of this office, supported by a vigorous and positive expression
of opinion by the public at large, will result in the retention of the great rights
now held by this City to an incomparable water supply. The most powerful
selfish interests are arrayed against either the acquisition of these rights or their
development for power, or for water supply under Municipal ownership. Every
iidvcvsc interest is actively and continuously at work to thwart the rights and
interests of this City. Equal energies must be put forth in sustained and per-
sistent effort in opposition to these sinister influences.
RELIEF MAP OF THE RESERVOIRS AND CANAL ROUTES.
There is being made for the purpose of illustrating the principles of loca-
tion and development of these works, a complete relief map extending from the
ocean shore to a line 10 miles east of the upper end of Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir.
This map embraces the entire region traversed by the conduits and distributing
system, and is upon a horizontal scale of one mile to an inch, and a vertical
scale of one-half mile to an .inch. This is nearing completion and will be made
at least three sections, which, fitted together, will form a continuous map.
EFFECT OF UTILIZING STORAGE FACILITIES UPON THE SCENERY.
The development of these reservoirs, notably that of Hetch-Hetchy, has
?en so persistenly alleged to be a "desecration"' of the natural beauties of
lat reservoir that the following illustrations have been made to show the real
feet of the storage water therein. The first is a published photograph of a
,Tiew of Hetch-Hetchy Valley from a point on the south mountain wall thereof
>ut one and one-fourth miles above the dam site, and several hundred feet
>ve the valley. The second is a reproduction of a photograph of Mirror Lake,
ituated some twenty odd miles further south in the adjoining drainage basin
494 BOAKD OF PUBLIC WORKS
of Merced River and at the head of the Yosemite Valley; this shows the natural
reflection of the bluffs and cliffs enclosing the upper end of that great valleyv
The third is a similar but artificial reproduction of the mirroring effect of a sheet
of water at the highest level of the proposed reservoir, at Hetch-Hetchy. It
will be observed that, although it has been alleged that the falls would be obliter-
ated, that the approaches to the Grand Canon of the Tuolumne extending for
twenty miles or more above Hetch-Hetchy Valley would be destroyed and ren-
dered impassable, it will be seen that on the ledge in full view above the highest
plane of the reservoir a practicable and safe trail or road can be readily con-
structed skirting under the lower one of the falls of Falls Creek, which, except-
ing the minor streams cascading over the edge of the surrounding precipices as
the snow melts, are the only falls of any height adjacent to Hetch-Hetchy Reser-
voir. Above the highest level of the reservoir and in the Grand Canon of the
Tuolumne are quite a number of superb falls and rapids rising successively to
elevations of 8,500 feet at Tuolumne Meadows. These illustrations show in the
most manifest manner the utter groundlessness of the exaggerated statements
which have been broadly made and published regarding the destructive and
marring effects of putting Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir into use.

OUTLINE HISTORY OF THE CITY SURVEYS.
The first survey of San Francisco (or as it was then called, Yerba Buena)
was made in 1839 by Juan Vioget, a surveyor, under instructions issued by
Governor Alvarado to Alcalde F. DeHaro. This survey was bounded by Mont-
gomery, Pacific, Sacramento and Dupont Streets. From this survey the City
was extended from time to time by different surveyors, until 1855 it had ex-
tended as far west as Larkin and Ninth (then Johnston) Street, and was in
subdivisions known respectively as the fifty and the one hundred vara surveys.
The fifty vara survey covering that portion lying north of Market Street, and
receiving its name from the fact that each block consists of six fifty vara lots or
six perfect squares of 137 feet 6 inches on each side, these arranged so as to have
the length of two lots north and south, and of three lots east and west. The
one hundred vara survey, or that covering the portion of the then city, located
south of Market Street, received its name in a similar manner to the preceding
section, the blocks here being composed of six one hundred vara lots, arranged
in a similar manner to those of the fifty vara survey.
On the 20th of June, 1855, a commission was appointed to lay out blocks
and streets west of Larkin and Ninth Streets, and to extend these to the Charter
line of 1851. This tract is also in two divisions — the one lying north of Market
and Ridley forming part of what is now known as the Western Addition, and
the other lying south of the same streets and embracing portions of what are
now known as the Mission and the Potrero; and from these sui'veys as a base
the main subdivisions of the City now known as the AVestern Addition, the
Mission and the Potrero, together with Homer's Addition, have been extended
to present limits.
In 1862, by an Act of the Legislature, approved April 26th of that year.
there was appointed a commission, consisting of the City and County Surveyor
(then George C. Potter), Milo Hoadley and Thaddeus R. Brooks. This com-
mission was called the Board of City Engineers.
This Act was again amended by another Act of the Legislature, approved
April 4, 1864.
The greater portion of the work under these Acts was confined to the sec-
tion bounded by Larkin, Market and Valencia Streets on the west, Tracy or
Fourteenth Street, and Mission Creek on the south, and the Bay of San Fran
Cisco on the east and north. Operations were, however, extended as far west
as Devisadero and Castro Streets, and as far south as Twenty-second Street.
Many irregularities appear in the blocks and street lines as laid out by this
Board, but it is to be supposed that some good and sufficient reasons guided it
in its work. This is, nevertheless, greatly to be regretted, as upon the work
done by that Board depends the accuracy of our present surveys. This work
was confirmed and legalized by Resolution No. 684 of the Board of Supervisors,
January 30, 1866.
In 1868, by an order of the Board of Supervisors, approved January 14th,
a commission was appointed to lay off in blocks and streets" that portion of
KEPORT OF CITY ENGINEEE 497
county lying between the Charter line of 1851 and the Pacific Ocean, which
icludes all of what is now known as the Outside Lands and a portion of the
Western Addition.
The remaining portions of the City have sprung up from time to time, as
lid out by different individuals or associations, and generally known as "The
jmesteads," with the exception of that portion known as South San Fran-
co. The City now extends over the entire county, whose area is given by
le State Surveyor-General in his report of 1879-1880 as 27,000 acres, or about
J.19 square miles.
SUBDIVISIONS;
The City is divided into eight districts or sections, known respectively as
le Fifty-Vara Survey, the One-Hundred Vara Survey, the Western Addition, the
[ission and Horner's Addition, the Potrero, Outside Lands (known now as
lichmond and Sunset), South San Francisco, and Homesteads. These are the
lines generally applied to the main subdivisions.
The Fifty-Vara, One-Hundred Vara and Mission Districts suffered the most
)m the effect of the earthquake and fire in April, 1906.
The street lines of the old part of the City, known as the Fifty-Vara Dis-
rict, were in a deplorable condition before the earthquake and fire, the Board
Engineers of 1866 failed to fix the street lines in a majority of the blocks
jtween Powell Street, Market Street and the Bay. Hence, the street lines
sre never fixed or definitely known in a district covering the most valuable
)perty of the City. The City Engineers and County Surveyors of the past
ced the street lines as best they could, taking into consideration private prop-
ty holdings and improvements. This caused in a number of cases several
ifferent street lines for the same block frontage.
This system of fixing the street lines left a surplus of land in the blocks
id confusion of titles, so much so that for years before the fire and earthquake
making surveys in this district the deed descriptions of property was but little,
any, value as a guide to the surveyor in making a survey of private property,
id the earthquake of 1906 made it more difficult as the value of many known
rints fixing the street and monument lines was destroyed.
The Board of Supervisors, October 16, 1908, passed Resolution No. 2764
(New Series) ordering the surveying, monumenting and mapping of the Fifty-
Yarn, One-Hundred Vara and Mission Districts and University Mound Tract, in
conformity with Section 3658a of the Political Code of the State of California,
and have appropriated money from time to time for said work.
The University Mound Tract has been completed and submitted by the
Honorable Board of Public Works to the Supervisors for their ratification and
legalizing.
The field work fixing the Monument lines of the Fifty-Vara, One-Hundred
Vara and Mission Districts, has been completed.
The survey fixing the street lines of the Fifty-Vara District will soon be
finished and a map of same submitted to the Honorable Board of Supervisors
for them to confirm and legalize.
Attention is called to the re-survey of this district; the map which will
soon be submitted will show the exact position of the street lines of each block,
the Monument lines, Monuments, Monument locations (or ties), all City property
and the position of all improvements in each block on the date it was surveyed.
It will show all usurpation or encroachments on City property — it will, in fact,
be the only complete survey and map ever made of this district.
The re-survey fixing the street lines of the One-Hundred Vara and Mission
District is under way, 241 block frontages in the Mission District and 155
block frontages in the One-Hundred Vara District have been completed, as
shown on the following table No. 1 of Surveys, which shows the amount of work
498
BOAKD OF PUBLIC WORKS
performed during the fiscal year ending July 1, 1909, by the Division of Sur-
veys of the Bureau of Engineering; table No. 2 shows the number of maps
which have been made from surveys and compiled from records in the Recorder's
office, as well as the number of instruments and field books in use.
While the re-survey of the City has been in progress a system of Precise
Levels has been run covering about fifty-six miles, establishing about 1,000 per-
manent Bench Marks.
The current work, including public and private street contract work, sur-
veys of private and public property, surveys for the City Architect, Fire De-
partment, Board of Education, City Attorney, Police Department. Board of
Health, Trustees of Public Library, Superintendent of Public Buildings, grades
for private and public buildings, Board of Works and Supervisors, has been kept
up without complaints or delays; 630 different matters have been referred and
reported upon by the Division of Surveys of the Bureau of Engineering to the
Honorable Board of Public Works.
An Official Grade book of all the official grades in the City and County
complete to March 20, 1909, has been compiled and is now in the hands of the
printer.
Two standard measures, 100 feet in length, have been established for use
of the Bureau of Engineering as well as the general public, one on the east side
of Mason Street, between Eddy and Ellis Streets, and one on the south side of
Turk Street, between Mason and Taylor Streets. The standards are tested each
day at a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit, with a co-efficient of expansion
of 0.0000063 per degree, 10 pounds pull.

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 533
APPENDIX I.
San Francisco, Cal., October 23, 1908.
'o the Honorable, the Board of Public Works.
Gentlemen: — I have the honor to transmit herewith the report of Mr.
)esmond Fitzgerald and Prof. C. ' D. Marx, Consulting Engineers, upon the
critical problem of the adequacy of the Tuolumne source of water supply as
made possible of acquisition under the terms of the grant of May 11, 1908,
by the Hon. James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary of the Interior.
Mr. Fitzgerald was already familiar with the entire region by reason of
his examination in 1903. Prof. Marx accompanied the undersigned on Sep-
tember 30th to October 8th, 1908, inclusive, in a careful examination of the
reservoirs, dam sites, and drainage areas. Since that date the Consulting En-
gineers, with a number of assistants from the office, have been engaged in a
critical analysis of all available data bearing upon the problem. It will be
observed that their final analysis and report is based upon the measure run-off
as gauged by the United States Reclamation Service at La Grange, and not
ipon theoretical discussions of rainfall. The City will doubtless receive from
lese authorities assurance of the adequacy of the sources now available with
ceen appreciation, as no problem of equal moment and such far-reaching consc-
iences confronts this municipality.
It is a matter of profound gratification to the undersigned that the sources
>r which he has persistently struggled have received such high indorsement.

Gentlemen : — With the approval of His Honor, the Mayor, the Committee
5n Public Utilities and the Honorable, the Board of Public Works, you have
jeen selected to report upon the following problem which has arisen in public
liscussion of certain rights offered to this City by grant of May 11, 1908, by
Ion. James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary of the Interior:
Will the proposed development of Lake Eleanor and Hetch-Hetchy Reser-
voir sites be sufficient to enable San Francisco to secure a water supply of 200
million gallons per day from the Tuolumne River, due regard being had to the
granted rights of the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation districts to the natural
flow of the river up to twenty-three hundred and fifty (2350) second feet?
This is the critical qtiestion involved in the development of this source
either as a reinforcing or as an independent supply.
The superb nature of the drainage areas, the adequacy of the reservoirs
and the excellent sites for dams being generally recognized and accepted.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) MARSDEN MANSON, City Engineer.

REPORT OF MR. DESMOND FITZGERALD AND PROF. C. D. MARX, CON-
SULTING ENGINEERS, ON THE ADEQUACY OF THE TUOLUMNE
SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY.
San Francisco, Cal., October 23, 1908.
To the Honorable, the Board of Public Works, of the City and' County of San
Francisco.
Gentlemen: — Our final instructions in regard to the investigation of the
safe yield of the Lake Eleanor and Hetch-Hetchy water sheds were received
from your Board through the City Engineer, Marsden Manson, Esq., on October
8th. They were as follows :
The consulting engineers are asked to answer the following question:
Will, the proposed development of the Lake Eleanor and Hetch-Hetchy
Reservoir sites be sufficient to enable San Francisco to seciire a water supply
of 200 million gallons per day from the Tuolumne River, due regard being had
to the granted rights of the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation districts to the
natural flow of the river up to twenty-three hundred and fifty (2350) second
feet.
In order to secure a daily water supply from any water shed with safety,
it is necessary to determine the yield during the period of longest and most
severe drought. This is commonly called the "Critical Period.'1 It is evi-
dently unsafe to deal in this connection with the average flow from the water
shed because this is made up of the total run-off, including freshets. The true
measure of capacity of a domestic water supply is the quantity it may be de-
pended upon to furnish in every emergency. There are two methods for deter-
mining the critical period: one by a study of rainfall tables, and the other by
considering the actual amount of water flowing from the water shed. As the
relations existing between rainfall and run-off are extremely variable and com-
plicated, it becomes a matter of great difficulty to deduce yield from rainfall.
With the run-off given, however, the critical period may be selected with little
difficulty and a safe daily capacity computed with accuracy.
An examination of the rainfall records at La Grange on the Tuolumne water
shed, which extend from 1868 to 1900, shows that during that interval there
were four periods of excessive drought, three of which were practically of the
same severity, judging by the rainfall records, and the fourth in 1876-7, measured
by the same standard, was the most severe. Fortunately, one of the former
periods, that of 1897-8 occurred at a time when the run-off from Tuolumne River
was measured. This period, therefore, has been selected for the present investi-
gation as the ''Critical Period," affording the most trustworthy measure of the
safe daily yield of the Lake Eleanor and Hetch-Hetchy water shed in time of
drought; all other measures must be based upon complicated theoretical con-
siderations.
At La Grange, which is lower down upon the stream than the Lake Eleanor
and Hetch-Hetchy water sheds, the area of the Tuolumne water shed is 1,501
square miles. Lake Eleanor water shed has an area of 84 square miles, and
that of Hetch-Hetchy is 452 square miles; their combined areas are 35.7 per
cent, of the area at La Grange. To the extent of this percentage, therefore,
with modifications for local conditions, these water sheds contribute to the flow
which was measured at La Grange.
The storage proposed on the combined Hetch-Hetchy and Lake Eleanor
water sheds is 96,000 million gallons. Our computations show that in the
drought of 1897-8 draft from storage would have begun on July 1, 1897, and
ended on March 1, 1899, a period of 608 days. During the whole of this tiim-
the reservoirs would have been below their full water line and there would luivi-
REPORT OF CITY EXGIXEER 535
en no discharge of water into the streams below the dams except for the use
f the irrigation districts in accordance with our instructions.
On the basis of the measured run-off at La Grange, which, as we have
already stated, we believe to be the most conservative basis that can be adopted,
we have computed, that, during the severe perior of drought prevailing in
1897-8, the safe daily supply for the City of San Francisco from Lake Eleanor
and Hetch-Hetchy water sheds would have been at the rate of 240 million gal-
longs daily.
We consider, therefore, that the question you have asked us is answered
in the affirmative and that the City can depend upon 40 million gallons daily
over and above the 200 million gallons referred to in that question.
We have also examined the rainfall records at all stations in this portion
of California to ascertain if there is a possibility that in the high Sierras thd
critical period of 1897-8 may be exceeded in the future when judging on this
basis, and we have found but one period, that of 1876-7, pointing in that direc-
tion. In this period there is a record showing a rainfall at La Grange of only
5.74 inches.
With the natural flow of the stream entirely diverted to the uses of the
irrigation districts, which is the worst assumption that can be made for San
Francisco, we find that the period of drought would have extended from July
1, 1876, to January 1, 1878, a period of 549 days, during which the only de-
endence of the City would have been on its stored water at Lake Eleanor and
etch-Hetchy. After allowing for evaporation and other losses, we find that
t would be necessary to increase the proposed storage to 120,000 million gallons
in order to furnish a draft of 200 million gallons daily.
In conclusion, we desire to impress upon your Board the importance of
beginning as soon as possible a series of continuous gaugings at the outlets of
the Hetch-Hetchy and Lake Eleanor water sheds.
Very respectfully,

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
CONSISTING OF DR. A. H. GIANNINI, CHAIRMAN OF THE PUBLIC UTILI-
TIES COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AND MARSDEN
MANSON, CITY ENGINEER, APPOINTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
RESOLUTION NO. 2976 (NEW SERIES), BOARD OF SUPERVISORS,
ON THE PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE COMMITTEES ON PUBLIC LANDS
OF BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS, IN THE MATTER OF A SIERRA
WATER SUPPLY FOR SAN FRANCISCO; ALSO REPORT ON PERMITS
GRANTED THE CITY AND COUNTY BY THE DEPARTMENTS OF THE
INTERIOR AND AGRICULTURE, TOGETHER WITH CORRESPOND-
ENCE BEARING ON SAID PERMITS.
FILED IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, SAX
FRANCISCO, CAL., APRIL 5, 1909.
To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San
Francisco.
Gentlemen: — In accordance with Resolution No. 2976 (New Series), ap-
proved December 1, 1908, the undersigned proceeded to Washington, arriving
on December 12, 1908. The duty assigned to us was to secure the passage,
if possible, of the joint Resolution of the two houses of Congress, authorizing
the Secretary of the Interior to execute certain exchanges of lands between the
United States Government and the City and County of San Francisco, which
lands are situated within the limits of the Yosemite National Park, and the
"Segregated Area'' adjacent, and were to be exchanged in accordance with stip-
ulation confirmed by the action of your Honorable Board in May and June, 1908,
and in accordance - with the stipulations agreed upon with the Honorable, the
Secretary of the Interior on May 11, 1908.
We immediately put ourselves in communication with the Hon. Geo. C. Per-
kins and Hon. Frank B. Flint, Senators of California, and with the Hon. Julius
Kahn and Hon E. A. Hayes, Representatives in Congress from this City. We
were assured by these gentlemen that there would be no difficulty in securing
the passage of a joint Resolution effecting this exchange by the approaching
holidays.
On December 16, 1908, the Committee on Public Lands of the House of
Representatives met in the house office building in Washington, the Hon. Frank
W. Mondell, chairman, presiding; special order for the morning being House
Joint Resolution 184, introduced by Mr. Kahn, on May 16, 1908, entitled, "To
allow the City and County of San Francisco to exchange lands in the Yosemite
National Park and adjacent National forest, for portions of the Hetch-Hetchy
and Lake Eleanor Reservoir sites in said Yosemite National Park for the pur-
poses of a municipal water supply." Representative Necdluim appeared and
insisted that Secretary Garfield's grant be not modified.
Official copies of this hearing are submitted herewith. It will be noted
that at this meeting the Hon. James R. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior, was
present, and presented the results of his examination into the case in a very
comprehensive statement. Quite a large number of communications, adverse to
the granting of the privilege of exchange, were presented, and are found printed
in the hearing herewith submitted. These are from Robert U. Johnson, of the
Century Magazine; memorandum from John Muir, president of the Sierra Club;
01
:
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 537
d from Horace McFarland, president of the American Civic Association; Nor-
man J. Hapgood, editor of Collier's Weekly; William E. Colby, secretary of the
Sierra Club; a full brief by R. U. Johnson, quotations from Muir's article in
e Century, from Allen Chamberlain of the Appalachain Mountain Club, Bos-
>n ; a joint communication from John Muir, C. T. Parson, J. N. Le Conte and
William F. Bade, directors of the Sierra Club, and 'from T. F. McGovern, chair-
man of the Board of Supervisors of Tuolumne County.
At the close of that meeting, a sub-committee of five was appointed, of
which Mr. Smith of California was the chairman. The duties of this committee
were to compare the various forms and amendments submitted, and to draft a
resolution putting the exchange into effect. One or the other of us kept in con-
tact with this Committee daily, except during the three days' holiday at Christ-
mas. On January 9th the full Committee met, Chairman Mondell presiding. It
was found that some subtle influence was at work, opposing these grants, and in
the latter part of December, Supervisor Giannini fourid it advisable to go to
Xew York. He there ascertained that the president and the attorney of the
Spring Valley Water Company were actively engaged in opposing San Fran-
cisco's petition.
At the meeting of January 9th, Mr. Englebright made strong objection to
the passage of the resolution unless a point of division should be fixed. Mr.
Whitman of Boston, Massachusetts, representing the Appalachain Mountain
b, and the Sierra Club of San Francisco, presented an argument against
nting any privileges whatsoever to the City for the storage of water. There
ere also filed a large number of protests against the granting of the exchange.
Secretary Garfield's ruling having been attacked in these proceedings, he
in appeared and presented in full the law governing the case, the policy
the Department, and confirmed in strong terms his previous actions. The
on. George W. Woodruff, Assistant Attorney-General for the Interior Depart-
ent, also set forth the law and practice of the Department, and materially
rengthened the position of the Department in its rulings. Both Mr. Kahn and
r. Hayes were present during this meeting and presented various phases of the
se. Upon the conclusion of these hearings, the Committee went into executive
ssion Avith the understanding that at the next meeting final form of the reso-
tion would be presented, and adjourned to meet on Tuesday, January 12th, in
ecutive session. Anticipating that this program would be carried out, we did
t expect to attend this meeting, but in passing through the hall, on the above
te, we noticed that a meeting was being held and that the attorney for the
ring Valley Water Company had appeared without announcement or notice,
us or to any of San Francisco's representatives, and was addressing the Com-
mittee, presenting certain legal objections, and opposing the passage of the
Resolution of Exchange on legal and technical grounds. A full statement is
appended in the proceedings herewith submitted, and a large number of tele-
grams and letters were submitted, which are printed in the record.
Such a number of technical points were raised by the attorney for the
Spring Valley Water Company that we deemed it best to advise that His Honor
the Mayor and Special Attorney Judge Curtis H. Lindley and other of the City
officials be sent on to meet these points. This necessitated an adjournment until
Monday, January 20th, at which date the hearing was resumed. The additional
members sent on by the City were the Hon. Warren Olney, ex-Mayor of Oak-
land; Hon. James D. Phelan, ex-Mayor of San Francisco; Percy V. Long, City
and County Attorney; Mr. Walter Me Arthur, editor of Seamen's Journal, and
Mr. John D. Galloway, member American Society of Civil Engineers. These
gentlemen all presented their views as recorded in the printed copy of the hear-
ings of that day. Additional letters and telegrams were sent in and are printed
in full in the record. The hearings not being completed on that day, the Com-
mittee adjourned until Tuesday, the 21st, when the discussion was continued
and finally closed.
538 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
On February 8, 1909, the report of the House Committee on Public Lands
was submitted to the Committee of the Whole and ordered printed. Concurring
in this report were eight members of the Committee, led by Mr. Smith of Cali-
fornia, dissenting from this report was a minority report signed by Congressmen
Mondell (chairman), Ferris, Craig, Reynolds and Hamilton, a second minority
report signed by Congressmen Volstead and Gronna, a third minority report of
some length by Congressman Parsons. Copies of the majority and minorities'
reports are submitted herewith.
The proceedings of the Committee on Public Lands of the Senate were as
follows :
On February 3rd, this Committee met; Senator Nelson, chairman. It was
decided that scs the proceedings before the House Committee had been very full,
and were available in printed form, that it would not be necessary to stenog-
raphically report the Senate Committee proceedings. A general presentation of
the City's case, coinciding practically and somewhat shorter than the previous
presentation to the House Committee, was then made. The Committee having
other important matters to take up, it was adjourned until February 10th, at
which date the second meeting was held; full records being kept, and a printed
copy of the proceedings is submitted herewith. It will be noted that quite a
number of prominent Eastern gentlemen, some of whom were actually acquainted
with the subject matter, addressed this meeting, as well as a representative of
the Chicago Geographical Society ; the Saturday Walking Club, the Playground
Association of Chicago, and who in a larger sense claimed to represent the future
generations to whom Hetch-Hetchy Valley is represented to have been deeded
in perpetuity by Congress, titles to which ownership were, however, not presented
further than by this broad statement. The time of the Committee was fully taken
up by these objectors. The Committee adjourned to meet on February 12th, at
10 a. m.
At this meeting the attorney for the Spring Valley Water Company made a
second long argument, fully presented in the printed record submitted; also the
Chief Engineer of the Spring Valley Water Company. In this meeting quite
an interest in the sale of the Spring Valley properties to the City was developed,
and this question was injected into the real proposition under discussion in such
form as to make it apparent that the Committee would not decide in favor of
the resolution authorizing an exchange of lands. A large number of opposing
opinions were expressed and discussed, and the adverse purposes of the ma-
jority of the Senate Committee having been made manifest to us, we then re-
quested Senator Flint to withdraw further action.
Before leaving Washington, we addressed to Senators Perkins and Flint
and to Congressmen Kahn and Hayes a joint letter requesting these gentlemen
to resubmit the propositions involved in this exchange of lands to the Sixty-first
Congress at its first meeting.
As this exchange is not absolutely essential to the carrying out of the work
before you, it may be left to our Senators and Representatives in the Sixty-first
Congress. We are, however, of the opinion that it is desirable to carry out the
exchange, as it is in harmony with a formal agreement entered into with the
proper officials of our Government and for the purposes of perfecting an agree-
ment between this City and the Government. The denial of this exchange has
bepn used for the purpose of making it appear that it entirely thwarts the great
interests of this City in the acquisition of a water supply, and this has been so
persistently put forward that it is solemnly believed by many. The policy of
this City, however, should be to pursue persistently and consistently the per-
fecting of the rights now in her ownership. No other proposition is of such
vital moment and none other of whatever nature should be permitted to inter-
pose a diverting opinion or line of action.
The vigor and character of the opposition are conclusive evidence of the
high value and importance of the rights which have been secured by the City,
EEPOET OF CITY ENGINEER 539
it cannot be conceived that so much effort and expense would be put forth
prevent the acquisition of these rights were they as valueless as is claimed
the opponents of the project. Respectfully submitted,
A'. H. GIANNINI,
Chairman Committee of Public Utilities.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PERMITS SECURED FOR THE
CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO IN CONNECTION WITH THE
HETCH-HETCHY WATER PROJECT, TOGETHER WITH A SCHEDULE
AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF SAID COMMITTEE.
San Francisco, April 5, 1909.
To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors, City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — We have fully advised you and submitted, from time to time,
copies of the proceedings held by the Committees of the two Houses of Congress
the matter of the granting of the privileges to exchange lands in Hetch-Hetchy
alley with the United States Government in accordance with stipulations entered
to with the Government through the Hon. James R. Garfield,* Secretary of the
terior, on May 11, 1908, and subsequently confirmed by your Honorable Board.
In the progress of these proceedings it became apparent in February that,
the face of opposing interests, the Sixtieth Congress would not grant these
vileges of exchange. It was therefore deemed advisable, in order not to delay
the progress of the work and unknown to the opposition to secure all necessary
permits which were essential to the complete carrying out of the Hetch-Hetchy
project. We therefore secured, through the co-operation of the Departments of
the Interior and of Agriculture the following permits:
First: To strip and explore the foundation of the Eleanor Lake Dam to
determine the detailed character and shape of the foundation; to make such
gaugings as were necessary to erect such structures as were required, and to
do all work to effectuate the conditions of the grant of May 11, 1908.
Second: Rights of way — For a diversion canal from Cherry Creek into
Eleanor Lake Reservoir crossing the Park line in the saddle adjacent to and
northwest of the lower end of this lake.
Third: For a canal commencing at the base of the dam and to extend along
the left bank of Eleanor Creek across the Park line and into the "Segregated
Area" to a power site in Tuolumne Canyon, and connected with a canal on
the left bank of this canyon.
Fourth: For a power site in the "Segregated Area" situated in said
canyon.
Fifth: For a canal extending from the Park line along the left bank of
the Tuolumne River through the "Segregated Area" and the Stanislaus Forest
Reserve to its westerly boundary.
Sixth : For a power site near the mouth of the South Fork.
Certified copies of these permits are submitted herewith. It will be noted
that with the permits granted on May 11, 1908, these constitute all that will be
necessary to be secured for the carrying out of the entire project of developing
the Hetch-Hetchy and Eleanor Lake water supply, and must be followed by the
submission of maps showing the final location of these canals and sites, where-
upon these rights and permits under the law of February, 1905, become irre-
vocable during the period of their beneficial use.
The duties imposed upon us by your Honorable Board were found to be
onerous and difficult, and although the prime object of our work, namely, the
540 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
exchange of lands in accordance with Stipulation 1 of the grant of May 11, 1908,
was delayed until some future Congress, the granting of the permits herewith
submitted puts the City in the possession of all rights necessary for the develop-
ment of this water supply, and places before your Honorable Board and the
citizens of this City, the responsibility of perfecting and developing the most
magnificent water supply within reach of any American city.
We regret that an attempt should have been made to thwart the true inter-
ests of the City by a company whose properties now iu use we believe the officials
and citizens of this municipality stand ready to purchase whenever a fair value
can be fixed and a legal offer made. This company called to its aid the services
of attorneys and also the sympathy and support of misguided sentimentalists and
enthusiasts, who fail to realize the fact that San Francisco owns in fee simple
a far greater portion of the floor of the Hetch-Hetchy Valley than remains under
the control of the Government, and that it owns also under the laws of Congress
the right to flood this remaining land. Their efforts were of considerable effect
in aiding the company now supplying this City with water. Many of their state-
ments, as will be seen by reading them, were made in ignorance, and we hope
that a broader knowledge of the facts and better judgment will warrant them in
a change of view.
There are, however, now in the possession of this City all necessary rights
to develop the Hetch-Hetchy water supply. These rights are of such value that
prompt and efficient work should be continued until the City shall enjoy the
inestimable advantages to its homes and industries which the introduction of
this water supply will assure.
It must be recognized that the efforts of the Spring Valley Water Company
and its co-workers were to thwart the City in the acquisition of this supply and
that these efforts will in all probability be continued. It must be also recog-
nized that so long as this opposition on its part shall be continued no satisfactory-
basis of purchase of its works can be arranged. As outlined and advised in the
report of the City Engineer of September 14, 1908, and as constantly advised
by that office since 1901:
"The question of municipal ownership of this necessity cannot be allowed
to drift nor be delayed without material loss to both the seller and the buyer.
If a reasonable price can be submitted, such as electors of this City will be
justified in approving, the development of the Tuolumne source as an auxiliary
supply with control of its own power will follow in due time. But if no satis-
factory basis for the purchase of the existing supply can be submitted by the
Spring Valley Water Company, the development of the Tuolumne source and
its independent power should be pushed to completion as herein indicated."
This City must perfect the acquisition of the Hetch Hetchy source by its
introduction either as a reinforcing or as an independent supply. If steps
towards either of these ends be opposed as they have been in the past by the
Spring Valley Water Company, it will be difficult for that company to finance
any project it may have to bring its supplies up to the growing demands of this
City. If this conflict shall be pursued for any considerable length of time, it
is manifest that the company will be in a position to allege that its inability
to meet the growing demands is due to the efforts of the City to introduce a
"rival" supply to "bankrupt" the company. Now, to make any just basis for
further misstatements or disagreements impossible, we respectfully recommend
that the purpose of the officials of this City to purchase the Spring Valley plant
be reiterated and that the attention of every stockholder of that company whose
address can be obtained be specifically called to the purpose of the City and its
intention to purchase the Spring Valley plant as soon a "square offer" can be
had for the sale of its properties. Moreover, that it is the purpose of thi-
to perfect for itself the ownership of the Hetch-Hetchy source as a reinforcing
supply if possible, or as an independent supply if forced to do so. That it
with the stockholders and officials of the Spring Valley Water Company to
EEPOET OF CITY ENGINEER 541
make what Senator Nelson declares has never been made, namely, "a square
offer."
We therefore submit the following schedule:
(1) (a) Perfect the final payments upon all purchases of lands in the
floor of the Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir and areas for exchange.
(b) Acquire by purchase, under negotiations now in progress or otherwise,
all privately held lands in Eleanor Lake Reservoir.
(c) Perfect final location of the route from the west boundary of Stanislaus
forest Reserve to the City and acquire title to rights of way for all structures.
(d) In accordance with the recommendations of Consulting Engineers Fitz-
gerald and Marx, construct gauging stations on Eleanor Creek and Tuolumne
river, and occupy them for continuous gauging. This work can probably be done
in conjunction with the United States Reclamation Service.
(2) (a) Clear the foundation of Eleanor Lake Dam and perfect final plans
for this structure so that construction may proceed in the spring of 1910.
(b) Perfect final location of all canals and power sites under permits now
[ranted.
(c) Perfect final plans for the construction of Cherry Creek diversion canal,
for Eleanor Lake main canal and for Tuolumne power station, that these works
may be proceeded with so as to use this power for operating the compressor,
drilling and excavating plans to be used in all construction work upon dams,
canals, tunnels, etc. The work under (2) to embrace the necessary location and
construction of the telephone lines, trails and roads essential for the direction
and progress of the work.
(3) As soon as the plant and force used in clearing the site of Eleanor
jake Dam can be transferred, similar work to be done at the Hetch-Hetchy site.
The carrying out of this schedule is essential to the perfection of rights of
incalculable value to this City. The manifest impossibility of properly perfecting
these rights under a shifting control makes it obligatory upon the present ad-
ministration to demark and put in force a control which can withstand the
powerful and subtle interests which have opposed and which will
continue to oppose the acquisition of these rights by the City. It
has only been by self-sacrifice and disinterested work that they have
been carried thus far; and they can and will be wrecked unless correspond-
ing work shall be continued, and unless it be supported by the confidence of the
public in those few who direct it. The vote of November 12, 1908, was dis-
tinctly a vote of confidence in both the source of supply and in the purposes and
intents of those directing its administration. This campaign cannot be success-
fully planned and carried out by a dozen different heads, and according to the
suggestions of every one who has, or supposes he has, ideas on the subject.
The problems of execution now before this community are primarily those
of law and engineering. You have, with the approval of the City Attorney,
selected as special counsel in these matters a man of the highest integrity and
knowledge. The work so far accomplished has been done under the Charter,
and through and by the officers therein provided. We therefore recommend that
your Honorable Board adopt and put into effect the above schedule. In other
words, that a definite project be adopted and put into effective force along the
lines prescribed in the Charter, and that the whole weight of the administration
be given such effective force that this project and schedule may be carried be-
yond any point at which it can be baulked or turned aside. Every petty or
selfish interest must be disregarded and this work must go ahead on an assured
basis proportionate to the magnitude of its bearing upon the future interests
of this community. Respectfully submitted,
A. H. GIANNINI,
Chairman Committee on Public Utilities.

Marsden Manson, being duly sworn, says, that he is the City Engineer of
the City and County of San Francisco and is officially charged by law and by
special ordinances of said City and County to make all surveys and applications
for rights of way for canals, ditches and reservoirs or other structures connected
with the water supply of said City and County; that the preliminary surveys
of said City and County canals and ditches are described as follows:
Cherry Creek Diversion Canal — Commencing at the intersection of the west-
erly boundary of the Stanislaus Forest Reserve, California (the same being the
easterly boundary of the Yosemite National Park), with the center line of the
Cherry Creek Diversion Canal in said Forest Reserve granted to the City and
County of San Francisco February 25, 1909, for municipal water supply pur-
poses, and continuing therefrom in tunnel in a true course S. 45° E. 897 feet or
0.16 mile, and to contour elevation 4,900 feet as given upon the U. S. Geological

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEEE
545
Apartment of the Interior.
Washington, February 25, 1909.
The Commissioner of the General Land Office — Sir: I transmit herewith a
Jtter in duplicate, from Mr. Marsden Manson, City Engineer of San Francisco,
?presenting the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, and accompanying tenta-
tive map and field notes of a preliminary survey of the rights of way over lands
in the Yosemite National Park, coupled with a request that the local land offices
be instructed to receive and file the same until final surveys can be made and
filed, as required by existing regulations.
In view of the fact that the rights of way known as the Lake Eleanor
Main Canal and the Cherry Creek Diversion Canal, described in the accompany-
ing papers, are for the purpose of effectuating in part the stipulation on the part
of the City of San Francisco under the privilege granted it by Department letter
of May 11, 1908, for reservoir sites at Lake Eleanor and in the Hetch Hetchy
Valley in the Yosemite National Park, I see no reason why the request in the
premises .should not receive favorable consideration, and it is accordingly
hereby approved. Full compliance with the requirements of the regulations
governing rights of way, approved July 8, 1901, will not be insisted upon at this
time, and the city will be granted the privilege of making and completing its
surveys, as required by such regulations, at a later date. You will accordingly
so instruct the local land officers, forwarding for filing in their office one set
of the accompanying copies, of the application in the premises, tentative field
notes of preliminary survey and attached map, requiring them to acknowledge
the receipt thereof. Advise the Department of the action taken by you hereunder
and retain the other set for the files of your office.
Very respectfully,
JAMES RUDOLPH GARFIELD, Secretary.
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE IS INSTRUCTED THAT COMPENSATION
is NOT TO BE EXACTED FROM CITY FOR RIGHTS OF WAY OVER
PARK LANDS.
Department of the Interior.
Washington, February 26, 1909.
The Honorable Secretary of Agriculture. Sir: Your letter of the 25th
instant has been received, inclosing a map filed by the City of San Francisco,
through Mr. Marsden Manson, City Engineer, as the City's application, under
the Act of February 15, 1901 (30 Stat. 790), for a permit for municipal water
and power project within the Stanislaus National Forest, and situated partly
upon lands segregated from the Yosemite National Park and made a part of
said National Forest, by the Act of February 7, 1905. (33 Stats. 702.)
You inclose a draft of a permit which the Forest Service contemplates
issuing to the City for this project, and inquire whether it is consistent with
the views of this Department regarding the matter of charges. You also add
that it is not the present intention of the Forest Service to require the City to
pay any charge for the use of National Forest lands not formerly within the
National Park.
In response thereto, I have to s.tate that, in view of the fact that the
water to be furnished the City of San Francisco from Lake Eleanor and Hetch
Hetchy Valley, in the Yosemite National Park, is to be used for domestic pur-
poses, it is not the purpose of the Department to exact any compensation for
546 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
the rights of way desired by the City over park lands, and which are to be
used in effectuating its agreement with the Interior Department.
It will be required, however, to make payment for such timber as may be
cut or destroyed in the construction of such rights of way. I have therefore to
suggest that the permit be so modified as to provide for the payment to the
Forest Service, in such manner and at such rates as may be fixed by the Forest
Service, for all timber cut and destroyed on the National Forest lands which were
not excluded from the Yosemite National Park; the Secretary of the Interior
will fix the rate to be paid for such timber from the right of way through the
segregated territory, and it is requested that the Forest Service will advise this
Department as to the quantity of timber cut, used or destroyed in the segregated
territory, together with the rates which, in its judgment, should be paid therefor
by the City.
In view of the fact that the form of permit submitted provides that in case
any electric power generated by the plants authorized by this permit is sold
commercially, such reasonable charges therefor as may be from time to time
fixed by the duly authorized representatives of the United States shall be paid
by the permittee, at such time and in such manner as such officers may prescribe,
the Department will exact the same payments for a proportionate share of the
power generated through the use of the right of way over the lands segregated
from the Yosemite National Park and sold commercially.
The map accompanying your letter is herewith returned with the request
that, if practicable, a copy thereof be supplied for the files of this Department,
as well as a copy of the forms of permits issued by the Forest Service in the
premises. Very respectfully,
JAMES RUDOLPH GARFIELD, Secretary.

BERING'S REPORT ON OUTFALLS FOR SEWERS.
San Francisco, Cal., May 26, 1909.
Mr. Marsden Mauson, City Engineer, San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sir: — In accordance with your communication dated April 15, 1909.
requesting my opinion upon several changes that have been suggested in the
plans of the sewerage for San Francisco since 1899, I respectfully present to
you the following report :
While spending five weeks last ^ spring in San Francisco, chiefly in the
preparation of specifications for the disposal of refuse, I carefully went over the
ground and made an examination of the territory of the City and County and
a study of the hydrography of the bay and ocean adjoining the City. After a
thorough inquiry into the entire subject, I present my opinion on the points
you request.
THE OCEAN SLOPE DISTRICT OF THE PENINSULA.
The original plan for the sewerage system of the City of San Francisco,
prepared by C. E. Grunsky, Marsden Manson and C. S. Tilton, provided a sepa-
rate system for the Sunset and West Richmond district. It was concluded that
the sewage removal would be required at an early date, but that the storm water
could run on the surface for some years without objection and thus save for
some time the investment of the cost of removing it underground in large sewers.
These districts have since been growing rapidly. There has also grown a
feeling that the storm water from so large a territory as this would carry with
it much dirt, horse droppings and rubbish from the street surface, which would
in time be objectionable when discharged directly into the ocean near the beach.
Careful and comprehensive studies were therefore made to select a point at
which the surface water from these districts could be discharged so as not to
seriously injure the beach.
It was concluded that a discharge even at some distance from shore would
still permit the prevailing west wind to drive suspended matter back to the
beach. It also became evident that some of the storm drains, irrespective of the
sewers, would be required at an early date in those districts now building up.
A new plan was therefore worked out for the ocean slope districts, on the
principle of a combined instead of a separate system, with an outfall oft' Mile
Rock Point.
Although somewhat doubtful at first as to the expediency of draining
districts to such a distant point by a combined system without pumping. I am
now convinced, after examination of the plans developed by Principal Assi
Engineer H. D. Connick, that the combined system is not only feasible for
districts, but under present conditions it should be adopted and the main com-
bined sewers built at once.
The storm wafer, according to these plans, is intercepted from almost the
whole territory by a gravity sewer, giving the sewage and rain water a very
good velocity and thus correspondingly reducing its size.
The outfall to Mile Rock requires a tunnel about one mile in length from
near the Cliff House to the Point. The rain water from heavy storms can be
diverted westwardly by a shorter overflow into the ocean a few thousaini
north of the Cliff House. This shortens the length of the large sewer nee-
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 549
to the Mile Rock outfall, and the sewage, together only with the first wash from
storms, which is quite dirty, is discharged off Point Lobos into deep water, as
at the other outfall at North Point. Here also the sewage will completely disap-
pear from view and it will be so distributed and diluted that even currents to
the south could not bring the sewage back to the beach from which it has been
intercepted.
This gravity interceptor has been given a well studied cross section, and
the additional expense required to discharge the street water north of Point
Lobos, is, in my opinion, well justified by the resulting protection of the entire
beach south of Point Lobos not only from all sewage drift, but also from the
street wash, some of which would be likely to strand at the beach if discharged
even several hundred feet distant into the ocean. <
There remains a small territory between the intercepting main sewer just
mentioned and the beach varying from one to four blocks in width, for which
this interceptor makes no provision. To have located it on the Great Highway
and thence to Mile Rock outfall would have greatly reduced its grade, and there-
fore the velocity, necessitating an increased size. These conditions make its
location on the Great Highway impracticable. Therefore, a second interceptor
of smaller size and lower grade, sufficient to provide for the small territory below
and west of the first mentioned interceptor, has been located upon the Great
Highway, and at C Street discharges into the first interceptor, which is located
on Forty-eighth Avenue.
The design makes it entirely practicable to discharge the second and lower
interceptor by gravity into the first one and still to receive the sewage from
buildings along the Great Highway.
An examination has been made into the desirability of an additional lowering
of the second sewer for deeper drainage, and of resorting to pumping the sewage
with a low lift pump int ) the first, or main, interceptor. But pumping is en-
tirely unnecessary, as the grades are sufficient for a gravity discharge at eleva-
tions sufficiently low for all residence purposes.
It should be realized, however, that when a storm fills the first or main
interceptor, it will back the water into the second and lower interceptor and
thus temporarily check its discharge. This check, however, is not objectionable,
because, if the storm water should fill both sewers at the same time to their full
capacity, there would be no back water. Should the main interceptor be filled
and not the lower interceptor, the back water would merely delay the complete
discharge of the latter for a short time, which would not be objectionable. To
erect a pumping station to lift the storm water of the lower interceptor would
entail an investment the benefit of which would be small and remote, and there-
fore I do not recommend it.
To prevent water from backing up into the lower interceptor when the
main interceptor runs full, it is only necessary to provide the usual hanging
flap gate near the outlet of the former. This expedient would not only prevent
back water, but allow of the usual discharge at ordinary times.
For the above stated reasons, I regard the change in the plan suggested by
converting the sewerage system of the west or ocean slope districts into a com-
bined system with the interceptors and outfalls located as proposed, as proper
and commendable.
HUNTER'S POINT AND SUGGESTED SIXTEENTH STREET OUTFALLS.
When making the original design for the proposed sewerage system, careful
studies were made regarding the quantity of sewage that could be properly dis-
charged into San Francisco Bay. It was realized on the one hand that economy
suggested carrying some of the sewage to the nearest points on the bay and there
discharging the same; on the other hand, it was recognized that certain parts
550 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
of the bay, where it was comparatively shallow, had but very slight currents,
conditions which were not favorable to the discharge of large quantities of
sewage.
The result of the tidal current investigations of 1899 led the designers to
recommend that only ten per cent, of all the sewage of San Francisco could be
discharged into the bay south of Union Street without objectionable results and
that the outfall for this portion should be at Hunter's Point.
I have fully agreed to this recommendation and believe it to be in the best
interests of the future City. The bay being the future harbor will unquestionably
receive a large amount of objectionable organic matter from the shipping, as it
is customary to clean up the vessels in the harbor. This additional pollution
will undoubtedly be noticeable in the future, if the bay waters also receive
excessive amounts of sewage from the City.
In fact I believe that it may in time be found advisable to pump the sewage
from the Hunter's Point outfall into the North Point main sewer and to dis-
charge it into deep water at North Point, which outfall is decidedly the better
one of the two, and is one where the sewage of a large metropolis can be dis-
charged safely and be completely removed from view.
It has been proposed, in order to cheapen the cost, that the North Point
main should be intercepted at Sixteenth Street and carried to the bay with an
outfall at the foot of Sixteenth Street. This would give a shorter distance to
the outfall than a discharge at North Point. According to the present plans the
storm water coming down the North Point main will overflow into the Division
Street channel and thus be finally disposed of; it is not to be taken to North
Point.
Estimates of cost of the two propositions do not materially favor either one
plan or the other. If, in both cases, the storm water overflows into the Division
Street channel, the outfall at the foot of Sixteenth Street would be somewhat
less expensive.
Nevertheless, I have not the slightest hesitation to advise you not to adopt
the plan of permanently discharging a large amount of sewage at the foot of
Sixteenth Street. The bay currents form an eddy between Hunter's Point and
Rincon Point. That they are sluggish is made clear by the tidal flats at China
Basin. Floats set off at Central wharf at all stages of the tide move slowly
along the shore and many fail to reach the strong tidal currents of the bay at
all. Therefore, I could not recommend this Sixteenth Street outfall even at a
material saving of cost, because the object of building a system of sewers for
your City it to remove effectually for the future all pollutions and other objec-
tionable features connected with a sewerage system. The advantage of getting
the sewage of as large a part of the City as practicable to the North Point out-
fall, including the territory which might have its sewage discharged at the foot
of Sixteenth Street, I consider to be very great, and even at greatly increased
cost, I have no hesitation in strongly recommending it to you.
It has also been suggested to carry the Islais Creek sewage from the Ocean
View district to Hunter's Point and thus avoid the projected tunnel, which will
take this sewage to the North Point outfall.
I cannot recommend such a plan to you for reasons which have already been
stated. Temporarily, the discharge might not .be objectionable, but as a perma-
. nent plan I should not hesitate a moment to advise against it, in view of the
increased pollution of the southerly arm of the bay, which is not a body of water
that can safely receive large amounts of sewage from San Francisco, and will
moreover be taxed with the sewage from the towns and cities south of the City
and also from Alameda.
It is fortunate that at a reasonable expense for the tunnel you can bring so
much of the sewage of the future City to the North Point outfall.
It should not be overlooked that as an economical feature in devising a
system of sewers, other things being equal, we should endeavor to concentrate
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER
551
the sewage as much as possible into large sewers, as we sometimes save large
sums of money thereby. In this case there is such a saving, and in addition
thereto the consequently increased amount of flow in the flat portion of the North
Point main increases the velocity of sewage flowing in it, and therefore tends to
keep it in a better condition.
For these reasons I feel justified in recommending that as large a volume
of sewage as possible be concentrated into the North Point main and delivered,
as originally designed, into the strong tidal currents at least 1,000 feet off the
seawall at North Point. Respectfully,
RUDOLPH HERING.

APPENDIX IV.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS ARRIVED AT BY C. D. MARX AND J. D.
GALLOWAY, CONSULTING ENGINEERS TO THE CITY AND ENGINEER
OF SAN FRANCISCO, IN THE MATTER OF APPRAISING THE VALUE
OF CERTAIN CLAIMS BY PARTIES REPRESENTED BY WILLIAM
HAMMOND HALL AT LAKE ELEANOR AND ON ELEANOR CREEK.
The object of the investigation was the appraisal of the rights and prop-
erties of Mr. flail with a view of recommending to the City Engineer the amount
to be paid for the properties. We were furnished with data by Mr. Hall regard-
ing his properties, together with statements of possible developments for the
storage of water and generation of electric power. Also a statement of the pos-
sible amount of water to be developed by storage on Eleanor Creek and Cherry
Creek. Also with various arguments and statements outlining Mr. Hall's posi-
tion; also with a price for which he offered to sell his properties on Eleanor Creek
to the City of San Francisco. In May, 1909, we visited the properties in com-
pany with Mr. Marsden Manson and Mr. Hall. We have obtained certain infor-
mation from attorneys representing the City as to the standing of Mr. Hall in
his endeavor to secure reservoir privileges and also rights of way for canals in
the Forest Reserve in connection with the dvelopment of his properties. The
claims of Mr. Hall are summarized as follows :
I. Ownership of certain lands bordering Lake Eleanor.
II. Right to store water in Lake Eleanor between high and low water mark
obtained by the building of a small dam at the mouth of the lake before the
institution of the Forest Reserve.
III. Request to the Government for reservoir privileges at the Lake Eleanor
site, which application has been denied.
IV. Application for reservoir privileges at Kibbe Lake and Twin Lakes to
the Government, which application has been denied.
V. Water rights taken up under State law on Kibbe Creek, the creek
draining Twin Lakes, and on Eleanor Creek at a point just outside of the
Yosemite National Park but within the Yosemite Forest Reserve.
VI. Water rights on Cherry River taken up under State law, which would
allow the use of the waters of Eleanor Creek after said waters had entered Cherry
River. This right would allow the use of the Eleanor Creek waters in two addi-
tional power plants. The statements presented by Mr. Hall claim that he can
develop 120 second feet of constant flow throughout every year. It is upon this
amount of water combined with other waters from Cherry River that power
would be developed.
After the examination of the entire question, we have arrived at the fol-
lowing conclusions:
Instead of being able to develop 120 second feet constant flow, we conclude
that the utmost practical development of Eleanor Creek would be 75 second feet.
Mr. Hall's scheme calls for storage reservoirs to hold water over a period of at
at least eight years. Figures presented by him show that he would obtain a
constant flow of 51 second feet in a year of extreme minimum flow; of 85 second
feet in a year of ordinary minimum flow, and 127 second feet in a year of
ordinary flow. We diagramed the rainfall records at La Grange and at Modesto,
and from these diagrams infer that there may be periods of four years at a
time in which the rainfall would be less than the mean or ordinary year. This
statement is made to justify our conclusion that the water shed with a practical
development of power could not be depended on for more than 75 second feet
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER
553
continuous flow. This fact is further borne out by gaugings taken on the Stanis-
laus River at Sand Bar Flat. Comparison of the run-off records of the Stanis-
laus River taken at Oakdale with the Tuolumne taken at La Grange show that
in the main the run-off from the two rivers is about the same per unit area.
Hence, comparisons are justified between the run-off of the upper portion of the
Stanislaus with similar areas on the Tuolumne. Such deduced run-off gives for
1908 on Eleanor Creek a run-off of 94 second feet. Making a reasonable deduc-
tion from this 94 second feet for the fact that drier years than 1908 will be
experienced makes it reasonable to suppose that not more than 75 second feet
continuous flow can be obtained from Eleanor Creek. The conclusion to be
deduced from this is that all claims for possible power made by Mr. Hall should
be reduced in the ratio of 75 to 120. Again the statements of the amount of
power possible from the water over the various drops would not be realized.
Assuming three drops as amounting to 2,870 feet, the possible power from 75
second feet available at the switch board of a power house would be 13,150 K. W.
We estimate roughly that the practical development of Eleanor Creek to give 75
second feet continuous flow by means of dams, together with the construction of
power houses, three in number, and a power transmission line at least 120 miles
long to a market, would cost $300 per K. W. of installed capacity. As the pos-
sible power constant load amounts to 13,150 K. W., it would be necessary to
install at least double this capacity of machinery as the prevailing load factors
would not be over 50%. In addition 25% installed capacity must be added
as a reserve. This brings the necessary installation at the three power houses
up to 32.900 K. W. At $300 per K. W. this would make the cost of the installa-
tion some $10,000,000. Such plants would provide a constant output of 13,150
K. W. or 115,194,000 kilowatt-hours per year. At % of one cent per kilowatt-
hour this would provide a revenue of $864,000.
The fixed charges on such a plant would amount to
6% of $10,000,000, or $600,000
Operating expenses, taxes, depreciation, etc 167,000
Total : $767,000
As justifying the rate of % of a cent per kilowatt-hour we cite the pro-
posed contract between the United Railroads and the Stanislaus Electric Power
Company at that rate. It can thus be seen from these figures that the plant
offers merely an ordinary investment, and since a large amount of money must
be expended for darns, it is not one which would attract the attention of capital-
ists at the present time however good it may be in the future. This statement
is made as showing that little high value lies in the power possibilities. It may
be stated as a fact that a.ny power plant requiring an amount of storage which
means controlling practically all of the flow of a stream throughout a number
of years, is not at present a financially practical power proposition. Should it
become necessary to add to the above assumed annual fixed charges, the fixed
charges which Mr. Hall claims the Government is likely to impose on future
water power development in the United States, the financial practicability of his
scheme vanishes for a period the length of which we cannot predict.
Our conclusions are that since the City of San Francisco has been granted
reservoir privileges at Lake Eleanor and that a similar application for privileges
by Mr. Hall was initially denied, that he has not the power to store any water
on Eleanor Creek. We were provided by Mr. Manson with an opinion from Mr.
Woodruff, formerly of the Department of Justice of the United States Govern-
ment at Washington, that Mr. Hall could be refused by the Forestry Service the
right of way for canals through the Forest Reserve. This is obviously owing to
the fact that reservoir privileges have been given the City which by inference
carry with them the use of water. The opinion was expressed by Mr. WToodruff
554 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
that it was a question whether the State laws were superior to National laws in
the Forest Reserve. The summary of this conclusion is that Mr. Hall has no
reservoir rights on Eleanor Creek and cannot get them. That he has not ob-
tained any rights for canals, and that it is doubtful if he could obtain them and
if he could, they would be practically useless. Hence it is, that even after his
claims have been scaled down as stated above, his water right privileges amount
to nothing.
Turning now to the values of the lands, a basis of value is arrived at as
follows:
The City of San Francisco has purchased from private owners certain lands
in the Hetch-Hetchy Valley. In buying these lands in the Hetch-Hetchy Valley
it Avas necessary for the City to purchase certain other lands outside of the
valley, such outside lands being a part of an estate which was sold entire. We
are supplied by Mr. Manson with a statement that these lands in the valley w>8t
the City for 1,531 acres $167,379, which is at the rate of about $110 per acre.
A claim has been set up by Mr. Hall that the Lake Eleanor Reservoir site is a
superior one to that of Hetch Hetchy, owing to the fact that in his estimation
a rock filled dam of moderate cost would be used at Lake Eleanor, while at
Hetch-Hetchy a masonry dam is absolutely necessary, as it takes the full overflow
of the Tuolumne River. Without committing ourselves definitely, we are of
the opinion that for public work of this kind it would be necessary to construct
at Lake Eleanor a masonry dam instead of a rock-filled dam, hence oiir relative
estimates of cost. We infer that the cost per unit of water storage would be
about the same in two places based on the cost of the dam. Hence, as far as
construction cost is concerned, neither site has superior advantages, hence the
relative value of the two sites can be determined only by the ability to store
water. This ability is measured in the case of these mountain reservoirs, where
in dry years practically all of the water would be stored, by the amount of water
flowing past the dam. As the reservoir sites are in practically identical country,
the measure of the amount of water which can be stored, and therefore, the
value of the reservoir site is the drainage area existing above the site of the
dam. Differences of elevation would play a part in these two reservoir sites as
available sources of water supply for San Francisco in that, if it becomes neces-
sary to develop electric power for pumping purposes, the reservoir situated at
the higher elevation has advantages over that at a lower elevation. As Lake
Eleanor is some 1,000 feet above Hetch-Hetchy, it is, for this reason, a more
valuable site. However, it is an open question in our minds as to whether it
would not be better to carry water under full pressure across the San Joaquin
Valley sufficient to lift the water over Altamont Summit. Should that be done
it is unnecessary to develop power for pumping purposes at Altamont and in this
light the advantage of Lake Eleanor disappears. Our conclusion is that the
lands in Lake Eleanor are no more valuable at present than those at Hetch-
Hetchy, and that an offer of $110 per acre to Mr. Ham. Hall for his land hold-
ings on the Lake Eleanor water shed, would be a fair offer. This would total
$101,200. In addition Mr. Hall has constructed trails, made surveys, which, if
the City be allowed the use of, would justify the total payment to Mr. Hall for
all his holdings on Eleanor Creek water shed of one hundred and fifty thousand
($150,000) dollars.
It is furthermore recognized, that should Mr. Hall be able to establish his.
rights to waters of Lake Eleanor, then value does attach to these rights.

APPENDIX V.
60TH CONGRESS, 2D SESSION, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
REPORT NO. 2085.
GRANTING USE OF HETCH-HETCHY TO CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
February 8, 1909— ^Committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered
to be printed.
Mr. Smith of California, from the Committee on the Public Lands, submitted
the following report (To accompany H. J. Res. 223.) :
The Committee on the Public Lands, to whom was referred House Joint
Resolution 223, to allow the City of San Francisco to exchange lands for reser-
voir sites in Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy Valleys, have had the same under
consideration and report the same back with a recommendation that it pass.
The purpose of the resolution is to give the City of San Francisco good title
to certain Government lands desired by her for reservoir sites in connection
with a contemplated water supply. The Secretary of the Interior, acting within
his lawful authority, has already given the City permission to use the lands in
question, but under the law this permit is revocable at will by the present or
any subsequent Secretary of the Interior. A more permanent tenure is desired
by the City.
The City of San Francisco has a population of about 400,000 people. Across
San Francisco Bay are Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, and several smaller munici-
palities, with an aggregate population about equal to that of San Francisco. All
of these cities are supplied with water by private corporations, and the supply
of all is obtained from the country immediately outside, and to some extent
within, the City limits, the drainage area of all being within, say, 50 miles of
the Golden Gate. The present supply for San Francisco in the dry season
amounts to about 36,000,000 gallons per day, while the daily consumption is
32,000,000. There is some conflict of opinion among engineers as to the feasi-
bility of developing much more water for that City within the drainage area of
the present system, while all the authorities agree that reasonable foresight dic-
tates that a mountain or Sierra supply should be sought at once.
SIERRA SUPPLY.
About a dozen sources of water supply in the Sierra Nevada Mountains have
been examined for San Francisco b<y the most eminent water engineers in the
West — some of these, notably Mr. C. E. Grunsky, formerly of the Panama Canal
Commission, and Mr. Ma.rsden Manson, having national reputations — and there
is practical unanimity, in their reports that the Tuolumne River furnishes the
best opportunity to secure a large, pure, and perennial supply. It would not be
correct to say that this is the only adequate supply to be found in those moun-
tains, but the expert authorities are well agreed that it is the most desirable
one from the standpoint of freedom, from contamination from human activities,
such as stock raising, mining, etc., and it also has the advantage of containing
valleys suitable in a marked degree for reservoir sites.
WATER STORAGE.
Having in mind the fact that rain and snow fall in California only during
the winter months, and that for approximately half the year there is no precipi-
-:,;, BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
lation at all, the imperative necessity of impounding water during the wet season
becomes apparent. The absence of available reservoir site, on some of the Sierra
streams puts those streams out of consideration in examining this problem.
Along the Tuolumne and its branches are found two excellent opportunities
for storing the flood waters of winter. One is at Lake Eleanor and the other
is the Hetch-Hetchy Valley. These lie well up in the mountains, almost due east
of San Francisco and distant from it about 140 miles as a water conduit would
run.
The former is situated at an elevation of 4,700 feet and is fed by Eleanor
Creek and tributaries of the Tuolumne River. Speaking of this reservoir and
its water supply, Mr. Grunsky,. above referred to, said inthis report to San
Francisco :
i-On the streams which lead into Lake Eleanor are a number of small lakes,
many of which are so located that they could be converted into reservoirs of
considerable storage capacity. Nearly all of them have been formed by glacial
action and are surrounded by bare granite mountain slopes and cliffs. This is
true of Lake Eleanor itself, except in that the mountain slopes immediately
adjacent to the lake are in large part fairly well timbered.1'
The area of Lake Eleanor is about 300 acres. The drainage area directly
tributary to the lake is 84 square miles.
A 9am in the canyon about a mile below the outlet of the lake having a
height of 75 feet would increase the lake to an area of 1,159 acres and give the
reservoir a holding capacity of 13,108,000,000 gallons. The Hetch-Hetchy Valley
is on the Tuolumne River proper and is about 3,000 feet in width from mountain
wall to mountain wall. So near do the mountain walls come together at the
lower end of this valley that a dam 150 feet high would have a crest length of
but 400 feet. This would flood approximately 1.180 acres and would contain
33,071,000,000 gallons. Of the watershed Mr. Grunsky said:
"The watershed area of the Tuolumne River above the point where the dam
is to be constructed is about 452 square miles. It is an ideal collecting ground
for wated to be used for the supply of a large city. This upper region, drained
by Tuolumne River, lies at a high altitude, nearly all of its elevations in e
of 5,000 feet, ranging from this elevation to a maximum of over 13,000 feet.
By reason of the severity of the climate that prevails in this watershed, and its
inaccessibility, it is uninhabited and uninhabitable."
PURPOSES OF THIS RESOLUTION.
About two-thirds of the land in Lake Eleanor Valley and approximately one-
half of that in Hetch-Hetchy is owned by the Government, San Francisco owning
or having options on the remainder. The purpose of this resolution is to author-
ize the Secretary of the Interior to grant to San Francisco the right to use the
Government land for reservoir purposes, the City conveying to the Government
an equal area of land which she now has lying in or near the border of Yosemite
National Park.
THE NATION'S PECULIAR INTEREST.
Ordinarily such an exchange for such a purpose would be made without
hesitation, but in this case it happens that the lands or valleys which the City
desires to flood are within the limits of the park just mentioned. This fact lias
been held by not a few very worthy citizens to differentiate this grant from
many others that have been made in aid of municipal water supplies. But a
a very full examination of the whole question it was the judgment of the com-
mittee- that the injury to the park and the interference with the pleasures of
those who will visit it do not outweigh the great advantages accruing to the
nation's principal Western seaport city. What are now valleys, or ' 'meadows''
REPORT OF CITY EXGIXEER
557
as they are called, will become lakes; and if this be a detraction from the beauty
of the park — a point about which there is much difference of opinion — an inesti-
mable benefit will result to one of the principal cities of the nation and to the
countless thousands, even millions, who will reside there in the generations yet
to come.
OTHER CITIES INTERESTED.
It is important to note at this point that while San Francisco ^is the imme-
diate beneficiary of this legislation, Oakland, Alameda, and other cities on the
.•ast .shore of the bay are asking that the grant be made, in anticipation of the
time, not far distant they believe, when they, too, must go to the mountains for
water, and when they will seek to acquire an interest in this supply. Those
cities have communicated with the committee officially urging favorable action
on the resolution on this ground.
THE EFFECT ON THE PARK.
Recurring to the resulting effect on Yosemite National Park, it may be said
that Hetch-Hetchy is north of Yosemite Valley, distant about 22 miles and over
a high divide, in another watershed, Yosemite being on Merced River, while
Hetch-Hetchy is on the Tuolumne. Lake Eleanor is still farther north over an-
other divide. The park comprises 1,124 square miles, and in the forest reserves
that extend up and down the face and crest of the Sierra Nevadas and in Sequia
and General Grant Parks are thousands of recreation grounds of equal beauty
and grandeur with these two valleys. The nation's playgrounds, very important
as they are. will not be obliterated by these comparatively small subtractions —
and there be not a few who say, that these will not be \vholly diverted from their
original dedication.
THE PRESENT LAW.
The present law (Statutes of 1901, p. 790) gives the Secretary of the In-
terior power to permit the use of lands for reservoir purposes in the national
parks, but expressly says that such permits may be revoked at any time by the
tary granting them, or by his successor. The statute reads:
''The Secretary of the Interior * * is authorized * * to
permit the use of rights of way through . * * * the Yosemite, Sequia, and
(i.-nrral Grant National Parks, California, for * * * water conduits and for
water plants, dams, and reservoirs used to promote * * the supply of
water for domestic, public, or other beneficial uses * . Provided, That
such permits shall be allowed within/ or through any of said parks
only upon the approval of the chief officer of the department, under whose super-
vision such park or reservation falls, and upon a finding by him that the same
is not incompatible with the public interest * ; and provided further,
That any permission given by the Secretary of the Interior under the provisions
of this act may be revoked by him or his successor, in his discretion, and shall
not be held to confer any right or easement or interest in, to or over any
public land, reservation, or park.''.
As San Francisco's outlay will be something above $40,000,000, she hesi-
tates to proceed without an irrevocable title to the initial part of her water sys-
tem, and reservoir sites.
It is important to observe in this connection that she can proceed without
this congressional grant of the land if she chooses to do so. So it is not in its
last analysis a question as to whether she shall occupy certain portions of Yo-
semite Park, but whether Congress will aid a City to carry out its purposes in
the most businesslike way.
;V,.S BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
THE INTEREST OF IRRIGATORS.
In considering the question as to whether the City should be given the
permit to use the valleys for reservoirs the Secretary of the Interior found that
there was another party in interest, namely, the irrigating districts along the
river. These were represented by counsel when San Francisco's Engineer, Mr.
Marsden Manson, appeared before the Secretary to agree upon the terms to the
permit, and certain stipulations were inserted to safeguard the interests of these
farmers. One of these was the provision that San Francisco should not dispute
the right of these districts to the first 2,350 second feet of water in the river.
This provision has caused some to feel that the Secretary overstepped the bounds
of his authority and tried to dispose of the waters of a non-navigable stream —
a right jealously and properly claimed by the States. But a careful reading of
the stipulations will show that all the Secretary attempted to do was to insure in
advance peace between the City and the districts by making the City agree that
it would never challenge the rights of the districts to the amount of water
named. No one else is estopped from claiming a part or all of this water, and
San Francisco is in no sense given the remainder of what may be in the stream.
These matters have been left entirely to the State law for determination.
With the same solicitude for the welfare of these farming communities, the
Secretary required San Francisco to agree to furnish electric power to the people
of the district, for certain purposes at a certain price. But this again was not
an assertion of a right to fix the price of hydro-electric power generated in a
State; it was a stipulation in the nature of a consideration for the permit which
the City wanted from the Government.
The full text of the Secretary's permit, giving the terms therein imposed,
is appended hereto as Appendix A. These terms were accepted by the City of
San Francisco, as shown by its ordinance appended as Appendix B.
A PRIVATE INTEREST CONSIDERED.
The Spring Valley Water Company now supplies San Francisco with water.
Its representative appeared before the committee and argued that this legisla-
tion should not be had because negotiations were now pending for the sale of
its works to the City, and if the Government should enact this law it would
strengthen the City's hand in these negotiations by bringing it a step nearer
to another supply. To this spacious argument the City replies in kind by saying
that if this grant be not made the -advantage will be with the Spring Valley
Water Company, as it will then have one less competitor to meet in the market.
It is doubtful if Congress should enter into the consideration and adjust-
ment of these advantages and disadvantages. A much larger question is in-
volved than these matters which affect present negotiations. The rights of large
and useful investments should be respected, of course, but so should the rights
of some hundreds of thousands of people. As a rule, the former are better able
to take care of themselves in a business struggle than the latter are.
If it will be borne in mind that only fifty years ago New York City's popu-
lation was but equal to that now on San Francisco Bay, that Chicago had but
800,000 barely twenty years ago, and, further, that fifty years hence this nation
will have 200,000,000 population, with a growing proportion of them on the
Pacific slope, some realization will be had of the present importance of securing
not merely enough, but an ample supply of water for the Western metropolis.
The resolution grants to the City merely "the use of" the lands in these
valleys and provides that if she shall abandon this plan for securing a water
supply and not use the lands the grant shall terminate.
The committee believes that a city embarking in so great an enterprise as
this should be given a firm footing in the form of an irrevocable right to the use
of the lands needed, and recommends the adoption of the resolution.
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER
559
APPENDIX VI.
San Francisco, April 20, 1909.
To the Honorable, The Committee on Public Utilities.
Gentlemen : — In compliance with your letter of March 15, 1909, I submit
the following appraisement of the properties of the County Line Water Company
in the Reis Tract, in the southeast part of this City and County. An appraise-
ment of this property cannot and circumstances which called it into
existence: the functions for which it was constructed and what part of these
functions it has fulfilled; and, what new service it is called upon to give, and
the cost of such service under existing conditions.
About 1902-3 the Reis Tract was subdivided into lots by Mr. T. B. Potter.
There was no water supply, but as the Crystal Springs main passed through the
property, Mr. Potter apparently assumed that if pipes were laid, connections
with that main would be made.
Two-inch black iron dipped pipes were therefore laid in shallow trenches
throughout the tract and aggregating some 8.8 miles in length. Failing to con-
nect with the Crystal Springs main, four wells were bored on property con-
trolled by the owner on Leland Avenue, between Milliken and Desmond Streets.
These Avells are about 135 feet deep, three are 10 inches in diameter and are
not used; one is 20 inches in diameter, with which the pumps are connected and
which supplies all the water. Boilers, pumps and buildings were erected, and
an 8-inch double riveted pipe of sheet steel laid to a concrete walled reservoir
at the junction of Oneta and Wilde Streets, distant some 4,700 feet, having a
capacity of some 500,000 gallons and with sufficient elevation to command the
])ipt' system.,
The lots were then sold, it being possible to represent to intending and
actual purchasers that pipes were in front of each lot and water thereby avail-
able. The first function of the water system was thus fulfilled, namely, to aid
in the sale of lots and to attach that value to them which an available water
supply gives. Having accomplished this function the operation of the system
became an obligation.
For some years this obligation was discharged at rates which apparently
enabled the owners to operate the plant without serious loss. But later it be-
came apparent that the rates must be the same as those fixed by ordinance of the
Board of Supervisors. These rates do not and cannot yield in so small a plant,
a sufficient revenue to operate and maintain the plant, particularly since most
if not all of the charges are at the rates fixed for small householders, and for
the further reason that the plant was not constructed for this economic purpose.
Between the organization of the company and December 23, 1907, the de-
ficiency in operating expenses over receipts aggregated about $7,000, of which
deficiency $2,300 was incurred between May 1, 1906, and December 23, 1907.
(See letter of Mr. Potter of December 23, 1907). This represents a deficiency
of $110.50 per month. It is apparent therefore that whatever be the value of
the plant 5f/f income on an additional capital of $26,000 is necessary to secure
its operation upon an economic basis and that the plant, whilst doing business,
has no value as a going concern. It is, moreover, apparent that as soon as these
water works discharged the function which caused their construction, namely,
the sale of the lots for homes, they became a source of expense and made it to
the interest of the owner to dispose of them. There appears also an obligation
on the part of the owners to continue to discharge the second function, viz: to
supply to the homes they have caused to be developed, although this cannot be
done at legal rates and pay for the operation and maintenance of the plant.
560
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
This obligation the City must assume if it purchases the plant, and assume it
without the advantages and profits which have already accrued to the owners
in the sale of the lots. The City in purchasing the plant will have to give to
the properties furnished water thereby all operating and maintenance exjn
above the revenue, which, from Mr. Potter's letter just referred to, amount to
5% interest on $26,000, and which, in city ownership, must come from some
other source or the above sum must be set aside and invested for this purpose.
For these reasons I do not recommend the purchase of the plant.
The plant was not therefore conceived, designed nor built for the economic
purposes of furnishing a permanent water supply to the district, but for the
purpose above set forth, and already accomplished. It consequently has no
value as a going concern, and its value rests solely upon its real estate, build-
ings, and the machinery, pipes, etc., in their present condition.
REAL ESTATE.
The real estate consists of:
(1) Lots 5 and 6, block 50, and alleyway.
(2) Lots 1, 21, 58, 59 and 60, block 54.
(3) Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 62, block 30.
On the first are the buildings and pumping plant.
On the second is a small reservoir which receives water from a small spring
developed by a tunnel, and on the third is the 500,000-gallon reservoir.
These lots are valued by several appraisers as follows:
Employed by County Line Water Company —
Crocker Real Estate Company $ 8,475.00
Russell & Callan 9,400.00
G. H. Umbsen 9,475.00
Employed by City and County Attorney —
H. E. Chandler 6,500.00
It will be safe therefore to appraise the value of
the real estate at 8,500.00
Buildings —
The buildings are appraised at 2,000.00
Boilers, pumps, etc., $8,740, less 25% depreciation 6,555.00
Pipe — •
The 2-inch pipe is apparently in fair condition.
It has been in use since 1902-3. It was laid in
shallow trenches and has been uncovered by washing
away the soil in some places. Serious rust occurs
only in short lengths connecting reducers, gates, etc.
The life of pipe of this character is about 25 years.
As second-hand material it is worth about 5c per foot,
but it has a value if it is to be continued in use and
is appraised at 50% of its cost, as given in Mr.
Morser's estimate.
46,560 feet 2-inch pipe, at 12c $5,587.50

APPENDIX VII.
APPRAISEMENTS OF PARKS, PLAYGROUNDS, ETC.
FOR PROPOSED BOND ISSUES.
San Francisco, May 9, 1909.
The Honorable, the Board of Public Works of the City and County of
San Francisco.
Gentlemen: In compliance with Ordinance No. 757 (new series), approved
April 29, 1909, I submit herewith appraisements of properties as required in
Propositions Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, of the above named Ordinance.
PROPOSITION FOUR,
The acquisition of lands on Telegraph Hill to be used as a public park.
The appraised value of all of the lands and improvements which it is now-
proposed to acquire is $372,900.00. But as it may not now be necessary to
acquire all of these areas, certain properties, as suggested by the various com-
mittees and individuals most interested in the matter, may be omitted. These
temporary ommissions will reduce the above figure by approximately $120,000.00
or to $253,000.00. The acquisitions to be secured under this reduction preserve
the hill from further encroachments and permit the proposed bond issue to
remain approximately at the figure originally suggested, should this be the
judgment of the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors.
PROPOSITION FIVE.
The acquisition of lands in the Potrero district in the vicinity of Kansas,
Twentieth, Connecticut and Army streets, to be used as a public park.
In the region of this site an area covering sixteen city blocks is appraised
at $392,856.00, which sum is somewhat within the figures tentatively suggested.
It is therefore reasonable to fix the proposed bond issue for this pin-pose at
$400,000.00.
This proposition can be modified without serious detriment to the site by
omitting either four (4) blocks or eight (8) blocks.
By the first omission a deduction from the above figure of $142,000.00 may
be made, leaving $258,000.00 for twelve blocks. By the second omission of
eight (8) blocks a deduction of $240,000.00 may be made, leaving $166,000.00
for the remaining eight blocks, which area is very slightly built up and contains
an area suitable for grading as a public playground.
The areas omitted in the above suggestions are those most built up :nid
occupied.
PROPOSITION SIX.
The acquisition of lands in the vicinity of Van Ness avenue at its northerly
termination to be used as a Public Aquatic Park.
The entire area suggested for this proposition will require Blocks ?>'•'. :M.
35, 37, 106 and 107 Western Addition, and Block 288 of the Fifty Vara Survey.
The appraisement for this entire area, omitting state property to the north, is
$796,000.00.
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER 563
But by the omission of the south half of Blocks 37 and 33 and all of 288,
eduction of $304,000.00 may be made, leaving $465,000.00 for an area of six
• ) blocks, one of which is in the state ownership and omitted in this appraise-
mt.
PROPOSITION SEVEN.
The acquisition of lands in the Bay View district in the vicinity of Rail-
avenue and Thirty-second Avenue South, to be used as a public part.
Two properties available for this proposition were carefully examined near
the vicinity named in the ordinance. Either of these sites meet the require-
ments. The first aggregates some eight or nine acres and the second about
eleven. The appraised value of either site is $60,000.00, and each offers
advantageous grounds for games.
PROPOSITION EIGHT.
The acquisition of lands in the vicinity of Elizabeth, Sanchez, Twenty-fourth
and Xoe streets; in the vicinity of Nineteenth, Twentieth, Iowa and Pennsyl-
vania ; and in the vicinity of Eighteenth, Dolores, Nineteenth and Guerrero
streets, all to be used as public playgrounds.
a. Lands in the vicinity of Elizabeth, Sanchez, Twenty-fourth and Noe.
Properties in this vicinity are quite closely built up. But a suitable area is
available at an appraised value of $171,950.00.
b. In the vicinity of Nineteenth, Twentieth, Iowa and Pennsylvania streets.
The most available site in this vicinity is appraised at $46,000.00.
c. In the vicinity of Eighteenth, Dolores, Nineteenth and Guerrero streets.
All sites in this vicinity are quite closely built up. Four alternative sites in this
vicinity were appraised as follows:
1. 555 x 520 $490,600.00
2. 455 x 520 .'..... 366,850.00
3. 455 x 420 252,750.00
4. 560 x 280 260,000.00

\> tli Honorable, the Board of Public Works,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
(.- ni'enien : I submit herewith the annual report of the Bureau of Archi-
<ir tin- fiscal year ending June 30, 1909.
Respectfully yours.
LORING P. RIXFORD,
City Architect,
As thr present incumbenl City Architect did not assume office until June 3,
, the work accomplished by the Bureau of Architecture during the period
red by this report was under the direction of his much-esteemed predecessor
he late Mr. Xewton J. Tharp, City Architect.
At the beginning of the fiscal year the Bureau of Architecture was in a
formative condition, the work done in the former fiscal year being the carrying
out of certain work which had been started by the previous administration.
s for several school houses, for which moneys had been obtained through
the Bond Issue of 1904 — namely, the Bergerot, Glen Park, Bay View, Oceanside,
Monroe, Laguna Honda, Winfield Scott, Washington Grammar, Golden Gate,
Sunnyside and the Yerba Buena — had been made by architects appointed under
an ordinance of the Board of Supervisors. These plans had been modified and
improved and made more modern by the addition of proper heating and ventilat-
ing systems, and contracts let, and four of them completed, namely, the Bergerot,
Oceanside, Glen Park and Bay View: the other seven were well under way,
contracts having been signed in the months of February and March. The letting
of these contracts and the letting of certain temporary buildings constituted the
work of the Bureau of Architecture previous to the beginning of the fiscal year
represented by this report. Plans, however, had been made and were nearly
completed for the following buildings:
Bush street Fire House, Engine No. 2, for which a contract had been let
June 2, 19iiS:
And the Infirmary Building, for which plans were Hearing completion.
The schools of the Bond Issue of 1904 were completed and ready for occu-
pancy by the following dates:
Monroe School (China avenue and London street) was completed December
29, 1908, at a cost of $78,435.86;
Laguna Honda (Seventh avenue, between I and J streets) was completed
December 29, 1908, at a cost of $81,186.48:
Winfield Scott (north side of Lombard near Broderick) was completed
October 14, 1908, at a cost of $40,440.93;
566 BOAED OF PUBLIC WOEKS
Golden Gate School (north side Golden Gate between Pierce and Scott) was
completed January 29, 1909, at a cost of $61,417.20;
Sunnyside School (Flora avenue) was completed October 12, 1908, at a cost
of $3'8,312.57;
Washington Grammar School (southwest corner Washington and Mason
streets) is nearing completion June 30, 1909, and will be ready for occupancy
within a short time ;
Yerba Buena School (north side Greenwich street, between Fillmore and
Webster), for which $28,761.95 had been donated by the school children of
America, had been started with this money ; subsequently when the Board of
Supervisors had made an additional appropriation of $32,000, a completion con-
tract was signed, and the building was finally completed June 2, 1909, at a
total cost of $54,243.00.
Early in the fiscal year the plans for the Infirmary Building on the Alms
House tract were completed and the following contracts were awarded:
Concrete work, September 14, 1908, Condon-McGlynn Co., $119,100.00;
General contract, December 2, 1908, Condon-McGlynn Co., $91,200.00:
Heating and ventilating contract, November 12, 1908, W. H. Moffatt & Co.,
$11,500.00;
Plumbing contract, November 12, 1908, Wm. S. Snook & Son, $14,964.00;
Electric Contract, December 8, 1908, Standard Electric Company, $5,750.00.
At the end of the fiscal year the rough concrete work is rapidly nearing
completion and the general contract started. The building will be completed and
ready for occupancy about February 1, 1910. This building is an excellent type
of reinforced construction, thoroughly fireproof throughout, and will be equipped
and maintained as a Hospital for the Infirm Poor, including chronic and con-
valescent cases from the San Francisco Hospital. It will be capable of housing
300 patients and the necessary physicians, nurses and attendants.
In the Budget of the fiscal year, money was appropriated for the housing
of the Fire Department which had lost most of its buildings in the conflagration.
Plans were prepared and contracts let for the following permanent fire houses :
Engine No. 1 (Pacific street), two story class C buiding, contract let Sep-
tember 25, 1908, total cost $27,040.77;
Truck No. 1 (O'Farrell streef near Grant avenue), three story class C
building, contract let September 25, 1908, total cost $23,127.82;
Truck No. 10 (Sacramento street near Maple), two story class C building,
contract let October 12, 1908, total cost $21,697.38;
Truck No. 7 (Seventeenth and Division streets), two story class C build-
ing, contract let March 2, 1909, total cost $11,993.87;
Engine House No. 40 (Carmel near Ashbury street), two story frame build-
ing, contract let January 27, 1909, total cost $14,536.32;
Chemical No. 11 (Twenty-second and Noe streets), two story frame build-
ing, contract let December 10, 1908, total cost $16,567.00.
These six fire houses are nearing completion on June 30, 1909, and will
be ready for oc«Mipancy early in the next fiscal year.
Engine House No. 10 (Bush street between Grant avenue and Kearny
stree'), a two story frame class C building, total cost $26,246.88, planned during
the former fiscal year, v, as finished June 1, 1908.
Drawings were made for the Corporation Yard, consisting of a class A
building devoted to shops for the repair of the appliances of the Fire Department,
and contract for partial construction has been let for $48,900.00 This building
REPORT OF CITY ARCHITECT 567
is to receive an additional appropriation the coming fiscal year and will be com-
pleted in the spring of 1910. June 30, 1909, the foundations are in place ready
to receive the steel frame.
The principal work of the fiscal year has been the preparation of plans
and specifications for the various buildings of the Bond Issue of 1908, namely,
the San Francisco Hospital, Hall of Justice and County Jail, and the new
school houses.
An election was held May 7, 1908, for the issuance of bonds for public
improvements, to the amount of $18,000,000, of which $8,000,000 was for the
erection of public buildings as follows:
$2,000,000 for the San Francisco Hospital;
$1,000,000 for the Hall of Justice and County Jail;
$5,000,000 for the construction of the new school buildings.
As soon as money became available from the sale of these bonds, plans were
prepared for the various buildings. Careful study was given to the plans for
the San Francisco Hospital, and in their preparation the City Architect received
great aid from the various members of the Board of Health, and particularly
from Dr. Ophuls, the President. By the end of the fiscal year the general plans
of the main group of buildings consisting of the Administration Building, the
four Ward Buildings, Nurses' Home and the Receiving Building, are well under
way. On May 5, 1909, contract was let to Foster & Yogt for the excavating
and foundations, at a cost of $42,397, and the steel drawings are ready for
the taking of bids early in July. This institution, which will be one of the
finest hospitals in America, will consist of main group of buildings capable of
housing 500 patients, (with possible future extension of two additional ward
buildings of 240 beds). The Tuberculosis Group with 276 beds and an In-
fectious Group with 100 beds, each group to have separate administrative offices
controlled from common administration, and when completed will have a grand
total of 1116 beds. It is contemplated that this building will be ready for
occupancy about November, 1910.
HALL OF JUSTICE AND COUNTY JAIL.
During the fiscal year plans and specifications have been prepared for the-
Hall of Justice, which has been designed to house the Police Department, the
four Police Courts, the three Criminal Departments of the Superior Courts, and
the offices of the District Attorney, and the City Prison. This structure will be
a five story class A building and will, when completed, be the finest public
building that San Francisco has had. The general drawings have been com-
pleted and the following contracts been let :
Excavation and foundation work, Healy-Tibbitts Construction Company,
April 19, 1909, $28,800;
Steel work, Dyer Bros., May 7, 1909, $113,675;
The drawings and specifications for the general contract have been com-
pleted and this contract will be let during the month of July, 1909.
SCHOOLS.
During the fiscal year great progress has been made in the construction of
new school houses under the Bond Issue of 1908. In all, plans have been com-
pleted for eleven school houses, namely, Mission Grammar, South End, Bryant
Cosmopolitan, Sutro, Madison, Frank McCoppin, Garfield, Commercial High
568 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
School, Hancock, McKinley and Clement. The first six of these schools are
well under way and it is expected they will be ready for occupancy by the end
of the year.
Mission Grammar School (on Mission street, between Fifteenth and Six-
teenth), 16 room class A building, will cost, when completed, about $170,000;
South End Primary (on Bacon street, between Girard and Berlin), a 16
room special class building, will cost, when completed, $102,000;
Bryant Cosmopolitan (on Bryant street, between Twenty-second and
Twenty-third), a 16 room special construction building, will cost, when com-
pleted, $107,000;
Madison Primary (Clay street, between First avenue and Cherry street), a
12 room special class building, will cost $87,000;
Sutro Grammar School (Twelfth avenue, between California and Clement),
a 16 room special class building, will cost $103,000;
Frank McCoppin Primary School (Sixth avenue, between B and C streets),
a 16 room special class building, will cost $103,000;
The other five schools will be completed in the spring of 1910:
Garfield (southwest corner of Kearny and Filbert streets), 16 room special
class building, at a cost of $104,500;
Commercial High School (Grove street, between Larkin and Polk) 23 room
class A building, at a cost of $261,000;
Hancock Grammar (Filbert street, between Jones and Taylor), 16 room
class A building, at a cost of $160,000;
McKinley Primary (Fourteenth and Castro Streets), 16 room special class
building, at a cost of $110,000;
Clement Primary (Thirtieth street, between Noe and Castro), 12 room
special class building, at a cost of $85,000.
Plans are well under way for four other schools of the Bond Issue of 1908,
namely, the Sheridan, Lakeview, the Denman Grammar, and the Jean Parker.
Figures will be taken on these schools in the beginning of the next fiscal year.
The class A school buildings will be thoroughly fireproof in their construc-
tion and follow the best types of school architecture that we have in America.
They will be well lighted and thoroughly up to date in all of their appoint-
ments, as well as being architecturally beautiful in design.
The special class buildings will be as near fireproof as it is possible to
make a frame building. The basement story, which is considered as the greatest
fire hazard, will be of reinforced concrete up to the level of the first floor.
Above the first floor the stair cases will be enclosed in concrete walls and the
stair cases will be of fireproof material. The rest of the building will be of
heavy frame construction plastered inside and outside on metal lath and with
galvanized iron window frame and tile roof, making very substantially con-
structed buildings with little or no risk by fire.
Beside these larger projects, there have been a large number of smaller
enterprises carried out by the Department, in the way of building temporary
and semi-permanent buildings, such as the Isolation Hospital at a cost of
$30,000; temporary Girls' High School at a cost of $25,500; Mission Emer-
gency Hospital at a cost of $5,500; Board of Health at a cost of $3,950; as
well as numerous repairs and alterations to the old frame school buildings,
made with a view of making them more easy of exit in case of fire or panic.
In comparison with other Departments of Architecture, whether of munici-
palities or of corporations, the work of the Department of Architecture has been
EEPOET OF CITY ARCHITECT 569
handled with great efficiency and economy. The drawings hare been thoroughly
gotten out at a cost which will show to the City a great saving over the work as
previously handled under other administrations. The accompanying table shows
the distribution of the expenses of the City Architect's office for the fiscal year,
with the expenses incurred in handling all of the various projects. This table
shows that the work of the office, not including inspection, has cost the City
.0307-)-, slightly over 3%, and including inspection .035-J-, or 3V2%. This
includes all salaries, rents, and expenses of any kind incurred by the Depart-
ment, whether they be out of the Bond Issue Funds or out of the General Tax
Levy, and is far less than the schedule of rates authorized by the American
Institute of Architecture.
NOTE. — The report was accompanied by photographs illustrative of the
work done by the Department. Many of these photographs have been repro-
duced and will be found in the ''Supplement to the Appendix" at the end of
this volume.

SIDE SEWER CONSTRUCTION.
The Bureau of Streets employed an average of fifty-three laborers on the
work of opening and restoration of the public streets for the construction of
side sewers.
These laborers also opened the streets for the laying of steam pipes, after
permission granted by the Board of Supervisors for the maintenance of these
pipes in the public streets.
The cost of this work is made a charge against the deposit moneys received
from property owners and others, and is not paid for out of municipal funds.
During the fiscal year 2,700 side sewers were constructed. The cost of
excavation and backfilling on this work amounted to $52,680. The cost of
repaving over the trenches amounted to $14,001. The total cost of the work
was $66,681.
BOARD OF PUBLIC WOBKS
HOUSE NUMBERING.
The demand on this Bureau for the furnishing of house numbers has in-
creased considerably over last year.
Property owners are becoming accustomed to the new regulation for house
numbering, which, is now based upon the front foot system, and makes pro-
vision for the allowance of full numbers generally on three-flat buildings, whereas
under the old ordinance fractional numbers were required on buildings of this
character.
By reason of numerous complaints received in this Bureau from the United
States Mail Department regarding confusion in the numbering of buildings in
the outlying districts, this Department has notified seven hundred and eighty
property owners to officially renumber their buildings.
The cause of this confusion arises on the part of some property owners
placing wrong numbers upon their buildings, as a result of guess work.
The following is a monthly tabulation of the work performed:

RESOLUTIONS OF INTENTION AND STREET WORK NOTICES.
During the year there were prepared 21 Resolutions of Intention recommend-
ing the ordering of street work. According to Section 3, Chapter 2, Article 6 of
the Charter, requiring that a copy of said resolution should be sent to each
person represented on the Assessment Roll as liable to be assessed for said
improvements, and that notices be posted along the line of said contemplated
improvements, the Bureau of Streets prepared and posted 1,714 "Notices of
Street Work" and obtained from the Assessor's Block books and the City
Directory the names and addresses of 3,845 persons liable for the cost of the
proposed street work and addressed and mailed copies of the Resolution of
Intention to each of them.

MUNICIPAL ASPHALT PLANT 607
The cost of office superintendence and inspection is no greater than when
the work was done under contract; therefore no note is taken of same.
Total square feet laid 593,696
Depreciation and interest 896.48
Cost per square foot to be added 0.0015
Cost per square foot laid 0.107
Total cost, inclusive of all accounts, per square foot 0.1085
This cost would have been much less were the initiative stages of the work
excluded. In the month of March, the first month wherein work was carried
on by the "Asphalt Plant," the cost averaged $.1552 per square foot, or prac-
tically 50% more than the average total cost for the year ending June 30th.
Under the existing requirements work has heretofore been carried on under
contract at an average cost to the City of 0.165 per square foot laid. This
shows a difference in favor of the Board of Public Works of .0565 per square
foot, and effects an approximate saving of $33,543.82 on the total number of
square feet paved, 593,696.

San Francisco, July 26, 1909.
To the Honorable, the Board of Public Works, of the City and County of San
Francisco :
I submit herewith the annual report of building operations of this Bureau
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909.
Character of Permits Granted. No. Amount.
Class "A" 23 $ 3,341,522.00

Repairs and Alterations 2,255 1,524,372.00
6,082 $29,611,626.00
The fees collected upon the above amounted to $51,381.00
Total number of applications filed 6,492
Total number of complaints filed 573
Total number of buildings razed 123
Total number of applications withdrawn 129
Buildings examined to be moved on public streets by rollers or truck 74
The operating expenses, consisting of salaries and supplies amounted to
$24,180, leaving a surplus of $27,201, which becomes part of the General Fund.
I found it necessary to disapprove about 75 per cent of the general appli-
cations filed for permits, until necessary corrections and changes were made to
comply with the building law.
The adoption of the "Tenement House Law" caused many rejections in the
applications, and also radical changes in proposed plans and specifications be-
fore permits were granted for their erection. In this class of building con-
siderable time is devoted to architects and owners on their preliminary sketches
and the interpretation of the various sections as applied to their particular
building, and this, together with the new law governing Nickelodeons, the in-
spection of lodging houses, hotels, apartments, etc., has added considerably to
the routine duties of the office and field force.
You will note that in general the building operations compare favorably
with those of the previous fiscal year, and which is considered a creditable
total of expenditures.
There have been no changes or improvements made for the Bureau beyond
a few minor partitions and desks.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN P. HORGAN, Chief Inspector.

REPORT
OF
Board of Trustees
OF THE
San Francisco Public Library
and Reading Room
FOR THE
Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1909
To the Honorable Edward Robeson Taylor, Mayor of the City
and County of San Francisco.
In accordance with the requirement of the Charter, the Board of Trustees
of the Public Library and Reading Rooms presents its report for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1909.
With 24,865 volumes added during the year, a record has been made which
has no parellel in the history of the library, either before or since the fire.
The number of volumes composing the library is now 75,667. The net increase in
the circulation is 143,529, which is a gratifying showing. While the circulation
per volume is high, San Francisc'o, holding the record for the year, still the per
capita circulation for a city of the size of San Francisco is low, as Librarian
William R. Watson points out in his very full and comprehensive report. The
press should be asked to occasionally report library news and indicate the loca-
tion of the main and branch libraries. Another means of encouraging the use
of books is through the public and private schools, which should be in receipt
of circulars explaining matters of detail, such as location of branches and deposit
stations, and new accessions.
The proposal of the Librarian to establish a down town book station, to
further the same end by making the use of the library books more convenient
for the public, is fully approved.
BRANCH LIBRARIES
For the fiscal year 1908-1909 the Board of Supervisors allowed an appro-
priation of $90,000. $17,000 of this amount was for the purchase of a lot
and the erection of a Branch Library Building for the Park district. With the
balance brought over from last year a lot was purchased on Page Street, near
Cole Street, for $7,000, and a building is now in the course of erection which
will cost, when equipped, about $30,000, which we can afford out of our savings.
The Branch Library rooms are all in good condition and well equipped
excepting the Richmond district' branch. This district should have better quar-
ters. From time to time the several branches should have their stock of books
PUBLIC LIBRARY 653
increased, especially in the matter of reference books. Students and others should
be encouraged to use the library reading rooms near their homes.
During the year a Branch Library was opened at 1457 Powell Street, near
Yallejo Street, to take the place of the North Beach Branch destroyed by fire
of 1906.
The Mission Branch was removed from 3322 Twenty-third Street to 1207
Valencia Street into new and commodious quarters built expressly for the
Library.
Two stations were opened — one in Visitacion Valley and one in Glen Park.
The Main Library has now five Branch Libraries, and one in the course of
erection, and eight stations. A number of districts in the City have applied
for stations, but the Library having received the minimum appropriation allowed
by the Charter, it will not be possible to extend the Library service during
the year.
The Library is indebted to the Park Commission for parking the grounds
surrounding the Main Library, Hayes and Franklin Streets, and to the Board
of Supervisors for allowing the money, and to the Board of Public Works for
employing it wisely in laying a much-needed sidewalk around the entire Library
block.
CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
The Trustees had, long before the adoption of the Charter, voluntarily
established and enforced a Civil Service system for the selection of employes.
Twenty-one persons took the examination in February, of which eight qualified,
and these have been employed either permanently, filling vacancies, or as sub-
stitutes.
LIBRARY BONDS
The Trustees again urge the desirability of erecting the main library build-
ing fo be paid for out of the proceeds of existing authorized bonds or by a new
issue. Private contributions will aid principally in the erection of branch build-
ings when once a policy is determined.
During the year a proposal to create a civic center at the junction of Van
Ness Avenue and Market Street, involving the purchase of four blocks of land,
which, with the library block, would make five, did not receive the necessary
two-thirds vote, but did in a poll of 23,308 votes receive 2,300 majority, which
justifies its resubmission. In the event of a favorable vote, a City Hall and
Library, suitably located within the civic center space, could be constructed
at once.
STATUS OF LIBRARY BONDS
At a special election held on September 29, 1903, Library Bonds to the
amount of $1,647,000 were authorized for issuance by the electors by a vote
of 18,775 in favor to 7,411 against, the total vote cast on all propositions at
the election being 27,308, two-thirds of which were necessary to carry any
propositions submitted at that time.
The bonds run for 40 years and bear 3 l/z per cent interest and are serials,
that is, one-fortieth is redeemable annually.
The $1,647,000 was intended to cover a building of the value of $1,000,000,
and the cost of the acquisition of the lands amounting to $647,000.
The authorized issue, to-wit, $1,647,000, not being, however, an exact
multiple of the number of series, that is, 40, only $1,644,000 were ordered
printed. Of this amount the first 18 series or $739,800 were sold on November
28, 1904, among other bonds to a syndicate of local banks, pursuant to the
bid of syndicate filed with the Board of Supervisors on November 21, 1904.
There has been expended out of this sum of $739,800 the sum of $616,302.12
as hereinafter detailed, leaving at credit July 1, 1909, the sum of $123,497.88.
The following table shows this detailed in more concise form:

The Board of Supervisors recently ordered the cancellation of unsold bonds
for streets, sewers and hospital, for which new bonds at 5 per cent had boen
voted, but excepted the Library bonds as above, and they are allowed to stand.
The sale of the new 5 per cent bonds was made on a basis of about 4 ppr
cent to the buyer. In order to sell the 3V2 per cent bonds, which, under the
charter, cannot be sold for less than par, it would be necessary to raise a fund
to compensate the buyers for the difference between 3 Vz per cent and 4 per
cent. This has been done in the matter of street paving bonds.
DEATH OF TRUSTEE LILIENTHAL
The sad and tragic death of our colleague, Philip Lilienthal, occurred Sep-
tember 9, 1908, and the Board passed resolutions expressive of the public
loss sustained by the community, and the personal bereavement felt by its
members.
On September 15, 1908, Justice M. C. Sloss was elected by the Trustees
to fill the vacancy.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES D. PHELAN,
President.

Report of the Librarian
To the Trustees of the Public Library and Reading Rooms of the
City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit herewith the report of the Librarian
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909.
The year just ended has been marked by a rapid increase of the activities
of the Library in nearly every department. The prediction made in my last
report that the Open Shelf and Reference Rooms would soon be too small to
accommodate the patrons of the Library proved to be only too correct. During
the winter months both rooms were crowded, for the most part by men, and at
times people were seated on the ledges all around the room. Under such condi-
tions it is almost impossible to keep the atmosphere of the rooms either healthful
or comfortable, to say nothing of the difficulty of serving our patrons promptly
and efficiently.
Two stories of the bookstack were installed when the building was erected,
and these are both nearly filled. While the funds for the coining, year will not
permit the erection of the third story, which is the last that can be added, the
matter can not be delayed longer than this year if we are to continue adding
to our collection. The problem of space for the Main Library is a very serious
and urgent one, a problem that must be met and solved in the very near future.
Additional tables and chairs have been placed in both the Open Shelf and
Reference Rooms until there is no more available space.
On windy days in winter and spring considerable difficulty was experienced
in keeping the lobby and the space around the loan desk at a comfortable
temperature. The open space over the desk causes a very strong upward draught
which is exceedingly trying to those who are obliged to stand in it for any
length of time. Before the advent of another winter it would seem advisable
to either close this opening in some way, or to adjust the doors so that they
can not be held open by the force of the wind.
ACCESSIONS
The Library has established a new record for itself in the number of
volumes added during the year. So far as can be ascertained from previous
reports the greatest increase in any one year was in 1906-07, when 22,377
volumes were added, while this past year shows a total of 24,865 volumes.
Deducting from this the 3,624 volumes which were condemned and withdrawn,
we have a net increase of 21,241 volumes. On June 30, 1909, there were 75,667
volumes in the Library, so that last year's additions constitute more than one-
quarter of the entire collection.
The expenditure during the year for books was $22,783.06, and for periodi-
cals $1,763.07, making a total of $24,546.13, and the advantageous rates secured
by the Library insured our receiving the full value of the money. A compari-
son with library discounts allowed in the East shows that we have as low or
lower rates than most other libraries, notwithstanding our great distance from
the publishing centers.
Three firms submitted bids for supplying American publications for the coin-
ing year, and the contract was again awarded to the Emporium on even more
favorable terms than those previously in force. In nearly every instance, ex-
cept in the case of a few special net books, we receive a discount of 25 per cent
on net publications over a year old, and 40 per cent on fiction over a year old.
On new publications we receive the customary 10 per cent on net books and
33 1-3 per cent on fiction in the majority of cases.
PUBLIC LIBRARY
659
In addition to purchases through the regular channels many volumes were
secured from second hand dealers and remainder sales at very favorable prices.
A number of gifts of books and music were received during the year, and a
large number of government documents were forwarded from Washington. To
Mrs. W. H. Crocker we are indebted for a gift of $100 for the purchase of
music, and to Mrs. W. B. Bourne for a gift of $25 for the same purpose.
PRINTING AND BINDING
In addition to the regular monthly Bulletin there were issued the Manual
of the Public Library; Rules for Library Service; Rules for Employes, and a
sixteen page finding list of the music collection.
There were 8,636 volumes sent to the bindery, an increase of 1,002 volumes
over the previous year. Considering the very heavy use to which our books are
subjected, this is by no means an extraordinarily large number. We must expect
an increase in the number of volumes to be rebound to correspond with the
increase in our circulation.
The principal material used in the rebinding of fiction and other popular
books is buffing. While this is not a very desirable leather for general use,
on rebound books it usually lasts as long as the book itself, and it is much less
expensive than an unsplit skin.
Before books are sent to be rebound they are inspected by the book repairer,
and in this way the number sent is kept down to as low a figure as possible.
There were 3,624 volumes worn out and discarded, and in this matter we
have been, if anything, too conservative on account of the great demand for
books and the limited number available.
CIRCULATION
Last year's report showed an increase in the circulation over the previous
year of 115,791 volumes, or 33 per cent. The year just ended shows a total
circulation of 608,966 volumes, an increase over last year of 143,529, or nearly
31 per cent.
These figures are rather remarkable when we take into consideration the
comparatively small number of volumes in the Library. As we had at the end
of the year, all told, only 75,667 volumes, each book has been loaned during
the past year an average of 8 times, as compared with an average of 8.6 times
for the previous year. This record is far above the average of public libraries
and illustrates very forcibly our need of a much larger stock of books.
The increase in circulation was distributed as follows:

660 PUBLIC LIBRARY
The falling off at Branch No. 2 was undoubtedly due to the fact that for
eight months of the previous year the books of the Main Library were circu-
lated from this Branch, thus increasing its circulation above the normal.
The circulation of Branch No. 6 was affected to a certain degree by the
opening of the Main Library in its present quarters, and the opening of Branch
No. 3 in the North Beach district also drew some borrowers from Branch No. 6.
Although our circulation per volume is exceptionally high, our circulation
per capita is very low, as compared with similar institutions in other cities.
Assuming that our population at the present time is 507,301, the estimate based
on the 1908 directory, our circulation per capita is only 1.2. This is largely
due to the fact that our supply of books is still so limited. Using the same
estimate of population as a basis, the number of volumes in the Library per
capita is only .15, less than one-third the proportion in most large cities.
Formerly special cards were issued to teachers permitting those in high
schools to take out 25 volumes and those in the grades 10 volumes at a time for
class use. Owing to the limited number of books this practice has not been in
force since the fire, but in view of the great advantage of such arrangement
to both teachers and pupils I believe it would be advisable to renew the
privilege.
REFERENCE DEPARTMENT
This department has had a very busy year, and while we have been much
better equipped to answer the demands for information than was the case
during the previous year, there are yet many embarrassing gaps in our collection
to be filled before we can give the service which should be available in a city
of this size.
During the winter months especially the room was so crowded with readers
that the table space was inadequate. A great many high school students have
availed themselves of the resources of this department in preparing for debates,
and we expect a steady increase in the demand for books dealing with the ques-
tions of the day. Numerous requests for information have been received and
answered over the telephone, and lists on various subjects have been prepared.
Our newspapers are in constant use as well as the current periodicals, which
are now provided with adjustable covers. Many books of a strictly reference
nature, such as dictionaries of various languages, bibliographies, compendiums,
government publications, etc., have been added to the collection and have proved
very useful.
The public for the most part has realized that the loss of practically the
entire library cannot be replaced in a few years, and instances of impatience
with our limited resources are rare.
CATALOGUE DEPARTMENT
Owing to the large number of books purchased during the year this depart-
ment has been overcrowded with work. The analytical cards issued by the
American Library Association Publishing Board were purchased in all cases
where we could utilize them, and the Library of Congress .cards were used
wherever possible, but there still remained a great many volumes for which the
cards had to be written on the typewriter. There are only two typewriters for
the use of the department, and many times another machine would be a great
advantage.
It has been necessary to add new c.ases to provide for the increase of
the size of the official catalogue, and likewise of the public catalogue. In several
of the branches it also became imperative to substitute cases of larger capacity.
In order to still further guard our books from misappropriation, a press-
has been purchased which prints and indents the name of the Library on the
PUBLIC LIBRARY 661
cover of each volume, so that in order to destroy the marks of ownership the
book must now be thoroughly disfigured.
The principal change in the personnel of this department has been the
transfer of Miss Goldman to the position of librarian of the Branch on Page
Street and the appointment of Miss Hyde in her place.
BRANCHES
The quarters occupied by Branch No. 1 at 3322 Twenty-third Street, in the
Mission district, were acquired hurriedly after the fire on account of being forced
to move from the former location on Mission Street. The accommodations here
were never entirely adequate or satisfactory, and a long continued search was
made for suitable quarters in the near vicinity but without success. Nothing
could be found that answered all the requirements and rents were high. An
arrangement was finally made with the owner of a lot on Valencia Street near
Twenty-third Street, whereby he agreed to erect such a building as was desired
on condition that a lease should be signed for a term of five years. This offer
was accepted and plans were drawn for a building which should be roomy, light
and adequate to meet the needs of the public.
The building, which is a one story brick structure, is 40 by 100 feet and
consists of one large room with a partition fifteen feet from the rear to provide
a work room. Practically the entire front of the building, which faces south,
is of glass, luxfer prisms being used above the doorway and windows. The
upper half of the partition at the rear of the room is of glass in order to take
advantage of the light from the rear windows, and in addition there are two
large skylights which contribute greatly to the illumination of the room. The
contrast in the lighting between this building and the one occupied on Twenty-
third Street is most marked. Ample provision has been made for artificial light
also, and the patrons of this Branch will now be able to read with ease and com-
fort at any time of day.
The corner of the room reserved for the children is convenient to the loan
desk and is separated from the main passageway by low shelving. This gives
something of the effect of a separate room without interfering with the light or
the supervision. The loan desk is placed against one of the side walls about
midway of the length of the room and commands an unobstructed view. Extend-
ing from immediately in front of the desk to the door two sections of low
shelving, three feet high, form a passage way through which the public passes
directly to the desk before gaining access to the books. There are 11 tables for
readers, three of which are for the children, giving a total seating capacity of
108. The new quarters are much superior to any ever before occupied in this
district, and will undoubtedly be greatly appreciated by the patrons of this
Branch. Owing to the fact that the shelving had to be removed from the old
quarters and installed in the new, it became necessary to close the Branch for
a few days, but any inconvenience caused the patrons will be more than offset
by the superior accommodations of the new location. The wonder is that so
many people patronized the Branch before when the light was so poor and the
room so crowded. In spite of these drawbacks there was an increase in the
circulation, the total for the year being 136,456, and had it not been necessary
to close the Branch the last three days of June these figures would have been
increased by at least 1,000. This coming year will undoubtedly show a sub-
stantial increase in the use of this Branch, and it will be possible to give a better
service than in the old location.
During the year 1,680 volumes were added and 1,213 withdrawn, leaving a
net gain of 467 and a total of 9,565. On an average each volume in the Branch
collection circulated 14 times.
At Branch No. 2, the McCreery Branch, a much needed improvement has been
made whereby the large skylight over the desk can be readily cleaned or repaired.
662 PUBLIC LIBRARY
The glass had become very dingy and some of the panes were loose, but there
was practically no way of getting at them. This defect has now been remedied,
greatly improving the appearance of the building and increasing the amount of
light received. This Branch circulated 96,383 volumes, a decrease of 8,045, as
compared with the preceding year, but this is a comparatively small loss if we
take into consideration the fact that over eight months of the previous year's
record was based on the joint use of the Branch and Main collections.
There were 1,394 volumes added and 572 withdrawn, leaving a net gain of
822 and a total of 7,392. On an average each volume in the Branch collection
circulated 13 times.
At the date of my last report provision had been made for securing quarters
in which to reopen Branch No. 3 in the North Beach district, but the building
was still under construction and was not ready for occupancy until November.
By arrangement with the owner the building was constructed with special
reference to our needs, and as a result we have very comfortable and attractive
quarters at almost the same spot occupied before the fire. Abundant light is
secured from the windows at front and rear and from the skylights. The walls
afford ample shelf room and the nine tables have a seating capacity of 92. There
is a good sized work room, and a basement sufficiently large to permit the use
of a furnace for heating purposes.
The loan desk is placed about the center of the room, and a railing on each
side of the passageway from the entrance makes it necessary for everyone to
pass the desk when entering or leaving the Library.
The quarters are much superior to those formerly occupied in this district,
and are greatly appreciated by the public.
The Branch was opened on the 4th of November, and the circulation for
the eight months of the year was 27,371. At the date of opening there were
about 1,610 volumes on the shelves and there are now 2,718 volumes. On an
average each volume in the Branch collection circulated nine times. There is
a large foreign population tributary to this Branch, especially of the Latin races,
and books in Italian and Spanish have been placed here for their use.
It is only a question of a short time until we shall be obliged to provide
larger quarters for Branch No. 4 in the Richmond district. Although it is open
only a part of the day, except on Saturdays, the circulation has increased
steadily and the room is already crowded. As this section of the city has
increased in population the Branch has increased in popularity, and is in need
of more books and the space to put them. The circulation was 57,882, an
increase of 7,851 over the previous year. On an average each volume in the
Branch collection circulated 14 times, the same record made at Branch No. 1.
There were 1,021 volumes added and 394 withdrawn, leaving a net gain of 627
and a total of 4,011.
The crowded condition at Branch No. 6 on Sacramento Street made it
necessary to put in additional shelving, and this has given some relief. This
shelving is only three and one-half feet high, and the back of it forms one side
of the passageway from the door to the loan desk, taking the place of the
railing formerly used. On account of being so low and- difficult of access for
adults these shelves have been used for the juvenile books.
The circulation was 111,543, a decrease of 8,896 from the previous year,
but as has been explained elsewhere, this decrease was due to the opening of
Branch No. 3, and to the fact that the Main Library attracted a good many
former patrons of Branch No. 6. On an average each volume in the Branch
collection circulated 13 times.
There were 1,690 volumes added and 920 withdrawn, leaving a net gain of
770 and a total of 8,713.
This Branch still appears on our official records as the Fillmore Street
Branch, and as it has not been located on Fillmore Street for some years, it
would seem advisable to change the designation.
PUBLIC LIBRARY 663
The increased appropriation for the year was granted with the understanding
that a branch building would be erected in what is known as the Panhandle
district. In accordance with this provision a lot 50 by 155 on Page Street near
Cole Street was purchased for $7.040, and plans for a building to cost approxi-
mately $30,000 were prepared by McDougall Bros.
It was hoped that the building might be completed and opened to the
public before the close of this fiscal year, but there was considerable unavoidable
delay on account of the exceptionally wet weather and because seepage water
was encountered in excavating. In order to insure a perfectly dry basement
drains had to be constructed and other measures taken which caused an unfore-
seen loss of time. The building at the present time is well on toward comple-
tion, and may be ready for occupancy the latter part of August.
The building, which is approximately 40 by 100 feet in size, is a one story
and basement structure and is built of brick. The main floor has no partitions,
but low shelving serves to shut off the children's corner from the rest of the
room. The windows are placed high enough to admit of putting wall shelving
all around the room except in front. Special attention was paid to the matter
of securing ample light. The building was set back 30 feet from the line so
that the windows toward the rear are entirely unobstructed by adjoining build-
ings. In addition to the windows in the wall there are two large skylights, so
that there is an abundance of natural light in all parts of the room. The loan
desk is placed against one of the side walls, as at Branch No. 1, and com-
mands a view of all parts of the room. The passageway from the door is also
arranged as at Branch No. 1, so that all persons entering or leaving the library
have to pass by the desk.
Provision has been made for 17 tables, with a seating capacity of 136.
A stairway back of the desk gives easy access to the basement, which will
contain the heating plant, work room, etc.
This is a very populous district of the city and one which has never before
been provided with adequate library facilities, and the Branch will undoubtedly
be well patronized.
This will make the third branch building owned by the Library and the
sixth branch in operation, equalling the number which were in operation before
the fire.
DEPOSIT STATIONS
The deposit stations, with two exceptions, have shown very substantial
gains in circulation, Station A leading with an increase of 2,328, and Station G
standing at the other extreme with a loss of 232. Two new stations were opened
in September, Station F at Glen Park and Station H at Visitacion Valley. The
former has made an exceptionally good showing, with a circulation of 5,051 for
the ten months.
Whenever our funds will permit of it additional stations should be opened
in districts remote from library facilities.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In previous reports mention has been made of the services of Mr. Julius
Weber in building up the music section of the Library. The year just ended
has seen no diminution of the zeal and enthusiasm with which he has entered
into his work, and only those in a position to know can realize how much time
and energy he has devoted to it, and how great have been the results. He has
communicated with hundreds of musicians in all parts of the country in the
interests of the Library; he has given freely of his time and energy in the
selection of books and music, and in the sorting and arrangement of music for
664 PUBLIC LIBRARY
the binder; he has not only incited others to contribute to the Library, but he
has himself given a valuable collection of music.
Mr. Weber's labors to develop this department have been of the greatest
value to the Library, and we become more deeply indebted to him year by year.
Through the courtesy of President P. C. Burk, of the State Normal School,
several of the instructors and students have conducted a story hour for children
at the Main Library and two of the branches. The point in telling stories to
the children is not merely to amuse them, but to arouse their interest and lead
them to read the books themselves. In this way it is possible to influence their
reading by creating a taste for books which they would otherwise never consider.
Owing to limited funds it has been impossible to provide as many copies of the
books containing the stories as are desirable, but an increase in the use of the
books we have has been reported.
We are greatly indebted to President Burk, and to the young ladies who
have so faithfully and generously given their time and energy to this work.
SUMMARY
With the $83,789.75 which was expended we have purchased a lot for
Branch No. 5 for $7,040 and made partial payments on the building to the
extent of $8,480. We have maintained the Main Library, five branches (one
for eight months only) and eight deposit stations (two for ten months only),
circulating 606,966 volumes, issuing 19,006 cards, subscribing to 513 periodi-
cals (including duplicate copies), adding 24,865 volumes, sending 8,636 volumes
to the bindery and furnishing Branch No. 3.
The Main Library and four Branches were open twelve hours a day except
Sundays, when they were open three and a half hours, and the other branch
an average of seven and a half hours a day except Sundays, when it was open
three and a half hours. Sunday opening in every case included the circulation
of books.
The work has been accomplished with a staff averaging the full time of 42
people, exclusive of deposit station keepers and janitorial service.
In comparison with the figures for 1908 of the public libraries of the 21
cities of the United States having a population of 300,000 and upward, accord-
ing to the estimate in the World Almanac for 1909, this Library ranks as fol-
lows on the basis of the record for the year just ended:
Twenty-first in total number of volumes.
First in circulation per volume.
Seventeenth in circulation per capita.
Seventeenth in total circulation.
Twentieth in total registration.
Twentieth in number of employes.
Fifteenth in total income received (out of 19 reporting).
Twelfth in amount expended for books, periodicals and binding.
Seventeenth in amount expended for salaries.
Eighteenth in amount expended for other operating expenses.
Seventeenth in amount expended for total of all regular expenses.
NEEDS OF THE LIBRARY
In his report last year the President of the Board called attention to the
urgent need of making provision for the ei'ection of an adequate and suitable
library building. The year just passed has served to emphasize that need and
PUBLIC LIBRARY 665
to indicate in some slight degree the difficulties by which we shall be beset
before such a building can by any possibility be provided. As stated in my
previous report the present building serves admirably for temporary quarters,
but we have already outgrown it in some departments-.
We need more books. Of the public libraries in the 21 largest cities of
the United States this Library ranks twenty-first in the number of volumes it
contains and seventeenth in the number of volumes circulated. While we have
added a very large number of books during the past year in proportion to our
income, the supply is totally inadequate for a city of this size. Unfortunately
our appropriation for the coming year is too small to permit of increasing
the collection very greatly. The constant use of the books we have wears them
out quickly and necessitates a large expenditure merely for replacement copies.
We need printed finding lists of the books in the library. For those who
know just what they want, nothing is more satisfactory than the card catalogue.
A great many people, however, merely wish to find something interesting to
read, and to them the card catalogue is of comparatively little use ; they require
printed lists of the books in the various classes so that they can see quickly, or
at their leisure in their homes, what the Library contains which is of interest
to them.
These lists would also be of very great service in increasing the usefulness
of our branches and deposit stations by making it possible for their patrons to
learn what books could be obtained from the Main Library. At present there
is no means of ascertaining this except through the card catalogues which are
kept at the Main Library. There is no doubt that finding lists, especially of
the more popular classes of literature, would do much to increase the use of
the books by spreading a knowledge of what the Library contains.
We need a down town call station. Thousands of people are employed
down town all day who would be glad to use the Library if it were only more
accessible to them, but as it is approximately a mile and a quarter from the
center of the business district at Kearny and Market Streets to the Main
Library, which is nearer than any branch or deposit station, the distance is too
great to make it practicable for most of these people to go to the Library at
the lunch hour or after working hours. Some of them doubtless go in the
evening, but many others would not make a trip which might require an outlay
.of considerable time, energy and carfare.
In the opinion of your librarian there should be established in the down
town district at the earliest opportunity a call station with at least two daily
deliveries. We should in this way be able to reach thousands of people who
could leave their order slips in the morning and receive the books at night
before going home from work.
We need a larger appropriation in order to properly maintain and extend
the work. It is unfortunate that a reduction in the amount asked for had to
be made at a time when we are so greatly in need of additional funds to recoup
our losses.
Of the public libraries in the 21 cities of the United States having a popu-
lation of 300,000 and upward at the beginning of this year, according to the
estimates given by the World Almanac, all but six received a larger income than
this Library on the basis of our appropriation for 1908-09, which was the
largest ever made by the city, and about $20,000 more than we shall receive
this coming year.
Conditions in San Francisco are of course in a way abnormal at the present
time and the demands for funds for purposes of reconstruction are urgent, but
while comparisons with other institutions are liable to be misleading, it would
seem in view of the use that is made of the Librai'y and its economical adminis-
tration that the City should take a little higher rank in its liberality toward the
institution.
666 PUBLIC LIBRARY
THE STAFF
Three members of the staff resigned during the year to follow other pursuits
and five new members were appointed. There were in addition a number of part
time appointments, and various transfers of those already on the staff.
The Rules for Library Service were revised, and Rules for Employes com-
piled.
An examination of applicants for positions in the Library Service was held
in February and 21 candidates took the examination in literature. Of this
number 14 attained a mark which entitled them to take the examination in history
and current events, which all of them passed successfully. The four weeks
probationary test was taken by eight, the others finding it impossible or inadvis-
able to complete this part of the examination. Those who took the test com-
pleted it satisfactorily, and one has been appointed to a full time position, two
to part time positions and the others have all served as substitutes at various
times.
In conclusion I desire to commend the members of the staff for the faith-
ful performance of their duties, and to acknowledge my indebtedness to them
for their co-operation and assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. R. WATSON,
Librarian.

Board of Health Report
San Francisco, Cal., August 26, 1909.
Honorable E. R. Taylor, Mayor City and County San Francisco, Cal.
Sir: — In accordance with Section 9, Article XVI of the Charter of the
City and County of San Francisco, I have the honor to render a full report of
the operations of the Department of Public Health for the fiscal year ended
June 30th, 1909.
On November 30th, 3908, the headquarters of this Department, which, since
the 10th of July, 1906, had been located in three election booths and a tem-
porary building on the Hamilton School lot, was removed to its present quarters
in the three-story and basement brick building at 1085 Mission Street, opposite
the Postoffice, and which has been leased at a monthly rental of $200. A ware-
house for the storage of disinfectants and other materials has been constructed
on a lot extending from the rear of the main building to Minna Street, for which
the City pays a monthly ground rental of $30. The total cost of ' improvements
was .$5417.14, of which $949.37 was spent for furniture.
On the first floor is located the Bureau of Information, Mortuary, Statistical,
Special Sanitation, Auditing and Executive Departments.
The Mortuary Department issues permits for burial of bodies and cremation,
permits for dmnterments and removal of bodies. In this division is kept dupli-
<-;ite record of deaths occurring in the City and County, and of deaths outside
of San Francisco where exchange of burial permits are made. Here also are
kept the death records saved from the fire of 1906.
In tho Statistical Department are kept the birth certificates from which the
monthly bulletin of Vital Statistics is compiled. Health reports from nearly
i-vtry city in the United States and the principal cities of the world are filed
here for reference.
The Department of Special Sanitation is devoted to the handling of supplies
used in anti-plague measures by the United States Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service.
The Auditing Office has charge of the supplies and accounts of all institu-
tions under the control of this Department.
The Executive Office supervises all correspondence pertaining to the Depart-
ment. In this office is established a filing system, which, after investigating
various methods, has been patterned after that used by the Postoffice Department.
On the second floor is located the meeting room of the Board and the Bureau
of Sanitation, which embraces the Dairy, Food, Industrial, Market, Plumbing
and Sanitary Divisions under charge of the Chief Sanitary Officer. Here also
are held examinations of applicants for Master Plumbers' licenses.
The third floor is devoted to the Chemical and Bacteriological Laboratories.
On January 1st, 1009, the term of Mr. John P. McLaughlin as a member
of the Board of Health expired and Mr. James W. Mullen was appointed as his
successor. At a meeting of the Board of Health held on January llth, 1909,
Dr. William Ophuls was reappointed President and the members of the' Board
were thereupon assigned to the following committees:
Building Committee — Mr. Wilson, Chairman ; Mr. Mullen and Dr. Huntington.
Finance Committee — Mr. Bullard, Chairman; Mr. Mullen.
Hospital Committee — Dr. Huntington, Chairman; Mr. Bullard and Dr.
Manning.
Sanitation Committee — Dr. Manning, Chairman; Messrs. Hillyer and Wilson.
Legislation Committee— Mr. Hillyer, Chairman; Dr. Manning.
674 BOARD OF HEALTH
During the year the measures for the eradication of plague, which were
inaugurated in September, 1907, have been vigorously continued by the United
States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service under the guidance of Surgeon
Rupert Blue. Some idea of the magnitude of this work may be obtained from
the folloAving figures:
2.145.871 poisons were placed and 5,839 dead rats were found. 96,700
rats and 6,623 mice were trapped. There were 267,955 inspections made;
29,938 nuisances abated; 9,362 garbage cans installed; 1,302 premises cleared
of rubbish, and 1,677 vessels inspected. The wooden planking of 1,081 floors,
570 passageways and 503 yards were removed and replaced with concrete or
left bare. In destroying 18,404 rat harbors it is estimated that 3,570,933 square
feet have been covered with concrete.
Special attention has been given to the enforcement of the building law
requiring the ground area of new premises to be concreted, and prohibiting
board walks or planked yards.
The Board of Health met every week to consider complaints against insani-
tary premises in which resistance had been offered. The following is a synopsis
of this work:

Total 564 181 474 271
The Board of Health has been restrained in twenty-three cases which have
been referred to the City Attorney. The ease with which a restraining order
is obtained and the delay which ensues before such cases are heard has been
a serious obstacle to the work of this Department in eradicating plague.
The last case of human plague in this City sickened on January 30th, 1908.
The dead have been inspected by the Federal Health authorities, the total number
for the year being 5,998 ; of these four, whose death were suspicious, were
autopsied and the Bacteriological examination proved negative of plague.
Rats infected with plague were found as follows :
1 taken from the Depew warehouse, Third and Channel Streets, July 25,
1908.
1 taken from the same locality on August 4, 1908.
1 taken from the California warehouse, 631 Second Street, October 2, 1908.
1 taken from the same location on October 30, 1908.
The United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service has demon-
strated during the past year the existence of a plague epizootic among ground
squirrels in Contra Costa County, an infected ground squirrel having been found
during August, 1908, on a ranch near Concord, where a boy, during the previous
month, had died of this disease. The Federal Health authorities have examined
several thousand ground squirrels, of which thirty-eight have been found to be
infected.
Constant vigilance will be necessary to prevent the recurrence of plague in
this City. "With this end in view an ordinance prohibiting the importation and
sale of around squirrels in the City and County of San Francisco has been passed

All the inspectors of the Department of Public Health, with the exception of
ihe Sanitary Officers, have been uniformed.
BOARD OF HEALTH (>7o
During the month of February, 3909, Police Officer Rice was assigned to
the work of inspecting street cars. Each car is now swept daily before leaving
the barn and is washed and disinfected at least once a week. This work has
well organized by Officer Rice, whose report will be found on page 688.
DIVISION OF DAIRY INSPECTION.
On February 21st, 1909, a new ordinance providing for the inspection of
dairies and of sending milk into the City and County of San Francisco went
into effect. Veterinary Surgeon Chester L. Roadhouse, a graduate of Cornell
University, who has given particular attention to the study of dairy sanitation,
was. upon, the recommendation of the Milk Improvement Association, who pays
his salary, appointed Chief Dairy Inspector.
There are thirty-one dairies producing milk within the City and County of
San Francisco and about 120 dairies in the adjacent counties shipping milk into
this County. This does not include the dairies furnishing milk for the cream
supply of this City, the number of which is estimated to exceed 500. The im-
provement in the milk supply of this City is in great part due to the work of
the Milk Improvement Association, which was originated at the instance of the
California Club by delegates from various organizations. Mr. W. E. Moore,
Secretary of the Milk Dealers' Association, also acts as Secretary of the Milk
Improvement Association. The Health Officer is a member of the Executive
Committee, which holds its meetings in the Board room of the Department of
Public Health. The object of this excellent organization is the improvement of
the milk supply of this City, and in this work it is securing the co-operation
of the better class of milk producers and distributors, many of whom have con-
tributed to the fund raised by this Association for the employment of a qualified
dairy inspector.
The new dairy ordinance established the grade of certified milk, the pro-
duction of which is by law under the control of a Milk Commission, consisting
of seven people appointed by the County Medical Society of San Francisco
organized under a charter by the Medical Society of the State of California.
Certified milk is milk produced from cows free from tuberculosis or other disease
and which is handled under cleanly conditions. The milk is poured into a
sterile bottle, closed with a cap bearing the day of delivery, sealed with paraffine,
and the certificate of the Medical Milk Commission placed over the same. This
milk is kept on ice until it reaches the consumer. There are about 1,300 quarts
of certified milk being sold in San Francisco at the present time. Owing to the
price of certified milk, due to the extra cost of production, the use of same will
be chiefly as a food for babies and invalids.
There is need for the establishment of a second grade of milk to be known
as "inspected milk." -which shall be clean raw milk from healthy cows as
determined by the tuberculin test and physical examination by the Dairy Veterina-
rian; the cows to be fed, watered, housed and milked under good conditions, but
not necessarily as stringent as those required for the production of certified
milk. The milk would be delivered in sterilized containers, to be kept at a
temperature not exceeding 50 degrees Fahrenheit until it reaches the consumer;
fiirther, not to contain more than 100,000 bacteria per c. c. Inspected milk
could be produced at moderate price within the reach of all.
On April 17th, 1909, an ordinance was passed abolishing the two cow limit
in the City and County of San Francisco on and after the first of January, 1910,
and requiring that not more than two cows to the acre would be maintained in
the City and County after that date.
On page 703 will be found the report of the Chief Dairy Inspector.
BOARD OF HEALTH
DIVISION OF MEDICAL SCHOOL INSPECTION.
For the first time the Board of Supervisors authorized in the annual budget
of 1908-09 the employment of one medical inspector and four school nurses.
Dr. C. R. Bricca. a specialist in the ear, eye, nose and throat, was made medical
inspector, and upon the recommendation of the Associated Charities, the Tele-
graph Hill Settlement and other philanthropic organizations, the following were
appointed school nurses: Miss Edith Flynn, Miss Josephine Graham, Miss
Katherine Shane and Miss Katherine Wynne. It being manifestly impossible
to properly inspect with such a small force the 49,520 pupils in the 93 schools,
it was decided to assign the nurses to those sections whose school children were
relatively in the worse hygienic condition. The four following districts were
established :
1. North Beach District, including the Washington Irving, Garfield, Cooper,
Yerba Buena, Jean Parker and Hancock Schools, with an enrollment of 2,718
pupils.
.2 Mission District, composed of Haight, Agassiz, Bryant, Columbia and
Starr King Schools, having an enrollment of 3,205 pupils.
3. The Potrero District, covering the Burnett, Bay View, Irving Scott,
Visitacion Valley, South End and Buena Vista Schools, having an enrollment
of 2,831 pupils.
4. The Bernal Heights District, composed of the Holly Park and Bernal
Heights Grammar School, having an enrollment of 1,266 pupils.
By this method 19 schools only, having an enrollment of 10,300 pupils, were
placed under medical inspection.
The school nurse devotes a portion of each day to a school, examining those
children \vho are referred to her by the principal, attending to simple ailments,
such as abrasions, ringworm, impetigo, vermin, etc., and making notes of those
casrs which require the attention of the Medical Inspector. She also visits the
homes of the school children and advises the mother of the importance in having
the ailments of the child properly attended to by the family physician. In
indigent cases she sees that the children are properly attended to in free clinics
and that worthy parents are assisted by the Associated Charities. Many cases
of unreported communicable diseases are brought to the attention of the Depart-
ment of Public Health as a result of the home visits of the school nurses and
contacts are thereby excluded from school.
Much attention has been given to the enforcement of the State Vaccination
Law. which requires that every person attending a public school shall show
evidence of having been successfully vaccinated. At the request of this Depart-
ment, the Board of Education adopted a new form of certificate which requires
the physician to certify that he examined the wound two weeks after vaccination
and that the same is successful. The vaccination of indigent children is per-
formed by the Medical School Inspector, and also by the City Physician at the
Central Emergency Hospital or by one of the assistant surgeons at the Potrero
and Mission Emergency Hospitals.
The importance to the public health of an honest interpretation of the
vaccination law was demonstrated by the discovery of eleven cases of smallpox
in a class-room of the Garfield Primary School, eight of whom had certificates
of vaccination signed by reputable physicians. Before the endemic was checked
29 cases of smallpox occurred.
Every Saturday morning a lecture on Medical School Inspection is given
l,v Dr. Bricca to the school nurses in the Board room of this Department.
BOARD OF HEALTH . (577
^\ 'hit;* enameled surgical dressing tables for emergency dressings have been
placed in some of the schools. Card index-boxes have been furnished each of
the nineteen schools wherein the physical examination and medical record of
each pupil is filed.
Since the appointment of Dr. N. K. Foster, formerly Secretary of the State
Board of Health, as Inspector of Schools for the City of Oakland, and of Dr.
Ernest Hoag to a similar position in Berkeley, it is hoped that a uniform system
of medical school inspection for the bay cities may be inaugurated.
On page 690 will be found the report of Medical School Inspector.
CHEMICAL LABORATORY.
The Chemical Laboratory has been situated in its new quarters since the
latter part of November, 1908, and is well equipped to handle the work assigned
to it, which at the present time consists chiefly of analysis of water, milk, meat
and miscellaneous substances furnished by contract, such as butter, baking-
powder, vinegar, sugar, syrups, and catsups, submitted by the institutions under
control of the Department of Public Health.
A competitive examination was held by this Department in September, 1908,
to fill the position of second assistant chemist.
8,412 samples of milk were analyzed during the year, of which 11% were
below standard — a material improvement over the year 1907-08, when 21%
were below the standard. The worst samples of milk were obtained from restau-
rants, stores and bakeries, next from the distributors and last from the pro-
ducers. By reason of the Supreme Court upholding the right of a municipality
to establish its own standard for milk an ordinance was passed making the
same after the first of April, 1909, 3.4% for milk fat and 8.5% for solids not fat.
Samples from each of the distributing reservoirs of the Spring Valley Water
Company an now taken at least twice each month. Numerous samples have
been taken from wells, the majority of which furnish water to dairies. These
analyses of well water usually show evidence of contamination. A pure food
ordinance, copied after the State Law, is now in course of preparation.
As the Chief Chemist is required to spend much of his time in the Police
Courts, this Department is endeavoring to have all health cases heard only on
certain days of the week.
On pan'e 712 will be found the report of the Chief Chemist.
B ACTERIOLOGICAL LABORATORY.
In December, 1908, the Bacteriological Laboratory was established in its
present quarters and was completely equipped for municipal health research
work. A separate house was built for guinea pigs and other animals used for
experimental work. During the year a card index system for all records in this
laboratory has been introduced. Printed blanks are supplied to inspectors and
physicians to furnish data required to accompany specimens and are pasted on
the reverse of the Record Cards, which in turn are numbered, the number as-
signed alone being used in labeling slides, cultures and specimens. Asphalt-
lined wooden containers, sterile swabs and y% gram shell vials with lancets have
been distributed to drug-stores that have applied for them, where they may be
obtained without cost by physicians. These are distributed to facilitate the
sending of specimens for examination to the Bacteriological Laboratory.
On pau'i- 738 is the annual report of the Bacteriologist.
678 BOAED OF HEALTH
BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
On October 25. 1908, as a result of advice received from the City Attorney,
this Department notified all registered physicians in the City and County of San
Francisco that on and after November 15, 1908, it would not accept for registra-
tion any certificate not filed within five days after birth. This ruling may work
hardship in some cases, but the law is clear and this Department is without
power to register any certificate of birth not filed within the time prescribed.
Although this practice has been in existence only about seven and a half months,
20% more births were recorded during this year than the year previous.
BUREAU OF ACCOUNTS.
The reorganization of the system of handling the finances of the Department
of Public Health, which was begun in March, 1908, was not completed until the
beginning of the present fiscal year.
All requisitions for supplies are now sent to the Bureau of Accounts where
a purchase order, specifiying the article, price of same, whether contract or non-
contract (in latter case at least three bids from reputable firms are obtained),
is made, and after approval by the Health Officer, the original is sent to the
firm supplying the goods; the duplicate copy is filed and the triplicate is sent
to the institution which is to receive the goods. The demand must be accom-
panied with the original order, with which it shall agree; and the employe
actually receiving the goods must vouch for the correctness in quality and
quantity of the articles received.
The auditor of this Department is now required to inspect the accounts of
the City and County Hospital, Emergency Hospitals, Isolation Hospital and the
Relief Home for the Aged and Infirm. To facilitate this work all institutions
will adopt, after July 1st, 1909, the same system of accounting as is now used
in the central office.
On page 797 is the financial statement of the Department of Public Health.
On page 800 is a monthly financial statement of the central office.
On page 801 is a tabulated report of Special Sanitation Fund expended in
conjunction with the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service.
EMERGENCY HOSPITALS.
There are five Emergency Hospitals.
The Central Emergency and Detention Hospital is still situated in Jefferson
Square. This temporary building, erected after the fire of April, 1906, is now
in urgent need of repairs, which the Board of Supervisors have been requested to
authorize.
The Harbor Emergency Hospital is maintained in a wooden building located
on the site of the proposed Ferry Annex, in which it is hoped the Harbor Com-
missioners will allow sufficient space for an Emergency Station on the water
front.
The Mission Emergency Hospital, opened on the first of April, 1909, is a
temporary structure built on the old City and County Hospital site.
The Park Emergency Hospital is maintained as an ambulance station in
charge of a hospital steward. Arrangements have been made whereby emergency
oases occurring in the Sunset or Richmond Districts requiring immediate atten-
tion of a doctor may be taken to the Hahnemann or University of California
Hospitals.
BOARD OF HEALTH 679
The Potrero Emergency Hospital is situated in a rented store which requires
renovating, but no improvements can be made until it is decided whether the
City will build an emergency station in this neighborhood.
In order that surgeons may accompany the emergency ambulances, the
position of interne, who serves without pay, has been created. Internes are
eligible for appointment as emergency surgeons when a vacancy occurs, which,
after July 1st, will be every three months.
It is proposed to have the ambulance drivers and hospital stewards when
attached to ambulances wear a uniform similar to that now worn by inspectors
of this Department.
On page 779 will be found the report of Chief Surgeon.
ISOLATION HOSPITAL.
The Isolation Hospital includes the Smallpox, Leper and Plague Depart-
ments under the management of Chief Surgeon O'Neill, who in addition examines
all cases of smallpox and chickenpox reported to the Department of Public
Health.
One of the notable events of the year was the completion of the new Small-
pox Hospital, which was formally opened by the Mayor and the Board of Health
on June 21st.
I regret to state that conditions existing in the Leper Hospital are as bad
as they were a year ago, due to the dilapidated condition of the building. These
unfortunate people who are compelled to pass the remainder of their lives in
confinement are the most deserving of our dependents and are entitled to better
treatment than has been accorded to them in the past. Plans are now being
prepared by City Architect Rixford for a Leper Hospital, built on the cottage
plan.
The Plague Hospital, although practically closed at the present time, is so
equipped as to be available at a moment's notice. One of the cottages has been
converted into a morgue, the building formerly used for that purpose on the old
City and County Hospital site having been destroyed. It has been recommended
to the Board of Supervisors that the property on which this hospital is situated
be purchased by the City.
The report of Chief Surgeon will be found on page 791.
THE CARE OF THE CITY'S SICK.
The City Physician is required to treat the indigent sick. He holds sick
call at the Central Emergency Hospital, where he examines physically all persons
requesting admission to a hospital or to the Relief Home for the Aged and Infirm.
In addition to these duties he is required to visit the City Prisons and the
County Jail.
The report of the City Physician will be found on page 794.
The City and County Hospital is maintained temporarily in buildings at
the Tngleside racetrack until the new municipal hospital, now being erected on
Potrero Avenue and Twenty-second Streets, is completed. Although these build-
ings, which were formerly used as stables, are unsuited for hospital purposes,
much has been done to improve general conditions. One building was remodeled
by the Associated Charities so as to accommodate seventy-five male tubercular
patients: a portion of another building was set aside for the accommodation of
thirteen female tubercular cases; the contagious pavilion has been enlarged:
cottages have been fitted up as quarters for nurses and orderlies, and the wards
have been connected by covered corridors ; the operating room has been more
6SO BOARD OF HEALTH
liberally equipped; a reference library for internes and nurses started, and the
control of the patients' food placed in the hands of a dietician. During the
past winter, despite the use of asphalt paint, many of the buildings leaked, and
it is imperative that the root's be made water-tight before the advent of the
rainy season.
On August 20, 1908, at the request of the Hospital Committee of the Board
of Health a meeting was held at which representatives of the visiting staff of
the City and County Hospital, of the Medical Profession at large, and of the
Associated Charities were present. This conference, after careful deliberation,
was of the opinion that acute cases should not be sent to the City and County
Hospital on account of its inaccessibility, poor condition of buildings and lack
of nurses. As a result of this meeting the Board of Supervisors was requested
to set aside a sum sufficient to send acute medical and surgical cases, maternity
cases and children to private hospitals, and thereupon $15,000 was appropriated.
A special rate of $10 per week for adults was obtained from the Hahnemann,
Lane and University of California Hospitals, and of $25 per month for children
from the Children's, Hahnemann and Lane Hospitals.
The financial condition of all applicants to the Department of Public Health
for admission to a hospital or to the Relief Home is investigated by Mrs. Newell,
the Inspector of Hospitals, who, by reason of long experience with the Associated
Charities, is well qualified to fill this position. By this means unworthy persons
are prevented from forcing themselves upon the City. Cases are referred to
societies who should provide for their sick, and non-residents are returned to
their homes.
City cases in private hospitals, with the exception of children, are trans-
ferred after thirty days to the City and County Hospital unless their condition
prevents removal.
On May 24th an ordinance was approved authorizing the collection of $15
per month for the maintenance and support of every poor, incompetent or in-
capacitated person or his relative who is able to pay for his support. This ordinance
was adopted in accordance with a State Statute approved March 2cl, 1901, which
provides for the maintenance and support of indigent, incompetent arid incapaci-
tated persons who become public charges and for the payment thereof into a
fund for the maintenance and support of such persons.
On page 742 will be found report of the Warden of the City and County
Hospital.
On page 767 will be found the report of the Inspector of Hospitals.
RELIEF HOME FOR AGED AND INFIRM.
The reinnforced concrete infirmary, with accommodations for 2.50 patients,
is now in coursn of erection and should be completed within eighteen months.
A better system for fire protection for the buildings has been installed.
During the past year a number of improvements have been made by inmate
labor, among which may be mentioned:
Reinforced concrete barn for accommodating thirty-six cows, all of which
have been tested for tuberculosis.
Reinforced concrete addition to the butcher shop for cold storage.
A five-room bungalow.
A glass hot-house.
Respectfully,
R. G. BRODRICK, Health Officer.
Report of the Bureau of Sanitation
WM. C. HASSLER, M. D., CHIEF SANITARY INSPECTOR.
I have the honor to submit the following report of work per-
formed by the various divisions under my supervision, and the Chemical and
Bacteriological Laboratory reports, for the fiscal year from July 1st, 1908, to
June 30th, 1909:
The Division of Sanitation during the year confined its work principally
to the investigation of contagious and infectious diseases, and in part to the
sanitary inspection of premises where application for pei'mits were made for
the erection of s'ables, in accordance with the provisions of Ordinances No. 334
and 345. The investigation of complaint nuisances were submitted to the Dis-
trict Commanders of the Special Sanitation force for the eradication of plague, as
in 1907-Ob.
The activity and energy with which both forces have prosecuted their work
during the past year has resulted in the bringing about of a condition of general
sanitation of dwellings, places of business, stables, areaways, factories, ware-
houses, and the like, to a point far beyond what was previously thought possible,
and the City's public work has also made great strides by the surveying, grading
and sewering of many streets in the outlying sections. Much still remains to
be done, especially in the following districts, to-wit : Between Army Street, San
Bruno Bond, County Line and Mission Street, a section that has grown rapidly
since the fire, and where one of the greatest needs exists, that of installing of
a sewer system, the main outlet of which would be in San Bruno Road with
tributaries reaching along the intersecting streets, that will make it possible
to carry householders' waste water away from their immediate premises.
On two occasions during the past year small epidemics of scarlet fever
occurred in this section which were undoubtedly primarily due to the cesspool
system of sewage disposal.
Another section of the City that needs immediate and urgent attention is
the so-called Sunset District. Here for years past the sewage from this section
has been conveyed by tributary sewers into one main located in H Street, which
empties into a cesspool within the confines of Golden Gate Park, at or near the
intersection of Nineteenth Avenue and H Street. From this cesspool the sewage
was disposed of, over an area of Golden Gate Park between the south drive and
H Street, west from Nineteenth Avenue. This is a serious menace to life and
health in a large city, particularly where conditions obtain as in San Francisco,
and more particularly when such sewage disposal occurs in a public park where
hundreds congregate and are subject to the action of infectious material carried
in the thus contaminated sands by the strong trade winds. That this contamina-
tion of the sandy soil which covers Golden Gate Park exists is shown by the
result of the recent examination of the Park water supply, which was found to
contain the Bacilli Coli Communis; nor is this the first time this result has been
demonstrated, but as the proper authorities are engaged in an effort to eliminate
this menace to the water supply, further comment thereon is unnecessary, except
to use as an emphasis for the needs of the immediate construction of the outlet
sewer contemplated on Forty-eighth Avenue, which shall extend to Baker's Beach
and for which bonds are already provided. This will then receive the sewage
from the H-Street sewer and also relieve the district known as Carville, and a
portion of the Parkside district.
682 BUREAU OF SANITATION
The next most important district that needs early attention is the section
of the City to the south of the City and County Hospital site, and hounded by
San Bruno Road on the north, Kentucky Street on the south, and between
Eighteenth and Twenty-fourth Streets. Here the hillsides have been thickly
setlled, in the main by a foreign population, who care little for sanitation even
when located so as to readily dispose of waste and sewage conveniently.
The soil in this section is mainly of rock formation that renders cesspools
impracticable because seepage into the deeper strata is impossible, hence waste
water, night soil and other waste is promiscuously evident, and only the constant
vigilance of the inspectors of the Health Department, Special Sanitation forces
and the Miss Briggs Nurses' Settlement Workers has kept the district within
bounds.
The low property valuation has in the past been one of the obstacles toward
providing this section with the necessary public facilities. This, however, should
be overcome if necessary by special appropriations, for the mass of the people
pay dearly for this deficiency, as is shown by the contagious disease report which
discloses a steady increase in the number of cases of scarlet fever, measles,
chicken pox, whooping cough and mumps since 1906, and this with the decrease
in the number of inhabitants in the City. The primary cause of these diseases
being the lack of proper facilities for the sanitary disposal of sewage and waste.
and comcomitant factors the building up for resident purposes of such sections,
consequently subjecting the population to unavoidable contact with cases and
infectious material.
For the fiscal year 1906-07 there were 229 cases of scarlet fever reported:
for 1907-08, 246 cases; for 1908-09, 499. The number of cases of measles for
the same period is respectively as follows: For 1906-07, 1,236 cases: 1907-08.
910 cases: 1908-09, 2,115. January, February and March of this year provided
the greatest number of cases, an average of 33 new cases were reported daily.
due no doubt to the contact of non-infected as a result of confinement within
doors on account of the heavy rains restricting the time usually spent outdoors
by these children.
The increase in chickenpox is respectively as follows: 1906-07, 92 cases:
1907-08, 248 cases; 1908-09, 434.
Parotitis — 1906-07, 7 cases: 1907-08, 56 cases; 1908-09, 472.
Pertussis — 1906-07, 5 cases; 1907-08, 57 cases; 1908-09, 328.
Diphtheria shows a decrease over last year of 75 cases. In 1907-08, 664
were reported; 1908-09, 589 cases.
I believe this decrease to be directly the result of the liberal and free dis-
tribution of Antitoxin by the Department. Approximately 300,000 units were
distributed to attending physicians to properly immunize hundreds of contacts, as
well as treat the afflicted among the indigent classes, who, under other conditions,
could not have been saved at the critical period.
There is noted this last fiscal year a decrease of 164 cases of smallpox over
last year, and may be in part due to the vigilance of the Department and in part
to the co-operation of physicians throughout the City, but that this latter state-
ment seemingly does not hold true is evidenced by the history of the 34 cases
occurring during the month of October. 1908, when, as a result of neglect on
the part of certain physicians practicing in the Telegraph Hill section to report
to the Board of Health certain cases of smallpox and which cases were only
discovered by the School Medical Inspector, whose attention being called to the
absence of the pupils, together with the Sanitary Inspector, made an investiga-
tion and systematic inspection of the district with the result of discovering a
total of 22 cases among the school children attending the Garfield, Hearst ami
Irving Schools, nnd of 9 adult contact cases. These schools were ordered closed
and carefully fumigated, the Hearst and Irving Schools !'<>r two weeks and the
BUREAU OF SANITATION 083
Garfield for a period of six weeks. During all of this time inspection was main-
tained in the district and no child was permitted to return to school until satis-
factory evidence was presented of successful vaccination.
Two important points are forcefully portrayed in the occurrence of this dis-
ea^e in these three schools wherein some eight or nine hundred pupils congregate
and all located within one small district of less than half a mile in area, to-wit :
the prophylaxis of vaccination which confined the disease to the unvaccinated;
and second, the result of the vigilance of the Department which, in separating
Ihe afflicted and contacts, vaccinating the latter, and the maintaining of a daily
inspection during the incubatory period, prevented a large epidemic.
School medical inspection is undoubtedly one of the most important causative
factors in the recording of the increase in the number of contagious and in-
fectious diseases for the past fiscal year, as well as unquestionably preventing a
still larger number of cases from occurring. Again, the Department's frequent
notices sent to physicians calling their attention to the law requiring them to
report to the Board of Health all cases of infectious diseases attended by them,
and the check system in vogue, whereby delinquents are specially notified, has
also played its role in bringing to official notice the contagious and infectious
cases.
The 256 cases of typhoid fever which were reported during the year have,
with the exception of 166 cases, been brought into the City for treatment; 57
cases are known to be contacts of the latter. Those cases which had their origin
within the City and County were carefully investigated to determine the source
of infection, but in no instance could the same be attributed to water or milk;
in fact, not a single case of infectious disease occurring during the year was
classed, so far as origin is concerned, to the water and milk supply, both of
which are the subject of investigation and inquiry in all cases of contagious
diseases.
DIVISION OF SANITARY DISINFECTION.
The work of this division has been materially added to by the carrying out
of the Board's order to fumigate all premises where cases of tuberculosis occur,
and also where persons had died from the disease. A change in the method of
performing the work of this division has also been adopted, by which the sani-
tary inspector of each district is in close touch with all cases of contagious and
infectious diseases from the time the same is given a matter for investigation
until the premises are released after fumigation.
The sanitary inspector makes an inspection of the premises where a case
exists that is reported by the attending physician as being ready for fumigation,
and upon special cards he notes the number of rooms that are to be fumigated,
the number of cubic feet therein contained and the character and quantity of
material required for fumigation. The disinfector proceeds on this data, seals
the doors, windows, etc., and places the material and test plate, and after a
period of not less than six hours in any case, and usually from twelve to eighteen
liours, has elapsed the sanitary inspector reinspects the premises, breaks the seal
arid returns the test culture to the .laboratory, which reports back whether the
fumigation has been effective or not. If the plate shows growth in 24 to 48
hours the premises are refumigated.
DIVISION OF PLUMBING INSPECTION.
The report of this division shows a decrease in the number of plans sub-
mitted for new buildings, and also the number of permits granted for the past
fiscal year, as is evidenced by a comparison with the reports of 1906-07 and
J907-08.

During the year 13 arrests were made for violation of the Plumbing Ordi-
nance, and one Master Plumber's license suspended for a period of two months,
by order of the Board of Health, for violation of Section No. 178 of the Plumb-
ing Ordinance.
During the past year 102 applicants registered for examination to obtain a
Master Plumber's license. Of this number 70 failed to pass the test of arranging
a system of plumbing for a house plan, and 14 failed to pass the written examina-
tion on theory and practice of plumbing. By reason of the Civil Service plan of
examination in vogue, which was adopted during 1908, there has been a smaller
percentage of applicants who passed the test, and it is the concensus of opinion
of the Examining Board, that a correspondingly higher standard of excellence is
shown in those who were successful.
DIVISION OF INDUSTRIAL INSPECTION.
The one inspector assigned to the work of industrial inspection has devoted
the most of his time to bakeries, restaurants, and laundries, with a view of
bringing aboxit a better general sanitary condition by the installing of proper fly
screens, getting rid of rat harbors in bakeries and restaurants and enforcing
of cleanliness in laundries, particularly Chinese laundries, wherein dozens of
sprinklers for clothes were destroyed during the year because the water was
forced out of the particular sprinkler by means of the mouth. An amendment to
the existing Ordinance which covers this insanitary procedure has been sub-
mitted, and when passed, the Department will be in a position to make arrests.
The inspector in this division has also been for a time detailed on street
railway car inspection, particularly to note whether the companies operating the
cars complied with the law requiring washing, sweeping and disinfecting of cars,
as set forth in Ordinance No. 1378; but as an officer from the Police Department
has been specially detailed for this work to the Board of Health, upon the request
of the Health Officer, the industrial inspector was withdrawn from the work, and
in conjunction with the other duties of this division, acted with the food inspect-
ors in supplying samples to the laboratories.
DIVISION OF FOOD INSPECTION.
The two inspectors assigned to this division have devoted the major part
of their time to the collecting of samples of milk, water and other food stuffs for
the chemical and bacteriological laboratories, and also in the prosecuting of
offenders of the milk and food laws. These two men also inspect all butter and
etrgs consigned for the use of the institutions under the charge of the Board of
Health.
DIVISION OF MARKET INSPECTION.
Tlu great needs of the Department to properly carry out the work of meat
inspection will be realized when the new meat ordinance submitted by the Board
in May of this year to the Supervisors for adoption, becomes operative. This
ordinance contemplates that all abottoirs, sausage factories, meat canning and
rendering plants not under Government inspection shall pay a license fee to the
Tax Collector which will be adequate to maintain inspection under the supervision
of the Board of Health on similar lines adopted by the Bureau of Animal Industry
BUREAU OF SANITATION 685
of the Department of Agriculture. This law will also require these places to
comply with certain regulations of sanitation, and also that all products prepared
by them must bear the inspection legend or stamp before they can be sold to the
trade or consumer.
Since the earthquake of 1906 the crab and shell fish industry around San
Francisco bay has been gradually decreasing until during this past year nearly
all of this commodity has had to be brought from the northern section of the
State, as well as from points still farther north. Whether the cause for the
disappearance of this food product is due to the earthquake or lack of conserva-
tion, or to some other predatory or destructive element seems to be unknown.
The fact remains, however, that crabs, etc., have almost disappeared from the
vicinity of San Francisco, where formerly they were plentiful.
The great demand for crabs in particular has caused dealers to send fisher-
men to the northern section of the State, who send into this City during the
open season, which is from November 1st to March 1st, an average of four to
six hundred dozen crabs weekly. At first this product arrived in good condition,
crabs having been cooked, shipped and packed in ice. Competition and avarice
soon replaced regard for effect on consumer, and crabs were simply packed alive
into sacks and shipped. This resulted in the death of nearly all while in transit,
either by suffocation or starvation, and when put upon the market were a product
that was a serious menace to the life and health of those consuming the same.
After repeated warnings without compliance, the Department submitted to the
Supervisors an ordinance which was immediately passed as a law, that makes it
a misdemeanor to bring into the City and County of San Francisco any shell fish
unless the same have been cooked for a period of not less than forty minutes in
boiling water and packed in ice while in transit to this city, or it further pro-
vides that same shall arrive alive and in good healthy condition. Only one ship-
ment of 400 dozen needed to be condemned and destroyed after the passage of
the above law. Now a caretaker accompanies each shipment, whose duty it is
to constantly keep the shipment soaked with fresh sea water from a hose while
in transit. The shipment on arrival is examined by the market inspector, who
confiscates all dead crabs found. For three months past it has been a rare thing
to find more than four dead in a sack of two dozen crabs.
DIVISION OF DAIRY AND MILK INSPECTION.
The number of dairies producing milk within the limits of the City ant
County of San Francisco has decreased over fifty per cent since June 30th, 1907
due no doubt to one or the other of the following conditions, to-wit:
First : The earthquake and fire of 1906 created conditions that disorganized
the normal routine of trade and population so that the supply was in excess of
the demand, causing many to dispose of their interests or remove to sections
contiguous to points across the bay, where new demands for the supply were
manifested.
Second: Feed for cattle, cost of labor and "other incidentals in the pro-
duction became materially higher, and in excess of that of producers located in
other counties then shipping into the City plus the freight, which made it diffi-
cult to meet the competition.
Third: A very large percentage of the City\s population, forced by the fire
and earthquake to abandon their homes in the burned district, had eventually to
seek new homes, a necessity which owners of large open tracts were quick 1»
6S6 BUREAU OF SANITATION
take advantage of by subdividing their land and selling to home seekers, and as
ninety per cent, of the dairies were located on these tracts and had only tentative
leases, the areas for pasturage were curtailed and necessarily the demands for
better sanitation increased; two conditions that for several reasons rendered
it difficult to produce milk in cities, and, moreover, with the crowding of resi-
dences into a section near a dairy, soon produced a demand for the abolition
of the dairy both for the reason of improving health conditions and enhancing
property values.
The number of milk distributing depots classed as dairy depots on the other
hand has increased in number. To show the ratio I submit the following figures
from the reports:
Rear 1907. 1908. 1909.
Depots (about) 76 90 112
Dairies .. ... 69 49 31
C. L. ROADHOUSE, D. V. M.
I have the honor to submit herewith my annual report for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1909, as follows:
The number of inspections made during the year is shown in the following
tabulation:
Starting with the month of February, thirty-one dairies, which include all
wilhin the City and County of San Francisco, were inspected. Since that time
ninety-six first inspections of dairies have been made, as follows:
Marin County 42
San Mateo County 33
Santa Clara County 16
Alameda County 4
Sonoma County 1
It is estimated that there are twenty-three dairies in the counties of Solano,
Sonoma, Contra Costa, San Joaquin and Napa which are supplying milk to San
Francisco and that are yet to be inspected.
It is also estimated that there are from 500 to 750 dairies furnishing milk
which goes to make up the cream supply for San Francisco and which are to be
inspected as soon as the dairies supplying milk are made satisfactory. The
greater part of the cream used in San Francisco is shipped from the following
counties: Tulare, Merced, San Joaquin, Contra Costa, Alameda, Stanislaus,
Solano. Sonoma, Mendocino and San Mateo.
At the time of the first inspection of the dairies there was not a single milk
room found that was properly screened against flies and properly protected
against the entrance of dust. In some- cases there was no place provided that
could be considered a milk room, and in a few cases no buildings at all were
provided for the protection of cows, milk or utensils. Poor methods of handling
the dairies and the milk were found, but even in the very bad dairies, there
seemed to be a willingness to accept and follow suggestions. Recommendations
were made to the owner for the correcting of any defect at his dairy that would
improve sanitary conditions : also suggestions were made for better dairy methods
and all diseased cattle that could be determined by inspection and physical
examination were condemned and suspicious animals quarantined. Badly dis-
BUREAU OF SANITATION 687
eased animals were frequently found at the dairies, and in fact there is scarcely
a single large dairy that has been inspected that has not shown signs of the
presence of tuberculosis.
Thirty to sixty days have been allowed after the first inspection within which
time the dairymen were to have all recommendations complied with. At the end
of this time a reinspection of the dairies has shown good progress in nearly
every case, many dairies having complied with the recommendations completely.
Two dairymen had made such a poor attempt at meeting the requirements and the
conditions at these dairies were so bad after a third inspection had been made,
that a warrant was issued in each case for the arrest of the owner for producing
unwholesome milk.
The score card which has been in use up to the present time is not as
thorough as it should be. A new score card has been adopted which is almost
an exact copy of the one used by the United States Department of Agriculture.
It is now being printed.
When the inspection of the out-of-town dairies was commenced there was
strong opposition shown by the dairymen. It was a case of trying to convince
a man against his will in most cases to offer suggestions and expect them to
be followed until the owners were satisfied that the Board of Health was behind
tho movement and that the inspection of the dairies was to continue. Since
commencing the reinspection, the dairy owners feel better assured of the latter
fact and the progress now being made at most dairies is truly gratifying.
Thirty-eight dairies in Marin County out of forty-two inspected have the
milking stubles constructed so that they are not separated from the hay barn
by partitions to keep the hay and dust from the place where the milking is done.
This is an important defect, but it is not deemed practical at the present time
to correct it.
Most of the dairy farms supplying milk to San Francisco are occupied by
tenants and are leased only for short periods of time in most cases. The tenant
is naturally slow in making extensive changes at his own expense. The notices
and letters issued from the Health Office have been a benefit to him in using
them to influence the owners of the property to furnish the material for recon-
struction.
In a few cases where the tenant could not afford to make the changes and
the owner of the property had refused to help him, the Chief Dairy Inspector
Interviewed the owner personally raid informed him of the requirements of the
Board of Health and that no milk permit would be granted the tenant if the
changes were not made. In many cases good results have followed.
The reinspection of forty-nine dairies outside of the county have been made
to date.
Inspection of Street Cars
W. E. RICE (POLICE OFFICER), INSPECTOR.
Sir: — I have the honor to submit the following as nay report for the past
five months in regard to the improved conditions of the street cars. After an
investigation of ten days, from February 18th to March 1st, I find as follows:
The United Railways have thirteen car barns and run daily five hundred and
seventy cars; Presidio and Ferries Railroad Company has one car barn and
run daily twenty-four cars; California Cable Company has one car barn and
run daily thirty cars; Geary, Park and Ocean Railroad Company has one car
barn and run daily twenty-one cars; Parkside Railroad Company has no car
barn. They keep their cars at Oak and Broderick car barn of the United Rail-
roads and run daily two cars.
The cars of the United Railroads Company were only swept down the
aisle of the car. The platform and around the controllers were never cleaned.
The floors were a regular dumping place for rubbish.
The cars were supposed to be disinfected weekly by spraying about one
pint of Naphtholeum, after having been reduced, to each car.
March 4, 1909, the United Railroads Company adopted Creofect a sheep
dip) recommended by the Board of Health as a disinfectant, to be used one-half
gallon to sixty gallons of water.
1st. I had all corners of the car and platforms scraped and all the clogged
dirt cleaned out and well swept.
2d. The cars are disinfected as follows: After the car is swept clean, the
floor is soaked for about thirty minutes with the Creofect, about two and one-
half gallons being used on the floor of each car. The seat and side walls up to
the windows are washed with Creofect.
3d. Washing.
The car is then washed, first by scrubbing with an old broom, then either
turning the water on the floor with hose or mopping. Some barns use the hose.
They place heavy canvass over the motors and wires under the cars to protect
them. Each car is washed and disinfected once each week.
4th. Sweeping.
The sweeping is done at night and each car is swept each night. Special
attention is given to the corners, under the seats and in the grooves down the
aisle.
5th. The windows of each car are cleaned both inside and outside each
night.
6th. Dusting.
After sweeping each night the cars are dusted, special attention being given
to the window sills and seats.
7th. Ceilings, etc.
May 15th I took up the matter of washing the ceilings and transoms with
the several division superintendents and at this time about eighty per cent, of
the cars have the ceilings, transoms and the entire interior of the car washed.
They are working on the remaining twenty per cent, at present. The cars are
also washed on the outside weekly.
There has been constructed new wash rack at four of the different barns.
New hose, water brushes and other equipment for washing have been furnished
at each barn.
INSPECTION OF CABS 689
I have had orders issued at each barn that the men, belonging to the car-
cleaning crew, shall not be used for any other work, as was the custom here-
tofore.
At all car barns the crew have been placed under a foreman and that man
is held responsible for the work.
There has been a paint shop built at Geneva and San Jose Avenues with
a capacity for twelve cars.
There have been about forty cars overhauled and painted and now are in
use on the several lines of the company.
The throwing of rubbish on the floors has caused the issuing of orders to
conductors that they must stop it themselves and prevent, as much as possible,
passengers throwing rubbish on the floor.
There has also an order been issued to the crews about expectorating on
the cars. It is now the duty of a conductor to call the attention of passengers
to the throwing of rubbish and expectorating on the floors of cars, and if they
do not then stop, the conductor is to put the passengers oft* or cause their arrest.
There have been three cases where motormen have been suspended from
three to five days for expectorating on the cars.
Orders have been issued at the car barns that the mechanics shall not sit
or lie on the car seats with their dirty clothes. There have been two dismissals
for this offense.
The Geary, Park and Ocean Railroad Company, Presidio and Ferries Railroad
Company and the California Cable Company are now cleaning their cars on the
same lines as the United Railroads Company, except the crew of each car sweep
their car each morning before leaving the barn. The washing and disinfecting
being done by regular crews established since March 1, 1909.
Medical Inspection of Schools
C. R. BRICCA, M. D., MEDICAL INSPECTOR.
I have the honor to submit herewith the annual report of the
Department of Medical Inspection of Schools. This Department is concerned
with nineteen of our primary and grammar public schools situated in the con-
gested districts and enrolling 10,300 pupils.
The amount of work performed and the results obtained have been excellent,
taking in consideration that these schools are by no means close together and
that unfortunately we have had several changes of nurses, which naturally handi-
capped our work and results.
The Board of Education has at all times co-operated with this Department,
and by so doing has been a great help. Without this co-operation, school medical
inspection would be useless. The efficient and praiseworthy work of the nurses
should not be passed over in silence, especially the work of those nurses who
hji.ve worked since the beginning of school medical inspection.
Medical inspection of schools without the school nurse would be a farce.
The combination of medical school inspection, examination and treatment, and
school nurse co-operation is undoubtedly one of the greatest advancements that
modern times has invented for the physical improvement of school children. We
need good permanent nurses, as the frequent changing is detrimental, as we lose
the co-operation of the willing principals and teachers.
The number of children excluded from school on account of infectious dis-
eases is 859 or 8.34% of the enrollment. These cases were found either in the
schools or in the homes, for the most in the latter. Every unaccounted for
absentee of two or more days is visited at the home by the nurse, and in this
Avar a great number of infectious cases were found. This number does not
include the number of contacts, as xinfortunately this record was not kept until
of late. These cases and their contacts were not and most probably would not
have been reported to the Board of Health. This certainly is a positive menace
to community health. Tt is evident that the exclusion of these cases and contacts
meant an increased school attendance. Trachoma has practically disappeared, as
not one cise has been found in months, while the original twenty cases have
been cured.
Of the 2,660 unvaccinated children, only 85 have not been re-vaccinated.
Of the 2,575 re-vaccinations, 15 immune certificates were issued and the re-
maining 2,560 have been successful, with but few exceptions. The reason why
vaccination is often unsuccessful lies in the fact that the virus is not active,
having been kept at an unsuitable temperature either in the drug store or in
the practitioner's office.
The nurses have treated 2,441 cases in the schools. The number of times
each case was treated has not been recorded heretofore, consequently does not
appear in this report. These cases were simple contagious skin conditions,
abrasions, and do not include the vaccinations, which vaccinations were per-
formed by the Medical Inspector.
182 or 26.3% of the cases of Hypertrophied Tonsils and Adenoids found have
been operated upon by the family surgeon, while 162 others were medically
treated. Of 383 cases of defective vision, 80 or 20.9% have received ocular
attention. In all 2,843 or 27.04% of the total enrollment have been treated.
•J7 cases have been reported to the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and to the Associated Charities.
INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS 691
1,650 school visits, or 165 monthly visits, have been made.
2,478 home visits, or 225 monthly visits, have been made.
Total, 390 monthly visits have been made.
The record of the physical examinations is by no means complete, but most
superficial, as our time was for the most part taken up with infectious diseases,
vaccinations, vermin, contagious skin diseases and only the most evident cases
of physical defects came under our observations. Two months before the close of
the school term, the Medical Inspector began a systematic physical examination
of the school children taking a class at a time. Ninety-nine pupils were thus
examined and 38.39% had defective vision; 50% enlarged tonsils and adenoids;
30% enlarged cervical glands; over 50% defective teeth. This proves con-
clusively the absolute necessity of physical examination.
I herewith submit my annual school inspection report for the
fiscal year ending June 30th, 1909, representing nineteen schools enrolling a
total of 10,300 pupils:

Chemical Laboratory
San Francisco, July 15, 1909.
Health Officer, Through Chief Sanitary Inspector.
Sir: — I submit herewith a report of the work of the Chemical Laboratory
for the year ending June 30, 1909.
During the first half of the year work was somewhat hampered owing to
lack of proper facilities, the Laboratory being located in temporary quarters,
which were very crudely furnished and poorly arranged.
In the latter part of November, 1908, the present quarters were occupied.
They are not only much more roomy than our temporary quarters were, but are
better equipped and arranged by far than was the Laboratory before the fire.
There are still some things needed to bring the equipment up to the standard
required in a Laboratory of this kind. The outlay for this equipment will be
comparatively small.
The following table shows the number and character of the examinations
made during the year. In addition to the analytical work, a considerable at-
tendance in Court by the Chief Chemist was necessary to testify in prosecutions
of violators of the milk and meat laws. Three hundred and six cases were tried
in all, resulting in $4,920 in fines:
TABLE SHOWING THE NUMBER AND CHARACTER OF ANALYSES MADE.
Milk 3,412 samples
Meat 150 samples
Ice Cream and Water Ice 34 samples
Fruit Syrups and Flavors 22 samples
Soft Drinks 79 samples
Preservatives and Disinfectants 10 samples
Miscellaneous 22 samples
Water .' 308 samples
Total 4,037 samples
MILK.
Thirty-four hundred and twelve samples of milk were analyzed, of which
18.5% were found to be below standard in some particular. Nine and one-tenth
per cent, of all samples analyzed were sufficiently below standard to warrant
arrest.
It may be stated here that the standard required for milk fat and solids not
fat for nine months of the year, July to March inculsive, was 3% and 8.5% re-
spectively.
After April 1, 1909, the standard required was 3.4% milk fat and 8.5%
solids not fat.
The methods employed in the analysis of milk samples are those recom-
mended by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists. Milk fats are
determined by the Babcock centrifugal process. Addition of water is detected
by measuring the refractive index of the milk serum by means of the Zeiss Im-
mersion Refractometer. Confirmation is had by determining the solids not fat.
Experience has shown that in average milk 10% of added water may be detected
with certainty.
CHEMICAL LABOEATOEY 713
Total solids are determined gravirnetrically on all samples having a refrac-
tometer reading of less than 40 or a fat content below the requirements of the
law. All samples are tested for preservatives and artificial colors. Two samples
were found containing artificial color, one containing boric acid; none was found
containing formaldehyde.
Samples for analysis must be taken in duplicate, sealed and plainly marked
for identification to lay the proper foundation for prosecution in case of being
found below standard. Samples submitted by individuals not milk dealers are
accepted if in fit condition for analysis. Prosecutions are instituted only on
such deficient samples as are submitted by officials of the Health Department.
In table No. 1 following, the results of the milk analyses have been tabulated
by months. It will be noticed that in the months of April, May and June the
percentage of samples below standard is considerably higher than that of the
months preceding. It must be remembered that the standard for milk fat for
these three months was 0.4% higher than for the preceding months.
By comparing the percentage of samples below standard and the percentage
of samples low enough for arrest, it will be noticed that about half of those
below standard are low enough for arrest, showing that about 50 per cent, of
the deficient samples are only slightly below standard.
While the time-honored method for the adulteration of milk has been the
addition of water, these results show that fourteen per cent, of all samples were
found deficient in milk fat, while only 4.3% were found to contain added water,
though nearly 50% of the arrests were made on account of watered milk.
The latter part of table No. 1 gives the monthly Court record of milk cases.
The Court record for any month does not correspond to the analytical work of
that month. Arrests ordered upon any particular piece of analytical work are
not disposed of for from two weeks to one month after the report of the work
is filed. Two hundred and seventy cases were tried, resulting in 207 convictions
and 63 dismissals. The total fines were $4,630, average fine $22.37. The great
majority of the dismissals were for first offenses.
Table No. 2 following, shows the results of the milk analyses tabulated ac-
cording to the source of samples.
Samples were taken from all places where milk was offered for sale. A
little more than 13% of the samples taken from distributors, i. e., milk wagons
and milk depots, were found to be below standard, while only a little more than
7% of the samples taken from producers were below standard.
The worst milk was obtained from restaurants, stores and bakeries. About
12.5% of all samples were taken from these places, while 23% of the samples
found to be below standard were obtained from them. Therefore the blame for
adulterated milk as shown by this year's work rests least upon the producer,
next upon the distributor and most by far upon those selling milk from restau-
rants, stores and bakeries.
During the year 3907-08 when practically all samples were taken from
producers and distributors, the percentage of 'all samples below standard was
21.30. The percentage of all samples below standard for the year 1908-09 from
the same sources averages about eleven per cent., which shows a considerable
improvement in the quality of the milk supplied.

316 CHEMICAL LABORATORY
MEAT.
A City Ordinance having been passed prohibiting the use of dyes, chemicals
or preservatives in meats and meat food products, in February, 1909, regular
examination of samples was begun.
Samples were first taken from the 36 sausage factories in the City and
County. It was found that the use of boric acid and coal tar dyes was quite
prevalent in the class of sausages known as bologna and frankfurters. Within
two months from the time of the beginning of the work this form of adulteration
almost disappeared. The prevention of the use of sulphites in pork sausages and
hamburg steak has been a great deal more difficult.
In all 150 samples of chopped meats and sausages, representing 94 dealers,
have been analyzed. Fifty-two samples, representing 39 dealers, were found to
contain coal tar dyes or chemical preservatives. Coal tar dyes were found in 9
samples, boric acid in 11 samples, sulphites in 38 samples, and benzoic acid in
1 sample.
Thirty-nine arrests were made, resulting in 21 convictions, 15 dismissals,
and 3 cases pending. The total fines imposed were $290, average fine $13.81.
ICE CREAM AND WATER ICE.
The United States and State standards for ice cream are as follows:
1. Ice cream is a frozen product made from cream and sugar with or with-
out a natural flavor and contains not less than 14% of milk fat.
2. Fruit ice cream is a frozen product made from cream, sugar and sound,
clean, mature fruits and contains not less than 12% of milk fat.
3. Nut ice cream is a frozen product made from cream, sugar and sound,
non-rancid nuts and contains not less than 12% of milk fat.
Thirty-two samples of ice cream and two samples of water ice were analyzed;
five samples were found to conform to the standard given above ; nineteen samples
were found to contain gelatine, and six samples were found to contain starch as
thickening agents; three samples were found to contain coal tar coloring matter;
eight samples were found to contain less than the required amount of milk fat,
and one sample was found to be preserved with boric acid. All samples were
tested for artificial sweetening and foreign fats. None was found. The two
samples of water ice were genuine.
FRUIT SYRUPS AND FLAVORING EXTRACTS.
Twenty-two samples of fruit syrups and flavoring extracts, such as are used
in ice cream sodas and soda waters, were analyzed. Two samples were found
to be genuine; fifteen samples were found to be colored with coal tar color; two
samples were found to be colored with caramel, and three samples not artificially
colored were foxind to contain none of the ingredients after which they were
named.
SOFT DRINKS.
The soft drinks anaylzed consisted of soda waters, ginger ales and root
beers. One hundred and twenty-one samples were collected, of which 84 samples
were labeled " artificially colored, flavored or sweetened," as the case might
be. Forty -two of the samples labeled as described were analyzed and were
found to conform with the statements on the label. Eight samples which were
unlabeled were found not to be in violation of the law. Twenty-nine samples
were found to be improperly labeled, or not labeled when containing artificial
color or sweetening.
CHEMICAL LABORATORY 717
The artificial coloring matters were caramel and coal tar colors. The arti-
ficial sweetening was found to be saccharin. No attempt was made to identify
the artificial flavors.
The mislabeled samples were either so-called home-made products or were
from old stock which had been on the shelves for some time.
The above forms of sophistication and adulteration are in violation of the
California Pure Food Act of March 11, 1907. This Act cannot be enforced by
the San Francisco Board of Health, because by the provisions of the Act this
power rests with the State Board of Health alone. A City Ordinance non-con-
flicting with the State Act is now in course of preparation. When this ordinance
becomes a law th<; Board of Health will be able to enforce the provisions of the
State Act.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The miscellaneous examinations were of samples of suspected preservatives
taken from butcher shops, samples of butter, baking powder, vinegar, sugar,
syrups and catsups submitted by the various public institutions of the City and
County and by private individuals. None of the food -stuffs examined were found
to be below standard. Thirty-two samples in all were examined.
WATER.
The water supply of the City of San Francisco is furnished by a series of
lakes south of the City on the peninsula and from an infilteration system situated
in the Sunol Valley in Alameda County, east of San Francisco bay. The water
from the Sunol filter beds is piped across to the west side of the bay, where it
joins the supply from the above mentioned lakes on the peninsula and is de-
livered to nine reservoirs and tanks in the City for distribution.* The system is
owned and operated by the Spring Valley Water Company.
Samples from each of the distributing reservoirs and the Lakes Merced were
analyzed during each month of the year except December. During the greater
part of the year examinations were made twice each month. The Lakes Merced
form a part of the source of the City supply, but owing to the unprotected con-
dition of their water sheds, due to their proximity to the City, the water from
these lakes is of very questionable purity and is not used.
The chemical composition of the water from the distributing reservoirs
varies to some extent with the season of the year, this being due principally to
the distribution of seasonal rainfall, which occurs almost entirely in the months
from November to May, inclusive, the remaining months of the year being prac-
tically without precipitation. Comparison with the analyses made in former
years shows very good agreement at the same season of the year.
In table No. 3 are given the tabulated analytical results obtained by the
examination of the water taken from the distributing reservoirs and the Lakes
Merced. Throughout the year 198 analyses were made of these waters.
In table No. 4 are given the tabulated analytical results obtained by the
examination of 18 samples of water taken from the service taps of the Spring
Valley Water Company.
Tables Nos. 5 and 6 contain the tabulated analytical results of the examina-
tion of 28 samples of well water and 14 samples of spring water. The majority
of the wells here reported furnished water to dairies supplying milk to the San
Francisco market. Owing to the wide variation in the chemical composition of
samples taken from neighboring sources and of the very evident contamination

reservoirs of the San Francisco water supply, see Board of Health Report 1906-07.

of the majority of the wells, it is impossible to draw any conclusions from the
analyses of the past two years as to the normal composition of the well waters
of this portion of the peninsula.
The evidence gained from the chemical examination usually indicated past
rather than recent contamination, as shown by the excessive amounts of nitrogen
as nitrates. In no case where an excessive nitrate content was found in a well
water did bacteriological examination fail to reveal B. coli present. The purity
of the spring waters here reported cannot be so questioned.
Table No. 7 contains the tabulated analytical results of 14 samples of water
taken along Islais Creek in the City and County of San Francisco. This creek is
known to receive the contents of several sewers. The analyses were of waters
used principally for irrigating vegetable gardens, though the water from some
of the wells close along the creek is used in washing vegetables in preparing
them for market.
Table No. 8 contains the tabulated analytical results obtained by the analysis
of 33 samples of water taken from the Golden Gate Park water supply.
The water which supplies the various drinking fountains* in the Park is
obtained -at the Water Works situated on the south side of the Park near Twelfth
Avenue. Here water is collected in a sump about 200 feet long, half of which
is under ground. The bottom of the sump is about 40 feet below the surface of
the ground and is thickly perforated to allow the entrance of the water. The
water is drawn from the samp by a centrifugal pump into a small reservoir and
then forced to a large reservoir on the side of Strawberry Hill, from which it
is distributed to the drinking fountains. This source of supply is exposed to
great danger of contamination.
Tn the western end and on opposite sides of the Park are two Dutch wind-
mills, which draw water from two open sumps about 20 feet deep and pump it
througn the Park to be u'sed in feeding several artificial lakes and for irriga-
tion. This water is not used for drinking purposes.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS.
The methods employed in the analysis of water are those recommended by
the Committee on Standard Methods of Water Analysis, Journal of Infectious
Diseases, Supplement No. 1, 1905. Nitrates are determined by the reduction
method, which has been found to be much more satisfactory than the phenol
sulphonic acid method. In determining oxygen consumed, the sample containing
the standard permanganate is heated at 100 degrees Centigrade for 30 minutes.
Samples for analysis are collected in five-pint glass-stoppered bottles by
inspectors familiar with the precautions necessary in taking samples of water
for sanitary analysis.
Whenever possible samples are taken directly from the source to be ex-
amined at about 6 feet below the surface.
Respectfully,
C. W. BEAVER. Chief Chemist.
*Since the analyses here reported were made, the water from the Park Water
Works has been shut off from the drinking fountains in the Park.

EXPLANATION OF STATISTICAL TABLES.
In the following pages will be found tables giving various information
relative to the expenditures and patients treated in the Hospital during the
past fiscal year.
It is unfortunate that hospitals have not adopted some uniform method of
compiling 'and presenting their reports so that the different ones may be ac-
curately compared.
The Presbyterian Hospital of Xew York has, however, established a uniform
system of accounting fur hospitals, which has been adopted by a large number
of Eastern Hospitals and which we have followed in presenting our statement
of expenses (table No. 1), so that our expenses may be compared accurately and
in detail Avith many of the best hospitals of this country.
The movement of population (table No. 2) shows that we have treated an
average of 354.58 a day.
Table No. 3 is a summary of part of table No. 4.
The Morbidity table (table No. 4) gives a large amount of information
about all the cases that have been discharged or died during the year.
Table No. 5 shows the nativity of the foreign born patients that have been
discharged or died during the year.
TUBERCULAR CASES.
During the year the proper housing and segregation of the large number of
tubercular cases have been one of the most important difficulties that has been
met at this Hospital. Besides the ward that had been previously reconstructed
by the Associated Charities for 75 male cases, we have been compelled to par-
tition off part of another ward for male cases and also part of another female
ward for female cases. Even with these additions we have at times been com-
pelled to refuse all cases except very far advanced ones on account of lack of
accommodations. At the time of writing we have ample room, but we believe
that when the rainy season sets in, unless more accommodations are provided,
744 CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL
that the same difficulties will be encountered as we have met during the past
year. This matter has been presented to the Board of Supervisors and we are
convinced that it will be properly adjusted before next winter so that we shall
avoid our previous difficulties.
The proper treatment, including segregation and regulation of tubercular
cases is, we believe, one of the most important and insistant needs of this com-
munity and must, in our opinion, lead to some stringent and far-reaching legis-
lation before we can hope to diminish the number of cases in this City and State.
Our greatest difficulty with the cases here, outside of the proper housing
and segregation, is the inability to keep them interested by giving them some
employment suitable to their physical condition. Having nothing to do except
eat, sleep and take their medicine, they naturally become dissatisfied with every-
thing and are extremely hard to handle.
We also feel the need of having some place to send cases of arrested tuber-
culosis which, although not in physical condition to compete with normal men
in the labor market, still are able to do something and would be much more
contented doing something that would partly pay for their care. It has been
suggested by visitors that a farm should be provided for this class of cases.
The Associated Charities have erected 14 tents for male tubercular cases
and 3 tents for female tubercular cases, which have helped to relieve the situa-
tion, but they will not be habitable during the winter, which is the time we are
most pressed for room for this class of cases.
ALCOHOLICS AND DRUG FIENDS.
As in the report for the last fiscal year, we would again call your attention
to the need of being able to properly segregate acute and chronic alcoholics,
epileptics, drug fiends and criminals in order to give them proper treatment.
We believe that such cases should be put in a separate institution and should
be kept there until cured.
SUPPLIES.
The system of inspection of food stuffs before delivery and the good char-
acter of the present contractors have resulted in our having very little trouble
relative to the quality of goods received and have worked out very satisfactorily
in everything except the delivery of eggs, with which we have had continual
trouble.
The inauguration of a sample chest in which is kept a sample of all goods
contracted for, the sample being furnished by the contractor at the time his
bid is submitted, has been a great help in the receipt of goods.
TRAINING SCHOOLS.
On January 22, 1909, Miss J. R. Greenwood resigned as Superintendent of
the Training School for Nurses, and Miss M. G. Parsons was appointed to fill
the vacancy.
In the belief that all of the instruction and practical work to fit a nurse
for private nursing could be given in a two years' course, the term of training
in this school has been reduced to two years, exclusive of the probation period.
We have, however, provided a subsequent course of one year to be devoted to
training in institutional nursing, executive work and hospital economies and
housekeeping.
In view of the undesirable class of men formerly obtained for the positions
of orderlies we have established a Training School for Orderlies with a two
years' course, and although this has been running a very short time we feel
CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL 74.1
very much encouraged by the better class of men we have been obtaining for
these positions. •
On account of the small number of pupil nurses in the school we have been
compelled to employ 9 graduate nurses and we will probably be compelled to
continue employing them until our course in hospital economies is thoroughly
established. Even with the graduates employed we have only one nurse to every
15 patients, which is far below the standard considered correct for a hospital
of this nature. «
A detailed report of the Training Schools will be found appended.
LIBRARY.
We take pleasure in announcing that we have been able to start the nucleus
for a reference library for Internes and Nurses. This has been a long-felt want,
and we trust that during the next year it will be materially increased.
DIETS.
During the year considerable attention has been devoted to improvement
in the feeding of the patients, which we have been enabled to do by increasing
the money allowance for this department. The regulation of the service and
preparation of diets has been placed in charge of a trained dietician, who has
systematized this branch so that we are able to provide the patients with the
following diets :
Liquid diet, soft diet, light diet, house diet, special diet for diabetics, etc.
The Dietician also instructs the nurses in the cooking laboratory, which
has been equipped for this purpose, in practical cooking, setting up trays, etc.,
and gives lectures on dietetics.
Books showing the different diets for the guidance of the doctors have been
prepared and can be found in each ward.
IMPROVEMENTS AND REPAIRS.
The part of building "K," which had been set aside for the treatment of
infectious diseases, was found to be inadequate for the treatment of the large
number of cases that we have during the winter and spring so that the remainder
of the building was remodeled at an expense of about $750.
This so far has given us sufficient accommodations and we believe will
during the coming winter.
In order to supply more accommodations for nurses and orderlies two addi-
tional cottages (Xo 11 and No. 12) have been remodeled. In No. 11 one large
room has been set aside and tastily furnished as a sitting room for the nurses.
This has been done at a cost of $520.
In order to provide proper quarters for female tubercular cases a part of
the female ward was partitioned off, in which we now have 13 beds. We doubt
very much whether this will be a sufficient number during the coming winter.
This ward has a separate pantry and the patients are entirely shut off from
the rest of the female cases. This was done at a cost of $150.
In order to have a proper place for the preparation of vegetables and for
pot-washing, a house 10x18 feet on the side of and connecting with the kitchen
has been constructed. This has a concrete floor and hopper and has been a
satisfactory and necessary addition. This cost $125.
There are many other improvements and changes that would be desirable
in the buildings and grounds. On account, however, of the comparatively short
time that it is expected that the hospital will be located here, it does not appear
that these changes would warrant the outlay of the necessary money.
7 I <; CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL
ADMISSIONS.
The investigation of each patient admitted by the Inspector of Hospitals,
has helped in keeping out many cases that were not entitled to be cared for by
this City and County, and we believe that the usefulness of this official will be
enhanced each year.
In this connection it has been suggested that we should also establish a
Social Service Department presided over by some one thoroughly familiar with
the charitable organizations of this community to assist discharged and con-
valescent patients to obtain positions or to be looked after until thoroughly well.
Besides this department would naturally have charge of the collection of the
$15 a month that the Supervisors have authorized the management- of this Hos-
pital to collect from all who are able to pay it.
This collection we believe will materially reduce the expense to the City
of caring for the indigent sick during the year.
Social Service Departments have been established in many of the large
Eastern Hospitals and have been found very useful in decreasing the length
of the patients' stay in the hospitals.
IN MEMORIAM.
We regret to announce the death of Frank I. Kelly on March 9, 1909, who
for many years had been connected with the Hospital as druggist and who had
always worked faithfully and conscientiously for the welfare of the institution.

Report of Relief Home
San Francisco, August 1, 1909.
To the Honorable Board of Health, City.
Gentlemen: — I have the honor to submit the following report of the Relief
Home for the fiscal year 1908-1909:
The appropriation for the maintenance of the Relief Home for the fiscal
year amounted to $165,000, all of which was spent, and in addition to this sum
we used approximately $10,000 of Relief stores. This would make the cost
appear to be .363 per day per inmate. However, there is a considerable reduc-
tion to be made from these figures. We did the laundry work for the City and
County and the Central Emergency Hospitals. With the City and County Hos-
pital we had an agreement that they were to pay us the sum of $350.00 per
month, and the Central Emergency the sum of $100.00 per month. The latter
has been collected, but owing to the financial condition of the City and County
Hospital we have not collected this sum during the year.
We also spent $4,800 in permanent improvements and $3,846.50 in equip-
ment, which is not a proper charge against the per capita charge. Deducting
these amounts, the daily per capita cost is about 33 1-3 cents daily — this sum
including food, clothing, bedding, hospital expenses and salaries.
A rule that compels every man and woman, unless excused by the Doctors,
to do a small amount of work brings about four hundred men out every morning.
These are divided into different classes as Janitors and Wardmen, Farmers,
Gardeners, Roadworkers, Firemen, Carpenters, Plumbers, Concreteuien, Black-
smiths and Horseshoers, Wagonmakers, Stablemen, Quarrymen, etc.
CONSTRUCTION.
During the year we built with inmate labor a glass hot-house, a five-room
bungalow as a residence for the Farmer, one and one half miles of fence, a
reinforced concrete cow barn of thirty-six stalls equipped with all the modern
sanitary appliances. This barn, 33x100, we believe to be the best built dairy
building in Central California. The total cost was under $2,000.
A reinforced concrete addition to the Butcher Shop is nearly completed.
This will be used for cold storage. An appropriation has just been made by
the Board of Supervisors to install in same ice and refrigerating machinery.
Every winter for many years the flume carrying off the water coming down
the west slope of Twin Peaks has washed out. This winter the two-inch planks
were completely carried away. We are now building a large ditch lined with
large rock well grouted with cement, which should last years.
Work has just commenced on a concrete building, 35x70, to be used as work
shops. This building will have eight rooms for Tailors, Shoemakers, Tinner,
Glazier, Paint Shop, etc. It will be entirely fireproof, the roof being of tile.
The opening up of a quarry and the installation of a rock crusher enabled
us to undertake the construction of the above concrete buildings.
This form of construction is cheaper under our conditions than wood. Rock,
sand and labor on the ground without cost.
RELIEF HOME 769
The new Infirmary building, which will be used as a Hospital for chronic
cases, is well under way and should be finished by January 1st, 1910.
This building will accommodatf about 250 patients. It is of reinforced
concrete and fireproof throughout.
The installation of a Lathe, Drillpress, Jig Saw and Circular Saw in our
Machine Shop has effected a considerable saving, enabling us to make all small
repairs to machinery, wagons, etc.
During the year we installed a new 5,000 gallon oil storage tank, a 42 x 96
copper washing machine in our laundry, and a rock crusher. We also purchased
1.000 feet new fire hose. This fall we plan to erect a four room bungalow,
new chicken houses of sanitary construction, and an addition to the stable to
accommodate six horses.
ENTERTAINMENTS
We have had many entertainments during the year which were thoroughly
enjoyed by the inmates, and I would take this opportunity of thanking the
following institutions, etc., for the pleasure they brought to our people: "The
Helpers"; St. Vincent de Paul Society, St. Patrick's Parish, St. Joseph's
Parish, Sacred Heart Parish, Holy Cross Parish; Catholic Ladies' Aid Society;
Catholic Ladies' Aid Society — Junior; Miss Lorine Allen; Epworth League;
League of the Cross Band; El Vespero Parlor, N. D. G. W. ; Polytechnic High
School.
The purchase at Christmas time of a moving picture machine has added
a great deal to the pleasure of the old people, and is the most popular form of
entertainment.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I would strongly recommend that land immediately adjoining us on the
east be purchased from the Sutro estate. This purchase would connect us with
the City's holdings on Twin Peaks and add a large tract of pasture and tillable
land to the Relief Home and enable us to maintain sufficient cows to supply
all milk needed in the Institution. At present we are milking twenty-four
cows and are buying twelve cans milk daily.
That part of the Relief Home site lying west of the Laguna Honda road
is of very little value to us, owing to its inaccessibility. As homes are building
all around this land its sale would bring in a sum large enough to purchase the
land suggested above.
During the latter part of the fiscal year I commenced the collection of
$15 monthly from relatives of inmates who are able to contribute to the sup-
port of same, and entered claims against estates, etc., amounting to nearly
$3,000, all of which, I believe, will be paid to the City.

Report of Emergency Hospitals
San Francisco, July 15th, 1909.
To the Honorable Board of Health, City and County of San Francisco, Cal.
Gentlemen: — I have the honor to submit to your Honorable Board the
annual report of the Emergency Hospitals, including the Central, Harbor, Mis-
sion, Potrero and Detention Hospitals and the Park Emergency Ambulance
Station, enumerating the cases treated in each hospital, their disposition, also the
number of Ambulance calls responded to during the fiscal year ending June,
1909.
Since the last annual report was rendered the new Mission Emergency
Hospital has been opened and is fully equipped for emergency work. This
hospital, located at Twenty-third and Potrero Avenue, is but a temporary one,
as provision has been made in the plans of the San Francisco Hospital for a
permanent Emergency Hospital. For the three months, April, May and June,
1909, there has been a total of 415 cases treated at the Mission Emergency
Hospital and there is every reason to believe that the hospital fills a gap in
the chain of Emergency Hospitals.
Respectfully,
WALLACE I. TERRY, M. D.,
Chief Surgeon, Emergency Hospitals.

Report of Isolation Hospital
San Francisco, July 5, 1909.
Dr. R. G. Brodrick. Health Officer, San Francisco.
Dear Sir: — I beg leave to submit the following report for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1909:
LEPER DEPARTMENT.
Number on hand, year ending June 30, 1908 17
Number admitted, year ending June 30, 1909 3
Number escaped, year ending June 30, 1909 1
Number of deaths, year ending June 30, 1909 3
Number remaining, year ending June 30, 1909 16
It is with pleasure that I have to report that the combining of the three
institutions, viz: the plague, smallpox and leper, under one general management,
has been productive of an increased efficiency in caring for the patients of this
institution.
I would again call your attention to the fact in the past year we have been
compelled to receive two lepers who should have been the charges of the com-
munity from which they came. One patient (a Chinaman) came to this City
from Madera, California, a town that he has resided in for years; the other, a
Hawaiian, who claims to have been living in Oakland for three years prior to
his admission.
When one stops to consider that this disease is active but for a certain time
and then remains, as it were, latent, and that in many cases it does not shorten
life, the average duration of life being about eleven years, during all of which,
time the man is a charge on this community, it would appear to me to be but
a simple act of justice to return these people from whence they came.
Article 3, General Regulations, of the Treasury Department, states:
"Lepers may be accepted for transportation under proper supervision, when
en route to a seaport for deportation; also for transportation to a designated
place for care and treatment, with the necessary consent of the proper health
authorities, provided proper sanitary precautions are enforced with regard to
the leper en route to destination."
From this then I would judge that the Department has power to re-ship
these people back to their homes.
A close study of the objections urged by property owners to this institu-
tion being maintained at its present location on the ground that it is a menace
to the health of those in the neighborhood shows their fears are groundless.
Leprosy has been designated as, and is, a disease of semi-civilization.
When a leper has been introduced into a community made up of semi-civilized
people the advance of the disease can readily be traced among them, but where
civilization prevails to its highest degree, lepers have been admitted and no bad
results have folloAved therefrom. For example, it is a well known fact that no
increase followed the introduction of a large number of Norwegian lepers in
Minnesota. Again, in the large centers of Europe lepers have been, and are,
used for the purpose of clinical instruction and no attempt at segregation of
them is made. The nearest approach to the disease developing in California that
I am familiar with is that of "S. J." (a negro), a United States soldier, in
792 ISOLATION HOSPITAL
whom the disease manifested itself after his return from the Philippines, where
he had been on duty but for a short period of six months. Prior to his going to
the Islands the man had never left the United States.
No change has been noted in the treatment of these cases. Nastin has
pro\Ted worthless.
The gift of six oak, leather cushion, Morris chairs by the Board of Super-
visors to the inmates of this institution was one that was greatly appreciated
by them and added much to their comfort.
SMALLPOX DEPARTMENT.
Number on hand, year ending June 30, 1908 5
Number admitted, year ending June 30, 1909 101
Number discharged, year ending June 30, 1909 103
Number escaped, year ending June 30, 1909 1
Number of deaths, year ending June 30, 1909 1
Number of diagnostic visits, year ending June 30, 1909 665
Number remaining, year ending June 30, 1909 1
The new Smallpox Hospital was formerly opened on June 21st, 1909, by
Mayor Taylor and President Ophuls of the Board of Health, and for a week
prior to its occupancy was open for inspection by the Medical profession and
the Hospital Authorities of the City. It is built in the shape of the letter "E"
with a southerly exposure. The lower long bar represents the two wards for
male patients, the middle bar is the administration building, while the upper
long bar represents the women's ward.
This building fulfills in many ways the modern ideas of sanitarians in the
care of infectious diseases like smallpox. Normally the capacity is fifty patients.
The administration is entirely separate from the wards, so that the business of
the institution may be conducted with entire safety to the community.
As erected the place admits of the complete segregation of the sexes. Lib-
eral provision in the shape of private rooms has been made for the care of
children where they can be placed in charge of their parents and thus prevented
from annoying adults who may be here. Two thousand (2,000) cubic feet rep-
resents the area to each bed; this permits of our doubling our capacity without
the slightest embarrassment. The building is heated by hot water radiators,
is lighted by electricity, and cooking is done on a gas range, thus diminishing to
a very marked degree the danger of fire. A modern steam laundry forms part
of the equipment. Every aperture of the place has permanent wire net mesh
screens so that the danger of insects entering the place is a remote one.
I think, withal, the Department may pride itself upon possessing an insti-
tution the equal to any in the West.
It would be well in the construction of municipal hospitals, that the wishes
of the Department of Public Health be paramount and that they should not be
at the mercy of a subsidiary portion of another department whose knowledge
of hospitals is undoubtedly deficient. Many features of this place are undesir-
able, and as time goes on their undesirability becomes more apparent, and had
the original ideas of the representatives of the Health Department been carried
out all these would have been obviated.
It will be a matter of but a very short time until the grounds about the
institution will be covered by cement or bitumen, which will permit of their
being washed down.
The same remarks made in regard to the Leper Department being consid-
ered by some as a menace to the health of the community will apply to the
Smallpox.
™!
ISOLATION HOSPITAL 793
The general trend of opinion of medical scientists is that smallpox is due
to a germ that, as yet, has not been isolated. The theory of aerial convection
is not, to my mind, tenable. If one were to draw a series of circles on the City
map, having the Hospital for a central point and the circumference of the circles
from a quarter to one mile and then take the residences of the patients, they
would find in no case can the infection be traced to the Hospital. No more
admirably adapted situation for an institution of this kind is to be found in
this peninsula. With the exception of one dwelling the nearest habitation is four
blocks away, and there is every evidence to prove that the place will never be
a residential district. Fresh air and sunshine are the best germicides with which
to combat any disease, and it is very evident that the danger of infection to
those in this vicinity is reduced to a minimum.

The care of the City's sick poor has been conducted this year, if anything,
more effectively than last. This was the natural result of a better understanding
of the work by those taking part in it. An analysis of referred sick calls would
show that they are much more frequent during the rainy months when the float-
ing population is gathered into the towns. At that season perhaps one-third
of all applications for medical relief are made in behalf of acutely ill persons;
most of the remainder come from persons suffering from chronic ailments, who
were they not destitute might properly have been treated at a clinic. A few
might be termed "miscellaneous." Some are cases of insanity or of acute
alcoholic delirium, which should have been referred to the police patrol; others
are cases phoned in without the knowledge of the person for whom help is
requested by irresponsible neighbors; yet others are sent in by lodging-house
keepers, who take this means to rid themselves of impecunious lodgers; and a
few are actual "spite calls" sent in by busy-body neighbors. During the sum-
mer months, on the other hand, applications for medical aid are made uniformly
inbehalf of acutely ill persons.
At the suggestion of the City Physician, the Chief of Police issued a general
order that no police officer should report a sick call till he had verified it by a
personal investigation. An ordinance was also asked for which should make
it a punishable misdemeanor to send in ambulance calls or sick calls in the
names of rational sick persons without their knowledge and acquiescence. A
copy of this proposed ordinance is appended.
Of late the withdrawal from the field of the "Special Sanitation" force has
caused this work to become several times heavier than it was formerly. For
example, in April, 1908, in addition to his other duties, the City Physician was
called upon to investigate 18 sick calls, whereas in April, 1909, this number
had increased to 69. When it is remembered that these calls come, for the most
part, from the periphery of San Francisco, that they are nearer Ocean View,
North Beach, South San Francisco, and the Cliff House than they are to Market
Street, and that the majority of them are reported in during the latter half of

the afternoon, it will become at once apparent that some more expeditious and
economical method of covering them will have to be devised. In fact, such a
plan is now in process of evolution. Had it not been for the intelligent and
loyal co-operation given the City Physician by those members of the department
with whom he is brought into official association, the present method would
probably not have stood up under this added strain during the latter months of
the fiscal year.
The City's tuberculous poor present a problem whose gravity cannot be
overstated. Only a small percentage of those who have sought relief from the
Department of Health have received it. This was because the accommodations
and maintenance funds at the disposal of the City for the care of tuberculous
sick persons were inadequate to the demands made upon the Department. At
the present time, an anti-tuberculosis league is trying to combat the inroads of
this dread disease.
The work of the Department of Health in this field of endeavor would per-
haps be best accomplished by the establishment of a separate anti-tuberculosis
bureau. The argument in favor of such a plan is, however, too lengthy to admit
of its introduction here.
At this writing, widespread interest is being shown in a sanitation exhibit
with which the State Board of Health has fitted up a car, and which is being
sent all over the State. Not only is the mode of transmission of tuberculosis
graphically shown by means of models, but in the same way, the pollution of
Avater supplies, of milk, the distribution of typhoid and the transmission of
bubonic plague, of yellow fever, of diphtheria and of a number of other con-
tagious diseases is demonstrated.
In March, 1900, the City Physician saw in Zurich, Switzerland, an example
of the Boston Adjustible Schoolroom Furniture. In November, 1907, after the
voting of the Public Schools bond issue, he urged that the Board of Health
recommend this furniture to the Board of Education for the equipment of the
new schools. In March, 1908, the matter was again called to the attention of
the Board of Education by the Health Officer.
The following extract from a communication from the Secretary of the
Board of Education is of interest:
"I am directed by the Board to state that this department has adopted
for use the adjustible desk and chair you refer to, and expects to use the same
wherever the best interests of th classroom seem to require. Awards of bids
have been made and contracts are now being drawn covering these supplies."
At the City Prison, conditions are identical with those which obtained last
year and are, on the whole, satisfactory. It is regretable that the majority of
the police justices have again lapsed into the habit of detaining at the prison
for weeks and even months at a time persons charged usually with felonies.
The prison is not adapted to this sort of use, and these prolonged detentions
are inimical to the health of those detained and, in certain instances, to the
health of all inmates of the prison.
Having encountered in Chinatown, young courtesans whom he had treated
at the jail for acute syphilis, the City Physician has felt impelled to ask for
an ordinance which shall enable him to detain at the jail or hospital prisoners
found to be suffering from communicable venereal disorders until such time as
they shall have ceased to be a menace to the health of the community.
This year shows little or no change at the County jails. At Jail No. 3, the
women's jail, a bath house is being installed. Thanks in part to the vigorous
soap and water sanitation conducted by the matrons, there has been gratifyingly
little illness in Jail No. 3 this year.
At Jail No. 2 a druggist has been installed. This official has been in-
structed to make complete rounds, inspecting each prisoner separately, at least
once daily, and all prisoners reported sick at least twice daily. He also inspects
all male prisoners when they strip for the bath or admission. At the conclusion
79(i CITY PHYSICIAN
of his morning rounds he reports the condition of the prisoners to the Central
Health Office, notifying it if there is immediate need for the presence of the
City Physician. It is the aim of the City Physician to make, as formerly, com-
plete rounds twice a week in addition to making whatever special calls are re-
quired of him. The installation of a druggist has been a step in the right direc-
tion. The prisoners receive prompter and more frequent attention than hereto-
fore; the druggist. has been instructed to minister to slight functional disturb-
ances and to perform minor surgical dressings, without waiting for the specific
instructions to do so. The City Physician is still of the opinion voiced in his
original recommendation that the herding together of hundreds of individuals,
many of whom are necessarily of defective physical condition, calls for the con-
stant presence of a medical attendant.
The very great attention given in the public prints during the past year to
the defects of our jails is rapidly educating public opinion to the need of whole-
sale reforms. The ancient idea that the spirit of penal institutions should be
essentially retributive, has in more enlightened communities given place to the
humane and socially economical concept that their purpose is whenever possible
educational and curative; that is, a penal institution should be conducted, not
with a view to "getting even" with the social offender, but with the basic pur-
pose of educating him to a right understanding of his relation to society and in
fitting him to take a Tiseful place in that society.
Again a very considerable proportion of the inmates of a jail have been
committed thither for variable but inadequate lengths of time, because of alco-
holic intemperance or of drug habits. These persons are never cured.
No great mathematical proficiency is needed to show that these unfortunates
could be committed to a hospital or trades farm until such time as they had
become cured and potentially self-supporting at a less ultimate cost to the
community.
In the meantime to quote my report of last year, "There is immediate need
at the Jail of an infirmary, of a method for segregating prisdners suffering from
pulmonary tuberculosis, of an efficient and cheap method for maintaining anti-
septic the cells and corridors of the jails, of disposing of the jail garbage and
of sterilizing vermin infested bedding." The jail sewer should also be con-
nected up with the main sewer, a scant eighth of a mile distant.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) JAMES T. W ATKINS, M. D.
City Physician.

Coroner's Report
San Francisco, July 30, 1909.
To the Honorable Edward B. Taylor, Mayor,
In and for the City and County of San Francisco.
Dear Sir: —
In compliance with Section 9, Article XVI of the Charter of the City and
County of San Francisco, I herewith submit Annual Report for the office of
Coroner, for the fiscal year 1908-1909.
We believe that the Coroner's Office at the present time is in excellent
condition, the office itself, although in a temporary leased building, is fairly
well equipped for the work we have to do.
MORGUE
The morgue proper has been remodeled, and from the standpoint of cleanli-
ness, ventilation, etc., is said to compare favorably with the best morgues in
the country. The interior, woodwork, etc., has been treated with waterproof
white paint. The floors, of cement, have been properly drained, and white
marble stands have been provided. Each slab has been curtained off with white
curtains, so that each individual body is in a separate compartment; thus, when
relatives call to view a body, no unsightly scenes meet their eyes — each viewing
simply the body he has come to see. The morgue is airy and well ventilated.
kept scrupulously clean, and free from flies and odors. From a sanitary
standpoint the condition is excellent.
STABLE
The stable is kept scrupulously clean, and comparatively free from flies and
odors.
AMBULANCE
We have substituted for the grewsome dead wagon and the old-fashioned
wooden coffin, a modern ambulance with stretcher. Instead of driving to a
residence, hospital, hotel or office, and having to carry int'o these places a wooden
coffin, thus attracting a morbid crowd, our ambulance drives up, the stretcher
is taken into the place, the body is placed upon a rubber sheet on the stretcher
and covered with a white sheet, so that when it is carried out it is to all intent
and purpose as though a sick person were being removed. The ambulance has
nbthing to indicate that it is from the morgue — simply the words "City Ambu-
lance" being upon the panel.
We have tried in every possible way, in the handling of bodies of deceased
persons, to remove as many of the grewsome features as we could consistent with
our duties in such matters. In every possible way we have endeavored to spare
the feelings of the family and friends of deceased persons.
AUTOPSIES
This department, presided over by Dr. John R. Clark, has been a very busy
one during the year. In all, 1019 actual autopsies have been performed, besides
553 post-mortem examinations have been made.
880 COROXEK
We have endeavored to leave as many bodies as we could, consistent with
our duties, in the homes of the deceased — making our investigations and sending
our autopsy surgeon to the home whenever possible.
The multifarious duties of the autopsy surgeon, he not only having to do
the work at the morgue and attend inquests, but has also to follow cases to the
Police Courts and Superior Courts, where he is often detained at a witness, some-
times waiting his turn for hours, and which prevents our sending him on more
I believe that, on account of the amount of work, an assistant autopsy
surgeon is necessary, and made application to the Honorable Board of Super-
visors this year for the appointment of such assistant. I believe that the public
would greatly appreciate the work that an assistant autopsy surgeon might do in
the line of investigating cases and performing many autopsies in the home, which
are now compelled by force of circumstances to be brought to the morgue for
autopsy.
The work of this department has been most satisfactory. The autopsies
have been performed in a conscientious and careful manner, and I believe that it
would be very hard for any case of a criminal nature to pass this department
without detection.
The work of this department is very important from a police standpoint.
TOXICOLOGIST
I wish to commend the exceedingly conscientious, skillful, scientific and
careful manner in which Prof. Frank T. Green, our City Toxicologist, has per-
formed his work. He has cheerfully examined the contents of all stomachs, and
all other specimens sent him for analysis, besides assisting the Police Depart-
ment in any suspicious case that has demanded their attention. This has been
done at a very small compensation. I believe that his compensation should be
increased, if possible.
CORONER'S DEPUTIES
The work of our employees has been most satisfactory. They have been
very prompt and painstaking in their work; have often worked long past their
regular hours in accomplishing their work, and have been very courteous and
attentive to the public.
UNDERTAKERS
It has been our object to treat the undertakers with the utmost courtesy and
attention — giving equal privileges to all, and showing special favors to none.
We have studiously avoided the recommending of any undertaker to the
friends or relatives of deceased persons; thus eliminating any possibility for the
chance of petty graft on the part of this office.
We have endeavored to expedite their business — having our juries report
each day at 12 o'clock, so that all bodies may be promptly viewed, and after-
wards cared for by the undertaker.
JURIES
The juries have been carefully selected from our best citizens in order that
the best results might be obtained from their investigations.
These juries have been selected by an officer of the Police Department,
detailed for that purpose by the Chief of Police.
During the year 210 juries have been impaneled, 2120 citizens having served
in that capacity.
COROXEE 881
The thanks of the City should be given to these men who have given their
time and attention to these investigations without recompense. They have cheer-
fully responded for the duty of viewing the bodies, afterwards giving their
time and patience at the hearings, which are often prolonged.
The recommendations of our juries have in many cases done much to prevent
the needless loss of life through carelessness and otherwise during these years
of exceeding building activity; and the good they have done will live long
beyond the time when they themselves have passed away.
An example of the valuable function of the Coroner's Jury, when properly
exercised, may be found in the recommendation of the jury in the case of the
young lady whose death was caused by James Edward Cunningham, which brought
forcibly to public attention the evils of the notorious "pay-check" system, and
which will no doubt bring about a remedy for this widespread evil.
I feel that the careful work of these juries has done much to decrease the
number of accidents through carelessness during the past — thus saving the lives
of many workmen, and on the other hand saving the employer the anxiety and
responsibility of damage suits following accidents.
INQUESTS
The inquests are held at the Coroner's office. During the year 672 inquests
have been held, and 553 investigations otherwise made.
In has been the object of the Coroner to hold these inquests in a careful and
conscientious manner, so that the best results may be obtained, and, if possible,
remedies for evils discovered. It has been a year of great building activity and
consequent confusion in the city in all lines of work.
It has been our endeavor to conduct all inquests in a fair and impartial
manner — placing the responsibility where responsibility belonged. The reputa-
tion of an office for careful investigation does more than can be imagined towards
saving the lives of workingmen and others. Contractors are more careful in the
erection of their stagings, the providing of riggings, etc., in order to prevent
accidents, if they feel certain that, in the event of accident, they will be held
responsible. Thus the double object is accomplished of saving the contractor
from resulting damage suits; but most important of all — the saving of the life
of the workingman.
In all accident cases we have made very careful investigation and recom-
mended to the Honorable Board of Supervisors ordinances to prevent the recur-.
j'riu-e of such accident. This pertains particularly to buildings in the course of
erection, elevator shafts, light wells, etc.
Ordinances have been framed and are being framed to cover these recom-
mendations.
During this year there were but 14 falls in and from buildings, as against
49 the previous year.
The street car accidents have been very carefully investigated, and the
number of deaths from street cars has been diminished 25 per cent. We feel
that this result has been brought about, to a large extent, by placing the re-
sponsibility in each case where it belonged.
I believe that street car- employees will not be found handling their cars with
that degree of recklessness with which they were handled previously; and that
they are more courteous and considerate for the safety of the traveling public.
Trouble was had at the beginning of the term with the street car companies
in regard to furnishing the names of witnesses taken by motormen and con-
ductors at the time of the occurrence of accidents. In these cases of street car
accidents the Coroner's Office is handicapped in its investigation — the person
often dying some hours or days after the accident; by this tinit, witnesses have
scattered, and it is almost impossible for the Police Department or Coroner's
office to get the names of eye-witnesses to said accidents. Eye-witnesses of the
£82 COKONEB
accident at the time volunteer their names to the conductors or motormeu to serve
as witnesses, or else are solicited by the conductor or motorman to give their
names as witnesses. The Coroner held that he had a right, for the purpose of
his investigation, to the names of these witnesses so taken, as they were the only
ones in possession of the names of these witnesses. The Car Company took the
stand that, these names taken by their employees and handed into their law de-
partment, were in the nature of ''Privileged Communications,' ' and refused to
produce them. The matter was forced by the Coroner, contempt proceedings
threatened, with the result that, instead of pushing the matter to an issue
before the courts, a compromise was effected in the matter, the head of the
legal department of the Car Company agreeing to give the names of these wit-
nesses to the Coroner for subpoena, but claiming the matter simply as a courtesy
to the Office, and not as a Coroner's right. We have had no further trouble in
obtaining the names of these witnesses.
WITNESSES
During the year we have examined 4718 witnesses. In the examination of
our witnesses we have endeavored to be as courteous and considerate as possible.
— endeavoring to get from them as correct and concise a statement as possible.
Often in the questioning of witnesses it is necessary to approach the lines of
severity, but in all cases we have endeavored to treat them in as courteous
manner as possible, consistent with our duty of obtaining exact and concise in-
formation as to facts. It must be remembered that there is always two sides to
every question, and that each side is nearly always prejudiced in favor of his or
her own particular views of the case. It is the duty of the Coroner and jury
to get at the facts in an impartial manner, regardless of the possible prejudice
of the one side or the other.
Witnesses in these cases deserve the thanks of the city for giving up their
business and time, and, as may be appreciated, in many instances at financial
sacrifice. They have all cheerfully responded to the summons — freely giving
their time and service as dutiful citizens.
NEW MORGUE
While the Coroner's Office and morgue are, at the present time, adequate,
'the advent of the new Coroner's Office will assist very much in the handling of
the business of this office for the city.
The new Coroner's Department, as planned by the Coroner and the late
City Architect Tharp, will give to the City and County of San Francisco one of
the finest and most up-to-date morgues in the world.
The many features in the new morgue, the result of experience of years in
the work of this office, will place this department upon a splendid footing.
RECOMMENDATIONS BY JURIES
Attached hereto you will find some of the Recommendations by Juries, and
hereinbefore referred to.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. B. W. LELAND,
Coroner.
COEONEE 8 So
The following are some of the Recommendations by Coroner's Juries. In
many cases the recommendations, as you will see, are made to prevent other
similar accidents, especially with regard to the lives of workmen.
Lewellyn Tozer — By Electric Car.
' 'And we further find that said accident could have been avoided if said
car had been properly equipped with side guard rails. We further recommend
that the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco take
action to compel the United Railroads to equip their cars with side guard rails,
so that such accidents may be avoided in the future."
James W. Delehanty, Fireman on Steamer carrying Lumber. — By fall down
passageway through lumber to his sleeping quarters.
' 'And find from the testimony that the officers of the ship are guilty of
great negligence in not allowing for a safe and proper passage to said quarters
when loading the vessel. The jury recommends that proper precautions be
taken in such cases to safeguard the employees."
D. Piacintini. — By fall through an elevator shaft in building in course of con-
struction.
''That the deceased came to his death by accidentally falling through an
elevator shaft from first floor to basement of said building, and we recommend
that ordinances be drafted covering the protection of employees and others when
working on or in buildings in course of construction or repair, by barricading or
covering all wells, light shafts or other openings in floors or platforms in said
buildings.' '
George Christie. — By fall through an unprotected elevator-way.
''That the boy met his death due to the carelessness of the company not
having elevator door closed. And we, the jury, do recommend that the Board
of Public Works detail or appoint an elevator inspector to see that all elevators
are properly enclosed and protected with up-to-date appliances."
Alice Jordan. — By walking into bay from apron at Ferry slip.
"That said Miss Alice Jordan met said death accidentally, and we, the
jury, recommend that some safeguards be furnished ferry patrons at ends of
each and every slip."
Alfred Imhaus. — By being knocked off blind side of electric car by passenger
on blind side of passing car.
' 'We, the jury, recommend that an ordinance be prepared, prohibiting the
riding on the blind side of all cars, and that the police enforce such ordinance
rigidly, and that the Coroner, T. B. W. Leland, call the attention of the proper
authorities to this verdict."
John McDonald. — By electric shock.
''That his death was accidental, and find that the company should observe
more precaution in having laborers working around high voltage wires."
John Nelson. — By fall through lift shaft, building in course of construction.
"That his death was due to fall through a lift shaft. That the opening was
not properly protected. We further recommend that the building laws be so
amended as to afford better protection to working men about such shafts."
St. George Hotel Fire. — Six lives lost.
"That the fire originated in the building known as the St. George Hotel
from unknown causes. And we further recommend a close and rigid inspection
88-t COROXKTC
of all such buildings Avhere human life is at stake, and suggest the abolishment
of these buildings not up to the standard of the fire laws of the City and County
of San Francisco."
Bert Shephard. — By descending elevator.
"That Bert Shephard came to his death by carelessness on the part of
superintendent and watchman. We further recommend that, hereafter, when
buildings are under construction, that the power shall be shut off elevators while
men are working in the immediate vicinity of the shaft.
A. A. McDonnell. — By fall through elevator shaft.
"That the death was accidental and due to a fall through an elevator
shaft, and we further find the death was due to the negligence of the contractor
in failure to provide proper barriers for the elevator shaft.
Gustave Lindquist. — By illuminating gas.
1 'A case of accident. The jury also suggests to the Coroner of San Fran-
cisco to try at the next Legislature to have a law to remedy the evil — regulating
the placing of combination gas and electric light fixtures in hotels, lodging-
houses, etc."
Harry Grapes. — By elevator.
"That Harry Grapes came to his death through accident, and recommend
more attention be paid to inspection of elevators by the proper and responsible
authorities.
Carolina Brasch. — By gun-shot. Pay-check evil.
"From the testimony adduced at this inquest, it appears that the motive
for the crime lay in the fact that, at the present time, Gray Brothers,, as well
as other firms employing ordinary labor, have a pernicious system of paying said
labor in checks at drafts at dates remote from the time of rendition of services;
the time of payment is ordinarily delayed two or three months and more ; and
that the poor laborer is compelled to discount his earnings with brokers at rates
varying from 20 per cent and more, if he wishes to obtain cash at this time.
This paper he is often, unable to discount at all, and, meanwhile, he is com-
pelled to await the pleasure of these employers until their pay-day arrives. This
evil we find to be a prevailing one throughout the State of California, and we,
the jury, therefore recommend that prompt measures be taken to relieve the dis-
tress of this great class of our unfortunate fellow citizens who seem to have no
one to protect them from these evils.
"We recommend that the State Legislature, when it next convenes, promptly
enact laws remedying these evils, and that greater powers be sriveu to the State
Commission of Labor to investigate these cases and compel the enforcement of
said laws when enacted.
"We further appeal to the San Francisco Bar Association, as the most
representative body comprising the highest intelligence of the legal profession,
to take an active interest in this matter and frame a law to be presented for
passage at the next Legislature, and that, in the interim of the meeting of the
next Legislature, the various County Boards of Supervisors provide ordinances
within their powers to control the existing evil in the counties which they may
represent.' '
At llie present time, Alcoholics and those suffering from drug habits, such
as morphine, opium, cocaine, etc., men who have never committed crime, but with
whom the use of alcohol and these drugs is a disease, are compelled by fore.- oi
circumstances to be taken up by the Police, brought before a Magistrate, and
sentenced for periods in the County Jail in order to bring about a possible reform.
CORONER 885
They are confined in the County Jail for various periods, according to the
frequency of the offense, and become known as "jail-birds,'" although, possibly,
never having committed crime. We felt that these unfortunates should not be
sent to the County Jail, or be compelled to be identified with the criminal atmos-
phere surrounding a prison.
We find in many cases the parents or friends of these unfortunates are will-
ing to pay, in the beginning, for their care in private institutions, but eventually
the expense becomes so great, that, no matter what their disposition might be,
they are compelled to abandon the effort, and allow the unfortunate to drift only
to find himself at last confined to the County Jail surrounded as before mentioned.
We believe that either a separate institution should be provided for these
rases, or a department in the new City and County Hospital should be estab-
lished where, in either case, they could have the most scientific treatment for
the cure of their habits. With such an institution provided, it is our opinion,
there Avill be a great decrease in crime, for, under the present system, they
naturally drift toward the commission of criminal offenses.
We feel that this class of cases should be dealt with and treated as
humanely and with as great consideration as are our insane, for whom the state
so generously provides.
Many of these cases, if scientifically treated in the early stages, and given
the care which they deserve, might be cured of the habit, and not only become
useful and respected citi/ens, but relieve many a poor mother and father of a
life of worriment.
Edward Hill. — A prisoner at County Jail.
''That the said death was from pneumonia, natural cause, and further
recommend that some place should be provided in the new City and County
Hospital instead as at present in the County Jail in San Francisco to cover such
cases — alcoholics, etc.''
A. Blessing. — Prisoner at the County Jail.
Recommending in the interest of humanity, that a hospital be established
at the County Jail and resident physician appointed.
"That deceased, in a fit of temporary insanity, set fire to the bed clothing,
which he had saturated with coal oil. We further find, that the practice of
allowing prisoners the use of coal oil and oil lamps in cells should be abolished,
and that, in the interest of humanity, a hospital be established at the County
Jail and a resident phvsician appointed.''
James Sheldon. — A Stevedore, killed by fall of Coal Bucket in hold of vessel.
Drawing attention to the apparently dangerous apparatus for the hoisting
of coal i'ruin vessels.
Recommending that more care be taken, and the providing of safe apparatus.
to guard against future similar accidents.
Jean Tisnerat. — Killed in the wrecking of the City Hall.
Calling attention to gross negligence on the part of the contractor for not
taking proper precautions for the protection of workmen who were working on
weakened floors.
Nick Theodoralos. — Killed by falling floor in wrecking of City Hall. Finding
/ the contractor at fault for not having provided more safe means to
avoid the accident.
"That he came to his death by the giving way of the floor in a portion of
the ruins of the City Hall on McAllister Street side, and we further find that
the contractor is at fault for not having provided more safe means to avoid the-
886 .
accident, and in view of a preceding similar accident in which a floor had given
way, the laborers should have been specially warned as to the danger of possible
weak floors/ '
Robert F. L. Mathias. — A Conductor of the United Railroads Co.
"That his death was accidental, caused by coming in contact with a trolley
pole. We further recommend that United Railroads take such action to avoid
further accidents both to their employes and traveling public, either by removal
of pole or that portion of the track."
Adolph Mohr. — A Cement Worker, killed in elevator shaft by descending elevator
weights.
"That the said Adolph Mohr came to his death from being crushed by an
elevator weight, accidentally, at 612 Howard Street, and we further recommend
that before any elevator be accepted for running, that all elevator weights be
enclosed upon all sides."
James Delahanty — Boy killed in freight elevator.
"Came to his death by Violating the rules in operating or riding on elevator.
We further recommend that we exonerate Bolte & Braden from all blame per-
taining to this accident. We also recommend that all elevators used for freight
and passengers should be conducted by a regular operator."
Frank Miller. — A Lineman. Killed by a fall from an electric pole, due to break-
ing of insulator pin.
"That said death was accidental, caused by the position he was standing
in at the moment when the defective wooden pin of the insulator broke. We
also suggest that the department of electricity investigate the best methods of
wiring where heavy strains are encountered, and draft and have ordinances
accordingly."
Charles Hovey. — Foreman of Construction. Killed by fall down an elevator
shaft.
"That he came to his death from an accidental fall from a platform of a
material elevator. We, the Jury, recommend that the attention of the Board of
Public Works be called to the necessity of further safe-guarding these elevators
and that ordinances be drawn and passed covering this particular class of con-
struction work. ' '
Roy Curl. — Young man drowned in "Stadium" swimming tank, Golden Gate
Park.
"That said death was accidental. And recommend that the Park Commis-
sioners provide for a person to be placed in charge of this public tank whose
duties shall be to act as a life saver — rescuing any one who is taken with the
cramps, or is in any clanger of becoming drowned. Also, that life lines, life
buoys, etc., be furnished and prompt cognizance be taken of the dangers of this
public swimming place."
Al Lang. — An Iron Worker. Killed by descending elevator weights.
"He came to his death by elevator accident. We recommend that proper
safe-guards be placed on all elevator weights under construction."
COBOXER 887
COMMUNICATIONS
The following are some of the communications from and to the Coroner
referring to Verdicts by Coroner's Juries, and the necessity of legislation for
the protection of the public and the safe-guarding of lives :
"Hon. Michael Casey, President Board of Public Works.
''Dear Sir: As you are aware, during the great building activity now
going on, many workmen are losing their lives on the various buildings that are
being constructed. Often, owing to the lack of technical knowledge of build-
ing rules and regulations, it is very hard for Jurymen or the Coroner or his
deputies to exactly understand the cause and responsibility for said accidents.
We are therefore compelled at times to require the professional knowledge of
those who are familiar with the construction of buildings and the rules and
laws governing same.
"During my past administrations your Board kindly consented to furnish
us with a building inspector to assist us in the investigation of these cases..
This has been done by telephoning to your headquarters for such assistance.
We would like occasionally to call upon you for such assistance, and will promise-
not to call upon you unless the case is one of such a nature as to require expert
assistance. In case we do call upon your department we would like to get
prompt recognition, as often the evidence is removed very shortly after the
accident occurs, and we do not like to delay building progress ponding investi-
gation.
"If your honorable Board will continue to give us the desired assistance,
I would be glad to have you issue the necessary orders with the proper heads
of departments, so that, by telephoning, we may have some one promptly detailed
to make the investigation with our deputy.
''Thanking you in advance for your courtesy in the matter, I remain
"Very truly yours,
"THOS. B. W. LELAND,
"Coroner."
The following communication, referring to the deaths of Frank Miller and
Charles Hovey, was sent to
"Building Committee, Hon. Board of Supervisors, and to Hon. Board of Public
Works :
"Enclosed please find Verdicts of Coroner's Juries, with recommendations.
We trust that you will give these recommendations your serious consideration,
as they are the result of serious investigation by representative citizens serving
as jurors. The desire is, if possible, to prevent by ordinance future similar acci-
dents occurring.
"Very truly yours,
"THOS. B. W. LELAXD,
"Coroner."
"To the Building Committee, Hon. Board of Supervisors,"
Also sent to —
"To the Hon. Board of Public Works:
"Enclosed please find Verdict of Coroner's Jury in the case of Al Lang, an
Iron Worker, who was killed while placing iron strips in elevator shaft of Security
Building, Halleck and Sansome Streets.
"It appeared from the evidence that the elevator weights were unenclosed
on the floor (first floor) of the building whore Lang was working.
888 COEOXEB
"It also appeared from the testimony of your building inspector, that there
is no law or ordinance at the present time governing the enclosing of elevator
counter-weights, but that it is a custom among builders to enclose them; that
there was nothing in this stage of the erection of this building to have pre-
vented their being enclosed, and that, if said weights had been enclosed, this
man would not have lost his life.
"Our jury believes that Ordinances should be drafted requiring the proper
enclosing of elevator weights for the protection of workmen employed on these
buildings.' '
"Trusting that you will give this matter your attention to the end that
no more lives may be sacrificed in a manner which it seems may be easily pre-
vented, I remain,
' 'Yours very truly,
"THOS. B. W. LELAND,
"Coroner."
"To the Hon. Board of Park Commissioners, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco:
"Gentlemen: Enclosed please find copy of verdict rendered by Coroner's
Jury in the matter of the death of Roy Curl: Said death occurring June 16th,
in Stadium swimming tank, Golden Gate Park.
"Your attention is particularly directed to recommendation by the jury
in the matter of Attendant and Equipment for the purpose of saving life following
possible accident.
"Sincerely yours,
"THOS. B. W. LELAXD,
"Coroner." '
The following communication was forwarded to the —
' 'Hon. Building Trades Council, San Francisco, Cal.
Also to the
"Hon. Labor Council, San Francisco, Cal.
"Gentlemen: Enclosed please find copies of Verdicts of our Juries in two
cases recently investigated by us. They contain recommendations which I feel
it is my duty to draw to your attention, to those most interested, so that practi-
cal results may obtain ; hence my obje'ct in forwarding to you these recommenda-
tions of our Juries, who are representative citizens of this city.
' 'The result of our investigation in these cases is, that lives of working-
men and others are not properly safe-guarded in the matter of the enclosure
or barricading of elevator wells, light wells, and other openings in floors of build-
ings under construction and it is our opinion that while the work may
be interfered with to some extent by the placing of proper barricades
or safe-guards, the main result will be accomplished, in that many lives of work-
men may be saved during the coining years of exceeding" activity in the building
line.
"Trusting that you gentlemen, who are most interested and have the most
knowledge of these affairs, will give it your attention, so that proper ordinances
may be drafted and recommended covering these dangers, I remain,
"Very truly yours,
'THOS. B. W. LELAND,
' 'Coroner.' '
GORONBB 889
To the foregoing letter the San Francisco Labor Council replied as follows:
''San Francisco Labor Council, Secretary's Office, San Francisco Labor Temple,
316 Fourteenth Street, San Francisco, Cal.
"Dr. T. B. W. Leland, Coroner, City and County of San Francisco, 363 Fell
Street. City.
"Dear Sir: At the last regular meeting of the Council your communication
relative to the recommendations of the juries in the cases of deaths and acci-
dents in buildings was read, and the President and Secretary were instructed to
co-operate Avith any committee that might be appointed to obtain the necessary
legislation to remedy the existing danger.
"We thank you very much for your interest in this matter and assure you
it is very rare to find a public official as solicitous for the interests of the
workers.
"With warmest personal regards, I remain
"Very sincerely yours,
"ANDREW J. GALLAGHER,
"Secretary San Francisco Labor Council."
NEW BUILDING LAWS
The Building Committee of the Board of Supervisors, consisting of Super-
visors Sanderson, Broderick and Payot, has appointed the following Advisory
Committee :
P. H. Shaughnessy, Chief Engineer Fire Department.
William F. Wilson, Member Board of Health.
Francis H. Porter, Inspector, Fire Underwriters.
John P. Horgan, Chief Building Inspector.
J. D. Galloway.
Nathaniel Blaisdell, Architect.
Richard H. Mathewson, Kittle Construction Co.
Morris Bruce (secretary), Architect, Pissis & Co.
This said Advisory Committee to act with them in the recompiling and enact-
ing of the Building Laws of the City.
It is expected that they will shortly finish their labors, and that our new
Ordinances will become effective in the near future, and that the coming year
will see a great decrease in the number of accidents and deaths.
"Mr. Curtis H. Lindley, President' San Francisco Bar Association, 604 Mills
Building, City.
"Dear Sir: Enclosed please find Coroner's Verdict, with recommendation
in the case of Carolina Brasch, deceased.
"When considering the best means of getting a Bill before the next Legis-
lature covering the remedying of the evil of the notorious "Pay-Check" system,
which seems to be State wide, the Coroner, in questioning witnesses in this case,
asked as to the best means of bringing about legislation in the matter. In ques-
tioning Legislators and others in regard to a remedy, he met with the suggestion
from State Senator Burnett, that the matter be referred to the San Francisco
Bar Association as the body best fitted to draw up such a bill. This idea met
with the approval of the Coroner and Jury, and hence our recommendation in
the matter.
"It was our endeavor during the course of this investigation, to not only
bring out the evidence of the State wide existence of this evil, but to set in
motion a remedy for the evil. Our idea being that, after the first, agitation and
sun COEONER
publicity is over, that those matters sometimes drag, and the good of the pub-
licity passes away without immediate active steps being taken in the matter.
''In this case we believe that this evil should be met promptly, and that
results should come from it. Therefore, in referring the matter to your Honor-
able Association, I beg that, in your judgment, you may give the matter such
immediate attention that, when the next Legislature convenes, a Bill may be pre-
pared and plans laid for its passage and adoption.
''Respectfully submitted,
"THOS. B. W. LELAND,
'Coroner.'
Reply of Mr. Curtis H. Lindley to the above :
"Hon. Thos. B. W. Leland, 363 Fell Street, San Francisco, Cal.
"My Dear Dr. Leland: I have your favor of the 31st instant, together
with a copy of Coroner's verdict in the case of Carolina Brasch.
"It Avill afford me great pleasure to bring this matter before the Association,
and have it promptly referred to the proper section or committee for action.
"There is not the slightest doubt but what the Bar Association will take
the matter up and make some recommendation as to a remedy for the evil referred
to in the Coroner's Verdict.
"I will be pleased to advise you whenever definite action is taken.
"Yours very truly,
"CURTIS H. LINDLEY."

paid the experience salary of the latter position where the experience salary of
their positions as vice-principal would be lower.
Commercial and high school assistants holding only special certificates shall
be paid a salary of $1,500 per annum.
No person shall be appointed head of a high school department nor, after

so far as salaries are concerned, be considered.
A vice-principal, when acting in the capacity of principal, shall receive the
minimum salary scheduled for the principal whose place he or she is temporarily
filling.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS , 913
Since Sec. 1687 of the school law provides that ''Beginners shall be
taught by teachers who have had at least two years' experience or by normal
school graduates, ' ' normal school graduates who have successfully completed
their probationary term as teachers of first grade classes will be allowed two
years' experience as the equivalent of their normal school training.
Five ($5.00) dollars additional per month shall be paid to regular teachers
in primary and grammar schools holding special certificates in music and
teaching singing, provided, however, that such teachers shall be required to
teach, as far as practicable, every class in the school, in this subject.
The minimum salary for teachers of ungraded classes shall be $1,008 per
annum. This salary shall continue during their probationary period and until
their experience in ungraded classes plus their previous experience in grammar
classes of this department shall entitle them to an increase under the salary
schedule for 1st, 7th and 8th grades.
Yard Assistant. In primary schools having an average daily attendance
of 500 or over, the principal may name, for the approval of the Board, an as-
sistant to perform yard duty, who shall be paid therefor ten dollars per month,

WORK OF TRUANT OFFICERS.
The following statement concerning the work performed by the five truant
officers for the year ending June 30, 1909, was presented by Mr. T. J. Dugan,
officer in charge:
Number of complaints of truancy investigated and reported back to
principals 4,249
Number of children found on the street, cases investigated and reported
to principals 2,133
Number of children taken to the Parental school 19
Number of children found upon the street possessed of working certifi-

Commenting on the foregoing statement, I desire to say that the enforce-
ment of the Compulsory Education Law and the repression of truancy have been
promoted very much during the past year. This is due to the efficient work
of the attendance or truant officers. In the discharge of their duties they have
exercised diligence, courtesy and firmness, and their work merits commenda-
tion.

EDITORIAL.
THE UNGRADED CLASS.
The individual pupil is still an unsolved problem in all graded schools.
Teaching fitted to a majority of a class will not meet the needs of each individual.
Some pupils, able to do most of the work, are deficient or slow in a particular
subject. Others, more mature than their classmates, are able to work at a
more rapid pace than the grade to which their scholarship assigns them. Other
pupils, immature or naturally slower of comprehension, will make sure and
certain progress if they may take the work at a less rapid pace. Some of the
soundest minds work slowly. Pupils from other school systems often do not fit
into our course of study and grading. They need a little extra help in some
subjects. A teacher with forty-five or fifty pupils cannot give sufficient attention
to these individual needs.
Our ungraded class is the best method for combining individual with class
instruction. We have several of these classes in operation. They are differ-
ently organized according to the needs of the school. In some, pupils go in
groups of from six to a dozen for additional teaching in their weak subject.
Each grade teacher sends pupils needing this special instruction to the ungraded
room during a study period of her own class. The pupils who thus loses a
study period must make up the time by home study. If a pupil is weak in arith-
metic he gets the regular lesson from his own class teacher and another in
the ungraded room. He may be able to understand the operation of percentage
in his own grade work but is deficient in decimal or common fractions. Or a
fifth grade . pupil may be able to understand fractions but needs drill in the
number combinations. Such pupils go to the ungraded room for drill in back
work up< u which present grade work depends.
In other schools the teacher has a number of permanent pupils who are
either slow in all. their work and need time for each grade, or who, because of
maturity or ability, are able to do two terms in one or three terms in two, and
thus gain time in completing their grammar school course. In addition to these
permanent pupils the teacher has a limited number of groups who come from
the classi-oonis for special drill. In the ungraded class the pupils are given
either group instruction or individual instruction according to their needs. The
principal assigns pupils to this class in conference with the teachers and care-
fully directs the work. This is never a deportment class and bad conduct or
lack of application may at any time forfeit the privilege.
The ungraded class is found most effective in grammar schools, and in
primary schools which have a large number of foreign pupils. Several of our
rammar schools are still unprovided with ungraded classes.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 925
As soon as financial conditions permit every school of eight or more classes
should have an ungraded class, and the larger schools should have two such.
In schools of six or seven classes the principal should be teacher of the ungraded
room for a half day and should have the other half of the day for supervising
the building. First and second grades are divided into so many groups and the
work is so largely individual that the ungraded class is not needed.
Failure of promotion is one of the chief causes for pupils dropping out of
school. They are chagrined and discouraged at not going on with their class-
mates, the repeated work has little interest for them. A sufficient number of
ungraded rooms will go far toward solving the problem of the ''left-over."
Pupils may be promoted in the subjects in which they are strong, and work in
the ungraded room in the weak subjects. If weak in all subjects they are
transferred to the ungraded room. Under a well organized system these defects
should be remedied as soon as discovered, and discovered as soon as they exist.
A pupil who shows marked weakness in any study should enter the proper
group in the ungraded class ; the pupil who needs more than a term to complete
the work of a grade should join the permanent section of the ungraded class.
A larger amount of work for individual pupils should be done by all our
grade teachers. It would be wise if a half hour after school were used for
helping backward pupils.
SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS.
Teachers coming into our department are first assigned to the substitute
list. They are generally young teachers with little experience. They may be
sent to any grade for a single day, a week or a month. It takes the best teacher
considerable time to know a- class, and get them under good control, yet these
substitutes are expected to take any grade in any part of the city on a minute's
notice. The result is that a good teacher sometimes returns after a few days'
absence to find her class thoroughly demoralized. They have learned nothing,
and it takes time to reduce them again to law and order. The pupils had better
have been dismissed. Only the strongest teachers can do successful substitute
work.
I recommend that about twenty of our best teachers be selected for the
substitute list, and be employed at full pay; that each substitute be assigned
to a school where she shall report at 8:30 for clerical or ungraded work; that
the secretary call such teachers and assign them by phone when needed for
substituting. Thus each substitute is employed all of her time in clerical work,
ungraded work, or substituting. She is near a group of schools, any one of
which she may reach quickly on a call from the secretary. Teachers who show
marked ability in substitute work, teaching any and every grade, often under
unfavorable conditions, should be selected for primary principals, vice-principals,
or for ungraded classes at a salary higher than that paid to the grade teacher.
New teachers coming into the department should be assigned to regular classes,
taking into consideration training, experience, and natural endowments for
particular kinds of work.
CIVIL SERVICE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS FOR TEACHERS'
POSITIONS.
I believe that some change should be made in the civil service system of
competitive examinations for positions in our elementary schools. It is fully as
important to know a subject as to know how to teach it, in fact, knowledge
of the subject matter must be at the very foundation of all pedagogy. The
passing of a teachers' examination is not necessarily a test of scholarship. There
926 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
are all kinds of examinations given in the various counties of this state, and
the certificates so granted are good in every county. Girls complete the gram-
mar school subjects in their early teens, go to a high school where grammar
subjects are not reviewed, thence to a Normal school where they get methods on
subject matter imperfectly learned and long since forgotten. These people come
into our schools to teach. In the preparation of teachers there should be a
thorough review and enlargement of elementary subjects. A knowledge of
geography, history, grammar, arithmetic and literature possessed by a girl gradu-
ating from the eighth grade is not sufficient for a teacher of the eighth grade.
How inadequate is it then, after six years of fading away. We give the best
pay in the state and a life tenure and should have the best teachers. I believe,
therefore, that the examinations should include both professional and academic
subjects. It is the function of good supervision and administration to improve
the teaching power of those already in the department and to raise the standard
for those entering it.
I therefore recommend that the system of civil service competitive examin-
ation be modified so as to include questions in grammar and arithmetic and
that the system hereafter apply to candidates for positions in both the day and
evening elementary service of this department.
I further recommend that candidates falling below 70% in either grammar
or arithmetic, or an average of 80% in the two subjects be debarred from
appointment to the San Francisco school department.
In the rules governing these examinations I recommend that the following
be included:
(1) The answer to each question must be written on a separate sheet
of paper and will be identified by a mark and not by the name of the candidate.
(2) The papers will be submitted to principals of the schools to be read
and marked.
(3)Each paper will be marked by two readers, and the average of the
marks which the different readers report will be the candidate's mark in gram-
mar and arithmetic.
I further recommend that the following values be given to the examinations:
The examinations in grammar and arithmetic together, will be valued at
one-third.
The written examination in Methods of Teaching will be valued at one-third.
The oral examination will be valued at one-third.
IMPROVING THE TEACHING FORCE.
MY improve our schools by improving the teaching force. Educational
thought is advancing and teachers should keep abreast of it. New subjects are
coining into our course of study, old ones are being taught with different aims
and different methods. There is a large amount of educational literature dealing
in a praciiciil. helpful way with educational material, aims and methods. Each
school should be supplied with a small, well selected, pedagogical library to
which teachers themselves should make additions. Each principal should hold
two meetings a month with his teachers to discuss educational subjects. Super-
intendent's office will supply topics and references. The superintendent will
conduct monthly meetings with the principals to discuss ways and means to im-
prcve the work of the department. To make work a success is to make it lighter,
t'or success removes friction. Successful work holds the interest of pupils and
eliminates questions of discipline. Successful work holds pupils in school. Our
teaching must be less difficult, more interesting, and more profitable. Time spent
in preparation is ti:ne saved in performance.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 927
RAISING THE STANDARD.
During the year just passed the Superintendent's office has endeavored to
raise the standard of work in our schools. Visits have been made to the
schools by the Superintendent and his deputies. Circulars of instruction have
been issued and principals' and teachers' meetings have been held. In visiting
schools the aim has been to discover the weak points and to aid principals and
teachers in correcting them. With the amount of office work which devolves
upon us, it has been impossible to give all the help needed. The supervisor of
primary reading, confining herself to the first and second grades, has accom-
plished wonderful results. We should have two more supervisors of special sub-
jects, one for primary number work, and one for advanced arithmetic. It is
considered necessary for one man to spend his entire time supervising only eight
manual training teachers. Drawing, which occupies one hour a week, has three
supervisors. Music, which has one hour a week, has two supervisors. The
other twenty-three hours of school work are left to the supervision of five people.
The force is inadequate.
We have found very different standards prevailing in the schools of our
system. Pupils transferred from one school to another would not always fit into
the grade to which they were transferred. Schools do the work in different
ways, or are satisfied with different degrees of proficiency.
In order to unify standards the Superintendent has sent out to the schools
examination questions in language and arithmetic. While the results were dis-
appointing in many schools, the spirit in which these tests were received is very
gratifying. Teachers are pleased to learn where their work is weak and to get
help in improving it. Our office will send out tests in other subjects during the
coming year. The object of these is not the comparison of teacher with teacher
or school with school, but to furnish measuring rods by which a uniform standard
of excellence may be attained. Each school should be as good as every other
school. Children of one locality should have equal advantages with children of
•every other locality.
SUPPLEMENTARY BOOKS.
Before the earthquake our schools were very poorly furnished with supple-
mentary books. One third of our schools with their equipment were destroyed
by the fire. Since the fire the entire expenditure from our school fund for
supplementary books would not adequately supply one large school.
With our new method of primary reading children require twice as much
reading matter as four years ago, yet they have not half the quantity. WTe aim
now by the end of the fourth year to make the child master of the printed page.
He is no longer to be hampered in the grammar grades by difficulties of printed
language. He must get the thought as readily from the book as from the
teacher's voice. His geography, history, arithmetic, and literature will no longer
"be cumbered with his inability to read. To accomplish these results, however,
we must have a liberal supply of supplementary readers. We need reference
books for the grammar grades and supplementary books in history and geography.
It will be difficult with a smaller appropriation this year to give our schools
all of the books needed, but I would strongly urge that every dollar available be"
turned into supplementary books.
DEPARTMENTAL TEACHING.
Under the usual school management, pupils spend a year in each grade
under a single teacher from whom they get all their instruction, moral training,
and character building. This teacher stands to them in loco parentis, and if
the teacher is of the right kind, the relation is warm and sympathetic. Com-
i'l's SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
pleting the eighth grade they go to the high school, where they are daily brought
in contact with four to six department teachers who are apt to be more inter-
ested in subjects taught than in pupils receiving instruction. The warm and
sympathetic relation is gone. The pupil is now but one of several hundred.
To this sudden change of control may be attributed much of the dropping out
during the first year of high school. Last year we enrolled in the first year
tif our high schools 1,644, and but 874 in the second year.
The chasm between the grammar and the high school must be bridged from
both sides. High school teachers must know better what pupils have done in the
grammar school, and build upon it. They must show more clearly to their pupils
the relation of subjects taught to the pupils' life, physical, industrial, intellectual
and moral. They must simplify their teaching. They must bring into the high
school more of the home spirit and personal interest in the individual pupil.
They must remember that the entering class do not come to them ready-made
high school students, but grammar grade pupils to be transformed into high school
students.
The grammar school must prepare for the change. Pupils must be made
more self-reliant, more capable of self-control, given greater power of independent
study. Departmental work in the seventh and eighth grades will accustom them
to instruction from more than one teacher.
Departmental teaching has been tried in many cities and has met with
serious objections. Too many teachers have worked together, and so high school
conditions and atmosphere have been thrust down upon elementary pupils, per-
sonal control of the teacher has been lost, and so discipline has weakened. Sub-
jects, it is true., have been better taught by special teachers, -but the moral
influence has been weakened. In two of our schools during the past year we
have tried a modified form of departmental teaching, and the results are to be
highly recommended. Four classes, low seventh and high seventh, low eighth
and high eighth, form a group for departmental work. Each class has its
''class teacher," who has charge of attendance, deportment, home relations, and
general welfare. With this teacher the class spends from one-third to one-half
of the day. She remains their class teacher through the two years, getting and
retaining a moral hold upon the individual pupil. Each of the four teachers
of this group teaches one subject to each of the four classes. In this subject
she is, or soon becomes an expert. She teaches the same subject to these pupils
through the entire two years, giving continuity to the work. Thus the grammar
in the seventh and eighth grades is taught by a single teacher, and if the work
is found weak the responsibility cannot be shifted. Besides the main subjects
which are taught departmentally, each teacher instructs her own class in a group
of minor subjects. The class remaining with her for two years, the instruction
in the minor subjects is continuous, and blame for poor work or credit for
good work is easily placed. The principal holds frequent conference with these
teachers and so correlates the work. Under the single teacher system, each
teacher is inclined to over-emphasize the subjects which she likes best to the
negiect of others. Under the departmental plan each study gets its proper quota
of time, and each class gets the teachers in the best work. Pupils who have
studied under our modified departmental system are ready for the transition to
high school.
of departmental work rests very largely with the principal. I
advise that the plan be extended to several more of our large grammar schools.
\\"e have principals in the department who are able to direct this work, and
carry it through to success.
SUPEBINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 929
DIFFERENTIATED GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.
Modern life, intellectual, social and industrial, is so complex and makes so
many demands upon the elementary school that it is impossible for any one school
fully to satisfy them all. Some parents want modern languages taught in the
elementary school, others prefer the ancient languages, a third class demand a
more thorough knowledge of the mother tongue; some wish more stress laid
upon music and art, others would give more manual training and domestic-
science, or more attention to commercial subjects. All these claims are sup-
ported by good arguments, yet no one school can meet all the demands made
upon it.
I believe it is possible to make a minimum course of study including the
materials in all the common branches, and preparing for the high school. With
this minimum course as a basis, differentiation may be made, one group of schools
adding modern languages (as is now done in our cosmopolitan schools) another
beginning ancient languages, another giving more music, drawing and painting,
another giving commercial ranches, and another manual training and domestic
science. These schools should be so located that they are easy of access from
different parts of the city and parents may choose the school which most nearly
conforms to their ideas of education.
As a beginning in this differentiation, I would recommend that the Horace
Mann school be designated as the technical grammar school, that sewing, cook-
ing, mechanical drawing and manual training be given greater prominence in
this school. To make place for these subjects the present course of study should
be somewhat modified in history, arithmetic, geography, spelling and drawing.
This school now has departmental work in the seventh and eighth grades, work-
ing in three groups of four teachers each. The modified work may be intro-
duced into one or more of these groups, depending upon the demands made for it.
A lot containing a large building has been purchased to enlarge the grounds of
the Horace Mann school. This building may be sold for enough money to erect
the workshops on this piece of ground, or the building may be modified as it
now stands so as to supply workshops.
If this experiment is tried with the Horace Mann School during the com-
ing year it will indicate in a measure the nature of the piiblic demand made
\ipon the schools, and show us in what direction improvements should be made.
MEDICAL INSPECTION.
Excellent work has been done by the Board of Health in giving our schools
through its physicians and trained nurses an improved medical inspection.
Vaccination has been in forced and the spread of contagious disease among pupils
has been greatly checked. The nurses have visited the schools, sending home
for treatment the most obvious cases of disease, and reserving for the attention
of the physician all doubtful cases. Cases of sores and skin eruptions have been
treated by the nurses at the schools. The force has been too small to accom-
plish the work in the most effective manner. Medical inspection ought to be
under the Board of Education, but it has been undertaken by the Board of
Health, who are anxious to co-operate with the school authorities. We should
do everything possible to further their good work. There has been one specialist
in eye, ear. nose and throat, who has given half his time to the schools, and
has accomplished excellent results. It has been impossible, however, for him
to accomplish one-tenth part of the work needed. The record of eyes fitted to
glasses and of adenoids removed at the Parental School shows the great work
to be done in removing physical hindrance to education. The work of medical

inspection in Los Angeles shows what may be accomplished in schools in the
way of improving general health, and removing those difficulties which deader
the senses, dull the brain, and dwarf the mind.
Following is the report of the Medical Inspector of Schools:
San Francisco, Cal., August 2, 1909.
Mr. Alfred Roncovieri, Superintendent of Schools.
Sir: I have the honor to enclose herewith the annual report of the Depart-
ment of Medical Inspection of the public schools of San Francisco and we
appreciate your co-operation in this work.
There is one thing that demands attention and I see that you have likewise
considered it; namely, that a child should be of a certain age in order to enter
the public schools. The only way to eliminate underaged children from school
is to demand a birth certificate. This can be had in the majority of cases.
Hoping that this will meet with your consideration, I am,
Respectfully,
C. R. BRICCA,
Medical Inspector of Schools.

San Francisco, Cal., July 22, 1909.
To the Honorable, the Board of Health,
Through R. Or. Broderick, Health Officer.
Gentlemen : I have the honor to submit herewith the annual report of
the Department of Medical Inspection of Schools. This Department is con-
cerned with nineteen of our primary and grammar public schools situated in
the congested districts and enrolling 10,300 pupils.
The amount of work performed and the results obtained have been excel-
lent, taking in consideration that these schools are by no means close together
and that unfortunately we have had several nurse reappointments which nat-
urally handicapped our work and results.
The Board of Education has at all times co-operated with this Depart-
ment, and by so doing has been a great help. Without this co-operation, school
medical inspection would be useless. The efficient and praiseworthy work of
the nurses could not be passed over in silence, especially the work of those
nurses who have worked since the beginning of school medical inspection.
Medical inspection of schools without the school nurse would be a farce.
The combination of medical school inspection, examination and treatment, and
school nurse co-operation is undoubtedly one of the greatest advancements that
modern times has invented for 'the physical improvement of school children. We
need good permanent nurses, as the frequent changing is detrimental, as we
lose the co-operation of the willing principals and teachers.
93:2 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
The number of children excluded from school on account of infectious dis-
eases is 859 or 8.34% of the enrollment. These cases were found either in the
schools or in the homes, for the most in the latter. Every unaccounted for
absentee of two or more days is visited at the home by the nurse and in this
way a great number of infectious cases were found. This number does not
include the number of contracts, as unfortunately this record was not kept
until here of late. These cases and their contracts were not and most probably
would not have been reported to the Board of Health. This certainly is a
positive menace to community health. It is evident that the exclusion of these
cases and contracts meant an increased school attendance. Trachoma has
practically disappeared, as not one case has been found in months, while the
original twenty cases have been found.
Of the 2,660 unvaccinated children, only 85 have not been re-vaccinated.
Of the 2,575 re-vaccinations, 15 immune certificates were issued and the remain-
ing 2,560 have been successful, with but few exceptions. The reason why
vaccination is unsuccessful lies in the fact that the virus is not active, having
been kept at an unsuitable temperature either in the drug store or in the prac-
titioner's office. Mulford's vaccine virus has given most satisfactory results.
Number of children vaccinated in the school with the consent of the parents
by the School Medical Inspector, over 900.
The nurses have treated 2,441 cases in the schools. The number of times
each case was treated has not been reported, but is at present, consequently
does not appear in this report. These cases were simple contagious skin condi-
tions, abrasions, and do not include the vaccinations, which vaccinations were
performed by the Medical Inspector.
One hundred and eighty-two or 26.3% of the cases of hypertrophied tonsils
and adenoids found have been operated upon by the family surgeon, while 162
others were medically treated. Of 383 cases of defective vision, 80 or 20.9%
have received ocular attention. In all 2,843 or 27.04% of the total enrollment
have been treated.
Twenty-seven cases have been reported to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children and to the Associated Charities.
One thousand six hundred and fifty school visits or 165 monthly visits have
been made.
Two thousand four hundred and seventy-eight home visits or 225 monthly
visits have been made.
Total 390 monthly visits have been made.
The record of the physical examinations is by no means complete, but most
superficial, as our time was for the most part taken up with infectious diseases,
vaccinations, vermin, contagious skin diseases and only the most evident cases
of physical defects came under our observation. Two months before the close
of the school term, the Medical Inspector began a systematic physical examination
of the school children, taking a class at a time. Ninety-nine pupils were thus
examined and 38.39% had defective vision, 50% enlarged tonsils and adenoids,
30%; enlaiT'-d cervical glands, over 50% defective teeth. This proves con-
clusively the Absolute necessity of physical examination.
Respectfully,
C. R. BRICCA.

ASSEMBLY HALLS IX PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND FREE PUBLIC
LECTURES.
Upon the subject of Assembly Halls and free public lectures, I desire to
repeat what I said in my report for last year (page 223) in order to emphasize
the very great importance of this matter. I also repeat the recommendation that
I made at that time and respectfully ask the Board of Education to take action
upon the matter at once.
''I regret that so few of our school houses have assembly rooms.
The building of auditoriums, as a feature of school equipment, will be
appreciated by the general public and particularly by the school patrons.
They will afford a common place of meeting with small expense for all
the people where there can be no bickerings, political or sectarian. The
h line life and the school life can be brought together in harmonious
unity and much permanent good will result.
-%I would, therefore, recommend that every school building planned
nnder the new Bond Issue be provided with an assembly hall to be built
on the ground floor or first floor, where in addition to its use for gen-
eral exercises, music and gymnastics for the pupils of the school, it
can be used for social center development. In such a room the princi-
pal can address a large number of pupils in a more impressive way
than in separate class rooms. Such a room can be used for stereopticon
exhibitions, for graduating exercises or as already indicated as a social
center for citizens and parents of the district. The school houses
belong to the people and under proper restrictions should be used for
the diffusion of information and the promotion of a civic spirit among
the adult population.
'I respectfully recommend that free public lectures on American
history, physics, mechanics, economics, etc., for the student and adult
population be given in the auditorium of the Mission High School,
the Crocker, Girls' High, Polytechnic, Lowell. Hearst and the Horace
Mann, and wherever possible in smaller buildings.
''These lectures, combined with musical numbers, will be educa-
tional and elevating and will be appreciated by the general public and
by the school patrons.''
Our evening- schools are in session five evenings a week. The same build-
ings should be used for public lectures on educational subjects. There are
many public .spirited citizens who would give such lectures without charge. We
should have lectures on all subjects pertaining to civic welfare. We should not
wait till bubonic plague comes again before teaching people to be clean. Cleanli-
ness in kitchens, back yards, alleys, streets, public and private morals, public
and private decency, should be taught to both young and old. Such civic pride
should be created that ugly billboards will disappear from our streets and that
all entertainments of doubtful character will be prohibited.
Lectures should be given on public and private health, such as the preven-
tion of tuberculosis. Physicians should give lectures on the physical care and
'training of children, and upon the dangers besetting adolesence.
931 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
COOKING AND MANUAL TRAINING.
Our cooking and manual training centers are open five days in the week
for pupils attending the day schools. But no such opportunities are given the
pupils of the evening schools. These centers should be open five evenings of the
week and a large part of the work should be in advance of that done in the
day school. Part of it should be done by lectures and part by laboratory work.
A large number of young women are earning a living in domestic work who
know nothing of the science underlying this work and very little of the best
methods for doing it. The cooking centers should be crowded with young
women eager to increase their earning capacity by increasing their knowledge
and skill.
In the drawing department of the Humboldt Evening, hundreds of young
men are making the work of their hands more profitable by training their
heads. When a young man can read a drawing his work is more profitable
to his employer. When he can make a drawing he is ready for promotion, and
when he possesses the science of mathematics, he is ready for further advance-
ment. The manual training centers should be open to a younger class of stu-
dentts than those attending the Humboldt Evening. They should be taught
mechanical and architectural drawing, strength and quality of materials and
should be given skill in the handling of wood-working tools.
Finances will not permit the opening of all of these centers the coming
year, but we should open one or two centers this year and make plans for further
development work the year following.
PARENTAL SCHOOL.
Our parental school is in reality only a day truant school. Most of its
pupils are sent to it by the juvenile court and under the surveillance of probation
officers from this court. It is situated next to the court and detention home,
and boys detained at the detention home awaiting the decision of the court are
sent to this school.
As soon as the boys show sufficient promise of reform they are sent back
to a public school, but kept still in charge of a probation officer. The court
and the school are doing excellent work for wayward boys, but owing to limita-
tions are unable to do all that is necessary.
We should have a real parental school — a boarding parental situated on a
ten acre tract of land. Here pupils may be kept day and night from bad
home and street influences. Our present school has charge of them five hours
of the day, but many boys and some girls need guidance and protection durintr
twenty-four hours of the day. The school should have shops for teaching trades
and plenty of ground for teaching practical agriculture. Many a IM>V. nuw a
menace to public welfare, would leave such a school with an education and a
trade, a self-supporting and self-respecting citizen.
The need of such a school should be kept in mind the coming year and
every effort made to secure an appropriation for the ground and buildings.
In a previous report I pointed out serious objections to the present local ion
of the parental school. Being alongside of the detention home and juvenile
court the boys in this school are kept more or less in an environment which
is to them suggestive of evil rather than of good. They should be in a place
where they would be reminded of the right instead of the wrong.
The practical work in manual training introduced into the school during
the past year has had a beneficent effect upon the pupils, and 1 recommend a
still further extension of it.
I
sri'KRIXTEXDEXT OF SCHOOLS 935
I hope that as soon as possible proper facilities for washing and bathing
will be provided for the schools; also that the present toilets will be replaced
by mode: n ones. The present accommodations do not suggest either cleanliness
or refinement. If anything is to be done for the social and physical welfare
of the sHion! these things must be given immediate attention.
HYGIENIC CLEANING.
In the future construction of our schools, I respectfully recommend that
some suction system of cleaning be provided for in each school. We have
adopted modern methods of heating and ventilating our schoolhouses at very
great expense, and we find that these pay, but in the matter of cleaning, which
is at least equally important, we employ the most antiquated and inefficient
method known. The dust which is carried into the rooms by the children is
laden with germs of the most dangerous diseases. The janitors are expected to
sweep out and thoroughly clean each room every day. But only the coarser
particles of dust or sand can be removed by the broom and duster; the finer
particles which work themselves into the cracks in the floor, or into the wood-
work on the walls, cannot be removed in this way. And this is what contains
the greatest proportion of the deadly germs. Even when this fine dust is reached
by the broom it is but stirred up and floats in the air, settling again in the
room. Any movement by the children stirs this up in a greater or less degree,
and the children inhale the germs of disease. Consumption is only one of the
many diseases known to be transmitted in this way.
Where the janitors are forced to begin the sweeping of halls or stairways
before the children have departed for their homes, the danger is very great,
for millions of these germs are sent floating in the air which is breathed by the
children as they pass out of the building.
With the use of dampened, sawdust a very great amount of this disease-laden
dust escapes the janitors and in scrubbing, a great deal of it will remain in
the cracks and on the floor, to dry up and be stirred into the air by the children
upon their first return to school.
Already the owners of large public office buildings are beginning to give
up the antiquated method of broom and duster cleaning. Business men of mature
years realize the danger they are subjected to through having dust stirred up
in their offices. How much more important is it to safe-guard our school
children, whose lungs are tender and most susceptible to the attacks of disease
germs.
The number of obstacles fastened to the school room floor make it the most
difficult of all floors to sweep. It is practically impossible to remove by our
present method of cleaning the dust that accumulates in and around the feet
and leirs of the desks. But this can be removed with perfect ease by a vacuum
system of cleaning. I therefore recommend that provision be made for the
installation of such a system in all of the buildings to be constructed hereafter,
and also that it be installed in the permanent buildings already constructed.
SANITARY DRINKING FOUNTAINS.
The danger of disease spreading through the indiscriminate use of ordi-
nary drinking cups is well known. Examinations made of cups used in this
manner at public fountains and in railroad trains show that they harbor mil-
lions of disease germs which have come from the lips of those who have used
the cups. A clean, healthy child drinking from these cups is exposed to some
936 SUPEBINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
of the most contagious diseases, and he may contract it in this way. The
conditions prevail in our schools where the children use a common drinking
cup. Much of the sickness in our schools is undoubtedly due to this, and now
that a thoroughly sanitary drinking device is available the old method should
no longer be considered excusable. There are on the market sanitary drinking
fountains by which the pupils can drink freely by simply placing the mouth over
a jet of water, while at the same time it is impossible for the lips, tongue or
face to come in contact with any substance other than the running water.
It is certain that disease will not be transmitted from one child to another by
this method of drinking. We cannot afford to risk the health of our school
children and expose them to epidemics any longer by the use of a common drink-
ing cup. I, therefore, recommend that sanitary drinking fountains be installed
at once in every school in the department and that they be provided in all
of the buildings now under construction.
FIRE ESCAPES AND PROVISIONS FOR INSURING SAFETY OF CHILDREN
AGAINST THE DANGER OF FIRE.
In a communication to the Board of Education, on April 3. 1908, I called
attention to the necessity of providing efficient protection against fire for the
school children of our city, as follows:
"The recent holocaust at Collingwood, Ohio, wherein one hundred
and sixty-seven school children perished, demonstrated emphatically the
necessity of providing all possible means to insure the safety of our
children against the dangers of fire in school buildings.
"I respectfully recommend that the Board of Supervisors be re-
quested to provide in the next budget the necessary funds.
"First — For an auxiliary fire alarm system connecting every school
with the central station.
"Second — For a large fire gong to be placed in each school.
' 'Third — For at least two fire extinguishers to be placed on each
floor of every school.
."Fourth — For the purpose of widening all stair-cases sufficiently
to permit frnir children to walk abreast of one another.
"Section 1890 of the Political Code of the State of California
reads, 'Each school building in the State shall, if two or more stories
in height, be provided with suitable and sufficient fire escapes. The
trustees of each school district and the Board of Education of each
municipal corporation must provide sufficient and suitable fire esca
for each school- building two or more stories in height under their
jurisdiction.'
"For years this office and the Board of Education have reminded
the Board of Supervisors of this law and have applied earnestly to
them to make it necessary to carry it into effect, but up to the present
time only two schools have been equipped with fire escapes as the law
requires. I recommend that this Board again request most emphatically
the Board of Supervisors to appropriate specifically for the purchase
and placement of necessary fire escapes on all buildings two .or more
stories in height to conform with Section 1890 of the Political Code
of the State of California."
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 937
Notwithstanding my recommendations, eight of our new school buildings
are without fire escapes. Neither is there any adequate protection against tirv
for the children in these buildings. This is in violation of the State law, above
referred to, and also in violation of the city ordinance which provides for proper
protection to school children, as follows:
"For the proper and necessary protection of life and property,
buildings that are already erected and built in this city or county
shall be provided and equipped with fire escapes or facilities for escape
in case of fire, and every school building of two stories in height, shall
be provided and equipped with metallic fire escapes, combined with
suitable metallic balconies, platforms and railings firmly secured to
the outer walls, and erected and arranged in such a way and in such
proximity to one or more windows, or to as many windows of each
story above the first as may be necessary to make and render said fire
escapes readily accessible, safe and adequate for the escape of inmates
in case of fire."
In the presence of such a disaster as that at Collingwood, we become much
exercised about the safety of human life, especially of our children. But such a
lesson is often too soon forgotten. In order that San Francisco may never be
in danger of giving to the world such an awful lesson, by the sacrifice of human
life, the proper steps should now be taken to prevent it. Not only that, but it
is a clear violation of the law, both state and city, for San Francisco to use for
school purposes, any building of two or more stories in height, before such
building is equipped with "sufficient and suitable fire escapes."
I respectfully, but most urgently request the Board of Education to call the
attention of the Board of Supervisors to the above conditions in our Depart-
ment, and urge that the necessary steps be taken to provide for all of our
schools the necessary protection against fire, as required by law.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
Our Course of Study has not been changed during the past year. It was
revised two years ago. Our best schools find the Course of Study well adapted
to their needs. It is not too difficult; it is not too long. Schools which have
most nearly followed its directions and suggestions have done the best work.
Complaints against the Course of Study usually come from those who have
paid too little attention to the work as outlined in it. Our schools should be
unified by enforcing this Course of Study thoroughly. We have in our city as
good primary and grammar schools as can be found in any portion of the state.
Some of them, however, are falling below our high standard. It will be our
effort next year to improve the work in the weaker schools and bring it, if
possible, to a par with the best.
READING.
Primary reading is probably among the best work being done in the San
Francisco schools. This is due to our system of supervision of the reading of
the first and second grades. This shows what can be accomplished by expert
supervision confined to a limited portion of work. We need more supervisors,
so that more of this work may be done. The Superintendent and his deputies
should take a broad view of the school system, co-ordinating part with part,
directing the work of special supervisors, testing the work by examination
questions, and seeing as much of the detail of schoolroom work as time will
permit. Most of our grammar schools are doing superior work in oral reading.
938 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
This is due to the fact that my office has spent a great deal of time during:
the past three years working directly with the teachers and classes in this sub-
ject. As a resvilt of this work, pupils are hetter able to interpret their literature
and to read and understand arithmetic, history, geography, etc.
Literature is being read in all our grades above the fourth, and pupils are
acquiring a taste for the best reading.
LANGUAGE.
The suggestions on Composition contained in our Course of Study are being
followed by a large number of our schools with excellent results. The success
of this work demonstrates beyond doubt the value of these suggestions, and we
shall recommend that all schools follow hereafter the plan of work outlined
in our Course of Study. In some schools Composition is taught too largely
from the state text book. In such cases the results are poor. We shall recom-
mend that next year composition books be kept in all grades above the fourth,
and that a regular amount of work be placed in these books each month. The
books shall be kept where they can be readily examined by the Board of Educa-
tion or members of the Superintendent's staff. The results in formal language
have been disappointing. Some schools have given excellent results in conse-
quence of following closely the Course of Study. We shall endeavor to improve
the work in this subject next year by means of teachers' meetings, circulars of
information and test questions.
ARITHMETIC.
A few schools are disposed to complain of the difficulty of the work in
arithmetic. Many good principals, however, have demonstrated in their schools
that tho work can be accomplished by the children; that it is satisfactorily and
logically laid out and that it follows step by step. Difficulties have arisen
where the work has not been thoroughly done and where the steps have not
been followed in sequence. Here we ought to have the help of a special super-
visor. The schools generally have done excellent problem work.
HISTORY.
History as taught from biographies and stories in the lower grades has
been very successful. The Introductory History in the fifth grade has proved
a very interesting study. The Grammar School History is a difficult, book for
the children, being better suited to high school pupils.
We need a large supply of supplementary books in history.
NATURE STUDY.
The home and school garden have been the form of nature study most used
in our schools. We have distributed to schools flower and vegetable seed--
received from the State University and from our representatives in Conicn^-.
This work has received special direction and encouragement from the Superin-
tendent's office. In some schools 75% of the children have home gardens cul-
tivated by themselves. Products of their labors have been brought to the schools.
Gardening has been made the subject for composition work. Most of our
schools have very little ground for school gardening, but in such cases Imxes
and pots of earth have been utilized. Properly used the school garden is hut
a demonstration where pupils learn how to plant and care for their home gardens.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 939
Parents have greatly appreciated the interest taken in gardening and the work
should receive strong support from the Board of Education. Other forms of
nature study have been employed and made the basis of drawing and compo-
sition.
GEOGRAPHY.
One of the best forms of nature study has been the out-of-door geography
which most schools have taught in excellent shape. Children study out of doors
various land forms and observe the forces of nature actually at work shaping the
surface of the earth. What they see after a rain is stream formation, trans-
portation, deposit of soil, formation of ponds, deltas, river systems, gives them
a means of interpreting the larger georgraphical features which they get only
from the map or the printed page. This offers the very best of nature study
and gives a firm foundation for geographic conceptions. The common vegetables
a"d grains raised in the school or home garden give actual content to what
•would otherwise be empty words.
We have distributed during the year a large number of outline maps in
the schools. Product maps have been of very great service. They have in fact
been so useful that many schools have gone far beyond the requirement in
making them. We regret to say, however, that the Superintendent's office looks
in vain for product maps in some schools. It is for principals to see that the
course of study is understood and carried out.
Another very important feature of geography is the excursion to factories,
wholesale houses, shipping centers, etc. Before the fire this work was very
satisfactorily carried on in the schools. It has been neglected during the past
three years and should be revised. Principals and teachers should take classes
during school hours to places where geography can be obtained at first hand.
One bit of concreteness will be a center about which will crystalize a large
amount of reading matter. Our parks contain a great deal of geography which
is not being used. A few schools have done very valuable work at the Golden
Gate Park.
We congratulate the schools on the progress of the present year and look
forward to greater gains during the coming year.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
We have five high schools all in good standing and the four doing univer-
sity preparatory work well accredited. These schools have received careful
attention from the Superintendent's office this year.
Foreign languages are well taught. We would suggest, however, that the
modern languages receive more attention as to conversation; that after the
first term in any modern language all conversation should be in that langua-ge.
In Latin we suggest that much more attention be given to the use of Latin
as the source of a large part of our English; that in the first year particularly
English words be derived from the Latin words thus adding interest to the
Tvork and making pupils see that it has a real value.
We would further suggest that more attention be given to choice English
in translation from Latin and other languages. Good Latin should be trans-
lated into equally good English. Where slovenly translation is permitted, not
only is the value of Latin lost, but much of the work in English composition
undone.
940 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
HISTORY.
History in our schools is rather better taught than in most high schools.
The element of evolution should enter more largely into its teaching. Teaching
of history should be the history of civilization, showing how each new institu-
tion is evolved from the old and in turn prepares for the next. Stress should
be laid on great movements in history. The work should certainly be in the
teacher and not in the text-book. The teacher should constantly give birds-eye
views over long periods of history showing the relation of great events to each
other. Events should be taught in relation to our own life and times. Events.
near at hand should be used to illustrate events and motives far remote. The
development of great ideals should receive special attention. Moral standards
have changed as much as material conditions. Children should be placed back
into times long past, showing what ideals men then possessed, how new ideals
were born, struggled for the mastery, conquered and became universal. Young
people are so accustomed to the moral standards of today that they fail to
realize the changes wrought by history.
SCIENCE.
We have good courses of science in all our high schools. Physics and
chemistry should be less theoretical and more interpretive of nature and the
mechanical arts as seen in the daily walks of life. Chemistry should be more
organic and should bear upon physiology, hygiene and sanitation. Biology
should be brought into relation with human life and health. Physical geography
properly taught should be a laboratory subject. Each school should have a
well equipped laboratory for this subject, and each teacher an abundance of time
for field work with the classes; for the field is after all the best laboratory.
Our laboratories are very poorly equipped and large classes make but a limited
amount of field work possible. The girls' high school gives geology and astron-
omy in place of physical geography.
MATHEMATICS.
The university recognizes our high schools as strong in mathematics. The
pupils entering from the grammar schools, however, find the work dry and
uninteresting. It is recommended that the first work in Algebra be on the
simple algebraic equations transposing, clearing fractions and solving such
problems as have already been encountered in arithmetic. This gives the
pupil an idea of the actual value of Algebra. He finds a new tool for solving
knotty problems. Geometry should be made more concrete, more practical
every-day problems given and models used wherever possible. A peck of large
potatoes and a sharp knife will supply the best material for solid geometry.
When the outside has dried over night, lines may be drawn on these potato
models. Many a pupil is thus helped to see geometry.
POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL.
The bond election held on June 22d of this year resulted in a victory i'or
the Polytechnic High school. By a vote of 17,893 for and .V-l~> against, the
issuance of bonds of the value of $600,000 was authorized by the electors of
San Francisco for the purpose of building and equipping this school. Industrial
education has thus received the approval of our people and it is earnestly
hoped that the necessary steps will be taken at once to have the work of con
struction upon the new building begun at the earliest possible time.
SUPERINTENDENT O-b1 SCHOO.LI3 941
The pupils now in the Polytechnic High school are suffering on account
of the poor equipment in the school, and I can see no reason why a part of
the permanent equipment for the new building should not be purchased so that
these pupils may have the use of it during the next school year. Many of theni
will have finished their work in the school before the new building is completed.
These young men and women made strong personal pleas to the electors in
behalf of the bond issue for the Polytechnic High school and the people re-
sponded generously to them. For these reasons I respectfully recommend that
the Board of Supervisors be requested to sell bonds to the amount of $15,000
as soon as possible so that funds may be immediately available for the purpose
of providing permanent equipment in machinery and other apparatus urgently
needed at the present time by the pupils now attending the Polytechnical High
school.
This apparatus and equipment that I recommend can be transferred to the
new building. It would be wrong to our present student body to delay the
purchase of this apparatus until the new building is completed, for, as I have
said, most of them will have completed their school work before that time.
In the canvass in behalf of the Polytechnic High school bonds the voters
of San Francisco expressed themselves unmistakably in favor of scientific and
technical education in evening continuation classes for apprentices and me-
chanics who are employed during the day. time. And inasmuch as a costly
plant, such as the Polytechnic High school will be, should be made use of for
the benefit of the largest possible number of all classes of our people, and
during as many hours of the day as it can be profitably used, I recommend
that the City Architect be instructed to make provision for the necessary class
rooms in the plans for the Polytechnic High school building so that evening
continuation classes may be established wherein the apprentices and journey-
men of our city may learn the theories and sciences underlying their various
arts and crafts.
In 1904 additional bonds to the amount of $350,000 were issued for the
Polytechnic High school, but as these are to bear interest at the rate of only
3l/z% per annum, and as there has been a great local demand for money at ;i
higher rate of interest, these bonds have not yet been sold. A suggestion has
been made that these be cancelled. I respectfully recommend that this be not
done for the following reasons :
First — The Polytechnic High school will eventually require this money
to provide additional equipment, etc., for the needs of the large number of
pupils in day and evening classes. In European cities smaller than San Fran-
cisco such schools have an attendance of 5,000, and the San Francisco Poly-
technic High school will undoubtedly have such an attendance if the needs
of all classes in our community are met.
Second — It is not an easy or simple matter to have bonds voted at any
time, and those which have been already voted should not be cancelled with-
out good reasons.
Third — The money market will not always be so tight as at present, and
undoubtedly in the future investors will be found who are willing to purchase
these bonds bearing only 3J/£%.
Fourth — It costs the city nothing to save these bonds awaiting the de-
velopment of the need of their sale to meet the requirements of the school.
COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTION.
During the past year instruction in commercial subjects has been given
in two day schools (the Mission High and the Commercial) and in four evening
schools (Commercial evening, Hamilton evening, Richmond evening, and
Washington evening).
942 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
In the Mission High school the work is correlated with the regular high
school subjects, and is accredited towards graduation upon the same basis as
the other high school subjects.
The Commercial school gives a two-year course and does the work as
thoroughly as it can be done in that time. This year the results were most
gratifying. At the graduating exercises Colonel Murphy, the principal, sub-
jected the graduating class to a severe test in stenography and typewriting in
which the graduates wrote new matter dictated at the rate of 127 words per
minute for five consecutive minutes, and immediately afterwards transcribed
the same accurately upon the typewriter. There were at least 1,200 people
present when the test was given.
This degree of efficiency, coupled with the general education these pupils
received in the course required for graduation, fits them to fill responsible posi-
tions in the best offices and business houses. The importance of this for those
young people cannot be over-estimated. When a graduate of a commercial
school enters upon his business career, the first week is the trying time. Every-
thing is strange to him. He works under the highest nervous tension and the
strain is very great. It is therefore most important vthat the pupils should
have the greatest facility possible in the taking of dictation and in the read-
ing and transcribing of their stenographic notes.
With this end in view, the work in stenography and typewriting is thor-
oughly correlated. First of all, the pupils are required to read all of the
shorthand notes made in class. They are also required to transcribe regularly
upon the typewriter the different kinds of subject matter dictated to them.
These transcriptions are carefully corrected by the teachers in typewriting
and shorthand. The pupils are thus given systematic drill in practical
amanuensis work, and every detail of it is criticised as thoroughly as it Vould
be in any business establishment.
To thoroughly systematize this work the following instructions were issued
by my office to the principals of all the schools in which these subjects are
taught, and to the teachers:
San Francisco, February 4. 1909.
To Principals and Teachers of Shorthand and Typewriting.
Ladies and Gentlemen: — In addition to the instructions already given.
the following shall apply in the teaching of your subjects-
SHORTHAND.
1. In elementary classes all shorthand exercises shall be corrected with
red ink by the teacher, and pupils shall be required to copy all corrected words
at least five times before writing the next lesson.
2. In speed classes teachers shall examine pupils' notes frequently and
shall insist upon neat and correct outlines.
3. All pupils in spe-ed classes shall be required to transcribe on the type-
writer as much as possible of the exercise dictated each day. These ]•
shall be handed immediately to the instructor in typewriting for correction as
to form and general neatness. (See rules and requirements for graduation
referred to in 15 below). They shall be returned to the pupils not later than
the following school day. The pupils shall then hand the papers to the teacher
of shorthand for correction as to accuracy of transcript. (See 11 below).
4. Insofar as possible pupils shall be required to read every word they
write in shorthand. Where dictation is given to be transcribed, th* r>x.«r«'i>e
shall not be read in class before the transcription is made.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 943
5. When the teacher in typewriting desires certain "form" work done
in typewriting by the speed pupils in shorthand, the teacher of shorthand shall
secure the copy of such exercise or exercises in "form" work from the teacher
in typewriting, and shall use same for the exercise in dictation in shorthand.
(See 14 below).
6. Pupils shall be kept busy every minute of the recitation period, in
both shorthand and typewriting, so that they may do the maximum amount
of writing, and thus make the greatest possible progress.
7. In elementary and advanced shorthand classes all class and home
exercises shall be kept in permanent form (either in book or folder).
8. Pupils shall not be promoted to advanced classes in shorthand until
they have completed the work of the text-book and received a percentage of not
less than 90 in an examination upon the general principles, and 95 per cent in
examination upon word signs.
TYPEWRITING.
9. Pupils shall be taught to use all fingers in operating the typewriter.
10. Pupils shall strive to produce equal impressions in striking the keys,
from capital M to the comma. Special care must be exercised in striking punctua-
tion marks.
11. All papers written by the pupils shall be corrected by the teacher
and returned not later than the following school day. Transcriptions of short-
hand notes shall be corrected as to form and general neatness by the teacher
of typewriting: as to accuracy of transcript they shall be corrected by the
teacher of shorthand. (See rules and requirements for graduation referred to
in 15 below).
12. Pupils shall keep all typewriting exercises in permanent form.
13. Teachers shall insist upon accuracy, neatness and correct form in
advanced as well as in elementary classes in typewriting.
14. All speed pupils in shorthand, who are equally well advanced in
typewriting, shall spend one typewriting period each day in transcribing their
shorthand notes. (See 5 above).
15. Teachers shall have every pupil in shorthand and typewirting make
a copy for himself of the rules and requirements for graduation in these sub-
jects sent out by this office last term and also at the beginning of this term.
16. See Rule 6 above.
Respectfully,
ALFRED RONCOVIERI,
Supt. of Schools."
The unusual success of this year I believe to be due in a large measure
to the systematic work of the principals and teachers in following the instruc-
tions of my office, and I wish to heartily commend them for their hearty co-
operation in the interests of the boys and girls studying these subjects. So
that there might be a uniform requirement for graduation and a uniform standard
of marking I issued the following instructions at the beginning of the school
year:
"The following rules and requirements based upon those of the United
St.itos Civil Service Commission shall apply in all examinations given to can-
didates for graduation in stenography and typewriting:
944 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
"All of the dictations in any examination in stenography are for five
consecutive minutes. The minimum requirement for graduation is the ability
to write new matter dictated at the rate of 80 words per minute for 5 con-
secutive minutes, and the ability to transcribe the same accurately upon the
typewriter. Dictations will be given at higher rates of speed to those who
express a desire for the same. Both speed and accuracy are considered in the
rating, speed having a weight of 1 and accuracy a weight of 2. The ratings
for speed for the different rates of dictation are as follows:
100 words per minute 100 per cent
90 words per minute 95 per cent
80 words per minute 85 per cent
''The rating for accuracy shall be determined by the correctness of the
transcript according to the following rules :
Mark every correct answer, 100.
Mark every faulty answer according to its value on a scale of 100. as
herein specifically directed, and deduct the sum of the error marks of each
answer from 100.
The difference between the sum of the error marks of each answer and
100 will be the mark of the answer.
STENOGRAPHY.
From
100
deduct.
For each word omitted, added, substituted, or misspelled, or for the use
of the singular instead of the plural, or of the plural instead of the
singular, when the grammatical correctness is affected 3
For each transposition 2
For each gross error in capitalization or punctuation; for each error in
division of words; for each word repeated; for each failure to use
the hyphen when required; for each abbreviation, or for the use of
the plural for the singular, or for the singular for the plural, when
the grammatical correctness is not affected 1
For interlineations, erasures and lack of neatness 1-5
When the mark for accuracy is 10 or less, no credit will be given for speed.
85% shall be required for graduation.
To illustrate — When a pupil writes at the rate of 80 words per minute he
receives 85% on speed. Suppose he should make four errors in the transcrip-
tion of his notes amounting to 12 demerits, his credit on accuracy would be 88.
According to this rule, giving accuracy a weight of 2 and speed a weight of 1,
you multiply 88 by 2, giving a result of 176. Add to this the 85% received
in speed, and divide by three to get the percentage received in shorthand as a
whole, as follows: 176 plus 85 equals 261, divided by 3 equals 87. 87%
would be the final mark on the examination in stenography, giving the pupil
two credits more than required for passing.
TYPEWRITING.
In typewriting the exercise consists of copying 400 to 500 words from
plain copy, transcripts to be marked according to the following rules:
From
100
deduct.
For writing one line over another 10
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 945
For each error in orthography; for each word or figure omitted, provided,
that a deduction of 10 shall be made for the omission of two or more
consecutive words if the words omitted do not constitute more than
one printed line of the copy, and that a deduction of 20 shall be
made for the omission of two printed lines, or more than one line,
etc.; for each word added, substituted, or repeated; for each transpo-
sition; for each abbreviation not in copy; for each failure to capital-
ize or to punctuate as in copy; for each deviation from copy in para-
graphing (maximum for the exercise, 10) ; for failure to indent as in
copy (only one charge to be made in the exercise) ; for each error
in compounding words, or vice versa 5
For each case of inconsistent spacing between lines 3
For each space between the letters of a word; for crowding letters in a
word: for lack of space between words; for striking a letter instead
of space bar; for unfinished word due to coming to end of line when
word is re-written on next line; for striking letters in a line over
band holding paper, thus making no impression on sheet, or for piling
letters over each other at the end of a line when all the letters are de-
cipherable, or for running off paper on right or left margin (max-
imum for the exercise, 10) 2
For each case of irregularity in left-hand margin, or of gross irregularity
in right-hand margin (maximum for the exercise in each case, 5) ;
for each strike over; for the misdivision of a word at the end of line;
for each omission of a hyphen, when needed, at end of line; for
extra space between words (maximum for the exercise. 5); for each
case of inconsistent spacing after punctuation marks; for each word
interlined (maximum for a single interlineation of five or more words,
5; for each erasure (maximum for the exercise, 5) 1
For lack of neatness 1-5
For each error not specified above 1-5
Time consumed will be rated according to the following scale: For a
speed of 35 words or more per minute, a credit of 100 will be given; for 30
words per minute a credit of 95 : for 25 words per minute a credit of 85, and
for 20 words per minute 75. If the exercise is written at a rate of less than
20 words per minute no credit will be given for speed.
Both accuracy and speed are considered in rating, accuracy having a
weight of 3 and speed a weight of 2. 80 per cent shall be required for passing.
To illustrate how these rules would work out in practice, take a paper
written at the rate of 20 words per minute. This would be marked 75% on
speed. If the paper had mistakes amounting to 10 demerits the credit for
accuracy 'would be reduced to 90. To find the credit on the paper as a whole,
multiply the credit for accuracy by three (90 times 3 equals 270), multiply the
credit for speed by two (75 times 2 equals 150), and add both together (270
plus 150 equals 420). Divide the sum by five and the credit in typewriting
is found (420 divided by 5 equals 84).
Respectfully,
ALFRED RONCOYIERI,
Supt. of Schools."
August 14, 1908.
During the past year the touch method of operating the typewriting ma-
chines was put into effect in the entering classes of two of our schools. The
machines were fitted with blank keys. By this method the pupil is taught the
use of all of his fingers in typewriting, and receives such systematic drill in
946
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
familiarizing himself with the keyboard that he can operate the machine with-
out looking at the keys. He is thus able to look at his notes and at the same
time continue operating the machine. The very great advantage of this is
obvious.
In the last announcements issued by the University of California and
Stanford University, shorthand, typewriting and bookkeeping are included
among the subjects which will be accepted for entrance to these institutions.
This is a decided step in advance, and the effect of it upon those subjects in
our schools will be beneficial. For too long a time it has been thought that
commercial subjects were suited to the needs of pupils of small mental caliber.
But it has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that no subjects in the secondary
school curriculum require greater mental alertness and power than these.
Many college preparatory pupils who desired to learn shorthand and type-
writing, but whose time Avas entirely taken up with accredited subjects, will
now be able to do so. And many pupils who took the commercial courses will
now be encouraged to go on with their school work and enter the university.
NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR TEACHERS' SPECIAL CERTIFICATES.
At the last regular meeting of the Board of Examination for the City and
County of San Francisco, the requirements for teachers' special certificates
in stenography and typewriting were fixed as follows :
"The speed test in stenography for a special teachers' certificate in
stenography and typewriting shall consist of the writing of new matter dic-
tated by the examiner at the rate of 110 words per minute for five consecutive
minutes, and of the transcription of the same accurately upon the typewriter.
For passing, there shall be required a rating of 85% in the correctness of
the transcripts under the following rules of marking:

The half-day sessions in the Mission High school and the Commercial school,
due to the necessity of both schools being in the same building, have made
the work harder upon both teachers and pupils. This has been particularly so
for the Commercial school. The number of rooms available in the building for
this school has not been equal to its needs. For this and other reasons it has
been necessary for Commercial school classes to meet in the morning during
the session of the Mission High school as well as in the afternoon, thus making
it impossible for the principal to arrange the schedule of recitations in the best
interests of the pupils. In many cases pupils and teachers are kept in school
more than the required number of hours.
Some time ago I recommended to the Board of Education the fitting up of
additional rooms on the lower floor of the building. With these rooms and the
necessary equipment for them it will be possible to overcome the difficulties
to which I have just referred. It will also enable the school to accommodate
n greater number of pupils. The Commercial Evening school and the Humboldt
Evening High, both of which occupy the Mission High school building in the
evening, are also suffering because of a lack of room. Neither one of these
schools has been able to receive all the applicants for admission. Besides in
some cases two classes have had to hold recitations in the same room at the
same time. This condition will also be remedied by the addition of the rooms
above referred to.
The matter of typewriter equipment for our Commercial classes is an
important one. The life of typewriting machines in a school is shorter than
it would be in a business house, due to the fact that beginners are continually
using the machines in school, whereas in business houses they are used by
948 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
operators more or less expert. In addition the operator in ;m office who has
the exclusive use of a machine and who is held responsible for it. and whose
position depends upon the kind of work done by the machine, will take greater
care of it than the ptipil who is but one of eight or ten who operate the same
typewriter.
New machines are guaranteed by the typewriter 'companies for from one
to two years. During this period a repairman is sent weekly by the best com-
panies to inspect and adjust the machines, and practically the only expense
is for ribbons and new platens or rolls, which should be put on the machines
at the end of each year.
After two years' service the expense of repairs may be very high. In
most cases it is cheaper to trade out the old machines for new ones and pay
the cash difference. To illustrate : The price of new machines in lots of fifty
for school purposes is $50 each. To repair some of our old machines would
cost as high as $18 each. Some of the standard companies would allow us as
high as $35 each and perhaps more for these old machines in trade for new
ones, thus making the cash difference not more than $15. Thus by giving out
$15 and the old machine we would have a new one of the latest model in return
guaranteed for one or two years, while on the other hand by giving out $18
(or $3 more) for repairs, we would still have the old -machine, without any
guarantee and with the possibility of having to pay out more money for repairs
within a year. So from every point of view it would be wise to trade out
these machines for new ones.
If we traded out our machines, say every two years, they would always be
up to date, and the pupils would always be able to turn out the best work.
Thus their eyes would be trained to neatness, and they would be more critical
of their own work. Old machines not only give trouble in operation, but on
account of the battered type and other defects, never produce good results, and
the effect upon the pupils is bad.
The new course of study now being put into effect in our commercial
classes requires the teaching of the use of the mimeograph, multigraph and
adding machine. While it is impossible to give sufficient time to make the
pupils as expert in the use of these as in the use of the typewriter, sufficient
time can be given to have the pupils thoroughly familiar with their operation.
It is highly important that this be done. I, therefore, recommend that one of
the latest models of each of these machines be provided for use in the Com-
mercial day and evening schools.
The required amount of instruction in penmanship was not given in the
Commercial school owing to the fact that Mr. Espina, the regular instructor,
was required to supervise the penmanship of the whole school department. As
this subject is of great importance in the Commercial school, I recommend that
a regular teacher be appointed to the position of teacher of penmanship in the
Commercial school for the coming year.
Miss Freese, the regular instructor in penmanship in the Commercial Even-
ing school, is doing excellent work, and I believe would fill the position ac-
ceptably in the day school. I therefore recommend her for the position.
TYPEWRITING IN GRAMMAR GRADES.
In this same connection I recommend an extension of typewriting T.I a
number of the eighth grades in the grammar schools. This can be done at
very little cost, by establishing at the Hamilton school a center for typewriting,
where the necessary number of machines is already on hand, being used by
the pupils of the evening school only. The center could be conducted in the
same way that the cooking and manual training centers are conducted, by
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 949
having the piipils of surrounding schools come to the Hamilton school for type-
writing at regular hours of certain days of the week.
I do not wish to dwell upon the indirect advantages of this work in the
eighth grades in connection Avith Eiigilsh, etc., although they are very great.
The work in the eighth grade would be justified by this fact: Many of our
grammar school pupils leave school upon graduation. By introducing type-
writing into the eighth grade these pupils would be given an opportunity to
acquire an art which could be used by them to very great advantage in the
practical affairs of life. And this can be done without sacrificing any other
essential work in the grammar schools.
Besides, it would be of very great advantage to every pupil who desires
to enter the high school, and practically so to those who desire to enter the
commercial classes. In the first place, it would help to bridge over most suc-
cessfully the chasm now existing between the grammar schools and the high
schools. Second, it would enable the pupils to enter the high schools with a
high degree of efficiency in the operation of the typewriter and would enable
them to devote more time to other work in the first year of the high school
course.
I therefore recommend that a typewriter center be established in the Ham-
ilton school for the coming school year.
EVENING SCHOOLS.
The total enrollment in the evening schools during the past year was 6,356,
while that of the previous year was 7,189.
With one or two exceptions the discipline in the classes is to be com-
mended in the highest terms. These pupils attend school with a definite end
in view, and their actions show seriousness of purpose. Their ages range all
the way from 14 to 45 years. Foreigners just landed in our country who cannot
speak a word of English come to learn our language, and boys and girls of
from 14 years of age upwards, who were forced to leave school early, come to
continue their lessons in reading, writing and arithmetic. Young mechanics and
draftsmen, employed during the day, come to study the particular branch of
mechanical or architectural drawing and mathematics applicable to their chosen
lines of work. In one department (the technical department of the Humboldt
Evening High school) there were 706 of these this past year, and many more
on the waiting list, for whom there was no room. Others who are working
in business offices come to make themselves more expert in stenography and
typewriting, or to learn bookkeeping or some other subject allied to their daily
work, and those with literary or professional tastes and having a desire to
prepare for entrance to the university, spend their time in studying the more
formal academic subjects. But the mental environment in all the rooms is the
same — the spirit of serious study permeates the whole atmosphere. This at
since practically eliminates for the teacher the problem of discipline, and en-
ables him to devote his whole energy to the teaching of the subject under con-
sideration.
The course of study for the evening elementary schools is very similar to
that for the day elementary schools. The same standard of proficiency is re-
quired for graduation in the evening and the day commercial schools. In the
Humboldt Evening High school the subjects necessary for entrance to the uni-
versity are completed so that the graduates are prepared to take the regular
entrance examinations for full standing in a university.
The need of special evening classes to help those who are preparing for
the Civil Service examinations given by the general Government has long been
leh. In San Francisco examinations are given regularly for clerkships and
other positions in the Federal service, not only in our city, but throughout the
950 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
United States and in our insular possessions. Civil Service examinations are
also given for admission to and promotion in our city service, for instance, in
the police and fire departments, and for clerkships and other positions in the
various municipal departments. Those not in the service and who desire to
prepare for these examinations must either work alone with such suggestions
as they may be able to get from those already in the service or pay a sub-
stantial fee to some private tutor to coach them in the required branches.
Many are not able to pay the fee, nor have they friends from whom they can
get suggestions regarding how to prepare themselves. All of these young
people are worthy of help, and I believe it to be one of our functions to provide
help, especially to those who have a definite purpose in view and who require
educational facilities to enable them to realize that purpose. Classes held two
or three evenings a week in the special subjects required in these examinations
would be well attended, and I recommend that the Board of Education organize
Civil Service classes in connection with our evening schools.
Heretofore no state money has been received to help support evening
schools in California. At the last state election a constitutional amendment
was adopted by the people of California making evening schools a part of the
state system of education. As a result of this money will henceforth be appro-
priated by the state local authorities upon the average daily attendance in these
schools. This will give to San Francisco about $24,700 for the past year.
The passage of this constitutional amendment marks a step of progress
in educational thought. It gives recognition to the fact that the boy who is
compelled to quit school at an early age to enter the economic struggle for
existence is entitled to an education at the expense of the state as well as is
the boy who is not forced to earn his own living and who can spend his entire
time in school and college up to the age of twenty-two or more. It gives recog-
nition to the additional fact that the education which is directly related to a
boy's daily vocation is worthy of support by the state. This is one of the most
hopeful signs in the educational world.
While San Francisco has done much in evening schools for our working
boys and girls, I feel that there is much more to be done. We have not one-
quarter the attendance in these schools that we should have. There are
thousands of boys and girls in San Francisco who ought to attend. Many of
them possibly have 110 inclination to study, but I feel certain that if the ad-
vantages offered by our evening schools were properly advertised, the attend-
ance would soon be doubled. In European cities as well as in the Eastern
cities of our own country, an extensive campaign of advertising is carried on
with remarkable results. I suggest, therefore, that announcements of the open-
ing of our evening schools for next year be printed on large bills and posted in
prominent places throughout the city. I also recommend that these announce-
ments contain a brief statement of the several courses of instruction offered.
There is no reason why young people in San Francisco should pay large tuition
fees to correspondence schools or to private evening schools while the city offers
superior advantages in its schools free.
MUSIC AND ART.
The University of California, in the Undergraduate Bulletin of 1909-10,
has included music amona; the preparatory subjects for admission to the uni-
vorsity. The Bulletin announces that "For the present, and until the schools
of the state are prepared to give systematic instruction in music, credit will
be given only by examination at the university."
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 951
The university, by this announcement, recognizes the educational value of
serious study of music, and practically suggests that departments for systematic
instruction in music be inaugurated, and opportunities presented by the schools
of the state for courses in these subjects.
Pupils are taught music throughout the eight years of the grades. Music
stops in the high school. It is not less important after the 8th year than before.
.Many a student who has carried music lessons up to the high school is com-
pelled to drop • the subject through high school and college, from pressure of
other work, and yet, as a means of culture, refinement, power of enjoyment,
and even of influence in the world and society, it ranks with the best of
academic subjects. Opportunity should be given for chorus work. There
should also be courses offered in musical notation, theory and history of music,
which should count toward graduation. It is impossible to give instrumental
and vocal music requiring individual teaching, and yet many a parent feels the
loss when these have to be given up in the high school in order to carry four
studies. I believe that we can recognize music taken outside of school and
give credit for it towards graduation.
I therefore recommend, first, that a Board of Examiners, composed of ex-
perienced musicians of recognized ability, be appointed, whose duty shall be to
pass upon the lessons and practice out of school hours, of students who desire
credit therefor; secondly, that the music lessons and time of practice to the
equivalent of three high school recitations per week be recognized as school
work; thirdly, that class work in musical theory be given in the high schools.
This would give five hours per week of elective work in music.
I further recommend that the lectures which have been given at the Sum-
mer school of the University of California by Mrs. M. E. Blanchard be repeated.
to our high school pupils.
The Oakland High school is giving two courses in the history of art, in-
cluding sculpture, architecture and painting. This work has five recitations
per week, counts five hours for graduation in the high school and for university
entrance, or may be counted as three hours for advance university work. It
was believed at first that the course would be taken by girls only, but nearly as
many boys as girls are enrolled in the course, and six, as the result of the
work, are preparing to study architecture.
Work similar should be offered in our high schools. One teacher can at
present take charge of the work in two or more high schools. It should not
displace anything now in the courses of study, but be given as an elective. If
such work in Music and Art were offered, many students would take the present
high school course, together with these subjects, and extend their work over
four and a half or five vears.
REPORT OF KSTELLE CARPENTER, SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
JULY 6, 1909.
Hon. Alfred Roncovieri, Supt. of Schools, San Francisco, Cal.
I)car Sir: — In compliance with your request for a report from the Music
Department, I submit the following:
From the inspection made during the past year, it is evident that a decided
Mep in advance has been made in the music work.
The results have been observed in the daily work, and in the various dedi-
cations and graduations which have taken place.
There has been a many sided progression according to the respective grade.
This progression has advanced along educational and musical lines, and em-
»~>'2 SUPKRLXTKXDKXT OF SCHOOLS
braces in the lower grades the intense interest of the child, the culture of the
correct child-voice, the development of the lower preception and the delight in
the interesting and musical song.
In the upper grades there is added the extended knowledge of the theory
of music, the power to sing at sight from the printed page, the power to write
simple exercises in the staff notation from dictation, and the delight given from
singing the best .songs in two and three parts.
During the past year, systematic work has been emphasized in oral and
written dictation, and great encouragement has been given to individual effort
in singing as well as in writing.
There has been a systematic study of the Patriotic and Folk songs. The
very best songs from masters and from the modern composers have been given.
There has been an effort to increase the power for intelligent listening in
music, and there has been an effort to stimulate and broaden the knowledge
of the subject of music in every way.
All children are encouraged to cultivate their voices, to go to concerts, to
study the piano and other musical instruments, and to take their places in the
general musical life of the city.
Especial mention is made of the different graduation exercises where the
very best selections were sung in three parts — such songs as "Pilgrims'
Chorus" by Wagner, "Sextet from Lucia," "Lift Thine Eyes" from Elijah,
"The Blue Danube" by Strauss, and "Serenade" by Gounod.
The- effort is always made to give to the child the benefit of this knowledge
of great songs, and to interpret these songs so that the right impulse may be
quickened. This power of song is so needful in education, and so forceful
because it reaches the "inmost center of us all where truth abides in fullness,"
and thence arouses the essence of the man and child and quickens the main-
spring of action. It has the power to formulate the motive of life.
Thus through great 'songs and the inspirational teaching of them, we have
endeavored to enrich the hearts and lives of the girls and boys and to give
music its rightful place in education.
To the principals, teachers, special teachers, and my assistant, I wish to
express my appreciation of the work done during the past year.
I cannot close without thanking the superintendent, deputy superintendents,
and the Board of Education for their co-operation and kindness.
I am, respectfully
ESTELLE CARPENTER, Supervisor of Music.
REPORT OF MISS KATHERINE M. BALL, SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
San Francisco, June 11, 1909.
Mr. Alfred Roncovieri, Supt. of Schools.
My Dear Sir: — In reply to your request for a report from the Drawing
Department of the city schools, I submit the following:
I am happy to inform you that our results this year are more satisfactory
than those of any preceding year.
The best testimony of the success of the work was the exhibition of draw-
ings and craft work, prepared for the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Exposition, and
shown at the San Francisc > Institute of Art, the past month.
The exhibition included a remarkable collection of spontaneous story draw-
ings— from pupils of six, seven and eight years of age — ranging from the very
beginnings of children's efforts to express themselves by means of outline draw-
ings, through various stages of growth, and culminating in compositions in
color, which would be creditable to advanced workers.
SUPER1XTEXDEXT OF SCHOOLS 9.1;;
There was also object drawing in color, from plant forms, fruits and
vegetables and still life, showing not only a knowledge of the sciences of per-
spective, light and shade and color harmony, but also expressing a feeling for
the beauty of the models represented.
In the design, geometric and floral motives were multiplied in all-over
patterns, borders and single ornaments, decorating book covers, portfolios, boxes,
candle shades, vases and printed cottons; all of which were made under the
xisual school-room conditions, within the very limited time of but one hour a
week.
The exhibition attracted a great deal of favorable attention. The teachers
and students of the Art Institute, as well as prominent art critics of the city,
Avere profuse in their commendation of the work, all alike remarking upon its
originality and unusual quality. A visiting art teacher from the East, surprised
at what he saw and not understanding our system of art instruction, attributed
the excellence of the work to local conditions, specifying the climate, the out-
door life, the beauty of scenery, our cosmopolitan population and the influence
of the Oriental wares to be found in our shops; forgetting that all these may
exist, and there still be no art in the community, unless there are teachers of
art to cultivate it.
If we have achieved anything of consequence, it is due to our fifteen years
of study, experiment, unceasing endeavor and attention to every detail. Interest,
effort, energy and money have not been spared by the supervisor, who has never
let an opportunity go by, to keep in touch with the world's work in art and
education.
Through the addition to the Department of Drawing of two competent
assistants, it has been possible to give more supervision to all the schools than
was the case heretofore, and in so doing increase the efficiency of the work.
While we are gratified with our results, we feel that with more favorable
conditions regarding time, equipment and additional assistants, there are still
great possibilities for growth in many directions; possibilities which in time will
come to be recognized as of the greatest value to the industrial development of
this country.
Thanking you and the Board of Education for your kindly assistance and
the principals and teachers for their hearty co-operation, I remain
Yours sincerely,
KATHERINE M. BALL, Supervisor of Drawing.
REPORT OF MISS LEW BALL, SUPERVISOR OF PRIMARY READING.
San Francisco, June 15, 1909.
Mr. A. Roncovieri, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: — I submit herewith my report for the school year 1908-09:
READING.
In our primary grades, the year just closed shows most encouraging re-
sults. Such deep interest has been evident, and such earnest work has been
done by principals and teachers, that not only has the amount laid down in the
course of study been completed, but in many schools even more has been ac-
complished.
With the full appreciation that teaching reading successfully means train-
ing the child in the right reading habit, that is the habit of reading for the
purpose of getting thought from the printed page, we know that before the
child can get the thought in any coherent manner, he must have power to read
954 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
the printed symbols in which the thoughts are expressed — and this we call the
mechanics of reading; that while it is necessary to give to the child as early
us passible in his reading course full ability to read these printed symbols, yet
to do this for the sake of perfection in mechanics only at the expense of thought
in reading is disastrous, leading to the formation of a wrong reading habit.
Therefore, from the beginning, Ave aim to make the teaching of reading suc-
cessful in two- fold, (1) by providing the child with reading material that is
suitable and interesting, through which (2) he begins to acquire the mechanics
of reading.
AVhile of necessity, the drill in mechanics must continue, the sentences and
stories in which mechanics are applied need not be spoiled in interest for the
child; so, while he is gaining in ability to read the printed page, he is also
gaining in power to appreciate and interpret thought content.
It is not difficult to find subjects that are interesting to every child —
games, toys, pets, doings of his playmates, his own activities and interests —
and it is not difficult for the sympathetic teacher to know how to make best use
of these in child-like sentences.
READING AND DRAMATIZATION.
There is always abundant opportunity to take advantage of the dramatic
or "play" side of the child's nature. In those schools where the reading has
been most successful, a great deal of dramatized reading has been carried on.
In one first grade which I visited not long ago, the interest of an entire class
of fifty-two children was held for a long period through the simple dramatiza-
tion of a commonplace reading lesson, the children reading, interpreting, and
acting, while encouraged by the sympathetic, skillful teacher. That the lesson
was a success, no one who had watched the faces of the children could doubt.
In anoflher school, my visit fell upon a day when the children were reading and
"playing" Mother Goose, and, with great satisfaction, Little Boy Blue went
to sleep under the imaginary hay stack, while nimble Jack jumped over the
candle-stick and Little Miss Muffet ate her curds and whey.
BLACKBOARD READING.
Throughout the first year, all teachers have given a great deal of reading
from blackboard, reading slips, and mimeographed copies. This work is always
indispensable in a first grade. The interested teacher will always resort to it,
because ( 1 ) no book in print can make complete provision for the needs of all
classes of children, nor for any children at all stages of the work; (2) it enables
the teacher to supplement at just the right points and in just the right way
to keep i lie work alive, and to give proper emphasis and repetition. While it
will always b«- used, during the past year too much of it has been necessary
because df the insufficient supply of supplementary readers.
CHILDREN'S VOICES.
In a'l oral reading, effort is made to keep the children's voices natural — •
soft and sweet. This leads to better enunciation, for when not permitted to
raise his voice to an artificial pitch, the child makes greater effort to speak
distinctly.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 955
SUPERVISION.
Owing to the large number of schools having primary grades. I have been
able to give direct supervision to the first and second grades only. "With but
few exceptions, at least one visit each term has been made to every first and
second grade in the city, the length of time spent in each room varying from
one-half hour to two hours in length. During the coming year it is planned
to carry on the work now begun through the third and fourth grades.
Directions and instructions have been given to teachers at general teachers'
meetings, at special meetings held in individual schools, and during weekly office
hours for the reception of teachers.
SUPPLEMENTARY READERS.
In our primary grades the greatest drawback has been the great lack of
supplementary readers. The children in these grades are asked to buy but one
book for the entire term's work. In the process of learning to read, this is
far from being sufficient. The child memorizes easily, and when a page is once
memorized, its mission as part of the material used in teaching the child to
read is gone. To hold the interest of the child, and to enable him to read a
sufficient amount, an ample supply of reading matter must be furnished. In
not one school has there been a sufficient supply, while in many schools almost
no books have been furnished.
I most strongly recommend that ample provision be made for supplementary
reading in all grades.
HAND WORK.
One of the ever present problems of the primary school room is that of
keeping the children profitably employed between recitation periods. Every
teacher of a large first grade must give much of her time daily to the teaching
of one group of children at a time. This plan makes it necessary to provide
occupation for all children not under her immediate charge. That the children
may come to their recitation refreshed, rested, and receptive, these unsuper-
vised periods should offer an entire change of work.
From kindergarten and manual training departments, suggestions have
come which have led to the adaptation of certain forms of hand work that serve
our purpose beyond a doubt. Particularly popular has been the raffis and yarn
weaving on frames, discs and looms. This work is making a place for itself
in the primary school room, and its value is recognized by teachers because
(1) it offers change and rest to the child, enabling him to move about and free-
ing him from mental and physical strain; (2) having been taught the pre-
liminary steps, he can work without direct supervision, making a large variety
of articles that continue to hold his interest; (3) he works towards a definite
end, and has a completed article to carry away with him at the end of his labor.
This work has been used in many of our first grades, and pronounced a
success by those who have given it a trial. In some schools exhibits of the
finished work of the children were held at the close of the term in December.
Special attention was called to one exhibit which showed such excellence, and
proved so interesting, that it attracted visiting parents and teachers in large
numbers.
In closing this report, I wish to express appreciation of the earnest interest
and co-operation of the principals and teachers with whom I have worked, and
to convey thanks for the support given by the Board of Education, by the super-
intendent and his assistants.
Very respectfully,
LEW BALL, Supervisor of Primary Grades.

UKPORT OF MISS ELLEN M. BARTLETT, SUPERVISOR OF DOMESTIC
SCIENCE.
Central Manual Training School.
San Francisco, June 11, 1909.
Hon. Alfred Roncovieri, Superintendent of Schools.
San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sir: I have the honor of submitting to you the following report of
the Domestic Science Department for the school year 1908-1909.
There are nine cooking centers in the San Francisco public schools. They
are found in the following schools :
Central Manual Training School, Crocker Grammar School, Glen Park
Grammar School. Hamilton Grammar School, Hearst Grammar School, Horace
Mann Grammar School, Irving M. Scott Grammar School, Laguna Honda Gram-
mar School and Monroe Grammar School.
There are eight teachers employed:
One supervisor, salary $1,200 per annum.
Six assistants, salary $900 per annum.
One substitute, salary $3 per day.
The enrollment for the fall term, 1,616; spring term, after establishment
of Glen Park center, 1,799.
Daily average attendance, 99.5 per cent.
' Cost of supplies, $863.92.
Cost of supplies per pupil for one year, $0.515.
I am happy to report that there is a growing appreciation of the value of
domestic science.
It was at the instigation of the Glen Park Improvement Club that gas
was introduced, into that neighborhood so that a cooking center might be opened
in that school. The Improvement Clubs near the Monroe School are working
to get a temporary gas main put in so that the Monroe center may be used.
The parents of the Bay View school children have presented a largely
signed petition to the Board of Education asking to have a cooking center
put in ihiit school.
The most c:»vdial relations exist between the domestic science teachers and
the principals and teachers of our pupils. My assistants are all hard workers
and are .training in efficiency all the time. During the past term three new
<-enters have been equipped. These are the Glen Park, Laguna Honda and
Monroe ei nlers.
Mcire renters are still needed as there are yet several hundred girls without
accommodation. A new teacher is also needed. I would suggest one who holds
a <lipl.nna t'roin a school of domestic science.
The enclosed fable shows the course of lessons taught.
\Vith many thanks for the courtesies received from your office, I am,
Very respectfully yours,
KLLEN M. BARTLETT,
Supervisor of Domestic Science.

MANUAL TRAINING.
The following excerpts are taken from the report of Mr. F. K. Barthel,
Supervisor of Manual Training.
''During the past year, instruction in Manual Training has been given to
the boys of the seventh and eighth grades at the following laboratories: Sher-
man, Central. Hamilton, Crocker, Moulder, Everett, Horace Mann and Irving-
M. Scott. In addition, work was inaugurated in May in the newly equipped
Monroe and Laguna Honda laboratories, and classes were held four times a week
at the Parental School.
''The teachers under my supervision have been the following: Messrs.
H. C. Bagot, D. E. Bowling, P. F. Dailey, L. E. Davidson. A. J. Hamilton
(resigned), R. B. Thompson, A. M. Sylvia, I. H. Williams and M. A. Felton
(on leave).
"In the preparation of a new course, I examined into the work of the
Manual Training Departments of San Jose, Berkeley, Oakland and Sacramento,
and also, as far as my facilities permitted, the work of a number of Eastern
cities.
"In January the A seventh classes began the new course, both in wood-
work and in drawing, and the results in the main have been highly satis-
factory. In the preparation of this new course, I have endeavored to embody
the following features:
1. A systematic introduction of tools.
2. A systematic introduction of processes.
3. A knowledge of materials.
4. A systematic development of certain principals of construction and
elements of design.
5. The development of originality and initiative.
6. A linking with home and school interests, and with social and industrial
life.
7. The development of skill and technique.
8. The undertaking of ambitious projects.
9. "Individual'' and "community'' work.
10. "Optional" and "prescribed'' work.
11. An appreciation of good ornamentation and proper finish.
12. All-around development of the pupil.
"Submitted with the report are the outlines of the wood-work for the
A and B seventh grades. The eighth grades will continue the old work, with
some modifications for the present. By another year all grades will be working
under the now course and we shall then be in a position to fully estimate results.
"Drawing is a very necessary and valuable .part of manual training instruc-
tion. Every boy should know how to read and how to make the working plan*
necessary in the construction of his project. My first care was to eliminate all
copy work. After consultation with Mr. Drew, head of the Mechanical Draw-
ing Department of the Polytechnic High School, I adopted the same set of
"conventions'* as are used by him. This will obviate any "unlearning'' by
the boys who attend that school after leaving the grammar school. The work
as outlined, a ropy of which is submitted, was given this term to the A seventh
das>es an '.I results indicate that, with some slight changes and with a better
und. 'i-standing by the instructors of what is wanted, the drawing of the future
will be as satisfactory as the limited time at our disposal for this feature of our
work \viil ;>enrit.
''The equipment of the new laboratories at the Monroe and Laguna Honda
Sch >ols provides accommodations for a large number of pupils heretofore crowded
out for lack of room.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 959
"The completion of the several new schools provided for in the Bond issue
will soon afford opportunity for the extension of the work into lower grades, and
it should be the policy of the school authorities to provide for such extension
whenever and wherever laboratory accommodations will permit.
''The greatest drawback to good work in this Department today is the
lack of room in our workshops. Our manual training rooms average less than
900 square feet of floor space. Such cramped quarters necessitates the use of
the smallest manual training benches made; the placing of them so close
together, often less than two feet, that there is not sufficient space to use the
various tools properly, all of which interferes greatly with the quality of the
work undertaken. Xo provision is made for the care or storing of large projects,
nor for their proper finishing. In some laboratories the pupils literally walk
over and on the work of each other, while the passage of the teacher from one
pupil to another is possible only at the sacrifice of time and energy.
In the new Monroe, Laguna Honda and Washington Schools it is very evi-
dent that those who planned those structures had no very comprehensive idea
of what are the requirements of a modern manual training room, and so in
those buildings are small rooms unprovided with the accessories actually neces-
sary in order that the work may be conducted economically and efficiently.
"In regard to supplies of lumber and hardware, the experience of myself
and my predecessor might be properly expressed by saying that there have been
"lean years and fat years," and I would suggest that a certain definite sum of
money, based upon the enrollment of the grades taking the work, be set aside
each year for supplies. I have endeavored to lessen the amount of the lumber
bill by using almost exclusively the cheaper kinds; at the same time it should
be kept in mind that too much economy in this regard will simply curtail the
benefits that should be obtained from the work.
"During the year I have held one or more teachers' meetings per month.
In addition I arranged for three talks, as follows: Miss Ball, "The Elements of
Design'1 and the San Francisco "Drawing Course"; Mr. Altman, "Color Har-
mony"; Miss Van Vleck, "Ornament." These talks were of the utmost benefit
and the speakers are entitled to our cordial thanks.
"My assistants attended in a body the meeting of the California Manual
Training Association, and also visited the exhibit of manual training work
held by the schools of Berkeley.
"From May 31 to June 6 inclusive, was held a joint exhibition of the work
of the seventh and eighth grades of the San Francisco schools and the Poly-
technic High School.
"This exhibition has had a most stimulating effect upon both pupils and
teachers. I am sure that it was sufficiently beneficial to warrant the holding of
such affairs at regular intervals."
Following is an oiitline of the work in manual training:

REPORT FOR ORAL SCHOOL FOR DEAF, 1908-1909.
MRS. J. B. HOLDEN IN CHARGE.
I desire at this time to submit to the Hon. Supt. of Schools a short report
of our school work for the past year.
The school opened last August with 19 pupils in attendance. Since that
time four more have been added to the roll.
The average daily attendance has been very good.
There has been little illness excepting colds.
It was our sad duty to record the death of one of our little pupils, who
had suffered for almost a year with heart trouble.
The pupils in our school are required to take a special course in sense
training, articulation voice training, lip reading and language. In cases where
we find evidence of some hearing auricular training is given.
When far enough advanced, we begin the work outlined by your course of
study for city schools.
Nine of Mr. Holden's class have accomplished the work thus mapped out
as far as "A" 6th grade and are ready to begin "B" 6th grade work in
August.
Five of the younger pupils are very well graded for ('B" 3d grade work
next year. Five more for "A" 2d grade. Four pupils are ungraded, one of
them being a kindergarten tot of three years of age.
Three other children will enter in August or rather their parents have
been here and desire to have them enter at that time.
One of our boys has been doing very good work in the "A" 7th grade in
the John Swett school since January 1st.
Our pupils have made very good progress this year. They have worked
faithfully and appreciatively.
We have every reason to feel that there is general satisfaction among the
parents as to the condition of the school.
I would suggest that an additional teacher be hired in the fall if our
enrollment is twenty-three or twenty-four.
Nine pupils in 6th grade is all one teacher ought to have and fourteen
for the other teacher with a prospect of two or three more are more than she
can do justice to.
Mr. Holden and I will spend the first two weeks of our vacation in visiting
day schools for the deaf in Illinois and Wisconsin. We hope to bring back
many new and useful ideas which may be of benefit to our pupils here.
We desire to express our appreciation of your interest in our work and
the kindly consideration of the Board of Education.

CONCERNING HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATION IN CALIFORNIA.
1. Regular certification by County Board of Education.
The law provides that the State Board of Education shall prescribe the
general rules upon which County Boards and County and City Board of Education

university belonging to the Association of American Universities; which year
of graduate study shall include one half-year of advanced academic study (part
of the time, at least, being devoted to one or more of the subjects taught in the
high school), and such other time in a well-equipped training school of secondary
grade directed by the Department of Education of any one of the universities of
the association, as may be necessary to fulfill the pedagogical requirements pre-
scribed by this Board.
(b) To candidates who have received the Bachelor's Degree from a col-
lege requiring not less than eight years of high school and college training, and
who submit evidence that in addition to the courses required for the Bachelor's
Degree they have successfully completed at least on half-year of graduate study
in a university belonging to the Association of American Universities; which
half-year of graduate study shall consist of advanced academic study (part of
the time, at least, being devoted to one or more of the subjects taught in the
high school): and six months as student teachers in a well-equipped school of
secondary grade directed by a California State Normal, or its recognized equiva-
lent, under conditions conforming to the requirements prescribed by this Board
as the minimum amount of pedagogy.
(c) The minimum amount of pedagogy which Section 1521, subdivision 2
(a), of the Political Code, directs the State Board of Education to prescribe, is
hereby declared to be as follows:
Satisfactory completion of courses, suitable and essential to acquiring effi-
cient skill in teaching and an intelligent comprehension of the scope, and the
attainable goals in high school instruction; said courses to be equivalent to not
less than twelve hours per week for one half-year, provided, that at least one-
third of this work shall consist of practical teaching under the direction of
supervising insti-uctors of academic competency and breadth of pedagogic com-
prehension who for a period of not less than two years have taught the subjects
in which they supervise.
2. In lien of the pedagogical training above prescribed, candidates may
submit evidence vhowing that they are graduates of a California State Normal
school, or other Xormal school officially recognized by this Board as of equivalent
rank, or have taught with decided success as regular teachers or as principals at
least twenty months in any reputable school, elementary or secondary; and
provided, that until further notice, the practical teaching prescribed may have
been pursued in schools of grammar or secondary grade in connection with a
California State Normal school, or under the direction of the Department of
Education of the University of California or of Leland Stanford Junior Univer-
sity, as ( videnced by a certificate of proficiency.

i First, that you have had eight years of high school and college work, with
Bachelor's Degree.
For convenience, the above rules may be briefly summarized, as follows :
To apply to a County Board of Education for a High School Certificate you
must present satisfactory evidence of three things, viz:
Second, that you have had a half-year of postgraduate work in one of the
Association of American Universities.
Third, that you have had six months of practice-teaching in the training
school of one of the above universities, or an accredited Normal school. [Twenty
months of elementary or secondary teaching experience may be accepted in lieu
of this six months' practice-teaching.]
Observe that if you can meet these conditions you have nothing to do with
any State authorities, but that you go directly to the Board of Education of the
county where you propose to teach. By "satisfactory evidence" is meant di-
plomas and recommendations of faculties certifying to the high character of the
work performed and the personal fitness of the candidate.
2. The Special High School Credential.
The law provides that the State Board of Education may also consider the
•cases of individual candidates who have twenty months of successful elementary
or secondary experience as teachers and who have not the exact credentials
required above for regular certification. The State Board of Education in con-
sidering such cases will have in mind as the standard the same REQUIRE-
MENTS AS FOR REGULAR CERTIFICATION ABOVE— that is, four years
of high school work, four years of college work, and a half-year of postgraduate
university work. As equivalent the Board may consider any evidences of
scholarship, education, experience, training, travel, or culture, that may be
offered. To candidates who in the judgment of the Board fully meet the
ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS OF REGULAR CERTIFI-
CATION will be granted the Special High School Credential, upon which County
and City Boards of Education may grant regular High School Certificates.
9!)0 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Candidates for the Special High School Credential will be guided by the
following instructions in getting their cases before the State Board of Education:
A. Get a blank application for Special High School Credential from the
office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction at Sacramento. Fill it out
with a complete history of your case, and swear to it before some officer com-
petent to administer an oath. Get together the diploma, recommendations,
documents and catalogues that officially demonstrate your case. Get a certifi-
cate of sound bodily health from a reputable physician. Get a money order for
two dollars, payable to the State Board of Education. Send all of these to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction at Sacramento, California.
B. Do not expect early action upon your application, to meet some sudden
emergency. The correspondence, investigation and consideration relating to it
may be the work of months. The State Board of Education is an ex-officio body,
meets at irregular intervals, and only three or four times per year.
C. Before a Special High School Credential can be issued, you must have
a personal interview with some member of the State Board of Education. The
credentials can not be issued to non-residents of California; but the Board will
examine and report upon the application of non-residents when such applications
are made as above described.
D. If you have had twenty months' elementary or secondary teaching ex-
perience and can not meet the standards described above, you may yet show
your fitness for the Special High School Credential by taking an examination.
Examinations will be given twice per year at Chico, Berkeley, and Los Angeles,
simultaneously, under direction of the president of the Chico Normal school,
the professor of pedagogy of the State University at Berkeley, and the president
of the Los Angeles Normal school, respectively. Application blanks and further
particulars may be obtained at the office of the Superintendent of Public In-
struction at Sacramento.

CIRCULAR 3— HYATT.
EXAMINATION FOR SPECIAL HIGH SCHOOL CREDENTIALS.
The law for the granting of the Special High School Credential is found
in Section 1521, Sub. 2, of the Political Code. It authorizes the State Board
of Education to consider the cases of individual applicants who have taught
successfully for a period of not less than twenty school months and who are
not possessed of the credentials prescribed for regular certification by a County
Board of Education. The State Board of Education may, in its discretion,
grant to such persons the Special High School Credential, upon which County
Boards of Education may grant regular High School Certificates. In granting
these Special Credentials the State Board expects the equivalent of the follow-
ing standard of qualification: First, four years of high school education; sec-
ond, four years of college training; and, third, a half-year of postgraduate work
in an accredited university. Usually these credentials are issued upon creden-
tials, affidavits and recommendations; but, when necessary, the State Board
will als > examine applicants who wish to show their fitness in that way: and
the examinations will be conducted by a standing committee of the State Board
of Kducati'in. and according to the rules given below. The exact letter of the
law up< n which all this is based, is as follows:
2. (a) To prescribe by general rule the credentials upon which
persons may be granted certificates to teach in the high schools of this
State. No credentials shall be prescribed or allowed, unless the same,
in the judgment of said Board, are the equivalent of a diploma of
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 991
graduation from the University of California, and are satisfactory evi-
dence that the holder thereof has taken an amount of pedagogy equiva-
lent to the minimum amount of pedagogy prescribed by the State Board
of Education of this State, and include a recommendation for a high
school certificate from the faculty of the institution in which the peda-
gogical work shall have been taken.
(b) The said board shall also consider the cases of individual
applicants who have taught successfully for a period of not less than
twenty school months, and who are not possessed of the credentials
prescribed by the board under the provisions of this section. The said
board, in its discretion, may issue to such applicants special credentials
upon which they may be granted certificates to teach in the high schools
of the State. In such special cases, the board may take cognizance of
any adequate evidence of preparation which the applicants may present.
The standard of qualification in such special cases shall not be lower
than that represented by the other credentials named by the board
under the provisions of this section.
RULES.
Observe that no one can be granted this credential unless he has had at
least twenty months' successful experience in teaching.
The date of examination for 1908 has been fixed for May 13, 14, 15. Ex-
aminations will be conducted simultaneously, if there be candidates, at Chico,
Berkeley, and Los Angeles, under the direct supervision of the following com-
mittee of the State Board of Education : C. C. Van Liew, State Normal School,
Chico; A. F. Lange, University of California, Berkeley; J. F. Millspaugh, State
Normal School, Los Angeles. For more detailed information as to the hour at
which and the building wherein the examination will be held, the applicant
should communicate with the committeeman at whose place he expects to take
the examination.

INFORMATION ABOUT CALIFORNIA SCHOOL SYSTEM.
SCHOOL OFFICERS.
For the State there is a Superintendent of Public Instruction and a State
Board of Education composed of nine members. For ^each county there is a
County Superintendent of Schools and a Board of Education composed of five
members. For each school district there is a Board of Trustees composed of
three members. In cities having charters there is a City Board of Education
of five or more members.
FUNCTIONS OF OFFICERS.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction superintends the schools of the
State, sells the State text-books, acts as the secretary of the State Board of
Education, and prepares and distributes blanks, laws and registers for the use
of school officers.
The State Board of Education issues Life Diplomas, adopts and publishes
State text-books, prescribes the conditions of high school certification, and makes
accredited lists of normal schools, kindergarten training schools, and univer:
sities.
The County Superintendent of Schools superintends the schools of the
county, issues temporary certificates, conducts county institutes, and acts as
the secretary of the County Board of Education.
The County Board of Education grants and revokes teachers' certificates,
makes the course of study, conducts teachers' examinations, and graduates
pupils from the grammar schools.
The Board of Trustees employs teachers and janitors, builds school houses,
and manages the schools. One of their number is elected as clerk, and acts as
an executive officer. In cities, the City Board of Education performs the same
duties as the Board of Trustees does in the district.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The public schools consist of primary schools, giving the first five or six
years of instruction ; grammar schools, giving the next three or four years of
work, and high schools, usually giving four years of work additional to the
grammar schools. There are also evening schools, kindergartens, manual train-
ing schools, and schools for the deaf in some of the cities.
OTHER STATE SCHOOLS.
There is a State university, located at Berkeley; five State Normal schools,
at San Jose, Los Angeles, Chico, San Diego, and San Francisco respectively; a
Polytechnic school at San Luis Obispo, and schools of a reformatory nature at
Whittier and lone. The presidents of any of these institutions will furnish infor-
mation at request.
NUMBER OF TEACHERS.
There are about 8,000 primary and grammar school teachers, about 1,100
high school teachers, and about 300 kindergarten and night school teachers. Of
these, about one-eighth are men.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 999
PUPILS ENROLLED.
There are about 300,000 primary and grammar school pupils enrolled, and
about 30,000 high school pupils. Their schooling costs about ten million dollars
per year, for all purposes. Six millions of this is for teachers' salaries.
TEACHERS' SALARIES.
The lowest salaries are about $400 per year, for the teachers of small rural
schools. Salaries for primary and grammar schools range from $400 to $800
per year, with an average of about $600. Principals get an average of about
$800. High school teachers receive from $700 to $1,500 per year, with an
average of about $1,000. High school principals average about $1,350. The
cost of board ranges from $16 to $30 per month, averaging about $24.
TERMS AND TIMES.
The term of school varies from 8 to 10 months per year, averaging 9 in
primary and grammar schools, 9V2 in high schools. No school can fall below
six months. The terms usually begin in September and close in May or June,
although there are many exceptions in the high mountains and along the coast.
TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES.
There are four kinds of certificates issued by County Boards of Education:
High school, Grammar school, Special and Kindergarten-Primary. All certifi-
cates require a fee of $2 before being issued.
HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATES.
High school certificates are issued only upon credentials, not upon exam-
ination. A circular (No. 4) giving the details of high school certificates will be
furnished upon request, by the Superintendent of Public Instruction at Sacra-
mento ; or a copy may be seen at the office of the nearest County Superintendent
of Schools. A high school certificate entitles the holder to teach in any high
school, grammar school or primary school in the county.
GRAMMAR SCHOOL CERTIFICATES OR CREDENTIALS.

Grammar school certificates may also be issued by the County Board of
Education upon examination. Examinations are held twice a year and upon
the following subjects: Reading, English grammar and advanced composition,
English and American literature, orthography and denning, penmanship, draw-
ing, vocal music, bookkeeping, arithmetic, algebra to quadratics, plane geometry,
geography (physical, political and industrial), elementary physics, physiology
and hygiene, history of the United States and Civil Government, history (ancient,
mediaeval and modern), school law, methods of teaching. These examinations,
vary somewhat in the different counties, as each county is a law unto itself in
details. Usually the examinations occur in December and June and occupy from
three to five days of time; but there are many exceptions. All applicants pay
a fee of $2. Detailed information of time, place, rules, and samples of questions,
may usually be obtained upon request of the County Superintendent of Schools.
Any Grammar school certificate entitles the holder to teach in any grammar or
primary school in the county.
SPECIAL CERTIFICATES.
The County Board of Education may issue Special certificates to those who,
by examination or any credentials, or by both, shall satisfy the board of their
special fitness to teach one or more of the particular studies for which special
certificates may be granted, and who shall satisfy the board of their proficiency
in English grammar, orthography, defining, and methods of teaching. No special
certificate shall be granted to teach, in any school, studies other than drawing,
music, physical culture, and commercial, technical, or industrial work. These
special certificates do not entitle the holder to take charge of regular schools
or to teach other branches than the technical ones specifically named in the
certificate.
KINDERGARTEN PRIMARY CERTIFICATES.
The County Board of Education may grant kindergarten-primary certificates
upon credentials only, not examination. Such certificates do not entitle the
holder to teach primary or grammar school classes, but only kindergartens.

certificates, diplomas from the kindergarten department of a California State
Normal school, and diplomas from kindergarten training schools on the ac-
credited list. See remark concerning Circular No. 1 under Grammar School
certificates, above.
TEMPORARY CERTIFICATES.
The County Superintendent has power to isuue, if he deem it proper to
do so, temporary certificates, valid for six months, to persons holding certificates
which in his judgment correspond in grade to certificates which may be issued
under the provision of law, or to graduates of those schools i>; the State of
California which in his judgment are the equivalent in scholarship required
for graduation from the normal schools of California; provided, that no person
shall be entitled to receive such temporary ccrtiticiite more than OUCP in tin-
same county. The temporary certificate requires no fee.

tendance.

California is the only State making its own text-books for the public
schools. It has done so for about twenty-five years. Copyrights and plates of
text-books adopted by the State Board of Education are leased of the publishers
at royalties ranging from 15 to 25% of the price. The books are manufactured

1565. Except for a temporary certificate, every applicant for a teachers'
certificate, or for the renewal of a certificate, upon presenting his application,
shall pay to the county superintendent a fee of two dollars. All money so
received by the county superintendent shall immediately be deposited by him
in the county treasury. The county treasurer shall credit one-half of all
moneys so received to a separate fund to be known as the Teachers' Institute
fund, and the other half to a fund to be known as the Teachers' Library fund.
The Teachers' Institute fund may be expended in payment of the services of
such instructors in the County Teachers' Institute as are not teachers in the
public schools of the county in which such institute is held. For this purpose
warrants may be drawn by the auditor upon the request of the county superin-
tendent. The Teachers' Library fund may be expended in a similar manner
for the establishment of a teachers' library and for the transportation of library
books, and other reading matter of the teachers' library, to and from the various
schools of the county. The county superintendent may act as librarian thereof,
but whenever in any county there is a county library, the county superintendent
may require the county treasurer to credit all moneys payable to the Teachers'
Library fund to the County Library fund, and may transfer to the county library
all books and other property belonging to the teachers' library, and thereupon
the county library shall administer the teachers' library as part of itself; but
all funds received from the county superintendent in accordance with this sec-
tion shall be expended exclusively for the purchase and maintenance of books
of professional interest to teachers.
Sec. 1696. Every teacher in the public schools must —
(1) Before assuming charge of a school, file his or her certificate with
the superintendent of schools; provided, that when any teacher so employed
is the holder of a California State Normal school diploma, accompanied by the
certificate of the State Board of Education, as provided in subdivision third of
section one thousand five hundred and three of the Political Code, an educa-
tional or a life diploma of California, upon presentation thereof to the superin-
tendent he shall record the name of said holder in a book provided for that pur-
pose in his office, and the holder of said diploma shall thereupon be absolved from
the provisions of this subdivision.
1696a. Whenever the school register or registers of any teacher or
teachers, or other records of any public school district in any school year, may
have been or shall hereafter be destroyed by conflagration or other public
1012 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
calamity, thereby preventing the teacher or teachers and said school officers
from making their monthly or annual reports in the usual manner and with ac-
curacy the affidavits of the teacher or teachers, the school principals or other
school officers of such school district certifying as to the contents of such de-
stroyed registers or other records shall be accepted by all authorities for all
school matters appertaining to such school district except that of average daily
attendance. The average daily school attendance of any public school district
or high school whereof the register or registers of the teacher or teachers, or
any number of them or other records may have been or shall hereafter be de-
stroyed by conflagration or other public calamity, or whereof, by reason of such
conflagration or calamity the regular session or attendance of such district or
high school has been interrupted and its average attendance materially affected
thereby, shall be its average daily attendance of the next preceding school year
increased or diminished by the average yearly percentage of increase or decrease
calculated for the next preceding ten years; provided, that the average daily
attendance of such school district or high school for the school year ending June
30, 1906, shall be its average daily attendance for the school year ending June
30, 1905, with five per cent (5%) thereof as increase added thereto.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
REPORT OF
SUPERINTENDENT RONCOVIERI ON VISITS TO
EUROPEAN SCHOOLS.
San Francisco, January, 1909.
To His Excellency, James N. Gillett, Governor of California ; to His Honor,
Mayor Edward R. Taylor: to the Honorable Board of Supervisors, and to
the Honorable Board of Education, in and for the City and County of San
Francisco.
Gentlemen: — In this report of my visit to European schools, my first duty,
which is only a pleasure, shall be an expression of thanks to His Excellency,
Governor James N. Gillett; to His Honor, Mayor Edward R. Taylor; to the
Board of Supervisors, and to the Board of Education of this city and county,
in acknowledgment of the very kind and courteous permission given to me to
visit the schools of Great Britain and Ireland and France in answer to the invi-
tation so generously tendered by the National Civic Federation, Mr. Alfred
Mosely of the Mosely Educational Commission of England, and Mr. J. Bruce
Ismay, Esq., president of the International Marine Company of England. I
wish also to express my sincere appreciation of the generous hospitality and
help so freely given me by Mr. Alfred Mosely and the many school officials
whom I interviewed.
Technical education has always been a subject in which I have taken a
deep interest, and believing that students, apprentices and journeymen who aim
at success in the industrial arts and in vocational pursuits need more than ever,
in these keenly competitive times, to possess a technical knowledge of their
calling, my investigations abroad were directed mainly along the lines of tech-
nical and industrial education.
While taking a deep interest in all things educational, I paid special at-
tention to this line of work and visited some of the most important technical
and industrial schools of Great Britain, Ireland and France. Without in the
least undervaluing the traditional classical studies for those who desire to enter
professional careers, these countries are awake to the fact that their schools
have for centuries been too much absorbed in the study of the dead languages
and the philosophic studies which train memory and reasoning only, but which
in our modern, complex industrial life fail altogether to give adequate discipline
to the eye and the hand, and to fit the student for skilled labor and for prac-
tical life.
The modern trend of events seem to indicate that th'e prophecy of Crown
Prince Frederick after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 will soon be realized.
He said: ''We have conquered on the field of battle in war, and we will con-
quer on the field of battle in commerce and the industries." Englishmen and
Frenchmen whom I met, everywhere admitted to me that the immense develop-
mnt and progress of technical education in Germany is, in large measure, re-
sponsible for the great power and prosperity of her commerce.
There is a serious conviction in both of these countries, but in England
especially, that the Crown Prince's prophecy is becoming a realized fact, and
that Germany will soon be the conquerer in the fields of commerce and industry.
With the example of Germany as a 'stimulus, and recognizing that her wonder-
ful advance in the Industrie- is to be traced to a very large extent to her tech-
nical training schools, Great Britain especially, is exerting every effort to create
and support an elaborate svstem of technical schools which shall be the means
of retaining her immense trade.
In France the development of art as applied to the industries has been
successfully taught in technical schools long before the establishment of the
present technical education system in England and Germany. In the higher
arts and crafts the products of French industrial taste and intelligence are the
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 1017
t of special training along the industrial art lines, and continue to
jji.iiuiuiji uieir supremacy in the markets of the world. It must be admitted by
all thinking persons that the nation having the greatest industrial average effi-
ciency of her workmen, along the lines of the common trades and industries,
is more certain to take its place in the front rank in its invasion of the world
of trade, and the governments of Germany, England and France realizing this
are putting forth every effort in support of their technical schools. This battle
for the conquest of the world's markets, though peaceful, is none the loss
M-vere, and is attracting the attention of the manufacturers, importers and
exporters of the United States. That England and France look upon the grow-
ing commercial and industrial world-influence of Germany with much concern
is admittedly due to her splendid system of industrial training. English royal
commissions on technical education have been appointed to make careful in-
vestigations. International Congresses oh technical education have been held
in Paris, and all have agreed that besides energy, brains and physique, the
young of these countries must be trained in the technical and industrial arts,
if they would remain in the forefront of the commercial and industrial world.
the
I
The battle, in the field of commerce and industries, as predicted by Crown
Prince Frederick in 1870 is actually on. The field of battle is the manufactury
and the counting-house. The battle is bloodless, but none the less intense, and
the captains of industry will win, whose industrial army is best equipped with
hnical knowledge. Confronted as is the United States, by the great ad-
nces being made in technical and industrial education in the leading countries
Europe, the question naturally arises, where will the United States stand
hen our immense natural resources shall begin to wane, and the fertility of
he soil will be less, as in the very nature of things our limit will in the near
future be attained, unless we teach the science of agriculture and industrialism?
1 shall quote an extract from a comparatively recent article in the "Monde
Economique" to illustrate the generally accepted French view of German prog-
ress: "The Germans have shown themselves during the last few years to be
on the way to become pastmasters in commercial matters. Their energy, patience,
activity, and spirit of enterprise are remarkable, and at the pace they are going
they will soon succeed in obtaining the commercial supremacy of the chief
markets of the world." The English Technical Education Board is also alive to
the necessity for immediate action. In one of its late reports the Board says:
"One of the subjects constantly kept in view by the Board has been the im-
portance of technical and commercial education. There is no direction than
which instruction is likely to be more effective in promoting the industry and
well-being of England. Indeed, there are indications that in the immediate
future our countrymen will have to encounter a competition far more acute than
anything they have yet had to grapple with." Besides the battle for supremacy
in the world's markets, it is coming to be realized the world over, that ap-
prentices are no longer formed in workshops, hence the disturbing prospect of
a scarcity of skilled workmen in the future. This state of things, if not shortly
remedied, will lead insensibly to the decadence of the natural industries where
expert skill is required.
The English and French technical and industrial schools do not pretend to
teach the trade of the carpenter, the mason, the plumber or any other particular
business. It must be conceded by all that there is no trade which does not
depend more or less upon scientific principles, and to teach what these are, and
to point out their practical application, is the essence of technical and industrial
education in the schools of these countries. For he who unites a thorough
knowledge of the scientific principles underlying his art, with that dexterity
which only actual practice in the workshop can give, will, of necessity, be the
most completely skilled, and probably the most successful artisan. I was agree-
ably surprised both in England and France to find that the, objects and purposes
1018 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
of a technical education are not in conflict with labor union principles, and
that the relation of each to the other is one of helpfulness and unity of purpose.
Many labor unions in the United States are opposed to developing apprentices
in their trades, because of the increase in the number of workers in that par-
ticular trade, and the consequent competition to hold up the scale of wage. A
technical education, however, in all the European schools that I visited, does
not mean the making of apprentices who shall enter the competitive ranks of
labor. It means the teaching of the various branches of science, which underlie
the majority of trades, and which are of practical application to mechanics in
the several trades, so that they may the better comprehend the reason for each
individual operation that passes through their hands, and have more certain
rules to follow, than the mere imitation of what they may have seen done by
another.
The labor unions of Great Britain and France recognize the beneficent
influence of the technical schools and are giving them hearty support by naming
representative labor leaders as advisory members of the Boards of Control of
these schools, and by giving cash prizes to be competed for by the students
in the various trades. In Scotland I found that the advisory members from the
labor unions gives to these schools their hearty support and spend much time
in consultation with the governing boards. They assist in examining candi-
dates for instructorships. They visit the schools and render to the students
much valuable assistance on graduation. A true spirit of fellowship and good
feeling is thus developed which has brought about the most cordial relations
between the technical schools and the labor unions.
In England and France it is clearly understood by the unions and the
school authorities that the expensive equipment of tools and appliances of tech-
nical schools shall not be used for anything approaching the apprenticeship
system, nor to give the young students who want to learn a trade the chance
of acquiring the practice of the trade, which is best acquired in the factory and
shop, where work is done on commercial lines. The instruction given in the
technical schools is intended to be supplementary to the dexterity and pro-
ficiency which only shop experience can give. In England and France the ex-
pensive equipment of the technical school is used only to show the students
how certain processes are performed, and to enable him to perform those pro-
cesses himself, with the especial object in view of giving him the why and
wherefore of the sciences underlying his trade, rather than the shop experience.
The students are taught how the tool is used; the principles and theories under-
lying its construction ; the errors to avoid, and the means of rectifying them
when they occur; the nature of the materials to be wrought and the means of dis-
tinguishing different qualities »of such material; and having learned all this, and
having acquired a certain degree of manipulative skill, the school does not require
him to constantly repeat the same process, in order to obtain the rapidity of execu-
tion that is expected of a professional workman; but instead, proceeds to the
explanation of the use of some other machine, and to the learning of some
other process, and the sciences and theories underlying it. The skilled labor
unionists know full well that the individual who is content to do things by
''rule of thumb" can never lift himself above the common level. ''There is
always room on top" is an old saying, but its truth is never better exemplified
than in the crafts. The worker who increases his technical knowledge is on
the road to promotion, and the higher pay which, promotion brings. The experts
in crafts owe their success to technical instruction. The advance of the foreign
worker in the industries is to be traced to technical training. He has recog-
nized its need and taken full advantage of it. For these reasons the trades
unions of England and France are friendly to the development of technical
schools. No conflict can possibly exist, when it is clearly understood that al-
though a technical school may be equipped almost as completely as a trade shop,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 1019
the equipment serves a very different purpose. It is used, as I have pointed out,
to enable the student to understand the why and wherefore of his trade, and
to use the appliances with care and scientific judgment. The trades unions of
these countries thoroughly understand the technical school to be one whose
object is the production of highest type of scientific workers, capable of hold-
ing the highest positions in the industrial world, and not simply to produce
competitive cheap labor, that will later enter into a fierce rivalry with the
unions. The unions understand that the machinery and tools employed in an
English and French technical school are used with different objects, and with
a different intention from those of the factory or commercial workshop. The
good will of the trades unions and their support means much to the technical
schools of Great Britain and France, and accounts in a large measure for the
impetus given to industrial education, and its present efficient standards.
Nor is it only the trades unions that approve of this great work, and
collaborate with the school authorities in favor of technical instruction; but
also the manufacturers, Chambers of Commerce, philanthropic and economic
associations. Each of these give to the cause the fullest measure of its strength
and influence, and assists in the creation of the new education that is to develop
and solve the great economic and social problems of these nations.
The time has come for the youth of the United States to rebel at the
modern tendency to make him a small, insignificant cog in the wheel of industry,
and to be thus converted into human machinery. The great captains of industry,
through the complex machinery which American genius has for the most part
invented, use our boys as mere tools to feed this machinery. They are not
expected to develop skill, and their lives are consecrated to dull routine and
the endless spinning, grinding and hammering of the modern workshop. Their
days and years are regulated by the factory whistles and the time clock; slaves
of the wheel, they have no opportunity of mastering a trade or handicraft. The
machinery does the work, and the man seldom understands the why and where-
fore of its movements. It is only too true that the apprentice who learns his
trade under our modern system, learns only a single part of it and usually
knows little or nothing of the several processes involved in the trade as a
whole. He has become an automatic working part of the "machine" on which
he is working. He knows nothing of its complicated construction. A workman
who is only capable of doing one thing and cannot readily turn to other branches
of the same trade, is practically unskilled and a prey to those who would lower
his wages. The man who does not understand the science of his trade, and
who feeds the machine without the fundamental knowledge of its functions, is
the modern ''Man at the Hoe" hopelessly bound to it, and the weak object of
attack in the constant war to lower his wages, and most apt to be thrown out
of employment in times of depression. Few men there are today engaged, for
example, in the shoemakers' trade, who could make a pair of shoes complete in
all its parts, for the reason that this trade, and many others likewise, is divided
into many different parts, and men work a lifetime at one part, not knowing
or understanding anything about the trade as a whole. I have been informed
that the shoe trade is divided into thirty different parts, and that few men
working at these separate parts are able to make a complete shoe. Such men
are hopelessly handicapped in the struggle for better wages and conditions,
because the captains of industry hold them as slaveworkers to one part of the
trade. The spirit and independence of such workmen are crushed, and they
are doomed never to rise above their present level, a condition repugnant to
every liberty-loving American who has a hope in his future uplift, and in the
rise and individual initiative of his sons and daughters. The technical and
scientific training received by the student in a particular trade, tends to dis-
courage others from being content with a simple knowledge of only one or
perhaps two branches of a trade. They are all stimulated to become all-around,
1020 SUPEKIXTKXDEXT OF SCHOOLS
efficient v.-orkers able to cope with the every varying conditions of the industry
in which they are engaged, demanding and receiving the maximum rate of
\vages and certain of steady employment. Such an education gives broad views
of life and develops men of natural power, capable of initiative, with the highest
ideals of work and citizenship, just as certainly as does a clerical and profes-
sional education. Education can have no higher objects.
My itinerary abroad included a visit to the schools of Dublin and Belfast
in Ireland, to the schools of Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland, to the schools
of Manchester, Birmingham and London, England, and to schools in Paris.
France. The history of public education in England is of comparatively recent
date. It was not until 1870 that a national system of education was established
in England. Not until that late date did the Government recognize the civil
obligation to enable every boy and girl to attain higher development. England
was the last of the great nations to establish a national system of free educa-
tion, and to understand Macauley's motto, ''The first business of the State is
the education of its citizens." In order to give a short historical retrospect
of the state of public education in England at the beginning of the 19th cen-
tury. I quote from ' 'A Short History of National Education in Great Britain
and Ireland," published in 1908 by Thos. Lloyd, Humberstone, B. Sc., (Lond.),
of the University of London Administrative Staff, the following most interesting
liistoric'al account :
''In 1807 the question of national education was fully discussed in con-
nection with Mr. Whitbread's Bill for providing parish schools. The bill passed
successfully through the House of Commons, but was rejected in the House of
Lords.
''The difficulties in the way of legislative action at that time were indeed
insuperable. Some of the most enlightened members of both Houses of Parlia-
ment thought that the project of giving education to the laboring classes would
be prejudicial to their morals and happiness, teaching them to despise their lot
in life. It may here be remarked that, in the minds of many Englishmen at
this time, the idea that popular education would cause discontent among the
poor was closely associated with a 'genuine, hearty, craven fear' of all political
change, induced by the appalling events of the French Revolution. Wise men
saw that the events of the French Revolution formed perhaps the strongest
justification for an attempt to raise the moral and intellectual standard of the
people: that a contented and intelligent people were more easily governed than
a brutal and ignorant populace. The view that popular education was one of
the most effective means of improving social conditions was indorsed by many
of the leading philosophers and social reformers of the time — by Adam Smith
in the 'V."ep.!th of Nations,' by Malthus in his 'Essay on Population,' by Robert
Owen, the founder of Socialism, and many others. The same message came
an- :>ss the English Channel from the French philosophers, across the Atlantic
from the founders of the American Constitution, and across the Tweed from
the parish schools of Scotland. But abstract reasoning and lessons drawn
from other countries had less effect than the object lessons of social conditions
in Kngiai d. The prevalence of crime called for some drastic remedy. As many
as forty people \\t-re sometimes hanged in one day; forgery and blackmailing
were rife: the highways outside London were infested with footpads, and the
police, we are told, were unable to give protection even to shopkeepers and
householders. The industrial revolution induced in the large towns a state of
social dis rder. due to overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, drunkenness, and
vice in a 1 its tV.rms, which could not fail to suggest to public-minded men the
imperative need for education. The plight of the children in mining and indus-
trial centi rs was indeed pitiable. Kmployed for long hours in exhausting labor
in mines and factories, they mvw up to a stunted manhood, without education
.)!• any other civilizing iniluence. The apprenticeship system, established ori<ri-
M'PKRiXTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 1021
nally for very different conditions, was exploited for the supply of child labor,
and a regular traffic in pauper children grew up, between the parish authorities
and the factory owners. Elizabeth Barrett Browning has given expression in
some poignant lines to the cry of these unhappy children :
" 'For oh ' say the children, " 'We are weary
And we cannot run or leap :
If we cared for any meadows, it were merely
To drop down in them and sleep.
'• 'For all day we drag our burden tiring
Through the cold, dark underground;
Or, all day, we drive the wheels of iron
In the factories, round and round.
•• Happily for England, the children's cry has not gone unheeded, but it was
not until the Education Act of 1870, introduced by Mr. Gladstone's Ministry,
that an efficient system of public elementary education was introduced."
In many English schools in addition to public moneys received from the
State, endowments have been given by philanthropic men, and in many cases
fees are charged to the pupils in order to aid in .the support of the schools.
This is especially the case of the secondary schools, many of which besides
receiving State aid are richly endowed, but still charge fees, giving away only
a few scholarships, on competition, to the children whose parents cannot afford
to pay for their education. I am of the opinion that no country can boast of
a national system of free education, which denies absolutely free secondary
•education to all who may desire it. Education in Great Britain and England
is free only in the elementary grades. It is true that certain bursaries or
special scholarships are used to defray the expenses of the unusually bright
children of the poor who seek secondary education, but the great majority of
those attending secondary schools are required to pay for their tuition.
While visiting a school in London I heard of the son of a poor man, who
paid the required fees rather than accept the free scholarship and endure among
big fellows the social caste difference. This boy was sent to a pay elementary
school, rather than to the free school, because of the social differences that
exist among those who attend free schools and pay schools. The father of this
boy made sacrifices in order to pay these fees, -with a view that his son should
move in a higher social plane. In the "pay school" the boy would meet and
form friendships with the sons of a more exclusive set. The baneful old English
"charity" school system was upon this father. The old charity schools provided
a sort of free education for the children of the poor, but compelled these chil-
dren to wear a special uniform which had the effect to degrade and produce in
them a subservient spirit. It also had a pauperizing effect on the parents. The
endowed schools, including the large schools at Eton, Harrow, Winchester and
Rugby, which have been given the incomprehensible misnomer of "public"
schools, form the core of England's secondary education. They do not seem to
have been intended for the children of the poor. They are "public" schools
only to those who can afford the price. There is, however, a strong tendency
developing among intelligent Englishmen to establish free public secondary
schools, where the children of rich and poor may attend without any class dis-
tinctions. If progress continues as it has since 1870, England may hope to
have a free, complete and efficient system of secondary education in the reason-
ably near future, where the children of rich and poor shall meet on the same
common ground, and all caste and social differences may be obliterated.
The educational system of England seems to me to lack unification, and
that co-ordination between the elementary schools, the high schools and the uni-
1022 SUPEEINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
versifies which is so manifest in the United States. In England there is no
uniform course of study for the elementary schools. It is a mere outline. Each
headmaster makes out the course for his own school according to the general
outline which has been prepared by the Board of Education of England. It is-
subject, however, to approval of the school inspector, who presides over the
district in which this school may be. The consequence is that there is no uni-
formity of work in the elementary schools of England and they form isolated
units instead of an integral part of the general school system. As an example
of this go-as-yo"u-please arrangement, I found one headmaster who was teach-
ing vertical writing under approval of the inspector, and another headmaster
who was 'an advocate of the slant system. In different schools I found different
text-books in the same subject.
EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.
Quoting again from "A Short History of National Education'' by Humber-
stone :
"The educational systems of Scotland and Ireland are entirely different
in origin and character from the English system. Scotland has always set an
example to England in her, zeal for education. Even before the Reformation
there was a system of parish schools in Scotland, and so early as 1696 an Act
was passed in the Scottish Parliament for the establishment of a system of
national education, under which the duty of providing schools was imposed
on the landowners. It is interesting to know that as early as 1807 the success
achieved by education in Scotland in raising the standard of civilization in that
century was put forward as one of the chief reasons for the establishment of
parish schools in England. In her secondary and technical schools and her four
universities (St. Andrews, founded in 1411; Glasgow, in 1450; Aberdeen, in
1498; Edinburgh, in 1582), Scotland has educational resources which are cer-
tainly relatively superior to those possessed by England.
"Education in Ireland has a sadder history. Ireland had the use of letters
long before England, and to Ireland, a trustworthy authority has said, England
chiefly owed her knowledge. But for reasons for which England, it is to be
feared, was to blame, Ireland was never able to profit by its start in the educa-
tional race. For centuries the work of education in Ireland was closely asso-
ciated with proselytising. Since 1831, when the Board of Commissioners of
National Education in Ireland was established, the educational system has been
more in consonance with the desires of the Irish people; but it is generally
admitted that the present system of elementary education in Ireland is in need
of reform. In recent years considerable progress has been made in the en-
couragement of scientific education in Irish schools by means of grants adminis-
tered by the Board of Argiculture and Technical Instruction. Belfast has
built a large and finely-equipped technical school of the be^st character. Dublin
University, founded in 1591, and the Royal University of Ireland, founded in
1880, are at present the only universities in Ireland; but a Bill for the estab-
lishment of two new universities (in Dublin and Belfast), and involving the
abolition of the Royal University of Ireland, has been submitted to Parliament,
and there is a good prospect of its becoming law in the near future.1'
In Scotland there is a carefully planned uniform course of study, adopted
by the Board of Education of the Scotch Educational Department, a body whose
functions are entirely distinct from those of the Board of Education of England
and Wales.
In Ireland the system of national education is controlled by a Board of
Commissioners. They are representative men who adhere to the policy of strict
impartiality in religious matters. The schools under this board are supported
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 1023
by state and local funds, and may be Roman Catholic, Protestant or mixed in
respect to religion. But in Ireland, as well as in Great Britain, the rights of
parents in religious matters are guarded by a "Conscience Clause'' in the
school regulations making the attendance at religious exercises optional with the
parents. The school programs are so arranged that no child is allowed to
attend a religious exercise of a denomination other than his own, except upon
the written request of the parent.
The schools of the Christian Brothers form a large and important part of
Ireland's elementary education. These schools are both numerous and justly
flourishing. Their system of education where the development of character
goes strongly hand in hand with the training of the minds has taken a deep
hold upon the people and they number among their former pupils some of the
most influential men in every city and large town in Ireland. At the competitive
examinations given by the commissioners of national education in Ireland last
September, the largest number of distinctions and prizes were won by the
Christian Brothers' schools. Fully one thousand prizes of varying degrees of
value Avere awarded to the successful students of the eighty-five schools and
colleges which took part in the competition. Twenty-eight of those schools are
under the control of the Christian Brothers, and the highest places on the list
and the larger share of the prizes were taken by the Christian Brothers' schools.
The ''Christian" schools throughout Ireland literally swept the boards in ex-
perimental science, which gives proof that the work in these schools is far in
advance of that done in the other schools. The North Richmond Street school in
Dublin, under the direction of the Christian Brothers, beat the record of every
other school in the country this year, securing first place in all Ireland with
eighty-three distinctions.
In Ireland, technical instruction is controlled by "The Department of
Agriculture and Technical Instruction," which has an advisory board of tech-
nical instruction. The department aims at the co-ordination of its work with
that of other educational authorities. Throughout Ireland technical instruction
is being organized in the various counties, and thousands of students attend
the technical schools. The teaching of Irish textile industries is a natural in-
stance of the attempt that is being made to make Ireland the exclusive home
of this industry. The problem of educational administration in Ireland, as I
saw it, shows that there is not a comprehensive system of public education as
in this country. Reform of the system is needed so that efficient direction an^L
co-ordination between the schools may bring about a unified purpose. The
Board of National Education and the Board of Technical Education with close
co-operation will undoubtedly reach this result in the near future.
Our perfectly articulated California system of free education from kinder-
garten to university, entirely supported from public funds, adapted as it is to
produce equality in citizenship and equality in opportunity, when given with
due regard to the development of character, obliterates all snobbish social rela-
tions and Avails of caste all too frequently evident in Great Britain and Ireland.
The American democratic ideal in absolutely free higher education for all, with-
out any class distinctions based on "fees" or other snobbish forms or previous
conditions of servitude in the English social scale, is not yet accomplished in
Gi-eat Britain and Ireland. Progressive men inr these countries are stimulating
the popular demand to develop and foster this ideal in secondary education, for
Without it. education can never reach the high plain of usefulness to all the
people, Avhich it has attained in the United States.
The entire social school structure of England is so hidebound, stratified and
even fossilized into classes that the children of the poor are hopelessly down
deep in the loAvest strata of English society without the slightest hope and ap-
parently Avithout even ambition to break into the upper crust.
10:24 sri'l-IKLNTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
In America .there is a total absence of formalities required in the manner
of visiting schools. Everywhere the visitor is welcome whether he be a citizen
or a stranger, but in Europe bundles of official red-tape have to be cut before
one is permitted to visit the schools. Special letters of identification and recom-
mendation are required. The visitor is not permitted to enter the school with-
out first having obtained special permission from some high official in the office
of the administration. This is another refreshing evidence that our splendid
free school system in America is founded on the broadest principles of democracy,
for freedom to visit and criticise the work of our free public schools is the
acknowledged prerogative of every American citizen and visitor from any land.
Our American system of encouraging inquiry, training to think and bring-
ing out self-expression on the part of our pupils in elementary schools, producing
as it does mental alertness and quickness of mind, is vastly superior to the Eng-
lish method, which does not countenance the idea of a pupil asking questions.
Such freedom is considered familiarity. The English pupil is made to feel his sub
ordinate position, and not treated as an intellectual equal, as in our system.
The consequence is that the children in England seem to take less interest in
their studies than in our country.
A well-organized, graded and co-ordinated system of public education abso-
lutely free and open to all from infancy to manhood, from kindergarten to uni-
versity, is woefully inadequate, incomplete and expensive, and England must
remedy this greatest of all defects in her educational system if the traditional
differences in social positions are ever to be obliterated and the now practically
submerged lower classes are ever to rise by means of their educational strength
and feel themselves the intellectual equals of the upper classes.
If I have shown some of the faults and weaknesses of the elementary
schools. I desire with equal fairness and frankness to sound the praise of the
magnificent English technical schools, their equipment, and their effect upon
the various trades of the United Kingdom. There is also virtue in English
conservatism as against our tendency to carry experimentation too far in sub-
jects which in a short while are declared to be useless fads. Such, for example,
the sudden and irresistible tidal wave which brought the now almost entirely
discarded system of vertical penmanship. Leading public men and educators
everywhere in England realize the close connection between the welfare of the
country and education, and that to secure the prosperity of the State, the system
(ft education must be made as good, as complete and far-reaching and up-to-date
as possible. They know that the expenditure of money on education is the
wisest investment the nation can make, provided the expenditure is carefully
directed and applied, as is the rule in the United States. It is acknowledged
everywhere in England and France, that in the United States there is a justified
belief in the value of education, and a universal zeal in promoting it. They
admit that there is a deeper rooted sympathy in the hearts and minds of tin-
American people, that national prosperity, and national safety and freedom.
depend upon an educated people.
In the countries visited by me, I found that the most important principle
of our democratic institutions, viz: equal opportunities for all, through education
from kindergarten to university and through equal rights before the law, giving
to the young of our country the opportunity to make the most of himself (by
rai ;ing himself to any social level to which he may aspire), through his char-
acter, capacity, and industry, does not exist, and is not even understood by the
ma *ses of Europe. The stratified conditions in which the classes in the social
scale are so clearly defined and hopelessly fixed for the terms of their natural
lives, ;:nd the apparent lack of ambition of the so-called ''lower classes" to
look ab ive them, gave me the impression that class distinctions, based on wealth
or line:ige. govern the people and control their destinies.

In England I was impressed with the general feeling of unrest that I found
in some of the large manufacturing centers, such as Manchester and Birming-
ham. While I was in Manchester there were bread riots, due to the great
''problem of the unemployed," which for some years back has been growing
more acute. In my opinion the problem of the unemployed is, to a very large
extent, the problem of the unskilled. The men who marched in the streets
whom I saw charged upon by the mounted police, were not skilled artisans,
they were the unskilled men who fed machines in the mills, and who had become
a part of those machines, so that when the large manufacturers declared a
lockout in order to reduce their wages, these men were confronted with the
alternative of either accepting the wages offered, or of finding employment in
some other industry. My observations convinced me that the problem of the
unemployed is undoubtedly the result of two main causes: the failure and almost
complete disappearance of the apprenticeship system, and the consequent im-
possibility of finding work for such a large army of unskilled workers in the
trades. The problem is clearly understood by the educational authorities of
England, and day and evening technical and industrial trade schools are being
fostered to meet it. There is no question but that the superior and most suc-
cessful nation yet to be in the world's history, will be the one whose workmen
are the most energetic, intelligent and industrious, highly skilled in their voca-
tions and whose spirit of initiative is most developed. We in the United States,
and especially in California, should therefore direct all our energy along these
lines if we would maintain ourselves in the front rank. In the leading coun-
tries of Europe a wonderful advance is being made in the development of skilled
and scientific workmen through technical schools, and we must not forget that
to remain stationary in such a race is really to go backwards. The mission of
our future technical and industrial schools should be to give a solid preparation
for the battle of life ; to form draftsmen, designers, foremen in the shops, archi-
tects, engineers, skilled artisans; in a word, men well armed for the rough
combat of life, ready to defend any of our threatened industries in the industrial
and commercial war that is going on around us all the time in our modern
complex life. We must develop men highly skilled in all the arts and crafts,
who will give to the United States the industrial rank which it should hold
among the great nations.
Among the schools which I visited, and from which I formed my impres-
sions, was the Belfast Municipal Technical Institute. This is an immense insti-
tution presided over by Mr. Francis C. Forth, a gentleman of unusual executive
ability. There are 5,000 students attending this school; about 500 of these
attend in the day and 4,500 in the evening. The trade subjects are taught only
to those who work at the trade. A boy must be not less than 12 years of age
and have passed the sixth standard of the National schools before being ad-
mitted. The principal object of the trade classes of this school is to provide
a specialized training for boys who are intended for industrial occupations.
While due regard is paid to the subjects of a general education, special atten-
tion is devoted to imparting a sound training in the elements of science, and
in science as applied to local arts and manufactures such as mechanical engineer-
ing, naval architecture, the building trades and the textile industries. The
complete course covers three years, and includes, besides theoretical instruction,
practical work in the laboratories, the workshops and the drawing school.
Boys who take the complete course are in a position to enter on their
life work in the mill, factory, or workshop and soon outstrip the lads who have
not had these advantages. These classes are intended chiefly for apprentices
who wish to obtain a thoi'ough grasp of all the fundamentals of their own and
allied trades. It is not an object of these classes to teach a trade, but the
aim is to make the progress of the apprentice more rapid, and to give him a
SUPERIXTEXDEXT OF SCHOOLS
broader view of the trade with which he is associated and to enable him to
acquire a familiarity with trades closely allied to his own.
I visited classes in patternmakers' work, moulders' work, boilermakers'
work, machine shop practice, marine engineering for sea-going engineers, motor-
car construction, naval architecture, electrical engineering, telephone, tele-
graphy, electric wiring and fitting, building trades classes, such as sanitary
engineering and practical plumbers' classes, cabinet making, building construe
tion, practical painting and decoration classes, the practical classes in linen
weaving and the textile industries, cotton and Hnen bleaching and dyeing,
etc., etc.
Fees are charged in this school varying from one pound to twelve pounds
per annum, but a number of scholarships covering tuition and the necessary
books and instruments are awarded to those pupils who are poor but deserving
and who have passed a competitive examination.
The daily sessions in this school are of six hours duration.
There is, besides a trade school, a technical course for older students. It
provides a sound training in the science and technology of mechanical engineer-
ing, electrical engineering, the textile industries and pure and applied chem-
istry. The students in this course aim at filling positions of responsibility, such
as mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, naval architects, spinners, manu-
facturers, manufacturing chemists, or other industrial occupations. All classes
of Irish society attend this school. Young men and young women who come
in automobiles are seated along side of poor girls who come with shawls on
their heads. This great school has a distinct social leveling tendency. The
magnet that draws all these people together is the knowledge that a practical
education that will train the hand and eye as well as the brain can be ob-
tained at reasonable cost.
In the evening school I visited the classes in housewifery. There were
present in the class I visited about 30 young women ranging from 18 to 30
years of age. It was a most interesting sight. Some were cooking on coal and
gas ranges making soups, roasts, bread, etc. Others were washing and ironing:
others were learning to sew and darn and mend. Some were doing dressmaking:
others were learning the chemistry of the kitchen, the use of caustics, the making
of soap, dyeing fabrics, etc. The students are permitted to purchase excellent
roasts that are cooked in the class. I was informed that many of these students
were young married women whose education in the homely house duties had
been neglected as single girls, and who attended these classes so as to make
their homes more pleasant and to learn housewifery economy.
The demand for a bread and butter education would be just as great in
San Francisco if we would only establish a school like the Belfast school. The
proof is shown by the way the correspondence schools of the East are thriving.
and all students have to pay for this education. In San Francisco many
students are paying for such a correspondence education simply because San
Francisco has not established anything of the kind. If San Francisco can only
awake to the necessity for action, and compare her supineness in this matt in-
to the progressiveness of Belfast, Ireland, we will be doing something that will
forever benefit our children and our children's children. The splendid Belfast
school which I have just described cost 150,000 pounds and the equipment cost
50,000 pounds in addition, a total of a million dollars for Belfast, a city of
350,000 people.
The equipment was very complete and machines and lathes of every de-
scription were in the shops. I noted with pleasure that there were in the
shops machines of American manufacture, such as the excellent Brown & Shnrj>
milling machine No. 12, made in Providence, R. I., and a No. 7 lathe of the
Hendey Machine Co. of Torrington, Conn.

In Glasgow, Scotland, I visited several interesting schools, notably the
Glasgow Athenaeum Commercial College, Mr. John Lauder, Supt. ; the Allan
Glen's Technical school, of which Dr. John G. Kerr is the headmaster; also
the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College, Mr. Herbert F. Stockdale,
director.
The Glasgow Athenaeum Commercial College, besides giving a thorough
course in bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, English, French, German, short-
hand and typewriting, also has special classes to teach bank clerks, railroad
clerks, insurance clerks and shipping clerks. There is also a specially strong
department of music in this school. In the evening school I heard a large and
splendid orchestra and talented vocalists, all pupils of this school, rehearsing
with marked ability Hayden's Oratorio of the Creation. It is the aim of Allan
Glenn's Technical school to combine the essential elements of a liberal educa-
tion with a thorough training in science. It contains a primary and secondary
department and emphasizes mechanics, physics, chemistry, freehand, geometrical,
mechanical, and architectural drawing, mechanical and electric engineering and
a large amount of workshop practice. In this school stress is laid on scientific
studies.
In the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College, I found a school
of even greater importance than the Belfast school. The students number over
5,000 in the evening and more than 600 in the day classes. The building is a
large modern and imposing one of brown stone. Large elevators are provided
for the pupils. The heating and ventilating system is a modern plenum system
on the same plan as those placed in our new schools. This great school was
built and equipped at a cost of 300,000 pounds. Private subscriptions fur-
nished 50,000 pounds, the National Government furnished 50,000 pounds, and
the city of Glasgow furnished 200,000 pounds. The equipment of the school
cost over 60,000 pounds. The school was completed in 1905. In one large room
I saw scientific apparatus and machines for hydraulic testing which the director
told me cost 8,000 pounds. Every department of this great school has been
as generously equipped as the hydraulic testing room. I saw everywhere at
work earnest, busy students who were learning the why and wherefore, and
delving into the science underlying their trades. Most of th,e students were
either apprentices or full-fledged workers in the various trades. I visited the
bootmakers, the tailors, the plumbers, the machinists, the sheet metal classes,
the bakers and confectioners, the weaving, dyeing and bleaching classes, motor
car engineering, naval architecture, the electric engineering classes. To illus-
trate the spirit of the people of Glasgow and their interest in technical educa-
tion, I was informed that the master bakers and the Bakers' Union had recently,
in co-operation, presented to the school a complete outfit of tools, ovens and
equipment which cost 4,000 pounds. One of the donors to the fund was a
large manufacturer of bakery machinery. Instruction was being given in all
branches of the trade from the kneading of dough to the most complex cake
ornamentation. This co-operation between employers and employees extends
to all the trades. The unions of the various crafts assist the school and recog-
nize it as a friend. On my way to the school I saw in the windows of a union
paint shop, signs advertising and illustrating the work done by the classes
for painters and decorators and inviting all apprentices to join them. The
impression which one receives after visiting this school is, that through unity
of action and a sensible understanding of the purposes of the school on the
part of manufacturers and workmen, captains of industry and leaders in the
labor union movement, perfect harmony prevails in the management of the
school. The school is managed through a board of governors composed of lead-
ing men of the city, and the general public and the municipality give to this
school all the support, both moral and financial, that its excellent work entitles
it to. In Edinborough I visited the Heriot-Watt Technical College and the
1028 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
George Heriot Technical School. This latter is in a very old building, and
while the architecture is pleasing from the exterior its interior is poorly ar-
ranged. No thought was given to scientific lighting, heating and ventilating.
The hallways were all too narrow and the main doors opened inwardly. A
panic in such a school would result disastrously. The Heriot-Watt College has
the advantage of a magnificent and very complete collection of working models
of steam engines and other complicated machinery in the Edinburgh Museum.
Boys enter the George Heriot school at 8 and the average age of graduation
is 17. It covers the field of technical and industrial education. There is in
this school a fine white tiled swimming tank which holds 25,000 gallons of
water heated by steam. It is complete and has diving spring boards, rings,
trapese slides, etc. The water is heated by steam. There are two regular in-
structors of swimming and every boy in the school is compelled to learn. The
evening technical schools of Edinburgh require the payment of a fee for tuition.
but the fee is returned at the end of the year to students who make 80% of
attendance for the year. The Board of Education sends out printed circulars
to employers in the various trades and professions and invite them to inform
their employees that classes are to be in session at which instruction in the
trade will be given. Large posters are pasted in various parts of the city
advertising the school and the courses of instruction. This advertising of the
technical schools is done in all the cities of Ireland, Scotland, England and
France. Every possible method of advertising the work of the school is used.
There are four schools that have large swimming tanks. These schools are
used as centers to teach swimming, which is obligatory except where a child
is excused for good reason. These four swimming tanks not being sufficient.
the municipal corporation baths are used and the Board of Education pays one
cent per pupil admission.
From Edinburgh I proceeded to Manchester to attend the Education Con-
ference of the teachers of the United Kingdom. The subject under discussion
was "The Feeding of the Children of the Poor." Relating their personal ex-
periences some of the teachers told sad tales of hungry children forced to
school under the compulsory education law. One teacher said he had gazed
on the pitiable spectacle of nearly 60 children, with sunken eyes and quivering
lips and few would apply for a free meal. Another teacher told of knowing
mothers who remained at home without food that their children might have
it and attend school. The result of the conference was that inasmuch as it
was impossible to educate a starving child an appeal should be made to the
government to extend the system of providing meals for hungry children in
premises other than the school. The discussion developed that the teachers
had always stood between the children of the unemployed and starvation, and
it was resolved to demand the immediate approval of the "Provision of Meals
Act," under which the feeding of poor children would be regarded as an Act
of right and due without humiliation, rather than as a charity.
I visited the municipal school of technology and municipal school of art
in Manchester. Here again I was struck with the importance of technical edu-
cation. Another great technical school of five thousand students in the evening
and five hundred in the day. The value of the structure and equipment amount-
to upwards of three hundred thousand pounds. The school accommodates the
mechanical, electrical and sanitary engineering industries: the chemical and
textile industries; architecture and all of the building trades, printing and
allied trades. The building is modern and the equipment has been generously
provided. On each floor (there are six stories covering sixty-five hundred
square yards ol' ground) and in the machine shops, I noticed cabinets containing
a book on First Aid to the Injured, and bottles of medicines, such as I'
IJalsam Antiseptic Wash for cuts, bruises, dressing for burns and scalds, spirits
of sal volatile, picric acid, boric ointment, carbolic wool, bandages, lint, strap-

piim1. :i little alass and a bottle of brandy. The cabinet is of glass, and the key
is in a small case next to it to be used only when needed, by breaking the
glass. A red cross is painted over the glass case. In this school I saw the
largest plumbing and sanitary workshop that I have seen in my travels. The
students were all young plumbers' apprentices and being given instruction in
the theory and construction of gas and water meters. In the evening classes,
the architectural drawing rooms have an excellant arrangement that reflects
the electric light on the white ceiling. This softens and diffuses the light more
evenly through the rooms. I visited classes in electric wiring, electric testing
instrument laboratory and electro chemical engineering. I saw the students at
work at the electro furnaces making calcium carbide. I visited classes in do-
mestic science, dressmaking, millinery and plain needle work. The fee charged
in each of these subjects was five guineas for the term. It would take a volume
to describe in detail the work done in these schools. Besides a large library,
there is also a restaurant and kitchen for the benefit of the students and espe-
cially for the students of the evening classes who cannot go to their homes for
their dinner and return to school in time. The school is another instance of an
immense workshop in all its varied industries.
The school is so large and important and covers instruction in such a large
field in the mechanical industries that to avoid accidents notices like the follow-
ing art' posted on each floor and in the shops and laboratories:
THE MUNICIPAL SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY,
MANCHESTER.
SPECIAL NOTICE TO STUDENTS.
Students in laboratories and workshops are warned to exercise the utmost
care in the use of machines and appliances and materials, and in the use of
the electric current or other motive power. All reasonable precautions are
taken by the school committee, but it will not hold itself responsible for dam-
ages oi' injxiry to students caused by their own carelessness and disregard of
the directions issued to them.

From Manchester I went to Birmingham, where I visited the Municipal
Technical School on Suffolk street. Mr. W. E. Sumpner, the principal, showed
me around and explained the work of his school. This is also another such
school as I have just described, and it would be tiresome repetition to go into
details. Suffice it that in Birmingham, Liverpool and London I found that
they were as far in advance of us here in California in the matter of scientific
and industrial education as it is possible to conceive. In London I visited the
Central School of Arts and Crafts, the Borough Polytechnic school, the South
Lambeih Road school, the Ponton Road Day Industrial school, the East London
Industrial school, Brookbank Road, Lewisham, the William Street school, and
the educational exhibit at the Franco-British Exposition. I also attended the
conference of the International Moral Education Congress at the University
of London.
EDUCATION IN FRANCE.
Public education in France is divided into three parts. First, primary
instruction patronized by the great majority of French children. To the de-
partment of primary instruction belongs the kindergarten, the elementary
primary schools, and the superior primary. Second, the department of secondary
education TO which belong the lycees or state classical colleges and the ''College
1030 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Communal1' equivalent to our classical high schools, and third, the department
of superior instruction to which belong the university and those special schools
of high order, which are under the Minister of Education of France. These
latter include the College of France, the Museum of Natural History, the prac-
tical school of high studies "Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes,'1 the Conserva-
toire des Arts et Metiers, and the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines. Paris
is the seat of these special schools and also of the principal university.
There are separate schools for boys and for girls; co-education is un-
known in France or England, except in the case of kindergartens. There is a
strong antagonism toward co-education in Europe. The general opinion is that
bad in itself it is infinitely worse when the teachers are mostly women, as in
the United States. In both England and France commiseration was expressed
on many occasions that women should predominate over the men in education
and the fear was freely expressed that combined with co-education it would
result in developing effeminate men, lacking in virility with a sexless tone of
thought.
No one in France is permitted to teach in any capacity in a public school
unless provided with a state certificate. The state pays a fixed annual salary
ranging for full teachers in the elementary primaries from $200 to $400 for
men and for women from $200 to $300. In addition to the salary, however,
every teacher is provided with a residence or with a money equivalent for the
same.
Primary teachers may be retired upon a pension after reaching sixty years
of age if they have been in the service thirty years. The minimum pension is,
for men $120 a year, and for women $100. The total state appropriation
amounts to more than $50,000,000, of which over $40,000,000 are expended
for primary education. To this sum is added the amounts received from local
taxes in the cities and communes of France. In addition to the schools for
general education under the control of the Minister of Public Instruction there
are many special schools, technical, agricultural, commercial and art, which,
with the numerous municipal technical schools, complete the public provision
for education in France. The state, however, assumes no monopoly of education
and private institutions of all conditions exist side by side with the public
institutions. Primary education is absolutely free in France. Secondary educa-
tion is patronized chiefly by the children of the wealthy classes, but it is ac-
cessible to those children who, however poor are meritorious. The poor chil-
dren obtain admission to these institutions of secondary education on com-
petitive examination and their expenses are paid by endowments.
There is a compulsory education law compelling all the children of France
to attend school until they shall have attained the age of 13 years, or they may
leave school earlier if they have received a certificate of graduation from the
primary schools, and provision is made to furnish food and even clothing to
the children of worthy poor. I was informed by the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion that in 1854 statistics showed that 31.6% of the men and 47.4% of the
women were illiterate; in 1870 the figures were 25% of illiterates for the men
and 37.7% for the women, but in 1898, due to the free public education in the
primary schools and to the great compulsory laws and interest taken in educa-
tion generally in France, these figures fall to 4.7% of illiterates for men and
7.2% for the women.
Secondary education is of a high order both for boys and for girls, espe-
cially in technical education in the arts. As in England so in France, since
1870 a great forward movement has taken place in free public education. In
Paris I was informed that in many cities of France new buildings have been
constructed richly endowed and equipped with all modern appliances.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 1031
Each primary school is placed under the patronage of an appointed school
commission. This commission watches over the welfare of the children of the
poor, gives shoes to those who have none, warm clothes in winter and a good
lunch at mid-day. The children of the poor who graduate from the ''Ecole
Primaire Superieure" schools equivalent to our high school are given an op-
portunity through a competitive examination to enter higher institutions of
learning, however distant these higher schools may be situated from the city which
they graduated. All expenses of maintenance and of transportation are paid
out of bursaries or endowments established for that purpose. The meritorious
child of the peasant is thereby given the advantages of a higher education at
public expense. To be admitted into an "Ecole Primaire Superieure" a pupil
must have reached the age of 12 years and must have obtained his certificate
of primary studies or pass an examination showing equivalent attainments,
which examination is not open to candidates below 13 years of age. Promotions
from class to class are made upon the basis of a right examination and pupils
who fail in the same must either leave the school or stay another year in the
division in which they have been studying.
Very liberal provisions have been made to provide normal schools in which
teachers are trained. Two normal schools exist in every department of France,
one for men and one for women.
The compulsory period of primary education extends from the sixth to the
thirteenth year, but a child who passes the examination for the certificate of
primary studies is exempt from the obligation to attend school. Candidates
may be admitted to this examination at eleven years of age, and a large pro-
portion of the children seek their certificates at that early age. The majority
of children leave school at an earlier age than thirteen. The schools begin at
8 in the morning and close at 6 p. m.
Manual training and technical education in all the primary schools holds
a strong place in the curriculum. The French system of industrial schools is
highly developed. Machinery models, laboratories and general equipment are of
the highest order and have been lavishly supplied to these schools in large
quantities. The equipment and school plant of the "Central School of Art and
Manufactures" iy Paris cost over $2,000,000. Special trade schools exist in
which shoemaking, carriage-making, furniture-making, and metal working are
taught, together with practical schools of commerce and industry in all of which
tuition is free. The instruction is both theoretical and practical.
In the "Boulle Municipal School'1 of Paris, which I visited, I saw students
at work in cabinet-making and making real furniture of most beautiful designs
instead of the small sloyd models made in our schools. They were learning
upholstering, woodcarvin<?, sculpture, application of art to bronzes, goldsmith's
work, jewelry, and iron work. In this school the application of arts and sciences
to the furniture industry predominates. It was founded in 1886 by the City
of ' Paris with the object of creating skilled workmen and educate artisans
capable of maintaining the traditions of taste, and the superiority of the genu-
inely partisian industries in the production of artistic designs in furniture. It
is essentially a trades school. The students pass through a real apprenticeship
and at the same time receive a scientific high school education appropriate to
the profession they have chosen. The boys all wear jumpers and overalls, and
the school looks like a busy factory. The pupils must be not less than thirteen
years nor more than sixteen years of age to enter. In the course, instruction
is given in industrial economy, industrial drawing and geometry, lectures on
the history of art, art designing, clay modeling and water color painting. In
manual training, instruction is given in moulding in sand, inlaying, black-
smithing, wood turning, joinery, upholstery and jewelry work. The pupils are
required to visit manufacturing establishments a-nd Avork under the guidance
of the teachers. At the noon hour a lunch is prepared for the pupils. It was
1032 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
an interesting sight to see these two hundred and ninety-two boys seated at
tables enjoying a fine meal table d'hote style. On the day of my visit to the
"Ecole Boulle," I was invited by the director to partake of the lunch that was
prepared for the pupils. It was an excellent, warm lunch and consisted of mac-
caroni and cheese, a veal roast and sardines in oil. The pupils pay for this
excellent meal the sum of ten cents. Women cooks and waiters attend the
boys. To develop a spirit of camaraderie all the students must partake of the
same food. They are not permitted to bring their own lunches or any extras.
At the end of the year the balance which accumulates is used by the pupils
for the purchase of a gift of some kind for the school. The annual expense of
this school is two hundred and fifty thousand francs. Everything is furnished
free to the two hundred and ninety-two students.
I also visited the "Bernard Palissy'' school, whose chief purpose is the
application of art to the industries. The object of the school is to develop
workmen of artistic taste, skilled in the application of art to the industries such
as ceramics, decorative and practical sculpture, drawing and designs on cloths,
or wall paper, and decorative painting. Instruction is absolutely free in this
school. In addition to the practical application of the arts, instruction is given
in free-hand drawing, linear and perspective drawing, modeling, comparative
anatomy, lectures on the history of art, and decorative compositions.
The "Germain-Pillon1 ' School of Design and Modeling, as applied to the
industries is under the direction of Mons. John Labusquiere, who is also the
director of the Bernard-Palissey school. The City of Paris has voted 1,000,000
francs for a new building which will house both of these schools. They are
supported entirely by municipal funds. Pupils are admitted to this school only
on a competitive examination which is held in June of each year. The school
aims to develop original and capable art workers with the ability to create
original designs as well as to reproduce the designs of others. Drawing is here
taught not alone from the viewpoint of the trades, but also from the viewpoint
of the decorative arts. Strong efforts are made in this school to develop the
artistic sense in drawing, which shall give originality to industrial products.
Its graduates are skilled artisans in such art industries as ceramics, wood-
carving, marble and other stone carving, textiles and wall-paper designing and
decorative painting. Designing and modeling are given from plaster casts and
living models; water-colors, from plants, living models and the many objects
employed in the industries. Modeling is given through practical exercises.
Practical and applied geometry, industrial drawing, architectural drawing and
the theory of shadows and perspective are taught. Lectures on the practical
setting up of furniture in its relation to the colors involved and the taste of
arrangement. As the director, Mons Labusquiere, said to me, ''II ne faut pas
force' les eleves de voir comme nous voyons ni de pense' comme nous pensons.''
"We must not force our students to see as we see nor to think as we think."
To the class he said, "Do not imitate; find your own way; be yourselves. This
struck me as the keynote of the splendid work under the direction of this able
principal. Copies or imitations of the works of others are never tolerated in
this school. Originality in the conception of work was his thought. The ideal
of this school is the development of the creative faculties. "We give them
general outlines," he said, "and let them finish in their own way and according
to their own conception. We want our boys to develop initiative, no artificial
method of obtaining results is permitted, such as the use of mirrors, as is often
seen in other schools. The drawings must be conceived and originate in the
brains of the boys and composed in that way only." The "Germain-Pillon"
school emphasizes education in the decorative arts. All of the materials used
in the school, such as wood, stone, paints, plaster, etc.. etc., are supplied svatuit-
ously by the city.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 1033
The manual training department of ''L'Ecole Arago, " an ecole primaire
superiere which I visited, consisted of the screw propeller made from pieces of
wood, models of an engine head and cylinder and other practical applications
of manual training. The designs of artistic iron work were also very meritorious.
In this school, as in those previously alluded to, drawing in all its branches and
particularly original work in architectural drawing is emphasized. The "Ecole
Arago,'' which is a regular ecole primaire superieure, is really equivalent to
a four years' American high school with scientific studies and where only
modern languages are taught. It is a free public school, having also a prepara-
tory department of four years equivalent to the four years' of grammar grades.
The daily sessions are from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m., with four recesses of ten min-
utes each. It is a combination grammar and high school, four years being de-
voted to each department. Professor G. Hugnot, the surveillant general, told
me that the famous architect, Bernard, who prepared the plans for the University
of California, is a graduate of this school, although he finished his studies at
the Beaus Arts.
The ''Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers" is both an industrial
museum and a school of industrial arts and science. It contains mechanical,
physical and chemical laboratories. The museum contains precious and rare
collections of scientific instruments, models of machines and objects of art. All
the arts and sciences applied to the industries are largely represented. Physical
and mechanical, weights and measures, geometry, geodesy, topography, as-
tronomy, architecture and constructions, hygiene, agriculture, transportation
and railroads, mining, metallurgy, light and heat, chemistry, glass, porcelains,
textiles, printing, photography, etc. The library contains a rich collection
of works relating to the sciences, arts, agriculture and the industries. It con-
tains more than 40,000 volumes and over 2,000 prints.
There are 22 chairs occupied by men of the greatest renown in France.
Fifteen chairs are devoted to the teaching of the applied sciences to the arts,
and the applied arts to the trades. The remainder of the chairs are devoted
to political and industrial economy, social economy, commerce, industrial hygiene
and the prevention of accidents in the industries. The rapid transformations
that are taking place in the industries is actively watched and the most recent
inventions are discussed. All this work is made practical.
This magnificent institution is attended by nearly 2,000 students.
The technical and industrial trade schools of France are under govern-
-mental control, well developed and comprehensive in character. There are of
course many private and semi-private organizations. The government con-
trolled schools furnish a broad, fundamental training in scientific and technical
work which prepares the pupil for the battle of life far more practically than
the classical academic -education can do. There are over 5,000 technical schools
in France. They represent the entire gamut of the industries and the arts,
sciences and agriculture.
What particularly distinguishes French technical industrial education is not
only the splendid organization of the courses of study in the technical schools,
but the variety of types of educational institutions adapted as far as possible
to the requirements and necessities of local needs.
The evening industrial schools also act as ties between the apprentices and
the employers which unite the interests of both and conduce toward the har-
mony of the whole labor problem.
Such institutions as I have just 'described from personal visits are the
glory of the country that possesses them. These splendid technical institutions,
the great museums, and schools of applied arts are the inspiration from which
French artisans, both men and women, derive their keen sense of the beautiful,
and develop that delicacy of touch which they apply with their natural artistic
instinct in the pure realms of decorative design and which compel the admira-
1()M4 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
tion of the world of modern fashion. This kind of education brings to France
a never ceasing stream of the world's gold in return for what? A touch of art
more skillfully executed, on account of their training, than by the artisans of
:my other country in the world. Does industrial and technical education pay ?
I say it does. For when our country shall become, as in the course of time it
must, as poor in natural resources as the countries of Europe, when our forests
shiill have been cut away, our coal mines exhausted; when our land shall become
exhausted through our present wasteful methods of agriculture, and refuse to
yield, then will we become as China and India, a starving unproductive race,
and our entire social structure degenerate to their level, unless we heed the
advice of our scientists and the cry of our great thinkers to protect our great
natural resources and conserve them for our posterity by establishing technical
and industrial education throughout the land that will give to our people
the skill and intelligence to protect these resources and create markets for
the work of our artisans because of their superior excellence. Our complex and
ever changing industrial conditions demand of our youth that they perfect
themselves in technical education. The rapid discoveries and inventions are
daily throwing men out of one employment into another. These rapid changes
require men of skill, men who understand the fundamental sciences that underlie
all physical inventions.
Only through technical education can the problems of the future generations
be solved, developing as it does skillful and capable workmen and able foremen
and managers who form the elite of the working population.
The sooner we realize the personal advantages for our children and posterity
and the incalculable advantages that technical education will give to our country
as a whole in the international contest for supremacy in industry, in commerce,
and in agriculture, the sooner will we begin a forward movement which will
place our nation at the head of the column.
I wish this report to be taken merely as a summary of the most important
things observed by me in connection with technical education abroad. I have
endeavored to plainly state the facts and relate the impressions I have formed,
making use of my notes and observations and such information as I have been
able to gather in my travels.
The general provisions for technical instruction in California, and espe-
cially in San Francisco, are as yet incomparably inferior to that of the coun-
tries I visited. We have neither buildings nor equipment, nor have we ever
received the financial aid which should be ours. To illustrate this apathy I
would state that in the recent bond issue not a single dollar was provided for
our public Polytechnic High school. In the manual training and domestic
science department of our elementary schools a miserable pittance of a few
hundred dollars is appropriated for a term's work. We must make the humiliat-
ing confession that practically nothing has been done in the public schools of
San Francisco that compares with the splendid schools and liberal provisions
made for technical instruction abroad.
In San Francisco we have been drifting helplessly along old lines and
traveling in old ruts, falling behind in the great technical education race.
Every city of importance in the United States is ahead of us. European conn-
tries are awake to the situation and the incalculable prize is the control of the
markets of the world.
I hope San Francisco will soon awake from her Rip Van Winkle sleep in
this most vital educational need by making provision for a great technical and
industrial school on the lines of the Belfast, Glasgow, .Manchester or Birming-
ham schools and of the Paris Schools of Arts and Crafts. To do this SIK
fully we must awaken the interest of all our citizens and as far as the teach in:,-
of trades is concerned we must secure the intelligent co-operation of capital
and labor in these schools or they cannot succeed.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 1035
The subdivision of labor more and more prevalent in this country requires
that there shall be either a preliminary or supplementary education along scien-
tific and technical lines to supply the deficiency of the old apprentice system as
is now done in England and France.
The usual objections made to technical and trade schools by labor unions
in this country have been entirely overcome in Great Britain, Ireland *and
France. The unions in these countries have the same industrial problemg to
contend with that have the unions in this country, but they have learned to
encourage and protect these schools as their best friends. Labor leaders of
known ability and probity are elected by the unions as advisory committees to
the Boards of Education in all matters that concern these schools. This brings
the labor unions into close and friendly relation to the industrial school, and
nothing is done without first seeking the advice and opinion of the labor union
committee. On the other hand, many of the largest employers of labor are
invited by the Board of Education to sit at the conferences between the Board
of Education and the labor advisors, and a genuine feeling of fraternity is de-
veloped which tends to co-operation and is of the greatest advantage in tighten-
ing the friendly relations between labor and capital.
As an illustration of the friendly co-operation of unions in the matter of
technical education, permit me to quote what the general secretary of the Ma-
chinists' Union of France says:
"There was a time when trade unions were opposed to the schools. That
opposition, however, came from a misunderstanding of their intended scope. It
has been totally effaced, and now we look upon the schools and instructors as
our best friends, and the graduates as the greatest assets of our trade unions,
since they enable us to select from our ranks the best artisans obtainable. One
is able to get an idea of how much sought after these graduates are, when he
learns that there are more than 20,000 machinists employed in the construction
of high-class automobiles alone in the Department of the Seine, and many
thousands in the construction of locomotives, not to speak of the great numbers
engaged in the various other branches of the machine industry of the very
highest class.
''For the various schools we appoint members of our organization to act
as advisory and visiting members of boards of control; thus we are kept in
touch with the school and its work, and are bound to keep the standard the
very highest."
As .a further illustration let me quote what the general secretary df the
Printing Trades of France says:
"I believe we may be justly proud of our schools of printing, and we have
perfect confidence in the ability of the director. Personally, I have given much
time to the students, and am ever ready to assist in the maintenance of the
highest standard of excellence of equipment and instruction. You are aware,
no doubt, that the seventeen trades comprising the printing industry have in
France the foundation for the attainment of the highest intelligence. Thus our
schools are called upon to supply the several trades with most efficient artisans ;
and that they do this we are bound to believe, for we are receiving the best
wage and the shortest day of any craft in France.
''As you probably know, we have the best school of printing in existence
today, with all the modern types of machines and every facility for instruction.
There is no doubt that as artisans we compare favorably with those of any
other country. We take great pride in assisting the apprentices from these
schools, both educationally and industrially."
1036 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
On the subject of technical education, President Roosevelt says:
"No industrial school can turn out a finished journeyman; but it can fur-
nish the material out of which a finished journeyman can be made, just as an
engineering school furnishes the training which enables its graduates speedily
to become engineers.
' 'We hear a great deal of the need of protecting our workmen from com-
petition with pauper labor. I have very little fear of the competition of pauper
labor. The nations with pauper labor are not the formidable industrial com-
petitors of this country. What the American workingman has to fear is the
competition of the highly skilled workingman of the countries of greatest indus-
trial efficiency. By the tariff and by our immigration laws we can always
protect ourselves against the competition of pauper labor here at home; but
when we contend for the markets of the world we can get no .protection, and
we shall then find that our most formidable competitors are the nations in
which there is the most highly developed business ability, the most highly de-
veloped industrial skill; and these are the qualities which we must ourselves
develop.' '
******
"The calling of the skilled tiller of the soil, the calling of the skilled me-
chanic, should alike be recognized as professions, just as emphatically as the
callings of lawyer, of doctor, of banker, merchant, or clerk. The printer, the
electrical worker, the house painter, the foundry man, ,should be trained just
as carefully as the stenographer or drug clerk. They should be trained alike in
head and in hand. They should get over the idea that to earn twelve dollars
a week and call it 'salary' is better than to earn twenty-five dollars a week and
call it 'wages.'
******
"I am glad that societies have already been formed to promote industrial
education, and that their membership includes manufacturers and leaders of
labor unions, educators and publicists, men of all conditions, who are interested
in education and in industry. It is such co-operation that offers most hope for
a satisfactory solution of the question as to what is the best form of industrial
school, as to the means by which it may be articulated with the public school
system, and as to the way to secure for the boys trained therein the opportunity
to acquire in the industries the practical skill which alone can make them
finished journeymen."
I plead for more technical schools for the good of my State, believing that
we need them to develop the men who do things, the men who move forward
and revolutionize things and work the wonders of modern civilization. Men
skilled in the trades and possessing a knowledge of the sciences underlying
their particular art or craft, possess independence of thought, and an initiative
which directs them toward the development of new creations and new inventions.
thereby preventing and controlling over-production in the existing fields.
This report is based on personal observation and inquiry, and is the result
of my deep interest in the cause of industrial and vocational training. I trust
the study of this report will result in bearing good fruit and in improving our
educational work in San Francisco. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that
our Spanish-American trade is slowly but surely slipping away from us. That
German, English and French commerce and manufactures are acquiring a foot-
hold in neighboring Spanish America, and supplanting American trade to such
an extent that unless we do something, and do it now, we will lose the ridi
trade of our neighbors. We must act. We must employ all the means at our
disposal while it is yet time. We must educate our rising generation in the
commercial and technical arts and crafts.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
103;
Power and superiority must incontestable belong to the most energetic,
intelligent and highly skilled people, whose spirit of initiative is the best de-
veloped. It is only through technical and vocational schools that \ve can de-
velop the skill to defend our threatened industries in the markets of the world,
and keep our country in the first rank of the, great nations. The successful
German invasion of the world's markets, which bids fair to completely displace
the influence of other nations, is the logical outcome of the greater average
efficiency of her workmen. Their energy, patience, activity, and spirit of enter-
prise are remarkable, and at the pace they are going they will soon succeed
in obtaining the commercial supremacy of the chief markets of the world.
We in the United States are facing the grandest future of any country on
the globe. With no traditions to hinder us or wed us to conservatism, we should
take advantage of our patrimony by enlarging the scope of our education and
make it include the utilitarian ''bread and butter" subjects of education, in
order that we may forever lead all the nations of the earth. I appeal to the
patriotism and intelligence of the members of the Board of Supervisors, the
labor unions, the mercantile and manufacturing interests, and all the civic
bodies of San Francisco. I appeal to all to give heed to the call for funds to
build and properly equip our Polytechnical High school and such other tech-
nical schools as may be established. Owing to the complex nature of modern
life and its industries, I am firmly convinced that to develop the whole man
education must have an industrial basis as well as a moral one.
I respectfully submit, this report to the kind attention of all who are inter-
ested in the development of technical education, the prosperity of our industries,
and the consequent greatness of our City, State and Nation.
Respectfully yours,
ALFRED* RONCOVIERI,
Superintendent of Schools.

On October 15, 1908, at 12 o'clock noon, the Fire Alarm Central Station
was transferred to and put in operation at its new headquarters, 55 Fulton
Street, housed in a two-story, Class C building, sixty by one hundred feet, con-
taining the Executive Offices, Inspection Bureau of Interior Wires, Central Fire
Alarm Station and Battery-room, Machine Shop and Storeroom.
The Central Fire Alarm Station equipment is very meager, the switch-
board being of spruce lumber, which, in case of fire, would burn like tinder, and
the instruments mounted thereon are of the crudest character — in fact, this
equipment is a duplication of what was installed in the temporary quarters
rented after the earthquake and fire of 1906.
On October 24, a change in the executive head of the department, caused
by the resignation of the Chief, occurred and the position was filled by the
appointment of one of the operators from the Fire Alarm Branch of the Service.
During the first month of the fiscal year, due to the lack of a sufficient
appropriation, a material decrease in the working force was necessary, which
action stopped all manufacturing in the department's shops and prohibited any
great extensions or betterments in the fire alarm service. Since the great fire
of 1906 nothing in the way of rehabilitation has been accomplished, either
in the fire alarm or police signaling services, the maintenance of which this
department is charged with.
During the month of October a private exchange telephone system was
installed, connecting all fire department houses, offices and stations directly
with the Central Fire Alarm Station, which is handled by competent telephone
operators. This provides an additional auxiliary to the fire alarm service, the
operator, in case of a break-down, being able to communicate immediately and
directly with any and all fire houses.
In the past fiscal year but five new fire alarm boxes were installed, due to
a controversy as to the type of box to be obtained, and the question was not
settled nor the box order awarded until the last day of the fiscal year, viz.,
June 30. During this controversy, Messrs. Law Bros, purchased and pre-
sented to the City and County a modern type of fire alarm box, which, upon
receipt, was immediately placed in service at the southeast corner of Market
and Third Streets.
There was also installed and put into operation the Joker System and Code
of Signals, which enables the Fire Department to know at all times the exact
movements of all companies and officers.
Standard engine house signal boards are being installed in all new fire
houses. A new style of electric horse release has been installed at Truck 1
quarters, which, it is hoped, will demonstrate its superiority in efficiency and
lesser cost of maintenance. In providing this Truck house with fire signaling
service, it was necessary to run the wires underground, the house being within
the "underground district," and, in order to accomplish this, the following
work was done: A survey and numerous tests of the department's old under-
ground system were made with the following result: Forty-six hundred and
sixty feet of cable was pulled out of various ducts and locations in order to
obtain necessary cable and to clear ducts which were needed, and twenty-one
hundred and eight feet of cable was pulled in and connected up along Birch
1072 DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICITY
Avenue to Polk Street, thence to McAllister and along McAllister to the City
Hall; Market to Grant Avenue, to O'Farrell Street and into the quarters of Truck
No. 1. This also gives twenty pair of wires carrying current as far as Market
and Third Streets.
During the year, 682 complaints on engine house equipment, 101 on fire
alarm boxes, 175 on police boxes and 570 on line troubles were attended to.
Overhead wires were removed and restored on account of moving houses and
pile-drivers at twenty-four points. There were installed five fire boxes, two
police boxes and 283 outside local bells, and moved to new locations thirty-three
fire boxes, five police boxes and 148 outside local bells. Repairs to local bells
numbered 313; installations of new battery in fire houses, 26; renewals of bat-
tery, 87; tape renewals in fire houses, 344; fire box tests, 4,202. Daily inspec-
tions and tests were made at the Park and Mission Police Stations on the box
circuits operated from each.
A constant inspection was maintained of overhead electrical construction
operated along and over streets by public service corporations, and numerous
repairs, with a view to safeguarding life and property, were imposed in pur-
suance of the provisions of Ordinance 621. Surveys were completed of the
aerial construction which certain service companies had persisted in maintaining
in the "underground districts," and the removal of nearly all remaining poles
and wires was effected. There were examined 531 specifications of proposed
overhead construction, submitted by service companies for approval, involving a
careful inspection of each pole and wire location. All fire alarm wires were
removed from Fillmore Street, and the .overhead cables to the Central Fire
Alarm Office on Fulton Street were diverted to underground conduit.
The outside local system in all Fire Department houses was changed back
from the gong to the tapper lines. The additional ground character wheel
attachment was removed from all fire alarm boxes in which it had been installed.
Poles and wires for electric lighting were erected on the Alms House grounds.
A new cable was installed to replace one burned out at Mission Police Station.
A push-button, fire signal line was run from No. 8 Chemical to Seal Rock House.
Poles were set to provide for connections with overhead circuits for new fire
houses 1 Engine, 10 Truck, 11 Chemical and 3 Fire Patrol. Main tapper and
alarm circuits No. 1 were extended from 26 Engine, a distance of sixteen blocks,
to No. 10 Truck, and the tapper line was extended to the O'Farrell Street Police
Station. New quarters of Water Tower No. 1 and Engine No. 2 were cut in on
tapper and alarm service. A line was constructed and "joker" service pro-
vided for No. 8 Chemical. All fire boxes and 1,500 feet of molding were painted.
Under the head of Interior Construction, plans and specifications were pre-
pared for complete lighting and signal equipment in seven Fire Department
houses. In eleven houses, electric light wiring was installed, eight of which now
have electric light service. Six engine houses were rewired and fourteen were
provided with new instrument boards. Fire alarm service was installed in five
houses. In offices of various other departments, two electric heater, three push-
button and ten electric light installations were made. For the Board of Public
Works, supervision of new electrical wiring was provided in five buildings of
the Department of Public Health and of extensions and repairs in offices of five
city officials, one police station and two emergency hospitals.
The department's machine shop manufactured "new work" consisting of
seven fire alarm boxes, eleven auxiliary attachments for same, ten engine house
boards, one chronometer case, six battery clamps, one galvanometer. 787 fire
alarm box and 124 police box keys, forty-five let-goes, four name-plates, five
fire alarm box relays, four 12-point repeaters, sixty-four terminal strips, ninety-
eight switches, twenty-six straps and fifty fire alarm box movements. 30 per cent
completed. Repairs were made on ninety-eight mechanical tappers, twenty-six
fire box auxiliary attachments, 125 fire alarm boxes, thirty-eight police boxes,

let-go covers, nine galvanometers, eighty-four telegraph keys, four keyboards,
111 let-goes, fourteen Morse sets, two motors, 280 various relays, eighty-four
engine house registers, four 2-pen registers, two 6-point repeaters, seven take-up
reels, four Morse sounders, 129 let-go springs and one typewriter. A total of
920 construction and repair jobs were turned out of the shop.
INTERIOR INSPECTION
Applications on file for inspection of wiring July 1, 1908 1,166
Applications received during year 5,055
Electrical installations approved 4 494
Applications on file June 30, 1909 1,727
Inspections made during year 15,832
Installations found to be defective 37%
Average visits to each installation 2.54
Average number of inspectors employed 4.75
Inspections made per man per day 9.13
(Included in the above are installations of electrical
signs 368)
Inspections were also made, under instructions of the Board of Supervisors,
of fifty-four nickelodeons and thirteen theaters, where moving picture machines
were in use, these constituting a special hazard. Such repairs were ordered and
accomplished as were necessary to make the installations safe. The past year's
work of this branch of the department has resulted in a perceptible progressive
improvement in the character of workmanship and material employed in the
installations of electrical construction in buildings in this city, which is due to
diligent effort on the part of the inspectors and the policy which has been
adopted of a strict literal application of the ordinances and of the National
Electrical Code rules. While somewhat behind at the beginning of the year, the
business of this branch has been brought up to date, and the applications now
on file represent uncompleted installations not yet ready for final inspection,
with the exception of about fifty condemned premises wherein current is not
allowed to be used. A number of improvemens have been made during the year
in the manner of keeping records of inspection business, a modern card index
filing system having been substituted for the block books formerly in iise.
This method permits quick reference lo any inspection record when the location
of the premises is known, and a complete duplicate set is filed by names of
contractors, simplifying and minimizing the office work heretofore necessary.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are submitted for your consideration for
the benefit of the service:
Sufficient moneys should be set aside to place all fire alarm and police
signal wires under ground, as required by Ordinance. A new, central fire alarm
station, with modern equipment, should be acquired. More circuits should be
built, to relieve the present heavily overloaded circuits. Signal circuits are
now carrying as many as thirty-five boxes and bell circuits as many as eighteen
Fire Department houses each. In good fire alarm practice but fifteen and five
respectively is considered to be the maximum. More fire alarm boxes, of the
1074 DEPAKTMENT OF ELECTKICITY
latest type, should be obtained, equipped with an exposed key covered with a
glass front, so that a fire signal can be turned in without the loss of time
now required in hunting a key. The lighting companies should also be requested
to place a colored globe on each street light, whether gas or electric, where
adjacent to a fire alarm box. Better transportation facilities, by the purchase
of small automobiles, should be supplied this department, time being an important
factor when signal lines become broken or interrupted. This would prevent
fire alarm boxes or Fire Department houses being out of service for any great
period of time. Rapid transportation is imperative to the maintenance of the
system, the length of the circuits covering from fifteen to twenty miles. Suffi-
cient linemen should be employed so that, during the night hours, they may
be immediately dispatched to repair any break occurring to the system. Storage
batteries should be substituted in the fire alarm system for the present type of
primary battery, a small beginning having already been made by the purchase
and installation of 230 cells. There should be installed, without delay, a joker
system. This system would be connected between the central fire alarm office
and each Fire Department house, providing a means for the transmission of
signals and orders quickly and noiselessly. At present a makeshift of such a
system is used, which necessitates ringing the bells simultaneously throughout the
Fire Department. No bells should be rung in Fire Department quarters except
for alarms of fire.
At present but two Police Department stations are supplied with police
signaling equipment, no rehabilitation of this service having been accomplished
since the fire of April, 1906. Each station should be equipped with signaling
circuits, police boxes, switchboards and instruments, carrying therewith a device
known as the winker system, whereby the station can call any or all police
officers from their respective beats to the police boxes for telephone instructions.
This system is extensively used in modern police practice as a quick means of
station officials giving orders to officers on street duty.
In conclusion I desire to commend the employees of this department for
the careful and efficient manner in which they have performed their several
duties during the past year.
I also wish .to express to the Fire and Police Departments my appreciation
of the many courtesies extended.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. J. NIXON,
Chief, Department of Electricity.

Law Library
San Francisco, Cal., July 14, 1909.
Honorable Edward B. Taylor,
Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco.
Dear Sir: The fiscal year just closing finds the San Francisco Law Library
in a prosperous condition. The accessions, while a few hundred volumes short
of the additions of last year, cover a wide field. The American Reports are
almost complete. There are a few volumes still wanting in some of the Southern
States and the State of Rhode Island. There are also to be supplied some of
the nisi prius reports of the various states. These are difficult to obtain, being
scarce and out of print. It is hoped, however, that the American Reports will
be completed during the coming year. There have been added to the Library
during the past year practically complete sets of the Canadian, Scotch and Irish
Reports. Our sets of these publications are as complete as before the fire.
During the year 4,548 volumes were added, making a total of 17,456 volumes
now on the shelves. Almost all of these were purchased. There were very few
donations during the year. The Secretary of State, the Departments at Wash-
ington, the Public Printer of New Zealand, and Mr. E. P. E. Troy were the
only donors.
The character of the books purchased is as follows:

The Library has expended for books since the fire approximately $50,000.
Almost all fields of legal literature have been covered in a greater or less degree,
except the field of legal periodical literature. This is a branch of the law which
has been but little exploited. It is a valuable one and well deserving of atten-
tion. The Executive Committee has been delayed in obtaining publications of
this character by the difficulty of getting satisfactory bids, as there are few
houses that deal in legal periodicals. Bids have been received but not accepted,
as they were regarded as too high. An attempt is now being made to pick up
sets of periodicals by applying to all law houses dealing in second hand books.
The quarters in which the Law Library is now housed are daily becoming
less available for its purposes. The shelf room is practically all exhausted. As
the accessions for the next few years will be heavy it becomes imperative that
more space be acquired if the institution is to serve its proper sphere of use-
fulness.
Before the fire the Library was rich in statute law, and compared favorably
with any law library in the United States. Extensive additions along this line
have been prevented by the fact that other and more necessary books had to
be supplied first. These having now been supplied a special effort will be
made during the coming year to build up the statute law of the library.
Very respectfully,
JAMES H. DEERING,
Secretary and Librarian.
County Clerk's Report
San Francisco, Cal., July 1, 1909.
Hon. Edward R. Taylor,
Mayor in and for the City and County of San Francisco.
Honorable and Dear Sir: —
In compliance with Section 9, Article XVI, of the Charter of the City and
County of San Francisco, I submit herewith the annual report of the office of
County Clerk for the fiscal year 1908-1909.
The office of the County Clerk is now located in the Hibernia Building,
No. 9 Jones street, occupying the first and seventh floors of said building. The
office is modestly furnished and conveniently arranged with counters, desks, book
racks, and metal filing cabinets, presenting a very business-like appearance.
While the office accommodations are inadequate, I will continue in my en-
leavor to make it answer, for the present at least, but respectfully suggest that
as soon as practicable a fire-proof and commodious office be provided for the
County Clerk to protect the many thousands of valuable records.
Having systematized the work of the office, and employing only courteous
and efficient deputies, who observe and maintain a very thorough discipline, I
can safely say that the office is conducted on the highest standard of good govern-
ment and to the satisfaction of the Bench, Bar and Public.
The work of every department is up to date, particularly the Civil and
Probate Departments; all orders and decrees are recorded and docketed im-
mediately, and every record and filing is always in its proper place.
The great volume of business transacted in the Quiet Title Department, and
the thousands of decrees recorded by a limited number of copyists, reflects great
credit upon that department. The work of this department is nearly up to date,
and will be entirely so before the Court vacation season ends. But next year
I anticipate that at least thirty thousand quiet title suits will be filed, all of
which must go to judgment and be recorded; this will greatly increase the
revenue of the office, but it will also be necessary to provide additional help,
which I hope your Honor will recommend same to the Honorable Board of
Supervisors.
As may be seen by reference to the financial statement hereto attached, the
office has not only been self-sustaining during my incumbency, but for the first
time in its history has been a source of great profit to the City and County,
earning in excess of running expenses over two hundred thousand ($200,000)
dollars.
Respectfully submitted,
H. I. MULCREVY,
County Clerk and ex-officio Clerk of the Superior Court of the State
of California, in and for the City and County of San Francisco.

July 1, 1908, to June 30, 1909 47 47
The present naturalization law was adopted by. the Congress of the Unitec
States of America and approved by His Excellency the President. The law
became effective September 27, 1906. The enforcement of the law is under tl
direction of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Division of Naturalization.
. The law invests certain courts with authority to naturalize aliens, among
the courts specified is our Superior Court, of which the County Clerk i
officio Clerk thereof.
In all naturalization matters under the provisions of said law, and in the
rules and regulations of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Division of
Naturalization, the Clerk of the Court exercising jurisdiction in naturalization
matters has imposed upon him a great many important duties, each and all of
which carry with them very grave responsibilities.
If the Clerk makes the slightest error, or violates any of the provisions of
the law, or the rules of the Department, he is liable to fine or imprisonment, or
both.
When the laws became effective I was advised by eminent counsel that I
had authority to act in naturalization matters, and therefore established the
Department of Pension and Naturalization in my office and gave it my close
personal attention. I found that this department was a great convenience to
the thousands of pensioners who come to the office to have their vouchers
verified and sworn to; it also enabled thousands of our naturalized citizens to
have their naturalization records restored, said record having been destroyed
in the fire of April, 1906.
In the matter of new naturalization, the law provides that the Department
of Commerce and Labor, Division of Naturalization, shall furnish the Clerk with
all books, blanks, etc. It also provides that certain fees shall be charged
petitioners for naturalization, etc., half of said fees to be forwarded quarterly
COUNTY CLERK 1097
to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and the other half to be retained by
the Clerk acting as the agent of the Federal Government in naturalization
matters.
The fees received in these matters is in no way commensurate with the
services rendered, or the responsibilities or liabilities imposed, but I have dis-
charged these duties on the advice of the Judges of the Court, who are acting in
these matters, for the reason that it would give our residents who are not citizens
an opportunity to file a petition for naturalization.
In reference to my authority to act in naturalization matters, His Honor,
Mayor Taylor, and I discussed the question, and we agreed to submit the
matter to Hon. Percy V. Long, City Attorney. Judge Long agreed to give an
opinion on the question, but advised that the entire question be submitted to
the Courts for adjudication, which procedure has been followed, and the matter
is now before the Courts.
FROM THE REPORT OF WILLIAM DOLGE
Certified Public Accountant, Expert for the Finance Committee,
Board of Supervisors.
Under the Act of June 29, 1906 (U. S. Statutes 1905-6, Part 1, Page 596),
all proceedings in naturalization are taken over by the Bureau of Immigration
and Naturalization of the Department of Commerce and Labor. The County
Clerk of San Francisco, ex officio Clerk of the Superior Court, acts as the repre-
sentative of the Division of Naturalization for the Federal Government. For
the filing of declarations of intention and petitions for naturalization and the
recording and accounting thereof, the Division of Naturalization of the Depart-
ment of Commerce and Labor has provided a comprehensive procedure which is
properly observed by the County Clerk.

Recorder's Report
San Francisco, July 27, 1909.
To the Hon. Edward R. Taylor,
Mayor, City and County of San Francisco.
Dear Sir:
Pursuant to the provisions of Article XVI, Section 9. of the Charter, I beg
to submit herewith a detailed report of the operations in the Recorder's office for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909.
I am very much pleased to be enabled to report that during the year just
closed the business exceeded that of any other year in the history of the office,
both in the number of documents filed and in the amount of cash received for
fees. And in the net surplus earned by the department — that is, excess of
receipts over expenditures — a substantial increase over the preceding year, and
all other years, is shown.
During the twelve months the office collected in fees the sum of $105,619.90.
In the same period the expenses amounted to $70,400, leaving as profit for the
city treasury the sum of $35,219.90.
A comparison with the preceding year shows as follows:
Fiscal Year. Receipts. Expenses. Net Surplus.
1907-08 $ 85,884.55 $61,262.49 $24,622.06
1908-09.... 105,619.90 70,400.00 35,219.90
Increase, 1908-09....$ 19,735.35 $ 9,137.51 $10,597.84
For a more extended comparison of receipts and expenditures, and surplus
or deficit, I refer you to the tabulated data on another page of this report, which
shows the operations of the department from the year 1859-60 down to the
fiscal year just closed. The last nine years, beginning with the inauguration of
the new charter, show a stoadily increasing surplus, ranging from $5,732.45 for
the fiscal year 1900-01, to the sum of $35,219.90 for the fiscal year just ended.
In the number of instruments filed the increase was also notable, the total
for the year being 64,513, as against 55,729 for the preceding year — a gain of
8,784. In the year 1859-60 the total number of documents filed was but 5,596,
or about 8}& per cent of the number filed in the past fiscal year. In the year
1900-01, being the first full yerr under the new Charter, the number filed was
25,776, or about 40 per cent of the number filed during the last fiscal year.
Deeds, as usual, lead in the list of instruments filed, the total being 13,617,
as against 12,240 for the year preceding.
Lis pendens, or notices of action, to establish title under the McEnerney
Act, were next in number, 9,177 being filed during the year, against 7,001 for
the preceding year.
Decrees to establish title (McEnerney) to the number of 7,972 were filed,
while in the preceding fiscal year the number was much less — 4,277.
Building contracts, in which we are all so much interested, were filed during
the year to the number of 2,612, being an increase of 325 over the previous
year, when 2,287 were filed. But it must be remembered that the number of
contracts filed in this department only relatively represents the actual number of
buildings constructed. Many buildings are erected without contracts for same
being filed in this department.
I again desire to call attention to the fact that under the law regulating the
filing of building contracts, which was amended a few years since, the Recorder
RECORDER 1101
is permitted to return building contracts, to the parties who filed same, two
years after the notice of completion of the building is filed in this department.
All contracts then on file were destroyed in the conflagration of 1906. But many
contracts, filed since that time, are now ready to be returned upon request of
the owners who filed them.
For the next fiscal year the outlook indicates a further increase of business
for this department. Real estate dealers have confidence in greater activity in
the realty market, while architects and builders look forward to increased opera-
tions in the upbuilding of the city. All this, if realized, means more business
for the Recorder's office. In the ''McEnerney" title work, also, there must be
an increase, rather than a decrease, if the property owners are to avail themselves
of the opportunity to establish title in that manner. While the operation of
the law was extended by the Legislature from July 1. 1909, to December 31,
1910, the fact that title has thus far been established to but about one-half of
the property of the city, means the filing of many suits and resultant decrees in
the year and a half covered by the extension.
Many improvements and additions to the equipment of the office are urgently
needed. Chief among these are an elevator to reach the high upper stories, and
a heavy linoleum or carpet to cover the cold cement floors. I am sure that many
of the women and girls employed by the title companies and searchers of records
have suffered physical injury through being compelled to climb long flights of
spiral stairs to reach the upper floors of the Hall of Records, and also through
being stationed on the uncovered cement floors. I have called the attention of
the Supervisors to this situation, and I regret exceedingly that a way has not
been found to improve conditions in this regard.
Very respectfully submitted,
EDMOND GODCHAUX,
Recorder.

Civil Service Commission
San Francisco, July 31, 1909.
To His Honor, the Mayor.
Sir: In accordance with the provisions of Section 9, Article XVI of the
Charter, the Civil Service Commissioners present herewith a report of the opera-
tions of their department for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909.
During said fiscal year, the Commission held 49 regular meetings and 84
special meetings. An additional 29 meetings were held in the office of the
Commission by boards of special examiners appointed by the Commission. The
Commissioners also devoted a great deal of their time throughout the year to
the rating of examination papers.
Thirteen examinations were held, in which 2,510 applicants were examined.
This is the largest number of applicants ever examined in any one year in the
history of the Commission. The next best year was the calendar year 1900, in
which 2,064 applicants were examined.
Following is a schedule of the examinations held during the fiscal year
1908-1909:

In the above mentioned examinations 722 of the persons who had filed
applications failed to appear. Their non-attendance caused much waste of labor,
as preparations had to be made for their examination.
The Commissioners spared no pains in their endeavors to make a success
of the examination for promotion in the Fire Department from the rank of
Captain to the rank of Battalion Chief; but, notwithstanding their efforts, the
examination has been ordered annulled by Judge Sturtevant of the Superior
Court on the grounds that the Commission had no right to fix 20 years' service
1106 CIVIL SEBVICE COMMISSION
in the Fire Department as the period for awarding the maximum credit on the
subject Seniority of Service, and that it also erred in confining the subject
Meritorious Service to infractions of the rules of the Fire Department.
In regard to the first matter, Seniority of Service, the Commission believed
that it was keeping within the provisions of the Charter when it decided that
twenty years' service or over should be given the maximum credit, as the Charter
does not specify any particular manner in which such credit should be awarded.
As to the second matter, Meritorious Service, the Commission was compelled to
confine itself to the record of infractions of the rules of the Fire Department, for
the reason that it was the only record that was complete and that could be
used in connection with this subject. No credit was awarded for brave deeds,
etc., as the Fire Commission could not furnish this Commission with a complete
record of them.
In rendering a decision in this case, Judge Sturtevant said:
"Commencing at page 5 of the return, I find a list of the questions that
were propounded to the petitioners and their associates in taking the examination.
Those questions, I may state in passing, seem to have been carefully and properly
selected. The subject matter is not too broad to injure any of the applicants."
The Firemen's Herald of New York on August 22, 1908, devoted two columns
in commendation of the examination, and printed the questions in full.
An appeal has been taken, and we feel confident that the decision of Judge
Sturtevant will be reversed by the higher court.
The greater part of the preparatory work for an examination of Firemen,
Fire Department, was done during the month of June. The list of applicants
closed on July 3d, with 749 applications on file. This examination consisted of
three parts — physical, athletic and written tests — and was held during the month
of July, 1909.
Six of the examinations held during the year required technical knowledge,
and in these examinations the Commission was assisted by the following boards
of special examiners:

The same Board of Special Examiners as for Surveyors' Field Assistants, held

A. N. Waite, Assistant Superintendent of Public Buildings, advised and
assisted the Commission in connection with the examination for Plumbers'
Helpers, held December 30, 1908.
During the year, 244 laborers were certified for appointment, and 520 were
registered for employment. The total number of laborers that have been regis-
tered is 6116.
During the past six months the Commission has made it a practice to inspect
the laborers before certifying them for appointment. About 100- were summoned
to appear at a time and required to shoulder a sack of sand weighing 125 pounds.
If they failed to shoulder the sack, their names were removed from the laborers'
1108 CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
register. If they succeeded, they were then questioned by the Commissioners
regarding the kincj of laboring work they had been doing or could do. This
system of inspection has proven a success by materially reducing the number of
complaints regarding superannuated laborers.
From July 1, 1908, to June 30, 1909, 1027 certifications, covering both
permanent and temporary appointments, were made by the Commission as

Report of Playground Commission
Hon. Edward R. Taylor, Mayor, City and County of San Francisco.
Sir: In behalf of the Playground Commission of the City and County of
San Francisco we have the honor of presenting for your consideration report
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909.
From the inception of the Playground Commission active service has been
performed; meetings have been held regularly as provided by the charter, and
several special meetings have taken place as the growing and important work
of the commission made necessary. The appropriation of $20,000 was made; this
amount was $30,000 less than the sum asked for, yet in view of the urgent
demands of the various municipal departments the commission feels grateful that
even this amount was provided for its work.
The late Mr. Newton J. Tharp, City Architect, rendered valuable, service
to the commission in making drawings and plans for fitting up the grounds
and erection of buildings.
By courtesy of the Board of Education the Playground Commission has had
the free use of its offices, corner of Pine and Larkin Streets, for headquarters
in the transaction of business. For a few months in the early part of the
work of the Commission Mr. E. C. Leffingwell of the Board of Education per-
formed the office of Secretary of the Commission.
Mr. Horace G. White was elected Secretary, August 13, 1908, and gave
promise of a most competent and efficient officer. His very sudden death soon
after election, however, seriously affected the work of the Commission.
Mr. John W. Sweeney was elected to succeed Mr. White December 1, 1908.
The two Playgrounds acquired by the City passed into control of the Com-
mission at its appointment.
The North Beach Playground, a plot of land bounded by Greenwich, Powell,
Lombard and Mason Streets, was given first attention, and a contract was
entered into with Mr. Jno. Spargo for $10,450 to excavate, grade and construct
a concrete wall around the east half of the block referred to. The work was
delayed to unusual length by inclement weather, thus holding the Commission
back from pushing other work that must necessarily wait upon the first con-
tract being completed. The wall was finally finished in April, 1909, and the
Commission, together with the City Architect, prepared plans for dressing rooms,
shower baths and toilets. The very best of designs and practical ideas were put,
into service. The contracts for these improvements were awarded Mr. E. W.
Elliot at a cost of $5,482.
It was soon discovered that the plans for the toilets would have to be
changed, as the sewer on the Greenwich Street side was not deep enough, owing
to a former administration failing to sink the main sewer to the proper depth.
New plans were secured and a trench, across the full length of the grounds, was
laid out, in order to connect with the Lombard Street sewer. This work was
awarded the Ahlbach and Mayer Company for $350 and is now nearly completed.
From all sections of the city petitions for playgrounds have been presented,
but limited resources prevented the Commission from undertaking much of any-
thing in the line of providing extra playgrounds, glad as they would have been
to do so. The Commission secured free use of vacant land on the corner of
Nineteenth and Pennsylvania Streets in the Potrero District, and, assisted by
the Nurses' Settlement and the Potrero Boys' Club, put the ground into shape
at a modest cost to the city.
PLAYGROUND COMMISSION 1113
The second Playground under control of the Commission, located at the
corner of Harrison and Seventh Streets, has been graded and trees planted
around the entire area. When we realize that this lot was littered with broken
glass and everything imaginable in the way of debris, the work accomplished
is most satisfactory. The improved space covers a plot 275 feet by 400 feet, and,
until we can secure the adjoining strip on Harriett Street, 550 feet by 75 feet,
the Playground must be limited to the above area. The Commission has recom-
mended that all rentals from the leased holdings on playground plots be set
aside to purchase the Harriett Street property. The City and County Attorney
is now looking into the question of legality in the hope that the same can be
accomplished, as the small amount left over from the bond issue will not be
sufficient to purchase the property in question. When this land is secured there
will be in possession of the City one of the largest and finest Playgrounds in
the United States.
The Commission appreciates the valuable services rendered by Commissioner
John McLaren in the way of many timely helps and suggestions in the fitting
up and laying out of these Playgrounds.
In May, 1909, Mr. S. S. Peixotto resigned from the Commission, as he con-
templated many months' absence in foreign countries. Mr. George A. Schlitter
was appointed his successor.
In January of 1909, Mr. Jos. O'Connor succeeded Mr. Thos. F. Boyle as a
member of the commission.
It must be borne in mind that the Playground Commissioners are perform-
ing their work without compensation. Every member of the Commission is
busy with their own large, personal affairs, but willingly and gladly give their
services for the furtherance of this splendid work among the hosts of children
in our great City, and only hope that means that may be at their disposal, either
by appropriation by our City Fathers or acquired by gifts or bequests, will
enable them to carry out the extensive plans they have in contemplation in pro-
viding throughout the City beautifully adorned and equipped Playgrounds and
recreation centers.
The west half of the North Beach Playground will be put into condition
with all possible haste and Commissioners McCoy and Astredo will soon have
the preliminary work for the construction of a shallow swimming pool at this
point. The City Engineer has already prepared plans which he will soon put
into effect and the pool will serve the double purpose — for bathing and as an
auxiliary to the fire system.
The Commission contemplates the propriety of erecting a gymnasium over
the pool and use the building as a meeting hall for the settlement work and the
other departments of work to be undertaken.
Our children are the City's greatest asset and no expenditure can be con-
sidered too great to provide for their social, moral and physical development,
for we must all admit that play properly directed is both educational and bene-
ficial.
. Respectfully submitted,
PLAYGROUND COMMISSION OF SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.

Department of Elections' Report
San Francisco, June 30, 1909.
To the Honorable, Edward Robeson Taylor,
Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco.
Sir: In accordance with Article XVI, Section 9, of the Charter of the
City and County of San Francisco, the Board of Election Commissioners herewith
present their annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909.
Five elections were held during the past fiscal year, as follows: Primary
Election, August 11, 1908; General Election, November 3, 1908; Bond Election,
to incur bonded debt, viz: "Water Supply, etc.," November 12, 1908; Bond
Electon, to incur bonded debt, "Civic Center, etc.," June 22, 1909; Bond Elec-
tion, to incur a bonded debt, "Municipal Street Railway," June 24, 1909.
The Legislature of 1909 adopted ' 'An Act to Provide for and Regulate
Primary Elections, etc.," which was approved March 24, 1909, and took effect
June 1, 1909.
The Board of Election Commissioners, immediately after the approval of
said Act, made preparations to comply with its provisions. About five thou-
sand dollars was expended in printing and clerical assistance necessary under
such Primary Law, to June 30, 1909. The same was taken from the annual
appropriation for this Department, the Board of Supervisors not having made
any special appropriation for said purpose.
The report also includes the financial statement of this Department, together
with a table showing dates of elections, number of precincts, the total registra-
tion and vote cast at each election since June 19, 1878; also a statement showing
the nativity of all voters registered during the fiscal year 1908-1909; also a sum-
mary of the vote cast at the Primary election held August 11, 1908, and a com-
plete statement of votes cast for and against each person voted for at the General
Election held November 3, 1908, together with the vote cast for and against
each Constitutional Amendment and proposition voted upon at said election;
also a summary of the votes cast at the Bond elections held November 12, 1908,
and June 22 and 24, 1909.

Report of Chief of Police
REPORT OF JESSE B. COOK, CHIEF OF POLICE OF THE CITY AND
COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
ENDING JUNE 30, 1909.
To the Honorable Edward R. Taylor, Mayor of the City
and County of San Francisco, State of California.
Sir:
In compliance with Section 9, Article XVI of the Charter, I submit here-
with the Annual Report of the Police Department for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1909.
The total number of arrests for all offenses during the year was 34,336,
a decrease of 4,411 over that of last year. Of this total the arrests for
intoxication were 10,024, a decrease over last year of 370.
The Detective branch of the service devoted to the identification of
criminals has been materially improved during the year. The Finger Print
System has been installed and is now in operation. The basic principal of
this system is that the formation of the skin on the fingers of various
individuals are radically different. How great this difference is may be
readily seen by examining the base of the thumb or the ends of the
fingers. These formations never change during life, and no two hands
are exactly alike. The scientific classification of the various formations
enables one skilled in the business to readily identify a print previously
taken.
Steel filing cases have been provided for the Bureau by the Board of
Supervisors, and a complete card system has been installed which is much
more satisfactory than the old method of keeping the records in that office.
MOTOR-CYCLE OFFICERS.
During the past year three officers have been detailed for duty on
motor-cycles for the purpose of stopping ''scorchers" and reckless driving
of motor vehicles. All of the streets frequented by automobiles are travelled
by the officers detailed, and speeding within the City limits has been
practically eliminated. The motor-cycles which these officers ride are equipped
with an apparatus for determining the speed at which they are travelling.
When the officer suspects a driver of exceeding the speed limit he simply
travels beside the machine for a short distance, when he is readily able
to determine the speed.
NEW TRAFFIC ORDINANCE.
The new Traffic Ordinance which was passed by the Board of Supervisors
went into effect on. February 15, 1909, and is giving general satisfaction,
both to the drivers and the public. Its provisions also enable this Department
to handle the traffic on the streets, especially in the congested portions of
the City.
1160 CHIEF OF POLK K
FUGITIVES FROM JUSTICE.
We have been very fortunate in the apprehension of fugitives from
justice wanted in various cities throughout the United States. Our records
show a number of arrests of fugitives, which include persons wanted in other
states for homicide and other offenses.
During the year we have had but few escapes, and other departments
have rendered us every possible assistance in apprehending criminals.
POLICE INSPECTION.
An inspection and review of the force was held in the Stadium at
Golden Gate Park, on October 30, 1908. The force was inspected by his
Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Board of Police Commissioners. Many
commendatory remarks were made by the inspecting officers and the public
in general as to the discipline and bearing of the men.
This inspection will be continued each year, with a view of improving
the discipline and bearing of the force.
POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM
The Police Signal System which was destroyed in the fire of April 1906,
has not as yet been restored in the burned district. The rehabilitating of
this system I consider a very important matter. Business houses are now
moving back to old locations, and the work of the Department in the burned
section of the city could be greatly facilitated if the signal system were
restored.
I would urgently recommend that the system be restored as soon as
possible.
ELIGIBLES FOR APPOINTMENT AS POLICE OFFICERS.
During the past year an examination for policemen was held by the
Civil Service Commission, and a list of ninety-two eligibles for appointment
was adopted, out of several hundred applicants Avho failed in the examinations.
Owing to the strict application of the Rules of the Civil Service Commission
governing applicants for appointment on the Police Force, by the Board
of Physicians chosen for that work, a large number of applicants failed to
come up to the physical requirements adopted by the Civil Service Com-
missioners.
This Department co-operated /'with the Civil Service Commission in carry-
ing out the examination, which ' resulted in weeding out many undesirable
applicants, and the men certified from the list obtained have given jrood
satisfaction. I hope that in future examinations this co-operation will con-
tinue which will result in securing men of good character for appointment
as Police Officers.
Very Respectfully,
J. B. COOK,
Chief of Police.

Juvenile Detention Home
San Francisco, Cal., July 13, 1909.
Hon. Edward R. Taylor, Mayor,
and
Probation Committee, Juvenile Court.
I herewith submit the following as my annual report of the Juvenile Deten-
tion Home for the year ending June 30, 1909:
Dep. Del. Total
Xuihber of cases 1,555 1,492 3.04T
Number of meals furnished 24,714
Average number per meal
Total cost of maintaining home, including food,
salary, rent, etc $5,613.41
Average cost per child per day .67 *£
Since my last report the age limit of the children has been raised from 16
to 18 years. The Home is in very poor condition for receiving such large
children, as we have only one yard and the little boys are compelled to mingle
with the large ones, and they hear many things that they should not. The same
conditions exist as to the girls, except that they have no yard at all, and are
kept in the hoiise, but the smaller girls are constantly in the company of the
larger ones and hear conversation that they should not.
Some provision should be made to build a new Home that will come up to
the requirements. The bathing facilities for both sexes are of the poorest, and as
the majority of the children received are in a filthy condition, it is very necessary
that an improvement should be made.
•We are badly in need of fumigating rooms so that the clothing can bs
properly cleaned. In fact, the only way that proper conditions can be obtained
is by building a new Home.
The clinic in connection with the Home has proven a God-send to many
children. Drs. Lyle, Black and Stafford deserve a great deal of credit for the
good work they are doing in operating upon and prescribing for the children.
They have operated upon and prescribed for 280 children and all have been
attended with the best results. In many cases the whole character of the child
lias been changed for the better, and the only recompense these doctors receive
is the heart-felt thanks of the parents and the satisfaction of knowing that they
are helping the children to become good men and women. Too much credit
cannot be given them for their work.
A Women's Auxiliary to the Court, consisting of many influential ladies, has
been organized, and the different committees, especially the sewing committee.
consisting of Mrs. Hearnan, Mrs. Shirek, Mrs. Hickey and Mrs. Hildebruml. have
been doing a great deal of work for the Home. They meet at the Home every
Wednesday afternoon and sew. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Calvary Presl«y
t<-ri;m Church, has also done a good deal of sewing for the Home.
;\Irs. Constance Shirek has contributed a dozen suits of clothes fur hoys,
also a dozen pairs of shoes for boys and a half-dozen pairs for girls. In fact, that
kind-hearted lady has given a great many things for the comfort of the children.
Many loys and girls have found that it does not pay to be bad. and have
been put to work, and are now self-supporting and on the road to good citizen-
ship. The clothes contributed by Mrs. Shirek have helped a great deal in
getting work for the boys, as it made it possible for them to make a y-ood appear-
ance when applying for it.
Respectfully,
HARRY A. KXOX.
Superintendent.
Sheriff's Report
Sheriff's Office, 122 McAllister Street.
San Francisco, Cal., August 4, 1909.
To the Hon. Edward Robeson Taylor, Mayor of the City
and County of San Francisco.
Dear Sir : I herewith submit to you my Annual Report of the fiscal year,
ending June 30, 1909, as per Section 9, Article XVI, of the Charter.
OFFICE
The following amounts were received and paid into the City and County
Treasury, as per statement filed with the Auditor.

Total paid in for year ending June 30, 1909 $33,536.56
Received for U. S. Prisoners, quarterly account U. S. Marshall and
paid into Treasury 415.20
Grand total paid into Treasury for fiscal year $33,951.76
JAIL NO. 1
I respectfully call your attention to the pressing need of a new jail to more
properly house and safe-guard the prisoners awaiting trial on felony charges.
The present quarters at Ingleside are entirely inadequate and very inconvenient
insofar as transporting the prisoners to and from court is concerned. The con-
stant use of one and two vans is required daily to take the prisoners to and from
the different courthouses, the usual number being from five to twenty-five pris--
oners, and the attention of extra jailers and guards is necessary owing to the
long distance traveled between the jail and the courthouses.
I would respectfully suggest that the attention of the City Architect be
called to the urgent necessity of the submitting of plans and specifications for a
new jail to your Honorable Board of Supervisors, and that this matter be given
your earnest consideration at an early date. Would also suggest that the jail
be built adjacent to or as near as possible to the Criminal Courts Building,
thereby greatly facilitating the handling of prisoners.
The Jail Library now contains about 2,700 catalogued volumes, and the
thanks of the City is due the ladies of the California Club for many contributions.
JAIL NO. 2
The buildings known as Jail No. 2 are well adapted for jail purposes,
although considerable repairs will be necessary in order to make them perfectly
safe and comfortable. New fences and outbuildings, such as sulphur house, black-
1186
SHKKIH-1
smith shop and paint shop are very essential, the present outbuildings are in a
state of dilapidation. In this connection would suggest that the bricks from
the condemned portion of Jail No. 3 could be used very advantageously in con-
structing the above named outbuildings, and thereby greatly lessen the expense
of replacing the present wooden buildings. Some minor repairs required inside
the jail buildings proper, such as repairing the damage to the walls caused by
the earthquake of 1906, painting and so forth, should be attended to as soon as
possible.
From 125 to 175 men are employed in the kitchens, butcher shop, tailor
shop, stables and barns, and in repairing the roads and streets in the vicinity
of the Jails. Respectfully call your attention at this point to the report of
the labor performed by prisoners working in the road gangs, which is hereto
appended. This work has been of great benefit to the vicinity of the Jails and
at the same time has kept the prisoners in a much better state of health than
would otherwise be possible.
JAIL NO. 3
This Jail is now in first class condition and is an ideal place for the unfor-
tunate women who are confined there. The inmates are as a rule the same all
the year round, and are weak, irresponsible women who are unable to care
for themselves.
The condemned, damaged portion of this Jail should be torn down, and
the bricks used as suggested above for outbuildings at Jail No. 2.
COMMISSARY DEPARTMENT
The number of persons provided for ,by this department during the past
fiscal year was greater than for a number of years, the average for the year
being 361.
Attached hereto will be found a statement showing the money expended
from the appropriation for the subsistence of prisoners and the appropriation
for Sheriff's expense. This statement shows a net credit balance of $659.45 to
be turned into the Treasury, despite the fact that during the last fiscal year
we had more prisoners at the County Jail than for many years previous. The
deficit in the Sheriff's Expense account is accounted for by the facts that the
two vans, owing to their constant usage daily, have been overhauled completely
on two occasions, painted and generally repaired, and also a fire at one of the
stables destroyed a considerable amount of supplies that it was necessary to
replace immediately.
Would call your attention particularly to the fact thut the office equipment
at the Sheriff's office and also at the County Jail is entirely inadequate. There
is urgent need at both places for a safe of sufficient size to hold the records
of the office. There is absolutely no protection against a possible fire or other
destructive cause to the records at either office at the present time. Other
equipment is needed, but we respectfully call attention to the absolute need of
these safes and make requisition for them.
A Fairbanks platform scale, such as is in use at the Relief Home and City
and County Hospital, would be a very valuable adjunct to the equipment of
the Commissary Department and would enable us to have a satisfactory check
on the coal, hay and grain and other bulky articles that are at present weighed
on a small scale at a great loss of time and labor, and the results obtained
in this manner are far from satisfactory. A scale of this type could be installed
at the entrance to Jail No. 2 and all supplies conveniently weighed.
Respectfully submitted,
L. J. DOLAX.
Sheriff. City and County of San Francisco.

San Francisco, January 31, 1909.
To the Honorable the Board of Public Works,
City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen : — The Board of Public Works have been directed by Resolution
No. 3051 (New Series), of the Board of Supervisors, to make an appraisement
of the properties of the Spring Valley Water Company actually used in furnish-
ing the City and County of San Francisco and the inhabitants thereof, with a
pure and wholesome supply of water; for the purpose of enabling the said
Board of Supervisors to establish a basis of valuation of said property upon
which it may fix and determine water rates to be charged said City and County
and its inhabitants for the fiscal year, commencing July 1, 1909, and ending
June 30, 1910.
Since 1901 all estimates of the valuation of the Spring alley Water Com-
pany property which have been submitted by your Honorable Board to the
Board of Supervisors, have been based upon the comprehensive estimate made
during 1900 and 1901 under the direction of your Board by City Engineer C.
E. Grunsky. In addition to the above estimate, City Engineer Grunsky sub-
mitted estimates to your Board on January 31, 1902; January 30, 1903, and
January 26, 1904. A recapitulation of the estimate of January 26, 1904, is
as follows:

In January, 1908, City Engineer Marsden Manson estimated the value of
the works in use at $24,925,321.

By W. B. BOURN, President.
San Francisco, Cal., February 11, 1909.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
Of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — In order to be more explicit in reference to what may be
considered a reasonable rate to be allowed on the value of the property used
in supplying water to the City and County of San Francisco, we beg to quote
from a decision rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States on January
4, 1909, and commonly known as the ''Consolidated Gas Case'':
''In an investment in a gas company, such as complainants', the
risk is reduced almost to a minimum. It is a corporation, which, in
fact, as the court below remarks, monopolizes the gas service of the
largest city in America, and is secure against competition under the
circumstances in which it is placed, because it is a proposition almost
unthinkable that the City of New York would, for purposes of making
competition, permit the streets of the city to be again torn up in order
to allow the mains of another company to be laid all through them to
supply gas which the present company can adequately supply. And,
so far as it is given us to look into the future, it seems as certain
as anything of such a nature can be, that the demand for gas will in-
crease, and, at the reduced price, increase to a considerable extent. An
interest in such a business is as near a safe and secure investment as
ran be imagined with regard to any private manufacturing business,
although it is recognized at the same time that there is a possible ele-
ment of risk, even in such a business. The court below regarded it as
the most favorably situated gas business in America, and added that
all gas business is inherently subject to many of the vicissitudes of
manufacture. Under the circumstances, the court held that a rate which
would permit a return of six per cent would be enough to avoid the
charge of confiscation, and for the reason that a return of such an
amount was the return ordinarily sought and obtained on investments
of that degree of safety in the City of New York.
"Taking all facts into consideration, we concur with the court
below on this question, and think complainant is entitled to six per cent . ,
mi the fair value of its property devoted to the public use.
•'If. the property, which legally enters into the consideration of
the question of rates, has increased in value since it was acquired,
the compjuiy is entitled to the benefit of such increase."
1230
WATER RATES
In reference to our quotations, we beg to state that our risk is not reduced
to a minimum. The laws of California are framed to invite competition, and
the municipality of San Francisco is now considering competition. The esti-
mated cost to the municipality of a plant to furnish its inhabitants with water
is, approximately, $43,000,000. You have recently placed a bond issue on a
basis of approximately 'four per cent. Four per cent on an estimated cost of
$43,000,000 amounts to $1,720,000. Therefore, is it not just, in weighing our
requests, that you take into consideration the returns we ask on the value of
our investment as compared with the revenue that should be realized from the
contemplated investment of the municipality ?
Stronger than theory is the fact that the risk of our business is not "re-
duced almost to a minimum," as has been proved by the realized returns on
the investment for many years past.

SPRING VALLEY WATER COMPANY,

Arthur L. Adams, being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
I am a civil and hydraulic engineer, and have been engaged in the practice
of my profession for more than twenty years.
I was, for a number of years, the engineer of a public water plant, which
supplied water to a large part of the City of Los Angeles and its inhabitants.
I was, for a number of years, chief engineer of the Contra Costa Water
Company, and later for the Peoples Water Company, which acquired by pur-
chase the plant of said Contra Costa Water Company, which plant has for a
number of years supplied practically all of the water used by the cities of Oak-
land, Berkeley and *Alameda and the inhabitants thereof.
I am very familiar with the -plant and property of the Spring Valley
Water Company used for the purpose of supplying water to the City and County
of San Francisco and its inhabitants, such familiarity having been acquired from
and by a most exhaustive examination made by me of said plant and property.
From such examination I am able to state, and do state, that the value of said
plant and property is more than forty million dollars.
I have devoted a great deal of time to examining other water supplies,
which might be availed of to furnish water to the City and County of San
Francisco and its inhabitants, and it is my opinion, after a thorough investiga-
tion of the subject, that no water supply equivalent to that of the Spring Valley
Water Company can be brought from any Sierra source to the City and County
of San Francisco and furnish water to it and its inhabitants for the sum of forty
million dollars.

COMMUNICATION FROM SPRING VALLEY WATER COMPANY.
San Francisco, Cal., February 16, 1909.
Mr. John E. Behan, Clerk of Board of Supervisors,
70 Eddy Street, San Francisco.
Dear Sir: I beg to request that you will file the two enclosed letters
exhibits in the matter of the fixing of water rates for the coming fiscal year.
Very respectfully,
W. B. BOURN, President.
San Francisco, Cal., February 15, 1909.
To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: The responsibility for furnishing water to the City and County
of San Francisco rests conditionally upon this Company. The responsibility for
making just water rates rests with the Board of Supervisors. There is no physi-
cal reason why the water supply furnished the City of San Francisco by this
Company should not be adequate and satisfactory. That any section of this
City is without an adequate water supply is due solely to financial conditions,
which were directly created by the unjust and unwise treatment accorded this
Company by municipal administrations. We have endeavored to make this clear
to you. That there may be no mistake, I beg to inform you that if fair and
just rates are made for the coming fiscal year, if past differences are adjusted
and if a reasonable foundation is created to guide the action of future Boards
of Supervisors, that may tend to insure reasonable safety for additional invest-
ment, I have every reason to believe that the Spring Valley Water Company
will be able to finance all matters pertaining to the water supply of San Fran-
cisco. .
In a recent communication I quoted from a decision rendered by the Su-
preme Court of the United States. I now bring to your attention a decision that
was rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States on January 4, 1909,
in what is commonly known as the "Knoxville Water" case.
''The cost of reproduction is one way of ascertaining the present
value of a plant like that of a water company, but that test would lead
to obviously incorrect results, if the cost of reproduction is not dimin-
ished by the depreciation which has come from age and use.
"A water plant, with all its additions, begins to depreciate in value
from the moment of its use. Before coming to the question of profit at
all the company is entitled to earn a sufficient sum annually to provide
not only for current repairs but for making good the depreciation and
replacing the parts of the property when they come to the end of their
life. The company is not bound to see its property gradually waste,
without making provision out of earnings for its replacement. It is
entitled to see that from earnings the value of the property invested is
kept unimpaired, so that at the end of any given term of years the origi-
nal investment remains as it was at the beginning. It is not only the
right of the company to make such a provision, but it is its duty to its
WATER RATES 1233
bond and stockholders, and, in the case of a public service corporation
at least, its plain duty to the public. If a different course were pursued
the only method of providing for replacement of property which has
ceased to be useful would be the investment of new capital and the issue
of new bonds or stocks. This course would lead to a constantly increas-
ing variance between present value and bond and stock capitalization —
a tendency which would inevitably lead to disaster either to the stock-
holders or to the public, or both. If, however, a company fails to per-
form its plain duty and to exact sufficient returns to keep the invest-
ment unimpaired, whether this is the result of unwarranted dividends
upon over issues of securities or of omission to exact proper prices for
the output, the fault is its own.
*******
''Regulation of public service corporations, which perform their
duties under conditions of necessary monopoly will occur with greater
and greater frequency as time goes on. It is a delicate and dangerous
function, and ought to be exercised with a keen sense of justice on the
part of the regulating body, met by a frank disclosure on the part of
the company to be regulated. The Courts ought not to bear the whole
burden of saving property from confiscation, though they will not be
found wanting where the proof is clear. The legislatures and subordi-
nate bodies, to whom the legislative power has been delegated, ought
to do their part. Our social system rests largely upon the sanctity of
private property, and that State or community which seeks to invade
it will soon discover the error in the disaster which follows. The slight
gain to the consumer, which he would obtain from a reduction in the
rates charged by public service corporations, is as nothing compared
with his share in the ruin which would be brought about by denying
to private property its just reward, thus unsettling values and destroy-
ing confidence. On the other hand, the companies to be regulated will
find it to their lasting interest to furnish freely the information upon
which a just regulation can be based."
A careful perusal of these decisions in their entirety by individual mem-
bers of the Board of Supervisors should enable the Board to so perform its duty
to the Spring Valley Water Company as will enable the Company to perform its
duty to the community.
Respectfully,
W. B. BOURN, President.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE SPRING VALLEY WATER COMPANY.

of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: Under date of February 8, 1909, there was furnished you by
this company our estimated operating expenses for the fiscal year 1909-10.
Experiences of the last few days ^bring striking proof of the unwisdom and
injustice of endeavoring to estimate operating expenses without taking into
consideration unlooked for contingencies.
The recent heavy rains have caused land disturbances at our property near
Lake San Andreas, on which is situated our screen house and pipe line. Large
123-1

additional expense must be incurred to protect, remove or replace this portion
of the plant. For the same reason other abnormal maintenance expenses will
be necessary at other points. Last year the Board of Directors authorized the
charging of $20,000 to an insurance and contingent fund. We beg to suggest
that a charge of $50,000 per year for contingencies would be just and reasonable.
Every element of difference in reference to estimated operating expenses,
proper charges for depreciation or obsolescence, contingent or other funds, could
be eliminated if you would devise means to satisfy yourselves relative to every
essential pertaining to the management of this property. It was to that end
we suggested your naming two members of our Board of Directors. Nothing
but a just and reasonable return on the value of the investment is sought by
the management. Any revenue derived by the company in excess of that
belongs to the rate payers, for whom this company is the trustee. It is returned
to them in the future through a legal and just reduction in rates. If, however,
a rate is made that is in any degree less than a just and fair rate, the company
cannot perform its duty, and, therefore, such action is unjust to the community
as well as to the company.
Very respectfully,
W. B. BOURX, President,

REPORT OF BALANCE SHEETS AND PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT,
YEAR 1908.
San Francisco, February 19, 1909.
Spring Valley Water Company, San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sirs: We have examined the books and accounts of the Spring Valley
Water Company for the year ending December 31, 1908, and certify that the
attached Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account, being copies of those
accompanying the letter of the Company to the Board of Supervisors of the City
and County of San Francisco, dated February 8, 1909, and correctly prepared
therefrom.
During the year only actual additions have been charged to Capital Asset
Accounts, replacements on account of the earthquake and fire of April, 1906,
have been charged against the fund raised from the Stock Assessment and
ordinary repairs and renewals have been charged to Operating Expenses. The
charge of $260,000 for depreciation and obsolesence is in our opinion a con-
servative allowance, but if it is desired to provide for contingencies which
might affect the income of this Company t^ie provision of $20,000 appears to
us to be extremely small.
An actual physical inventory of Material, Supplies and Stable Equipment,
taken at December 31, 1908, and valued at cost prices, showed a figure slightly
in excess of the amount stated in the Balance Sheet.
WATEE EATES
1235
The Bills Receivable were examined by us and the amounts due from Con-
sumers were checked with the Registers.
The Cash on Hand and in Bank was verified by us and subject to the
fact that dividend checks, amounting to $27,652.24, issued in excess of the
amount paid in to the Dividend Account with the Bank had not been deducted
from the Cash in Bank, was found correct. The liability for unpaid dividends,
included in Current Liabilities, is overstated by a similar amount so that the
net result is not affected by this difference.
So far as we could ascertain all known liabilities were brought on to the
books at December 31, 1908, but no provision has been made for any Contingent
Liability on account of collections and charges made by the Company in excess
of the rates fixed by the Board of Supervisors.
Subject to these remarks we certify that the Balance Sheet is properly drawn
up so as to show the true financial position of the Company at December 31, 1908,
and that the relative Profit and Loss Account is a fair and correct statement
of the net earnings for the fiscal year ending that date.

COMMUNICATION FROM SPRING VALLEY WATER COMPANY.
San Francisco, Cal., February 24, 1909.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — In submitting our estimate of depreciation and obsolescence,
we stated that it was hurriedly prepared and that it would be necessary to study
various authorities before expressing an unqualified opinion as to the estimate
therein contained. Having made a careful study of the matter, I am more than
ever convinced that the principle of a liberal allowance is one that will best
protect the interests of the community and the interests of the company.
The estimated life of timber structures, ten years, was made on the basis
of present condition of the structures. If depreciation is based on amortiza-
tion, two methods are open: to estimate on the basis of value of the plant
in its present condition, or on the basis of cost.
In the estimate rendered you, the fund was amortized at an interest rate
<>f three and one-half per cent per annum. This rate of interest is too high.
We could hardly expect to realize on idle funds more than the City realizes
on its idle funds, which is two per cent per annum.
But amortization of the cost or value of a plant that is subject to deprecia-
tion is not a safe or sound method of creating a depreciation fund.
Consulting authorities, I find they disagree on the life of physical parts
as well as on other vital elements. Mr. Grunsky, in his report of 1901, assumes
''periods of serviceability." Mr. Adams, in his affidavit or testimony, differs
with Mr. Grunsky. I understand reports have been made by Rudolph Hering,
Samuel L. Gray and Joseph M. Wilson, but I have been unable to consult them.
There are elements of depreciation or obsolescence that I have endeavored
to impress upon you should be covered for the better safe-guarding of the
interests of the community. The system of amortizing cost or value of de-
WATER RATES 1237
preciable plant is unsound in that it does not cover the depreciation caused
through the advisability that may arise of installing modern and improved in-
ventions, or for the changes in plant that may become necessary by the growth
of fixed conditions, both tending to economy and efficiency. It is unsound
bookkeeping for a corporation to wait until the end of its fiscal year and then
ask the question: How much can we afford to write off this year for deprecia-
tion?
It is unwise, unjust and illegal not to provide, either through a depreciation
fund or through a contingent fund, a reserve to cover contingencies. In other
words, from earnings must be provided the necessary moneys to properly repair,
maintain or replace every component part of the structural plant.
It is not to the best advantage of the community who desire to pay low
water rates, or to the company who desires to distribute water at the lowest
rates consistent with proper methods of accounting, to lay a foundation ior a
depreciation fund that will not amply protect the company in all changes to its
plant that tend toward efficiency and economy or distribution.
In my opinion three hundred thousand dollars per annum is a minimum
charge that should be made if conditions will permit ; but, considering all the
elements of difference that exist between engineers and accountants, the matter
is one that should be adjusted by mutual agreement. The city would be amply
protected from every point of view if dividends were controlled by agreement.
ON THE MATTER OF THE VALUE OF PROPERTY USED IN SUPPLYING
THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO WITH WATER.
From Mr. Grunsky's report we quote the following:
"What element of value the lands on which the gravel beds of
Sunol and the artesian wells near Pleasanton are located may have
acquired by reason of water development is difficult to answer with any
degree of precision, particularly in view of the fact that in the one case
the value depends upon the amount of water obtained and permanently
obtainable, and in the other largely upon the permanent serviceability
of the natural filter."
In his report Mr. Marsden Manson says:
"One other factor of moment which this office has not been able
to consider is the value of the Alameda system as a permanent supply,
which has only been brought out by continued use."
In the time that I have been able to give to this matter, I cannot under-
stand how your present engineer arrives at his estimate of value, particularly
as I understand it is based on Mr. Grunsky's estimate. In his report dated
January 30, 1903, Mr. Grunsky gives an estimated value of $28,024,389. Only
for the purposes of rate fixing, let us consider his estimates of value. The Penin-
sula water system is valued by Mr. Grunsky at $9,945,458: the Alameda creek
system, at $4,554,483. Both systems, as at present developed, supply about
the same amount of water. The basic value of the Peninsula system is much
greater at this time. Is it not a very reasonable assumption of value to add
$4,000,000 as the value of the proved serviceability of the Alameda creek
system ?
Another large element of value, which I will not take into consideration
here, is the demand which now exists, and which did not exist in 1903, for the
water of the Alameda creek system in Oakland and elsewhere at prices larger
than could be obtained here and at a smaller distributing cost. The basic value
of the Peninsula system has increased owing to the known increase in value
1238
WATER RATES
of land on the peninsula between this city and San Jose for residental and
other purposes. One of the basic elements of Mr. Grunsky's estimate is 17, '233
acres of land appraise'd at $60 per acre. The holdings of the Spring Valley
Water Company in this watershed are now very much greater, but we will
assume only 17,233 acres. These lands are now worth more than $300 per
acre, a difference in basic value between then and now of $4,135,920. Since
1901 the company has made capital expenditures amounting to $3,189,501.30;
deducting from this the capital expenditures for 1902, (which, I assume, was
covered in Mr. Grunsky's report dated January 30, 1903,) amounting to $678,-
478.25, we have $2,511,023.05.
SUMMARY.'
City Engineer Grunsky's estimate of value January, 1903 $28,024,389.00
Demonstrated value of Alameda creek system 4,000,000.00
Increased value on only 17,233 acres 4,135,920.00
Capital expenditures since January, 1903 2,511,023.05
Deduct office lot in San Francisco.
$38,671,332.05
750,000.00
$37,921,332.05
The above estimate of nearly thirty-eight million dollars is made by using
the valuation placed by the city's own engineer in 1903 and applying that
valuation to conditions known to exist in 1909, but does not take into con-
sideration higher estimates considered conservative by other engineers in 1901
and 1903, nor other important elements of increased value existing in the year
1909.
We trust the Supervisors will learn how the estimate of value of approxi-
mately $25,000,000 was reached by the present Assistant City Engineer and
recently filed for your consideration.
Respectfully,
SPRING VALLEY WATER COMPANY.
By W. B. BOURN, President.
ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATIONS FILED.
Prior to the rendition of reports by the Water Rates Committee the follow-
ing communications were received from the Spring Valley Water Company:
San Francisco, Cal., March 5, 1909.
To the Water Rates Committee of the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of
the City and County of San Francisco.
Hon. James A. Johnston, Chairman.
Dear Sir: — I have just discovered what is evidently an unintentional
mistake, for I can readily appreciate that members of the Oity Government are
often rushed owing to the multiplicity of their duties.
In his report to the Board of Supervisors dated February 2, 1909, the
Chief Assistant Engineer states:
"Since 1901 all estimates of the valuation of the Spring Valley
Water Company property which have been submitted by your Honorable
Board to the Board of Supervisors have been based upon the compre-
WATER RATES 1239
hensive estimate made during 1900-1901, under the direction of your
Board, by City Engineer C. E. Grunsky. In addition to the above
estimate, City Engineer Grunsky submitted estimates to your Board
on January 31, 1902; -January 30, 1903, and January 26, 1904.
"A recapitulation of the estimate of January 26, 1904, is as fol-
lows :
Then follows a correct citation from Mr. Grunsky 's estimate.
I again quote from the Chief Assistant Engineer's report:
"In January, 1908, City Engineer Marsden Manson estimated the
value of the works in use at $24,925,321;"
and he uses this amount as the basis of his summary, from which amount is
deducted $750,000 for the now unused office lot and building.
City Engineer Marsden Manson' s report, dated February 18, 1908, starts
with Mr. Grunsky 's estimate as a basis, and then states:
' 'Accepting the estimated value approved by the Board of Super-
visors in 1907 of $24,569,828."
Turning to this report, dated February 15, 1907, and signed by City En-
gineer Thos. P. Woodward, I find no mention is made of Mr. Grunsky 's report,
but probably that report was used as a basis. By an examination of this report
of the City Engineer of February 15, 1907, we learn that the following deduc-
tions were made :
Peninsula System —
Less estimated value of pipe line destroyed by earthquake of
April 18, 1906, about $ 300,000
City Distributing System —
Less estimated value of damage by earthquake of April 18, 1906
about 200,000
This estimate also leaves out the valuation of the office lot of 750,000
As the damage by the earthquake to the city distributing system has been
repaired and an independent line laid to replace the old Pilarcitos line, these
deductions should be restored. As the estimated value of the office lot has
been deducted twice, $750,000 should be added.
These items alone amount to $1,250,000
I understand the 1906 appraisement by the City Engineer was $25,450,327.
This report I have not. The appraisement dated January 26, 1905, was $25,-
001,441, which brings us back to Mr. Grunsky's year. In his report dated
January 30, 1903, Mr. Grunsky estimates the value at $28,024,389. Included
in this estimate was the following:
Value due to fact that business is established $1,400,000
Suggested allowance for franchise value 2,500,000
Since that report these two vital elements of value have been eliminated.
Very truly yours,
W. B. BOURN, President.

WATER BATES
San Francisco, Cal., March 15, 1909.
To the Water Rates Committee of the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of
the City and County of San Francisco. . .
Gentlemen: — Herewith I beg to enclose the annual report of the share-
holders of the Spring Valley Water Company. This report contains in full your
letter of December 9, 1908, and our recommendations in reference thereto.
I desire to emphasize the necessity that we think exists for the creation
of a new foundation that may ultimately lead to the owning by the municipality
of its water supply, and, pending that, the development by the Spring Valley
Water Company of an ample water supply . for this community. The corner-
stone of that foundation can be laid by the fixing of rates that can be accepted
by this company.
I am convinced that the rates we asked for in our letter to the Board of
Supervisors, dated February 8, 1909, are less than rates the company is justly
entitled to, as larger expenditures for maintenance, repairs and replacements
to the plant than I have heretofore estimated should be made. Those rates,
however, will be accepted.
If the rates asked for are fixed and continued for the fiscal year 1910-11,
and the litigation over last year's rate terminated, the management will limit
dividends to shareholders for the calendar year 1909 to two dollars per share,
and will, within two years, make such additions to plant as will enable it to
deliver at least 40,000,000 gallons of water daily into the City and County of
San Francisco. Yours very truly,
W. B. BOURN, President.
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE SPRING VALLEY WATER COM-
PANY, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, FOR THE YEAR ENDING
DECEMBER 31, 1908.
San Francisco, March 11, 1909.
To the Shareholders of the Spring Valley Water Company :
Herewith you will find the balance sheets of the company for the years
ending December 31, 1907, and December 31, 1908; also profit and loss ac-
counts for the fiscal years 1907 and 1908.
All repairs and replacements made necessary by the earthquake and fire
have been made and the stock assessment account closed. Expenditures on this
account amounted to $611,336.31, leaving a balance of $228,663.69 to the credit
of shareholders. In the accounts the assessment of $840,000 has been, treated
as a stock assessment. It is doubtful if this method of accounting is just to the
shareholders. The possibility remains of its being treated as an extraordinary
capital expenditure. The accounts for 1908 show, on the old method: of ac-
counting, a profit of $561,378.14. From this amount your directors ordered
the charging of $280,000 to depreciation and contingent funds, leaving the net
revenue $281,378.14.
The total number of ratepayers April 18, 1906, was 53,560. The rate-
payers on January 1, 1909, numbered 51,177, an increase for the year 1908
of 3,882, Of the ratepayers 8,274 have bills of one dollar or less per month,
the average for these ratepayers being sixty-four cents per month.
The plant of the company has been maintained in a high state of efficiency,
but in the not far distant future abnormal repairs and replacements must be
made. Conditions which now appear to have become established in San Fran-
cisco indicate the practicability of changes in plant that may be undertaken,
WATER EATES 1241
when municipal conditions Avarrant, which will inmire to the benefit of the com-
munity by enabling the management to perform its duty more economically.
Recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States have laid at rest
many questions that have heretofore disturbed the management. The company
must endeavor to maintain rates that will enable it from earnings to create a
fund for depreciation and contingencies and to properly repair, maintain and
replace every component part of the structural plant.
It may reasonably be expected that regular quarterly dividends will be
resumed this month at the rate of two per cent per annum on the par value of
the stock, $100 per share, the equiAralent of fifty cents per share per quarter.
This is far from a fair and reasonable return on the present value of the prop-
erty used in supplying the City and County of San Francisco with Avater.
To obtain just rates the management will perform its duty to the com-
munity and to the company by relying upon all its constitutional rights if the
public agency to which legislative power has been delegated fails to do its part.
We have reason to believe that under the laws and conditions which control
the operation of the company, a return to shareholders of seven per cent per
annum on the value of the property used in rendering service will be deemed
.lust and reasonable. During the calendar year a decision of the 1903 rate
case may be expected.
The following quotations from decisions rendered January 4, 1909, by the
Supreme Court of the United States bear directly on existing conditions in San
Francisco and are therefore of great moment to the company:
[From Consolidated Gas Case.]
''In an investment in a gas company, such as complainant's, the
risk is reduced almost to a minimum. It is a corporation, which, in
fact, as the court below remarks, monopolizes the gas service of the
largest city in America, and is secure against competition under the
circumstances in which it is placed, because it is a proposition almost
unthinkable that the City of New York would, for purposes of making
competition, permit the streets of the city to be again torn up in order
to allow the mains of another company to be laid all through them to
supply gas which the present company can adequately supply. And, so
far as it is given us to look into the future, it seems as certain as any-
thing of such a nature can be, that the demand for gas will increase,
and, at the reduced price, increase to a considerable extent. An interest
in such a business is as near a safe and secure investment as can be
'imagined with regard to any private manufacturing business, although
it is recognized at the same time that there is a possible element of
risk, even in such a business. The court below regarded it as the most
favorably situated gas business in America, and added that all gas
business is inherently subject to many of the vicissitudes of manufac-
turing. Under the circumstances, the court held that a rate which
would permit a return of six per cent would be enough to avoid the
charge of confiscation, and for the reason that a return of such an
amount was the return ordinarily sought and obtained on investments
of that degree of safety in the City of New York.
"Taking all facts into consideration, Ave concur with the court
below on this qxiestion, and think complainant is entitled to six per cent
on the fair value of its property devoted to the public use.
''If the property, which legally enters into the consideration of the
question of rates, has increased in value since it was acquired, the
company is entitled to the benefit of such increase.''
1242 WATER RATES
[From Knoxville Water Case.]
"The cost of reproduction is one way of ascertaining the present
value of a plant like that of a water company, but that test would lead
to obviously incorrect results, if the cost of reproduction is not dimin-
ished by the depreciation which has come from age and use.
"A water plant, with all its additions, begins to depreciate in value
from the moment of its use. Before coming to the question of profit
at all the company is entitled to earn a sufficient sum annually to pro-
vide not only for current repairs, but for making good the depreciation
and replacing the parts of the property when they come to the end of
their life. The company is not bound to see its property gradually
waste, without making provision out of earnings for its replacement.
It is entitled to see that from earnings the value of the property in-
vested is kept unimpaired, so that at the end of any given term of
years the original investment remains as it was at the beginning. It
is not only the right of the company to make such a provision, but it
is its duty to its bond and stockholders, and, in the case of a public
service corporation at least, its plain duty to the public. If a different
course were pursued the only method of providing for replacement of
property which has ceased to be useful would be the investment of new
capital and the issue of new bonds or stocks. This course would lead
to a constantly increasing variance between present value and bond
and stock capitalization — a tendency which would inevitably lead to
disaster either to the stockholders or to the public, or both. If, how-
ever, a company fails to perform its plain duty and to exact sufficient
returns to keep the investment unimpaired, whether this is the result
of unwarranted dividends upon over-issues of securities, or of omission
to exact proper prices for the output, the fault is its own.
* * * * * * *
"Regulation of public service corporations, which perform their
duties under conditions of necessary monopoly will occur with greater
and greater frequency as time goes on. It is a delicate and dangerous
function, and ought to be exercised with a keen sense of justice on the
part of the regulating body, met by a frank disclosure on the part of
the company to be regulated. The courts ought not to bear the whole
burden of saving property from confiscation, though they will not be
found wanting where the proof is clear. The legislatures and subordi-
nate bodies, to whom the legislative power has been delegated, ought .
to do their part. Our social system rests largely upon the sanctity of
private property, and that State or community which seeks to invade
it will soon discover the error in the disaster which follows. The slight
gain to the consumer, which he would obtain from a reduction in the
rates charged by public service corporations, is as nothing compared
with his share in the ruin which would be brought about by denying to
private property its just reward, thus unsettling values and destroying
confidence. On the other hand, the companies to be regulated will find
it to their lasting interest to furnish freely the information upon which
a just regulation can be based."
In order that the present may be better understood, a review of the past
seems necessary. Much has been said in the daily press and elsewhere during
the past year relating to the water supply of San Francisco. The troubles of
the community and the troubles of the company are political; they are not
physical.
From January, 1897, until January, 1902, James D. Phelan was Mayor.
Since his incumbency his antagonism to the company and his political activities
\VATEE EATES 1243
have continued. In 1897 a cut was made in rates to private consumers of ap-
proximately twenty per cent. In 1901 another cut Avas made in rates to private
consumers of approximately ten per cent, and in 1903 a further cut of about
seven per cent was attempted, but its enforcement was enjoined. In 1906 still
another cut in private rates was attempted. The 1906 rate was again passed
by the Supervisors in 1907, but its enforcement was enjoined. For six years
prior to 1901 the hydrant rate was five dollars per month, aggregating ap-
proximately $220,000 per year. In 1901 the hydrant rate was arbitrarily cut
to $80,000. In 1902 the rate for hydrants was fixed at two dollars per month,
and in 1904 was cut to one dollar per month. In 1908 the hydrant rate was
increased to two dollars and a half per month and the 1902 rate passed, but
enjoined.
It is within the knowledge of all that since 1902 the cost of every element
entering into the operating expense of any company or business, or of any
household, has greatly increased. No allowance has ever been made by any
Board of Supervisors for depreciation or contingent funds.
In 1908 no consideration was given to
Increased taxes;
Increased operating expense;
Capital expenditures since 1902;
Depreciation and contingent funds.
To be just to the present Board of Supervisors it must be stated that since
the enjoinment of the rates passed in 1903 the management of the company
collected the 1902 rates and until last year did not make, in my opinion, suffi-
cient effort to have those rates increased. Due consideration was not given
by the management of the company to the great increase in operating expenses
and to approved methods of accounting.
At the request of the city, large investments were made by the company
for hydrant purposes, and in 1895 it was explicitly understood that a five-dollar
hydrant rate should be maintained as a return to the company for these invest-
ments. This rate was maintained until 1901. The following table shows the
return from the city to the company from 1900:
Due Amount

On March 19. 1900, the Board of Supervisors passed Resolution No. 207,
which received the approval of Mayor Phelan. the purport of the resolution
being a request to the company "to offer for sale to the City and County of
San Francisco on or before the first day of June, 1900. at the lowest possible
cost, all of its property now used or capable of being used for supplying water
to the inhabitants of the City and County of San Francisco."
1244 WATER RATES
The resolution contained the following:
"The Spring Valley Water Company is also requested to bear in
mind that any over-valuation of its water system will compel the people
of San Francisco to look elsewhere for their water supply, and the
withdrawing of San Francisco as a market for the sale of the company's
water will reduce the value of the company's lands to what they are
worth for agricultural purposes merely."
The company's answer contained a suggestion for a Board of Arbitration
to determine the value of the property.
In a letter dated December 9, 1908, from the Water Rates Committee of
the Board of Supervisors, it was stated:
"If an offer to sell your properties is not received within a reason-
able time your silence on the subject might be regarded as meaning
that you do not wish to sell. In that event the people may decide to
go ahead with independent construction of storage and distributing
systems to be used in connection with the supplies from Hetch Hetchy
and Lake Eleanor."
If the legal attitude assumed by the municipality is correct, we will admit
that it has the power to destroy. But it is not consistent for the buyer to
proclaim good faith and express a desire to purchase "at such a price as the
city would be justified in paying therefor," and then demand the property at
a price based upon its alleged power of destruction.
You have been informed that in 1907 the property was offered to the
municipality through the Federated Water Comimttee for approximately thirty-
two million dollars. During the rate fixing period of 1908 the Board of Super-
visors requested that a price be placed on the property.
After the earthquake in 1906, the management of the company was thrust
upon Captain A. H. Payson. Against his will he assumed the presidency. On
behalf of the shareholders I here desire to acknowledge the great debt that the
company owes to his efficiency and straightforwardness. In the light of today
the past is easily forgotten. The community as well as the company should do
honor to the part that was played by Captain Payson in restoring the water
supply of San Francisco.
When offers for a sale were solicited, as no one desired to take up the
burden of management ; as an element of doubt existed in the minds of many
as to the future of the company, and also of San Francisco; as the financial
conditions of the city and country paralyzed the finances of the company and
the market for its bonds had disappeared; as bondholders would have been glad
to have been relieved of what they then viewed an unmarketable investment:
as shareholders, with a remembrance of the treatment the company had received
for some years past, were in grave doubt as to the possibility of protecting what
they deemed their rights, the management offered the property to the municipal-
ity for approximately thirty-two million dollars.
Under date of April 13, 1908, the president wrote the Special Committee
of the Board of Supervisors on Water Supply as follows:
"* * * the directors will recommend to the stockholders the
sale of the property to the city for the face value of the issued bonds
and the outstanding stock, * * * These are positively the lowest
terms at which the directors will recommend to the stockholders the
sale of the property, and if it is to be purchased by the city, it may
as we.ll be taken for granted, once and for all, that these are the best
terms on which it can be obtained. I have repeatedly stated to you
that the directors and stockholders firmly believe that this price is
WATER RATES 1245
far below the actual value of the property, but considerations, which
have been stated and made plain to you, have induced a willingness
on their part to dispose of the property on these terms.''
We quote from a letter dated May 14, 1908, addressed by the President
to the Special Committee on Water Supply:
''The offer made for the sale was made in good faith, has been
practically assented to by the stockholders, and undoubtedly will be
carried out on their part should the city show a disposition to meet
them with similar evidence of its own good faith. Your committee has
had this matter under advisement for a long time. It has probably
formed an opinion as to the desirability or undesirability of acquiring
the property on the terms proposed. We think it is not unreasonable
to ask that you give us some evidence of your attitude toward the
proposition before we call upon the stockholders to take formal action.
I have heretofore said to you, and I cannot too strongly repeat it, that
the stockholders consider the price named far below the actual value of
the property.''
We further quote from the record of this year's proceedings before the
Board of Supervisors in the matter of fixing water rates:
' 'We had an offer last year from Captain Payson to sell that plant
to us, and we could have bought that plant for $32,000,000.
"He (Captain Payson) told us distinctly the Spring Valley Water
Company's property was on the bargain counter.
"He told us distinctly that the property was on the bargain counter
for very obvious reasons.
"He sat in that chair and made the statement at least half a dozen
times,'' (referring to the statement that the property would be sold
for the face value of the stocks and bonds.)
On June 22, 1908, after rates deemed confiscatory were passed, the offer
of sale made by the company was withdrawn.
Formal and informal requests for the company to name a price have since
been made. It would be of no avail to name a price unless that price met with
the approval of a two-thirds majority of voters, and we have felt that the atti-
tude of the Supervisors left no hope for agreeing on a price that would be
accept able to both parties. New light on the matter of value may be expected
when a decision is rendered in the 1903 rate case now pending for many years.
Supervisors should know that had the offer of the company to sell its
property been accepted, it would have been carried out in good faith. They
were probably warranted in endeavoring to purchase the property for less, but,
having failed to act upon the offer, it is not honest for any representative of the
city to attempt to discredit the good faith of the company in making it. In
future the creation of a proper foundation that may lead to the purchase of the
property must be made by the administration of the city, and it will be met in
good faith by the management of the company.
We are informed by our legal advisers that the proceedings heretofore
taken by the municipality in reference to the so-called Hetch Hetchy water
system are illegal. We are also advised that the property of the company must
be purchased by the City and County of San Francisco if it desires to own its
water supply, and we believe the municipality will be unable to enter into com-
petition with the company. Should it become necessary, we will endeavor to
maintain that position in the courts. The Board of Supervisors, with recent
decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States before it, as 'well as evi-
dence presented by the management of mistakes made by the City Engineer in
1246 WATER RATES
his valuation of the company's property, may establish rates that can be ac-
cepted.
Representatives of the municipal administration have stated that for many
years the city has been endeavoring to own its water supply. The policy of
making the water supply of San Francisco a political football is not to the best
interests of the community. Until a destructive policy is replaced by a con-
structive policy, until negotiations are carried on in good faith, the city will
remain without ownership of its water supply. This company recognizes its
duty to the community. The administration of the water supply of San Fran-
cisco is a public trust. We deem the interests of the community prior in right
to the interests of ownership.
While private ownership exists, service to the public must be upon the
condition that the property embarked in the service is properly protected. The
protection of property rights is a duty. The demagogue may have his day, but
the politician or the legislative body that fails to recognize this fundamental
right is an enemy to the best interests of any community. Halftruths, the armor
of demagogues, are worse than lies. Inefficiency may be worse in its effect
upon a community than dishonesty. Dishonesty is more or less tangible ; in-
efficiency, subtle in its results, cancerous.
Boards of Supervisors should so perform their duty to the Spring Valley
Water Company as to enable the company to perform its duty to the community.
If water rates are made that are less than fair and just, the company cannot
perform its duty and, therefore, such action is unjust to the community.
"It is a misguided policy which totally fails to achieve any results for good,
yet accomplishes an infinite amount of harm."
Additional investment will be made in the City and County of San Fran-
cisco whenever a foundation is laid that will justify it. The Calaveras dam
will be built when contracts for the sale of water will warrant.
The policy of the management will be to develop the resources of the com-
pany and extend its field of operation. The market now exists, and we will
endeavor to siipply the demand.
Since October, 1865, Mr. Hermann Schussler has devoted his able brain
fend his untiring energy to the creation of a water supply for San Francisco.
Over forty years he has spent in economically securing the best reservoir sites,
the best sources of supply, riparian rights, watersheds, rights of way and every-
thing that could suggest itself to a most able engineer. It does not require an
expert on value to realize that property thus acquired must have enormously
increased in value. The actual expenditures for holdings and plant during the
past forty years amounts to over twenty-eight million dollars. January 30, 1903,
City Engineer Grunsky estimated its value at $28,024,389; since then capital
expenditures amounting to $2,589,167 have been made. Large elements of
value were eliminated by Mr. Grunsky, and since his original estimate of value
was made in 1901, there has been a very great increase in basic and other
values. The value of the property is estimated at from $48,000,000 to $52,-
000,000.
The policy of the management that prevailed some years ago of keeping
the resources of the company from public knowledge is in some degree respon-
sible for existing conditions. That policy exists no longer. Representatives of
civic .associations, representatives of the public, and all those who desire, will
be affoiMed opportunity to learn for themselves all matters pertaining to the
water supply of San Francisco. When knowledge takes the place of prejudice
and misrepresentation, we have full confidence that the existing water supply of
.San Francisco will become a source of pride to the community, which will then
pay the tribute to Mr. Schussler that his work deserves.
The plant, is now developed to supply San Francisco with 35,000.000
gallons per day, and this delivery can be quickly increased to more than 40.000,-
000 gallons per day. The water division can now supply more than 50.000.000
WATER BATES 1247
gallons per day, and the resources now owned by the company can supply a
demand of a daily delivery of more than 125,000,000 gallons. On March 1st
of this year a supply of water sufficient to last the city for four years was
available without another drop of rain during that period.
Mr. Schussler's life work has become to him his child. Phelanism, Buefism,
earthquake and fire have been incidents in its growth. It is our duty to en-
deavor to rear his creation into vigorous manhood.
It will be our hope that time will remove prejudice, correct misrepresenta-
tions and establish friendly relations with municipal administrations to the end
that communities may receive an abundant supply of water and the company
attain low rates for consumers and security for investing shareholders.
Herewith is a copy of a letter received from the Water Rates Committee
of the Board of Supervisors. In connection therewith, we beg to recommend
that you execute and return the enclosed proxy as an indorsement of the policy
of the management, briefly outlined as follows:
1. Complete publicity in all affairs pertaining to water supply and ac-
counts.
2. The upholding of all constitutional rights.
3. To meet the city authorities in an endeavor to lay a foundation to
determine :
(a) A price for an immediate sale;
(b) A price under different degrees of development;
(c) An agreed price with agreed return plus cost of development
under option for sale to the city for a fixed period;
(d) A price for the sale of distributing plant in San Francisco with
a contract for the sale of water to the municipality.
4. To allow the value of the property to be determined by submitting the

WATER RATES
San Francisco, February 19, 1909.
Spring Valley Water Company, San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sirs: — We have examined the books and accounts of the Spring Valley
Water Company for the year ending December 31, 1908, and certify that the
attached balance sheet and profit and loss account, being copies of those ac-
companying the letter of the company to the Board of Supervisors of the City
and County of San Francisco, dated February 8, 1909, and correctly prepared
therefrom.
During the year only actual additions have been charged to Capital Asset
Accounts, replacements on account of the earthquake and fire of April, 1906,
have been charged against the fund raised from the stock assessment and ordi-
nary repairs and renewals have been charged to operating expenses. The charge
of $260,000 for depreciation and obsolescence is in our opinion a conservative
allowance, but if it is desired to provide for contingencies which might affect
the income of this company the provision of $20,000 appears to us to be ex-
tremely small.
An actual physical inventory of Material, Supplies and Stable equipment
taken at December 31, 1908, and valued at cost prices showed a figure slightly
in excess of the amount stated in the balance sheet.
The bills receivable were examined by us and the amounts due from con-
sumers were checked with the registers.
The cash on hand and in bank was verified by us and subject to the fact
that dividend checks, amounting to $27,652.24, issued in excess of the amount
paid in to the dividend account with the bank had not been deducted from the
cash in bank, was found correct. The liability for unpaid dividends, included
in current liabilities, is overstated by a similar amount so that the net result is
not affected by this difference.
So far as we could ascertain all known liabilities were brought on to the
books at December 31, 1908, but no provision has been made for any contingent
liability on account of collections and charges made by the company in excess
of the rates fixed by the Board of Supervisors.
Subject to these remarks we certify that the balance sheet is properly
drawn xip so as to show the true financial position of the company at December
31, 1908, and that the relative profit and loss account is a fair and correct
statement of the net earnings for the fiscal year ending that date.
Yours very truly,
PRICE, WATERHOUSE & CO.,
Chartered Accountants.
OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 9, 1908.
Spring Valley Water Co., 375 Sutter St., San Francisco, Cal.
Gentlemen: We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 3d inst.,
signed W. B. Bourn, President.
One thing your letter makes clear and that is that there seems very little
hope of our agreeing on the fixing of rates.
The Hetch Hetchy election to which you refer must have convinced you,
as it has convinced us, of the determination of the people of this city to acquire,
own and operate their own waterworks. They have decided by a vote of 6 to 1
in favor of Hetch Hetchy Valley and Lake Eleanor as sources of supply. It is
the belief of many that they will also favor the purchase of the properties of
the Spring Valley Water Company if the properties are offered at a fair price
WATEE RATES 1251
and offered promptly. If an offer to sell your properties is not received within
a reasonable time your silence on the subject might be regarded as meaning
that you do not wish to sell. In that event the people may decide to go ahead
with independent construction of storage and distributing systems to be used in
connection with the supplies from Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor.
The wishes of the people as expressed at the election November 12, 1908,
are regarded by us as a mandate to proceed as speedily as is consistent with
thoroughness with all plans, having for their object the ownership of water-
works by the municipality. Such being the case we do not favor any action
that might have a tendency to perpetuate private ownership, thus defeating the
will of the people; therefore this Committee does not think that the presence
of two Supervisors on the Board of Directors of the Spring Valley Water Com-
pany would be in the interest of public policy and will therefore recommend
against it.
Reduced to a simple statement the position of the Board of Supervisors
is as follows : To proceed without unnecessary delay to the purchase or con-
struction of a waterworks to be owned and managed by the Municipality. In
accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 505 (New Series )you were
so notified. You were given opportunity to offer your properties for sale to
the City if you so desired. On September 15, 1908, the Public Utilities Com-
mittee directed your attention to Ordinance No. 505 (New Series) affording you
another opportunity to negotiate with the City.
At this time the Water Rates Committee asks the question — Do you wish
to sell the properties of the Spring Valley Water Company now used in supply-
ing water to the City and County of San Francisco to the City and County?
We respectfully request that you place this matter before your stockholders
in such a way that every stockholder in your Company may have ample oppor-
tunity to decide what course will be best, in view of all the circumstances, for the
Company to pursue.
Yours truly,

of San Francisco.
San Francisco, Cal., April 16, 1909.
Mr. John E. Behan, Clerk, Board of Supervisors, 70 Eddy Street, City.
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find copies of letters that I have this day sent
to the City Attorney and to the Chairman of the Water Rates Committee. It
is impossible for us to get copies of these letters to every individual member
of the Board, as we have heretofore endeavored to do in our correspondence.
May I beg to request that you will place this letter in the hands of each mem-
ber of the Board?
Yours very truly,
W. B. BOURN, President.
April 16, 1909.
Percy V. Long, Esq., City Attorney.
417 Grant Building, San Francisco.
Dear Sir: I beg to enclose copy of letter that I have this day sent to the
Chairman of the Water Rates Committee of the Board of Supervisors.
In reference thereto we have represented to the Board of Supervisors that
abnormal expenditures are absolutely necessary in the not far distant future for
WATER RATKS
the purpose of repairing or maintaining our Locks Creek and Apanolio water
supply.
After the earthquake the Pilarcitos supply was restored, but the system
changed. That supply is now delivered in Lake San Andreas, the result being:
that, as a constant supply of fresh water pours into the lake, the quality of all
the water contained in that lake is greatly improved. In restoring the Locks
Creek system, we propose to divert the water into Crystal Springs Lake, thds
giving that large body of water a constant daily supply of spring water, which
we know will be very beneficial.
In its entirety, the restoration of this Locks Creek system is not a capital
expenditure. It is a repair and replacement or a maintenance charge. Some
necessary changes to the system we believe our Trustee will permit us to regard
;ts a capital expenditure. It makes no difference to us how these charges are
made as long as we can satisfy differences of opinion and agree with the city
authorities and the Trustee of our bonds. Bonds can only be issued for capital
charges.
Should the city ever acquire the property of the Spring Valley Water Coin
-pany, this Locks Creek water supply will be of enormous value, and therefore
it is to the direct interest of the city to work in harmony with us in restoring
this supply.
May I beg you to take such steps as will satisfy yourself in all matters
pertaining to legal or engineering questions in reference to this note, so that
the Board of Supervisors may be fully informed on all matters pertaining to
this vital question.
I beg to remain,
Your obedient servant.
W. U. I'.Ol-RX. President.
April 16, 1909.
To the Water Rates Committee of the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Hon. James A. Johnston, Chairman.
Dear Sir: I have read with interest the stenographic report of the pro-
ceedings before the Board of Supervisors in the matter of fixing water rates,
on Monday, April 5, 1909.
I cannot but he impressed ilia! where two parties to a controversy are
honest in their intentions, means can be found by which those parties can get
together. To that end I respectfully surest lli-n the i'.Kird of Supervisors of
San Francisco will, in an informal conference, mee! representatives o1' the Spring
Valley Water Company, the object of thai meeting being the fixing of r.ites
that can be accepted by this company. It is my firm belief thai if that founda-
tion is once laid, we can then, in harmonious co-opera.tion. devise means by
which the city of San Francisco may own and administer its own water sup"
At the request of your committee, your letter dated December !). 1!>OS. was
placed before the shareholders of the Spring Valley Water Company. At the
annual meeting held on April 14, 1909, over 230,000 shares of stock of a total
issue of 280,000 shares were represented. The policy outlined by the manage-
ment and contained in the annual report, copy of which was sent to you. was
unanimously endorsed. Steps were taken to increase the number of direciors
to thirteen and to provide for an executive committee of three. This executive
committee will have full power to treat with the city authorities in all matters
pertaining to a sale of the company's property. On Monday next it is expected
that Captain A. H. Payson. Mr. Antoine Morel and the undersigned will be
nppointed on this executive committee.
AVATE.E RATES
At the informal meeting which we now request, we expect to satisfactorily
(show that unless rates are made that can be accepted by the company, you
will make it impossible for us to proceed with negotiations that may lead to
a sale of the property. We expect also to show you that in many respects you
are mistaken when you state ''there have been no changes actually in the con-
ditions.' '
It is of vital importance to the community of San Francisco that the capacity
of the plant for delivering water into the city should be increased. It is also
of vital importance to this community that repairs, replacements or maintenance
of a portion of its system should immediately be made. In order to bring this
matter more directly to your attention, I am taking the liberty of writing the
City Attorney in reference thereto. At the meeting herein suggested we desire
to lay evidence before you that may impress you with the sincerity of our belief
that we are placing the interests and welfare of the community prior in right to
the interest of ownership.
With the hope that this informal conference may be arranged, I beg to
remain,
Your obedient servant,
W. B. BOURN, President.
San Francisco, Cal., April 19, 1909.
Hon. James A. Johnston. Chairman. Water Rates Committee.
Board of Supervisors, 70 Eddy Street, San Francisco.
Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your note of April 17th. Allow
me to express the earnest and sincere hope that water rates will be fixed for
the coming fiscal year that can be accepted by this company.
Referring to a communication, dated April 14, 1909, from the Clerk of the
Hoard of Supervisors: Allow me to bring to your attention and consideration
the fact that several members of the present Board of Supervisors were super-
visors during the years 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900, and that during those years
the hydrant rate was $5 per .month per hydrant.
We coincide with your view that the question of fixing rates should be dis-
posed of before other matters are considered, and in justice to this community
we request that before any action is taken over rates, an informal conference
be a rnnmvd between the Board of Supervisors and representatives of this com-
pany.
Very truly yours.
W. B. BOURN, President.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEE ON WATER RATES.
5 the majority of the Water Rates Committee, consisting of Snper-
n and Murphy, reported their conclusions to the Hoard as follows:
To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of the
City and County of San Francisco.
(ientlemen: Your Committee on 'Water Rates has considered all of the
testimony taken at the hearings of the Board sitting as a Committee of the
whole, all of the statements submitted by the officials of the Spring Valley
Water Company, all of the statements submitted by the officials of the City,
also an exhaustive report of an expert engaged to go over the books and
1254

accounts of the Spring Valley Water Company, in fact all matters having any
bearing on the question of fixing of water rates. After many meetings and much
consideration we have come to the conclusion that the water rate ordinance as
adopted by the Board for 1908-09 is in all essential particulars fair and reason-
able, and we therefore recommend that the rates as provided for in Ordinance
No. 486 (New Series), be continued for the fiscal year 1909-10, with the excep-
tion that Section 5 be amended by inserting the word ''private" before the
word "gardens" (in the first line) and by inserting the word "private" before
the word ''grounds" (in the second line).
Respectfully submitted,
J. A. JOHNSTON,
D. C. MURPHY,

BILL PASSED FOR PRINTING.
Thereupon the following proceedings were had on April 26, 1909:
Bill No. 857, Ordinance No. - - (New Series), entitled, "Regulating the
monthly rates of compensation to be collected by any person, company or corpora-
tion engaged in the business of supplying water to the inhabitants of the City
and County of San Francisco, for family uses, for private purposes, for municipal
uses and for all public purposes of said City and County for the year commencing
July 1, 1909, and ending June 30, 1910.
Supervisor McAllister moved to amend by increasing rates of private con-
sumers 15% and fixing the public hydrant rate at $5 per month.
Motion lost by the following vote:
Ayes — Supervisors Broderick, Comte, McAllister, Pollok, Rixford — 5.
Noes — Supervisors Bancroft, Booth, Center, Connolly, D'Ancona, Giannini,
Hocks, Jennings, Johnston, McLeran, Murdock, Murphy, Payot — 13.
Supervisor D'Ancona explained his vote by stating that he would consider
an advance 'in rates provided there was some promise given to the City by the
officials of the Spring Valley Water Company in the way of additional protection
from fire or water famine, but not otherwise.
Supervisor Murdock explained his vote by stating that the increased rates
would afford the Company an opportunity of providing much needed additional
water facilities.
Supervisor Pollok explained his vote by stating that it was his understanding
that for an increase of 15 per cent over private rates and a $5 hydrant rate
the company would bring in 5,000,000 additional gallons of water in two years
and would not pay more than 4 per cent to its stockholders.
Whereupon Bill No. 857, fixing water rates for the year 1909-1910, was
passed for printing by the following vote :
Ayes — Supervisors Bancroft, Booth, Center, Connolly, D'Ancona, Giannini,
Hocks, Jennings, Johnston, McLeran, Murphy, Payot — 12.
Xoes — Supervisors Broderick, Comte,* McAllister, Murdock, Pollok, Rix-
ford— 6.
Supervisor Connolly explained his vote by stating that he considered the
needs of a water supply in outlying districts of more importance than additional
fire protection.

Section 12. Prevention of waste or excessive use —
In no case where the fixed rates above provided, other than meter rates,

ing water.
Provided, however, that for the purpose of discovering and repressing
waste or excessive use, all persons, companies or corporations shall have the
right in all cases to apply and maintain meters to measure the water used or
consumed, and to charge and collect for waste or excessive use under the condi-
tion and to the extent hereafter provided in this section, and not otherwise.
No consumer shall be deemed guilty of waste or excessive use unless the
water used or consumed upon his premises in any month shall exceed by fifty
(50) per cent the number of cubic feet which at regular meter rates amount to
his rated bill, in which case such excess shall be deemed waste or excessive use.
Immediately after the discovery of any waste or excessive use the consumer
shall be notified thereof by the person, company or corporation supplying water
by notice mailed to his address or to the agent or person to whom his water
bills are presented for collection.
After such notice the consumer may be charged and there may be collected
from him for any waste or excessive use thereafter occurring upon his premises
at regular meter rates, but such charge or collection shall not exceed for the
first month the sum of two dollars ($2), for the second month the sum of four
dollars ($4), or for any following month the sum of five ($5) dollars.

Electrical Inspector of this city and county, to inquire into all cases of com-
plaints by water consumers as to charges made against them for waste or
excessive use under the foregoing provisions of this section, and to adjust such
charge as follows:
Any water consumer against whom a water bill is presented containing a
charge for waste or excessive use of water may within five days after such bill
is presented to him (provided that he first pay the fixed rate charged on such
bill, exclusive of the charge made for said alleged waste or excessive use) make
complaint to said inspector that such charge is incorrect, whereupon the said
inspector shall promptly inspect the premises of the consumer so complaining
and cause a test to be made of the water meter upon said premises, and from
such inspection and test and subsequent inspection and test as said inspector
may see fit and proper to make shall determine as near as can be the amount
of water used, consumed or wasted upon said premises during the period covered
by said bill. As soon as such determination is made and within twenty (20)
days after the said complaint is made, said inspector shall make a certificate
stating the amount of water so determined to have been used, consumed or wasted,
and showing the true and correct amount, if anything, which may be charged
and collected from said consumer under the foregoing provisions of this

section for waste or excessive use. ;md sliall immediately transmit such certificate
to the person, company or corporation supplying water, and also a copy thereof
by mail to the water consumer.
The said certificate shall be conclusive between the water consumer and
said person, company or corporation as to the amount, if anything, which said
person, company or corporation shall be entitled to collect from the consumer
for waste or excessive use of water during the period covered by the bill of which
complaint is made; provided, however, that if either the consumer or the water
company is dissatisfied with the certificate of the water inspector appeal may
be taken within five (5) days to the Committee on Water Kates of the Board
of Supervisors, which shall, within five days after such appeal, hear and finally
determine the matter in dispute.
The said inspector shall keep iu his office a proper record or records, showing
the date of each complaint made to him, the name of the consumer complaining,
the location of his premises, and stating briefly the inspection made by him
of the premises and the tests applied to the meter, the time or times of such
inspection and tests, and the results thereof, with the reading of the meter at
each test or inspection, and all other material facts connected therewith. Such
records so kept to be open for public examination in his office.

The following report on Operating Expenses of the Spring Valley Water
Company made by J. H. Dockweiler, Consulting Engineer, was made at the re-
quest of James A. Johnston, Chairman of the Water Rates Committee for the uses
of the Board of Supervisors in the matter of fixing water rates:
417-418 Grant Building.
San Francisco, Cul., March 24, 1909.
Hon. James A. Johnston, Chairman. Water Supply ^Committee,
Board of Supervisors. t-aii Francisco, Cal.
Sir:
Complying with your instructions that 1 examine the ''Spring Valley
Water Company Operating Expenses. 1908,'' as filed by said Company with the
Hoard of Supervisors of The City and County of San Francisco on February 2,
1909, and which was marked "Exhibit No. 3" by the Clerk of said Board, and
which Operating Expenses are set forth on Page '2 of said Exhibit No. 3, I have
the honor to submit the following report:
I proceeded to the office of the Spring Valley Water Company, 375 Sutter
Street, this City, and bewail work on Feb. 10th collecting data and information,
for this report. With the aid of my assistants the work of copying and check-
ing the records of the Company was continued to March 16th, inclusive, since
which time the records and data have been worked up in my office. During this
period I also examined the "Permanent Improvements, 1908," submitted by the
aforesaid Company, the report on which was handed you March 22, 1909.
I found that the vouchers and account books, of the Spring Valley Water
Company checked exactly with the statement of Operating Expenses hereinbe-
fore referred to. submitted by it to the Board of Supervisors.
The following is a copy of said statement:

54. Claim and Damage 591.75
55. Suburban Co. Operating Expense 6,677.19
$652,054.32
As a further result of my investigation of the books and vouchers of the
Spring Valley Water Company, I found that Operating Expenses are charged
with items aggregating $35,903.10, which in my judgment are not connected
with the supply of water to the City of San Francisco and its inhabitants, and
therefore are not properly chargeable against them.
These items are set forth in detail in the accounts to which charged, which
I have prepared; the list of said items is here set forth and are as follows:
EXPENSES SET OUT IN OPERATION CHARGES NOT CONNECTED WTITH
THE WATER SUPPLY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
Account 14 — Portola Reservoir, not in use $ 43.99
Account 27 — Calaveras Dam, not in use 845.17
Account 35 — Lobos Creek, not in use 2,923.84
Account 46 — Legal Department. This account has a special fee of
$5,000.00 charged to it, paid to Laidlow & Co., New York City,
and I am unable to see why it is charged to operation 5,000.00
WATER RATES 1263
Account 48 — General Expense:
April — Four items for advertisements of the Company's letters
to the Board of Supervisors, published in the Call, Chronicle,
Bulletin and Examiner, totaling 1,790.00
June — One item of printing of Company's letter to the Board of
Supervisors, one column, one time (Chronicle) 167.00
July — One item of lithographing profile of Spring Valley Water
Co. and Tuolumne 231.50
August^Two items for printing copies of "Water Supply" and
lithographing maps. This work was the printing of Mr.
Schussler's affidavit filed in the 1908-1909 Water Rate Suit 1,070.50
Account 50 — Water Rate Suit 2,339.24
Account 51 — Water Rate Suit, 1907-1908 636.32
.Account 52 — Water Rate Suit, 1908-1909 11,693.25
Account 53 — Pleasanton Wells Suit 2,485.10
These three accounts, 50, 51 and 52, are suits to enjoin the
water rates fixed by the Board of Supervisors. They should not
be allowed until the Court decides who is right, the Board of
Supervisors or the Water Company. Account 53 is a suit
brought against the Spring Yalley Water Company by the owners
of the Hop Yards at Pleasanton to prevent the Company from
taking water from its Pleasanton Wells plant, owing to alleged
damages caused by the lowering of the water in the Wells and
soil of the Hop Yards by such diversion of water.
Account 55 — Suburban Company Operating Expense:
This account covers lands not in use 6;677.l9
Total $ 35,903.10
Total Operating Charges submitted by the Spring Valley Water
Company '. $652,054.32
Items not chargeable to supplying water to the City of San
Francisco which should be deducted 35,903.10
Net Operating Charges $616,151.22
I further find that items for material and labor charged are difficult to
trace and understand after a year's time; hence it has been impossible, with the
time at my disposal, to finally determine the propriety of all items charged to
operating expenses.
Therefore I would respectfully suggest that a representative of the City
visit the properties of the Company and check the expenditures for both con-
struction and operation in the field, and keep in weekly touch with the Account-
ing Department. Such a person should render a monthly report showing in de-
tail all expenditures for operation, maintenance, renewals and construction. This
course will enable your Board to keep constantly informed as to expenditures,
and any questions which might arise as to their propriety could be determined
when the same are incurred. Information of great value in the annual fixing of
rates would thus be constantly on hand.
Mr. W. B. Bourn, President of Spring Valley Water Company, submitted to
me a comparative table of operation charges for the calendar years 1907 and
1908. This table is appended.
Not having been instructed to examine the details of the Operation Charges
for 1907, I am unable to make any comment, based upon a knowledge of com-
parative detailed expenditures for the two years. To properly compare the
operating expenses of one year with another, it is necessary to know the de-
tails which go to make up the different accounts. It is also essential to know
whether the accmints cover the same class of expenditures.

WATER RATES
TOTAL WATER DELIVERED AND PUMPED.
The total water delivered into San Francisco during the year 1908 amounted
to 11,570,613,936 gallons, which equals an average of 31,613,699 gallons daily.
The total water pumped during the same year equalled 11.052,049,931 gal-
lons or an average of 30,196,857 gallons per day.
The total receipts from all sources exclusive of sale of lot for the year
1908, (Page 7, Exhibit 7, filed by Spring Valley Water Company February 9.
1909) were $2,264,360.76. Dividing this same by the total water delivered
gives $195.70 per million gallons.
The total water delivered into San Francisco during the year 1907 was
11,190,461,064 gallons, an average of 30,658,797 gallons daily. The total water
pumped during the same period amounted to 11,463,269,479 gallons or an aver-
age of 31,406,217 gallons daily. (The apparent contradiction of more water
pumped than delivered into the city is accounted for by the fact that some of
the water is pumped twice.)
The total receipts from all sources for 1907, (Page 5, Exhibit 7, filed by
Spring Valley Water Company, February 9, 1909) were $1,917,167.82. Divid-
ing this sum by the total water delivered gives $171.32 per million gallons.
The cost of Operation, as submitted by the Company for 1908, divided by
the water delivered into the City of San Francisco amounts to $56.35 per million
gallons for 1908 and to $54.26 per million gallons for 1907.
RESUME.
1907 1908
Total gallons of water delivered into the
City of San Francisco 11,190,461,064 11,570,613,936
Average gallons per day 30,658,797 31,613,699
Average receipts per million gallons de-
livered into San Francisco $171.32 $195.70
Average cost of operation per million gal-
lons delivered into San Francisco .... $54.26 $56.35
Before an intelligent grasp of the conditions under which the City of San
Francisco is supplied with water, and the necessary expenditure for the Opera-
tion of the Spring Valley Water Company, which performs that service, can be
understood and compared, it is necessary to know how the said Company is
organized, how it is managed, how it is Operated and Maintained and finally how
it acquires its revenue.
I have set forth the organization of the Company, how administered and
with what corps of officers and assistants; how the plant has been built in the
past and is being extended at the present; how operated and maintained, and
the number of men incident to it all; likewise how the revenue is collected.
The present management became effective last quarter of 1908.
The affairs of the Spring Valley Water Company, a California corporation,
are conducted by a Board of seven Directors, elected by the 280,000 shares of
stock, which represent the $28,000,000.00 capitalization of said Company, in the
hands December 1, 1908, of 1570 Stockholders, which was number of checks
drawn in December, 1908, for the dividend paid to Stockholders. The present
Directors of the Company are as follows: W. B. Bourn, J. M. Quay, A. Borel,
1. W. Hellman, Jr., F. P. Anderson, H. S. King and A. H. Payson. These
Directors have elected as President, W. B. Bourn; Vice-President and Treas-
urer, J. M. Quay; Second Vice-President, I. W. Hellman, Jr. The remaining
offices are filled outside of the Directorate.
WATER BATES 1267
The Spring Valley Water Company is the successor to the Spring Valley
Water Works, which it bought out in September, 1903. The Spring Valley-
Works consolidated with the San Francisco Water Works in February,
1865. The two last named companies being in active competition before that
time. The San Francisco Water Works first introduced water into this City in
September, 1858, and the Spring Valley Water Works introduced it during' the
year 1861.
The Spring Valley Water Company's transactions can be classed under
three general headings:
Construction of the. Plant.
Operation and maintenance of the plant.
Collection of the revenues.
All of which are at present directed by the President, assisted by the fol-
lowing Executive Staff: Vice-President and Treasurer, Second Vice-President,
Assistant to the President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Auditor, Accountant,
and advised by the Chief Counsel and the Consulting Engineer.
The aggregate salary of the President and Executive Staff for December,
1908, amounted to $4,050.
The headquarters of all of the officials connected with the Executive De-
partment are at No. 375 Sutter Street, this City.
In addition to the above, the Executive Department carries the following
assistants: Two stenographers in the office of the President and the Auditor,
two draftsmen in the Engineer's Department, one telephone operator, two chaf-
feurs, two clerks in Land Department, and one elevator man, one clerk and two
janitors, which foiir last named take care of the office building.
The aggregate salary of these thirteen employes for December, 1908, was
$1,250, which added to the above, $4,050, gives a total of $5,300 per month for
the executive salary list.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE PLANT.
The acquisition of properties has been generally effected through the
agency of parties acting for the Company.
The late M. B. Kellogg, for many years Chief Counsel for the Company,
and connected with it for over thirty years, attended to the legal details inci-
dent to such transactions. It was his brain that conceived and organized the
Suburban Water Company, a Corporation whose stock is owned by the Spring
Valley Water Company. Through this Corporation and also by means of per-
sons acting as Trustees, the Spring Valley Water Company has bought and
acquired properties, the identity of which has never been disclosed to the City.
The purchase of these properties was made with money received from the
present outstanding Bonds. All of the charges for interest, taxes, maintenance
and repairs on property so purchased, have been paid from revenue received by
the Company from its customers and tenants.
The Construction has practically all been done by the Company itself at
day's work under the direct charge of its Chief Engineer, H. Schussler, who has
held that position continuously for over forty years. All property now owned
by the Company has been acquired through his advice. The office of Chief
Engineer was abolished in November, 1908, and Mr. Schussler was appointed
Consulting Engineer, which position he now holds.
All Construction at present comes under and is done by the Department
\n which the work is located. This will be now fully explained in treating the
"Operation and Maintenance of the Plant.'1
\V.\TKR RATKS
OPKRATIOX AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PLANT.
This work is divided into three departments known as the ''Water Divi-
sion," "City Distributing Department" and "Service and Meter Department."
In a general way the Water Division Bathers and delivers the water into the
City reservoirs; the Cily Distributing Department distributes the water through
tlie pipes which are laid in the Cily streets and the Service and Meter Depart-
ment lays the pipes from the street mains to the curbs by means of which the
consumers are supplied with water.
The following is a description of the Water Division Department:
WATER DIVISION DEPARTMENT.
The duty of collecting and delivering the water to the City Limits of San
Francisco is in charge of the Superintendent of the Water Division Department.
This Department has Constructing, Operating and Maintenance charge of all of
the Company's property in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and San Benito
Counties, aggregating of 5O,000 acres of land and includes everything owned
by the Company (except Lake Merced) outside of the City and County of San
Francisco which is used for supplying water. It contains the three Peninsula
reservoirs, Pilarcitos, San Andreas, and Crystal Springs: the entire Alameda
Creek System, which includes Pleasanton Wells and the Sunol Filter Beds: also
three pumping stations which are located at Belmont, Crystal Sprinus and
Millbrae, and also the Alameda Pipe Line, Crystal Springs Pipe Line. San
Andreas Pipe Line and the Lake Merced Branch of the San Andreas Pipe Line.
This department screens the water from Alameda Creek at the Niles Screen
House, situated at the mouth of Niles Canyon, and at which point is the be-
ginning of the 36-inch Alameda Pipe Line.
This water is forced by means of the Belmont Pumps into the City of San
Francisco. It also screens the water of the Pilarcitos and the San Andreas
Reservoirs at the outlet of the latter reservoir. It has charge of Warehouse
No. 3, located at Aqua Station, near the town of Millbrae. The force which
carried on the duties of the Water Division Department for December. 1908,
was as follows:
Headquarters located at Millbrae Station, known as Aqua, where are Sta-
tioned the following:
1 superintendent,
1 assistant superintendent,
•_' clerks,
1 foreman,
1 stableman,
1 meter man,
•J teamsters,
1 carpenter,
]2 laborers,
'2 cooks,
3 watchman for .Millbrae Station.

ment was constructing the 30-inch- Pipe Line from Pleasanton Wells to the
Sunol Filter Beds and was also changing the Alameda Creek Pipe Line to
accommodate the Southern Pacific Railroad Company at Newark and Center
ville.
The cost of the 30-inch Pipe Line was charged to Construction, and the
lowering of the Pipes was charged to the said Railroad Company. Two Fore-
men and 122 men handled all of this work. Part of the Superintendent's and
The t\vo Foremen's time was charged to these jobs.

CITY DISTRIBUTING DEPARTMENT.
The headquarters of this department are situated on the south side of
Bryant Street between 4th and 5th Streets, in this City. It was former! y
luiown as "Warehouse No. 1," also as "Pipe Yard," in past accounting of the
Company.
•This Department has Construction, Operating, and Maintenance charge of
all the Company's property within the limits of the City and County of San
Francisco, pertaining to the City Pipe Systems, Reservoirs and Pumping Sta-
tions. It also includes Lake Merced Ranch, lying in both San Mateo and San
Francisco Counties, and has charge of everything on said Ranch belonging to
the Company.
This Department contains five Pumping Stations, to-wit, City Pumps,
Ocean View Pumps, Black Point Pumps, Precita Valley Pumps, and Clarendon
Heights Pumps; ten Reservoirs and the lands surrounding them, to-wit, Lake
Merced, University Mound, College Hill, Lake Honda, Francisco Street, Lom-
bard Street, Clay Street Tank, Presidio Heights Tank, Clarendon Heights Tank,
and Potrero; 451 miles of Main Pipes laid in the City streets, and one short
•conduit line.
The City Distributing Department lays all Main Pipes over two inches in
diameter, sets all hydrants and resets the same when directed by the City,
furnishes all labor and material for repairs, renewals and construction within
the City and County of San Francisco limits (except for Service and Meter
Departments) ; also the mechanical requirements of the Shipping Department.
This Department receives from the Water Division at University
Mound Reservoir the water which comes from Alameda Creek and the
Crystal Springs Reservoir; and receives at College Hill Reservoir, City Pumps
and Ocean View Pumps the water which comes from San Andreas and Pilar-
citos Reservoirs. The distribution of this water throughout the City of San
Francisco, in addition to the water which this Department itself pumps from
Lake Merced, is done by this Department from the three principal receiving
reservoirs lying within the City limits and which are supplied by conduits from
sources of supply. These reservoirs are University Mound, College Hill and
Lake Honda.
All water which comes from San Andreas and Pilarcitos Reservoirs is
screened at the San Andreas Reservoirs by the Water Division. All water re-
ceived at the University Mound and Lake Honda Reservoirs is screened at
these Reservoirs. If the waters of Lake Merced should be pumped into the
San Andreas main, then said water would not be screened, as there is no screen
tank at College Hill Reservoir, but, pumped into Lake Honda, as it now is, it
is screened. From these three reservoirs, both by gravity flow and three pump-
ing stations, the water is delivered to the other six reservoirs within the City.
There are consumers of water on pipes leading from all of the Reservoirs.
This Department's jurisdiction stops with the pipes, or mains in the
streets over two inches in diameter, and has nothing to do with the pipes
which are laid from the mains to the consumer, which are called Service Pipes.
The force handling this department was, December, 1908, as follows:
Stationed at Bryant Street, between 4th and 5th:
1 Superintendent,
2 clerks,
1 general foreman,
3 pipe men and 1 assistant (2 pipe men stationed here and 1 pipe
man and assistant at Water Front),
3 gatemen arid 1 helper (2 gatemen on day duty are stationed here;
1 gateman and helper on night duty are stationed at Company's
office, 375 Sutter St.),
2 caulkers,
WATER BATES 1271
2 lead men,
24 laborers, who took care of all general work,
2 teamsters (All teams are hired, but the Company furnishes its own
drivers, unless extra teams are required).
The force under the General Foreman has been since reduced, so that at
present time, March, 1909, he has only eleven laborers, in addition to the other
help noted. This is the smallest in years, owing to the fact that practically no
pipe laying is being done, and all rehabilitation has been practically finished.
Stationed at the Pumping Station :
City Pumps, 10 men,
Black Point, 9 men,
Clarendon Heights, 9 men,
Precita Valley, 7 men,
Ocean View, 7 men.
Stationed at the Reservoirs:
6 men who screened the water;
4 keepers who looked after the Reservoirs.
The total force of this Department for December, 1908, consisted of one
Superintendent and ninety-six men, with a pay roll of $9,050.00.
SERVICE AND METER DEPARTMENT.
The Service and Meter Department was formerly known as Warehouse
No. 2 and has its headquarters in the basement of the present office building
at 375 Sutter Street.
Within the limits of the City and County of San Francisco, to which its
jurisdiction is confined, this Department has charge of and lays all service
mains two inches and less in diameter; installs and takes care of all meters,
of which there were 12,078 in use on January 1, 1909; installs all service
pipes and takes care of all leaks on service pipes and service mains two inches
in diameter or less. There were about 52,000 service pipes in use on January
1, 1909.
About 90 per cent, approximately, of the leaks reported are service leaks.
There are on an average of 90 leaks reported per week. The Water Company
places a stop cock on every service pipe just inside the curb, beyond which it
exercises no jurisdiction. If a leak occurs between the curb and an, owner's
premises, or upon the same, then the owner repairs the same.
The Service and Meter Department always responds to leak reports within
the City.
This Department set 3,085 meters and installed 3,904 new services during
the year 1908.
The work of this Department is divided into two classes: ''Maintenance
or Repairs" and "Construction." ,
The force handling this department in December, 1908, was as follows:
1 foreman, 2 clerks, and
Maintenance or Repairs:
1 tapper,
7 service men,
4 meter men,

COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE.
The collection of the revenue from the sale of water is handled by the
Chief Clerk through the medium of five so-called departments or branches.
Three of these branches, the Shipping Department, Contractors' and Build-
ers' Department and Collection Department collect the money.
The force employed by these three are as follows:

3 men and 2 single rigs.
Collectors' and Builders' Department:
3 men and 2 single buggies.
Collection Department :
16 collectors,
2 receiving cashiers,
6 clerks,
8 bill writers.
Making a total of 38 men, who, with part of the Chief Clerk's salary
added, were paid for December, 1908, $3,738.45.
The remaining two of these branches, the Inspectors' Department and
Bookkeepers' Department, inspect the premises of consumers, read meters and
keep the individual accounts of consumers.
Inspectors' Department :
1 chief inspector,
2 assistant inspectors,
3 inspectors,
4 clerks and 2 single buggies.
Bookkeepers' Department:
2 head bookkeepers,
11 bookkeepers,
5 meter readers.
These two departments had 28 men employed, who, with the remainder of
ilie Chief Clerk's salary received $3,155.00.
The total force employed in these five branches during December, 1908,
composed one Chief Clerk and 66 men Avho received in salaries the sum of

SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTING.
Following is the system of books conducted by the Accounting Depart-
ment of the Spring Valley Water Company, for the calendar year 1908:
The method can at once be grouped under three periods, as the manner
of handling the accounts differed for each particular period.
The first period covers January 1 to March 31, 1908; the second, April 1
to September 30, 1908, and the third, October 1 to December 31, 1908.
The general books of the Spring Valley Water Company for the calendar
year 1908 consist of Ledgers "B" and "C" : Volume "B" containing all the
assets and liabilities, and Volume "C'' all the Operating Accounts. With
these, the ordinary Journal and Cash Book comprise and complete the regular
financial set.
First period: After approval by the Purchasing Department, the progress
of the bill to the general books was as follows:
Bill Book (consisting of a record of all bills paid and to be paid) ;
Cash Book;
Voucher Journal ;
Operating Ledger.
The reports .from the three warehouses (as the three Departments, Water
Division, City Distributing, and Service and Meter, were then styled) for labor,
material and teaming, were entered on one Warehouse Journal. Other Journal
entries were entered in the ordinary Journal.
Second Period: After approval of the Purchasing Department, bill passed
to the
Bill Book;
Cash Book;
Voucher Journal ;
Operating Ledger;
AYarehouse Journals Nos. 1, 2 and 3;
Ordinary Journal.
Third Period: After approval of the Purchasing Department, bill passed
to the
Bill Register;
Bill Book;
Cash Book;
Distributing Ledger;
Operating Ledger;
Ordinary Journal.
In this last period it will be noticed that the Voucher Journal has been
displaced by the Distributing Ledger and the Bill Register. The AVarehouse
Journals Nos. 1, 2 and 3 have been dispensed with and the entries made
through the regular Journal.
MKTHOD OF TREATING ACCOUNTS.
The following is a brief description of the routine work relative to ho\\
materials are ordered, received, stored and paid for; how secured from ware
house, delivered and charged; how the pay-roll is made our and the labor is
charged: how the teamiu- and stable account is handled and segregated:
1274 WATER RATES
MATERIALS AND STORES RECEIVED.
The method of procedure of purchasing materials and supplies is as
follows :
The Department wishing the supplies has a requisition book, which is in
triplicate, having a white, pink and yellow sheet for one number.
The requisition sets out for what purpose the articles are to be used, to
what charged and when required, with instructions and recommendations. The
white sheet goes to the Purchasing Agent, the pink to the Auditor and the
yellow is retained in the book.
The Purchasing Agent issues his order in triplicate (white, pink and yel-
low colors) for the required materials. One copy (pink) is sent out with the
order of purchase; one copy (yellow) is sent to the department which has
made requisition for same, and the white, which is the original, is retained by
the Purchasing Agent.
As materials and stores are received they are listed in the material
book, kept at the warehouse, which contains duplicate leaves. The original,
a white sheet, is sent to the Auditor's office: The carbon copy, a yellow sheet,
is retained in the book. The white sheet is perforated and th,e yellow is not
and all leaves are numbered. The order number of the Purchasing Agent is
marked on each bill of goods delivered. These materials are placed either in
the receiving storehouse, or the yard, dependent upon their kind.
When the bills are rendered by the party who furnished materials, each
bill must have the requisition number affixed thereto. This is then checked
with the material report before same is paid. If found correct the bills are
passed by the Board of Directors, who meet weekly.
MATERIALS AND STORES ISSUED.
When an employee of a department desires material from the warehouse
of that department he fills out a "Requisition for Material."
The requisition sets out the required supplies, for what purpose and the
location to which they are to be delivered or sent and is not made in duplicate.
He presents this requisition to the Storekeeper, who fills same for him,
which the party requisitioning then signs.
If a department, other than the department charged with the stores,
wishes material, it can only receive it through a requisition drawn on the
Purchasing Agent and by him authorized.
If any material is not used or required it is brought back and such mate-
rial is separately listed. If the material taken out is already charged then
the returned material is credited. On repairs and current work this works itself
out daily, as the man returns to the yard daily. ,
Each Pump Station, Reservoir and foreman has a teamsters' receipt book
which is in duplicate, for materials delivered and the party receiving goods
receipts for same and retains a duplicate copy. The teamster's receipt book
is filled out by the storekeeper, original and duplicate, and all teamsters' books
are returned to him immediately upon return of teamster to yard.
The storekeeper enters daily upon 5x8 cards, having a card for each
class, tlit.- material thus given out.
At the end of the month the storekeeper makes out a material report, which
is ;i segregation to the various jobs, etc., of the material used and its cost,
which is sent to the Auditor.
This system is now being installed in all of the three Operating Depart-
ments, bein;; in successful operation in the City Distributing Department.

PAY-ROLLS.
Every man on the pay-roll, except men stationed at Reservoirs and Pump
Stations, makes out a daily time card signed by himself showing the class of
work done and time employed thereon, which is turned in, when possible, by
the man himself at the office of the department in which employed. The
others, to-wit, those stationed at Reservoirs and Pump Stations are entered on
the monthly time-book.
At the end of the month a pay-roll is made up showing all the men em-
ployed at such station, etc. Accompanying this roll is a segregation, made out
by the department, of the labor to the various jobs, etc., upon which employed.
This is sent to the Auditor.
TEAMING.
The Company sold all of its teams used within the City Limits of the City
of San Francisco and the work is now contracted for. Whenever an animal
or buggy is hired, the party securing the same must enter the nature of the
service rendered and description thereof on a tag, which is turned into the
stableman and the stub turned into the office by the driver or party who uses
the team or has the service rendered. Previous to turning the stub into the
office the contractor or stableman stamps his name across the stub, which
O.K.'s the item.
The party using the buggy or having the service rendered must sign his
name to the stub.
At the end of the month a detailed report is made out by the department
for whom the service has been performed and the items segregated. This is
sent to the Auditor.
I have made a recapitulation of each of the fifty-five accounts charged to
Operation, setting forth by months the charges which I have arranged and
classified under the headings of "Labor," "Material," "Stable," "General
Salaries," etc. In addition, the nature of each account is fully explained, and
what function of the system said account performed. Each account is com-
pared with itself annually back to 1900, or to its beginning, if originated since
1900.
It is to be noted that there has been three methods of conducting accounts
for the year 1908. Owing to a departure in September from former order of
treating warehouse reports and during installation of new system, the items
of labor, material and teaming do not appear segregated. This data is ob-
tainable from daily and weekly .reports, but as it had not been summarized,
classifying it would have entailed extensive work.
I have prepared and set out on the following page a general summary of
the fifty-five accounts charged to Operating Expenses for 1908. I have further
prepared a sheet giving a general table setting forth the Operation Charges
for the nine calendar years from 1900 to 1908, according to the accounts for
said years, giving the total charged to the account for each year; in other
words placing in parallel columns the Operation Charges for nine years with
similar accounts arranged opposite to one another, whenever possible. This data
I obtained from the records of the Board of Supervisors, with the exception of
the year 1905, but fortunately I found a copy for that year in the office of the
Spring Valley Water Company. This general comparative statement will be
found at the end of the detailed recapitulation sheets and concludes this report.
Respectfully submitted,
J. H. DOCKWEILER,
Consulting Engineer.

Francisco, corn.-r 26th and Shotwell Streets. This Station was built
during the year 1908 and the pumps were started on May 20th, 190*.
This Station was originally' built in Garfield Square after the earth-
quake and fire and was dismantled and erected on its present sili
the Park Commissioners had directed the Water Company to remove
the same, as the original Prectta Valley Pump Station was erected 011
one of the City Parks. It has two pumping engines, one of which is a
new pump, and iiio other u. s u pump brought from the Crystal Springs
Pumping Station situated at the Crystal Springs Dum. The function
of this Station is as follows: Jt is supplied with water from the I" Di-
versity Mound Reservoir District and is connected up at Harrison and
26th Streets with said district. It pumps water into the Lake Honda
System, with .which it is connected at 26th and Sanchez Streets. This
Station pumped 1,0X5,124,449 gallons of water during 1908, against an
average pressure of 1.15 pounds, equal to 265 feet. The fuel oil con-
sumed amounted to 416,084 gallons, which equals 9,907 barrels.. The
force employed at the Prec.ita Valley Pumps in Garfield Square during
January, 1908, consisted of four engineers, three firemen, three oilers,

5. OCEAN VIEW PUMPS .-. $21,222.08
Ocean View Pumping Station is located on the Lake Merced Ranch
within the limits of the City of San Francisco and is a comparatively
new station, being first started up on August 17th, 1907. The water
is supplied to it from a new pipe line laid to take the place of the old
Pilarcitos Pipe Line, which was destroyed by the earthquake and fire
in 1906. This pipe line is called the Lake Merced Branch of the San
Andreas Pipe Line and is joined to the San Andreas Pipe Line at
Baden Station, from which point it is laid to the Ocean View Pumping
Station. The San Andreas water is lifted by this Pumping Station into
the remaining part of the old Pilarcitos Pipe Line which leads into the
Lake Honda Reservoir. This Station consists of two pumping engines,
both of which came from the Crystal Springs Pumping Station. The
two boilers likewise came from the same station, 966,195,436 gallons
of water were pumped during the year 1908, against an average pres-
sure of about 125 pounds, equal to 288 feet. The fuel oil consumed
amounted to 334,416 gallons, equals 7,962 barrels. The old Ocean
View Pumping Station, which was located on the Lake Merced Ranch
at a much higher elevation than the present station, has been dis-
mantled and sold for junk. The old building was moved to the site of
the present station and covers the engine room of the same.

PILARCITOS PUMPING PLANT.
This Pumping Station was situated at the outlet of the tunnel
leading from the San Andreas Reservoir, and its function was to pump
water from the San Andreas Reservoir into the Pilarcitos Pipe Line
which supplied the Lake Honda Reservoir, thus augmenting the
quantity of water delivered by that pipe line from the Pilarcitos
Reservoir.
After the earthquake and fire of April, 1906, the entire plant was
moved to 26th and Harrison Streets, San Francisco, and erected upon
Garfield Square by permission of the Park Commissioners. This plant
was then called the Precita Valley Pump Station. After the New
Precita Valley Pump Plant had been erected at its present location,
26th and Shotwell Streets, the old plant (it was kept running until
the new one started up) was dismantled, the three pumps being sent
to the Millbrae Station, and the two old boilers were sold.
The work formerly done by the Pilarcitos Pumps previous to April,
1906, is now being done by the Ocean View Pump.

The Board of Supervisors met on February 24, 1909, for the purpose of
resuming the investigation preliminary to the fixing and determining of heat,
light and power rates for the year commencing July 1, 1909, and ending June 30,
1910. The Board resolved itself into Committee of the Whole with Supervisor
C. A. Murdock in the chair.
The Committee of the Whole subsequently reported as follows:
That it has heard the testimony of John A. Britton and Edward C. Jones,
President and Chief Gas Engineer, respectively, of the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Company, concerning the value of the properties of said company, and of
S. L. Naphtaly, Engineer of the City Electric Company, relative to rates for
electricity.

Actual loss $ 945,866.60
Actual loss if all sales to private consumers were made
at not less than 85 cents $ 836,223.04
An Inadequate Return.
The above statement clearly shows that, with an allowance for interest and
•depreciation, there is a loss in sales of gas at the rate of 85 cents per thousand.
Discrimination in Rates Is Allowable, See New York Decision Following.
On the hypothesis that the Company collected the full rate of 85 cents per
thousand from each consumer, the statement proves that the company would not
"be making 1% per annum on its investment, when due allowance has been made
for depreciation.
Effect of Sales at Less Than Full Rate.
It is to be noticed that the amount collected less than the 85 cent rate only
amounts to a 'little less than 5% on the total collections.
On total sales of 2,781,852,500 c. f., the loss as shown would justify an
increase of 30 cents per thousand, or a rate of $1.15 per thousand, to pay in-
terest and depreciation. The gross revenue as stated yields less than 1% on
"invested capital.
The company claims $13,363,384.00 intrinsic value of properties in actual
use for gas manufacturing and distributing purposes, as per following list, being
lowest value of properties appraised as segregated units, but not as unified in a
going concern :

Value of Property.
As given above, we claim an intrinsic value of property actually in use of
$13,363,384.00 — but submit that the cost of $18,040,230.46 to be the fully
invested value of all properties devoted to gas manufacture and distribution.
Queries of Board.
Answering queries submitted as follows:
1. A statement of the amount devoted by the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Company to absolute replacement for the year 1908.
2. A statement of the value of the property of the San Francisco Gas
and Electric Company in actual use for the manufacture and distribution of
gas and electricity.
3. A statement of the percentage of gas which is furnished to each class
of consumers at less than the ordinance rate of 85 cents per thousand cubic feet.
4. A statement of the cost of labor per one thousand cubic feet of gas
manufactured, and also a statement of similar nature as to cost of labor in the-
City of New York. *
Replacement in One Year No Basis for Depreciation.
W« beg to reply:
1. Actual replacement of gas properties for year 1908, $122,765.22;
this year, however, is no criterion as since 1906 plant has been placed in
practically new condition and depreciation will not be operative for some time.
Reserve, however, must be allowed to take care of future. See decision of
Supreme Court of the United States quoted.

12-hour shifts; wages in San Francisco, 37% to 45.83 cents per hour, 8-hour
shifts.
Conclusions From Decisions of United States Supreme Court.
Following trend of decisions quoted, this company contends that :
(a) It has experien-ed the trial of a low rate and has conclusively proven
that rate to be confiscatory.
(b) That it has not been heretofore allowed any amount for depreciation.
(c) That it is engaged in a business that involves all of the risks for
which the court has said due allowance in increased rate should be made.
(d) That it claims a value on franchise and good will.
No Guarantee of Protection from Competition.
The Constitution and laws of the State of California do not protect public
service corporations — the field is open to any investor, and competition is as
keen as in any commercial enterprise ; no exclusive privileges have been or can
be granted — the use of the streets, practically the only right granted, is no
greater than that taken advantage of by the entire public; any drayage com-
pany, any wholesale or retail firm, makes greater use of the streets of San
Francisco, and inflicts more damage upon them each day, than does any public
service corporation. Private enterprises make from 15 to 40% on their capital
annually without let or hindrance, while public service corporations, having no
greater privileges or rigtits, are forced to a rate less than that allowed, on
investments having absolutely no risk, such as National, State or Municipal
bonds.
This company is asking only for:
First. A reasonable rate of interest on its actual property in use.
Second. A reserve to take care of its just investment.
If City Must Charge for Interest and Depreciation, in All Equity the Same
Cannot Be Denied to Others Over Whom City Exercises a Control in
Rate Fixing.
As an argument for allowance by depreciation, attention is called to the
following provision in the Charter of the City and County of San Francisco (see
Article XII, Sec. 16, Subdivision 3):
' 'The City and County, when owning any public utility, shall kef]) the
books of account for such public utility distinct from other City and County
accounts in such manner as to show the true and complete financial results of
such municipal ownership, or ownership and operation, as the case may be.
Such accounts shall be so kept as to show the actual cost to the City and
County of the public utility owned; all costs of maintenance, extension and
improvement; all operating expenses of every description, and in case of such
GAS AND ELECTRICITY7" RATES 1.347
munieipal operation the amounts set aside for sinking fund purposes; * * *
such accounts shall also show reasonable allowance for interest, depreciation and
insurance, and also estimates of the amount of taxes that would be chargeable
against such property if owned by a private corporation."
Rates in San Francisco Have Been Unreasonable for Past Three Years — There
Has Not Been a Fair Return.
Also decisions of United States Supreme Court in the following cases:
The City of New York vs. Consolidated Gas Company of New York:
29 Supreme Court Reporter, 192. (Decision rendered January 4, 1909.)
"The question arising is as to the validity of the acts limiting the rates
for gas to the prices therein stated The rule by which to determine the ques-
tion is pretty well established in this court. The rates must be plainly un-
reasonable to the extent that their enforcement would be equivalent to the
taking of property for public use without such compensation as under the cir-
cumstances is just both to the owner and the public. There must be a fair
return upon the reasonable value of the property at the time it is beilig used
for the public."
A Trial of Three Years Should Be Sufficient.
''The case must be a clear one before the courts ought to be asked to
interfere with State legislation upon the subject of rates, especially before there
has been any actual experience of the practical result of such rates. In this
case the rates have not been enforced as yet, because the bill herein was filed
and an injunction obtained restraining their enforcement before they came into
actual operation."
Values Placed on Plant of Company a Reasonable One.
"In order to determine the rate of return upon the reasonable value of the
property at the time it is being used for the public it, of course, becomes
necessary to ascertain what that value is."
The Risks of Gas Manufacture and Distribution Are Well Recognized.
A Sound Doctrine and Especially Applicable to the Case at Issue.
"There is no particular rate of compensation which must in all cases and1
in all parts of the country be regarded as sufficient for capital invested in busi-
ness enterprises. Such compensation must depend greatly upon circumstances
and locality ; among other things, the amount of risk in the business is a most
important factor, as well as the locality where the business is conducted and
the rate expected and usually realized there upon investments of a somewhat
similar nature with regard to the risk attending them. The less risk, the less
right to any unusual returns upon the investments. One who invests his money
in a business of a somewhat hazardous character, is very properly held to have
the right to a larger return without legislative interference, than can be ob-
tained from an investment in Government bonds or other perfectly safe security.
San Francisco Gas and Electric Company Has No Monopoly — It Is, Under the
Constitution of the State, Beset by Competition on Every Hand.
''In an investment in a gas company, such as complainants', the risk i&
reduced almost to a minimum. It is a corporation, which in fact, as the court
below remarks, monopolizes the gas service of the largest city in America."
1348 GAS AXD ELECTRICITY RATES
Taking all facts into consideration, we concur with the court below on
this question, and think complainant is entitled to 6% on the fair value of its
property devoted to the public use.''
This Is the Contention Made, and Values Given are Based on Present Cost.
"And we concur with the court below in holding that the value of the
property is to be determined as of the time when the inquiry is made regarding
the rates. If the property, which legally enters into the consideration of the
question of rates, has increased in value since it was acquired, the company is
entitled to the benefit of such increase.
Reduced Price Does Not Affect Result.
"Lastly, it is objected that there is an illegal discrimination as between the
city and the consumers individually. We see no discrimination which is illegal
or for which good reasons could not be given. But neither the city nor the
consumers are finding any fault with it, and the only interest of the complainant
in the question is to find out whether, by the reduced price to the city, the
complainant is upon the whole unable to realize a return sufficient to comply
with what it has the right to demand."
The Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Knoxville vs. Knoxville Water
Company: 29 Supreme Court Reporter, 148. (Decision rendered January 9,
1909.)
Very Positive in Matter of Depreciation.
''The cost of reproduction is not always a fair measure of the present
value of a plant which has been in use for many years. The items composing
the plant depreciate in value from year to year in a varying degree. But the
reservoirs, the mains, the service pipes, structures upon real estate, standpipes,
pumps, boilers, meters, tools and appliances of every kind begin to depreciate
with more or less rapidity from the moment of their first use. It is not easy
to fix at any given time the amount of depreciation of a plant whose component
parts are of different ages with different expectations of life. But it is ch-ar
that some substantial allowance for depreciation ought to have been made in
this case.
Supporting Claims.
"Before coming to the question of profit at all the company is entitled to
earn a sufficient sum annually to provide not only for current repairs, but for
making good the depreciation and replacing the parts of the property when they
come to the end of their life. The company is not bound to see its property
gradually waste, without making provision oxit of earnings for its replacement.
It is entitled to see that from earnings the value of the property invested is
kept unimpaired, so that at the end of any given term of years the original
investment remains as it was at the beginning. It is not only the right of th»-
company to make such provision, but it is its duty to its bond and stockholder.-.,
and. in the case of a public service corporation at least, its plain duty to til--
public.

REPORT OF ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS COMMITTEE.
On May 10 the majority of the Artificial Lights Committee presented the
following report:
To the Honorable,
The Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — Your Committee on Artificial Lights, to which was referred
llie preparation of ordinances establishing rates for gas and electricity for the
year 1909-10 begs leave to report as follows:
\Ve recommend the adoption of the Ordinance fixing rates to be charged
for electricity, identical with rates fixed by the Ordinance now in force.
GAS AND ELECTEICITY KATES
Your committee in fixing what it deems a proper rate for gas bases its con-
clusions on what was reported to your Honorable Body last year (which con
elusions, with the exceptions of values of property and a proper allowance for
depreciation, were satisfactory to all concerned), with such additional allowances
as seem to this Committee to be due to the company as a legal right.
A majority of the Joint Committee on Finance and Artificial Lights, in its
report to the Board of Supervisors June — , 1908, found that 85.604 cents would
be the cost to the company per 1,000 cubic feet of gas delivered by the company
for 1908-09, based on the following items:
Manufacturing cost of 1,000 cubic feet of gas 28.938
Distribution 8.623
Administration 9.693
Leakage 3.946
Welsbach expense 1.935
Interest on floating debt 1.457
Maintenance 7.516
Extra expense through increased sales 700
Increased taxes 711
7% interest on investment estimated at $8,875,086 22.085
Total 85.604
Your Committee has adopted these figures as correct, making allowance
for only two things, concerning which there seems to it to be no question:
(1) Valuation of the gas plant; and (2) provision for depreciation on the valu-
ation of the plant.
First. As to the valuation of the plant: The expert of the Board of Super-
visors placed this, last year, at $8,875,086, and the company claims such valua-
tion this year to be $13,363,384.
While the Board last year accepted the valuation of its expert fit $8,875,086,
it must be borne in mind that a more usual way would be to allow something
for the just difference of opinion between the company's valuation and the
valuation of the Board's expert, and not to be guided solely by the lowest value,
to wit: that fixed by its own expert.
AVhen this Board purchases land for public use, it never has been its custom
to attempt to obtain property upon the value of its single appraiser against the
protest of the owner of the property sought to be condemned, nor upon the
lowest valuation fixed by one of the several experts, considering always the
danger of expert testimony; and to fix a rate is practically to condemn the
proper ty.
This year the Assessor of the City and County has informed your Committee
that the assessment on the gas plant of the Gas and Electric Company would
be in excess of five and a half million dollars, and, upon the usual basis of
assessment of property, this would represent a cash value of the gas plant of
over $11,000,000.
Your Committee, therefore, feels that it is but just to allow the company
a rate based upon a valuation of $11,000,000, for it is manifestly unjust that the
company should pay taxes on a basis of $11,000,000 as the value of its plant
for that purpose and not be allowed returns on the same amount of valuation.
The additional amount which should be allowed the company for interest
on the difference between $11,000,00 and $8,875,086 at 7% per annum, the rate
fixed by the Joint Committee last year and the legal rate in this State, is
$148,743, and this amount is figured upon the basis of an increased consump-
tion of gas during the coming year equal to the increase of 1908 over 1907, or
10%, and this would mean an added cost of 4.8 cents for each 1,000 cubic feet
of gas delivered by the company.
1354
GAS AND ELECTRICITY RATKS
DEPRECIATION.
In the debates last year in this body, the case of the San Diego Water
Company vs. The City of San Diego et al. was cited in the matter of deprecia-
tion as controlling legislative bodies in the fixing of rates.
In the report of the expert appointed by your Honorable Body during the
last investigation, he made the following statement: "In controlling the ap-
praisal, I have been guided by the decision of the Supreme Court of California
in the case of the San Diego Water Company vs. The City of San Diego et al.
as quoted below. This case has been cited to me by members of your Com-
mittee as governing the matter."
In the hearing before the referee in the pending litigation one of the mem-
bers of the Board of Supervisors, testifying for the City, in answer to a question
as to whether, or not, depreciation was allowed in fixing rates, said that there
was no allowance made for depreciation, and that he understood that the legal
position taken by the Board was that the company was entitled to no allowance
for depreciation.
Relying upon the San Diego case, the Board declined to allow anything for
depreciation. It was right for the Board last year under its oath of office to
follow the law and to rely upon this case, because the decision was then the
latest expression of the judgment of the highest court of this State, and it
seemed to decide that depreciation could not be allowed. The doctrine of this
case seems opposed to common sense and the universal custom in business mat-
ters. It does not seem reasonable that investors in any perishable property should
be allowed to collect only interest on their investment and be forced, year by
year, to lose their capital through depreciation of a plant and the total disuse
of portions of the plant rendered valueless by the discovery of new and better
processes. But whatever we may think, and however we may differ, the Supreme
Court of the United States in the early part of this year in two cases has flatly
and plainly laid down the law that allowance must be made for depreciation,
;ind under fhe same duty to obey the law which actuated us last year, we must
be guided this year. Of course, depreciation should not be allowed on real
estate nor anything but the parts of the plant that do depreciate.
The company claims that such depreciation should be allowed on all its
plant except the real estate, or on $13,363,384, less $1,982,375, or $11,381.009.
Your Committee, estimating the value of the company's property at eleven
millions, and deducting the value of the real estate, believes that depreciation
should be allowed on at least nine millions. As to the rate of depreciation to
1)0 allowed, the company claims over 5% to be proper. We have determined to
follow the rate for depreciation fixed in England and in this country in Massa-
chusetts on the basis of 3%, which, on a valuation of nine millions would be
$270,000; and upon the estimated consumption for 1909-10, on the basis of a
10% increase on last year's consumption, would give an added cost of 8.8 cenis
per 1,000 cubic feet. Adding to the allowances determined upon last year the
amounts resulting from the increased appraisement and provision for deprecia-
tion, we have a total cost of 99.204 cents per thousand. Allowing for any
possible errors and possible increase of over 10% in consumption of gas. we have
fixed 95 cents as in our judgment just to both company and consumer.
The records of the company filed with the Hoard this year disclose the fact
that the allowance for additional cost of oil per thousand made by Joint Com-
mittee of Finance and Artificial Lights was inadequate; the actual cost per
thousand for the last six months of 1908, during which period the high rate
per barrel of oil was operative, being in excess of the allowance made by tin-
expert of the Board; of this item, however, your Committee has taken no par
ticular cognizance, as the factors of increased valuation of plant and allowance
of depreciation are more than sufficient to justify its conclusions.
GAS AND ELECTRICITY BATES 1355
In fixing this rate Ave are not unmindful of the demand for a lower rate
even than 85 cents by the public and by the press seeking to subserve the
wishes of the public; but it must be borne in mind that justice, and not desire,
is the paramount question, and that our determination is a judicial duty thrown
by the Charter upon us, and in such judicial decision we must be guided solely
by the facts which make for justice to all concerned, regardless of any extraneous
circumstances.
We are, moreover, perfectly satisfied that neither the public nor the press
wish any injustice done to the company any more than that the company should
do any injustice to the consumer.
In all matters which are discretionary with this Board, as a large propor-
tion of the matters which come before it are, we believe that, as representatives
of the people, we should welcome the expression of the public wish in every
way, and especially through the controlling influence and medium of the press ;
but in judicial determinations such as this, we know and think the public and
the press will see that the duty cu.st on us by the people in the City Charter
should not be abdicated to the press, the public, nor even to the courts, if that
can be avoided.
One other consideration fairly enters into our judgment in this connection
which is the practical result should we fix a lower rate than what we believe
the facts force upon us.
The company will, as it did last year, in its duty to its stockholders, appeal
to the courts, and the practical result will be that during the litigation the
people will pay this year and for many years to come at the rate of at least $1
per thousand, as they have for the past year: and the company, as it has done
for the last year, must decline to extend its service in the outlying districts,
and this Board has no power to force such extensions; the company will also
decline to attempt to increase its consumption of gas, as it has stated that the
result of such attempts of increased consumption at 85 cents per thousand was
to make greater loss to the company for such greater consumption : all of which
facts will create and emphasize all the evils which naturally follow from dis-
agreements between the city and the public service corporations.
In fixing the rate at 95 cents per thousand we have been guided solely by
the facts and factors existing this year, which make this rate seem to us fair
and just to all concerned, and this should be the only factor to be considered.
But we have not been unmindful, also, of the fact that there is pending a suit
by the company against the City to declare void the 85 cent rate. We feel sure
that nothing now determined for this year's rate can affect a rate fixed for
last year. The court trying last year's rate must confine itself to last year's
facts and nothing done by this Board or by the company for this year can
influence the judgment of the court on last year's rates.
Under these circumstances, your Committee suggests a compromise in
reference to past and inevitable future litigation as follows:
The City Attorney has advised us that the United States Circuit Court, in
the present suit, will not fix the proper rate to be charged for gas, but will
determine merely whether 85 cents per thousand was a confiscatory rate ; and
should the court so hold, as it is bound to do if depreciation be allowed under
latest decisions, the company can charge what it considers a reasonable rate,
and in this connection, the allowance by the court of the impounding of rates
in excess of 85 cents and up to $1, after a preliminary hearing, is at least
significant.
Looking at the practical results, we cannot feel that we shall do our duty
to the people by making a mere paper rate of 85 cents, which experience baa
shown has resulted in making the public pay at least $1 per thousand.
Under these circumstances, your Committee, 'appreciating the desire or
feeling of the Gas Company to meet this Board with a view to harmonizing its
1356
GAS AND ELECTRICITY RATES
relations with the public in the fixing of the rates for gas. sussests the
following :
The Committee recommends that 95 cents per thousand cubic feet be fixed
for the fiscal year 1909-1910, as the legal rate, provided that:
First. The present suit shall be allowed to stand, and that if the City
wins the suit the company shall return to the consumer the 15 cents per thousand
now being impounded, and that if the City loses the suit the company shall re-
turn to the consumers 5 cents per thousand; in other words, if the City wins,
the consumers get all; if the City loses, the consumers get one-third of the
amount impounded. As further litigation seems inevitable if we fix a rate less
than 95 cents, we can hardly imagine more favorable conditions for the con-
sumer under such litigation than the above suggestion. ,
Second. The company's books shall be open at all times for inspection by
the proper City officials.
Third. The City shall be furnished each month with a statement of all
complaints and also of all requests for extensions of its gas service.
Fourth. The company shall furnish all reasonable extensions of its mains
without charge to the consumer, and co-operate with the City for the fullest and
best purposes of its organization as a public service corporation.
TO RECAPITULATE.
As to our starting point of 85.604, this cannot be changed without over-
turning the unanimous opinion of the Board and its experts last year.
As to depreciation, we must allow this or decline to be governed by the law
as laid down by the Supreme Court of the United States.
And as to the value of the company's plant, we must allow this at eleven-
million dollars or take the position that we will tax property above the amount
we will allow for its income.

Telephone Rates

TELEPHONE BATES FOR 1909-1910.
The Charter of the City and County of San Francisco was amended in 1907
so as to permit the Board of Supervisors to fix the rates to be charged and
•collected for telephonic service.
Subdivision 14 of Chapter II of Article II of the Charter is as follows:
14. To fix and determine by Ordinance in the month of February of each
year, to take effect on the first day of July thereafter, the rates or compensation
to be collected by any person, company or corporation in the City and County,
for the use of water, heat, light, power or telephonic service, supplied to the
•City and County, or to the inhabitants thereof, and to prescribe the quality of
the service.
Under the authority of the above provision the Board of Supervisors in
February commenced an investigation preliminary to the fixing of rates for
telephonic service for the year commencing July 1, 1909, and ending June 30,
1910.
By the provisions of Ordinance 842 (New Series) all persons and cor-
porations engaged in the business of furnishing telephonic communication is
required to file statements during the month of January in each year showing
in detail the receipts and expenditures for the previous year; also an itemized
inventory of all property used in such business. In compliance with the
requirements of this Ordinance communications were received from the com-
panies engaged in the telephone business.
The Board of Supervisors met on February 10. 1909, for the purpose of
making the necessary investigation prior to fixing the rates to be paid for
telephonic service during the year 1909-10.
The Board resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole and the report
of the Committee was to the effect that it had heard the testimony of E. C.

C. L. Cory, Consulting Engineer, Union Trust Building, San Francisco.
To the Honorables,
the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors,
of the City and County of San Francisco,
San Francisco, California.
Gentlemen: — In compliance with your Resolution No. 2517 (New Series)
dated July 14th, 1908, I have made a personal inspection and examination of
the complete equipment of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company in
San Francisco, including its books, records, engineering data. etc.. and beg
herewith to submit the following
REPORT.
The information required by your Resolution is included under three head-
ings, as follows:
1. The true valuation of the plant of the company in Sun Francisco on
July 1st, 1908, and also all additional investments which rightfully increase this
valuation from July 1st, 1908, to January 1st, 1909.
TELEPHONE KATES 1363
2. The number of telephones operated by the company in San Francisco
on January 1st. 1908, the additional telephones installed during each month of
the year, and also the average revenue to the company per telephone.
3. The annual cost of operation including a proper segregation of accounts.
I.
Valuation of Plant.
In determining the valuation of the plant of the company there has been
included the entire installation in San Francisco which is necessarily a part of
the San Francisco exchange. All equipment and materials of every character not
directly a part of this exchange and used in its operation have been excluded.
In other words, no part of the general plant of The Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Company not directly a part of the San Francisco system, and
actually required and used in its San Francisco business has been included.
Immediately after July 1st, 1908, the company began to make complete
and detailed inventories of the component parts of the entire San Francisco
system, the methods and classifications having been previously agreed upon
between the company and myself.
These inventories were largely made jointly by a representative of the
company and a representative of myself, and were compiled in forms readily
and easily checked and verified by me. The actual installation as represented
by the inventories has been examined in sufficient detail by me to establish the
fact that there is included only such portions of the installation as are required
MTU! used in the operation of the San Francisco exchange.
The valuation of the plant has, in every instance possible, been made on
the basis of the actual cost to the company, but in all cases where the actual
cost for any reason could not be determined, careful estimates were made of
the probable cost.
The valuation of the various portions of the entire installation as deter-
mined i;- ;i> follows:

The average revenue per station as given is obtained from the total revenue
from stations and the total number of stations, including extensions, private
branch exchange stations, dead-head telephones, etc.
The reduction of the average revenue from $4.233 for the first six months
to $3.714 for the last six months is due in part to the reduction iu rates on
July 1st, 1908, and in part to the increase in the number of telephones in
operation.
The average revenue per telephone for the different classes of service
during December, 1907, and during December, 1908, is given below and sho\vs

The other headings are self-explanatory.
This classification does not follow the classification used by the company
in keeping their accounts. Without an investigation of the company's books
the statement given above would be valueless for a comparison from year to
year of the various expenses. For instance, under the head of "Operating"
the statement shows an amount of $425,986.17, which is made up entirely of
salaries and wages, while rent, light and heat for operating is an unknown
amount appearing in the total for rent, light and heat; also, postage, printing
and stationery and incidental expenses for operating appear only in the total
for miscellaneous. Again, the amount for rent, light and heat does not include
all of the expenses under this heading, as in the amount given under "General"
is included an amount for rent, light and heat.
However, the statement of the company for the year 1908, showing the
revenue and -expenses, follows the same form as that presented to the Super-
visors for the year 1907, which statement was submitted on February 10th,
1908. For this reason the statement of revenue and expenses of the company
for the year 1908 was submitted in the form as filed in order that it might be
readily compared with the statement submitted for the year 1907.
I have investigated the classification of accounts as used by the company
and, in general, have no criticism to make upon their methods. However, it
would seem to me that the revenue and expense accounts respectively should
contain all revenues and all expenses and not have, as is the present practice
in the cases of directory and conduit, pole and roof rent, only the net expense
appear as expense. This change would, of course, only affect the gross revenue
and gross expenses, and not change the -net revenue.

ginning July 1st, 1908, to cover the accounts separately for San Francisco.
The result has been that the work of segregation of accounts and the deter-
mination .of the different items of expense has been the more readily and
accurately accomplished.
In conclusion, I wish to formally acknowledge the many courtesies ex-
tended to me by the officials of the company, with whom I have worked in
connection with the securing and compiling the data required in connection with
the preparation of this report. Without exception they have afforded me every
facility and have freely given me all information, whether detail or general,
for which I have made requests.
Respectfully submitted,

February 1st, 1909.
On April 12, 1909, the Committee on Telephone Rates presented the follow-
ing report :
REPORT OF TELEPHONE RATES COMMITTEE.
To the Honorable,
the Board of Supervisors,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — Your Telephone Rates Committee whom your Honorable Board
instructed to report a bill fixing and establishing telephone rates for the year
•commencing July 1. 1909, beg leave to report that they have fully considered all
the testimony taken during the recent telephone rates investigation and have
also considered the exhibits filed and do now recommend the passage of a bill
herewith submitted, fixing and determining the maximum rates or compensation
to be collected for telephonic service in the City and County of San Francisco
for the year commencing July 1, 1909, and ending June 30, 1910, and pre-
scribing the quality of such telephonic service during said year.
1374 TELEPHONE RATES
The essential changes made by the Bill now presented, from the telephone
rates now in effect, are as follows:
Business and Professional Bates.
The complement of exchange switches included within the $5.00 per month
rate is increased from 42 to 60.
The complement of switches included within the $9.15 per mouth rate i&
increased from 125 to 175.
The complement of switches included within the $12.47 per month rate is
increased from 209 to 300.
The complement of switches included within the $15.00 per month rate is
increased from 292 to 400.
The complement of exchange switches included Avithin the $17.48 per month
rate is increased from 500 to 600.
The complement of switches included within the $19.57 per month rate is
increased from 667 to 780.
Business or Professional Service With Coin Collecting Attachment.
A new rate is recommended in this character of service, being as follows :
"For a single party line telephone, business or professional, including five-
exchange switches per day, 25 cents per day, and for each exchange switch in
excess of the number included in this rate a sum not to exceed 4 cents each.""
Public Telephone Service.
Upon the earnest and unanimous petition of the hotelkeepers of the Cityr
a change is made in this character of service in this — that from any telephone-
in a hotel room connecting with a hotel private branch exchange the charge
for a single exchange switch shall not execeed 10 cents. In all other respects
this service remains the same, that is, 5 cents per switch.
Residence Bates.
The following residence measured service rate is provided for:
"For a single party line residence telephone, including 125 exchange
switches, $3.00 per month, and for all exchange switches in excess of the
number included in this rate a sum not to exceed 3 cents each.'1
It is estimated that the adoption of the rates herewith submitted will reduce
the revenue of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company during the next
ensuing fiscal year approximately $60,000 or $65,000.
Your Committee was assisted in its investigations by Prof. C. L. Cory, who-
has made a thorough study of the telephone business as conducted by the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph Company, and we herewith submit and make a part
of our report the findings of Prof. Cory:
REPORT OF C. L. CORY, CONSULTING ENGINEER, ON PROPOSED-
TELEPHONE RATES BILL.
San Francisco, April 8. 1909.
To the Telephone Rates Committee,
Board of Supervisors,
City and County of San Francisco, Califoi'iiia.
Gentlemen : — Complying with your recent request asking me to give you-
an approximate estimate of what would be the probable net revenue to The
TELEPHONE BATES 1375
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company for the fiscal year from July 1, 1909,
to June 30, 1910, with the rates proposed by your Committee, I beg to pre-
sent, as set forth below, the following statement:
For the calendar year 1907 the average number of telephones in use in
San Francisco for the year was approximately 30,000. The average number of
telephones in use for the six months from January 1 to June 30 inclusive for
1908 was approximately 38,000. For the second half of the year 1908, or
from July 1 to December 31 inclusive, the average number of telephones in use
was approximately 44,000. If this rate of increase in the number of telephones
continues until January 1, 1910, there will be in use approximately 60,000
telephones on that date, which would represent the average number of telephones
in use for the fiscal year from July 1, 1909, to June 30, 1910.
For the second half of the calendar year 1908, or from July 1 to December
31, the average revenue per station with the rates at present in force was $3.714
per month, or $44.57 per year. If it is assumed that without any change in
rates the average revenue per station for 60,000 telephones will be the same
the gross revenue of the company would be $2,674,200.00. For the purpose of
comparison it may be stated that the gross revenue of the company for the last
six months of the year 1908 was, as per the statement of the company as filed
with the City, $1,089,115.61. For a year with the same number of telephones
the gross income would be twice that for six months, or $2,178,231.22.
During the year 1907, with an average of 30,000 telephones in use, the
expenses of operation, as set forth on page three of the statement filed with
the Board of Supervisors on February 10, 1908, exclusive of interest, was
$1,331,693.31. or an annual expense per station of $44.37.
During the first half of the year 1908, with an average of approximately
38,000 telephones in use, the expenses of operation, as per the statement filed
with the City on February 1, 1909, was $798,206.67, or an annual expense per
•station of $42.06.
During the second half of the year 1908, with an average of approximately
44,000 telephones in use, the expenses of operation, as per the statement filed
-with the City on February 1, 1909, was $805,345.39, or an annual expense per
station of $36.55.
It is perhaps reasonable to suppose that the total cost of operation
for the fiscal year July 1, 1909, to June 30, 1910, will be somewhat less per
station than for the last six months of the year 1908, when the annual cost of
•operation per station was $36.55. An average figure for the cost of operation
per station with 60,000 telephones in use is probably not far from $33.34,
-which would make the estimated annual cost of operation approximately
-$2,000,000. The estimated net revenue to the company under the above assump-
tions would be therefore approximately $674,200.
As per -my report to you of April 2, 1909, the modification in the business
rates as proposed by your Committee would correspond to a reduction of $67,744,
or the net revemie with the proposed modification in the business rates it is
estimated would be approximately $606,456.
The valuation of the telephone plant in San Francisco on July 1, 1908, was
$6,146,289.08. The additions to the plant from July I, 1908, to January 1,
1909, represented an expenditure of $621,981.74. The valuation of the plant,
-therefore, on January 1, 1909, was $6,768,270.82.
It is manifestly impossible to, with any degree of accuracy, estimate the
probable additions to the plant necessary during the calendar year 1909. With
60,000 telephones installed and in use, however, it is probable that the neces-
sary additions to the plant will represent approximately $1,000,000, or the total
valuation of the plant on January 1, 1910, will be approximately $7,770,000.
1376 TELEPHONE KATES
With the above estimated net revenue of $606,456, the return upon the
total investment, as estimated at $7,770,000.00, would be nearly S^c. or using
as definite the above figures, 7.8%.

service, and payment by the applicant of all money due from him, the person,
company or corporation must within thirty days supply telephonic service as
required for such building or premises, and cannot refuse on the ground of any
indebtedness of any former owner or occupant thereof, unless the applicant has
undertaken to pay the same.
No restriction shall be placed by any company, person or corporation
supplying telephonic service upon the right of subscribers to employ operators,
provided that any operator or substitute operator to be employed and paid by
the subscriber shall conform to the reasonable rules and regulations pertaining
to the service of such person, company or corporation.
It shall be the duty of the telephone company to advise their subscribers
by written notice if it is found that for three consecutive months the schedule
charged is higher than the number of contract switches shown. Said notice to
state :
1. The rate charged.
2. The number of contract switches.
3. The number of excess switches.
4. Advice as to average number monthly switches.
5. Advice as to what proper schedule subscriber should be under.
The telephone company shall also print on the reverse side of their billheads
their schedules, showing the various grades of monthly rental, contract switch-
ing and excess switching, so the same can easily be understood by their sub-
scribers.
Upon demand of any person, company or corporation using business or
professional measured telephonic service (excepting prepayment service) every
person, company or corporation supplying telephonic service within the City and
County shall install and maintain in connection with each such measured service
line, a meter which shall prove effective in actual use for accurately and cor-
rectly recording the number of outgoing messages and conversations over said
line, and said meter shall be subject to inspection at all reasonable times by the
subscriber upon whose line the same is installed.
Section 3. Any person, company or corporation, or any officer or agent of
any person, company or corporation, violating any of the provisions of this

Acquisition of a Water Supply for
San Francisco
The first investigations of the water supply of San Francisco, undertaken
for the purpose of securing a municipal water system, were made in 1871-72.
A report of this investigation was published in the Municipal Reports of
1871-72, pages 626 to 640.
The investigations were continued in 1874 and a very full report thereof
was published in the Municipal Reports of 1874-75, pages 613 to 72!?.
A further study of the question of securing a municipal water supply was
made in 1876 and the report thereof was published in the Municipal Reports of
1876-77, pages 701 to 928.
Upon the taking effect of the Charter of the City and County in 1900 and
in compliance with its provisions an exhaustive study of the whole subject was
undertaken and a progress report of C. E. Grunsky, City Engineer, was pub-
lished in the Appendix to the Municipal Reports of 1900-01, pages 232 to 435.
A complete report was made by Mr. Grunsky in 1902 and was published in
the Municipal Reports of 1902-03, pages 402-471. This was supplemented by a
report of proceedings in the matter of the application of the City and County
of San Francisco for reservoir rights-of-way in Hetch-Hetchy valley and Lake
Eleanor before the Interior Department, published in the same volume, pages
1072-1080. The last matter published in the Municipal Reports was the
memorial to the President and Congress for a review of the matter and for
legislation to remove the legal obstructions referred to by the Secretary of the
Interior Department. Bills to this end were later introduced into both Houses
of Congress, but received no action. The memorial was referred by the Presi-
dent to the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, who rendered
an opinion sustaining the position of the Secretary of the Interior.
On July 27, 1905, an elaborate statement and argument for the City was
placed in the hands of the President and by him was referred to the Attorney-
General. On October 28, 1905, that official rendered an opinion in which he
advised the President as follows: He quoted the law of February 15, 1901 (31
Startutes 790), providing for rights of way through certain parks: "That the
Secretary of the Interior be authorized and empowered, under general regulations
to be fixed by him, to permit the use of rights of way through the public lands —
Yosemite, Sequoia and General Grant National Parks, California, for
canals * * * reservoirs for * * * supplying of water for domestic, public
or any beneficial uses."
"I have carefully considered the language of the act as above quoted and
am clearly of the opinion that Congress thereby intended to vest in the Secre-
tary a discretionary authority to grant or refuse applications of this kind.
"I would, therefore, respectfully suggest that, if you desire further con-
sideration or different action, the matter be taken up with the Secretary of
the Interior."
This opinion was not made public until May, 1906.
In January, 1906, a new Board of Supervisors took office, and on January
24, 1906, Resolution No. 6949 was adopted, which recited that there appeared
to be no prospect of the City's application for rights at Hetch Hetchy valley
and Lake Eleanor being favorably considered by the Federal Government and
that no more public money should be used to further prosecute the proceedings;
that steps be taken to acquire other sources of supply.
1382 WATEK SUPPLY
CONSIDERATION OF OTHER SOURCES.
Th following Resolutions and actions of the Board of Supervisors make
up the record in respect to the acquisition of sources of supply other than the
so-called Hetch Hetchy system.
Resolution No. 6949, determining to refrain from expending further money,
energy or time in an attempt to acquire the Tuolumne system, adopted January
29, 1906.
Resolution No. 7130, soliciting offers to furnish water supplies to the City
and County of San Francisco, adopted March 12, 1906.
Resolution No. 32 (New Series), soliciting resubmission of offers to furnish
water supplies to San Francisco from those who filed original offers previous to
April 18, 1906, adopted May 14, 1906.
Proposition of the Bay Counties Water Company to furnish a water supply
filed May 21, 1906.
Other propositions were received from Lake Tahoe and San Francisco Water
Works, Hugo D. Newhouse, Russell L. Dunn, Jay E. Russell, Scofield Con-
struction Company, Northern Sierra Water and Power Company, William Muir,
Orrin S. Henderson, Sierra Nevada Water and Power Company, Stanislaus
Electric Power Company, Snow Mountain Water and Power Company, S. P.
Dunn, M. C. Taylor and John Neate.
Resolution No. 66 (New Series), re-adoption of Resolution No. 32 (New
Series), owing to the fact that said Resolution had been adopted on a legal
holiday, adopted June 4, 1906.
On July 23, 1906, a message was received from Ihe Mayor recommending
that an Advisory Board of Engineers be appointed in matter of the selection
of a water supply. This message appears of record in the Journal of the Board
of Supervisors of July 30, 1906.
On July 23, 1906, a Special Committee on Water Supply, consisting of
Supervisors Phillips, Gallagher, Kelly, Boxton and Walsh, submitted a report
on the subject and recommended the appointment of a Board of Engineers to
investigate the same. This report appears of record in the Journal of the
Supervisors of the above date.
On July 30, 1906, Resolution No. 226 (New Series), was adopted and ap-
proved August 2, 1906, appointing Major C. H. McKinstry, Prof. C. D. Marx
and A. M. Hunt as Engineers of the Board of Supervisors, together with the
City Engineer ''to examine and consider the propositions for a municipal water
supply as recommended by the Special Committee on Water Supply.''
August 10, ,1906, report of the City Engineer on the American-Consuinnes
Water Supply Project. Filed.
.\ii.irust 13, 1906, report of the Special Committee on Water Supply against
the advisability of the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River, Snow Mountain and
Eel River as sources of supply. Adopted and printed in the Journal of Proceed-
ings of said date.
August 13, 1906, a report of the same Committee was adopted, giving in-
structions to the Advisory Engineers as to the scope of their investigations.
On September 24, 1906, the. Special Committee on Water Supply presented
a report recommending the selection of the Bay Cities Water Supply as an
available source for San Francisco. The report was adopted, together with
Resolution No. :;*<) (New Series), requesting the Advisory Engineers to report
upon the proposition as to whether the Bay Cities proposition complied with the
Resolution soliciting offers and constituted an adequate supply.
Thereupon the Advisory Board of Engineers resigned, stating their unwill-
ingness to confine their investigation to a single source of water supply, and
WATER SUPPLY 1383
declaring that they should be allowed to make a comparative study of all
available sources.
On October 8, 1906, the Special Committee on Water Supply in a Supple-
mental Report explained their reasons for instructing the Engineers and limiting
their duties to the investigation of a single project. This report appears of
record in the Journal of the Board of Supervisors of said date.
On January 21, 1907, Resolution No. 716 (New Series, was adopted and
approved January 30, 1907, appointing City Engineer Thomas P. Wood-
ward and John R. Price, Engineers to report upon the Bay Cities Water Com-
pany proposition and detailing their duties in respect thereto.
Shortly after this date other matters interrupted the consideration of the
acquisition of a water supply. In July following sixteen members of the Board
of Supervisors resigned, a new Mayor and Supervisors were appointed. The
consideration of the matter of water supply was resumed and the Tuolumne
project was revived.
TUOLUMNE PROJECT REVIVED.
In the interval between January, 1906, and July, 1907, friends of the '
Tuolumne Water Supply project kept the matter before the various departments
of the Federal Government. In 1907 James R. Garfield became Secretary of
the Interior and his attention was called to the matter. In August, 1907, he
was in San Francisco and gave a public hearing to all parties interested. A
meeting was held on July 24, 1907, and a stenographic report of the conference
is on file in the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. It was pub-
lished in full in "Reports on the Water Supplies of San Francisco, 1900 to 1908
Inclusive," pages 148-168.
On August 14, 1907, a conference was held at the office of the Board of
Supervisors between the Public Utilities Committee of said Board and repre-
sentatives of the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts, with a view of
reaching an amicable settlement of the differences arising from the use of the
waters of the Tuolumne River by the City. A stenographic report of this confer-
ence is on file in the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.
PURCHASE OF SPRING VALLEY PROPERTY — REPORT OF FEDERATED
WATER COMMITTEE.
Several civic associations, interested in the acquisition of a water supply
for San Francisco, conducted an inquiry as to the possibility of acquiring the
property of the Spring Valley Water Company. The result of the investigation
was set forth in a communication to the Board of Supervisors, filed on September
3, 1907, and is as follows:
August 28, 1907.
To the Honorable,
the Board of Supervisors :
Gentlemen : — Enclosed herewith please find a copy of the report made by
Col. W. H. Heuer of the Federated Water Committee.
To this report, by Resolution, submitted to your Honorable Board for your
early consideration.
FEDERATED WATER COMMITTEE,
By Win. F. Smith, Secretary.
1384 WATER SUPPLY
To the Executive Committee of the Federated Water Committee,
San Francisco, California.
Sirs: — It is well known that the existing water supply of San Francisco
is deficient and that an additional supply is imperative. To meet these condi-
tions the Federated Water Committee, at its first session, declared that, in its
judgment, several things are necessary, among them, first, to obtain a fair
and equitable appraisement of the valuation of the Spring Valley Water Com-
pany's plant and properties as a basis upon which to establish an annual water
rate for consumers, as provided by law, so as to enabla the Water Company to
have an income sufficient to pay its operating expenses, interest on its invest-
ment, taxes and make such betterments as may be necessary to place its plant
in proper condition to supply an adequate amount of water until such time as
the City could acquire its own water supply; second, that the City ought to have
an option to purchase the Water Company's plant at the appraised value within
ten years or some other specified time; third, that such appraisement should not
include property of the Water Company which may not be necessary for its
working plant but which have been acquired by it in other counties to shut out
competition or property which has fallen into disuse.
There appeared, by invitation, before the Executive Committee of the
Federated Water Committee, Capt. A. H. Payson, President of the Spring Valley
Water Company, who stated frankly to the Committee the financial and physical
conditions of the company and afterwards submitted a letter to said Committee,
enclosing copy of letter which he had submitted, under date of May 22, 1907,
to the Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors. Capt.
Payson was requested by the Executive Committee to submit, as far as prac-
ticable, terms and conditions on which his company might enter into negotia-
tions with properly authorized persons for the sale of its property. After con-
ference with the board of directors, he stated orally to the Committee that, in
the absence of the consent of the stockholders, he could not fix a specific price
at which the property might be sold, but suggested as a basis for negotiations
and consideration that the directors would be willing to recommend to the stock-
holders that the property be sold to the City for the face value of the bonds
and stocks; that there be excepted from the sale the Lake Merced property, for
which the Water Company would deduct from the purchase price $4,000,000,
and allow the City the use of the water in Lake Merced for a charge of 4<
per annum interest on $4,000,000, until such time as the City no longer desires
to use the water of the lake; and that the Water Company would also deduct
from the purchase price the land value of any property which it owned not
actually in use for a water supply and which the City would not require,
list of these properties, with their reported cost, is appended hereto; aggregat
cost, $641,009.
The Chairman of the Finance Committee of the then Board of Supervisor
also, by request, appeared before the Executive Committee and, after being
informed of the condition of the Water Company and of the desires of the
Executive Committee, stated the difficulties in obtaining an appropriation for
the City's water supply and of changing the rates from those already fixed, but
promised to submit the matter to the Finance Committee and to the Board of
Supervisors with favorable recommendation.
Recently a new Mayor and Board of Supervisors were placed in charge of
the City's affairs. At a meeting of our Executive Committee, held August 2nd,
it was resolved that a Committee be appointed to arranged a conference with
the Finance Committee of the new Board of Supervisors, to lay the matter of
water supply before it. A committee of one called on the Chairman of the
Finance Committee and, at the suggestion of the latter, petitioned, on August 3rd,
for a public hearing before the Finance and Public Utilities Committees of the
Board of Supervisors. The petition was submitted to the Board of Supervisors
WATER SUPPLY 1385
on August 5th and, it is believed, received consideration, but, up to the present
time, no date has been set for the public hearing.
At all events, up to date, your Executive Committee has been diligent in
getting information concerning the matters entrusted to its charge and has the
honor to submit its conclusions for such actions as the Federated Water Com-
mittee may deem proper.
The questions before us are these: What is a fair value of all the property
of the Spring Valley Water Company? Secondly, in case the City decides to
purchase, is it advisable to eliminate the Lake Merced Ranch?
We have made no independent investigation in the field, but present to the
Committee the values of the property placed upon it from time to time :
First. The testimony given by various expert engineers in the suit of the
Spring Valley Water Company brought in 1903 in the United States Court.
Second. From official reports showing the value put upon the property by
City Engineers in water rate investigations.
Third. From a printed report of the Chief Engineer of the Spring Valley
Water Company, Mr. Herman Schussler, prepared after the disaster in 1906.
Fourth. From statements submitted by the Spring Valley Water Company.
Fifth. From outside sources.

The latter amount represents valuation, as determined above, in 1905, with-
out considering any variation in value of property since 1877.
The aggregate of 14 above estimates is $433,760,536.00.
Average, $30,982,895.43.
The amount thus deduced, viz.: $30,982,895.43, was obtained by attaching
•equal weight to each of the fourteen estimates above referred to and taking
1386
WATKH STPPLY
a mean or average of all of them. This, it was thought, would afford a reason-
ably close approximation to the value of all the property owned by the Spring
Valley Water Company, including that at Lake Merced, which had not been
offered for sale.
Twelve of the estimates used in the above calculations, were made before
the fire and earthquake of April 18, 1906.
In consideration of the estimates taken before the fire, it cannot be now
overlooked that the Spring Valley Water Company suffered in common with
most other property owners by direct and indirect injury.
The blow given the City is reflected by all its public service corporations.
Consumers have been reduced in number and others have taken up new loca-
tions, rendering useless many of the old service connections in the burned
district; pipes have been broken and mains have been ruptured.
"Pilarcitos conduit, which, for a considerable portion of its length is
crossed by the fault line, was, from such portion broken, telescoped, collapsed,
pulled apart and damaged beyond possibility of economical repair. The San
Andreas conduit was broken where it crossed the head of the Baden Marsh.
Several stretches of the Crystal Springs conduit were injured. At Baden Marsh
the pipe was ruptured in many places and long sections were thrown from the
trestle and a great length of the trestle was broken down. Examinations dis-
closed that some of the timbers were decayed. The distributing mains were
injured in many places. Those from College Hill and University Mound Reser-
voirs were completely severed and those from Lake Honda badly damaged."
(Report of Committee on Water Supply to the Committee on Reconstruction
of San Francisco, May 26, 1906. Signed by C. H. McKinstry, Engineer Corps,
U. S. A. ; Thomas P. Woodward, City Engineer, and Messers. Bogue, Marx, Hunt,
Duryea, Manson and Brown.)
The fault line ran through the center of the San Andreas and Crystal
Springs Reservoirs, causing some damage to the upper Crystal Springs dam, and
by reason of this partial destruction causing the abandonment of the Pilarcitos
thirty-inch pipe line.
The total distance of destroyed bridges and broken pipes in the valleys
was 2,850 feet. Lake Honda Reservoir was damaged by the earthquake, crack-
ing the heavy western wall. (See the report on the Water Supply of San
Francisco, by Herman Schussler, Chief Engineer Spring Valley Water Company,
July 23, 1906.)
These reports, when examined, show not only considerable actual dams
which has since been in part repaired, but they reveal the potential danger
a water system whose main reservoirs in San Mateo County are traversed
the earthquake fault which may, at any time, cause serious injury.
The market or selling price of the securities, bonds and stocks of the Spring
'Valley Water Company has declined since the disaster, which, perhaps, indicates,
to some extent, the measure of the damage done to the property by the disaster.
In January, 1906, I. W. Hellman, syndicate manager, who had agreed
purchase the bonds at 93, sold them to the public in large blocks at 98. Tl
are now selling at 83, or a decline of fifteen points, which represents a shrinl
age of $2,078,850. Likewise, the stock, which was selling before the fire
37%. dropped to 20, representing a decline of 17% on the 280,000 shares,
$4,970,000, or a total depreciation in the property, so far as the market vah
of the securities is concerned, of $7,648,850.
Since the disaster an assessment of three dollars per share has been
and collected, amounting to $840,000, a large part of which has been presumably
used to repair damage.
WATER SUPPLY 1387
In the estimate of $30,982,895.43, as an approximate appraisement of the
value of the Spring Valley Water Company's plant and properties, twelve of the
estimates used and having been made prior to 1907, did not take into considera-
tion any loss by damage through the earthquake and fire to the company's prop-
erty. This should be considered, and the only estimate we have of said loss
is contained in an estimate by the City Engineer in 1907, in which the loss is
estimated at $1,250,000, and which is partly offset by betterments made since,
estimated by him at $369,501, or a net loss of $880,499; also by an assessment
amounting to $840,000 levied on the stockholders and by the shrinkage in the
market value of the stocks and bonds. If the estimated net loss, viz., $880,499,
be deducted from each of the twelve estimated values before the fire and there
be added to that result the other two estimates made after the fire, viz., the City
Engineer's estimate of 1907, $24,569,828, and market value of stocks and bonds
(stocks at 20, bonds at 83), $20,422,970, the result is $423,194,548, which rep-
resents an aggregate of fourteen estimates of valuation reduced to an after-fire
basis, from which an average valuation of $30,228,182 is obtained.
In the appraisement thus resulting the lowest market value of the stock
and bonds was again used as one item in determining valuation. The stocks
fluctuate and certainly do not determine the actual value of the property.
If the item referred to be omitted from the calculation, the average estimated
value of the property, based on the other thirteen estimated items, becomes
$30,982,429.
It is evident from an examination of eleven estimated values of the property
varying between the extreme limits of $51,500,000 and $22,736,643, made by
competent engineers, that it is difficult to fix an actual valuation on this prop-
erty. Dozens of combinations of these estimates, in groups of twos, threes or
A larger number, can be made, and an average of each combination taken will
result in many different valuations of the property.
What is believed to be the fairest method is to take all the estimates
herein used into consideration. The average thus obtained lies between thirty
and thirty-one millions of dollars, which is slightly less than the terms which
ithe water company tentatively suggested.
From testimony offered in court, it is difficult, perhaps impracticable, to
ascertain the value of the Lake Merced property. Estimates were made, but
were so tied up with other items, such as water rights, catchment areas, lands,
pumping plants and other properties not itemized, that a separate valuation of
the Merced properties is difficult to obtain.
In his report of 1903, Mr. Grunsky, City Engineer, estimates value of Lake
Merced property at $2,573,293; Mr. Woodward, City Engineer, in 1907, esti-
mates it at $2,702,979, plus $3,000. It is said that a real estate firm in this
city has estimated the value of the property at $13,000,000 to $16,000,000.
The Lake Merced system supplies about three and one-half million gallons
per day, or about 10% of all the water furnished the City. The average present
daily supply is nearly thirty-five million gallons, and this is believed to be
about the existing capacity of supply of the Spring Valley Water Company. It
is barely sufficient for present demand. Colonel Mendel, in his exhaustive re-
port of 1877, estimates that by an expenditure of $6,836,200 the Alameda sys-
tem may be developed so that the company can furnish about eighty million
gallons per day, and that said amount is about the ultimate limit of the water
resources of the company.
In a paper recently prepared by Mr. Schussler for the Commonwealth Club
of San Francisco it was stated that the Alameda system can be developed to
produce a reliable yield of between seventy and seventy-five million gallons
1388 WATER SUPPLY
per day ; that the Peninsula system, by taking in the San Gregorio and Pescadero
watershed, by raising its Crystal Springs dam and obtaining additional water
from Purissima, Lower Pilarcitos and Locks creeks, can be developed so as
to furnish a daily supply of forty-five millions of gallons. This would aggre-
gate an average daily supply of one hundred and ten to one hundred and
twenty millions of gallons. This would suffice for the requirements of about
one million people. Professor Marx estimates that this population may be
reached about the year 1940.
Additional water must eventually be obtained from other sources, probably
from the Sierras. To bring this water to the City may take ten years of time.
The City is growing; in ten years its water requirements will probably amount
to fifty-two million gallons per day. This additional supply or increase for
economical reasons will probably come from a development the San Antonio
creek country in Alameda County. From information furnished by the Chief
Engineer of the Spring Valley Water Company it has been roughly estimated
that this locality, with an expenditure of about one million dollars, will, after
one year's time, furnish about ten million gallons per day. If more than this
is required, the Arroyo Valley may be developed at an estimated cost of a little
more than two or two and one-half millions of dollars, and it will furnish about
twenty millions of gallons per day.
Calaveras Creek may also be developed at an expenditure of between ten
and eleven millions of dollars, and will furnish an estimated daily supply of
thirty million gallons. At present this development is not deemed advisable,
for the following reasons: First, That it will take at least three years to build
the dam, or before any water from that source can be supplied; second, There is
a question to be determined as to the legal rights of the Spring Valley Water
Company to a part of its water resources in Alameda County ; third, Uncertainty
as to whether or not at reasonable expense a satisfactory foundation can be
obtained for the proposed high dam in the Calaveras watershed; fourth, The
reported lowering of the water table in Alameda County by the drafts made
upon its subterranean waters.
To get waters from the San Gregorio and Pescadero on the coast will cost
more, and on account of numerous tunnels will take longer than to obtain it
from Alameda County.
Unless the City purchases or acquires the Spring Valley Water Company's
system, it is probable that none of the Alameda County properties will be
developed. This system now supplies the City with about fifteen millions of
gallons per day. The supply from the Peninsula system is at present only
capable of furnishing about twenty millions of gallons per day.
Immediate action is believed to be necessary. To postpone needed exten
sions to the present water works system is dangerous. The present owners
allege that because of a lack of funds, or their inability to advantageously sell
bonds, they cannot extend the system. Provision must be made at once to
increase the water supply from thirty-five million gallons per day to fifty or
sixty million gallons per day, and steps should be taken to secure an ultimate
supply of not less than two hundred million gallons per day.
'I'll.- question of water supply for this City has been fully discussed before
the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, and the final report of its Section of
Social Welfare is as follows:
• ' Hcsolution, April 10, 1907.
"When as. A pure and abundant supply of water is an imperative neces-
sity foi' San Francisco and its neighbor cities: and whereas, the public is not
in possession of sufficient information to decide wisely between the different
sources of Sierra supply; and whereas, the two Sierra projects favored by the

present and preceding City administrations have been complicated with irrele-
vant questions; and whereas, it is important that the people be assisted in
their choice by competent arid unbiased authority ; be it

Board of Supervisors reappoint the Board of Engineers to which the examina-
tion of water projects was committed last year and that this board be instructed
to determine :
"First — The source of water supply in the Sierra Nevada Mountains that
will, at the least cost, and in the shortest time, provide the best and most eligible
supply to meet the present and future needs of San Francisco, with a possible
addition of Oakland and Alameda.
"Second — The best route on which to bring the water to this City.
"Third — The best and most economical plan for securing a distributing
system.' '
The above resolutions cover the whole ground. In the above recommenda-
tions with the exception that the investigation should include only the San
Francisco supply, we heartily concur.
Besides a Sierra supply, we believe we must have the Spring Valley system.
It has been shown how a valuation of between thirty and thirty-one millions of
dollars for the system was obtained as an average of fourteen different estimates,
which include those of the company's experts and which appear large.
As to the Merced Ranch, within the City limits, from which three and one-
half million gallons of water, of questionable purity, is drawn daily, it may
be regarded as an emergency supply. In case of pipe breakage it might serve
as a temporary supply, and to that extent only is valuable as a source of water.
Should the City acquire the Merced Ranch, it could, under a Charter amend-
ment, resell the land in subdivisions after first having created park drives and
open spaces, and protecting by dike and bulkhead the lake waters from surface
seepage ; the lake itself is fed by subterranean springs.
As San Francisco is deficient in suburbs, this large acreage within the
City limits should not be excluded from settlement. Such a plan as this could
be entertained after the City had secured a Sierra supply.
We have given the average value of the whole based on various estimates.
The market value of the bonds ((a 83) and the stock at 20 amounts to
$5,000,000 for the stock and $14,822,970 for the bonds, or a total of
$20,422,970.
It is safe to say that should an attempt be made to buy all the stock, its
price would rapidly appreciate. On the other hand, should the City not purchase
the Spring Valley Water Company's properties, but construct its own works
and distributing system, the market value would show still greater depreciation.
The bonds yield 4% interest on par and mature in 1925. There are $17,859,000
issued out of $28,000,000 authorized. On December 31, 1905, sufficient bonds
were underwritten at 93 to take up the old bonded indebtedness of $14,500,000,
and other bonds have been sold at about the same rate. Due to the condition
of the money market and to the late disaster, in which the Spring Valley Water
Company's property was considerably damaged, the stock fell to 20 and the
new bonds to 83. At 80 they would yield 5%.
The property of the Spring Valley Water Company has actually depreciated
in value because it is not able to furnish as much nor as pure a supply as it was
before the disaster, and the weak spits of the system have been exposed. It is
only entitled to a return upon its value, whatever be the causes of depreciation.
This is one of the ordinary risks of ownership. When it rehabilitates its plant
it will be entitled to :i return on the increased value of its property. So when
1390
WATER SUPPLY
stockholders, as in this case, assess themselves, they add value which should
yield revenue.
Private individuals have suffered loss by reason of the late disaster and
have begun uncomplainingly to restore their property. They are not insured an
income by law, but they may profit by a speculative advance.
Unlike private property, however, quasi-public property, invested with a
public use, is practically barred from speculative advances, and if the property
suffers injury, the stockholders should restore it with a guarantee that they
will receive interest on their new investment.
The courts have held: "The cost of the system cannot be used as a basis
for fixing rates, but only its present value."
The cost of the system is presumably represented by the stocks and bonds.
These are selling below par; that is to say, the public is unwilling to buy the
property at its cost.
The peculiar character of quasi-public property subject to regulation cer-
tainly affects its value. But its character is stamped on it by the Constitution,
and it has no other character. If private citizens choose to deal in so essential
a commodity as water, and subject their investments to constitutional limitations,
they cannot complain.
No one will buy property which has no speculative value and whose income
is determined by interested third parties.
All these considerations tend to keep down the value of the property of a
water company under the laws of the State of California and almost compel
municipal ownership.
We recommend that the city authorities by negotiation agree upon a price
with the company, for all or such portion of said property as may be desired
and at that price an option to purchase for five years be immediately secured,
and that thereafter a bond election be ordered, at which the citizens may have
an opportunity to vote.
Respectfully submitted,
For the Committee,
W. H. HEUER, Chairman.

PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR —
TUOLUMNE PROJECT.
After the hearing given by the Secretary of the Interior at San Francisco,
July 24, 1907, and according to the understanding arrived at by all interested
parties, briefs were filed with the Secretary at Washington, by the legal repre-
sentatives of the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts and by Marsden Man-
son, City Engineer. These briefs were published in the ' 'Reports on the Water
Supplies -of San Francisco (1908), pages 169-216.
Thereafter, on May 11, 1908, the Secretary rendered the following decision:
Decision of the Secretary of the Interior Department, Washington, D. C.,
granting the City and County of San Francisco, subject to certain conditions,
reservoir sites and rights of way at Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy Valley in
the Yosemite National Park:
Department of the Interior, Washington, May 11, 1908.
Water Supply, City of San Francisco — Application for Lake Eleanor and Hetch
Hetchy Valley Reservoir Sites, Act of February 15, 1901.
The Commissioner of the General Land Office.
Sir: — October 15, 1901, James D. Phelan, then Mayor of the City of San
Francisco, filed application for reservoir rights of way within the Yosemite
National Park upon what are known as the Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy
Valley reservoir sites. This application was made under the act of February 15,
1901, and was in fact the application of the City made in the name of James D.
Phelan to avoid the difficulties which beset a city if it must announce its busi-
ness intentions to the public before securing options and rights necessary for
its project. This is not disputed, and the fact is corroborated by his assigning
to the City and County of San Francisco, on February 20, 1903, all his rights
under the above application.
This application was considered by the Secretary of the Interior and, on
December 22, 1903, rejected on the ground that he did not have the legal power
to allow such a right of way within the Yosemite National Park. From that time
to this the City h;is? with practical continuity, pressed its request for a permit
1392 WATER SUPPLY
to use these reservoir sites. The City failed, however, to take steps to reopen
this case in the form prescribed by the Rules of Practice of this Department,
and for that reason, technically had no application on file after December 22,
1903. On the other hand, the City's evident good faith and the strong evidence
that it supposed its application was alive in the Department is shown by the
fact that at its request and solicitation the question of the power of the Secretary
of the Interior to grant the rights of way applied for was referred to the
Attorney-General, who, on October 28, 1905, held definitely that the Secretary
of the Interior had full discretionary power to grant rights of way for reservoir,
irrigation, or hydro-electric purposes within the Park.
When the Secretary's decision of December 22, 1903, was made final, the
maps of location for the two reservoir sites were returned to the City, and
unfortunately were destroyed by the fire which followed the earthquake of 1906.
Fortunately, however, exact tracings of these maps had been made by the City
Engineer for use in court proceedings, and for that reason it has been possible
to file exact reproductions of the original maps, certified by the City Engineer.
When the attention of the City's representative was called to the fact that tech-
nically the City had no application before the Department, he, on May 7, 1908,
formally filed a petition requesting the Secretary of the Interior to exercise his
supervisory authority and reopen the matter of the application of James D.
Phelan for the reservoir rights in question, thus treating it as though it had
never lapsed. I have given the most careful consideration to this petition, and
have decided that the facts mentioned above are ample grounds for exercising
my supervisory power, and therefore reinstate the application of James D.
Phelan, assigned to the City, as though the case had been technically kept alive
since December 22, 1903, by specific compliance with the Rules of Practice of
the Department. To this end the tracings of the original maps of location as
recertified by Marsden Manson, City Engineer, on April 22, 1908, will be
accepted in lieu of the original and treated accordingly.
Congress, on February 15, 1901, provided specifically:
"The Secretary of the Interior * * * is authorized * * *to permit
the use of rights of way through * * * the Yosemite, Sequoia and General
Grant National Parks, California, for * * * water conduits and for water
plants, dams, and reservoirs used to promote * the supply of water
for domestic, public, or other beneficial uses * * * provided that such
permits shall be allowed within or through any of said parks * * * only
upon the approval of the chief officer of the Department, under whose super-
vision such park or reservation falls, and upon a finding by him that the same
is not incompatible with the public interest."
By these words Congress has given power to the Secretary of the Interior
to grant the rights applied for by the City of San Francisco, if he finds that
the permit "is not incompatible with the public interest." Therefore I need
only consider the effect of granting the application upon "the public interest."
In construing the words of a statute, the evident and ordinary meaning
should be taken, when such meaning is reasonable and not repugnant to the
evident purpose of the law itself. On .this broad principle the words "the public
interest" should not be confined merely to the public interest in the Yosemite
National Park for use as a park only, but rather the broader public interest
which requires these reservoir sites to be utilized for the highest good to the
greatest number of people. If Congress had intended to restrict the meaning
to the mere interest of the public in the park as such, it surely would have
used specific words to show that intent. At the time the act was- passed there
was no authority of law for the granting of privileges of this character in the
Yosemite National Park. Congress recognized the interest of the public in the
WATER SUPPLY 1393
utilization of the great water resources of the Park and specifically gave power
to the Secretary of the Interior to permit such u ;e. The proviso was evidently
added merely as a reminder that he should weig'i well the public interest both
in and out of the Park before making his decision.
The present water supply of the City of San Francisco is both inadequate
and unsatisfactory. This fact has been known for a number of years and has
led to a very extensive consideration of the various possible sources of supply.
The search for water for the City has been prosecuted from two diametrically
opposite points of view. On the one side, the water companies, interested in
supplying the City with water for their own profit, have taken advantage of the
long delay since it was first proposed to bring water from the Yosemite to San
Francisco to look up and get control, so far as they could, of the available
sources in order to sell them to the City. On the other hand, both the National
Government and the City of San Francisco have made careful study of the
possible sources of supply for the City. Four or five years ago, the Hydrographic
Branch of the Geological Survey, after a careful examination by engineers of
character and ability, reached the conclusion that the Tuolumne River offered a
desirable and available supply for the City. The same conclusion was reached
by the engineers of the City of San Francisco after years of exhaustive investi-
gation.
I appreciate keenly the interest of the public in preserving the natural
wonders of the Park and am unwilling that the Hetch Hetchy Valley site should
be developed until the needs of tho City are greater than can be supplied from
the Lake Eleanor site when developed to its full capacity. Domestic use, however,
especially for a municipal supply, is the highest use to which water and available
storage basins therefor can be put. Recognizing this the City has expressed a
willingness to regard the public interest in the Hetch Hetchy Valley and defer
its use as long as possible.
The next great use of water and water resources is irrigation. There are
in the San Joaquin Valley two large irrigation districts, the Turlock and
Modesto, which have already appropriated under State law 2,350 second feet
of the normal floAv of water through Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy. The
representatives of these districts protested strongly against the granting of the
permit to San Francisco, being fearful that the future complete development
of these irrigation communities would be materially hampered by the City's
use of water. After repeated conferences, however, with the representatives of
these irrigation districts I believe their rights can be fully safeguarded, provided
certain definite stipulations to protect the irrigators are entered into by the
City. Fortunately, the City can agree to this, and the interest of the two users
will not conflict. On the contrary, the City in Developing its water supply will
to a considerable extent help the irrigation districts in their further development.
The only other source of objection, except that from persons and corpora-
tions who have no rights to protect but merely the hope of financial gain if
the application of the City is denied, comes from those who have a special inter-
est in cur National Parks from the standpoint of scenic effects, natural wonders
and health and pleasure resorts. I appreciate fully the feeling of these pro-
testants and have considered their protests and arguments with great interest
and sympathy. The use of these sites for reservoir purposes would interfere
with the present condition of the Park, and that consideration should be
weighed carefully against the great use which the City can make of the permit.
I am convinced, however, that "the public interest" will be much better con-
served by granting the permit. Hetch Hetchy Valley is great and beautiful in
its natural and scenic effects. If it were also unique, sentiment for its preser-
vation in an absolutely natural state would be far greater. In the mere vicinity,
however, much more accessible to the public and more wonderful and beautiful,
1394 WATER SUPPLY
is the Yosemite Valley itself. Furthermore, the reservoir will not destroy Hetch
Hetchy. It will scarcely affect the canyon walls. It will not reach the foot of
the various falls which descend from the sides of the canyon. The prime change
will be that, instead of a beautiful but somewhat unusable ''meadow'' floor, the
valley will be a lake of rare beauty.
As against this partial loss to the scenic effect of the Park, the advantages
to the public from the change are many and great: The City of San Francisco
and probably the other cities on San Francisco Bay woiild have one of the finest
and purest water supplies in the world; the irrigable land in the Tuolumne and
San Joaquin Valleys would be helped out by the use of the excess stored water
and by using the electrical power not needed by the City for municipal pur-
poses, to piimp subterranean water for the irrigation of additional areas, the
City would have a cheap and bountiful supply of electric energy for pumping
its water supply and lighting the City and its municipal buildings; the public
would have a highway at its disposal to reach this beautiful region of the Park
heretofore practically inaccessible; this road would be built and maintained by
the City without expense to the Government or the general public ; the City has
options on land held in private ownership within the Yosemite National Park,
and would purchase this land and make it available to the public for camping
purposes; the settlers and entrymen who acquired this land naturally chose the
finest localities, and at present have power to exclude the public from the
best camping places ; and further, the City in protecting its water supply would
furnish to the public a patrol to save this part of the park from destructive
and disfiguring forest fires.
The floor of the Hetch Hetchy Valley, part of which is owned privately and
used as a cattle ranch, would become a lake bordered by vertical granite walls
or steep banks of broken granite. Therefore, when the water is drawn very
low it will leave few muddy edges exposed. This lake, however, would be
practically full during the greater part of the tourist season in each year, and
there would be practically no difficulty in making trails and roads for the use
of the tourists around the edges of the Valley above high water mark. The
City of San Francisco, through its regularly authorized representative, has. in
order to protect the interests most directly involved, agreed to file with the
Secretary of the Interior a stipulation approved by specific Resolution of the
Board of Supervisors and duly executed under the seal of the City of San
Francisco as follows:
"1. The City of San Francisco practically owns all the patented land in
the floor of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir site and sufficient adjacent areas in the
Fosemite National Park and the Sierra National Forest to equal the remainder
of that reservoir area. The City will surrender to the United States equivalent
areas outside of the reservoir sites and within the National Park and adjacent
reserves in exchange for the remaining land in the reservoir sites, for which
authority from Congress will be obtained if necessary.
"2. The City and County of San Francisco distinctly understands and
agrees that all the rules and regulations for the government of the Park, now
or hereafter in force, shall be applicable to its holdings within the Park, and
that except to the extent that the necessary use of its holdings for the exclu-
sive purpose of storing and protecting water for the uses herein specified will
be interfered with, the public may have the full enjoyment thereof, under regu-
lations fixed by the Secretary of the Interior.
"3. The City and County of San Francisco will develop the Lake Kleimor
site to its full capacity before beginning the development of the Hetch Hetchy
site, and the development of the latter will be begun only when the needs of
the City and County of San Francisco and adjacent cities, which may join with
it in obtaining a common water supply, may require such development. As the
WATER SUPPLY 1395
drainage area tributary to Lake Eleanor will not yield, under conditions herein
imposed, sufficient runoff in dry years to replenish the reservoir, a diverting
dam and canal from Cherry Creek to Lake Eleanor reservoir for the conduct of
waste flood or extra-seasonal waters to said reservoir is essential for the
development of the site to its full capacity, and will be constructed if permission
is given by the Secretary of the Interior.
' '4. The City and County of San Francisco, and any other city or cities
which may, with the approval of the municipal authorities, join with said City
and County of San Francisco in obtaining a common water supply, will not
interfere in the slightest particular with the right of the Modesto Irrigation
District and the Turlock Irrigation District to use the natural flow of the
Tuolumne River and its branches to the full extent of their claims, as follows:
Turlock Irrigation District, 1,500 second feet; Modesto Irrigation District, 850
second feet; these districts having respectively appropriated the foregoing
amounts of water under the laws of the State of California.
"To the end that these rights may be fully protected, San Francisco will
stipulate not to store nor cause to be stored, divert, nor cause to be diverted
from the Tuolumne River or any of its branches, any of the natural flow of said
river when desired for use by said districts, for any beneficial purpose, unless
this natural flow of the river and tributaries above La Grange dam be in excess
of the actual capacities of the canals of said districts, even when they shall
have been brought up to the full volumes named, 1,500 second feet for the
Turlock Irrigation District and 850 second feet for the Modesto Irrigation
District.
"5. The City and County of San Francisco will in no way interefere with
the storage of flood waters, in sites other than Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor
by the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts or either of said districts for
use in said districts, and will return to the Tuolumne River above the La Grange
dam, for the use of said irrigation districts, all surplus or waste flow of the
river which may be used for power.
"6. The City of San Francisco will upon request sell to said Modesto and
Turlock Irrigation Districts for the use of any land owner or owners therein
for pumping sub-surface water for drainage or irrigation any excess of electric
power which may be generated such as may not be used for the water supply
herein provided and for the actual municipal purposes of the City and County
of San Francisco (which purposes shall not include sale to private persons nor
to corporations) at such price as will actually reimburse the said City and
County for developing anfl transmitting the surplus electrical energy thus sold,
the price in case of dispute to be fixed by the Secretary of the Interior; and
no power plant shall bo interposed on the line of flow except by the said City
and County except for the purposes and under the limitations above set forth.
''7. The City and County of San Francisco will agree that the Secretary
of the Interior shall at his discretion, or when called upon by either the City
or the Districts to do so, direct the apportionment and measurement of the water
in accordance with the terms of the preceding clauses of this stipulation.
"8. The City and County of San Francisco, when it begins the develop-
ment of the Hetch Hetchy site, will undertake and vigorously prosecute to com-
pletion a dam at least 150 feet high, with a foundation capable of supporting
the dam when built to its greatest economic and safe height, and whenever in
the opinion of the engineer in charge of the reservoirs on behalf of said City
and County and of the municipalities sharing in this supply, the volume of
water on storage in the reservoirs herein applied for is in excess of the seasonal
requirements of said municipalities, and that it is safe to do so, that such excess
will be liberated at such times and in such amounts as said districts may desig-
1396 WATEE SUPPLY
nate, at a price to said districts not to exceed the proportionate cost of storage
and sinking fund chargeable to the volumes thus liberated, the price in case of
dispute to be fixed by the Secretary of the Interior; provided, that no pro-
scriptive or other right shall ever inure or attach to said districts by user or
otherwise to the water thus liberated.
"9. The City and County of San Francisco will, within two years after
the grant by the Secretary of the Interior of the rights hereby applied for,
submit the question of said water supply to the vote of its citizens as required
by its Charter, and within three years thereafter, if such vote be affirmative, will
commence the actual construction of the Lake Eleanor dam and will carry the
same to completion with all reasonable diligence, so that said reservoir may be
completed within five years after the commencement thereof, unless such times
hereinbefore specified shall be extended by the Secretary of the Interior for
cause shown by the City, or the construction delayed by litigation; and unless
the construction of said reservoir is authorized by a vote of the said City and
County, and said work is commenced, carried on and completed within the times
herein specified, all rights granted hereunder shall revert to the Government."
In considering the reinstated application of the City of San Francisco, I
do not need to pass upon the claim that this is the only practicable and reason-
able source of water supply for the City. It is sufficient that after careful and
competent study the officials of the City insist that such is the case. By granting
the application opportunity will be given for the City, by obtaining the necessary
two-thirds majority vote, to demonstrate the practical question as to whether or
not this is the water supply desired and needed by the residents of San
Francsico.
I therefore approve the maps of location for the Lake Eleanor and Hetch
Hetchy reservoir sites as filed by James D. Phelan and assigned to the City of
San Francisco, subject to the filing by the City of the stipulation set forth above,
and the fulfillment of the conditions therein contained.
Very respectfully,
JAMES R. GARFIELD,
Secretary.
Filed with the Board of Supervisors, May 18, 1908, by Marsden Manson,
City Engineer.
The foregoing grants, subject to the conditions imposed therein, were ac-
cepted and ratified by the Board of Supervisors by Resolution No. 2342 (New
Series), approved by the Mayor June 4, 1908.
ELECTION PROCEEDINGS.
In compliance with the conditions imposed by the Secretary of the Interior
in the grant of May 11, 1908, the Board of Supervisors commenced proceedings
to hold an election to ascertain the views of the electors in respect thereto.
The following is a summary of said proceedings:
June 22, 1909, Ordinance 492 (New Series), declaring that the public
interest demanded the acquisition of a water supply was finally passed.
July 13, 1908, Ordinance No. 505 (New Series), soliciting offers for the sale
of a water supply, was finally passed.
September 21, 1908, plans and estimates of cost were filed by the Board
of Ptiblic Works, as follows:

of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — There is herewith transmitted plans and estimates of date
July 23, 1908, prepared by the City Engineer under authority of and in com-
pliance with Ordinance No. 492 (New Series), approved June 23, 1908. This
report outlines and recommends the first steps necessary for the acquiring of
reservoir lands, rights of way, etc., for the original construction of works for a
water supply, the designated -available sources being Tuoluinne River, Lake
Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy Reservoirs, State of California.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS,
By Robt. J. Loughery, Secretary.
Enclosure :
Office of Board of Public Works,
San Francisco, July 23, 1908.
To the Honorable Board of Public Works
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — Under* Ordinance No. 492, approved June 23, 1908, I am
directed to file with your Honorable Board plans and estimates for the original
construction of works for a water supply, the designated available sources being
Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy Valley and the waters of Tuolumne River, in
Tuolumne County, California. It will be observed that these sources were
selected by this City in 1901 and rights thereto were filed upon October 15th
of that year. These applications were prosecuted to the granting of the rights
at Washington, May 11, 1908, by the Hon. James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary of
the Interior.
There are two essential conditions fixed in this grant which must be com-
plied with to make it of effect in giving this City the extremely valuable rights
designated therein: Namely, stipulations Nos. 1 and 9. Under the first of these
conditions the City must perfect its acquisition of ownership and under the
other condition, No. 9, the City authorities must submit to popular vote, within
vwo years after the date of grant, namely May 11, 1908, the acceptance or
rejection thereof. The sooner this can be done the better, as it gives the electors
of this City an opportunity to say whether they want this source of water supply
or whether they prefer the existing condition with its risks, entanglements,
endless, litigations and annual rate fixing. If the people desire to accept the
source now open to them, they are entitled to an opportunity to say so, their
action, if affirmative, will afford the present administration time to perfect land
purchases and exchanges before March 4, 1909, when the United States officers
familiar with this subject will in part retire.
1398 WATER SUPPLY
To carry out the first stipulation or condition of this grant options were
obtained upon all patented lands in Hetch-Hetchy Valley and upon four other
tracts adjacent, for exchange for lands in the reservoirs; and, an effort made to
close them by making the first payment of $10,000.00. This step was thwarted
by adverse action of the Auditor, whereupon this payment was met by a popular
loan to the City by high-minded citizens. The advantageous purchase of lands
in and adjacent to these reservoirs named in the grant was thereby kept possible
for a time under the terms of the options now held, but forfeitable unless the
later payments named therein be made. These aggregate $165,800.00, which
with interest, fees, etc., may reach $185,000.00.
One of the conditions essential to fulfilling this option is the payment not
later than 90 days, after an election early in November or by February 1st, 1909,
of $50,000.00 upon the purchase price. (See options and agreements in the
hands of His Honor, the Mayor.) The present status, therefore, of this vital
matter is as follows:
The most abundant, available and purest source has been selected and its
acquisition now depends upon the carrying out of the certain conditions above
reviewed. These conditions, considering the value of the acquisition, are ex-
tremely simple and require less expenditure to complete than has ever been
necessary for the acquisition of an adequate source of water supply for any
community of the size of San Francisco. "Whatever may be the outcome of the
present controversies over the rates and purchases of the existing supply the
magnificent sources now available should be secured, and no effort nor step
should be delayed to make this an accomplished fact.
In every effort to secure a municipal water supply since 1871, this City
has been shunted off the course in one way or another. In the attempt of
1875-6 the direct purchase of the source under consideration by the City was
resorted to; in 1900 the objection was made that the Charter had not been
technically followed; in 1903 the purposes of the City were thwarted by repre-
sentations forestalling the presentation of the City's application; and, by the
inauguration of an apparently interminable lawsuit over a side issue. From
1904 to 1908, and despite official abandonment by Resolution of the Board of
Supervisors in 1906, the claim of the City was kept ^ alive by individual and
unofficial effort. In 1908, it was not found possible to thwart the case of the
City in Washington, but an "offer of sale" was made along a line palpably
impossible under the Charter; and when the direct steps were taken looking to
the solicitation of an offer of sale on the prescribed line of the Charter, this
"offer of sale" was withdrawn and anpther digressive lawsuit pushed to the
front in the shape of an injunction; what further obstacle will be raised to
prevent action by the people of this City on this vital question remains to be
developed.
These facts are recalled here in order to emphasize the necessity of holding
to a persistent and coherent policy so that the efforts to secure an adequate
supply which have been in progress since 1900 may not be artfully turned into
irrelevant and abortive lines. The great public interests and intent should not
be diverted from the proper course, namely, the acquisition of an adequate source,
to be used either as a re-enforcing or as an independent supply — the former if a
reasonable purchase can be made of existing works, the latter if umvasonablc
and exhorbitant demands be insisted upon.
There is, therefore, submitted the following Progress Report upon the matter
referred to me by your letter forwarding Ordinance No. 492 of June 23, 1908,
directing the submission of plans and estimates of cost of the acquisition of a
water supply.
The first essential step in carrying out this Ordinance is the acquisition of
the available sources designated therein and made possible by the grant of May
WATER SUPPLY 1399
11. 1908. It will be observed that a considerable portion of the cost of this
acquisition can, under Section 5, Article XII of the Charter, be paid from the
annual revenues of the City. It would be manifestly unreasonable to subject
the City to the burden of a bonded debt to meet an expense, much of which
can be met as above indicated. I, therefore, recommend (1) that the Board
olf Supervisors be requested to declare the acquisition of lands for reservoir
purposes a public utility and to proceed to acquire the same by purchase and
contract; (2) that in order to carry out the provisions of the Ordinance and
acquire the properties and rights essential thereto that a bonded indebtedness of
$750,000.00 be incurred for the acquisition by purchase or condemnation of
lands in and adjacent to Lake Eleanor and such rights of way for reservoirs,
flumes, canals, etc., as are necessary to carry out the first requirements con-
templated under the Ordinance and as herein designated.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RESERVOIRS AND THE DRAINAGE AREAS
TRIBUTARY THERETO.
Lake Eleanor is situated 136 miles east of San Francisco on the west slope
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is about 300 acres in extent and lies in a
broad flat valley enclosed by precipitous walls of granite, narrowing at the
lower end of the valley. It is 4,700 feet above sea level and receives the direct
drainage from 83 square miles and by a diverting canal 6 miles long from 103
square miles additional of uninhabitable mountain slopes which reach an altitude
of 11,000 feet, and receive a mean annual precipitation of from 40 to 50 inches,
most of which is snow. These areas are more than four and one-half (4*£)
times that tributary to the Peninsula system of reservoirs, which latter receives
a mean annual rainfall of from -35 to 50 inches. It is not now necessary to
discuss the relative periods of deficiency in precipitation which recur from
time to time in each area.
The capacity of the Lake Eleanor Reservoir is as follows:
Height of Dam Capacity of Reservoir
130 feet 6,282 million gals.
150 feet 13,108 million gals.
175 feet 25,000 million gals.
200 feet 39,000 million gals.
Hetch Hetchy reservoir is about 140 miles from San Francisco on the main
fork of the Tuolumne River and is about 3,700 feet above sea level. It receives
the drainage from 452 square miles of the uninhabitable slopes of the Sierra
Nevada, reaching to elevation of over 13,000 feet and receiving a mean annual
precipitation of from 40 to 50 inches, nearly all in snow. This area is 148
square miles less than that tributary to Sunol Dam, but this latter area receives
a mean annual rainfall of from 15 to 30 inches subject to periods of great varia-
tion, supports populous and growing towns and quite a well distributed and in-
creasing agricultural and pastoral' population. These comparisons with areas
with which you are familiar are made to convey a clear conception of the drain1
age areas and conditions in the Sierras with which equal familiarity is impossible
to many.
The capacity of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is as follows:
Height of Dam Capacity of Reservoir
100 feet 16,213 million gals.
150 feet 33,071 million gals.
' 200 feet - 48,600 million gals.
250 feet ... 66,000 million gals.
1400
WATEE SUPPLY
A dam at this site 250 feet high is well within the possibilities of the site ;
and, at this height, will hold two and a half times the combined capacities of
all the Peninsula reservoirs. The new Croton reservoir for New York holds
31,000,000 gallons, or less than one-half the Hetch Hetchy reservoir at its
reasonable development.
Moreover, for from five to six months each year the flood discharge of
Tuolumne River is available for use without drawing on the two reservoirs
above named. Including Lake Eleanor reservoir at its maximum capacity the
combined storage is more than five and a half times that of the combined
Peninsula reservoirs. These comparisons afford a better conception of the water
resources which it is now possible to secure for this City by prompt and
effective action. No adequate comparison of the ultimate purity of these sources
with that now in use is possible, nor indeed necessary.
The water liberated from Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy reservoirs will
flow along the almost inaccessible gorges of Tuolumne River and Cherry Creek,
about 16 miles to a point in the Tuolumne gorge about 130 miles distant from
San Francisco in 'an air line, and by canals and conduits planned in 1901, 182
miles, this can be shortened by about 5% miles.
Two power and one pumping station are located on this line, also four
equalizing reservoirs as indicated on the plan submitted herewith. The sites
for these were tentatively selected in 1901; but it may be possible to change
these to alternative locations and the alignment of the conduit may be slightly
corrected.
There are submitted herewith: ,
(1) A general plan of the region from the summit of the Sierras to San
Francisco on which are indicated the drainage areas, reservoirs, route traversed,
,and the main features of the problem.
This plan is entitled:
Map of the Region between San Francisco and the
Summit of the Sierras
Showing the Factors of
The Tuolumne Source of Water Supply.
July 24th, 1908.
(2) A plan of Lake Eleanor Reservoir.
(3) A plan of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir.
(Nos. 2 and 3 are reproduced from the surveys of 1901.)
(4) A plat of lands held under options.'
The reports and estimates of my predecessor, Mr. Grunsky, called for
$918,000.00 to be expended for lands, irrigation, water rights, and rights of
way outside San Francisco. It is not now necessary to provide for the expendi-
ture of this amount for the following reasons: (1) The results of pending pro-
ceedings soliciting offers of sale of the existing supply cannot be foreseen.
(2) A portion of the required property can be acquired by purchase from funds
available from the annual revenue.
I estimate that in addition to these funds, a bond issue of $750,OOOiOO
should be made available to be sold in amounts of not less than $100,000.00 as
WATER SUPPLY 1401
required for the purchase or condemnation of lands, rights of way for reservoirs,,
canals, power stations, etc., etc., as follows:
ESTIMATE OF COST OF RIGHTS AND LANDS NOW NECESSARY TO-
ACQUIRE FOR A SIERRA WATER SUPPLY.
For purchase of lands in and adjacent to Hetch Hetchy reservoir $165,800.00-
Contingencies, fees, etc 19,200.00
For purchase or condemnation of lands for rights of way for canals,
power and pumping stations, reservoirs, Lake Eleanor lands, etc. 465,000.00
Contingencies, fees, etc 100,000.00-
$750,000.00'
I, therefore, recommend that a bond issue for the above amount, namely,
$750,000.00, be submitted to popular vote in November next. This will carry
out stipulation No. 9 of the grant; and, if approved by popular vote, will make
available the means to systematically meet the other condition of the grant and
acquire for the City the rights necessary for the ultimate development of a
water supply of unparallelled abundance and purity.
In order that the steps herein outlined might be taken in accordance with
the Charter, I addressed an inquiry to the City Attorney on the 9th inst.,
requesting him to outline the legal steps which are necessary to take and secure
the rights to these reservoir lands. His reply is submitted herewith.
In conformity with this opinion, I further recommend that, as the prelim-
inary Ordinance mentioned under I of the City Attorney's letter has been
passed (Ordinance No. 492, under which these actions are taken.) This progress
report carries out the second step in so far as it relates to the acquisition of the
reservoir rights, etc. As soon as the provisions of the Charter admit, an
Ordinance calling a special election at which to submit to the electors the
proposition of incurring a bonded indebtedness of $750,000.00 should be pre-
pared and advanced to effect : in order that the people of this city may have an
opportunity of expressing their approval or disapproval of acquiring a Sierra
source of domestic water supply of the rarest purity and abundance; and,
which has been selected by engineers thoroughly familiar with the available
sources and made possible of acceptance through the broad and generous policy
of the National Government in the grant of May 11, 1908; when ownership to
these valuable rights shall have been thus perfected they can be made the basis
of a bond issue for their development and utilization.

Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS,
By Robt. J. Loughery, Secretary.
Enclosure :
Office of Board of Public Works,
San Francisco, September 14, 1908.
To the Honorable,
the Board of Public Works,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — Under authority of and in compliance with Ordinance No. 492
(N. S.), approved June 23, 1908, I submit herewith plans and estimates for
the original construction of works for a water supply for the City and County
of San Francisco, the designated available sources being Lake Eleanor and Hetch
Hetchy reservoirs and the waters of Tuolumne River, Tuolumne County, Cali-
fornia.
It will be noted:
(1) That these sources were filed upon on October 15, 1901, and these fil-
ings continuously prosecuted to the granting of reservoir rights of way by the
Hon. James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary of the Interior, at Washington, on May
11, 1908. The securing of these rights are conditional upon the expression of
their acceptance by popular vote ; and upon the exchange of lands, upon which
options are held in the interest of the City, for the public lands in the reservoir
areas.
Since the date above named, work has been continued in securing- lands,
surveys of the same and in necessary office studies, etc.
(2) Also that in the year following the filings above named, very care-
fully prepared plans and estimates for the development of these sources were
made. These plans and estimates showed the cost of utilizing these sources
either as an independent or as a re-enforcing supply. For supposed reasons of
economy, the plans and estimates made in 1900-2 were not fully published and
widely distributed at the time as they should have been. Hence the public has
been misled through ignorance or design into the idea that no complete study
of the problem of water supply was made. The facts are that several years'
time of the engineers then on the Board of Public Works, of City Engineer
Grunsky, re-enforced by the advantage of the advice and counsel of Consulting
Engineer Desmond Fitzgerald, were devoted to the problem. Field and office
parties were kept for nearly a year at work at a cost of $40,000, and a very
complete set of plans and estimates were made. The results of this work,
through a misguided spirit of economy, have not been properly laid before the
public. Hence it has been difficult to meet statements ignorantly or purposely
put forth against the propositions then recommended.
For these portions of the works which lie beyond the City limits, no material
changes in these plans and estimates are necessary to fit them to present con-
ditions: iron and cement, the two materials of largest cost have cheapened some-
what; while labor, tin- other large factor, has increased, the changes about off-
setting one another in the ultimate cost of the works. Under the conditions
imposed by the Government, in making the grant of reservoir rights of way.
Lake Eleanor Reservoir must be first developed. This condition necessitates the
only change, in the estimates of those portions of the works which lie beyond the
WATER SUPPLY 1403
City limits. No other change is necessary, for the head works in the canon of
Tuolumne River are common to both reservoirs and are reached by gravity
along the gorges in which their waters naturally flow.
As will be noted in detail later on, four very important factors affecting-
the cost of the City Distribution system have entered the problem since 1902.
These are :
(1) The construction of 92 miles of high pressure fire protection mains
will materially decrease the size and cost of mains for domestic and industrial
supply in the districts covered by the auxiliary fire protection system now
under way.
(2) Developments since April, 1906, have made it necessary to extend the
distribution system over much larger areas than in 1902, some of which areas
are inadequately supplied, and the development of others being restricted by
lack of a supply.
(3) It is also essential to provide more numerous and larger service reser-
voirs than was then considered necessary.
(4) There has been a marked demand for extensions to and an increased
consumption of water in the high level districts.
These conditions and the changes in the plans and estimates which they
necessitate will be considered later.
SOURCES.
It becomes necessary at this point to recall and express an opinion upon
the general questions of the sources and their availability, the grants thereto
and the alleged probability of the contamination of the water originating thereon
and to be conducted to this City.
Tuolumne River above Lagrange Dam, at the edge of the foothills, drains
about 1,501 square miles of the west slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
See map accompanying this report entitled:
MAP OF THE REGION BETWEEN SAN FRANCISCO AND THE SUMMIT
OF THE SIERRAS, SHOWING THE FACTORS OF THE TUOLUMNE
SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY, JULY 24, 1908.
This drainage area lies nearly due east of San Francisco ; a due east and
west line from this City passes through the drainage basin of Merced River and
through the southeasterly part of that of Tuolumne River, leaving the main por-
tion thereof north of this line.
This drainage basis of Tuolumne River is naturally divided into six sub-
basins, two of which reach the summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains;
namely the main Tuloumne drainage basin and Cherry Creek; Eleanor Creek, a
tributary of the latter, reaches to within a few miles of the summit.
The other sub-basins drain regions which lie on the lower slopes of the
mountains and do not reach the summit and enter the main stream some twenty
miles below Hetch Hetchy Valley and below the diverting dam hereinafter
mentioned.
RESERVOIRS.
Quite a large number of glacial lakes and valleys lie in the drainage basin
of Tuolumne River; nearly all of which are suitable for the storage of waste
flood waters. The largest of these, Hetch Hetchy Valley, lies N. 85%° E. and
about 140 miles from San Francisco, on the main fork of the river and has
1404
AYAT.EK SUPPLY
about 4.V2 square miles of mountain slopes tributary thereto. The elevation of
this tributary area, except the valley itself and the bottoms of the converging
gorges, which are about 3,700 feet above tide, is between one and two and a
half miles above sea level, and its summit line or eastern border fronts for
fifty-three miles along the crest of the Sierras from Mt. Lyell northward. This
crest has a mean elevation of about 11,500 feet or over two miles above sea level.
At the lower end of Hetch Hetchy Valley is a granite gorge having a
mean width, at the surface of the low water, of about 65 feet, the sides of
which rise precipitously for 800 or more feet. The valley is about 5l/2
miles long and over one-half mile in width, its walls are s;> steep as to be prac-
tically impassable except at three points occupied by steep rough trails.
This reservoir will hold about the following volumes at successive heights:
Height Million Gals.
100 feet 16,213
150 feet 33,071
200 feet 48,600
250 feet 66,000
LAKE ELEANOR.
Lake Eleanor is situated near the lower end of the creek of the same name
and is about four miles northwest of Hetch Hetchy. The tributary drainage
area is about 84 square miles rising from the lake surface at 4,700 feet to over
two miles above sea level.
Two adjacent drainage basins can be made partially tributary to this reser-
voir, namely Cherry Creek with 103 square miles and Falls Creek with 37.5
square miles of similar territory.
The lake is about 400 acres in area and is fed by Kibby, Eleanor and Frog
Creeks. The lower end of the lake is bordered by a gravely flat resting on
granite bedrock, which about a mile and a quarter below the lake, closes into a
granite walled gorge and offers an excellent site and material for a dam. This
dam can be economically raised to a height of 200 feet.
At successive heights it will impound the following volumes of water:
Height Million Gals.
130 feet 6,282
150 feet 13,106
175 feet 25,000
200 feet 39,000
The two reservoirs when developed to the limits above indicated will fur-
nish over 290,000,000 gallons per day for 365 days; and considering the fact
that the storage waters will be drawn upon for only about 210 days each year,
this supply will furnish nearly 500,000,000 gallons per day. Combined with a
moderate development of existing nearby supplies these sources will meet any
demand which can now be reasonably foreseen or predicted.
RCX OFF AND THE PURITY AND SANITARY CONDITIONS OF THE
TRIBUTARY AREAS.
The areas tributary to these reservoirs are subjected to such severe winter
conditions that they are uninhabitable, they are moreover within the boundaries
of the Yosemite National Park; so that at no time in the future can conditions
arise tending to impair the the purity of water flowing therefrom, which cannot
he riiridly controlled.
WATER SUPPLY 1405
The run off from these areas has never been continuously gauged for a
season. But from a comparison of the gauging at La Grange Dam by the United
States Reclamation Service and studies since 1903 it is manifest that the run off
from the tributary are sufficient to more than fill Hetch Hetchy reservoir with a
dam at its maximum height during the dryest season which has occurred since
accurate gaugings at La Grange were established; and, that by diverting a
portion of the run off from Cherry Creek, Lake Eleanor reservoir would have
been similarly filled. The estimates of run off by Mr. Grunsky in 1901-3 in
the light of more recent data and studies are certainly ultraconservative both
as to precipitation and run off. (See pp. 222-223, Reports of Board of Public
Works, 1901-2 and 1902-3.)
Considering, therefore, that the run off is ample to fill the reservoirs during
dry years and that once put in use some water will naturally be held over,
discussions of the details of actual precipitation and run off must await the
result of future observations and measurements.
It will, therefore, be observed that the run off from the available areas is
more than sufficient to fill the reservoirs during the dryest year of which there
is any definite record, but that it is desirable to more accurately gauge the
rate of run off and the precipitation.
During about five months each year, between December and July, the
discharge of Tuolurnne River is more than sufficient to meet all industrial uses,
it will consequently not be necessary to draw on the stored waters except when
the natural discharge of the river falls below these demands, when the stored
water will be liberated from the reservoirs in such quantities as may be necessary.
GENERAL ROUTE OP CONDUITS TO SAN FRANCISCO.
The liberated water of Lake Eleanor or of Hetch Hetchy reservoir will
flow along natural channels or gorges to a point about two miles below the
junction of the streams; at this site it is proposed to build a diverting dam, situ-
ated about 128 miles nearly due east from San Francisco. This dam will turn and
control the flow through gates into a canal cut into the south side of the canon,
tunneled through its spurs and carried across its side gorges; drainage from the
<-afion walls above the canal will be intercepted by ditches and conducted under
or over this canal. The length of this canal will be about twenty -nine miles
and its capacity 250 second feet. It has been intimated that its flow will be
subject to contamination, but there is less danger of pollution in this canal
than in the natural gorges in which the water now flows without becoming in
any way contaminated, as this canal can be protected in case necessity shall
arise, as is usually done elsewhere and in the existing water works now supplying
the City and as is recommended for Los Angeles by L. P. Stearns and Jas. D.
Schuyler, Consulting Engineers. It is, however, possible that at some remote
time in the future the waters of Cherry Creek, being collected beyond the limits
of the Yosemite National Park, may become undesirable. In which event, Lake
Eleanor waters can be diverted on the left bank of Eleanor Creek, carried in a
separate canal along the canon wall and delivered without joining Cherry Creek
drainage, into Tuolumne River at a point above the mouth of Cherry Creek.
In this event the diverting dam can be placed just above the junction of Cherry
Creek with Tuolumne River, and Eleanor Creek waters used for power as they
fall into the headgates of the diverting canal.
At the lower end of the diverting canal there is to be constructed a power
station, designated Bear Gulch Power Station. At this station a fall of 766
feet is available: power to the extent of 12,000 horsepower can here be generated.
The water from the wheels of this power station will immediately pass into the
1406 WATER SUPPLY
headworks of another conduit consisting of pipes, tunnels and canals having tin
aggregate length of 14J56 miles to a second power station on Dry Creek, distant
102 miles due east of San Francisco. At this station 330 feet of fall is available
and 4,500 horsepower may be generated.
The water discharged from this power station is at an elevation of about
580 feet above tide and will here be delivered into tailrace- controlling reservoirs;
thence into two 48-inch wrought iron mains which will cross San Joaquin Valley
and deliver this water into Altamont pumping station. These pipes are 60.5
miles long and are to deliver 00,000,000 gallons per 24 hours.
ALTAMONT PUMPING STATION.
This station is to be equipped with receiving reservoir, electrically driven
pumps operated by power transmitted from Bear Gulch and Dry Creek Power
Stations, auxiliary steam plant for emergency use, and delivery pipes into a
pressure reservoir about three-quarters of a mile west of Altamont and at an
elevation of 752 feet above sea level. This station and equipment is planned
in masonry, steel and iron and will be kept in continual use.
For the Altamont reservoir the water is to flow by gravity through two
wrought iron pipes 48 inches in diameter and passing around the head of the
bay near Alviso to service reservoirs on either side of Mission road near Amazon
street, a distance of 70.1 miles. On this line a saving of some 5% miles may
be made by crossing at Dumbarton Point. This will also reduce the distance
on which the pipes lie on marsh lands, which experience demonstrates should
be avoided as far as possible.
It is observed that under the conditions above named no contamination of
the waters from this source can occur if the ordinary and reasonable precau-
tions be taken, whenever occasion therefor shall arise. Under existing conditions
ordinary fences will be ample.
(1) The waters are collected from uninhabitable areas within the limits
of Yosemite National Park and adjacent forest reserve; the surface of which is
composed of rocks and soils of least solubility. The water is therefore initially
pure and soft. These areas are inaccessible for the greater portion of the year
and are entirely within the Yosemite National Park and are not visited by the
great body of campers and tourists which visit Yosemite Valley and the Big
Tree groves. These great attractions lie in other drainage basins and attract
by far the greater portion of the travel.
(2) These waters are to be stored in granite-bound reservoirs of unsur-
passed conditions of isolation and natural cleanliness.
(3) They flow either along almost inaccessible mountain gorges or along
and through canals and conduits easily guarded and protected by known means
always resorted to whenever necessary. Tt is also manifest therefore that at no
time in the future can the sources of water supply herein considered become
contaminated nor pass beyond that reasonable control which will preserve their
purity from the snow tields of the Sierra to the faucets of the home.

For the reason before given, it is not considered necessary at this time for
the purposes of this report to make any material changes in the plans and
•estimates for those portions of the works which lie outside of the limits of the
City and which were worked out in 1901-2 by City Engineer Grunsky ; and, the
descriptions of which were in part published in the Reports of the Board of
Public Works for 1901-2 and 1902-3, page 248.
From this report the following recommendation of the Board of Public
Works is quoted and renewed:
"In 1900. at. the beginning of the studies directed by the Charter as to the
.acquisition of public necessities and utilities, the water supply very properly
occupied the first place, and received the most attention and study. The results
of these studies have not yet been laid before the citizens in full published form,
•so that they are in a large measure ignorant of the very carefully worked out
plans for meeting this most pressing necessity of the City. This vital matter
has in some way been allowed to fall in the rear, and does not appear at all in
the list of projects to be submitted to the voters. Water supply so far out-
ranks all other matters, both in importance and cost, that they could well be
allowed to rest until the water question has been settled."
On tjiis work, a large portion of two years was spent, costing about $40,000
and employing eight assistant engineers and draughtsmen with the necessary
complement of field assistants. Of this work the report of the Board of Public
Works says:
••The volume of work done by the Bureau of Engineering was large and
important. The most important was the completion of the report upon a
Municipal Water Supply, submitted in August, 1902, giving in full plans and
estimates of cost of supplying the City abundant and pure water, from a source
impossible of contamination. The cost of these works, if constructed as an
independent system, is estimated at $40,000,000, but if developed only to
reinforce existing supplies, will cost about $18,000,000."
Submitted with this report were thirty-six sheets of drawings giving in detail
n succinct outline of the Tuolumne project, the sources, reservoirs, alignments
and nature of conduits and works, and a careful and accurate estimate of the
1408
WATER SUPPLY
cost of the entire project, developed either as an independent source of supply
or as an auxiliary supply of the present source. It is to be regretted that these
plans and the accompanying report have never been published in full, as they
would then afford the public a far clearer knowledge of what has been done at
its expense and for its benefit than most of the citizens have any idea.
(For additional data and details of the above described works see pp. 200-
237, Reports of the Board of Public Works 1901-2, 1902-3, and the unpublished
plans therein referred to, reproduced copies of which are on file in the office of

In case the Spring Valley properties shall be acquired, it will be possible
to make use of all of the existing sources except Lake Merced, which should be
kept for use only in the remote event of some dire emergency.
The necessity of introducing and safeguarding a large supply from the
Tuolumne source, with double lines of pipes, etc., can then be avoided, for the
reinforcement of the local supplies will then be assured from the Tuolumne source.
Any deficiency from the Peninsula supply due to a dry season will under
these conditions be met with at least 20,000 million gallons on hand, which with
a daily consumption of 45,000,000 gallons will last for over 400 days, and before
the end of that time restorations to any extent can be made and delivery and
storage from the Tuolumne source restored.
By thus using this source as a reinforcing supply a reduction of $11,059,-
550.00 is possible, which increased by 10% amounts to about $12,165,500. This
saving is accomplished principally by limiting pipe lines, siphons and pressure
pipes to single instead of double lines, and by corresponding reductions in the
mechanical equipment at Dry Creek Power Station, Altamont and Belmont
Pumping Stations, and by the omission of Belmont reservoir.
All canals, tunnels, forebay, tailrace and pressure reservoirs and all other
items in the previously named estimate of $31,603,330 remain the same and are
designed for 60,00,000 gallons daily. This leaves the cost of introducing the
Tuolumne source simply as a reinforcing supply at about $19,437,800 and
ensures a supply of at least 45,000,000 gallons per day, and will require ex-
penditures to meet much needed extensions and betterments in the existing supply.
This estimate accepts the contingency that interruptions in the Sierra supply
of several months' duration might possibly occur from one of several causes, in
which event it will be noted that the Peninsula reservoirs would under any
circumstances and at any time of year have on storage from 15,000 to 20,000
million gallons; at a consumption of 45,000,000 gallons per day nearly a year's
supply would be on hand for use during any interruption of the supply from
the Tuolumne source.
1412
\VATKK SUPPLY
To this must be added the cost of acquiring the Spring Valley source and
of making certain increases in its supply and extensions and betterments to its
service and distributing system.
PURCH ASK AND INTRODUCTION OF AN AUXILIARY SUPPLY.
The estimates above outlined anticipate our necessities and does not meet
pressing and immediate requirements. Should the Spring Valley supply be
<icquired it will be necessary to increase the supply at once, and to add better-
ments and extensions before the Sierra source can be introduced. This state-
ment emphasized the gravity of the situation. This can be made at an expendi-
ture of not to exceed $1,500,000, and this office is prepared to present the steps
for this work when required. There, however, remains the necessity of securing
the reservoirs now available through the grant of May 11, 1908.
The acquisition of these highly valuable rights are contingent upon the
performance of certain stipulations which will cost in the next two years not
to exceed $750,000, and in the succeeding eight (8) years not to exceed one-
half this sum, upon which investment a reasonable interest may be derived. This
expenditure will give this City an asset of incalculable value in the shape of an
incomparable source of water supply which can be developed to such extents
and as such times as may become necessary. The ownership of these rights
will add many fold their cost to the properties and industries of this city and
stabilize the values of all classes of property.
In a separate report of date July 23, 1908. this office has reported upon
and recommended the steps necessary to accomplish this desirable result. Prompt
action on this report is urgently recommended.
ESTIMATES OF THE COST OF SERVICE RESERVOIRS WITHIN THK
CITY LIMITS AND OF AN ENTIRELY NEW DISTRIBUTING
SYSTEM.
It remains to present plans and estimates of the cost of an entirely new
system of service reservoirs and distributing mains for the City. These consti-
tute the works inside the City limits; and which, for the following reasons, an-
essentially modified from the plans and estimates submitted in 1902-3 :
(1) The provision of an auxiliary high pressure water supply for fire
protection which requires about 92 miles of large mains, two fire boats of tin-
highest efficiency and 100 additional fire cisterns, these materially reduce tin-
size and cost of the mains for domestic and industrial water supply within the
districts covered by this auxiliary supply.
(2) Developments and extensions of the built up areas demand the exten-
sion of mains into districts not covered in the plans of 1902-3.
(3) Experience has demonstrated that it is desirable to have larger and
more numerous service reservoirs than were formerly designed, thus inrreasinz
the volume of water available within the City limits.
(4) There has been an increase in the areas and demands for water in
the higher levels which have not been met by the corporation now supplyinz
the City, and which the City must meet if it takes up the work of municipal
water supply.
To make these changes the entire problem of service reservoirs and mains
lias been recast.
These estimates for this distributing and service system are based upon a
population of 735,000, a per capita daily consumption of 100 gallons and cover
l.~>.4.iO acres. This is 5,770 acres, or 60% greater area than was considered
WATER SUPPLY
1 41:;
in 1902-3, in the estimates of City Engineer Gruusky. This increase
in area is now considered necessary as it embraces areas the development of
which is retarded for lack of water and other areas the development of which
is estopped by an insufficiency. These additions will enhance property values
and gradually develop a corresponding increase in revenue. The aggregate
service reservoir capacity is raised to 366,800,000 gallons, which is a five days'
supply for a population of 735,000, at the above named rate of consumption.
The service reservoirs are so connected that any level may be re-enforced as
demand may be made. It will be observed that the storage in the City limits is
four (4) times the capacity of the existing service reservoirs.
The existing supply is admittedly just sufficient for the present population. .
The service is inadequate in some districts and entirely wanting in others. It,
therefore, barely meets the demands of about 350,000 inhabitants. The above
estimate of cost covers a far larger area, and will serve abundantly and satis-
factorily more than double the existing population and can be brought into
service 'as demands shall arise.
RECEIVING AND SERVICE RESERVOIRS.
"Water from the main supply will be received in two reservoirs, near the
intersection of Mission and Amazon streets, having a combined capacity <>t'
203,000,000 gallons, and estimated to cost $1,028,800.' From there it will be
supplied both by gravity and pumping station through 38 miles of main and
force pipes to 21 service reservoirs in the five different levels into which the
area to be supplied is divided.
These service reservoirs hold from 1.1 to 3.68 days' supply for the districts
which they serve: and, combined with the water stored in the main service
reservoirs, will hold about 5 days' supply for 735,000 inhabitants at a daily
per capital consumption of 100 gallons, and are estimated to cost $1,585,200.00.
The total cost of service reservoirs will thus be $2,614,000.00, which includes
cost of real estate where reservoirs are not located on City property.
PUMPING PLANT.
To serve the levels above the reach of the main service reservoirs two
pumping stations are required. These stations are estimated to have an aggre-
gate daily capacity of 41,000,000 gallons, with a reserve capacity of 50%.
Complete they are estimated to cost $606,500.00.
DISTRIBUTION MAINS AND LATERALS.

upon will call for 38 miles of mains and
force pipes and 605 miles of distribution

ing stations and distributing pipe system having a capacity of serving 15,450
acres and a population of 735,000 at a per capita daily consumption of 100
gallons. This system will more than double the capacity of the existing system
and will have five times the volume of water stored within the City limits.
Reviewing the various costs of the Tuolurnne project, it is observed that to
introduce this supply to the extent of 60,000,000 gallons daily; develop sufficient
power to do all the pumping necessary for this supply and have a considerable
reserve for other municipal uses, construct an entirely new system of receiving
and service reservoirs, pumping stations and distributing system, with a capacity
to abundantly serve double our present population will cost as follows:

The rapid development of certain districts since the fire, the natural growth
of other districts and the demand for covering districts not now supplied, or
inadequately supplied, have all combined to call for an estimate for a distributing
system larger than that estimated upon in 1902-3.
Not being able to predict the rate of iTicrease nor the exact loci of this
increase it has been considered best to make the distributing system of somewhat
greater capacity than the main supply. This latter can be raised when require-
ments demand.
The following comparisons will give an idea of the increases :
Areas, capacities and costs now Areas, capacities and costs estimated
considered necessary. upon in 1902-3.

Cost per acre, $788.00 $910.00, decrease \?.^r
Cost per mile of pipe, $18,950.00 $19,340.00
These decreases are principally due to the smaller pipe required in the
districts covered by the auxiliary water supply system for fire protection.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE TUOLUMNE SOURCE AS AX AUXILIARY
SUPPLY.
No adequate comparison can be made with the existing system either as
regards purity and abundance in every part of the City. It is, however, neces-
sary to consider the cost of acquiring the existing system if a reasonable price
can be agreed upon, as a sound business policy requires; then the cost of
extensions and betterments of this source as immediate requirements demand ;
and, to introduce a re-enforcing supply from the Tuoluinne source.
Accepting Captain 1 'ay son's offer with a reduction
of $2,000,000.00 for properties not required
by the City as a basis for Ibis estimate only,
we have cost of acquiring the Spring Valley
sources and supply $30,000,000.00

WATER SUPPLY 1415
The cost of operating either system is about the same, but the cost of
repairs and extensions will be much greater upon the acquisition of the older
works.
There will be a material saving to the City in the acquisition of the existing
system, as the high salaries, litigations, cost of experts, printing elaborate
reports, etc., etc., now incurred represents an invested capital of at least $1,500,-
000.00 at 5r, . The City pays all expenses incurred in these salaries and litiga-
tions by both the company and itself, a condition not generally known and
considered.
This report and the one preceding it are intended to place before this com-
munity the most important and vital matter which can confront the people of
any city. Upon a proper solution of this problem of a pure and adequate water
supply rests the health and well being of its homes, and the development, stability
and protection of its properties and industries. It is necessary to advance now
on clean-cut lines and in order to give the widest opportunity for a full con-
sideration, it is recommended that the full report of City Engineer Grunsky,
the present report and that of July 23, 1908, with such illustrative drawings
as are necessary to fully explain them be published and widely distributed to
the citizens.
The question^ of municipal ownership of this necessity cannot be allowed to
drift, nor be delayed without material loss to both the seller and the buyer. If
a reasonable price can be submitted such as the electors of this City will be
justified in approving, the development of the Tuoluinne source as an auxiliary
supply with control of its own power will follow in due time. But if no
satisfactory basis for the purchase of the existing supply can be submitted by
the Spring Valley Water Company, the development of the Tuolumne source
;md its independent power should be rushed to completion as herein indicated.
In either event the prompt acquisition of the Tuolumne rights and prop-
erties, now available, should be accomplished; for the reason, made doubly mani-
fest by the letter of the company of date September 11, 1908, indicating that a
supplementary Sierra source is a necessary adjunct to its resources to adequately
meet the needs of this community.
When such a source is introduced it should be from the purest and nearest
supply: and from the storage reservoirs to the faucet with all intermediate
rights of power under the complete ownership and control of the City.
In considering the acquisition $nd operation of this necessity, it must be
constantly kept in mind that the interest upon the capital invested comes from
the rates and not from the taxation of properties. (See Section 12, Article XII,
of the Charter.) Moreover that a sinking fund may be derived from either
source of revenue and frjm the relief of taxation now imposed for lighting
streets and public buildings. This averages more than $300,000.00 per year;
capitalized at 5%, this expenditure represents an investment of $6,000,000.00.
The present gross income from water is about $2,000,000.00.
Of this income the interest on $1,500,000.00 is spent by the City and
through the Spring Valley Company in salaries, legal expenses, expert services,
printing, etc., et. — expenses, which could be avoided by a removal of the prime
cause of litigation, namely, ownership by a corporation.
The yearly amounts paid for lighting streets and public buildings is over
$::oo.000.00, which sum is collected by taxation and would not be a burden to the
taxpayer if this lighting is made an incident to the public ownership and
operation of the Tuolumne source: or, if applied as a sinking fund, this saving
would, in 40 years, pay off a large fraction of the bonds issued for the
acquisition.

WATKI? SUPPLY
That- the water supply of any municipality is capable of yielding a large
revenue is abundantly proven by the tenacity with which corporations seek and
hold the control of this necessity ; and by the beneficial results which have come
to municipalities which have retained or regained such ownership. The benefits
of the highest order and the advance in values of all properties and industries
conferred by municipal ownership of this necessity warrants its prompt acqui-
sition by either purchase at reasonable rates, or by the construction of an
independent supply if this purchase is thwarted by exorbitant demands.
MARSDEX MANSOX,
City Engineer.
At this time an offer was made to sell to the City the property known as
the County Line Water System.
September 28, 1908, Ordinance Xo. 562 (Xew Series), reciting the filing of
plans and declaring that the cost was too great to be paid from the annual
revenue was finally passed.
October 5, 1909, Ordinance Xo. 572, calling an election to be held on
Xovember 12, 1908, to enable the voters to vote on three propositions was
finally passed. The three propositions submitted were as follows :
PROPOSITIOX ONE.
To authorize the City and County of San Francisco to acquire by purchase
or condemnation a public utility, viz: A water supply and works to be owned
and controlled by said City and County, to furnish to said City and County and
to the inhabitants thereof a sufficient supply of good, pure water for all pur-
poses, the source of such supply to be Lake Eleanor, the Hetch Hetchy Valley
and the waters of the Tuolumne River in Tuolumnc County. California.
PROPOSITIOX TWO.
To incur a bonded indebtedness by the City and County of San Francisco
to the amount of six hundred thousand (600,000) dollars for the purchase of
lands, rights and claims in and adjacent to the Hetch Hetchy Valley, adjacent
and near Lake Eleanor and within the watershed of the Tuolumne River, and in
constructing certain works, all of which are necessary in order to comply with
the conditions and stipulations agreed to by the City and County in the acquiring
of certain rights and privileges heretofore granted by the Interior Department
or hereafter to be granted by the Congress of the Unitd States.
Bonds issued for such purpose shall bear interest at the rate of P-'< per
a n n inn, payable semi-annually.
PROPOSITIOX THREE.
To acquire by purchase the property of the County Line Water Company
used in supplying a portion of the City and County with water, tit a cost not
to exceed forty thousand (40,000) dollars, the same to be paid out of the animal
revenue of the City and County.
October 19, 1908, Ordinance Xo. 588 (Xew Series), giving notice of the
election, was finally passed.
RESULT OF ELECTION.
The election was held on Xovember 12. 1908. and the result thereof was
• leclnred by Resolution Xo. 295}) (Xew Series) to have been as follows:
WATER SUPPLY . 1417
Proposition One — In favor, 34,950; against, 5,708.
Proposition Two — In favor, 34,572; against, 5,641.

In accordance with the result bonds to the amount of $600,000 were
authorized to be issued by Ordinance No. 643 (New Series), adopted .December
.21, 1908.
PROCEEDINGS BEFORE CONGRESS.
The election held on November 12, having resulted in favor of the accept-
ance of the grant made by the Secretary of the Interior, steps were taken to
more fully carry out the terms thereof by providing for the exchange of lands
to be authorized by an Act of Congress. To this end a Resolution had been
Introduced by Representative Kahn, which was as follows:
(H. J. Res. 184, Sixtieth. Congress, first session.)
Joint Resolution to allow the City and County of San Francisco to exchange laud
in the Yosemite National Park and adjacent National Forest for portions
of the Hetch Hetchy and Lake 'Eleanor reservoir sites in said Yosemite
National Park for the purposes of a municipal water supply.
Whereas, Under authority of the act of February 15, 1901 (Volume 31,
Statutes at Large, Page 790), the Secretary of the Interior has granted to the
City and County of San Francisco a permit for what are known as the Lake
Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy reservoir sites in the Yosomite National Park for the
purpose of a municipal water supply ; and
Whereas, By its duly authorized representatives said City and County has
agreed to enter into a stipulation protecting the public interest in the use and

County under said permit are concerned, especially stipulating that all land
the title to which is held by said City and County within said Park shall be
open to the free use and enjoyment of the public at all times under rules and
regulations of the Secretary of the Interior; and
Whereas, Said City and County has secured options upon various tracts
of land within said Park and the adjacent National Forest, much of which land is
especially valuable to the public for use in camping, but is now private land
inaccessible to the public except under permission of the owners thereof; and
Whereas, Said City and County is desirous of purchasing the land upon
which it holds options and exchanging it with the United States for the por-
tions of the Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor reservoir sites which will be
flooded by its reservoirs; Therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, That upon the full relinquishment to the
United States by the City and County of San Francisco of a title free from all
liens or incombrances of any nature whatsoever to any tract or tracts of land
within the Yosemite National Park or that part of the national forests adjacent
thereto which was eliminated from said Park by the Act of February 7, 1905
(Volume 33. Statutes at Large, Page 720), the Secretary of the Interior is
hereby empowered and directed to issue patent to said City and County of San
Francisco for all or such part of the land in said reservoir sites selected by
said City and County as may be approximately equal, by reference to the
smallest legal subdivisions, to the land relinquished: Provided, That until
reservoirs are actually established in said reservoir sites any land patented
hereunder to said City and County shall continue subject to the free use and
enjoyment of the people under the rules and regulations of the Secretary of
1418 WATER SUPPLY
the Interior as though it were still part of the National Park, and that any
patents issued to said City and County hereunder shall so specifically state.
The Committee on Public Lands of the House of Representatives held
gave consideration to the above Resolution and hearings were given on Decem-
ber 16, 1908, and several in the month of January, 1909. The Senate Com-
mittee also considered a similar Resolution at later dates. The reports of
these hearings were published as public documents and copies are on file in
the office of Clerk of the Supervisors.
The majority of the Public Lands Committee of the House reported favor-
ably on a substitute to the Kahn Resolution (prepared by Representative
Smith), which substitute was as follows:
H. J. RES. 223.

The City was represented at the hearings by Supervisor Giannini, City
Engineer Marsden Manson, City Attorney Percy V. Long, former Mayor James
D. Phelan, Warren Olney, J. D. Galloway and Walter McArthur.
The two members first named upon their return from Washington sub-
mitted to the Board of Supervisors the following report:
REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON WATER SUPPLY HEARING IN
CONGRESS.
The following reports of the Special Committee, consisting of Dr. A. H.
Giannini, Chairman of the Public Utilities Committee of the Board of Super-
visors, and Marsden Manson, City Engineer, on the proceedings before the
Committees on Public Lands of both Houses of Congress, in the matter of a
Sierra water supply for San Francisco and on permits granted the City and
County by the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, together with cor-
respondence bearing on said permits have been filed in the Clerk's office of the
Board of Supervisors. The following report summarizes the proceedings before
the Congressional Committees :
San Francisco, April 5, 1909.
To the Honorable,
the Board of Supervisors,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — In accordance with Resolution No. 2976 (New Series), ap-
proved December 1, 1908, the undersigned proceeded to Washington, arriving
on December 12, 1908. The duty assigned to us was to secure the passage, if
possible, of the Joint Resolution of the two Houses of Congress, authorizing the
Secretary of the Interior to execute certain exchanges of lands between the
United States Government and the City and County of San Francisco, which
lands are situated within the limits of the Yosemite National Park, and the
"Segregated Area" adjacent, and were- to be exchanged in accordance with
stipulation confirmed by the action of your Honorable Board in May, and June,
1908, and in accordance with the stipulations agreed upon with the Honorable,
the Secretary of the Interior on May 11, 1908.
We immediately put ourselves in communication with the Hon. Geo. C.
Perkins and Hon. Frank B. Flint, Senators of California, and with the Hon.
Julius Kahn and Hon. E. A. Hayes, Representatives in Congress from this City.
We were assured by these gentlemen that there would be no difficulty in securing
the passage of a Joint Resolution effecting this exchange by the approaching
holidays.
On December 16, 1908, the Committee on Public Lands of the House of
Representatives met in the House office building in Washington, the Hon. Frank
W. Mondell, Chairman, presiding ; special order for the morning being House
Joint Resolution 184, introduced by Mr. Kahn, on May 16, 1908, entitled, "To
allow the City and County of San Francisco to exchange lands in the Yosemite
National Park and adjacent National Forest, for portions of the Hetch Hetchy
and Lake Eleanor reservoir sites in said Yosemite National 'Park for the pur-
poses of a municipal water supply." Representative Needham appeared and
insisted that Secretary Garfi eld's grant be not modified.
Official copies of this hearing are submitted herewith. It will be noted
that at this meeting the Hon. James R. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior, was
present, and presented the results of his examination into the case in a very
comprehensive statement. Quite a large number of communications, adverse to
the granting of the privilege of exchange, were presented, and are found printed
WATKK
in the hearing herewith submitted. These are from Robert U. Johnson, of the
Century Magazine; memorandum from John Muir, president of the Sierra Club;
and from Horace McFarland, president of the American Civic Association;
Xorman J. Ilapgood, editor of Collier's Weekly; William E. Colby, secretary of
the Sierra Club; a full brief by R. U. Johnson, quotations from Muir's article
in the Century, from Allen Chamberlain of the Appalachian Mountain Club,
Boston; a joint communication from John Muir, C. T. Parson, J. N. Le Conte
and William F. Bade, directors of the Sierra Club, and from T. F. McGwerb,
Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Tuolumne County.
At the close of that meeting, a sub-committee of five was appointed, oi
which Mr. Smith of California was the chairman. The duties of this commit tee
was to compare the various forms and amendments submitted, and to draft a
Resolution putting the exchange into effect. One or the other of us kept in
contact with this Committee daily, except during the three days' holiday at
Christmas. On January 9th the full Committee met, Chairman Mondell presid-
ing. It was found that some subtle influence was at work, opposing these
grants, and in the latter part of December, Supervisor Giannini found it advis-
able to go to New York. He there ascertained that the president and the attor-
ney of the Spring Valley Water Company were actively engaged in opposing
San Francisco's petition.
At the meeting of January 9th, Mr. Englebright made strong objection to
the passage of the Resolution unless a point of diversion should be fixed. Mr.
Whitman of Boston, Massachusetts, representing the Appalachian Mountain
Club, and the Sierra Club of San Francisco, presented an argument against
granting any privileges whatever to the City for the storage of water. There
were also filed a large number of protests against the granting of the exchange.
Secretary Garfield's ruling having been attacked in these proceedings, he
again appeared and presented in full the law governing the case, the policy of
the Department, and confirmed in strong terms his previous actions. The Hon.
(icorge W. Woodruff, Assistant Attorney-General for the Interior Department.
also set forth the la\v and practice of the Department, and materially strength-
ened the position of the Department in its rulings. Both Mr. Kahn and Mr.
Hayes were present during this meeting and presented various phases of the
case. Upon the conclusion of these hearings, the Committee went into executive
session with the understanding that at the next meeting final form of the
Resolution would be presented, and adjourned to meet on Tuesday, January 12th,
in executive session. Anticipating that this program would be carried out. we
did not expect to attend this meeting, but in passing through the hall, on the
above date, we noticed that a meeting was being held and that the attorney
for the Spring Valley WTater Company had appeared without announcement or
notice, to us or to any of San Francisco's representatives, and was addressing
th/e Committee, presenting certain legal objections, and opposing the passage of
the Resolution of Exchange on legal and technical grounds. A full statement
is appended in the proceedings herewith submitted, and a large number of tele-
grams and letters were submitted, which are printed in the record.
Such a number of technical points were raised by the attorney for the
Spring Valley Water Company that we deemed it best to advise that His Honor
the Mayor and Special Attorney Judiro Curtis II. Lindley and other of the City
officials be sent on to meet those points. This necessitated an adjournment until
Monday, January L'Oth. at which date the hearing was resumed. The additional
members sent by the City were the lion. Warren Olney, ex-Mayor of Oakland;
Hon. James D. Phelan. ex-Mayor of San Francisco: Percy V. Long, City and
County Attorney: Mr. Walter McArtlmr. editor of Seamen's Journal, and Mr.
John 1>. Galloway, member American Society of Civil Engineers. These gentle
men all presented their views as recorded in the printed ropy of the lien rings
en tn;,t dale. Additional letters and telegrams were sent in and are printed in
WATER SUPPLY 1421
full in the record. The hearings not being completed on that clay, the Com-
mittee adjourned until Tuesday, the 21st, when the discussion was continued
and finally closed.
On February 8, 1909, the report of the House Committee on Public Lands
was submitted to the Committee of the Whole and ordered printed. Concurring
in this report were eight members of the Committee, led by Mr. Smith of Cali-
fornia, dissenting from this report was a minority report signed by Congress-
men Mondell (Chairman), Ferris, Craig, Reynolds and Hamilton, a second-
minority report signed by Congressmen Volstead and Gronna, a third minority
report of some length by Congressman Parsons. Copies of the majority and
minorities' reports are submitted herewith.
The proceedings of the Committee on Public Lands of the Senate were as*
follows : •
On February 3rd, this Committee met: Senator Nelson, Chairman. It was-
decided that as the proceedings before the House Committee had been very fullr
and were available in printed form, that it would not be necessary to steno-
graphieally report the Senate Committee proceedings. A general presentation
of the City's case, coinciding practically and somewhat shorter than the previ-
ous presentation to the House Committee, was then made. The Committee hav-
ing other important matters to take up, it was adjourned to February 10th, at
which date the second meeting was held; full records being kept, and a printed
copy of the proceedings is submitted herewith. It will be noted that quite a
number of prominent Eastern gentlemen, some of whom were actually acquainted
with the subject matter, addressed this meeting, as well as a representative of
the Chicago Geographical Society; the Saturday Walking Club, the Playground
Association of Chicago, and who in a larger sense claimed to represent the
future generations to whom Hetch Hetchy Valley is represented to have been
deeded in perpetuity by Congress, titles to which ownership were, however, not
presented further than by this broad statement. The time of the Committee
was fully taken up by these objectors. The Committee adjourned to meet on
February 12th, at 10 a. m.
At this meeting the attorney for the Spring Valley Water Company made a
second long argument, fully presented in the printed record submitted; also
the Chief Engineer of the Spring Valley Water Company. In this meeting
quite an interest in the sale of the Spring Valley properties to the City was
developed, and this question was injected into the real proposition under dis-
cussion in such form as to make it apparent that the Committee -would not
decide in favor of the Resolution authorizing an exchange of lands. A large
number of opposing opinions were expressed and discussed, and the adverse
purposes of the majority of the Senate Committee having t>een made manifest
to us, we then requested Senator Flint to. withdrawn further action.
Before leaving Washington, we addressed to Senators Perkins and Flint
and to Congressmen Kahn and Hayes a joint lettei', requesting these gentlemen
to resubmit the propositions involved in this exchange of lands to the Sixty-
first Congress at its first meeting.
As this exchange is not absolutely essential to the carrying out of the
work before you, it may be left to our Senators and Representatives in the
Sixty «first Congress. We are, however, of the opinion that it is desirable to
carry out the exchange, as it is in harmony with a formal agreement entered
into with the proper officials of our Government and for the purposes of per-
fecting an agreement between this City and the Government. The denial of
this exchange has been used for the purpose of making it appear that it entirely
thwarts the great interests of this City in the acquisition of a water supply,
and this has been so persistently put forward that it is solemnly believed by
many. The policy of this City, however, should be to pursue persistently and
1422
WATER SUPPLY
consistently the perfecting of the rights now in her ownership. No other propo-
sition is of such vital moment and none other of whatever nature should be
permitted to interpose a diverting opinion or line of action.
The vigor and character of the opposition are conclusive evidence of the
high value and importance of the rights which have been secured by the City,
for it cannot be conceived that so much effort and expense would be put forth
to prevent the acquisition of these rights were they as valueless as is claimed
by the opponents of the project.
Respectfully submitted,
A. H. GIANNINI,
Chairman Committee of Public Utilities.

City Engineer
A list of permits received for San Francisco in connection with the Hetch
Hetchy water project, together with a schedule and recommendations made by
the Special Committee are contained in the following report :
San Francisco, April 5, 1909.
To the Honorable,
the Board of- Supervisors,
City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — We have fully advised you and submitted, from time to time,
copies of the proceedings held by the Committees of the two Houses of Con-
gress in the matter of the granting of the privileges to exchange lands in
Hetch Hetchy Valley with the United States Government in accordance with
stipulations entered into with the Government through the Hon. James R. Gar-
field, Secretary of the Interior, on May 11, 1908, and subsequently confirmed by
your Honorable Board.
In the progress of these proceedings it became apparent in February, that
in the face of opposing interests, the Sixtieth Congress would not grant these
privileges of exchange. It was, therefore, deemed advisable, in order not to
delay the progress of the work and unknown to the opposition to secure all
necessary permits which were essential to the complete carrying out of the
Hetch Hetchy project. We therefore secured, through the co-operation of the
Departments of the Interior and of Agriculture the following permits:
First. To strip and explore the ' foundations of the Lake Eleanor Dam to
determine the detailed character and shape of the foundation ; to make such
iT.-mgings as were necessary, to erect such structures as were required, and to do
all work to effectuate the conditions of the grant of May 11, 1908.
Second. Rights of way for a diversion canal from Cherry Creek into
Eleanor Lake Reservoir crossing the Park line in the saddle adjacent to and
northwest of the lower end of this lake.
Third. For a canal commencing at the base of the dam and to extend
along the left bank of Eleanor Creek across the Park line and into the ''Segre-
gated Area" to a power site in Tuolumne Canyon, and connected with a canal
on the left bank of this canyon.
Fourth,
canyon.
For a power site in the "Segregated Area'1 situated in said
WATER SUPPLY 1423
Fifth. For a canal extending from the Park line along the left bank of
the Tuolumne River through the "Segregated Area'' and the Stanislaus Forest
Reserve to its westerly boundary.
Sixth. For a power site near the mouth of the South Fork.
Certified copies of these permits are submitted herewith. It will be noted
that with the permits granted on May 11, 1908, these constitute all that will
be necessary to be secured for the carrying out of the entire project of develop-
ing the Hetch Hetchy and Eleanor Lake water supply, and must be followed by
the submission of maps showing the final location of these canals and sites,
whereupon these rights and permits under the law of February, 1905, become
irrevocable during the period of their beneficial use.
The duties imposed upon us by your Honorable Board were found to be
onerous and difficult, and although the prime object of our work, namely, the
exchange of lands in accordance with Stipulation 1 of the grant of May 11,
1908, was delayed until some future Congress, the granting of the permits
herewith -submitted puts the City in the possession of all rights necessary for
the development of this water supply, and places before your Honorable Board
and the citizens of this City, the responsibility of perfecting and developing
the most magnificent water supply Avithin reach of -any American city.
We regret that an attempt should have been made to thwart the true
interests of the City by a company whose properties now in use we believe
the officials and citizens -of this municipality stand ready to purchase whenever
a fair value can be fixed and a legal offer made. This company called to its
aid the services of attorneys and also the sympathy and support of misguided
sentimentalists and enthusiasts who fail to realize the fact that San Francisco
owns in fee simple a far greater portion of the floor of the Hetch Hetchy Valley
than remains under the control of the Government, and that it owns also under
the laws of Congress the right to flood this remaining land. Their efforts were
of considerable effect in aiding the company now supplying this City with water.
Many of their statements, as will be seen by reading them, were made in
ignorance, and we hope that a broader knowledge of the facts and better judg-
ment will warrant them in a change of view.
There are, however, now in the possession of this City all necessary rights
to develop the Hetch Hetchy water supply. These rights are of such value that
prompt and efficient work should be continued until the City shall enjoy the
inestimable advantages to its homes and industries which the introduction of
this water supply will assure.
It must be recognized that the efforts of the Spring Valley Water Company
and its co-workers were to thwart the City in the acquisition of this supply and
that these efforts will in all probability be continued. It must be also recog-
nized that so long as this opposition on its part shall be continued no satisfactory
basis of purchase of its works can be arranged. As outlined and advised in
the report of the City Engineer of September 14, 1908, and as constantly advised
by that office since 1901:
"The question of municipal ownership of this necessity cannot be allowed
to drift nor be delayed without material loss to both the seller and the buyer.
If a reasonable price can be submitted such as the electors of this City will be
justified in approving, the development of the Tuolumne source as an auxiliary
supply with control of its own power will follow in due time. But if no satis-
factory basis for the purchase of the existing supply can be submitted by the
Spring Valley Water Company, the development of the Tuolumne source and its
independent power should be pushed to completion as herein indicated."
This City must perfect the acquisition of the Hetch Hetchy source by its
introduction either as a reinforcing or as an independent supply. If steps
1424
WATER SUPPLY
Towards either of these ends be opposed by the Spring Valley Water Company,
it will be difficult for that company to finance any project it may have to bring
its supplies up to the growing demands of this City. If this conflict shall be
pursued for any considerable length of time, it is manifest that the company
will be in a position to allege that its inability to meet the growing demands
is due to the efforts of the City to introduce a "rival" supply to "bankrupt''
the company. Now, to make any just basis for further inisstatements or dis-
agreements impossible, we respectfully recommend that the purpose of the
officials of this City to purchase the Spring Valley plant be reiterated and that
the attention of every stockholder of that company whose address can be
obtained be specifically called to the purposes of the City and its intention to
purchase the Spring Valley plant as soon as a "square offer" can be had for
the sale of its properties. Moreover, that it is the purpose of this City to
perfect for itself the ownership of the Hetch Hetchy source as a reinforcing
supply if possible, or as an independent supply if forced to do so. That it
rests with the stockholders and officials of the Spring Valley Water Company
to make what Senator Nelson declares has never been made, namely, "a square
offer. ' '
We therefore submit the following schedule :
(1) (a) Perfect the final payments upon all purchases of lands in the floor
of the Hetc-h Hetchy Reservoir and areas for exchange.
(b) Acquire by purchase, under negotiations now in progress or other-
wise, all privately held lands in Eleanor Lake Reservoir.
(c) Perfect final location of the route from the west boundary of Stanislaus
Forest Reserve to the City and acquire title to rights of way for all structures.
(d) In accordance with the recommendations of Consulting Engineers Fitz-
gerald and Marx, construct gauging stations on Eleanor Creek and Tuolumne
River, and occupy them for continuous gauging. This work can probably be
done in conjunction with the United States Reclamation Service.
(2) (a) Clear the foundation of Eleanor Lake Dam and perfect final
plans for this structure so that construction may proceed in the spring of 1910.
(b) Perfect final location of all canals and power sites under permits
now granted.
(c) Perfect final plans for the construction of Cherry Creek diversion
canal, for Eleanor Lake main canal and for Tuolumne power station, that these
works may be proceeded with so as to use this power for operating the com-
pressor, drilling and excavating plans to be used in all construction work
ui)on dams, canals, tunnels, etc. The work under (2) embraces the necessary
location and construction of the telephone lines, trails and roads essential for
the direction and progress of tho work.
(3) As soon as the plant and force used in clearing the site of Eleanor
Lake Dam can be transferred, similar work to be done at the Hetch Hetchy site.
The carrying out of this schedule is essential to the perfection of rights of
incalculable value to this City. The manifest impossibility of properly perfecting
these rights under a shifting control makes it obligatory upon the present ad-
ministration to demark and put in force a control which can withstand the
powerful and subtle interests which have opposed and which will continue to
oppose the acquisition of these rights by the City. It has only been by self-
sacrifice and disinterested work that they have been carried thus far; and they
can and will be wrecked unless corresponding work shall be continued, and
unless it be supported by the confidence of the public in those few who direct it.
The vote of November 12, 1908, was distinctly a vote of confidence in both the
WATER SUPPLY 1425
source of supply and in the purposes and intents of those directing its adminis-
tration. This campaign cannot be successfully planned and carried out by a
dozen different heads, and according to the suggestions of everyone who has,
or supposes he has, ideas on the subject.
The problems of execution now before this community are primarily those
of law and engineering. You have, with the approval of the City Attorney,
selected as special counsel in these matters a man of the highest integrity and
knowledge. The work so far accomplished has been done under the Charter,
and through and by the officers therein provided. We therefore recommend
that your Honorable Board adopt and put into effect the above schedule. In
other words, that a definite project be adopted and put into effective force
along the lines prescribed in the Charter, and that the whole weight of the
administration be given such effective force that this project and schedule may
be carried beyond any point at which it can be baulked or turned aside. Every
petty or selfish interest must be disregarded and this work must go ahead on an
assured basis proportionate to the magnitude of its bearing upon the future
interests of this community.

Sir: — Acknowledging receipt of your letter of recent date, enclosing, in
behalf of the Board of Supervisors of the City of San Francisco, tentative map
and field notes of the preliminary surveys of rights of way over lands in the
Yosemite National Park, and requesting that the local land offices be directed
to accept the same until final and complete surveys have been made and filed
as required by existing regulations, I transmit herewith, for your information,
a copy of a letter this day addressed to the General Land Office complying with
your request in the premises.
Very respectfully,

Department of the Interior,
Washington, February 25, 1909.
The Commissioner of the General Land Office.
Sir: — I transmit herewith a letter in duplicate, from Mr. Marsden Manson,
City Engineer of San Francisco, representing the Board of Supervisors of San
Francisco, and accompanying tentative map and field notes of a preliminary
survey of the rights of way over lands in the Yosemite National Park, coupled
with a request that the local land offices be instructed to receive and file the
same until final surveys can be made and filed, as required by existing regula-
tions.
In view of the fact that the rights of way known as the Lake Eleanor Main
Canal and the Cherry Creek Diversion Canal, described in the accompanying
papers, are for the purpose of effectuating in part the stipulation on the part
of the City of San Francisco under the privilege granted it by Department
letter of May 11, 1908, for reservoir sites at Lake Eleanor and in the Hetch
Hetchy Valley in the Yosemite National Park, I see no reason why the request
in the premises should not receive favorable consideration, and it is accordingly
hereby approved. Full compliance with the requirements of the regulations
governing rights of way, approved July 8, 1901, will not be insisted upon at
this time, and the City will be granted the privilege of making and completing
its surveys, as required by such regulations, at a later date. You will accord-
ing so instruct the local land officers, forwarding for rilintr in their office one

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE IS INSTRUCTED THAT COMPENSATION
IS NOT TO BE EXACTED FROM CITY FOR RIGHTS OF WAY OVER
PARK LANDS.
Department of the Interior,
Washington, February 26, 1908.
The Honorable Secretary of Agriculture.
Sir: — Your letter of the 25th instant has been received, inclosing a map
filed by the City of San Francisco, through Mr. Marsden Manson, City Engineer,
as the City's application, under the Act of February 15, 1901 (30 Stat. 790),
for a permit for municipal water and power project within the Stanislaus
National Forest, and situated partly upon lands segregated from the Yosemite
National Park and made a part of said National Forest, by the Act of February
7, 1905. (33 Stats. 702.)
You inclose a draft of a permit which the Forest Service contemplates
issuing to the City for this project, and inquire whether it is consistent with
the views of this Department regarding the matter of charges. You also add
that it is not the present intention of the Forest Service to require the City
to pay any charge for the use of National Forest lands not formerly within
the National Park.
In response thereto, I have to state that, in view of the fact that the water
to be furnished the City of San Francisco from Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy
Valley, in the Yosemite National Park, is to be used for domestic purposes, it is-
not the purpose of the Department to exact any compensation for the rights of
way desired by the City over Park lands, and which are to be used in effectuat-
ing its agreement with the Interior Department.
It will be required, however, to make payment for such timber as may be
cut or destroyed in the construction of such rights of way. I have therefore to-
suggest that the permit be so modified as to provide for the payment to the
Forest Service, in such manner and at such rates as may be fixed by the
Forest Service, for all timber cut and destroyed on the National Forest rands
which were not excluded from the Yosemite National Park; the Secretary of
the Interior will fix the rate to be paid for such timber from the right of way
through the segregated territory, and it is requested that the Forest Service
\vill advise this Department as to the quantity of timber cut, used or destroyed
in the segregated territory, together with the rates which, in its judgment, should
be paid therefor by the City.
In view of the fact that the form of permit submitted provides that in
case any electric power generated by the plants authorized by this permit is
sold commercially, such reasonable charges therefor as may be from time to
time fixed by the duly authorized representatives of the United States shall be
paid by the permittee, at such time and in such manner as such officers may
prescribe, the Department will exact the same payments for a proportionate
share of the power generated through the use of the right of way over the lands.

EXTRACT FROM JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO OCEAN
SHORE RAILWAY FRANCHISE, SEPTEMBER 28, 1908.
The following communications were received and read, the same having
been heretofore considered by the Street Committee:
PETITION TO AMEND FRANCHISE.
San Francisco, August 20, 1908.
To the Honorable,
th<> Board of Supervisors,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen : — The undersigned, Ocean Shore Railway Company, respetfully
requests that your Honorable Board grant it permission, in connection with the
franchise heretofore granted by your Honorable Board for the construction of
a railroad upon Twelfth street, in the City and County of San Francisco, and
State of California, to construct, upon said Twelfth street, a viaduct, commencing
at a point 159 feet southeasterly from the southeasterly line of Folsom street,
at grade: thence southeasterly on said Twelfth street, raising the grade of said
structure as the same is constructed southeasterly on said Twelfth street to
where the same intersects and crosses Harrison street, crossing said Harrison
street with a clear headroom of 17^ feet. The nature of said structure, if per-
mitted to be constructed, will be a re-enforced concrete viaduct, six (6) feet in
width, the center line of which will be located along the center line of Twelfth
street, commencing at a point 159 feet southeasterly from the southeasterly line
of Folsom street and the northwesterly line of Harrison street; thence continuing
across Harrison street with a Concrete arch. Said structure will occupy only
the minimum width required for the operation of a single-track railroad; and
will leave 18 feet on either side thereof for street purposes. The nature and
character of the construction will not be unsightly, and will give free access
thereunder from side to side for pedestrian traffic.
The object of this request is to eliminate the present grade crossing at
Harrison street and thence southeasterly, for the reason that, under certain weather
conditions, it is impossible to hold a train on the present steep descending grade
from Division to Harrison street, and the construction of the proposed viaduct
Avill very greatly contribute to the safety of the public where said railroad inter-
sects said Harrison street.
The matter has heretofore been submitted by our Engineering Department
to the Engineering Department of your City, who, in turn, has made a recom-

REPORT OF ENGINEER ON PROPOSED GRADE CHANGES.
San Francisco, September 24, 1908.
Honorable Street Committee,
of the Board of Supervisors,
San Francisco, Calif ornhi.
Gentlemen: — In view of the unanimous opposition of the property owners
along: Twelfth street to our application for a permit to elevate our track from
a point about one hundred and fifty feet southerly from Folsom street to and
across Harrison street, filed with your Committee on the 10th instant; and in
compliance with your request of the 17th instant, I am handing you herewith a
report from our Chief Engineer, Mr. John B. Rogers, which is self explanatory.
It is most essential that we take some action to eliminate the point of danger
at our Harrison street crossing, and while we would much prefer to proceed on
the lines set forth in our original application, we wish to show due respect to
the wishes of the protestants, and will therefore be willing to accept the alterna-
tive proposition of constructing our line on the revised grade line of Florida
street, as suggested in Mr. Rogers' report, if you will re-refer the matter to the
Board of Public Works for final action and recommendation, and will so order.
Very respectfully,
J. DOWNEY HARVEY,
President.
REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER OF COMPANY.
San Francisco, September 24, 1908.
J. Downey Harvey, Esq.,
President Ocean Short- Railway Company,
52 Eleventh Street, San Francisco, California.
Dear Sir: — In the matter of our application for permission to construct a
temporary single track viaduct, along the center line of Twelfth street, from a
point about 150 feet southerly from Folsom street, to and across Harrison street,
which matter is now before the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors,
having been approved and recommended by the Board of Public Works :
It is our purpose to eliminate, if possible, an element of great danger in
the operation of our road across Harrison street. This crossing lies at the foot
of a grade so steep that it is impossible to control the movement of heavy trains
thereon, under certain weather conditions when the rails are slippery. To
remedy this it will be necessary, either :
(1) To elevate our track at the crossing of Harrison street in manner
substantially as .shown by the plan submitted to the Street Committee, or;
(2) By securing official grade changes on Florida street, northerly from
Sixteenth street, and by laying our track to conform to the revised grade line
of Florida street, eliminate the sieri> i;rii<l<> which now constitutes the element
of danger.
OCEAN SHORE RAILROAD CO. ?S FRANCHISE 1435
The proposition of elevating our track along Twelfth street has met with
such unanimous opposition from the adjacent property owners that I would
recommend withdrawing the application, under an understanding, however, that
we will accept an alternative or compromise proposition, substantially as follows:
"The Ocean Shore Railway Company will lay and operate its track or tracks
along that portion of Florida street occupied under the provisions of its. present
franchise, so that the tops of rails shall conform to the official grade elevations,
to be adopted and established as the official grades for said portion of Florida
street as follows :
"On Florida street at the crossing of Mariposa street, to remain at the
present official grade.
"On Florida street at the crossing of Seventeenth street, to remain at the
present official grade.
"On Florida street at the crossing of Sixteenth, to remain at the present
official grade.
"On Florida street at the southerly line of Fifteenth street, to be raised
7.50 feet, and established at 27.50 feet.
"On Florida street at the northerly line of Fifteenth street, to be raised
5.52 feet and established at 25.52 feet.
"On Florida sti-eet at the southerly line of Alameda street, to be raised
1.5'J feet and established at 13.52 feet.
"On Florida street at the northerly line of Alameda street, to be lowered
0.46 feet and established at 11.54 feet.
"On Florida street, 51.33 feet northerly from the northerly line of Alameda
street, to be established at 10 feet.
On Florida street, 360 feet northerly from the northerly line of Alameda
street, to be raised 4 feet, and established at 10 feet."
The alternative proposition, as above outlined, is in no way as desirable as
the plan first suggested, as it will necessarily introduce a grade crossing with
the Peninsula Line tracks of the Southern Pacific Company, which under the
first proposition could be avoided. This crossing, at the time the franchise was
granted, would have been entirely out of the question, but considering the fact
that since the opening of the Bay Shore cut-off by the Southern Pacific Com-
pany, approximately 90% of the volume of freight and passenger traffic, formerly
routed over the Peninsula Line tracks, has been withdrawn and is now being
routed via the Bay Shore Cut-off, this crossing can be operated advantageously,
and with due regard to the public safety by installing proper interlocking safety
appliances, and bringing the trains, cars, motors, etc., of both companies to a
full stop before proceeding over and across the same.
This alternate plan will avoid .the objections raised by the property owners
along Twelfth street to our first proposition of elevating our tracks along that
thoroughfare, and will put our approach to £tarrison street on approximately a
level grade, where our trains can be kept under perfect control. It would also
put our crossing of the Peninsula Line track on a level grade, and make the
ascent from a point about 125 feet southerly therefrom to Sixteenth street on a
3% grade.
I am handing you herewith map and profile showing the proposed grade
changes necessary to carry out the change recommended in this report.
I have conferred with the President of the Board of Public Works and the
City Engineer in this matter, and the recommendation submitted herewith meet
with 'the approval of these officials.
Very respectfully,
JNO. B. ROGERS,
Chief Engineer.

CITY ENGINEER RECOMMENDS CHANGE OF GRADE.
Office of Board of Public Works,
Bureau of Engineering,
San Francisco, September 24, 1908.
To the Honorable.
Ihe Board of Public Horks,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen : — Herewith I submit a schedule for a change of grade on Florida
street from Sixteenth street to a line parallel with and 360 feet northerly from
Alameda street.
This change is requested by the Ocean Shore Railway Company to eliminate
the present element of danger in operating their road on the heavy grade south-
erly from Harrison street.
I see no reason why the request should not be granted, but with the condi-
tion that the Ocean Shore Railway Company stipulates and agrees to bear all
•direct and consequential damages incident to the change.
As the affected streets are ungraded, there is no need, under the above con-
ditions, of a district being formed for the assessment of damages and benefits.
Therefore, I recommend that the grade of Florida street, between Sixteenth
street and a line parallel with and 360 feet northerly from the northerly line of
Alameda street, and on Fifteenth and Alameda streets, between Bryant and
Alabama streets, be changed and established at points and at heights above
€ity Base as described in the accompanying schedule.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON AMENDING FRANCHISE.
To the Honorable,
the Board of Supervisors,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — Your Street Committee to whom was referred the petition of
the Ocean Shore Railway Company for permission to construct a viaduct in the
line of Twelfth street over Harrison street, crossing the same with a clear head-
way of 17 feet 6 inches and reaching the present grade of Twelfth street at ;i
point 125 feet southerly from the southerly line of Folsom street, begs leave to
report thereon as follows:
That said petition was duly considered by your Committee and inasmuch
as objections were made by the owners of property along Twelfth street against
any extension to the viaduct now constructed over the crossing of the Southern
Pacific tracks at Florida and Division streets, your Committee and the Board
of Public Works suggested to the Ocean Shore Railway Company that said
application be withdrawn and another filed in lieu thereof, providing for crossing
at grade, which would not be so objectionable to owners of property along the
route.
Subsequently, to wit: On September 24, 1908, the Ocean Shore Railway
Company filed an amended petition for permission to cross the tracts of the
Southern Pacific Company at Florida and Division streets at grade, and also
for a modification of the existing grades on Florida from Sixteenth street north-
erly so :is to permit of uniform grade being established between Sixteenth street
and a point fifty feet northerly from Alameda street.
No objections have been tiled or made to the granting m' amen, led petition
»>y property owners, and in view of the fact that the element of danger m»w
< )< • K A X SI -IOK K K A'l LROAD CO. • S FRANCHISE 1437
existing by reason of the operation of cars down the steep descent over the
present viaduct into Twelfth street will be eliminated, your Committee recom-
mends the granting of the petition in its present form and herewith submits to
your Honorable Board a Bill amendatory of the original Ordinance.
The proposed Bill amends the original grant in the following particulars:
With reference to the crossing over the Southern Pacific tracks at Division
and Florida streets, by striking out the words "By an overhead crossing with a
-clear head room of at least twenty-four feet'1 and by inserting in lieu thereof
the words "At grade," and also with reference to grade crossings by striking
out the words "Except Division Street Crossing," and by striking out the
words "Division street crossing on Florida street shall be by an overhead cross-
ing having a clear head room of not less than fourteen feet."
In 'accordance with advice of the City Engineer filed September 25, 1908,
your Committee recommends that in the event of the Board of Public Works
recommending to the Supervisors that the grades be changed along the line of
Florida street in the manner suggested by the Ocean Shore Railway Com-
pany, and if said recommendation is approved and granted by the Board of
Supervisors, that the Ocean Shore Railway Company shall stipulate and agree
to bear all direct and consequential damages incidental to the grade change.

OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COMPANY FILES PETITION FOR RIGHT-
OF-WAY TO WATER FRONT.
On January 4, 1909, the Ocean Shore Railway Company filed with the
Board of Supervisors the following petition for a right of way to the Water
Front :
San Francisco, January 4, 1909.
To the Honorable,
the Board of Supervisors,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: — The Ocean Shore Railway Company begs leave to advise you
that at the present time it has constructed and in operation more than fifty
(50) miles of railroad, being a portion of its line now under process of con-
struction between this City and the City of Santa Cruz.
In October, 1905, there was granted to said railway company permission
to construct its railway from a point at or near Army and Kentucky streets.
thence in a general southwesterly direction to the boundary line of the City
and County of San Francisco. At that time the Ocean Shore Railway Company
contemplated the construction of its line of railway to the water front of this
City, but was advised by the City and County Attorney that he was of the
opinion that, under the Charter of this City and County, permission could not
be given to extend its road to the water front until fifty (50) miles of the
railroad were constructed and in operation.
Therefore, the Ocean Shore Railway ..Company respectfully requests that
you grant it permission to construct its railway to the water front of the City
and County of San Francisco, where the easterly side of Water Front street
would be intersected by the center line of Army street if extended: and for
that purpose said railway company has prepared an amendment to the Ordinance,
by which the right of way above mentioned was granted, which, if it becomes a
law. will grant the permission above requested: all of which is
Respectfully submitted,
OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COMPANY.
By J. Downey Harvey,
President.

heretofore passed for printing by your Honorable Board, your Committee begs
leave to report that since the passage of said Bill it has again considered the
question of the regranting of the franchise of the Ocean Shore Railway Com-
pany and has amended the said Bill in various particulars and now recom-
mends that said Bill be passed to print as amended.
The essential changes made by the amended Bill as now submitted, from the
original grant made by the Board of Supervisors in October, 1905, are as
follows :
The Ocean Shore Railway Company is granted a franchise to run ten
blocks over and along Army street from its present termination at Illinois
street to the water front.
The company is permitted by the Bill to cross at grade at Fifteenth avenue,
at San Bruno avenue, at Onondaga avenue, at Paul avenue and at Dickinson
street, these last concessions having been heretofore made by Resolutions of
the Board of Supervisors.
The company is granted the alternate privilege of traversing over private
rights of way in lieu of the public streets in the event of its desiring to avail
itself of this privilege.
The company is permitted the full use of streets in the Richmond District,
that is to say, in the old franchise provision was made that the trac'ks should
skirt several corners over private property, but it is left optional in the
amended grant to use either the streets or to cross the corners.
In all other respects the franchise remains as when passed in the first
instance.
Regarding the question of the use of steam in the operation of the road
in the Richmond District, your Committee reports that the Ocean Shore Railway
Company has expressed its willingness to file a stipulation in writing with the
Board of Supervisors that it shall not at any time use this character of motive
power for the propulsion of its cars. The filing of this stipulation will satisfy
the pi-otestants in the Richmond District and will set at rest any possible ques-
tion as to the use of steam in this territory.

OPINION OF CITY ATTORNEY.
The following matters were presented and read by the Clerk:
April 26, 1909.
Board of Supervisors,
San Francisco, California.
Gentlemen: — I am in receipt of your communication under date of April
20th wherein you request me to advise your Board whether a stipulation on the
part of the Ocean Shore Railway Company made in the matter of the application
by the Ocean Shore Railway Company for an amended franchise in the Rich-
mond District fully protects the City and County of San Francisco in the
manner intended.
As I understand the proposition the intention of the stipulation is to bind
the applicant for the amended franchise to the use of such motor power as
might be approved by your Board.
It was apprehended by residents of the Richmond District that under the
terms of the amended franchise a successful effort could be made to substitute
steam for other power. In order to meet this objection the Ocean Shore Railway
Company, through its Secretary, wrote a letter with the official seal attached to
the Mayor and your Board stating that it was not the intention of the Ocean
Shore Railway Company to use steam as a motive power in the operation of its
trains through the Richmond District and the company agreed to and with. the
City and County of San Francisco that such steam power as a motive power
would not be used.
I am inclined to the view that such a declaration and agreement prior to
the passage of the Ordinance granting the amended franchise would sufficiently
protect the City against the use of steam as a motive power in the Richmond
District. However, feeling that possibly such declaration would not sufficiently
allay the fears of the protestants. I took the matter up with the officials of the
Ocean Shore Railway Company and suggested the entering into of an agree-
ment between the company and the City and County of San Francisco whereby
it would be specifically agreed that steam motive power would not be used by
either the company or its successors or assigns.
The officials of the company met me in a broad and liberal spirit and as a
result of the negotiations I send you accompanying this letter an agreement
authorized by the Boai'd of Directors of the Ocean Shore Railway Company and
executed by J. Downey Harvey, its President, and Burke Corbett, its Secretary,
binding the company to the agreement which I suggested, viz: a promise not
to use steam as a motive power in the operation of its cars or trains in the
Richmond District.
In my judgment this meets any objections that might be urged against the
passage of the Ordinance granting the amended franchise and fully protects the
rights of all concerned.
Yours very truly,
PERCY V. LONG,
City Attorney.
1448 OCEAN SHORE RAILROAD CO. 'S FRANCHISE

Changes in Names of Streets
Owing to many complaints of irregularity in mail de-livery due to dupli-
cations in the names of streets, avenues, etc., the Supervisors by Resolution
No. 3890 (New Series), approved May 19, 1909, authorized and empowered
the Mayor to appoint a commission to recommend necessary changes to remedy
the trouble. In compliance with this Resolution, the Mayor on June 16, 1909,
appointed the following Commission: Supervisors Charles A. Murdock, Henry
Payot and W. \V. Sanderson; J. D. McGilvray Jr., Commissioner of the Board
of Public Works; R. W. Madden, Superintendent of Delivery, San Francisco
Post Office; Zoeth S. Eldredge and Charles S. Aiken. The Commissioners
organized by choosing Supervisor Murdock. Chairman, and proceeded to carry
out the difficult task allotted them. They found that in not a few instances
there was a street, avenue, court and place bearing the same name, thus causing
great confusion. A communication was addressed to the postal authorities
inquiring as to what extent the mail service suffered by such duplication of
names and the following reply was received:
POST OFFICE,
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA,
OFFICE OF THE POSTMASTER.
September 29, 1909.
Mr. Charles A. Murdock,
Chairman, Commission on Street Names,
San Francisco, California.
Dear Sir: — Replying to your question, "To what extent the delivery of
mail suffers in efficiency or economy from the conditions at present existing."
I beg to say that daily at least 500 pieces of mail are delayed owing to the
duplication of names of streets, places, courts and districts. The delay in some
cases is small, in some cases considerable, and frequently important mail is
involved, leading to much embarrassment to the addresser, the addressee, and to
the service.
Replying to your second question regarding the elimination of all dupli-
cates, becaiise of the delay .brought about by duplicates, I would eliminate
them all.
For the same reason I would not recommend two sets of numbered avenues,
with or without the addition of "south'" or any other prefix. In deciding, should
duplicate numbered avenues be renamed, which avenue should retain the num-
bers. I would suggest that those lying in the South San Francisco district be
the ones to retain the numbers.
First. J'.rcuiise it is the older district; and,
Second. Because these avenues can be extended on down the peninsula
indefinitely, a condition which is not so well obtainable in the Western Addition.
I would further suggest the retention of the same name throughout the
entire length of a street, as, for instance, in the case of Geary street and Point
hobos avenue. 1 believe it should be either one or the other from end to end.
I would suggest further that should all duplicates be eliminated, the neces-
sity for such distinctions ,-i> courts, places, etc., are not necessary.
CHANGES IX XAMES OF STREETS 1457
As a liual suggestion, I would do away with all names of districts, such as
Sunset, Richmond, Parkside. etc., as they lead to quite as much confusion in
our service as duplications of the names of streets.
These suggestions are purely from the post office standpoint. It is very
desirable, in our service, that an accurate address be furnished, and that there
be but one possible place where a letter can be delivered.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM BURKE,
Assistant Postmaster.
After months of patient investigation and consideration the Commission
filed with the Supervisors the following report recommending certain changes :
San Francisco, November S, 1909.
To the Board of Supervisors,
of the City and County of San Francisco.
The undersigned, constituted a commission to recommend necessary changes
in the names of the City streets, beg leave to report that the matter has received
careful consideration. Assured by the postal authorities that not less than 500
letters daily go astray or are delayed in delivery through the chaotic conditions
existing, the necessity of action in relief is forcibly impressed upon us; but
bearing in mind the disturbance and annoyance incident thereto, the presump-
tion has been against change, and for all recommendations made there seems
to be either absolute necessity or clear desirability. The changes proposed
correct only the most flagrant abuses, leaving undisturbed much that is to be
regretted but can be endured.
The main cause of irregularity in mail delivery is the duplication in the
use of names. For instance, we have a Virginia street, a Virginia avenue, a
Virginia place and a Virginia court. The use of the same name rfor a street
and an avenue is common. To remedy this inexcusable state of affairs, over
two hundred changes are required. In determining which name to change in
case of duplicates, we have taken the least important or the shortest — that the
fewest residents may be affected.
The word avenue has been greatly misused. It should be reserved for
important streets or used for thoroughfares at right angles with streets. Some
of our avenues are little more than alleys. It is impossible to wholly correct
this abuse, but we have recommended a number of changes, and where we have
eliminated a duplicate avenue we have generally substituted ' 'street' ' for
' 'avenue.' '
He are impressed with the necessity of much fuller designation of the
names of all our streets, and urge that an appropriation be made that will enable
the Board of Public Works to place appropriate signs on all street corners
where required, that strangers may readily find their way.
We append a letter received from the Postmaster, in reply to an inquiry
as to the changes demanded from the standpoint of the post office department.
We favor his suggestion to do away with all district designations, and favor
the omission from the City maps of Sunset, Richmond, etc.
We ask an unprejudiced consideration of the recommendations we have
made, and are confident that their adoption will prove of lasting benefit.
Very respectfully,

Bond Elections
On June 22, 1909, a special election was held, at which there was submitted
to the electors a proposition to issue bonds to the amount of $11,005,000.00 for
the following purposes :
For a City Hall and Civic Center $ 8,480,000.00
For a Polytechnic High School 600,000.00
For a Juvenile Detention Home 160,000.00
For a Park on Telegraph Hill 250,000.00
For a Park in the Potrero District 400,000.00
For an Acquatic Park at the foot of Van Ness avenue 500,000.00
For a Park in Bay View District 25,000.00
For a Park in Glen Park District 90,000.00
For Playgrounds 500,000.00
$11,005,000.00
All of the propositions submitted, save the one of $600,000 for a Polytechnic
High School, were defeated. While the defeated projects received a majority of
the votes cast on that particular proposition, they failed to receive two-thirds of
the total vote cast at the election as required by Chai'ter Amendment adopted in
1903. The total vote cast at the election was 24,028 — less than one-third of
the registered vote. An affirmative vote of 16,019 was necessary to carry any
of the propositions submitted and the Polytechnic High School project alone
received the requisite vote. On that proposition the vote was 17,893 for; 5,215
against.
The vote on the several propositions and the percentage in favor follows :
Civic Center — For, 12,804; against, 10,504; percentage in favor, .549.
Polytechnic High School — For, 17,893; against, 5,215; percentage in
favor, .774.

Geary Street Bond Election
A proposition to issue bonds to the amount of $1,950,000 for the purpose of
constructing a municipal street railroad from Kearny street along Geary street,
Point Lobos avenue and Cliff avenue to the ocean, with a branch line on Tenth
avenue from Point Lobos avenue to Golden Gate Park, was submitted to the vot-
ers at a special election held on June 24, 1909, and was defeated by a vote of
14,404 for, 7,805 against.
As 22,272 votes were cast on the proposition it failed to receive the neces-
sary two-thirds of the total vote.
The Geary street road project has been before the people three times and
although it received a majority of the votes cast at each election, it failed to
receive the two-thirds vote necessary to incur a bonded debt. It first was sub-
mitted to the electors on December 2, 1902, and was defeated by a vote of
15,071 for, 11,331 against. The project at that time covered a route from
Fulton street and Tenth avenue, along Tenth avenue to Point Lobos avenue and
Geary street to Market and Geary streets. It was proposed to convert the exist-
ing cable line into an electric system at an estimated cost of $700,000.
In April, 1903, the Supervisors again called for estimates for a municipal
railroad along the above route, the existing roadbed, tracks and conduit of the
Geary street cable road to be utilized. The City Engineer estimated the cost at
$730,000. The proposition of incurring a bonded debt to that amount was sub-
mitted to the voters at a special election on October 8, 1903. The vote recorded
was 14,351 for, 10,790 against — a defeat of the proposition as the necessary
two- thirds affirmative vote of the total vote cast had not been received bv it.

France Presents Gold Medal to City
An impressive and historic ceremony took place in the Ovpheuin Theater on
Saturday, June 5, 1909, when Jean Jules Jusseraml, Ambassador of France to
the United States, presented to San Francisco a gold medal, commemorative of
.the City's rise from the great disaster of April, 1906. Gathered on the stage
were the accredited representatives of the European powers, together with officials
of the Municipal, State and Federal Governments. A sentiment of kindly feeling
dominated the gathering and the speeches of presentation and acceptance of the
gift were received with cheers and applause by the vast audience.
Ambassador Jusserand, in presenting the medal, said:
"Since the early days in American independence no great event has hap-
pened in this country without awakening a friendly echo in distant France.
The reason for this is plain to be seen. The two nations are bound by the
most intimate of ties.
"The strongest bond of affection is, perhaps, the memory of Lafayette.
Lafayette was more than a hero, he had a seer's vision. He championed the
cause of America and lent invaluable succor to your heroic Washington.
"I cannot recount in detail the course of that interflow of thought and
opinion which has made France and America such close, enduring friends. Beside
Lafayette you may place Benjamin Franklin, your first Ambassador to France,
so eloquent, so inspiring in presence, that he readily gained the sympathy of
the French nation for the new republic.
"The simple fact that France and the United Stales are the two great
republics of the world would conjoin their thoughts and aspirations, their aims
and their accomplishment. There is the further fact that this splendid republic
was shaped by men who felt deeply the philosophy of Jean Jacques Rousseau.
"Of expressions of regard between the two countries there have been many
instances. The most famous stands in New York harbor. This one that occurs
today reaches across the wide continent.
"Three years ago in the presence of another assembly of American citizens.
in the City of Philadelphia, the Secretary of State for the United States placed
in my hands a medal commemorative of the way in which my cordial country
received Franklin when he came to tell the woes of the hard-pressed thirteen
States. That was on the 20th of April, 1906, and your City lay in flame and
ruin. We had no account of the magnitude of the disaster, we knew no details;
we only knew that a great tragedy was being enacted.
' :As I rose to accept the medal the though flashed through my mind that
the next symbol of friendship between the nations might commemorate the
resurrection of San Francisco. I expressed this thought and with it I expressed
my conviction that there need be no dread or fear for San Francisco; that she-
would be unfaltering through all the ordeal to come.
"Though we knew very imperfectly in the East what was happening here,.
I felt I understood too well the American temper to have any doubt as to what
fight against adversity your shores were then seeing, and as to what resurgence
they would see later. The past life of a city where pluck, energy, fearlessness
are more common than even gold in her banks, supplied the decision. All
behaved as men and women of heart and honor.
"The page written by the inhabitants of San Francisco on the moving
ashes of their dead city is not one that any wind will ever sweep away.
"This work, of which one single copy in gold has been made, is destined.
'to the American people and the town of San Francisco.' One side emblematic-
FRANCE PRESENTS GOLD MEDAL TO CITY 1473
ally shows your City rising from her toinb and, powerful and handsome as
ever, throwing off her shroud; on the other side the figure of France is dis-
covered presenting a branch of laurel to America.
' 'Accept this gift, Mr. Mayor, and receive it you all, American citizens, in
token that what once was, still is; that we French continue, as of old, to feel
with you in your moments of happiness or of anguish. And, if I may appro-
priate the words of Mr. Elihu Root, let me say in my turn that 'we have in
France a feeling for America ; and a sentiment, enduring among a people, is a
great and substantial fact to be reckoned with.'
''Long live San Francisco, and may continuous prosperity be the lot of
the American nation ! '' '
Mayor Edward R. Taylor, in accepting the medal on behalf of San Fran-
cisco, replied as follows:
"Mr. Ambassador: With feelings of pride and gratulation I accept, on
behalf of the City of San Francisco, the beautiful medal which your govern-
ment, through you, has presented to my City, in commemoration of her resur-
rection from the great disaster which overtook her in April of 1906 — a disaster
of such vast magnitude as to carry the woe of it around the world, and to set the
heart of a common humanity pulsing with new and unexampled emotion. Then,
indeed, did the sufferers feel to the deepest depths of their being the insignifi-
cance of human power in the presence of the titanic forces of nature; and at
the same time did they experience, beyond all imagination of theirs, the boundless
riches of humanity in the presence of appeal when rising from the ashes and
wreck of a great city.
So spontaneous, so prompt and immediate, were these riches, not only of
needed material things, but of heart-appealing sympathies, that ruin itself
became for the time supernally glorified. Xo wonder, therefore, that with new
strength and vigor, and keenly appreciative of the certain great destiny of San
Francisco, her sons immediately set to work to restore what had been lost. And
fired with noble ambitions and great desires they have gone beyond mere restora-
tion : they have called upon all that is best in modern architecture useful as
well as beautiful: they have dared to build with far greater amplitude than
before : they have incurred a large debt to replace the destroyed municipal
buildings ; they are constructing a new sewer system, and are greatly improving
the streets ; they are proceeding to secure additional water supplies, and as
auxiliary to these they are now rapidly building a fire protection plant which
will forever prevent the recurrence of their great disaster.
• 'In commemoration of these restorative labors, unparalleled in the history
of cities, you are here bearing in your hands this medal, so beautifully and
appropriately designed, and so perfectly and artistically wrought, and with
eloquent and sympathetic word you have laid it at the feet of our City — that
City which will treasure it as beyond all value and beyond all price. The Atlantic
claims Bartholdi's colossal 'Liberty Enlightening the World,' born of French
munificence, and now the Pacific, by virtue of the same munificence, proudly
claims this medal, which, though not colossal in size, is yet colossal in art. We
shall ever hold in grateful remembrance the medals which France has hereto-
fore bestowed upon our country in commemoration of great events, but this one
is peculiarly and distinctively our own, and we shall perpetually keep it as such.
"Our hearts swell on such occasion as this with emotions that bear thoughts
beyond adequate expression in words. Here the two great republics of the world
clasp hands with new fervidness, with a deeper appreciation of each other, and
with a sincerity beyond all challenge, while they see in each other's eyes an
undimmed brightness bespeaking all that is best for the future of mankind. And
in this our French fellow citizens, who have played such noble and worthy part
in all matters of civic concern, join with hearts brimming over with enthusiasm
and admiration.
1474 FH'AXCI-; Pm-:sKNTS COLD MEDAL TO CITY
''II is altogether fitting. Mr. Ambassador, that you should be the hearer of
tliis medal to us — not alone by reason of your official station, but by reason as
well of your valuable literary labors in our own tongue. And in this connection
I cannot forbear thanking you for your historic recital of the principal events
in the life of Major Pierre 1' Enfant given in your recent address at Washington
f'ity on the occasion of the reinterment in Arlington Cemtery of the body of
that distinguished man who rendered so many services to our country, not the
least of which was the planning, at the instance of General Washington, of our
beautiful National Capital.
i:San Francisco begs you will assure your government that it is in no
perfunctory spirit she receives this medal, but with a spirit of gratefulness, and
indeed of exultation, that so great a country as yours should deem our City
worthy of its especial regard and favor. At the same time we cannot but realize
that while this medal is given to our own City, it is in large measure a gift
to the people of the I'nited States, and truly symbolizes that warm and enduring
friendship which has for so long a time existed between your country and mine.
Indeed, France and the United States are so bound in the golden coils of that
friendship as to make the breaking of them inconceivable. What American can
bring to mind the virtual close of the Revolutionary War at Yorktown, where
Washington, Lafayette and Rochambeau so perfectly and so successfully co-
operated to a glorious result, without being thrilled to the utmost recesses of
his being? The alliance of France with the States in their struggle for inde-
pendence was so inestimable, that even now we are prone to shudder when we
think what might have happened had we been without it.
''Well may we stir at the name of France — France, that burst the chains
wherewith the centuries had bound her, and with an enfranchised people victori-
ously fronted all Europe in arms: France, that flung athwart the welcoming
heavens the noblest political ideal ever seen by struggling humanity — Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity: France, the successor of ancient Greece in appreciation of
the value of form, and by reason of this, of her many great men, and of her Acad-
emy, influencing art and literature so widely and so profoundly, that no other
country can be mentioned as a rival; France, whose drama touches every chonl of
our being, and whose music rolls in waves of triumph throughout the world:
France, lliat gave us the almost superhuman Balx.ac, who alone, of all the sons of
men, can be named with Shakespeare; France, that produced in the person of
Descartes the father of modern philosophy; France, that has surveyed from
innumerable mountain peaks the far. outreaching territories of science: France,
whose recuperative power in every century of the past, no matter what loss of
blood and Treasure was hers, lias amazed the world: France, whose language is
unrivaled in precision of statement, the integrity and purity of which are main-
tained through the admirable device of her Academy : France, whom every muse
has blest: France, the land of illustrious men whose names are set in the
empyrean of the ages, immortal as the stars. To this France, laurel-crowned,
and shining resplendent in the forefront of nations, we give the homage of our
minds and hearts.' '
liy Resolution of the Board of Supervisors the medal subsequently was
given into the custody of the Park Commissioners and by them placed on exhi-
bition in the Museum.

The following letter addressed by the Chairman to the American Minister
in Chili briefly states the disposition of the Chili Relief Fund:
December 6, 1906.
I have this day on behalf of the citizens of San Francisco sent you five
thousand ($5,000.00) dollars by cable for the benefit of the sufferers of the
Valparaiso disaster, which you will please deliver to the proper authorities on
receipt, giving credit to the citizens of San Francisco.
The day after the disaster, the citizens of San Francisco sen.t by cable ten
thousand ($10,000) dollars directly to the President of the Republic of Chili.
I am not aware of any formal acknowledgement of this gift, but in the news-
papers I obsei've that it was the first foreign donation received and was greatly
appreciated. Will you kindly see that both gifts are formally acknowledged?
I have advised the American National Red Cross at Washington of these
transactions and have also sent them a draft for thirty-four hundred ($3,400.00)
dollars to augment their Chili Relief Fund, so that the total contribution of the
citizens of San Francisco, raised by popular subscription for the relief of Val-
paraiso and environs is $18,400.00.
San Francisco is fast recovering from the disaster by which the business
part of the City was on April 18th last destroyed, and desires to express its
sympathy for the suffering people of her sister city, occiipying the same position
on the Pacific in the South as San- Francisco does in the North.

December 18,
His lidii. ir, tht- Mayor of San Francisco. California.
Dear Sir: — 1 have received through the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Ne\v
York, by cable to the Bank of Tarapaca and Argentina. Valparaiso, the sum of
$5,000 American gold, the gil't of citi/.ens of San Francisco to the earthquake
sufferers in Valparaiso.
CHILIAN RELIEF FUND . 1483
I delivered yesterday to the Minister of Foreign Affairs a certificate of
deposit for the amount, in Chilean currency.
As you probably know, the first donation received in Santiago was the sum
of $10,000 American gold, from the citizens of San Francisco. I delivered the
certificate of deposit to the President three or four days after the earthquake.
This latter gift makes $15,000, a wonderful act of charity from a city stricken
in a like manner only a few months since.
As no name was mentioned in the notice from the bank, I send this
acknowledgement to you and I shall be glad if you will notify the proper persons
that the money has been delivered to the Chilean authorities.
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN HICKS,
American Minister.

SUPPLEMENT
TO MUNICIPAL REPORTS
1908-9
The following pages illustrate the status of public work in
San Francisco, the photographs therefor having been taken early
in October, 1909.
Schools
The building of schoolhouses has engaged the attention
of the municipal officials for several years past. In 1903-4
bonds were authorized to the amount of $3,592,000 for the con-
struction of school buildings and the acquisition of new sites
for the same. Of these bonds the amount of $1,077,080 were
sold in 1904-5 and the work of construction was commenced
only to be interrupted by the fire of 1906. In this fire twenty-
nine school buildings were destroyed, and the heavy task of
replacing these buildings in addition to carrying out the origi-
nal plan for new structures was placed upon the city officials.
Owing to the low rate of interest on the bonds of 1904, no addi-
tional sales of that issue could be made and as soon as possible
a new issue was authorized in May, 1908, amounting to $5,000,-
000. Of this sum bonds of the face value of $2,100,000 have
been sold, realizing (with added premiums) the sum of
$2,278,205.
The total amount of money available for new work was
$3,355,285. Of this sum $657,406 has been expended in purchas-
ing additional lands. Ten buildings have been constructed and
additions made to a number of others. Contracts aggregating
$1,732,550 have been let which provide for fourteen new struct-
ures. The sum of $80,000 is in the Treasury for contracts nearly
ready for letting, and $2,900,000 of bonds of the issue of 1908
remain to be sold. In addition to the foregoing, $600,000 of
bonds were authorized for the purpose of constructing a Poly-
technic High School, and plans for this are in course of prepara-
tion. The accompanying illustrations show the buildings com-
pleted and those in course of construction.

Hospitals
In 1903 a bond issue of $1,000,000 was authorized for the-
purpose of erecting a new hospital for the City of San Fran-
cisco. Of this amount $250,000 bonds were sold in 1904. Noth-
ing further was done until 1907, when plans for an infirmary-
building were adopted and in 1908 a contract was let for its-
construction. The structure is now nearly completed. The
old hospital on Potrero Avenue became insanitary and was-
destroyed in 1908, and in May of that year bonds were author-
ized to be issued for a group of modern hospitals and two blocks
of additional land to cost $2,000,000. Bonds to the amount of
$680,000 have been sold, plans made and contracts for some af
the buildings entered into. Construction is now under way and
progressing rapidly. When completed San Francisco will have
hospital accommodations equal to any city of its size in the-
world.

Fire Department Buildings
The fire of April, 1906, destroyed a large number of fire
department houses. Some of them were immediately replaced
by temporary structures and in the tax levy of 1907-8 a special
tax was levied for the purpose of constructing permanent
buildings. From this tax the sum of $180,000 was realized, and
the buildings authorized have been completed or are under
way. In 1908 another special tax was levied which will bring
in $168,000 for a continuance of the work. The structures are
modern and contain equipment equal to all demands. The-
Fire Department of the City is rated among the most efficient
in the country.

Hall of Justice
The Hall of Justice on Kearny Street was destroyed by the
fire of April, 1906. To replace it bonds were authorized in
May, 1908, to the amount of $1,000,000. Of this amount $660,-
000 worth have been sold. The contract for the excavation
and foundation has been completed, the contract for the steel
work is now under way, and the plans for the entire building
practically completed. Contracts for the general construction
of the building will be advertised for soon, and the building
ready for occupancy next year.

Fire Protection — Cisterns
In May, 1908, bonds were authorized to the amount of
$5,200,000 for the purpose of installing a system of fire pro-
tection. As one of the units in the system provision was made
for the construction of one hundred cisterns, each with a
capacity of 75,000 gallons, at an estimated cost of $600,000. Of
this number thirty-eight have been completed and filled with
water. Thirty-one more have been contracted for and are in
various stages of completion. These cisterns are being dis-
tributed in various sections of the City, with a view of protect-
ing property in case all other available water supplies should
fail.

Fire Protection — Fireboats
One of the important units provided for in the new fire
protection system of San Francisco is that of two fireboats,
the ''David Scannell" and "Dennis T. Sullivan," named in
honor of two of San Francisco's former Chiefs of the Fire
Department. Each of these boats will have a capacity of 8,000
gallons of water a minute discharged against a pressure of 150
pounds per square inch. They can be used to protect property
along the water front or in case of emergency to supply water
into the pipe system of the City at high pressure. They cost
$262,200, are practically completed, and are awaiting final tests.

Testing Pipe for High Pressure System.
Fire Protection — Distributing System
The plan of the new high-pressure system is to lay extra
heavy castiron pipe throughout the closely-built-up portion of
the City. Water will be supplied from three reservoirs situated
at elevations from 329 feet to 755 feet. These reservoirs will
have a combined capacity of 11,500,000 gallons and will be
filled with fresh water pumped from wells in the Mission dis-
trict. In addition, the mains will be connected with two power
stations located on the bay shore, each capable of delivering
16,000 gallons of salt water per minute. Contracts for pipe,
specials, hydrants, etc., have been awarded and 10,000 pieces
of pipe already delivered are being tested in the City's pipe
yard. Here apparatus has been installed for making the most
severe tests and each piece of pipe is given minute inspection
that there may be no failure of the pipe line in any emergency.
A locomotive and a traveling crane for unloading the pipe have
been purchased, and the City has a most complete equipment
for the economic handling of the work. Of the $5,200,000 bonds
authorized, $3,000,000 have been sold for the sum of $3,374,289.
Contracts amounting to $2,948,925 have been authorized and
the amount unappropriated is $425,364. The work of laying
the pipe will commence in a short time.

Sewers
About ten years ago eminent engineers prepared plans for
an elaborate sewer system for San Francisco to cost over
$7,000,000. Bonds to this amount were authorized in 1903, but
few of the bonds were sold and little construction work was
done until 1907. Owing to the unsalability of the 1903 bonds-
an additional issue of $4,000,000 for sewer construction was-
authorized in 1908. During the past year rapid progress has
been made in constructing the new system. Contracts aggregat-
ing more than $1,500,000 have been let since July 1, 1908, and
a large force of men is constantly at work in this construction.
Sections of the City without sewers are being rapidly provided
with this sanitar}^ necessity.

Streets
The paramont necessity of any City is to have good streets.
The most serious problem confronting the municipal authorities
after the fire was that of restoring the thoroughfares to ser-
viceable condition. After the fire their condition was deplor-
able. They were filled with debris and the extraordinary traffic
immediately thereafter made the task a difficult one. Build-
ing operations also impeded the work, and it was not until 1907
that a systematic plan of street work could be put into effect.
For the past two years rapid progress has been made in rehabili-
tating the public streets. A special tax was levied in 1908 for
the repairing of streets which permitted the expenditure of
nearly half a million dollars, and in 1909 another special tax
gave as much more for the same purpose. During the last fiscal
year 1,866,557 square feet of asphalt pavement have been laid.
A municipal asphalt plant was purchased a year ago and through
this means a large amount of asphalt pavement has been con-
structed of a high class and at a lower price than ever before
reached. It is generally conceded that San Francisco's streets
are in better condition today than ever before in the history
of the Citv.

Water Supply
For more than thirty years San Francisco has been endeav-
oring to obtain an adequate supply of water under its owner-
ship and control. More real progress has been made in this
direction during the past year and a half than during all the
years preceding. In May, 1908, the United States Governmenty
through the Department of the Interior, granted rights of way
for reservoir sites in Hetch Hetchy Valley and at Lake Eleanor,,
and at these localities storage facilities exist for enough water
to supply the City during the next century. In November, 1908,
the grant was ratified by an overwhelming vote of the people
and at the same time bonds were authorized to the amount of
$600,000 for the purchase of lands and for making the neces-
sary plans for more extensive construction. During the past
six months all the land in private ownership in Hetch Hetchy
Valley has been purchased and condemnation suits are pending
for the acquisition of lands about Lake Eleanor. Parties of
surveyors have been working during the summer running lines
for the necessary diverting canals and making studies of the
dam sites and other works.
