As the revenue law enforces the payment of all taxes and as-
sessments on real estate at the office, I have given special atten-
tion to the collection of personal property taxes. I find for the
present fiscal year a smaller percentage of delinquents than
usual. Bearing in mind that from this delinquency is to be de-
ducted the long list of arbitrary assessments, taxes on shipping
payable elsewhere, estates in probate, failures, fires and prop-
erty not to be found, very little that is really collectable will
find its way to the special counsel having the matter in hand.
Respectfully,
CHAS. TILLSON,
Tax Collector.

CITY LITIGATION. 183
STEEET ASSESSMENT SUITS.
There are now pending in the Superior Court of this city and county 889
suits on street assessments. These actions are brought in the name of the
"People of the City and County of San Francisco," under the Acts of April
4, 1870, and April 1, 1872. The amounts, when collected, are paid into the
City and County Treasury for the contractors.
The records of this office show that in nearly all of these cases second
suits have been instituted under the Act of March 19, 1874, known as the
"Curative Act."
Since the date of last report judgment has been rendered in some 73 suits,
and, whether or not it may be the duty of this office, under the law, to take
these cases on appeal to the Supreme Court of this State, is a question yet to
be decided.
Since date of last report the amount claimed under one assessment has
been paid into the City and County Treasury, and the judgment satisfied.
In order to facilitate the trial of these cases, most of which have been long
pending, it was decided by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court that
each case, when reached upon the several calendars, should be at once
transferred to Department No. 10, at the new City Hall, and whenever any
of these cases are placed upon the calendar this office is prepared and ready
to try them. Respectfully submitted,
JOHN LUTTEELL MUEPHY,
Attorney and Counselor for the City and County of San Francisco.

REPORT
OP
THE CHIEF ENGINEER
OF THE
San Francisco Paid Fire Department.
To the Honorable the Board of Fire Commissioners
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — I have the honor to present to you this the fourteenth an-
nual report of the San Francisco Paid Fire Department for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1880.
The report contains a statement of the condition and workings of the De-
partment; also, a complete roll of the companies in the Department, with
the property under their charge, including engines, hose-reels, hook-and-
ladder trucks, and appurtenances, material and property belonging to the
Department contained in the Corporation Yard, the number and location of
the fire hydrants in the different portions of the city, a list of the number,
location and capacity of the cisterns, the number of alarms responded to by
each company, number of times in service and time at work at fires.
HOSE.
There have been purchased for the use of the Department during the year
eight thousand feet of new hose. In the report will be found a statement of
the quantity and location of all of the hose in the Department available for
fire purposes. Our supply of hose is ample and in excellent order.
CISTEENS.
In the report will be found a statement of the number, location and -capac-
ity of cisterns from which the Department can, in case of necessity, obtain a
supply of water.
196 CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT.
HYDBANTS.
Herewith will be found a report of the number and location of the hy-
drants. There are thirteen hundred and fifty-two (1,352) fire hydrants
located in different portions of the city, of which thirteen hundred and nine
(1,309) are the property of the city and forty-three (43) are owned by pri-
vate parties. The hydrants that are the property of the city are kept in
repair and paid for out of the running expenses of the Department.
DEPAETMENT APPARATUS.
The apparatus of the department is in first class order, having been thor-
oughly overhauled and repaired during the year.
I would recommend the sale of the old Leverich Belief Truck and the
purchase of a new one with all new inventions and improvements for use of
Truck Company No. 4. I would also recommend the purchase of a new third
class Amoskeag engine for use in the upper portion of the city. Engine Com-
panies 3, 5 and 8 are all third class engines, and we have no relief engine of
the size to be used in case of necessity. I would also recommend the forma-
tion and location of a hose company in the vicinity of Mission, Valencia and
Twenty-sixth streets, — hose carriage to be four-wheeled and capable of carry-
ing 1,000 feet of hose. That portion of the city requires some protection, as
the nearest company is No. 7 Engine, located on Sixteenth street.
DEPAETMENT HOUSES.
The houses of the Department are all in excellent state of repair. I would
urgently recommend the exchange of the lot of Engine Company No. 11, lo-
cated on Fourteenth avenue, South San Francisco, for one situated on Rail-
road avenue, and the erection of a suitable house on the same for the use of
the company, as the present one is unfitted for use on account of the street
not being graded, thereby rendering it difficult for liie company to respond
promptly to alarms of fire.
STREET LAMPS.
I would recommend that the upper- part of street lamps in the immediate
vicinity of fire alarm boxes be fitted with red glass having ground thereon
the letters "F. A.," and that the lamps be kept burning during the entire
night, so that any person having a key may, upon discovery of a fire, be im-
mediately apprised by means of this signal of the locality of a fire alarm box.
I would also recommend that for the use of firemen the upper part of street
lamps nearest to hydrants be fitted up with plain blue glass, so that firemen in
going to a fire may at a glance determine the location of hydrants.
FIEE BOAT.
Since' my last report the tug-boat Governor Irwin, used as a fire-boat when
occasion required, was withdrawn from the service by the State Board of
Harbor Commissioners. Subsequently a serious fire occurring among the
REMARKS. 197
shipping at the Pacific Mail Dock demonstrated the necessity of a fire-boat
for the protection of shipping from fire. Through the exertions of the Board
of Underwriters and others, they succeeded, through the kindness of the
Board of Harbor Commissioners, in again placing the tug Governor Irwin at
the service of the Department. A company was organized by authority of
the honorable Board of Supervisors which has been in service since the 1st
of May and responds promptly to all alarms on the water front. I would
strongly urge upon you the necessity of applying to the proper authorities
for authority to build a complete fire-boat, with all modern improvements
and with machinery for generating carbonic acid gas for the extinguishing of
fires on shipboard, as the use of water as a means of extinguishing fires
proves wholly inadequate, for it is a well-known fact that a fire afloat, unless
promptly overcome, is almost certain to result in large loss of property. The
use of chemicals on shipboard for extinguishment of fires has proved very
successful isi New Orleans and elsewhere, and it has been fully demonstrated
that by battening down of hatches tightly and a free use of carbonic acid gas
forced in the holds of vessels on fire has proved a great success in every case
where applied, and is not injurious to cargo.
BEMARKS.
There is just cause -for congratulation at our exemption from large con-
flagrations during the past year. When we consider the great number of
frame buildings throughout the city, it is more than remarkable that we have
not met with more serious losses by fire.
The fire law is practically inoperative. It is violated daily with impunity,
and although we have endeavored to enforce the penalty, we have been unsuc-
cessful through lax administration of the law by the officers thereof, fires
constantly occurring through carelessness in depositing ashes in wooden bar-
rels or alongside buildings. Neglect in not cleaning chimneys is the cause
of many alarms, and a consequent loss to the city in the wear of apparatus.
There having been considerable controversy the past year in relation to the
reduction of the salaries and expenses of the Department, I deem it proper
now to enter my protest against such action, and I think it would be well
that the public should be informed of the reasons why any proposed reduc-
tion would be unwise and impolitic. The time of our permanent men is en-
tirely occupied day and night, their absence from their posts on any ac-
count being prohibited, except upon the employment of substitutes, whose
wages have to be paid by them. The extramen, who have to leave their em-
ployment at a moment's notice, who literally have to face death and injuries
in a far greater ratio than the soldier, certainly receive too moderate a
compensation to admit of any serious argument. The advantages of disci-
pline and experience, the danger and troubles incident to too frequent
changes and ignorance of their duty are too important to be overlooked, and
198 CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT.
I feel assured that it would endanger the efficiency of the Department, should
a reduction of salaries be enforced.
In the matter of economy and a reduction of the expenses of the Depart-
ment, I feel justified in challenging comparison with any other branch of the
State or city government. Economy is defined as getting the full value of
your money, and if there are any disbursements made for materials and sup-
plies that this Department did not get the worth of, you would certainly be
cognizant of it. Kegarding the necessity of those expenditures, you and the
honorable Board of Supervisors have been the judges. That nothing has
been ordered for the use of the Department that was unnecessary, and that
nothing has been paid for beyond its value are facts that the records and
your personal knowledge will readily sustain; yet I regret to observe that
there is an evident disposition to curtail and reduce our appropriation, and
in a measure depriving you of the credit of promoting efficiency and economy
in the interests of the Department.
I wish to tender my thanks to the honorable the Mayor, the Board of
Supervisors and the Fire Department Committee of the Board of Supervisors
for their cordial support and prompt response to all requests made to them
to provide for the Department, to which hearty co-operation is due in a great
measure the success attending the efforts of the Department during the year.
To Chief Crowley and the Police Department, who have during the year
rendered such service as has been required of them in. the most satisfactory
manner, and it is gratifying to know that the most friendly relations exist
between the two departments. To Captain White, of the Fire Patrol, and
this company, for the very great aid rendered the Department on many occa-
sions. To Superintendent Curran and his assistants for the efficiency dis-
played by them in their department. To Mr. Lohse, of the Spring Valley
Water Works, for the prompt and efficient manner in which the water pipes
and hydrants have been attended to during the year.
I wish to compliment the officers and members of the Department for- the
promptness with which they have responded to all alarms during the year
and the efficient manner in which they have labored in subduing fires, and I
can say that the department is fully equal to any emergency likely to arise.
In conclusion, allow me to return thanks to your honorable Board for your
untiring efforts to maintain discipline and efficiency in the Department, and
aid me in the discharge of my duties — a credit to your management in the
interest of the city and taxpayers.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

248 FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH.
We are now operating one hundred and twenty miles of wire. One hun-
dred miles of this is run on poles, the balance on houses.
During the past year the following extensions and improvements have
been made:
We have put up twelve miles of No. 9 galvanized wire. Six miles of
this was used in the construction of a new signal circuit, the balance in gen-
eral repairs. The new signal circuit was run through the Western addition
and enabled me to not only locate new boxes but also to provide that section
of the City with two signal circuits, and to divide up the boxes so as to give
it the greatest protection possible at present.
Twelve Automatic Boxes were placed in circuit, two replacing Crank
Boxes removed from service and the balance being new boxes, as follows, and
located as per official list: 178, 251, 253, 291, 312, 314, 321, 324, 325, 226 = 10.
A line was run from this office to that of Chief Engineer Scannell and the
Fire Commissioners, and connected with a small gong there and so arranged
that immediately upon the first tap of an alarm being received at this office,
a switch is turned by the operator, which connects this line with the line on
which the alarm is coming and enables the Chief Engineer to receive the
alarm a few seconds before the regular alarm is struck. This is designated
as a Tapper line and has given satisfaction.
As a number of companies rendezvous at the corner of Kearny and Mar-
ket streets, at every alarm, where they wait for a second alarm, and it
often being difficult to hear a bell on account of noise, it was deemed advis-
able to place a gong in the neighborhood upon which the companies could
always depend; arrangements were therefore made and a fifteen-inch Engine
House Gong was placed in the establishment of Messrs. Adam and Kibbe on
the corner of these streets, which is accessible to the Department at all hours
of the day or night.
The working of our lines is frequently interrupted by telephone and private
wires, and to protect them from such interruption as much as possible I have
concluded to use in the most exposed places through the business part of the
city (where most of the interruptions occur), No. 10 galvanized line wire,
insulated in such a manner as to prevent interference by outside lines and
this in connection with the use of cornice brackets, i.e., iron brackets with an
insulator on the upright portion and attached to the corners of the cornices,
will place our lines in as safe a position as is possible where they are run
over houses.
We have also had some trouble caused by the wooden pins breaking and
letting our wires down in the streets where the lines turn corners and pass
from one street to another at right angles, and to obviate this I have devised
an iron pin 8 inches long by % diameter; one end of this is placed in a
mould and a lead head with screw attached to fit insulator glass is moulded
on to it; this I found to be a success and since commencing to use them have
never found one to give way.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. 249
No additions were made to the local line at South San Francisco, but the
line was re-run with new wire, the necessity for which became apparent upon
taking down the old wire, some portions of which were' found to be in very
bad condition, caused by the action of the salt water on the marshes over
which the line ran.
The gong of Engine No. 11 which is on this line was overhauled, cleaned,
and the magnets rewound, which removed considerable resistance and causes
the line to work better.
In my last report I spoke of some improvements which I contemplated
placing in the Automatic Boxes; these improvements I have placed in most
of these boxes and it has enabled me to make a great reduction in the bat-
tery on these lines ; in some cases it amounts to a reduction of fifty and
sixty per cent.
Among the additions to the instruments in the office has been a combined
Test Switch Board, to which all the wires are brought, where they are so ar-
ranged that a number of necessary tests can be made rapidly and with accur-
acy.
To provide for additional signal circuits a black walnut table has been
placed across the front of the office, and on this are placed improved regis-
ters. The old registers are five pen, and they and the relays used in connec-
tion with them possess a number of serious defects which I have overcome
with the new ones; these have a single pen and each has two main line relays
and two local alarm bells, together with necessary switches and other safe-
guards, which render it impossible for them to get out of order.
Among other improvements contemplated is that of removing the wires
on Kearny, Market and Third streets, which are run over houses, and
placing them on a line of 30 and -iO-foot poles, to be set on Dupout, Mar-
ket and Third. At present they are greatly troubled by outside wires, and are
inaccessible at night; to place them on these poles will put them where we
can always get at them and they will be less likely to be interfered with.

REMARKS. 253
The attention of your Honorable Body is again respectfully called to the
urgent necessity of discarding the old Crank Box, and substituting the Auto-
matic. Improper turning at boxes from which the signal is given by the
crank is still the rule, and a perfect signal the exception. Although the at-
tention of key-holders has been called to this defect repeatedly, both by
printed and personal explanation, it is noticeable to as great an extent as
ever, and there is but little hope of any improvement in this respect until
the signaling apparatus of the boxes is changed. Nothing but long experi-
ence and a thorough familiarity with the instruments and boxes, which have
taught the operators the various shapes into which a signal can be tortured,
has in many instances prevented the giving of a wrong alarm and a conse-
quent sending of the Fire Department to a different locality from where the
fire was located. Something is needed that shall place it beyond the power
of an over-excited or over-cautious party to give an imperfect signal. Our
own experience, and that of every city that has used crank boxes, shows con-
clusively that they are unreliable and should be discarded . The Automatic
Fire Alarm Box needs only to be seen to convince any one of their great su-
periority over the cranks. One pull at a hook sets in motion train work that
gives the signal with unerring accuracy, and it seems to me a necessity that
all our old crank boxes should be replaced by them, for where so much is at
stake no argument is needed in favor of employing the very best means that
can be obtained to accomplish the desired end, viz., an instantaneous and
definite fire signal. If the Fire Alarm Telegraph is worth anything to the
Fire Department, it should be pushed to its utmost efficiency^ We have in
use at present 82 Crank Boxes, and I cannot too strongly urge their retire-
ment from service and the substitution of the Automatic Box at as early a
date as possible.
During the past year frequent and serious interruptions have been caused
by the numerous telephone and private wires throughout the city. Boxes
have been cut out, and in some instances our wires have been cut and their
usefulness destroyed for the time being, as during such period no alarm could
be received or transmitted to the Fire Department, and unless some law is
passed which will be so severe as to dett-r the perpetrators of these acts, it
will some day result in a serious conflagration.
It sometimes happens that persons desiring to use a Fire Alarm Box at
night are unable to immediately find one, owing to their ignorance of the lo-
cation of the boxes. For this reason I would suggest that the upper part of
the street lamp on each corner that has a box be fitted with red glass, which
will be visible for several blocks in every direction, and will always be a
prominent indication of the location of a box.
In conclusion, I wish to tender my thanks to his Honor the Mayor, the
Board of Supervisors, Fire Department Committee of the Board of Super-
254 FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH.
visors, the Board of Fire Commissioners, Chief Engineer Scannell and his
assistants, the Board of Underwriters, and Captain White, of the Fire Pa-
trol, for their kindness and courtesy to this Department; and I also take
pleasure in returning my thanks to the employees of this office for their
cheerful co-operation and valuable assistance in promoting the efficiency and
reliability of this Department.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
JOHN CURRAN,
Superintendent Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph.
REPORT
OF THK
SUPERINTENDED OF PUBLIC STREETS
HIGHWAYS AND SQUARES.
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF )
PUBLIC STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, j
SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 1880.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — Herewith I have the honor of transmitting my
annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880.
This Department during my administration has not deviated
from a strict adherence to the law limiting its expenditures, bet-
ter known as the " McCoppin one-twelfth Act."
No work has been done on unaccepted streets, which Section
19 of Article 4 of the Constittionn effectually estops, the Supreme
Court, in the case of McDonald vs. Patterson, having decided
said section to be mandatory, requiring no legislation to put it
in force.
There are twenty-seven miles of county roads, including many
bridges and culverts, to be kept in repair, necessitating the con-
tinual employment of a considerable force under the constant
256 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
supervision of a deputy; they are now in good condition, but the
limited amount of five hundred dollars per month, set apart for
that purpose, is scarcely adequate to keep them so, especially in
inclement seasons of the year.
Your attention is respectfully called to the condition of the
sewer on Eighteenth street; the old sewer, composed of wood,
having almost entirely rotted out, it is impossible to maintain the
street in proper repair; in many places the surface is only held
by the arch of the macadam. I would therefore earnestly recom-
mend that a new sewer be constructed before the rainy season
sets in.
I would also call attention to the dilapidated condition of the
city front, there being no authority or funds under my control
to enable me to remedy the evil.
I would respectfully recommend to your Honorable Board the
purchase of a steam roller. No pavement of any description will
endure for any length of time without a solid foundation, and I
deem it to be true economy for the city to own a machine so
constantly necessary.
Eespectfully, your obedient servant,
WM. PATTERSON,
Superintendent of Public Streets, Highways and Squares.

OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE.
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE, ^
San Francisco, July 1, 1880. j
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco :
GENTLEMEN — In compliance with Kesolution No . 14,765 (new
series), of your Honorable Board, I submit herewith the annual
report of the Police Department for the year ending June 30,
1880.
Schedule "A" exhibits the number and tabulated statements
of the arrests made by the police during the year.
Schedule "B" shows the number of arrests by, and strength
of the police force for eighteen years preceding June 30, 1880.
Schedule "C" — cash received during the year from Sheriffs of
other counties, masters of vessels and others for keeping of pris-
oners in the city prison.
Schedule "D" exhibits the value of property reported as lost
or stolen during the year, and amount recovered by the police.
Schedule "E" exhibits the number of witnesses subpoenaed
for the several Courts of Criminal jurisdiction for the year end-
ing June 30, 1880.
Schedule "F" — Unclaimed property or money in possession of
the Chief of Police to June 30, 1880.
Schedule "G-" exhibits the number of police stations and
their location.
Schedule "H" — Comparative statement of population, police
force, number of arrests, average number of arrests to each officer,
and ratio of population to police force.
Schedule "I" — Summary of action taken by the Board of
Police Commissioners in the supervision of retail liquor dealers'
licenses from January 1, 1880, to June 30, 1880.
280 CHIEF OF POLICE'S REPORT.
POLICE STATIONS.
The growth of the city and increase of population has required
the establishment of branch police stations in several locations,
as will appear by schedule " G."
These stations are connected by telephone with the central
office, and, if necessary, the officers there detailed can be con-
centrated more speedily than under the former system.
Some of these stations are inconveniently situated, and are not
well adapted to the requirements of the service, and, in view of
the fact that the want of these facilities will be continuous until
supplied, I would urge that it would be a useful and economic
measure for the city to purchase suitable lots, and thereon build
police stations fully adapted to our wants.
The experience of other cities shows the utility of having per-
manent branch police stations owned by the city.
LIQUOR LICENSES.
The act to equalize and facilitate the collection of licenses in
the city and county of San Francisco, approved March 23, 1878,
which gives the Police Commissioners power to supervise (to a
limited extent) the issue of retail liquor dealers' licenses, has pro-
duced satisfactory results.
Under it a considerable sum of delinquent license has been
collected, and many places have been closed which should not
have been allowed to continue business if there had previously
been any law to reach them .
In proportion as the Police Commissioners have laid on their
restraining hand, resistance has developed to the enforcement of
the law, and suits have been brought to overthrow their au-
thor ii,y.
These suits have been decided adversely to the plaintiff, and
thereis.no reason to believe that any other conclusion can be
reached in the proceedings which are still pending.
The action of the Board on this subject is shown in schedule
K T »
All of which is respectfully submitted.

HOUSE OF CORRECTION. 311
EXHIBIT "N."
In the preceding pages I have given tables showing more fully the details
•of our prison matters than is required by law or would be of interest to the
ordinary reader; but, as at the present day the subject of the investigation
of the causes of criminal life, and the treatment of the criminal, and the
criminally inclined classes is absorbing the attention of many of the most
intelligent minds of our country, especially such as are given to the study of
social science, and to those whose labors are given to works of humanity, I
have tabulated for their examination and use such facts as I deemed useful
to them and accessible to me.
An examination of the books of the preceding administration, and a com-
parison, shows about the same statistical facts in one year as in another, so
it may be accepted that our prisoners come from the same sources, are
from the same class of people, and have been guilty of about the same
offenses, numerically, in one year as another.
Our numbers may be greater or less, as influenced by many causes.
City prisons are best filled (if numbers are an indication) when times are
good, when money is easy to get, and when the lower classes do not have to
work hard to make a living, when from the ease with which they make
money they indulge in unreasonable excesses and get into trouble.
Laxity of police vigilance tends largely to a reduction of the number com-
mitted, and, if the past is any criterion, our prisons are crowded in the win-
ter months and empty, or nearly so, in the summer.
I would call the attention of your Honorable Board to the class of prison-
ers sent to us known as "repeaters." I think it is simply nonsensical to
send that class of familiar faces to- the police and frequenters to courts of
justice, for such a short period as three months. They should be treated
as chronic cases, and receive a longer term of imprisonment. It takes the
time of the police officer, of the courts, and of your prison officials, which
should be given to better work, and it costs the tax-payers too much to be a
matter of indifference. Another class to which I wonld call your attention —
those who properly belong to alms-houses and asylums. It is a pity they are
sent to us. No matter through what cause they may have lost their health
or reason, the prison is not the place for them, and surely it is not the place
for idiots. It is much easier, however, to write of the faults of any system
than to suggest remedies for their ills; but the time to cure disease, moral or
physical, is in its inception or in its earliest stages, and not after its having
taken deep root.
The present congregate prison system, at best, is extremely faulty, whether
for juyeuiles or adults; and if they must be associated together, the less inter-
course the better, and the more rigid the discipline the better, also.
312 REPORT OF THE
In this connection, the jails of our city are demoralizing to an alarming
extent, and our state prisons are EO better. In many of them prisoners are
herded like "cattle," the good and the bad indiscriminately placed together,
and all the vileness of the worst is, or may be, communicated to the others.
Prisoners should be held in such restraint that neither their actions nor
language could shock the moral sensibilities of their more decent fellows.
During the past year we have made valuable improvements in and about
the building.
The lawns are much improved, and the vegetable garden is producing an
abundance of fine, fresh vegetables to supply the officers' tables.
We have also made many improvements inside the prison, such as putting
new floors in the lower cells, plumbing, painting, etc., etc., all of which has
been done by prison labor, and would have cost the city hundreds of dollars
to have hired it done.
The discipline, order and cleanliness of the institution have been such as
to merit the approval of your Honorable Board.
The sanitary condition has been faultless, the sick have been carefully
cared for, and but few complaints have been made to me by any prisoner of
any supposed grievance during my administration as Superintendent. And
I believe that the expense of management has been economical, and the re-
sults, so far as pecuniary interest is concerned, have been all that could be
reasonably desired, as the following comparison with the preceding year will
clearly show.
The total expense of running the institution last year (1878-79) was, as
per Auditor's books, sixty-two thousand one hundred and sixteen dollars
and seventy-five cents. Add debts contracted (paid this year) , two thousand
eight hundred and forty-four dollars and sixty-four cents, and it makes a
total of sixty-four thousand nine hundred and fifty-eight dollars and thirty-
nine cents,
The total expenses this year, deducting the amount of two thousand eight
hundred and forty-four dollars and sixty-four cents, paid for bills contracted
and not audited last year, is fifty thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine
dollars and thirteen cents. Deducting the amount of thirty-six hundred ddl-
lars from the expenses last year, for the amount of the decrease in the salar-
ies of officers, leaves a net expense of sixty-one thousand three hundred and
fifty-eight dollars and thirty-nine cents, while the net amount of expense for
the fiscal year 1879-80 is fifty thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine dol-
lars and thirteen cents, making a clear saving this year over the last of ten
thousand five hundred and twenty-nine dollars and twenty-six cents . And
the records will show more prisoners received this year than last.
The per capita this year, including all expenses, has been thirty-six and
one-fourth cents. The per capita for 1878-79 was, after deducting thirty-six
hundred dollars (difference in salaries), forty-eight and one-half cents, and
you will readily perceive that the per capita will be larger as the prisoners
decrease, as the salaries do not decrease with the prisoners.
HOUSE OF CORRECTION. 313
Therefore I claim that the present Board has made a good showing in this
institution, and I would here take the opportunity to thank the members of
your Honorable Board for many valuable suggestions and their hearty
co-operation in the management of this institution.
I would also thank Supervisor Schottler for the many visits he has paid
the prison, and for the uniform kindness he has manifested toward me, and
for the zealous interest he has shown in aiding me to conduct the prison in
a creditable manner, reflecting great credit upon himself as chairman of the
House of Correction Committee, as well as to the balance of the Board and
Committee.
I wish also to thank Dr. Charles Blach, City and County Physician, for
promptness at all hours of the day or night, when called to this place, and
congratulate him upon his success in treating the inmates of this institution,
having only two deaths within the past year, and both cases being men over
sixty-four years of age, and who died from the effects of chronic alcoholism.
I would also thank the Directors of the Odd Fellows' and Mercantile-
Library Associations for the donation of valuable miscellaneous reading
matter, and other friends who have assisted in establishing a library at the
House of Correction, now consisting of five hundred and seventy-one volumes.
I deem a well-selected library among the most important additions to any
public institution that could be made, and ours is highly appreciated by both,
officers and prisoners.
My thanks are also due to my subordinate officers for the faithful manner
in which they have performed their duties, and I am happy to report no-
escapes during my administration, owing to the efficiency of my officers, and,,
with but few exceptions (which I trust will soon be overcome), the discipline
of the institution is highly satisfactory to me.
Eeligious services have been held at this place every Sabbath, with but
one or two exceptions, the Protestants holding service one Sabbath and the
Catholics the other, thus alternating with each other.
Mr. Woodworth, Secretary of the Prison Commission, has my sincere
thanks for the good work he has done in bringing reading matter and preach-
ing to the inmates.
In fact, he is to be thanked for starting the services at this place, and he-
has them.
To your Honorable Body I am indebted for your continued confidence in
my administration, as evidenced by your kindness at all times to me, and by
your ready adoption of such suggestions as from time to time I have made.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL REPORT.
SAN FKANCISCO, JULY 1, 1880.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — In accordance with resolution No. 14,765 (New
Series), I herewith present my annual report as Superintendent
of the City and County Industrial School, for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1880.
Of the inmates I can speak very favorably. Their conduct and
morals have been as good as could be expected from the class
we have to deal with, a majority of whom have been taken from
the lowest class of society. Brought up in ignorance and vice,
and allowed to have their own way in everything, it is but natural
that they should eventually find their way "out to the school."
I am satisfied from my investigation that in four-fifths of the
oases the parents are to blame for their children being in this in-
stitution. "While there are some of the boys that can be re-
formed, there are others who will eventually bring up in the
State Prison.
This report will show a smaller number present in the institu-
tion than last year. I can only account for the falling off in
numbers by the granting of indefinite leave of absence to inmates
who have only been in the institution a short time . It is almost
always the case that a boy who leaves on probation is returned to
the school in a short time, 011 a new charge. I would recom-
mend that no boy be released until he has served at least six
months in the institution, and then only on the recommendation
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. 315
of the Superintendent, as he, having constant watch over him, is
able to see any reform that may have taken place during his stay
in the institution, and would be able to judge whether the public
would be benefited by the release.
Schedule "A" will show the number of boys committed, cause
of commitment, by whom committed, term, age, etc.
Schedule "B" will show the number. of girls committed, cause
of commitment, by whom committed, term, age, etc.
Schedule "C" will show how the inmates have been received
and discharged.
Following is the amount of work performed in the different
departments and amount of material on hand :
SHOE SHOP.
There has been employed in the Shoe Shop during the year an average of
ten boys five days in each week. The amount of work done by them has
been as follows :
Number of pairs of shoes made 486
Number of pairs of shoes repaired 976
Number of pairs of shoes distributed 434
Number of pairs of shoes on hand . , . < 57
Number of pairs of women's slippers on hand 173
Number of pairs of balmorals 22
TAILOR SHOP.
The tailor shop has been kept busy all the year making and repairing
clothes. An average of ten boys have been kept in this department five days
in each week. The work performed by them, and the articles on hand, are as
follows':
Number of jackets made 121
Number of pants made 267
Number of caps made 202
Number of jackets repaired . . . 1,752
Number of pants repaired 1,113

Number of pants on hand 118
Number of caps on hand . . 42
Number of overalls on hand 3
Number of jumpers on hand 9
Number of yards of cloth on hand 818
316
REPORT OF THE
LAUNDRY.
There has been employed in the Laundry an average of seven boys, six
days in the week, who have done all the washing and ironing of the institu-
tion. The amount of work performed in this department has been as fol-
lows :
Number of pieces washed 52,356
Number of pieces ironed % 24,032
Average number of pieces washed per mouth 4,363
Average number of pieces ironed per month 2,003%
SEWING ROOM.
In the Sewing Room live boys have bean employed five days of each week.
In this department all the shirts, sheets, spreads, etc., are made and mended.
The work done in this department has been as follows :
Number of shirts made 200
Number of shirts examined and repaired 5,722
Number of sheets examined and repaired 140
Number of spreads examined and repaired 126
Number of miscellaneous pieces repaired 330
GARDEN.
Our garden is in a nourishing condition. We are now able to furnish all
our own vegetables and garden produce. There has been an average of seven
boys employed six days in the week.
FARM.
Outside of the garden, there are six boys employed on the farm, who do
all the work outside under the stipervision of the farmer. The farm will
produce about one hundred tons of excellent hay. We have also five acres of
potatoes which will turn out very well. The farm land is divided as follows:
Industrial School and gixninds • 5 acres
House of Correction and grounds 5 acres
Barn, stable, shed and grounds 3 acres
Cultivated for hay 53 acres
Cultivated for vegetables 9 acres
Pasturage 35 acres
Total 110 acres

In the kitchen there are eight boys employed all day. The
balance of the inmates are distributed around in the halls, dor-
mitories, officers' rooms, school rooms, hospitals, etc. Every
boy in the institution is detailed to some kind of work, none are
idle.
The institution, being nearly twenty-one years old, necessitated
a great many repairs to keep it in good condition. There are a
great many repairs that are required to be done, and will cost a
considerable amount of money, and are likely to increase every
year. We have made some necessary improvements in the build-
ing during the year. New water closets have been put in the
dormitories, replacing the old ones, which have been a continual
source of expense keeping them in repair. The old range, being
all burnt out, necessitated a new one, which was put in last Feb-
ruary and at the present time is working well. There have been
new pipes put in different parts of the building, thus giving a
better water supply. A new fence has been built at the barn,
making a large yard for pigs to run in. A new fence has also
been built at the south end of the building, replacing the old
one, which was blown down. This fence acts as a wind-break to
protect the yard from the heavy westerly winds that blow during
the afternoon.
The fence enclosing the building is in a very bad condition.
The braces on that portion of the fence facing east being very
unsafe, in case of a very heavy wind I could not answer for
318 REPORT OF THE
the damage that would be done. The bottom of the fence is rot-
ten from the top of the ground down, and will necessitate the
putting of new fencing from the depth of three feet to about the
same distance above ground. This, with new braces on the out-
side, will make it quite secure.
PAINTING, ETC.
The walls of the main 'building, school rooms and small dor-
mitory have all been whitened and some of them painted. The
office, sitting room and hall ways have all been painted in imita-
tion of wainscoting. Other parts of the building have been
painted when required.
GRADING.
A number of convicts have been sent over from the House of
Correction to work, grading the rear bank. The dirt taken from
the bank is used to make a road leading from the rear gate to the
barn, thereby avoiding the heavy grade we have to use now. The
road is nearly finished, and it is my intention to continue it along
the south and east sides of the fence to connect with the main
road, and thereby improve the entrance to the yard. When the
bank is graded it will make a great improvement to the rear
yard.
I am pained to report the death of two boys in the institution
during the year. Frank Faskell, aged eighteen years, died March
10, 1880, after a lingering sickness of many months. William
Beinhardt, aged sixteen years, died May 8, 1880; he was 'also
sick a long time. They were both buried from the institution
with appropriate services. I will liere return my thanks to Dr.
B. D. Dean, our visiting physician, for the care and attention he
has always shown those who have been unfortunate enough to
come under his care.
Schedule "D" will show the manner in which the appropria-
tion has been expended. Under the head of repairs and improve-
ments there should be added $232 50 paid for the new range,
also $154 40 paid for a new copper kettle put in the laundry;
these amounts were put in the miscellaneous account and should
be deducted from that account.
During the year I have visited the Magdalen Asylum weekly.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. 319
I have always found the inmates in good spirits, cleanly, and
well taken care of. There have been no complaints made to me
of any kind, and all the inmates appear to be as contented as
could be expected under the circumstances.
There was paid to the Magdalen Asylum last year, for the
maintenance of 841 girls, being an average of 70J girls per month,
$12,863 50; while the provisions, clothing and shoes, to maintain
1,685 inmates in the Industrial School amount to $11,593 63; the
average cost of maintaining the girls per month was $15 40.4;
for maintaining an average of 141 1-12 inmates in the Industrial
School, per month, was $7 41.9. This, to me, seems to be more
than should be paid. The girls can be taken care of in this in-
stitution at a cost of one-half the amount paid at present. I
would recommend that some action be taken by your Honorable
Board toward lessening the expense of keeping the girls, either
by reducing the amount paid for their maintenance at the asylum,
or having them transferred to this institution.
Appended are schedules showing the commitments, discharges,
disbursements, average cost of maintenance, etc.
To your Honorable Body I desire to express my warmest thanks
for courtesies extended, and to the Industrial School and House
of Correction Committees for material assistance in expediting
work done during the year.
To the officers and employees I am indebted, their labors being
arduous, and at times showing no satisfactory results. I tender
them my sincere thanks, hoping to receive their earnest co-oper-
ation in the future as I have in the past.
Trusting that our labors will receive the approbation of your
Honorable Board, this report is respectfully submitted.

Superintendent.

School exercises are as follows:
Monday — Spelling, Reading, Arithmetic, Writing, and Lessons on Morals
and Manners.
Tuesday — Spelling, Beading, Intellectual and Written Arithmetic, Gram-
mar, Geography, Writing and Singing.
Wednesday — As on Monday.
Thursday — As on Tuesday.
Friday — Spelling, Reading, Dictation, Composition, Arithmetic, and Les-
sons on Morals and Manners.
Saturday is taken up with house cleaning, bathing, inspection of clothing,
etc.
* Sunday — Religious exercises from 9% to 10% A. M., and Sunday School
from two to three o'clock p. M.
* Band Exercises — On school days from 10 to 10% A. M. and from 6% to
7% P. M.
The band is composed at the present time of young boys who have been
but a frhort time under instruction, and are doing very well, considering this
fact and that they have old instruments, worn-out and almost unfit for use.
But steps are being taken to obtain new instruments, and then, under their
able and attentive leader, they will regain their old standing as one of the
leading bands of the city.
During the past year we have received many favors in the way of presents
of pictorials, magazines and papers, which are ^agerly sought for by the boys
and read and re-read. Our best friend has been the Society of California
Pioneers, and then Messrs. Badger, Grant and Rev. Father Harrington.
It will be seen from the tables given that the boys have made considerable
progress during the past year, and that in the face of many obstacles. A
number of the boys have at times to be absent from school attending to work
in the shops, on the farm and garden. But this is not a loss, for I consider
it more desirable to teach the class of boys we have to deal with habits of
industry and obedience to law than mere book learning.
Most of the boys in this institution have been brought here through the
fault of parents, who have allowed them to be truants from school, idlers
about the streets day and night—and so descending until graduating from
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. 323
the dives and "dumps" to the station-house, "Ref," House of Correction
and then— ?
As has been said to me, "Those words, sir, are the first words of kindness,
of hope, ever spoken to me. I will try to be good." And they have tried,
and while with us have given no trouble, but too often, when discharged,
they find no home as it should be, and are thrown back among their old chums
of the streets, and then again return to us, worse, more hardened in crime
than before.
On Sundays service is held in the morning for the Catholic boys by a
priest, who comes from the city. Rev. Father Kelly, S. J., has been con-
stant in attendance during the past year. In the afternoon Sisters of Mercy
from St. Mary's Hospital attend and take charge of the Sunday School, and
to view the boys while under their care, so quiet and respectful and atten-
tive, it would be almost impossible to believe that they were the hoodlums
who had been the terror of so many parts of the city.
The Protestant boys and all who are not Catholics attend a service in the
morning conducted by one of the teachers, and in the afternoon Sunday
School. Formerly, some interest was taken to send ministers and teachers
but of late we have been wholly neglected, as during the past year but one
Protestant minister has visited us, and that was specially by request to attend
the funeral of one of our boys.
This is much to be regretted, for without religious instruction there will be
no reformation. Where there is no sense of God there will be small sense of
guilt, and without sense of guilt there will be no repentance or better life.
The teacher cannot have the power to interest and instruct the boys as readily
as one who is not brought so much in contact with them, as he is daily. So
I hope that during the coming year we will not have to say so often on Sun-
days: " No one is coming to-day."
Allow me to say one word more. I believe, and my experience of twenty
years with boys (two years in this institution) makes me believe, that these
boys can be reformed. During the past the average for conduct in school
(4% hours daily) is ninety per cent. What school can show better ?
Boys who can so control themselves can be brought to so conduct them-
selves that they will become good men and good citizens.
We want more accommodation, that we may separate the boys into smaller
classes, according to character, etc., and long terms of sentence, that when a
boy has turned into the right path we may help him until he can travel alone.
Give us these, and we ask no more to insure the reformation of the unfortu-
nates sent to this institution.
Respectfully submitted,
JNO. C. ROBINSON,
Principal Teacher.

CORONER'S REPORT.
CORONER'S OFFICE,
SAN FRANCISCO, July 31, 1880.
To the Hon. the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
In compliance with Kesolution No. 14,765 (New Series), passed
by your honorable body, July 6, 1880, requesting a report of the
condition of this Department of the City Government during
fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, I have the honor to submit the
following tables and remarks thereon:
Table No. 1. — The number of deaths reported, autopsies made
and inquests held during each month of the year. It shows that
the total number of deaths reported for investigation was four
hundred and thirty-two (432), an average of thirty-six (36), per
month and in number forty-six (46), more than last year. Au-
topsies were made in one hundred and sixty-nine cases, an
average of about fourteen (14), per month and a decrease of eight
(8), cases from last year. Of inquests there have been held two
hundred and twenty-three (223), about one-half of the cases re-
ported for investigation. This gives an average of over eighteen
(18), per month and an increase of seventeen (17), from last year.
Table No. 2. — The cause of death in each case and the nature
of crime charged, if any. Comparing this table (mortuary table)
with that of last year, we find that there has been but little
change in the number of sudden and unexpected deaths from
natural causes. We would have a definite number of such deaths
in a given population and it is probable that there has been but
little change in the number of inhabitants during the last year.
334 CORONER'S REPOKT.
In Table No. 3 there will be found an analysis of these sud-
den and unexpected deaths from natural causes, and it is inter-
esting from the fact that sufficient disease existed to cause death,
yet but little if any signs were given or known to the friends or
usual medical attendant. A number of these were from brain
lesions difficult to diagnosticate or anticipate. The number of
the forms of pneumonia, the so-called "walking pneumonia/1
where the patient is able to be about until near death, were nu-
merous but about the same as other years. There were other
diseases of the lungs — apoplexy and congestion — but a few, of
course, where consumption was found to have killed, and in
these cases as in many others of death from a disease which may
have been chronic, if the friends or medical attendant had been
known and found, they would not have been considered sudden
or surprising. Disease of heart claims about the usual number,
while aneurism was somewhat less than usual. The only other
cause of death in the list worthy of remark is two deaths from
exposure to cold, which, in this climate, may be astonishing.
These were Chinese fishermen whose boat became unmanageable
and filled with water in the bay, during one of our cold storms
last winter, and they were compelled to remain in the boat until
they died. In the ages of the cases the extremes are found, but
the average (41), may" be considered about the average age at
death from all causes and circumstances in life. The greater
number are found between 45 and 55. In occupation there are
few having trades wnere the powers of endurance for continuous
and prolonged work are tested, the most being of the callings
where but little exertion is required. "Housewives" and "La-
borers" are of course positions where strength is somewhat
tested, but as there is no established price for a day's work in
such positions it is probable the sum paid governed the work
performed to a considerable extent. As regards the nativity of
these cases the most are found to be natives of California, Ger-
many and Ireland. The former are all under five years of age.
In color the negroes are undoubtedly in large proportion to the
number with us. The males are largely in excess, and the single
are considerably so. The proportions to the number in our
midst cannot be stated without consulting the census returns,
now incomplete.
CONTENTS OF TABLES. 335
The number of accidental deaths has increased, but not from
the processes of building and the carrying on of general business,
as there has been a decrease in deaths from "falls" and "run
over by vehicles," but from a large number of deaths caused by
burning and drowning. Three-fifths of the deaths from burning
were Chinese laundry men, and in the circumstances surrounding-
them it was demonstrated that great carelessness existed in their
use of fires and coal oil, while many deaths were the direct re-
sult of the habits of these tradesmen to work nearly all night,
then obtain a few hours rest and sleep by stupefying themselves
with opium, when the flames and death found them easy victims.
The whole city and the lives of its inhabitants are no doubt en-
dangered by allowing these laundries to be located in nearly
every block. The establishing of a Chinese quarter as a guard
against the spread of fires to a people comparatively law abiding*
and careful, is something to hope for. Twenty-one persons were
killed outright during the year by being burned or suffocated in
fire, and one person died from burns received in a fire a few
days before his demise. Of this number eighteen were males
and four females, Chinese fifteen, white seven, adults nineteen,
and children three. All of these lives were lost in six fires.
There is no explanation to make for the remarkable increase
in the number of deaths from drowning, as there has been no-
calamity where more than one death occurred, except in one in-
stance, when three men lost their lives by the capsizing of a
boat. It is perhaps strange we do not have more deaths from
this cause, considering our large water frontage and the amount
of business that requires crossing the Bay. All cases of drown-
ing are not. known, and many known to be drowned are not reck-
oned in this or any other office, as the bodies were not recovered.
So our number is probably far from the facts.
In Table No. 4 will be found an analysis of these accidental
deaths. As regards occupation, it will be seen that laborers,
laundry men and seamen are greatly in excess of other callings.
In nativity, as might be expected from occupation, those born
in Ireland are much the most numerous; then come those born
in this State, and closely following them those of China. Three-
fourths of those born in California were under fifteen years of
336 CORONER'S REPORT.
age. There was but one of the accidental deaths among the
negroes. In sex, about six-sevenths were males. In domestic
condition over four-sevenths were, fortunately, single, while in
twelve of the Chinese it was unascertained. In age, there is
a large number between the ages of thirty-five and forty.
It is very gratifying to be able to say that the deaths from the
careless use of fire-arms were only four — one of them from the
premature discharge of a small cannon and the remaining three
from pistol-shot wounds. Nine accidental deaths resulted in the
year 1878-79 from the use of fire-arms.
Table No. 5 is of the victims of homicide. Perhaps a more
interesting statement could be made of the perpetrators, but the
points for such a report are not furnished by the records of this
office. Of murders there were twenty-one (21), four more than
in 1878-79. This is a large number, but not as large as two
and three years ago, when it was twenty- five and twenty-seven,
respectively. Comparing the number this year with New York
City in 1879, when they had one murder to every 25,000 of the
inhabitants, we find we had one murder to every 11,190 of the
population, or more than double the number we should have
had as compared with the largest city in the United States. Ex-
cluding the Chinese from our calculation — which, perhaps, is a
better test — we have had one murder for every 17,755 inhabi-
tants, still indicating a number much too large. Nine of the
murders were among the Chinese, and, saying that we have about
20,000 Chinese in this city, it would be one for every 2,222. In
all cases of Chinese, excepting one, the murderer was of the
same nationality. The system of professional murderers among
this peculiar people was frequently recognized, and during the
year several of the assassins have evaded detection. These mur-
ders are of the most cowardly and dastardly kind, not one hav-
ing the semblance of manslaughter or justifiable homicide,
generally undertaken for purposes of revenge in money difficul-
ties. Of the victims among the whites, two were wives mur-
dered by their husbands in the most brutal manner. The
remaining nineteen were males, and fifteen of them were single
The pistol and knife were used about an equal number of
times. Three cases of manslaughter occurred daring the year —
CONTENTS OF TABLES. 337
a decrease of two from the preceding year. Of justifiable homi-
cide, there were three cases— an increase of one from 1878-9.
Two of these deaths were* caused by police officers in the lawful
discharge of their duty. Negroes are conspicuous by being ab-
sent from this list.
SUICIDES. — There have been ninety (90) suicides during the year,
only a slight gain from the previous year, when we had eighty-
six (86). This gives us — reckoning, as shown by the late census,
that we have 233,066 inhabitants, one suicide to every 2,589 of
the population. The calculation last year of one for every 3,488
of the population has proven to be markedly erroneous, we not
having by 66,934 the number of people with us that the supposed
most reliable estimates gave. As a definite comparison, New
York City can be instanced. In 1877, that city had one suicide
to every 7,225 of the population, while Paris in 1878 had one
suicide to every 2,676 of the population. The calculation for
New York is taken from the City Record, the official journal.
That for Paris is taken from the Bulletin Eecapitulatif de Statis-
tique Municipale, sent to this office a few months ago. Both of
these sources cannot be questioned, and are the only grounds
for authoritative calculations, while our recent census is sup-
posed to be correct. It must be acknowledged, then, that we
have more than two and one-half times as many suicides as New
York City, and a number excelling Paris, this being in propor-
tion to the number of inhabitants in each of those cities. Our
number of ninety for the year does not include one in Septem-
ber, one in October and two in May, all males, who suicided by
drowning themselves in the Bay, and whose bodies were not re-
covered. They all belonged to this city, and should be em-
braced in our numbers and appear in the report. A record of
the published attempts at suicide has been kept, and it is found
they number fifty (50), fourteen less than last year. Of these,
thirty-four were males and sixteen females, which, as might be
expected, is a large proportion of females as compared with the
relative numbers of those who succeed in suiciding. In four
cases this was the second attempt, in two cases the third attempt
and in one case the fourth attempt; in the remaining forty-three
cases there was nothing published of previous attempts. It
22
338 CORONER'S REPORT.
is well known that many attempts are made that the report of
never reaches the public or press, hidden away, an ugly skeleton
in many a family closet. No doubt, in 'some instances, perhaps
not a few, the act is accomplished, but reported otherwise. A
recent writer on this subject makes the statement that in Europe
the attempts and those successes concealed from the officials
and public would, in his opinion, equal one-half the suicides
officially known. His estimate is not near enough for this com-
munity, where we have published more than that proportion.
It is not unreasonable to expect that in the deaths from un-
known causes among the Chinese and others — of which there
were in 1877, 438 Chinese and 55 of all others, in 1878, 407 Chi-
nese and 39 of all others, and in 1879, 346 Chinese and 39 of all
others — that not a few are concealed cases of suicide, particu-
larly as we know how constantly all but a few of the Chinese use
the deadly opium, yet it is not known to have killed but about
one-half of the known suicides of Chinese during the past year.
Death from unknown causes is not found in the reports of other
cities. If we add the recorded number of suicides (90), the
drowned in the Bay and not recovered (4), to the published at-
tempts (50), we would have the aggregate of 144, or one to every
1,618 of the population of our young city, and this, it must be
remembered, is not counting the unpublished attempts and con-
cealed successes. If we consider, as far as this illustration of
the state of society is concerned, that the attempt is equal to the
accomplishment, in what a deplorable condition we must find
ourselves. Reports from every county in the state have been re-
ceived of the number of suicides during the year 1879, and we
find that there have been recorded 227 in a population estimated
from nearly completed census returns of 862,780. This would
be one suicide to every 3,800 of the inhabitants, a number nearly
doubling that of New York City, as compared with the number
of people. When we examine the reports of the different coun-
ties, and compare the number of suicides with the population,
we find there have been seven counties exceeding San Francisco
in its frequency. They are Alpine, Colusa, El Dorado, Lassen,
Marin, Mono and Sutter, ranging from one in 179 to one in 2,129
of the population. In the counties where they have a population
CONTENTS OF TABLES. 33!)
next to this one, we find in Alameda one in 3,684, in Sacramento
one in 3,016, in Santa Clara one in 5,016, in Sonoma one in
5,169, and in Los Angeles one in 11,130. In thirteen counties
there were no suicides in 1879. In Europe, as a whole, they
have an annual average of one to every 5,000. In Denmark,
where the greatest mortality from suicides of any country in
Europe exists, they have 276 for every million of the population.
In Paris, the rate is six times that of the French country people.
In this city, our rate is a little less than double that of the coun-
try (that is, all outside of San Francisco), where they have one
suicide for every 4,664 of the inhabitants. So it seems that our
suicidal mania is not confined altogether to San Francisco, but
extends to the entire State. While we say that the frequency of
suicides in France is a Parisian eccentricity, in this State we take
in a wider field, and, leaving the metropolis, are obliged to call
it a California monstrosity.
Table No. 6 contains the special particulars of the cases of
suicide during the past year. In nativity nearly two-thirds of
the victims were born out of the United States, and of these
there were 13 each born in Germany, Ireland and China. The
number of Germans has decreased more than one-half as com-
pared with the number of the previous year. In color, we have
no negroes. Of sex, one-sixth of the whole number (the usual
proportion), were females. Nearly one-half were fortunately
single persons. More than five-ninths were supposed or known
to have been educated under Protestant influences, while over
one-sixth of all were Catholics and three of the cases were Jews.
As regards intellect, seven were weak or below the average,
seventy-two were considered only average and nine were above
it. In former attempts, one had made one attempt and four had
made two attempts on their lives before the successful time. In
age, the youngest was 15, the oldest 70, giving an average of
39-J-- By examining the table it will be seen that the most have
occurred between the ages of 25 to 30 and 50 to 55. If it was
known how many of each age were among us, it would probably
be found that there are more old persons committing suicide in
proportion to the number with us, it being the case in other
cities. This table gives the nativities by ages, also the means by
340 CORONER'S REPORT.
ages. By the latter it is observed that the two youngest, from
15 to '20, used the pistol as a means, while the oldest used a
knife. In a continuation of this table will be found a list of na-
tivity by means used. Nine -chose death by drowning, two of
whom were Chinese. Eleven by hanging, five of whom were
Chinese and two were Frenchmen. Six of the ninety used
the knife, four of the number selecting the throat as the
point of attack. The pistol was used in about one-third of the
cases, nearly all of these selecting the head One Chinaman
shot himself in the abdomen, and this is the only one on record
in this office for many years, if ever, who, among the Chinese,
has used the pistol for such a purpose. Thirty-four of all de-
cided on poison as a means, twenty of them using preparations
of opium. Five took strychnia. In the table of occupation we
find, as we would expect, that housewives and laborers have the
largest numbers. Then follow clerks and speculators. The un-
known and no occupation have a large number. At this time it
is impossible to say how these numbers compare to the numbers
with us. Of domestic condition, thirty-six, or somewhat more
than a third, had no relatives in the State, as far as known;
twenty left wives and eleven left children in this State, to strug-
gle on in life as best they may, or to receive the cold charity of
the multitude, cowardly deserting them, while in most cases of a
perfectly sane mind and in the moments of greatest need, when
their strong arms could be of the most use to those they should
love best, and live and suffer for, if necessary. Nine of the sui-
cides left husbands, and two of these females left children.
In the predisposing causes, 30 were for pecuniary difficulties.
Of these 6 were from gambling in mining stocks and 15 simply
the want of means to live on. In 6 cases domestic unhappiness
was the cause. After having committed a crime claims 6. The
excessive use of alcohol is given in 13 cases. Unsoundness of
mind was found to be conducive in one case, and positive insan-
ity in two instances. Physical suffering was claimed as the cause
in 4 subjects, while an incurable disease, which in every person
was the truth, was the ascribed cause in 13 cases.
In the immediate causes, stock gambling has but one victim,
and purely want* of means has thirty-one. Domestic unhappi-
CONTENTS OF TABLES. 341
ness has five, equally divided in the sex of the persons married.
Homesickness has one only. Fears of various results, real and
imaginary, caused eleven to take their lives. King Alcohol claims
fifteen victims. An unsound mind was the cause in five cases
and insanity in two. Physical suffering was the cause in seven
cases, and in six instances a reasonable cause was not ascertained.
In looking over these circumstances supposed and known to ex-
ist at the time the rash act was perpetrated, it is very difficult to
consider them in any way justifiable, but there are many instan-
ces, where, in the opinion of many thinking people, the act might
be considered excusable under the circumstances. Granting
that those suffering from the acute or chronic effects of alcohol,
one in an extreme state of anger, those poorest of unfortunates
who are called on to endure great physical suffering and those
from chronic incurable disease might be added to the number of
unsound mind and insanity, and in charity including the six
cases where no known cause was ascertained, it would take
thirty-six cases away from the total of ninety, -leaving fifty-four
cases to be accounted for. The various fears, remorse, grief,
homesickness and love disappointments might be said by some
to be excusable and sufficient reasons for taking one's life. This
would take off twenty more and leave thirty-four to explain away.
The only causes we have left are business disappointments and a
simple want of means, and it is to these that the crime of moral
cowardice can be justly attributed. A recent English writer in
Blackwood's Magazine, says, in relation to suicide: " We of to-
" day have learned to see it not only a monstrous self-indulgence
" but also an atrocious crime and an idiotic cowardice. We deny
" its pretensions to be a grasp at peace and a declaration of lib-
" erty; we proclaim it to be a grasp at the unknown and a dec-
" laration of revolt."
Illustrations of the cowardice of suicides are frequently seen
in this office. It is only necessary for me to give the particulars
of one. S, a healthy, strong able bodied man had risen from a
day laborer to a contractor and had considerable success. Times
becoming dull, he, anticipating financial ruin in the future, made
the remark that rather than return to work as a laborer he would
kill himself. He did so early one morning, leaving his feeble
CORONERS REPORT.
wife and several small children to struggle on in poverty. Will
anyone -say that if this man had not succeeded he should not
have been punished ? The law of England is somewhat incon-
sistent. It says suicide is murder, but the attempt to commit it
is only a misdemeanor.
The English author whom I have quoted above also says, that :
" The revival of suicide has almost exactly coincided in time with
" the modern extension of schooling, and is found most abund-
" ant in the regions in which schooling is most expanded." He
denies that climate has anything to do with causing suicides, yet
he states that in Algeria, where many French soldiers are sta-
tioned, and kill themselves from homesickness, it has been re-
marked that the moment ordinarily chosen \>j them for the
purpose is when the irritating south wind blows. It will be re
membered that there are more suicides in this city during the
months of April, May, June and July, when our irritating winds
blow the hardest.
Table No. 7. — Number of suicides during each month for
eighteen years. The addition of the last year makes no relative
change.
Table No. 8 consists of the bodies recovered from the bay of
San Francisco, where the cause of death was not known. It
embraces ten males, all white. Decomposition was advanced in
these cases.
Table No. 9. — Report of unknown dead and those of doubtful
identity. During the past year the bodies of seven white male
adults, one white female infant and one Chinese female infant
were unidentified.
Table No. 10. — Schedule showing property found with or upon
deceased persons and the disposition of the same. It shows the
receipt of $16,389 25 in money, besides mining stocks, jewelry,
papers and articles of value received and disposed of as the law
directs.
Table No. 11. — Expenses incurred in the prosecution of the
duties of the office.
CONTENTS OF TABLES. 343
In suits against the Sheriff, fees have been collected and paid
over to the City and County Treasurer, in accordance with law,
amounting to two hundred and ten dollars and forty cents
($210 40).
In conclusion, I beg leave to tender my thanks to Deputy
Coroners Wheeler and Hamilton, and to Messenger Smith, for
faithful performance of their several duties; also, to ex-Police
Surgeon Stivers, Police Surgeon Clarke and City Physician
Blach, for the careful manner of making autopsies during the
last year. I am under obligations to ex-Chief of Police Kirk-
patrick, Chief of Police Crowley and the police force, ex-Sheriff
Nunan, Sheriff Desmond and Deputies, for timely assistance in
the discharge of my official duties, and to the public press for
advertisement of the description of unknown dead and those of
questionable identity. I am also under obligations to your Hon-
orable Body for furnishing all means and facilities requested for
properly conducting this office.
Very respectfully,
L. L. DOEE, M. D.,
Coroner.

HEALTH OFFICER REPORT.
"
-
GENTLEMEN — I have the honor to transmit my 'report of the
affairs of this office, including mortuary and other statistics, for
fiscal year terminating June 30, 1880.
During the year there were 4,340 deaths against 4,493 of the
year preceding, a decrease of 153.
Our population, ,last year was estimated (Langley's Directory)
The annual ratio of deaths per 1,000 population was 14.75.
- year shows our population to be by actual
count 233,700, to that notwithstanding the decrease in the num-
ber of deaths, the ratio per 1,000 population is increased from
14.7" ne can belie IT population has de-
creased 72,000 in 12 months. If the census as taken by the U.
jverninent is correct then our population has undoubtedly
beeL ji several years. This over estimating the
population of cities, whether intentionally or unintentionally,
causes much embarrassment and lessei .uch the value of
Tital and mortuary statistics.
our population at 233>700 the annual ratio of deaths
per 1,000 is 1 Bating the Chinese population (T
ccnfcu _- annual ratio of deaths per 1,000 : - __
Estimating the population of all other nationalities at 211,700
.--.- annual ratio of deaths per 1,000 is 18.29, thus
showing that there are nearly (3) three deaths in a thousand more
414 HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT.
among the Chinese than other nationalities. Notwithstanding
the Chinese population is composed almost entirely of adults,
while more than one-third of the deaths in other nationalities are
under five years of age.
Considering the miserable condition of our sewers and the
presence in the very heart of our city of more than 20,000 Chi
nese who live for the most part in underground habitations with-
out any proper ventilation, breathing an atmosphere so contami-
nated as to be absolutely nauseating to those unaccustomed to
it, we have much to be thankful for in estimating our ratio of
mortality. Protected, as we are, by the presence of our trade
winds and the general salubrity of our climate, it is to be feared,
that only a repetition of virulent epidemics will awaken our
people to the necessity of removing these constantly menacing
causes of disease.
I have over and over again urged the enforcement of the cubic
air law as the only possible means of correcting the sanitary evils
of the Chinese quarter.
By constant vigilance many nuisances are abated and a great
deal of money expended to make this portion of the city even
tolerable, but so long as these people are permitted to live as at
present in over crowded dens, socially, morally and in a sanitary
point of view they are a curse to San Francisco . The daily en-
forcement of the cubic air law would compel many of these
people to leave the city or live in less crowded quarters.
In my reports heretofore made to the Hon . Board of Super-
visors, I have so fully discussed the subject of sewerage, that I
have nothing further to recommend and can only refer you to
those reports, hoping that they may lead to some beneficial leg-
islation upon the subject.
I desire, however, to repeat what I have said about the neces-
sity of thorough ventilation of sewers, because of its great
sanitary importance . All intelligent sanitarians know that any
system of sewerage without thorough ventilation is a most fruit-
ful source of disease.
The most inexpensive and, in my opinion, the most practical
and effective way of ventilating sewers is to have perforated
EEMARKS. 415
instead of solid manhole covers, or what would be still better,
open grates.
In my report three years ago, where this subject is more fully
discussed, I stated that the experience of other cities demon-
strated that if these manholes are placed at proper distances,
admitting a free circulation of atmospheric air, the foul and
noxious vapors are so entirely diluted as to render them not only
inodorous but comparatively harmless. The sewers of London
are ventilated by gratings placed at intervals of 100 feet, The
sewers of Paris being under the sidewalks are ventilated through
the gutters. The reduction of the death rate of London in a
few years from 37J in 1000 population to about 23 is probably
more due to the thorough ventilation of its sewers than all
other causes combined. In further verification of these views, I
desire to call your attention to the construction of the Geary
street cable railroad.
The engineer under whose supervision this road was con-
structed found it necessary for purposes of drainage to connect
the tubes through which the cable runs with the sewer in the
street, by cement pipes four inches in diameter. These pipes are
placed at intervals of forty feet, and so thorough does the venti-
lation seem to be that no complaint has been made of any offen-
sive odors from this sewer since the construction of this road.
Speaking from a sanitary stand point, I believe Geary street to
be the most desirable thoroughfare to live on in the city. The
offensive and mephitic vapors which, under certain degrees of
pressure, penetrate the dwellings of other streets of the city,
here escape into the open air in' a form so diluted as to be both
inodorous and innoxious.
A few ounces of alcohol given to a child a few months old
might take its life, yet if thrown into as many hogsheads of
water and thus diluted, the same quantity of this mixture taken
by the child would be entirely harmless.
It has been estimated that the manhole covers in this city
could be properly perforated for a little more than $3,000.
In proportion to the good to be attained the amount to be
expended is certainly very insignificant.
416 HEALTH OFFICEK'S KEPORT.
The valuable tables accompanying this report attest the intel-
ligence and industry of the secretaries' who prepared them.
The accompanying reports of the Market and Sanitary Inspect-
ors are the best evidence of the fidelity with which their duties
are performed.
Our mortuary report I believe to be absolutely correct. I re-
gret to say that our registration of births is still very unsatisfac-
tory, in consequence of many physicians, through carelessness
or inadvertence, neglecting to make returns to this office as
required by law.
The record of marriages furnished by our County Clerk,
who issues the licenses, is also believed to be absolutely correct.
The report of the Secretary shows that the expenses of this
office are a mere fraction of the amount expended by our city
government.
Very Respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
J. L. MEAEES, M. D.,
Health Officer, City and County of San Francisco.

CITY PHYSICIANS REPORT.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 31, 1880.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — In presenting this, my Fourth Annual Report, in
compliance with Resolution No. 14,765 (New Series), I desire to
make a few remarks in regard to the institutions placed by the
Honorable Board of Health uuder my charge.
The County Jail is entirely inadequate to its needs, not having
capacity sufficient for the proper and healthful placement of its
inmates; thus, as ynu see, impairing their general health, and in
consequence causing an extra expense upon the city for medi-
cines, which otherwise could be avoided.
Through the courtesy of the Sheriff, Thomas Desmond, a suit-
able room has been set aside for hospital purposes, and has been
furnished by your Honorable Board; thus in a measure enabling
me to provide against epidemics, as well as establishing better
facilities in the treatment of acute cases. So far, there have
been no epidemical diseases in the County Jail, excepting one
case of Small Pox (Variola), which was immediately removed to
the Twenty-sixth Street Hospital. The Jail has been thoroughly
fumigated, and all of the inmates have been vaccinated. Credit
is due to the officers of the Jail for the cleanliness of this Insti-
tution, to which the good health of the inmates is partially at-
tributable.
The House of Correction, both in point of management and
484 CITY PHYSICIAN'S KEPOKT.
construction, is the best prison Institution which the City has
under its charge . The general health of the inmates during the
past year has been uniformly good. Nearly all of the cases
treated have been prisoners, who had contracted diseases else-
where, and came under my treatment when they were admitted
to this Institution The Superintendent, A. W. Prevost, to-
gether with the employees, deserve the highest commendation
for the good and hygienic condition of the Institution and the
prisoners.
The City Ileceiving Hospital, located in the basement of the
Old City Hall, is more immediately under the charge of the As-
sistant City Physician, and you will see by his report that it is the
receptacle of the numerous accidents and injuries occurring in
this city. It has been enlarged during the past year, and to a
certain extent refurnished by the action of your Honorable
Board. Still it is inadequate for the work performed and for the
accommodation of its patients. The Hospital comprises three (3)
small rooms (not including the operating room), having a ca-
pacity of six (6) beds, and often, as in the event of serious acci-
dents (such as fires, falling buildings, etc.) we have been only
able to give the patients a mattress on the floor. The ventilation,
at best, is bad, and wThen the Hospital is so overcrowded it be-
comes almost unbearable . As the City increases in population,
new streets being opened, new railroads being built, etc., surgi-
cal accidents must necessarily increase in number, and therefore
better accommodations should be provided. In no sense, is this
a Prison Hospital, the greater share of patients being citizens
meeting with accidents in their daily avocation or business.
Credit is due to your Honorable Board (especially to the
Chairmafh of Health and Police) for the prompt compliance with
my requests and needs. Also to Dr. C. A. Stivers, late Assistant
City Physician and Police Surgeon, as well as to the present in-
cumbent, J. J. Clarke, M. D., for the diligent and faithful per-
formance of their duties.
A tabulated statement of autopsies made from July 1, 1879,
until May 31, 1880, (11 months) has been furnished by C. A.
Stivers, M. D., and for the month of June, 1880, by J. J. Clarke,
M.D., at my request, which you will see annexed.

HOSPITAL REPORT.
CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL, )
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 1880. \
'lo the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — I have the honor to make the accompanying
annual report of the City and County Hospitel for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1880.
On my taking charge of the Hospital I was urged by members
of the Honorable Board of Health to place the same on a par
with the other public institutions under their control. I found
the administrative department had not been whitened and
painted for five years; the quarters for the employees were in a
most reprehensible condition, the walls and woodwork nob
having been cleaned for ten years; the wards had not been
whitened for three years, nor had any portion of the interior
been repainted since the erection of the Hospital. It requiried
the labor of seven men, continuously, painting and whitening
for four months before the institution could be considered in a
fair presentable condition. With the exception of nominal
wages to an expert, as director of the labor, the entire work was
voluntarily performed by the patients in a manner creditable
to any mechanic. The Hospital roof was iu a most faulty con-
dition, leaking and destroying the ceiling in many of the wards,
the water closets, sinks, floors, doorsills, basement apaartments,
beds and bedding — in fine, the entire appurtenances were in a
496 HOSPITAL REPORT
most reduced and dilapidated state. For want of timely repairs
the oven Lad caved in and had to be rebuilt; the kitchen ranges,
boilers, heaters, grates for all the furnaces and fireplaces had to
be renewed, requiring a large amount of funds to repair and
replace them. Furniture, crockery, tableware and linen of all
kinds, were reduced to the lowest limit, originating complaints
from the attachees continually. Most of the sashcords, window
curtains and cords had to be renewed, at an outlay of means that
would have saved the sum of $422 per month the past five
months, had the building been kept in ordinary repair.
By the kind co-operation of your Hospital Committee the
institution is again in proper condition to reflect credit to their
active management, and equal to its state when first erected.
I would respectfully call the attention of your honorable
Board to the urgent necessity of supplying the Laundry with a
suitable washer and wringer. A similar one as used at the Alms
House would supply our wants and eventuate in a large saving
to the Hospital. A new pump is likewise needed at the engine
room; the present one being so old as not to admit of further
repair.
The payroll has been reduced from forty-three employees, at
a monthly expenditure of $2,208, under its former manage-
ment, to thirty-nine assistants, and a monthly payment of $2,057;
an annual saving of $1,812.
A close supervision of the requisition for drugs, liquors, etc.,
has resulted in the saving in the Apothecary's Department, the
past fiscal year, of $1,953 54; a sum nearly sufficient to pay for
the repairs of the Hospital.
The Visiting Physicians and Surgeons are entitled to the
warmest thanks of the public for their efficient and kindly aid to
the suffering poor. To Dr. H. W. Boone, the Kesident Physi-
cian, I have many commendations for his courteous demeanor
and active professional attention to all the duties of his position.
All the officers have vied with each other in personally supervis-
ing their respective departments in a most efficient manner.
Yours respectfully,
ISAAC S. TITUS, M. D.,
Superintendent Physician City and County Hospital.

REPORT
OF THE
KEEPER OF THE CITY CEMETERY.
SAN -FRANCISCO, July 26, 1880.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — In accordance with resolution of your Honorable
Body (No. 14,765 New Series) I beg leave to report, that for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, there have been interred in the
City Cemetery, of the indigent dead3 four hundred and twenty-four
(424), of which six (6) were of African extraction, and fourteen
(14) were natives of China.
Of the several societies to whom your Honorable Body have
donated burial plots there have been interred —
From the Six Chinese Companies 475
French Mutual Benevolent Society 19
Beth Olam .* 9
Ked Men 2
Italians , 2
Christian Chinese . . 5
512
Making the total interments for the year nine hundred and thirt}r-six (936).
Total disinterments for the year seventeen (17).
CITY CEMETEKY. 533
There has been expended for 250 head and foot boards $162 50
For building shed and repairs to Keeper's house 112 50
Curbing water well .• . 150 00
Total $425 00
The French Benevolent Society have improved their plat by
proper fencing, constructing a receiving vault, a water well and
windmill pump.
The German Benevolent Society and the Red Men have fenced
their plats in accordance with their grants, and the Scandinavian
Society are enclosing their grounds in like manner.
I would beg leave to suggest that the several sections set
apart for the indigent dead, to wit: Nos. 2, 5, 8, 10 and 11, be
properly fenced, as the surveyor's stakes now marking their
boundaries are liable to be misplaced or covered with sand by
the prevailing winds; I believe it would be economy to fence
immediately and save the possible cost of another survey.
I would most respectfully beg leave to call your attention to
the necessity of improving the main avenue by macadamizing —
a comparatively inexpensive work, as at the entrance of the
Cemetery on city property there is a quarry of proper rock for
the purpose. As the avenue now is, it is with difficulty that
man or horse can pull through it.
Should your Honorable Body order the work to be done it
would be an incentive for the several societies to improve the
roads to and about their respective grounds.
The rail fence surrounding the Cemetery should be recon-
structed. Most of the posts are rotten at the base, and almost
every windy day it becomes necessary to repair. About the
outside expense would be the cost of new posts and labor.
Very respectfully,
A. P. STANYAN,
Keeper City Cemetery.

From the foregoing statistics and comparison with former An-
nual Keports, it will be seen that the number of inmates at the
City and County Alms House is steadily increasing from year to
year; the daily average number for 1879 and '80, having been
555. This is a daily average of 74 more than for the preceding
year.
Owing to this large increase of numbers, and to extensive im-
provements made on the premises, the aggregate expense of the
institution has been something in excess of the preceding year,
while the per capita expense of inmates has been $10 per annum
less. This result has only been accomplished by watchful econ-
omy, while at the same time the inmates have been clothed and
fed as well or better -than ever.
During the year I have raised and added one story to the hos-
pital of the institution, which will afford accommodation for
about sixty additional inmates. This improvement has been no
expense to the city and county beyond the amount paid for neces-
sary material, the labor having been performed by the carpenter
of the House, assisted by inmates. This addition, while afford-
ing temporary relief from overcrowding, is far from being ade-
quate to the wants of the institution, as the rainy season is sure
to bring a large influx of applicants for admission, which will tax
our ingenuity to suitably provide for. Last winter the house
was so full that I found it necessary to place quite a number of
beds in the cellar, which, owing to dampness and want of proper
542 ALMS HOUSE BEPORT.
ventilation, is unfit for human occupancy. As the number of in-
mates has increased in the past, so most certainly will such be
the case for the future.
In this connection it must be borne in mind that thirty years
ago, when our State was becoming settled, all who sought its
shores were men still young or in the prime of life; all of these
who survive are now old, and many of them, either through im-
providence or misfortune, are driven by necessity to seek the
shelter of the Alrnshouse. In view of these facts and the pru-
dence of a total separation of the sexes, I would respectfully
suggest to your honorable Board the urgent necessity for in-
creasing the facilities of the institution by the erection of a sep-
arate building for women and children.
With the added experience of another year, I must again
strenuously urge the justice and propriety of the State substan-
tially assisting in defraying the expenses of the Almshouse, as
nearly one-half of those who become inmates of the institution
have no just claim on the taxpayers of the City and County of
San Francisco. Many destitute persons are sent here who have
spent the best part of their lives in other portions of the State,
having been in the city only a few days, and in some cases only
a few hours. All such should in simple justice be provided for
by the State at large or by the county of which they are in re-
ality residents.
By judicious selection of seed and rotation of crops we have
this year succeeded in raising and securing first class crops of
hay and potatoes, especially the latter, the quality of which can-
not be excelled. The farm has also produced an abundant sup-
ply of milk and vegetables, as well as a large portion of the
butter used in the institution.
Our live stock has also done well, having increased consider-
ably in numbers, besides what has been sold and the amount of
$452.50 paid into the City and County Treasury.
Embodied in the foregoing report will be found a brief state-
ment of the affairs of the institution, with details of the opera-
tions of the different departments, showing the product of the
labor of the inmates, etc.

joyed the comforts of a home provided for them by the generos-

All of which is respectfully submitted,

ASSESSOR'S REPORT.
ASSESSOR'S OFFICE, )
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 1880. j
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
q/ the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — In compliance with your Resolution No. 13,700
(New Series), I herewith submit my Annual Report as City and
County Assessor for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880.
In accordance with the requirements of the law, I had the
honor to deliver to your Honorable Body, the Assessment Roll
of Personal Property, contained in sixteen (16) volumes, amount-
ing to eighty-seven millions eight hundred and ninety-six
thousand dollars ($87,896,000.)
On the third Monday of July, I also delivered to you the Real
Estate Roll, contained in fifty-two volumes (52), and including
improvements amounting to one hundred and sixty-four millions
nine hundred and thirty-nine thousand six hundred and four
($164,939,604). I also had the honor to deliver to your Honor-
able Body two (2) volumes of assessments for opening Mont-
gomery Avenue; one volume containing assessments for the
payment of principal and interest on Dupont Street Bonds; four
(4) volumes of Alphabetical Index, and twenty-four (24) volumes
of Block Books containing maps of all the Real Estate of the city
and county of San Francisco.
Under the operations of the new Revenue Laws, and the taxa-
tion of mortgages, the work of this office has more than doubled.
548 ASSESSOR'S EEPOET.
While the assessment on Personal Property shows a great in-
crease over last year, the Eeal Estate Eoll shows a slight decline,
principally in outside lands.
I am fully convinced that the taxpayers of this city and
county are assessed much higher in proportion than in the ma-
jority of the counties of the State, San Francisco paying nearly
one-half of the taxes of the State.
In a few of the interior counties, property has been assessed
at about the same ratio as in this city and county, but the great
majority are from ten to fifty per cent, lower. This is an injus-
tice which I trust the State Board of Equalization will remedy,
•either by a general increase in the interior counties, or by a
marked decrease in the assessed values in this city and county.
In making the assessment on Real and Personal Property I
have pursued a conservative course, avoiding, as far a possible,
inequality or injustice. The greatest possible care and attention
has been bestowed on the Real and Personal Property assess-
ments, by experienced and competent deputies, and the Boll
just completed I believe to be as free from errors as human
agency can make it.
I shall ask the State Board of Equalization to examine both
the Beal and Personal Boll, with a view of arriving at a more
perfect system of assessment, if it shall be in the range of pos-
sibilities.
The expenses of this office for the past year amount to $146,-
087.45. This increase over the expense of the previous year
was occasioned by the great additional labor of assessing mort-
gages, a portion of my clerical force being compelled to work
by night, that the books might be ready on the day appointed
by law to turn them over .
All of which is respectfully submitted,
ALEXANDEE BADLAM,
City and County Assessor.

604 COUNTY CLERK'S REPORT.
COMPARISON WITH PAST YEARS :
1872-73 with only eight Courts $6,481 23 deficit
1873-74 with only eight Courts 14,603 54 deficit
1874-75 with only eight Courts ... 7,821 08 deficit
1875-76 with only eight Courts 10,700 64 deficit
1876-77 with only eight Courts 5,774 19 deficit
1877-78 with only nine Courts 16,849 45 deficit
1878-79 with only ten Courts 15,963 41 deficit
The difference between the deficit of this year and previous
years is owing to the increased number of Courts, the transfer
of the entire business and the tremendous volume of criminal
actions from which no revenue whatever is received and the
principal fact that the receipts of this office the past year from
civil actions, has been $10,611.50 less than that of the past fiscal
year as per report of Thos. H. Reynolds, June 30, 1879.
In presenting this Report, the undersigned the present County
Clerk, desires in justice to his administration to herein state that
this report under the law embraces receipts and expenditures
from July 1, 1879, to July 1, 1880.
The present term of office commenced last December. The
expense of preparing for the great change in the manner of
keeping the records of the office required by the adoption of the
New Constitution and transferring the business of the ten old
Courts (District) to the Superior Court, were of such magnitude
as to swell the yearly expenses of the office to figures far be-
yond its receipts.
The cost of transferring, printing new blanks, books and sup-
plies which were indispensible, to carry out the demands of the
New Constitution, were, by actual estimates made from the Au-
ditor's office, between fourteen and fifteen thousand dollars.
The amount for stationery printing is unusually large on ac-
count of said reason, and the expenses of the office are apparently
increased from the reason that materials ordered by the Superior
Judges direct, amounting to $4,000, and which were necessary
for properly conducting their office, have been charged to the
County Clerk's office direct.
This embraces a large number of law books.
REMARKS. 605
The expenses for clerical labor have been very heavy for rea-
sons given herein. The present force were all authorized by
Statute and after a careful recommendation by the Superior
Judges.
The records of all Declarations and Certificates of Naturaliza-
tion, since San Francisco became a city, have been duplicated.
They are embraced in over 100 volumes and number 90,000
pages.
This work was performed in order to preserve a complete list
of all naturalizations in duplicate in case of loss of original by
fire or other cause. The old records were in poor condition and
the duplicates, properly certified to under seal, will be deposited
in one of the fire-proof vaults of the New City Hall.
This work has been performed by lady copyists and although
it has taken months to perform the same and at considerable
cost, it was an absolute necessity and was performed after proper
consultation with and under the authorization of the Supervisors
and the Hon. presiding Judge, the late W. P. Daingerfield.
The expenses of the office should be met by proper fee bill.
There is no reason why this office should not be self-supporting.
The fees as charged at present are simply ridiculous. No differ-
ence is made in the value of an estate in the Probate Court.
Estates worth millions, such as the Hopkins and O'Brien estates,
are administered upon under the present charges for from $11 to
$13 Court charges, while the small property left by the husband
in the shape of an encumbered homestead for the wife must pay
the same to the Court. A proper bill should be presented to the
Legislature at the next session. It has been deemed a necessity
by the Judges, the expert of the Board of Supervisors, and it is
the only way in which this office can be self-sustaining.
The immense volume of criminal business engaging the ex-
clusive attention of two departments of our Superior Court at
an estimated cost the past year of twelve thousand dollars
charged against this office, has never been equalled in this city .
The immense labor performed cannot, owing to its character,
yield any income to the city and the charges on suits, estates,
etc., in other Courts should be so increased as to cause this
office to be at least self-sus.taining as in New York and other
Eastern cities.
606 COUNTY CLEEK'S REPORT.
The receipts of this office have not sustained the same since
1869.
An examination of the entire office as to its financial showing
has been made by Solon Pattee, Esq., Examiner for your Hon.
Board and his report will probably be in your hands before
this is submitted.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. A. STUART,
County Clerk.

REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN- -1 11 accordance with Resolution of your Honorable
Board No. 14,765 (New Series), the Park Commissioners present
their report of the management of the Parks and Avenue for
the year ending June 30, 1880.
The receipts together with the balance carried from the last
fiscal year aggregate the sum of sixty thousand six hundred and
twenty-one and 02-100 dollars ($60,621.02). The disbursements
amount to fifty-three thousand one hundred and three and 39-
100 dollars ($53,103.39), leaving a balance on hand of seven
thousand five hundred and seventeen and 63-100 dollars ($7,-
517.63).
The sum of thirteen thousand three hundred and eighty-nine
dollars ($13,389), was deposited in the Nevada Bank to the credit
of the Park Commissioners by Mr. David Bush, of this city,
being contributions by many citizens to what was called "The
Bush Labor Fund" for the purpose of affording employment to
persons in needy circumstances . This fund was utilized to the
best advantage and with its aid several important and requisite
PAKE COMMISSIONER'S REPORT. 615
improvements were made, among the most prominent of which
are the drive or carriage approach to the Conservatory; the
leveling of the hillocks in front of the Conservatory thus prepar-
ing the ground for a lawn and also affording a fine view of the
structure from the main drive; the drive up to the summit of
Buena Yista Park from which point an admirable view of the
ocean, bay and surrounding country can be had. Drives and
walks were constructed, drives re-macadamized, sheds and out-
houses built, grounds prepared, lawns made, tree plantations
and flowering beds extended and other work accomplished dur-
ing the year, all of which will more fully appear by reference to
Exhibit CCA" wherein will be found in detail the receipts and
expenditures.
Attention is called to Exhibits "A" to "F" inclusive. The
total number of visitors to the Park during the past year was
983,164, an increase of 279,609 over the preceding year.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS McLANE, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE
SAN FRANCISCO FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
SAN FRANCISCO FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY,
July 5, 1880.
To the Eon. the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — The Board of Trustees of the San Francisco Free
Public Library respectfully present their second Annual Keport
upon the condition and transactions of the library for the year
ending June 30, 1880.
A statement of the receipts and disbursements of money dur-
ing the year, duly made and verified by the Secretary, is ap-
pended to the report.
The condition of the library is, in general, satisfactory. Hav-
ing been closed to be arranged for such purpose, it is now in
readiness to be opened for circulation, nearly all the books being
in place on the shelves, and catalogues having been prepared for
public use. On the first day of the current month it was re-
opened as a reading rocm, and on the 19th, will be declared a
circulating library.

626 BEPOKT OF THE
The money appropriated by your Honorable Body for the fiscal
year amounted to $48,000 — less whatever deduction may have
finally to be made on account of delinquent taxes — for the Li-
brarjr Fund; of which there has been expended as follows:
For books and periodicals $20,097 73
For salaries 7,841 70
For general expenses 10,675 61
The number of volumes in the library has more than tripled,
being now, as appears by the accession book 20,548, against
6,162 reported a year ago, These totals do not include a small
number of unbound volumes and parts of volumes of periodi-
cals and serials. The number of volumes added during the past
year is thus 14,386, of which 1,066 were gifts, the remainder
having been purchased.

The most valuable gift received was from Hon. Morris M.
Estee, who presented forty-one volumes of the Sacramento
Daily Union newspaper, covering the period from February,
1856, to December, 1874.
Although no books have yet been circulated outside the library,
their use in the reading room has been constant and extensive.
The average of visitors, not including those to the newspaper
gallery, has been not less than 650 daily, and the daily issues of
books have varied in different months from an average of 400 to
one of 900 volumes. Various circumstances have prevented the
completion of the records of the year's reading, but it has
plainly appeared that the percentage read of books of a solid
and improving character has been much greater than is usual in
free public libraries.
Mr. Albert Hart, the first Librarian of the Institution, re-
signed in November, 1879. On December 9, following, Mr. C.
H . Robinson was appointed to the place, and resigned on June
1, 1880. On June 29, Mr. F. B. Perkins, long connected with
the Boston Public Library, was elected Librarian.
The recent Legislature passed "An Act to establish free pub-
lic libraries and reading rooms," repealing the law under which
the library was founded. The new law went into effect May 1,
1880, and under its provisions His Excellency, Gov. George C.
Perkins, appointed the present Board of Trustees.
The electric light, which was placed in the library beginning
with February, 1880, has proved moderately satisfactory, al-
though, since the fire which burned down the Company's works
it has not done so well as before. Its efficiency has not thus far
seemed so certain and steady as to justify the entire disuse of
gas. When the electric light has been successfully operated, it
has been found much cheaper than gas, costing the library only
$100 a month, whereas our last gas bill before putting in the
electric light was $258.
While not so much as was wished and hoped has, up to this
date, been accomplished in the work of establishing the Free
628 REPORT OF THE
Public Library, the Trustees believe that a sound foundation has
been laid for an Institution which may continue to ba increas-
ingly creditable and useful to our city for an unlimited future.
Certainly the eager and incessant resort to it of citizens of all
classes and conditions proves that the library meets, and, in some
measure supplies, a distinct popular want.
Your attention is respectfully directed to the evident necessity
of considering during the current year the best method of pro-
viding for the preservation of this valuable portion of the
property of the city, and of meeting the inevitable and just de-
mands of its natural growth. Pacific Hall, in which the library
is now arranged, was selected in the first instance by the Trus-
tees because it was the most available and economical place, con-
venient of access and commodious, that could be secured at the
time. It is well lighted and ventilated, and of such solidity of
structure that no danger will result to life or limb, whatever
weight of books and visitors may press upon its floors . But it
was then and now is considered to be fitted only for a temporary
shelter for the library during the period of its early growth.
With that view most of the furniture and all of the shelving
has been made readily portable, and the lease was taken for one
year only with the privliege of two years' extension . The first
year expired on April 20, 1880 .
Neither by original design, nor capacity, nor by possibilities of
re-arrangement, is the hall adapted to the wants of the library
in the near future. And, apart from such consideration, the
question of fire and ^insurance has, from the beginning been, a
serious one with the Trustees. It was with their full knowledge,
and after deliberation, that the beginning was made in rooms
that constitute a portion of a theater, liable to destruction b;y fire
at all times, and insurance upon which is always rated as extra
hazardous. That was the best that could be done at the time,
the many advantages of the hall recommending it in spite of this
grave disadvantage. Insurance is now carried on the library
property to the amount of $25,000, and has cost — the premium
paid being 2J to 2J per cent. — $802.50 for the current year and
until June 21, 1881. If a proper building were provided for
FEEE PUBLIC LIBEAHY. 629
the library upon some public square of the city, the need of in-
surance would cease, and the advantages of such an institution
would be realized more completely, and would be better apprecia-
ted by the public than is now possible.
By direction of the Board,
LAUREN E. CRANE,
Secretary.

632 EEPOKT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH
OF THE VARIOUS
PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF SAN FRANCISCO
[Reprinted from the Report of ex-Superintendent James Denman for 1875, with only such corrections
and additions as are called for by the progress of events.]
BOYS HIGH SCHOOL.
This school is now in a large twelve-class building, pleasantly located on
Sutter street, between Gough and Octavia streets . It was formally dedicated
on the 15th of November, 1875.
The school now numbers two hundred and fifty-one pupils. It was first
instituted on the 16th of August, 1856, in Dr. Boring's Church, on Powell
street, between Clay and Sacramento streets. At first the school was opened
as a Union Grammar School, and consisted of 80 pupils, 35 boys and 45
girls, selected from the most advanced pupils of the first classes of the Gram-
mar Schools. On the 8th of January, 1858, it was reorganized as the San
Francisco High School, with a more extended course of study.
The Board of Education purchased the old church and lot referred to
above, and in 1860 remodeled and enlarged the building. It was formally
dedicated on the 19th of September, 1860, with interesting ceremonies, by
Rev. T. Starr King and others. In June, 1864, the sexes were separated,
and the young lad'es were transferred to the old brick building, corner of
Stockton and Bush streets, with Mr. Holmes, the Principal.
The school was reorganized as a Boys' High School in 1864. It remained
in the building on Powell street till the 9th of November, 1875, when it was
transferred to its present building.
The following teachers have been Principals of this school:
Mr. E. H. Holmes, elected August 16, 1856.
Mr. Geo. W. Minns, elected June, 1864.
Mr. Theodore Bradley, elected June 15, 1865.
Mr. W. T. Reid, elected March 20, 1875.
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 633
GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL.
This school is located on Bush street, near Hyde street, in a large, commo-
dious fourteen-class building.* It now numbers 769 pupils in attendance.
It was first organized in June, 1864, in the old brick building previously
occupied by the Denman School, on the corner of Bush and Stockton streets.
It was composed of the young ladies transferred from the Boys' and Girls'
High School.
In July, 1867, a Normal Training Class for teachers was organized. This
class graduated in 1872. For want of appreciation on the part of the Board
of Education and interest on the part of the teachers of the school, the Nor-
mal instruction proved a failure and the class was broken up. On August
7, 1876, a regular Normal class was opened by the Board of Education, and
Mrs. Mary W. Kincaid was placed in charge as teacher. This class is now
well attended, and in a very nourishing condition. In May, 1877, thirty-one
pupils were graduated; in May, 1878, twenty-five; in May, 1879, thirty-
seven; and in May, 1880, seventy.
A new twelve-class building was erected for this school in 1870, on the fifty-
vara lot on which the old brick building is located. It was transferred to
this building in 1870. In 1871, the present High School building was erected,
and the school was transferred to its present location July 5, 1871.
Mr. E. H. Holmes was elected Principal of the school on its organization
in June, 1'864, and remained until June 13, 1876, when he resigned. Mr.
John Swett, the present Principal, was elected June 13, 1876.
LATIN SCHOOL.
This school was instituted upon the plan of the Boston Latin School, June
7, 1864, under the instruction of Mr. Geo. W. Bunnell, the Principal. It
was first taught in two class-rooms of the Lincoln Grammar School, then in
a rented building on Post street, near Stockton street, and was afterwards
transferred to the corner of Second and Bryant streets. This school met
with considerable opposition from many of the citizens, who opposed the
expenditure for a Latin School so long as the city was unable to furnish ac-
commodation for a large number of primary pupils.
Prof. Bunnell resigned at the close of the year 1867, and Mr. Win. K.
Rowell was elected Principal. In February, 1868, the school was consoli-
dated with the Boys' High School, Mr. Rowell being assigned the position of
Teacher of Classics. In the same year Mr. Kowell resigned and was suc-
ceeded by 'Mr. A. L. Mann, who remained in charge of the Classical Depart-
* There are also seven Junior Classes In the old High School building on the corner of Clay
and Powell streets.

fill the office of City Superintendent, and was succeeded by Mr. F. A. Black-
burn.
DENMAN GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
This school is pleasantly located on the northwest corner of Bush and
Taylor streets, in a fine large sixteen-class brick building, erected in 1864-
It is now exclusively a girls' school, and contains 825 pupils.
This was one of the first free schools organized in the city, and was opened
on the 17th of November, 1851, in a small one-story rented building, near the
corner of Second and Minna streets, and was then called the "Happy Valley
School." It was removed in November, 1853, to a wooden building on Bush
street near Sansoine street, where . u i until the 21st of May. 1854,
when it was transferred fo the brick school house on the corner of Bush and
Stockton, now used to accommodate some of the classes of the Bush Street
Primary School. It was again removed in July, 1864, to its present location.
It was first organized as a mixed school for boys and girls, but in July, 1865,
the sexes were separated, and the boys were transferred to the Lincoln School.
This school was first taught by James Denmau, who remained as Principal
till May 4, 1857, when he resigned on account of ill health. In consideration
of his being one of the pioneer teachers of our present system of free
schools, the Teachers' Institute of the city petitioned the Board of Education
to have this first public school, which he had organized and taught so long,
named the "Deaman Grammar School." The Board of Education, in
granting the request of the teacners of the city, unanimously passed the fol-
lowing order:

OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 639
COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOL.
A school for teaching the French and German languages was first instituted
in October, 1865, in a small building on the lot now occupied by the Tehamfi
Street Primary School. This school was commenced for the purpose of
teaching only such children as desired to acquire a knowledge of the French
or German language, and at first the institution was mainly confined to
teaching these languages, but the liberal offer of the Board of Education to
instruct the children of the city gratis in foreign languages, soon made this
system of instruction so popular with the public that the Board of Educa-
tion in October, 1866, reorganized them and changed their classification, so
that instead of devoting much time and attention to teaching French and
German, nearly all the pupils' time was occupied in the English studies.
This change in the organization of the Cosmopolitan Schools has increased
their number, but it has seriously injured their real usefulness, which should
be to teach the French and German languages.
In 1872 and 1873 instruction in the French and German languages wa«
introduced in nearly all the public schools. The little children of the pri-
mary schools, as well as the larger ones in the grammar classes, were com-
pelled to study either' German or French, and the pupils in the grammar
classes were compelled to study both French and German in the Cosmopoli-
tan Schools.
In February, 1874, the Board of Education abolished the study of all
languages other than the English, except in the Girls' and Boys' High School.
In July, 1874, the study of the French and German languages was again
introduced into the South Cosmopolitan, the North Cosmopolitan, the Hayes
Valley and the Valencia Grammar Schools; also into the South Cosmpolitan,
the Stockton Street, the Taylor Street, and the Silver Street Primaries.
At the present time German is taught in the Greenwich Street Primary,
and the South Cosmopolitan Primary Schools, and French and German are
taught in the Boys' High and the Girls' High Schools, the North Cosmopoli-
tan, South Cosmopolitan, and Hayes Valley Grammar Schools, and the Bush
Street Primary School.

brick building on Post street, between Dupont and Kearney streets, pur-
chased of Dr. E. Cohn, in October, 1866. The school remained in this

est among the Chinese to appreciate the benefits of free school instruction,
it was suspended in June, 1860, as a day school, but it was continued as an
evening school until February, 1871, when it was discontinued.

NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
PEIMAEY.
Situated on Tyler street, between Leavenworth and Hyde streets.
This is a three-story frame building and contains twelve class rooms.
The plans and specifications were prepared by P. J. O'Connor, architect, and
the work was done by Richard McCann, builder. The contract price was
$21,970; extra work, $1,209; architect's fees, $1,158.92; steam heater, $3,-
088.32— total cost, $27,426.24. The building was finished in April, 1880, acd
was accepted by the Board of Education June 14, 1880. It was erected for
the accommodation of the primary school known as the Market and Seventh
Street Primary. This school was moved into the new building May 3, 1880,
and now has a full corps of teachers, and an enrollment of seven hundred
and thirty-one pupils. It was named the "Grant Primary School" by the
Board of Education October 7, 1879. Miss A. M. Stincen, the Principal, has
had charge of the school from its organization.

688 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
Every State in the Union has a department of Public Instruc-
tion and the Legislatures make provision for the support of the
Public Schools. The cities and larger towns do not depend en-
tirely on State support, but levy taxes of their own free choice,
that better school facilities may be given to the children than the
State affords.
The Boards of Supervisors of San Francisco, with the excep-
tion of the present, have always provided very liberally for the
support of the Public Schools. That the appropriations this year
are insufficient is not the fault of your Honorable Body, as the
law gives to the Board of Education the power to say how much
money will be required for the support of the schools, and makes
it incumbent on you to provide by taxation the amount named
by that Board.
During the past year, the schools of San Francisco have flour-
ished as well as could be expected, considering the unsettled
condition of the city, and the many injurious, disintegrating
measures adopted by its present' Board of Education.
Notwithstanding the difficulties under which the schools have
been laboring, the teachers have been faithful in the perform-
ance of their wrork, and it is to be hoped the results reached are
such as will be satisfactory to the public and your Honorable
Body. That there are defects in our school system, no sensible
person will attempt to deny. All the works of man are imper-
fect, needing constant and intelligent study to improve them.
School work especially needs and ought to have, the attention
and services of the best and the most cultivated minds in the
community.
To point out the defects and errors in our educational system
— errors having the sanction of custom, or which have lately
crept in — is the imperative duty of teachers, principals, superin-
tendent and every other citizen who has the welfare of the com-
munity at heart.
Owing to the vast amount of work which your Honorable
Body has to perform it is impossible for you to give your atten-
tion to the detail work of the School Department; that is left to
the Board of Education.
The most that can be expected of you is to note results and
supply means for the actual necessities of the Department.
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 689
The results of the year's work, together with other valuable
information, you will find in the statistical report of the Secre-
tary, Mr. George Beanston.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The buildings and furniture generally are in good condition.
If some wealthy citizen, whose heart is full of love for his fellow
beings, would establish a free school for that benighted class of
people called Architects, in which they could receive even a
modicum of instruction on the subject of ventilation, he would
be worthy of everlasting praise and deserve to have a monument
erected to his memory more durable than Cheops.
The architect who is responsible for the construction of a
school house, church, or other public building, which has not
the most ample provision for ventilation, ought to be deemed
guilty of an offence demanding capital punishment.
The school buildings ought to be constructed for the conve-
nience and comfort of the pupils.
We are taught to believe that the creation of man was the
crowning work of the Almighty; that he is superior to and above
all the other works of God; that every creature is subser-
vient to him. We are told that " he reads the stars and grasps
the flame that quivers around the throne on high," and yet these
non-progressive architects seem to think that the children of
men are of inferior importance to the outward appearance of
the school house, and are made for no other purpose than to
be packed into air-tight boxes called school rooms; that the peo-
ple raise money not to furnish well ventilated, comfortable
rooms for their children, but to be wasted in costly ornaments
on the outside of the building. " Whited sepulchres, which
indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
men's bones, and of all uncleanness."
In most of the school houses there is no provision whatever
for ventilation except through the windows. In the Fairmount,
Haight, Grant and Sanchez street school houses, some feeble
attempt at a proper means of ventilation has been made.
44
690 KEPOKT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
There is no trouble in getting plenty of fresh air into a room ;
tiie difficulty is to get the foul air out.
The rooms in most of the school buildings are air-tight; from
the window sills to the floor they are boxes apparently made to
keep the children constantly in a bath of diluted carbonic acid.
A fireplace is the best possible ventilator for a room.
Every school room ought to have at least two openings (four
would be better), 12 by 24 inches, leading from the floor through
the roof, terminating in a chimney top eight feet above the roof;
these would give constant currents out of the room sufficient to
carry off all the foul air.
The buildings should be heated by a steam furnace in the base-
ment, and the warm air brought into the room near the ceiling.
The warm air will force the cold and impure air out through the
opening mentioned above. By this arrangement the scholars
would not be subjected to any drafts, and the air in the rooms
would be constantly changed, the fresh taking the place of the
impure, which would be driven out.
At. present, school-rooms, with these exceptions, are heated by
stoves. This is a very objectionable plan, as the stove must be
located in the middle of the room, and the children sitting next
it are rendered uncomfortable by the heat, while those more re-
mote may be cold or merely comfortably warm.
By a steam furnace, the temperature of the room is the same in
all parts of it, and can be increased or diminished as the health
and comfort of the pupils require.
Then, too, a furnace is more economical in the use of coal
where a number of rooms are to be heated; besides, it removes
the inconvenience of carrying coal to the rooms, up two or three
flights of stairs .
To keep up with the requirements of the Department three or
four new school-houses ought to be built each year. By economy
in all branches this could be done without meddling with teach-
ers' salaries, and thus could be avoided the necessity of issuing
bonds, and the further necessity of renting rooms and building
shanties called class-rooms in the school-yards— expedients con-
stantly resorted to to provide accommodations for the children
wishing to attend school.
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 691
To provide school buildings, bonds have been issued as follows:
1866 $197,000
1870 ' . . . . 285,000
1872 100.000
1874 200,000
$782,000
The issue of these bonds could have been avoided had the
Boards of Education built three or four school-houses each year,
this distributing the taxation equally.
For the fiscal year just closed, the Board of Education paid for
rented rooms $8,773.70.
This is not economy.
When a room is rented there is always considerable outlay for
putting the room in a condition to accommodate the class. The
landlord never incurs the expense; it always comes out of the
school fund.
The moat objectionable feature of school accommodations is
the so-called class-rooms built in the school-yard. There are
thirty-six of them scattered throughout the Department as fol-
lows:
Girls' High School 2
Broadway Grammar -2
Spring Valley Grammar 2
South Cosmopolitan Grammar 2
Valencia Grammar 4
Mission Grammar 3
Eighth Street Primary 4
Jefferson Grammar 4
Hayes Valley Primary 2
Noe and Toinple Primary 1
Jackson Street Primary 2
Harrison Street Ungraded 2
York Street Primary 1
Cor. Page and Gough Streets 4
Very few, if any, of these rooms are fit to be used for school
purposes.
They are set close to the ground, low in the walls. Some of
them are without any finish inside, and made of rough boards
shabbily put together.
692 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
They are unhealthy, poorly ventilated, uncomfortably hot in
summer, and cold, damp and gloomy in winter.
During hot days in the summer some of them are so close and
stifling, that the teachers are obliged to take the scholars out
under the sheds in the yards to keep them comfortable.
In the frontier districts it would be difficult to find a school-
room more ill adapted for the convenience, comfort and health
of the pupils than some of these.
Here in the centre of civilization, with the generous appropri-
ations for school purposes, it is outrageous to confine children
all day in such shanties. Boards of Education are responsible
for this condition of affairs. Had the money raised for school
purposes duriug the past six years been used to erect good com-
fortable buildings, and not allowed to pass into the general fund
at the close of the fiscal years, the Department would now be sup-
plied with accommodations sufficient to seat all the children in
the city who desire to attend the Public Schools.
The building on the corner of Fourth and Clara streets is no
longer fit for occupancy as a school-house; being unsafe, liable
to fall at any time, and leaking like a sieve.
The Mayor, Hon. I. S. Kallooh, the Auditor, Hon. J. P.
Dunn, and the Treasurer, Hon. J. S. Shaber, have issued bonds
to the extent of $43,500 for the relief of this school. If the
Board of Education will now do its duty, purchase the lot, and
build the school-house, the children of that neighborhood can
have the accommodations they deserve.
A new school-house for this district is the greatest and most
pressing need of the Department.
As soon as the matter can be reached, a new commodious build-
ing ought to be erected in some central locality for the accom-
modation of the Girls' High School. The school is now divided,
a part being located in the old building on Powell street. The
new building should contain a large hall or assembly room, suffi-
cient to hold all the scholars attending the school.
School-houses ought to be strongly built, with ample class-
rooms, high in the walls, and most thoroughly ventilated. All
unnecessary ornamentation should be omitted. They should be
built for the comfort and convenience of the pupils, and they
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 693
should be places for. the development of mind and body, not
monuments of architectural skill and extravagance.
The furniture throughout the Department is in good condition
and of the most improved pattern. There is probably no other
city in the United States where the school furniture is better or
better preserved than in San Francisco. The Principals and
teachers deserve much praise for the care they take of the public
property. To such an extent has the care for the furniture in
the Clement Grammar School been exercised, that the Chairman
of Committee on Furniture and Supplies has written a com-
plimentary letter to the Principal, thanking her and the teachers
for the excellent manner in which the furniture is kept.
SUPPLIES.
Under this head belong the articles furnished the schools, such
as books, paper, pens, ink, slates, brooms, dust-pans, brushes,
towels, etc., etc., etc., and tne articles too numerous to be men-
tioned which are furnished the carpenter shop.
Twice during the term of the last Board of Education the
Committee on Furniture and Supplies took an accurate account
of stock in all the schools, the store-room and the carpenter's
shop, and reported the same to the Board of Education.
That report is now on file at the rooms of the Board. The
recommendations in that report are worthy of your attention and of
some action on the part of the present Board of Education. The
report concludes as follows :
"A careful examination of the foregoing schedule will show
that there is much property stored in the school-houses which is
not required for the use of the schools. All this should be col-
lected in one general store-room, put under the care of the store-
keeper, an accurate record should be kept at the rooms of the
Board, and the property should be delivered only upon requi-
sitions."
It will be observed that there is a long list of supplies and
materials in the Carpenter Shop of which no record is kept at
the rooms of the Board. These supplies and materials should be
issued only on requisition.
694 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
The Head Carpenter is a good, faithful man, and does his
best to protect the interests of the Department, but he has more
than enough to occupy all his time, without looking after the
supplies iu the shop and the schools; besides, this duty does not
properly belong to his department. He is the only person who
has any knowledge of the property stored in the school-houses,
and in case of his resignation, there would be no one who could
give any information as to what property the Department pos-
sesses, or where it is located.
Gentlemen — we are spending, in round numbers, about $50,-
000 annually for supplies. We have, virtually, no system of pro-
tection for this vast amount of property, but are dealing it out
as called for, to persons who are not required to give any ac-
count of what disposition they make of it. No record is kept at
the rooms of the Board to show the amount we have, or where
it is. This is all wrong, and should be corrected. If this Board
of Education adopts some system for the protection of this prop-
erty, the members can retire from office, at the expiration of
their term, with the consciousness that they deserve well of their
constituents, even if they should do no other good thing.
Your Committee recommend —
1st. That a suitable record book 'be opened in each of the
schools, iu which shall be entered every movable article of value
in and around the school building, belonging to the Department;
also, every article which shall come into the school building.
2d. That the Committee on Furniture and Supplies be author-
ized to adopt a system for the distribution of the supplies in the
schools, and prescribe the manner in which the books shall be kept
and the reports made by the Principals, and that the Principals be
instructed to follow such directions as the Committee may give
in regard to supplies .
3d. That all the movable property in the various schools, not
in use, be collected into one general storeroom.
4th. That the Committee on School-houses and Sites be au-
thorized to provide a suitable store-room at the corner of Pine
and Larkin streets for such property as may be collected to-
gether.
5th. That all furniture in store, and all supplies not in use, be
put under the care of the store keeper.
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 695
6fch. That suitable books be kept at the rooms of the Board of
Education, which shall show an accurate account of all the
movable property belonging1 to the Department, and what dis-
position has been made of it.
The Board of Education was willing to have the above recom-
mendations carried out, and the Committee on School-houses
and Sites prepared the store-room; but when it was found neces-
sary to increase the clerical force of the Secretary's office by one
clerk, the Board refused to take any further action in the case,
and the property is in the same condition as two years ago, when
the report was made.
This state of things ought not to be allowed to exist. Any
man who would conduct his business in this loose, careless man-
ner would soon fail. A system of. accounts ought to be adopted
which will show the disposition of every article purchased for
the School Department. This plan would necessitate the em-
ployment of another clerk, but the expense would be more than
saved. The present plan must, of necessity, be wasteful, for the
reason that there is no responsibility on the part of the seven
hundred persons applying for, or receiving, the property of the
Department.
There are about sixty schools in the Department. The Prin-
cipals order supplies as they need them. The Principals
deal out these supplies to their teachers, and the teachers are
not required to report to the Principals, nor are Princi-
pals required to report to the Board what disposition is
made of them. I do not think, nor do I intimate that any Prin-
cipal or teacher would misappropriate any property belong-
ing to the Department; yet its present method is not business-
like, and would ruin any private business firm.
Accountability in all things is the only true basis on which to
perform public or private service. Most people seem to think
that the same degree of care is not requisite in the performance
of public duties as in private — that there is no one in particular
to whom they are responsible, that neglect, carelessness, and in-
attention will be overlooked, that, unless some outrageous crimi-
nal act is committed, they can slide through their term of office,
take life easy, draw their salary, and be happy. This is all
wrong; a knowledge of the fact that they are trusted to perform
696
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
certain duties — that they are chosen because they are thought
fit, capable, and honorable, ought to be more of a stimulus to
even a lazy man, than the eye of a master.
If in public business that same diligence and economy was
exercised as in private business, we should not hear the constant
wail of the overburdened taxpayer.
The following statement has been prepared in order that your
Honorable Body and the public may know for what the School
Fund has been expended.
The statement is arranged first by months showing the actual
monthly expenses of the Department.
The second arrangement shows an alphabetical list of all the
articles purchased for the year.

OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 731
By an inspection of the foregoing statement it will be seen that
an almost innumerable list of articles have to be purchased for the
use of the schools,
The cost of each article in itself may not amount to much
money, but the aggregate foots up enormously. Economy in
these little expenditures would effect a great saving in the an-
nual expenses.
FREE TEXT BOOKS.
The opinion seems to prevail with most people that a large
amount of money is expended for furnishing free text books.
By reference to the statement it will be seen that during the last
fiscal year only $2,112 JJ-0 were expended for free text books —
certainly not a large sum, considering the number of scholars
attending the schools.
To furnish free text books to all the scholars would cost the
School Department, at first, about sixty-five thousand dollars for
the Primary and Grammar schools.
The Department would not be justified in making this expen-
diture.
This is not a paternal government. The parents ought to bear
part of the expense of the education of their children. The city
does its duty when it provides free schools for all children and
free books for those who are not able to purchase them. For
the eight years which a child may spend in the Primary and
Grammar schools the books will cost not to exceed twenty dol-
lars, or about two dollars and twenty-five cents per year. This
certainly is a very slight expense for the parents to bear.
KINDERGARTENS.
There ought to be a Kindergarten established in connection
with each Primary School in the city. The work of education
cannot be commenced too early. Herewith is submitted the able
report of Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, an earnest, faithful worker in
the cause of education. Her report is commended to your
earnest consideration.
732 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
REPORT ON KINDERGARTENS.
John W. Taylor, Superintendent of Public Schools :
MY DEAR SIR — In compliance with your request, I have the
pleasure of herewith submitting to you a condensed statement in
regard to Kindergarten work in San Francisco.
For some two years or more there has been a marked and
growing public interest evinced in the subject of Kindergarten
Schools. The history of Kindergartens in California may be
briefly summarized :
In 1876, Miss Einrna Marwedel, a pupil of Froebel, the
founder of the system, and one of the four leading Kindergarteners
of this country, came to the State from Washington, D. C.,
where her success, both as a trainer and a teacher, had been
marked and brilliant. Her first Normal Class was in Los
Angeles. Subsequently, she established herself in Berkeley,
where she also trained a Normal Class, all of whom have since
proved themselves successful Kindergarten teachers. A second
class recently received their diplomas, and have already secured
positions to teach.
From Berkeley, Miss Marwedel removed to San Francisco, and
opened the Pacific Kindergarten Normal School , connected with
a Model Kindergarten and Primary Department, at No. 1711
Van Ness avenue.
She is the pioneer worker in this field on the Pacific Coast,
and is a living embodiment of the principles which she teaches.
She plans, organizes and moves forward, inspired by a mighty
purpose, and by love and faith in the work which she has
chosen.
No more accomplished or faithful Kindergarten trainer could
be found than Miss Marwedel. She has now in training a large
class of young ladies, who are preparing themselves for teachers.
She has, also, a large number of pupils in her Primary Depart-
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 733
merit, the children of some of our best and most intelligent
citizens, who appreciate this system of training, and who see in
it the best mode of developing the faculties of a little child.
ESTABLISHMENT OF FREE KINDERGARTENS.
In July, 1878, Professor Felix Adler, a noted philanthropist,
came to San Francisco, and by public discussion, and private
appeal, succeeded in awakening a deep public interest in the
subject of Free Public Kindergartens, showing the beneficial re-
sults, morally, intellectually and physically, on the children who
are brought under the beneficent influences of this system of
training. He made frequent allusion to the wonderful working
of several of these Free Kindergartens, which he had founded
in the city of New York, showing that, as a moral, benevolent
and educational agency, they were unapproachable.
On one occasion, he said, "If we apply the spirit of preventive
charity to our age, we must face the evil of pauperism, the root
of which lies in a lack of education of the children. In the
United States the social question is not yet acute, as it is in
Europe, and we are called upon to prevent it from becoming a
menace to our republican institutions, by building up an intelli-
gent class of voters inaugurating the Kindergarten system of
education, and so saving the rising generation from destruction."
In private, Professor Adler sought out several well-known
public-spirited citizens, whom he deeply interested in his project,
and they set out to secure subscribers to the enterprise. This
was not difficult to do; for men of thought see in such work the
future good of the commonwealth; they see in it the only sure
prevention of pauperism and crime.
The funds were raised, the Public Kindergarten Society of
San Francisco was formed . The Silver Street Kindergarten was
established, soon thereafter, and Miss Katherine D, Smith, a grad-
uate of Miss Marwedel's Class at Los Angeles, an enthusiastic
and devoted Kindergartner was elected as teacher. The success
and interest attaching to this work were almost phenomenal. The
public heart beat warm and high toward this new effort in be-
half of the neglected little children of the city from three to
six years of age. Much was said and written upon the subject.
734 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
TLe Press was earnest in advocacy of the work. In October,
1879, the Jackson Street Free Kindergarten Association, com-
posed of members of a large adult Bible Class in Calvary
Church, started a second Kindergarten at 116 Jackson street, in
the immediate vicinity of what is known as "The Barbary
Coast/' In April, 1880, the Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion started a third Free Kindergarten at 29 Minna street, and a
little later a fourth one was opened on Shipley street, near
Sixth street . These four Kindergartens were all established and
have been carried forward by charity.
FOUNDING OF THE EXPERIMENTAL KINDERGARTEN.
This brings us to the inauguration and establishment of the
Experimental Kindergarten in connection with the Public Schools
of San Francisco. Its history is briefly this. In the opening of
the Jackson Street Kindergarten, it was found that many more
children applied for admission than could possibly be accommo-
dated. In this emergency, it was decided to take none over five
years of age, in order to keep the children as long as possible
under Kindergarten instruction before they entered the Public
School.
It seemed so sad to turn these children back again to the
vice and wickedness of the streets, when they were so eager for
instruction, that it wras resolved to make an effort to form them
into a Receiving Class, and endeavor to carry it on without ex-
pense for some months at least. In order to do this a large room
was secured, rent free, for four months, in the same building
where the free Kindergarten is situated, at No. lit) Jackson street.
John Swett, Principal of the Girls' High School, and an earnest
advocate of the work, secured benches, blackboards and other
necessary appliances, by requisition on the School Department.
He also sent Normal Class pupils to teach, thus accomplishing a
dual benefit — the gratuitous instruction of the children and a
practical application of the theories of education by the teacher,
At the close of the four months it was found that this Kinder-
garten could no longer be carried on free, and the Board of Edu-
cation was petitioned to adopt it as an Experimental Kinder
garten in connection with the Department.
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 735-
It should be stated in this connection, that on the evening of
February 27, 1880, a special meeting was called by the Board of
Education in the Board of Supervisors' Chambers, New City Hall,
for the purpose of hearing the views of a Committee, which had
been appointed by the Public Kindergarten Society, to confer
with the school Board upon the subject of engrafting the Kin-
dergarten system upon that of the Public School.
The attendance was very large, including scholars of every
profession, educators, philanthropists, and business men. Stir-
ring addresses were made by Kev. Dr. Stebbins, Judge Heyden-
felt, Miss Kate D. Smith, John W. Taylor, John Swett, A. Mc-
F. Davis, and others, all of whom testified to the transcendent
merits of the Kindergarten over all other known systems of juve-
nile training, and strongly urged its adoption by the Board.
The meeting resulted in the appointing of a Committee to inves-
tigate and report.
On May 24, 1880, the Committee reported in favor of estab-
lishing Kindergartens, recommending the Receiving Class on
Jackson street to be the first adopted by the Board. The room
already occupied by the school was rented, at $20 per month,
and put in repair, the proper furniture and supplies were fur-
nished, Miss Flora Van Denburgh, a trained and experienced
Kindergartner was elected as teacher, with a salary of $51 per
month, and t flourishing school with upwards of fifty enrolled
pupils is now in successful operation, under the auspices of the
School Department. The pupils from the Free Kindergarten
above, in the same building, will be graduated into this
class, when they reach the age of five years. This class may be
regarded as the connecting link between the Kindergarten
proper and the Primary Schools.
The teaching, while carried on strictly after the Froebel sys-
tem, is modified and adjusted to suit the requirements of the
children, preparatory to their entering the lowest Primary grade.
There are forty-six of these schools in St. Louis connected with
the Public School Department, and they are said to be working
wonders in the development of the younger children.
It is claimed that the child who has this Kindergarten training
before entering the Primary grade sets out in his educational
736 EEPOKT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
career from a higher point of departure, and that he can accom-
plish in two years what the untutored child will require three
years to achieve. They excel because of the intellectual awaken-
ing given them in the mathematical exercises on the Kindergar-
ten gifts.
W. S. Harris, LL. D., Superintendent of Public Instruction
at St. Louis, Mo., in a late report, in speaking of the educational
results of the Kindergarten, discusses at some length the relations
of skilled and unskilled labor. He contends that the superior
wealth-producing power of skilled labor depends on the fact that
its products are elaborated into forms of beauty, and that they
present greater complexity. Unskilled labor can do only the
coarse wrork of getting out the raw material. The price of
manufacture is in proportion to the amount of brains mixed
with it.
From this he argues that the Kindergarten occupations which
train the supple muscles of the child in such a manner as to
cause them to be obedient servants to the will; that train the
eye to accuracy and develop taste in the selection of shapes and
form; that the "gifts" which develop an early and permanent
tendency to mathematical operations, all conspire to make the
Kindergarten training an invaluable adjunct in the early educa-
tion of an industrial people.
ARGUMENTS IN BEHALF OF KINDERGARTEN SCHOOLS.
It seems to be generally conceded that the State begins too
late when it permits the child to first enter the Public Schools at
six years of age.
' c It is locking the stable-door after the horse is stolen."
Hoodlumism in San Francisco abundantly verifies this fact.
The vice and wickedness which is picked up by the unfortunate
little children of the by-ways and alleys from three to six years
of age is' seldom if ever eradicated.
The simple, salient fact is, we do not get hold of these children
soon enough.
An unfortunate childhood is the sure prophecy of an unfortu-
nate life.
The man — the character — says a renowned educator, is made
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 737
at seven. What he is then he will be likely to remain the rest of
his life.
"Implant lessons of virtue and well-doing in earliest child-
hood/3 says Plato. " G-ive me the child," says Lord Bacon, "and
the State shall have the man/'
The whole design of the Kindergarten system is, to prevent
criminals. And what estimate shall be placed upon an instru-
mentality which saves the child from becoming a criminal, and
thus saves the State not only the expense and care incident to
such reform, but also secures to the State all that which the life
of a good citizen brings to it ? Is it not cheaper for the State to
educate the children of the poor and ignorant into noble men
and women, than to support them as paupers or punish them as
criminals ? This the Kindergarten, supplemented by the Public
Schools, can do. Does not the Public School need the Kinder-
garten to accomplish this ?
THE BASIS OF THE KINDERGARTEN METHOD.
" We learn through doing." This is the practical basis of the
Kindergarten method. "Let us begin at the beginning," says
Froebel. Too much has to be undone in later years that has
been done wrong at the outset. The Kindergarten claims to
secure the maximum of self-activity in the child. The pupil is
educated not by what is done for him, but by what he is led to
do for himself, Pestalozzi, by object lessons, cultivated the
power of observation. Froebel utilizes that observation, and
makes it a personal heritage to the child by inducing him to
reproduce the object.
In the Kindergarten the child must work for what it gets.
This gives him faith in his own ability to overcome obstacles.
It develops in him patience, perseverance and will-power. He
is encouraged with every fresh achievement. What he knows
he must know thoroughly and accurately, for the salient feature
of the Kindergarten method is that it transforms every element
of knowledge into an element of creation. Much is said now-a-
days about technical education, schools for the working classes,
educating skilled laborers, and the like. Now, the very founda-
tion of the Froebel System is not to turn out architects, watch-
47
738 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
makers, or shoemakers; not to prepare the child for a given
trade, that comes later on; but it is to give a preparatory train-
ing and practice that will make all technical processes simple.
Thus the Kindergarten utilizes this early portion of a child's
life in wise preparation for the industrial arts, without robbing
it of any of its needed school education.
In the g3rmnastic games every part of the body is brought into
activity, and thus physical health and development are insured.
The dramatic interest connected with the games cultivates the
imagination and sympathies of the child.
THE MORAL INFLUENCES OF THE SYSTEM.
In the Kindergarten every child is taught individual freedom,
but it is a freedom that must respect the rights of others. Love
is law. The child is gradually taught to sit in judgment upon
his own conduct. Obedience is exacted to the letter, but the
method of securing it is through mild forms of punishment.
The primal idea is to teach the child to govern itself at the
earliest possible period. A child, to learn how to govern
itself, must be indulged in self-government. All government
should be aiming all the time at the child's enfranchisement, not
in making him an unwilling slave.
The children are taught to love one another, to help one an-
other, to care for one another. The moral regeneration of the
race is involved in this matter of training, as interpreted by the
advocates of the system.
SUMMARIZED EFFECTS OF THE SYSTEM.
Briefly epitomized, then, the Kindergarten training claims to
develop all the latent powers of the child. The creative facul-
ties are stimulated; inventive genius is called into play, habits of
industry, perseverance, order and regularity are inculcated;
taste, intellect, feeling and action are cultivated; the muscles,
the senses, the powers of perception, comparison and concen-
tration are wisely trained and balanced, correct and accurate
ideas of proportion, color and beauty are required, the moral
and religious nature is excited to habits of obedience, reverence,
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 739
kindness and unselfishness, and a proper regard for the rights of
others. In short, it is claimed, that the true Kindergarten sys-
tem results in an improved physical system, a strengthening of
the perceptive and reflective powers, and a careful cultivation of
the heart.
THE TRUE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER.
From this it follows, that the true Kindergarten teacher must
have peculiar endowments to fit her for the work. She should
unite the tenderness of the mother with a true philosophical in-
stinct into the nature of childhood; and in addition to natural
endowment, she should be thoroughly acquainted with Froebel's
system of sharpening the five senses. The Kindergarten plan
of development seems to be Nature's plan, and if this be so, it
must be the most successful plan. It is adapted to all classes of
society. In the Kindergarten schools of St. Louis there are as
many volunteers as salaried teachers. Young women in every
walk of life will find much culture of thought, from the discus-
sion of Kindergarten theories, much experience in teaching that
is calculated to be of' invaluable service to them as wives and
mothers.
On this point Superintendent Harris, of St. Louis, says: "I
have thought that the benefit derived from the lectures of Miss
Blow" (the organizer of the Kindergartens and the instructor of
the teachers) "to be of sufficient value to compensate the city
for the entire cost of the Kindergartens. A nobler and more
enlightened womanhood will result, and the family will prove a
better nurture for the child." This matter of volunteer teachers
to assist the trained Kindergartners would essentialy aid in solv-
ing the practical problem of how to introduce the Kindergarten
into the Public School system.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN REGARD TO KINDERGARTENS.
That public sentiment in favor of Kindergartens is steadily
growing is as manifest as the morning. Our Kindergarten work
at 116 Jackson street has afforded generous opportunity for
ascertaining public sentiment in regard to this movement, in be-
740 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
half of the neglected children from three to six .years of age that
throng our streets and alleys. There seems to be but one opinion
on the subject, and that is, that the Public School system, to do
radical work, must get hold of these children at an earlier age.
Much satisfaction is expressed at the action of the School Board
in establishing the Experimental Kindergarten, at No. 116 Jack-
son street.
The children of the poor, during these susceptible }Tears, should
be kept from the vices of the streets, which become ineradicable.
The children of the rich need also to be brought under wise
and wholesome discipline, to keep them from becoming self-
willed and self-indulgent. Thus the Kindergartens may become
an invaluable safeguard to the children of both classes; a grand
agency for developing all that is purest and best in the child,
and the foundation rock on which may be reared a noble man-
hood and womanhood.
Could public funds find their way into a more promising chan-
nel than this?
Could Boards of Education do a more radical work? Primary
work is foundation work — tbe most valuable and important work
of all. The Kindergarten reaches down to the very foundations
upon which true character is built. It is full of promise and
fruition, of hope and reward. It would make San Francisco the
prototype of all that is most desirable in a commonwealth — the
peer of any city in the world.
Respectfully submitted,
SAEAH B. COOPER,
General Manager of Jackson Street Free Kindergarten.
Daily we see the streets, lanes and by-ways of our city filled
with little children too young to go to the Public Schools — chil-
dren for whom the street, sidewalk and dirty lane have more at-
tractions than their homes. They are allowed to run all day
without any care or instruction. Their young minds are being,
corrupted, and the seeds of sin are getting a deep hold in fruit-
ful soil — sure to produce an abundant crop of crimiiuds.
Mrs. Cooper says: "The whole design of the Kindergarten
system is to prevent criminals." For the good of the city and
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 741
the State, for the good of these little ones, in the name of hu-
manity, let us take these children, and by preventing them from
becoming criminals, make them good citizens.
The money expended will be a much more profitable invest-
ment than the New City Hall, with its marble floors and elegant
furniture, or Golden Gate Park with its beautiful shrubbery and
pleasant drives.
The little ones are not responsible for their condition or early
education in sin. If they grow up to be criminals, the parents
and city alone are responsible.
" God gave a gift to earth: — a Child,
Weak, innocent and undefiled,
Opened its ignorant eyes and smiled .
It lay so helpless, so forlorn,
Earth took it coldly and in scorn,
Cursing the day when it was born.
She gave it first a tarnished name
For heritage, a tainted fame,
Then cradled it in want and shame.
All influence of Good or Right,
All ray of God's most holy light,
She curtained closely from its sight.
Then turned her heart, her eyes away,
Ready to look again the day
Its little feet began to stray.
In dens of guilt the baby played,
Where sin, and sin alone, was made
The law that all around obeyed.
With ready and obedient care
He learnt the tasks they taught him there,
Black sin for lesson, — oaths for prayer.
Then earth arose, and in her might
To vindicate her injured right,
Thrust him in deeper depths of night.

Branding1 him with a deeper brand
Of shame, he could not understand,
The felon outcast of the land.
God gave a gift to earth, — a Child,
Weak, innocent and undefiled,
Opened its ignorant eyes arid smiled.
And earth received the gift, and cried
Her joy and triumph far and wide,
Till echo answered to her pride.
She blest the hour when first he came
To take the crown of pride and fame,
"Wreathed through long ages for his name.
Then bent her utmost art and skill
To train the supple mind and will,
And guard it from a breath of ill.
She strewed its morning path with flowers,
And love, in tender dropping showers,
Nourished the blue and dawning hours.
She shed, in rainbow hues of light,
A halo round the Good and Right,
To tempt and charm the baby's sight.
And every step, of work or play,
Was lit by some such dazzling ray,
Till morning brightened into day.
And then the World arose, and said,
Let added honors now be shed
On such a noble heart and head!
Ah World, both gifts were pure and bright,
Holy and sacred in God's sight,—
God will judge them and thee aright.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT.
Hon. John W. Taylor, Superintendent of Common Schools:
SIR — Herewith I present my Annual Report of the condition
of the classes in this Department for the year ending June 30,
1880.
Owing to various causes, I have not been able to visit the
schools as regularly and frequently during the past year as de-
sirable. The increasing extent of the Department, the labor
and time involved in the examination of teachers during the first
half of the school year, and the unusual amount of special work
connected with the Superintendent's office have all contributed
to interfere with the regular duties of supervision and inspection
especially belonging to the Deputy. The work of supervision
has therefore devolved to a greater extent upon the Principals.
These, as was remarked in a previous report, are really Assistant
.Superintendents in their respective jurisdictions, and they should
be granted even more freedom of action than at present, and be
held to a corresponding accountability.
The past year has been one of unusual excitement and uncer-
tainty in Public School matters. The work of education thrives
best in tranquil and peaceful days, and whatever tends to pro-
duce a feeling of insecurity or anxiety in the minds of the great
body of teachers, must react upon their daily work and deterior-
ate its quality and its value. And yet, notwithstanding these
disturbing influences, among which the readjustment of salaries
upon a new and an unwise basis has been an important factor,
after careful and general observation, I can testify that the regu-
lar daily work of the class-room has been steadily and faithfully
performed, with a firm confidence on the part of the teachers
that time would certainly bring a better appreciation of their
position and their work.
744 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
INSPECTION OF CLASSES.
In my visits to the various classes of the Department, I have
found much to commend. Industry, intelligence, punctuality
and faithfulness on the part of the class teachers, supplemented
by careful and wise supervision by the Principal, are the rule
and not the exception in the Department. Day by day, the great
army of school children are collected in their respective classes,
and are being educated and trained for the part they are to bear-
in the world. That there is, as yet, absolute economy in the ap-
plication of the time, labor and expense involved in this great
work, no one will claim, but the great and indispensable services-
rendered to the people at large cannot be questioned, and he who
will hamper or weaken the Public Schools in their proper pro-
vince, is an enemy to republican institutions and popular freedom.
To reduce the waste, to stop the leakage of power, to utilize to
the utmost all resources at the command of the Department, ta
render the schools effective to the highest degree, is the work of
those interested with their regulation, and to this end should all
their efforts be directed.
KINDERGARTENS.
There is no longer any doubt of the wisdom and the practicability
of commencing the education of children at an earlier age than
that now required for admission to our lowest grades in the Pub-
lic Schools. Although the experiment has been conducted thus
far under difficult conditions, yet it is certainly a marked success,
as may be seen by any one who will visit and observe the free
Kindergartens on Silver and Jackson streets, and the excellent
school of Miss Marwedel on Van Ness avenue.
There ought to be one class of this kind in every large primary
school in the city, as a preparation for the eighth grades. More
than this, the Kindergarten methods should, to some extent, be
continued in those grades. The class-rooms should all be pro-
vided with pictures and simple apparatus of various kinds, as a
help to the natural development of the observing powers of the
pupils. A comparatively small expenditure would furnish all
the eighth grades with a supply of this kind, and would greatly
increase their efficiency.
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 745
The important change made by the present Board in the basis
of the adjustment of salaries has resulted in throwing the eighth
grade classes largely into the hands of the newest teachers.
This, it seems to me, is most unwise. If any class of pupils in
the Department demands a higher degree of ability and experi-
ence than another, it is the entering class. It would be much
better to put young teachers in charge of sixth or seventh grade
classes, and retain the older teachers for the eighth. A change
in the Schedule rating the three lowest grades equally would
tend to secure this result.
READING.
In my inspection of classes particular attention has been given
to the instruction in reading. When I find a teacher who
teaches reading well, who makes out of this exercise all that can.
be made, not only in regard to voice, articulation and expression,
but also in general development, in the true meaning and proper
use of words, in exciting a desire for knowledge of every kind —
when this particular and rather rare type of instructor is found,
I am willing to trust him or her with all the rest of the curricu-
lum.
A proper use of the reading hour under a thorough and gifted
instructor involves the whole subject of language in its widest
sense. It means instruction of the best kind in natural science,
biography, history, geography, general knowledge of every kind;
and, best of all, it means the awakening of the pupil's mind to
its own powers and its own needs, it furnishes the goiden key
that shall unlock to him all the treasures of science.
There is a wide range between such instruction as this and the
careless apathy of the teacher who sits listening to his pupils-
succesively reading half-understood paragraphs, and allows the
hour to pass by without a single word of real instruction. I
am glad to say that there is a continued improvement, in this
respect, in the classes of this department. There are a great
many teachers who are fully alive to the importance and value
of good instruction in this branch, and the number of those
who adhere to the old mechanical, worthless style of hear-
ing reading, is growing less and less. There is an increas-
746 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
ing feeling in favor of supplementary reading. The regular
school readers contain so much that is uninteresting
and so little that is really attractive to the scholar that they
soon become familiar and tiresome to him. There ought to
"be, in every grade, good sets of supplementary readers that
can be passed around from class to class giving a much wider
range and keeping up the pupil's interest. In First and Second
Grades, a hundred copies of the Youth's Companion, or some
similar periodical, to a certain number of classes, would be
invaluable.
ORTHOGRAPHY.
In all reading exercises, whether in the regular reading book
or other text-books, the teacher should constantly call the atten-
tion of pupils to the spelling of the words, as well as to their
meaning and use. New words should be learned, as we learn
new faces, by attentive observation. Oral spelling should be
frequently practiced. I have found classes where there was
absolutely no oral spelling . This is decidedly wrong. Written
spelling, important as it is, must be supplemented by oral, if
the teacher would have his pupils acquire words rapidly and
correctly.
ARITHMETIC .
This important branch of instruction, I have found to be well
and thoroughly taught, as a general thing. In skillful drill in
practical oral arithmetic, I think our schools are not surpassed
any. »Iii order to assist the class teachers in their work, I
have prepared three sets of cards, of a hundred each, containing
simple and practical problems. These cards have been used in
all the grades above the Seventh, and have been found to be a
great help to the teachers. I believe that by the use of a suffi-
cient number of these examples, adapted to each grade, with all
explanations and definitions left to the teacher, the text-books
on arithmetic could be entirely dispensed with, excepting for the
teacher's desk, thus saving a large amount to the parents.
I have yet to see a school arithmetic that is not from one-
fourth to three-fourths pure waste matter. Examine the first
one that comes to hand, and eliminate from its pages all that is
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 747
useless to the ordinary pupil, and the remainder will be very,
very thin. Of course the living teacher should be competent to
give, briefly and clearly, all definitions and explanations which
are absolutely necessary, leaving the pupil to deduce as much as
possible for himself.
GRAMMAR.
I regret to say that I cannot speak as favorably of the instruc-
tion in this branch of study. The change in the text-books I
regard as unfortunate, especially as regards the lower grades.
I am satisfied that it is entirely needless to have any text-book
at all in the hands of the pupils in those grades. A few general
directions would enable the teacher, taking the reader as a basis,
to inculcate a gradual knowledge of technical grammar, which
should be supplemented by the more valuable practice of abun-
dant sentence-making and the constant correcting of wrong ex-
pressions. The pupils should be taught how to .talk and to
write correctly, within the range of their capacity and develop-
ment, and at the same time should gradually acquire grammati-
cal forms and definitions. We learn to talk by talking, and to
write by writing— under careful and intelligent supervision —
and no amount of memorizing of grammatical rules and defini-
tions will supply the want of proper practice, or make up for a
lack of right and correct use of language in parents and teachers
GEOGRAPHY.
There is no branch of instruction in which the general knowl-
edge of the teacher can be used to better advantage than in the
teaching of geography. There is still too much dry memorizing
of the text, and too little use of the outline maps and of the globe.
In order to assist the first-grade classes in reviewing, a list of 300
questions has been prepared, covering the entire course in that
grade. The use of these has proved so satisfactory, that it is now
proposed to extend the same plan to the second and perhaps to
the other grades. The objection might be raised against such
aid to the class teachers, that it confines them too much, and is a
hindrance to their individuality in instruction. This has not been
found to be the case. The amount to be memorized in geographi-
748 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
cal text-books is so great that it is a positive blessing to teacher
and pupil to limit the amount to what is realhr important; and
as all pupils of one grade undergo the same examination at the
close of the year, it is better that this abridgment be alike for
all. The really progressive, intelligent and enthusiastic teacher,
and we have many such in this Department, will still know
how to clothe the dry bones of geographical facts with living
iiesh, and make this interesting branch contribute its propor-
tionate part to the true education of the pupil.
A great deal of history may profitably be taught in connection
with geography. How fascinating to a class and how instructive,
can- a thoroughly informed teacher, standing, pointer in hand,
before a good outline map, make a simple lecture on the early
explorations, the attempts at colonization, successful and other-
wise, the struggle for Independence, the Mexican war, or the
war of Secession. Indeed almost every lesson in geography
should be accompanied with the striking points of history which
are naturally suggested by it.
In map-drawing it has heretofore been thought best to limit
pupils to their own State. The very creditable specimens pre-
sented at the last annual examination have led to an extension of
the subject. First grade scholars are expected this year to draw,
from memory, the block of Pacific States and Territories, with a
reasonable number of locations.
HISTORY.
The change in text-books in history is an improvement. The
book now in use is much better adapted for class reading than
the last, and I hold that this is the true use of a text book in
history. In some of the Eastern cities written examinations in
history have been entirely abandoned, as it was found that pupils
memorized page after page with but little real appreciation of
the subject matter. The new plan, which has been found to work
to a charm, and to clothe the subject with new and ever-increas-
ing interest, devotes a specified hour to the subject, making the
reading of the text aloud in the class the basisof instruction.
ConcoinLarit with this, free discussion on all points, and the
bringing in of additional facts by the pupils or by the teacher,
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 749
rouse the interest of the pupil to the highest degree, and excitfe
a love for historical reading, which must have the best results.
As long as the acquisition of credits and high per cent, in written
examinations are' the be-all and end-all of all effort on the part
of teacher and pupil, I suppose it will be thought nearly impos-
sible to teach histoiy in this natural and rational manner, but I
respectfully submit the suggestion that the experiment be fairly
tried in our first and second grades.
PHYSIOLOGY.
In the new course of study, this very interesting and useful
branch has been wisely restored to the curriculum. The new
text-book, however, besides being written in language decidedly,
beyond the capacity of pupils of the First and the Second Grades,
goes more deeply into the subject than is advisable, or than is
possible thoroughly to accomplish in the time devoted to it.
As the study of Physiology is continued in the junior classes
of the High Schools, I would suggest that the Grammar School
classes be limited to the first hundred pages of the book, and
that the same text-book be used in the High Schools. By order
of the Committee on Classification, both Second and First grades
will this year take the same portion of the book. With the
authorization of the Committee a set of questions has been pre-
pared covering all that seems best to be learned in those grades.
PEKMANSHIP.
The instruction in penmanship is generally good, especially in
the lower grades. Too much, and too rapid and careless writing
have, in many instances, injured the hand of scholars in the
upper grades. By far too much time is devoted to writing in
copy-books.
After a pupil knows how to form the letters, it is better to let
him develop his own individual hand- writing without restriction,
except to require strictly that he write with perfect legibility.
The ordinary writing master's hand with its fine lines, its flourish-
ing capitals, and its general illegibility, I hold to be something
to be avoided.
750 REPOET OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
In the whole matter of methods of instruction, very much
depends on the judicious supervision and assistance of prin-
cipals.
It is in the power of a competent principal to render the in-
struction in his school almost perfect in its economy of effort,
and to stop almost entirely that waste of time and power which
accompanies the work of so many teachers. To do this, demands
a great degree of thought and judgment. The indiscriminate
praise of some principals is worse than the universal fault-finding
and inconsiderate vacillation of others. A friendly, just, and in-
telligent criticism, pointing out a better way, and illustrating it
by example, will tend to reach the desired end, will increase the
working power of the teacher and raise the moral tone of the
entire school.
DISCIPLINE.
The order and attention in the classes of the Department, I
have generally found to be excellent. Indeed, in the great
majority of classes, I consider the discipline to be unexception-
able. In this connection, a high degree of praise must be
awarded to the younger teachers in the Department, who, cer-
tainly, for the most part, evince a wonderful capacity for the
government of children. And the very best among these teachers
are those who punish least. They seem to acquire an influence
over their pupils, a harmonious combination of firmness and
gentleness, which brings a class to the point where discipline,
as such, vanishes, and there is a concentration of attention and
power upon the real business of the class, the work of acquiring
and assimilating knowledge. After a good deal of consideration,
I am forced to conclude that the total abolition of corporal
punishment would be attended with good results. Even those
teachers who depend most upon it must own that it is difficult
to see any real benefit in corporal punishment. How often are
we told that such a pupil has been whipped and whipped, at
home and at school, without any good effect. A man or woman
who cannot govern children by the power of his or her mental
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 751
and moral power is unworthy the name of teacher. In the
schools of other cities, where the experiment of governing*
classes without corporal punishment has been tried, it has been
found entirely successful. It is only a matter of time, that the
practice of compelling order or attention by a resort to the inflic-
tion of physical pain will be abandoned forever.
The practice of whipping for unlearned lessons, which is yet
followed to some extent, should be strictly and totally forbidden.
A teacher who is worthy of the name will teach his pupils how
to study, and will be able to awaken an interest in their studies,
which will render all such resorts to force as unnecessary as
they are really useless and ineffective.
In some instances, the manner of the teacher towards the
pupils has seemed to me singularly unfortunate. Children are
exceedingly sensitive to anything like harshness or coldness in
older persons, especially those who are over them, and their
young hearts naturally open under the effects of kindness and
an evident interest in their welfare and improvement. It is
pleasant to observe, in most classes, a genuine harmony of action
and feeling between teacher and pupil. It is only by means of
such harmonious effort that the best results are attained.
EXAMINATIONS.
There is a marked decrease in the number and length of writ-
ten examinations which is certainly a step in the right direction,
For the first time in years, a separate examination was required
in May last, for admission to the High Schools. A somewhat
higher standard was required than for graduation from the
grammar school. A better class of juniors has justified the
change.
But the standard of scholarship and the maturity of mind requi-
site for the High Schools seem still too low. I would recom-
mend that the age of fifteen be made the limit of admission,
and that exceptions be only made in cases of unusual maturity
of mind and body and unquestioned fitness of preparation.
ABSENCE AND TARDINESS.
The extent to which these causes interfere with the progress
of pupils in the Department is enormous. The variation in the
752. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
reports from different schools show, too, that some principals
have succeeded in checking the evil to a great degree. In some
cities the number absent or tardy in each school is sent every
day to the Superintendent's office and the attendance of the
entire Department posted in a tabular form upon the walls for
public inspection. A spirit of emulation is thereby created, and
the result has shown great improvement in promptness and
regularity of attendance.
It would be a great incentive, if the Board of Education would
give special honorable certificates to all pupils who have been
punctual in attendance during the entire year or term.
The names of all such should also be published in the annual
report of the Superintendent. By such expedients, and by the
earnest efforts of principals this evil could be greatly dimin-
ished.
PROMOTIONS.
In spite of all that has been said on the subject, and of all
the efforts that have been made to amend the matter, we are
still met everywhere by the fact, that, in almost every class, are
found pupils who are not equal to the work of the grade, and
whose presence in the class is an injury to themselves and a
continual drag upon the teacher. What is the reason of this,
and how can «it be rectified ?
Pupils are promoted who are not able to do the advanced
work, and who are liable to be "put back" in a short time, to
their own discouragement and humiliation, but we are assured
that " they got the per cent, in examination." Now it seems to
me that principals and teachers should have the judgment and
the firmness to refuse to recommend such pupils for promotion,
<ind no pupils should be promoted without such recommendation.
Perhaps a greater stringency in examination and more strict-
ness in marking would improve matters; but the au wisdom of
making the written examinations the sole criterion of promotion
is fully evident. Under the present arrangement oral examin-
ations are entirely precluded. A much better result would be
secured if at least half of the examinations were oral.
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 753
COURSE OF STUDY.
It is not yet possible to judge the comparative advantages of
the new course of study. A change in the course will necessarily
be accompanied with considerable friction, especially when so
general a change of text-books goes along with it. On the
whole, the present course of study is working well; teachers are
invited, however, to make notes of amendments or alterations
which may from time to time suggest themselves. What we want
is a course of study which will stick for a term of years.
I repeat, that considering all the disturbing influences of the
year, it is a subject of congratulation that the schools have done
as good work as they have, and it is a fact which speaks volumes
in favor of the competency and faithfulness of our corps of
teachers. Let us hope that salary schedules and courses of study
and text-books may all be so arranged and settled that teachers
may heartily and happily give themselves to the quiet and reg-
ular daily work of educating to their utmost the vast number of
children under their charge.
EVENING SCHOOLS.
A careful perusal and comparison of the reports of the leading
cities and towns of the Union will show that the evening schools
of this city have not been surpassed by any in the country. It
is doubtful, even, if results of equal value have been attained
anywhere else. Under the energetic and judicious managemen t
of the late principal, the instruction was systemized and graded,
and the attendance and morale of the schools greatly improved.
A glance at the tabulated reports will show that hundreds of
young men and women, who are occupied in various avocations
during the day, resort regularly to these classes, and strive
earnestly to obtain knowledge which will increase their working
power and will help to elevate them in the world. A great mis-
take seems, however, to have been made in the recent policy of
the Board regarding the evening schools. The experiment has
been tried over and over, here and elsewhere, of excluding from
the corps of evening teachers all who are occupied in the public
schools during the day, and it has always ended disastrously.
48
754 REPORT OF THE DEPUTE SUPERINTENDENT
That the actual efficiency of our evening schools is diminished
at least 20 per cent, by this action will not be disputed by any
one who will care to investigate the facts.
Successful instruction in tbis important department of public
education requires peculiar adaptability and competency on
the part of the teacher; and this is found more frequently
among the day teachers than anywhere else. These classes will
only reach their highest efficiency when competent, experienced
male teachers are* in charge of all the classes. The young men
and ^ omen who attend these schools are in earnest — they mean
business — and the best instructor for such a class of pupils is a
man who has mixed with the currents of the world, who knows
from his own experience what will best help his pupils in their
daily life, and who has learned how to economize his time and
words, and to direct the efforts of the pupil so as to secure the
best results from his labor.
The establishment of classes for the teaching of the Spanish
language in the evening classes seems cordially to have met the
public approval. The comparatively small expenditure involved
will be returned to the city, in the near future, a thousand fold.
The great interest which has arisen with regard to our commer-
cial relations with Mexico and the other Spanish-American Re-
publics, the increasing facilities of travel and transportation in
that direction, the growing feeling in Mexico in favor of more
extended intercourse with the United States, all warrant the
hope and expectation that in a few years our city will control
much larger proportion of the trade with these republics than
is now apportioned to the whole United States. I would also
respectfully offer, for the consideration of the Board of Educa-
tion, the plan set forth in my report of 1878, for the introduc-
tion of Spanish into the day schools. Select a central school,
such as the Lincoln, and provide for instruction in Spanish, one
hour a day in one class each, of the four grammar grades. If
objection be made on the score of economy, it could be met by
dropping German and French from schools which are not
strictly cosmopolitan, as the Hayes Valley Grammar School, for
example. As a business proposition in the interest of San Fran-
cisco, it would pay to try the experiment.
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 755
I have thus endeavored to give a general idea of a year's prog-
ress of our public schools in the lice of their work. Many of
the points I have touched upon would bear a much more ex-
tended discussion. Perhaps the proper limits of this report
have already, however, been exceeded.
With the sincere hope that, by the earnest and skilful co-op-
eration of the pupils, teachers, principals, and authorities ' of
this Department, another year will present a much more favor-
able showing — this report is respectfully submitted.

COST OF THE GIRLS* HIGH SCHOOL,
As very wild statements are often made about the enormous
cost of the Girls' High School, I submit a statement of the
expense based on facts and figures- The average number of
pupils belonging to the Girls' High School, including the Nor-
mal Class, was last year, 738; the total amount paid for teachers'
salaries was $50,000; an average cost per pupil of $50 a year, or
$5.00 per month. This, of course is the cost of tuition only;
fuel and incidentals may possibly amount to $3.00 a year per
pupil in addition. Surely a tuition fee of five dollars a month,
just the cost of sending a child to a private Kindergarten, can-
not be considered an extravagant outlay for the higher education
of young women.
Fully half the graduates of the High School become teachers.
A city that desires to have good schools must provide for the
education of good teachers. A city that is not relapsing into
barbarism must, in this age of the world, maintain a High
School. The High School has become a part of the common
school system. Attempts to abolish it will be as futile as the
Caste efforts to overthrow universal suffrage. Neither the Caste
of Culture nor the Caste of Money can bring the American peo-
ple to believe that reading, writing and arithmetic are all that
"common people" ought to be taught. This question has passed
beyond the line of argument; it is an established fact.
SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS.
The accommodations for the school are lamentably insuffi-
cient. It is unfortunate that the eight junior classes have to be
put into a house a mile away from the main building. The
Powell street house is poorly situated for a High School build-
ing. Of the eight rooms, five are so small that only 30 pupils
can be crowded into a room. In a suitable house with large
rooms, six teachers could do the work that now requires eight,
762 KEPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL
which would effect a saving of $2,500 a year. The main school-
house on Bush street looks well enough externally; in its inter-
nal arrangement, it is merely a large box-trap, without any
suitability whatever for High School purposes. A new building
centrally located, ought to be erected. It need not be a costly
house. Exclusive of the lot, a plain building could be erected
for $75,000, that would accommodate the pupils for ten years to
come. As it now is, many pupils living at the Mission are prac-
tically debarred from attending the High School on account of
the great distance.
Or, if no central lot can be found large enough for a 24 class
building, then an 18 class building ought to be erected on the
Page and Gough St. lot, to accommodate the Middle and Senior
classes, using the Bush and Hyde street building for the junior
classes and the Normal School. Such a building need not cost
over $40,000.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The course of study is not a very pretentious one, nor is it
in every respect all that could be desired. But it has some good
features, and time will doubtless develop others. The High
School is merely an outgrowth of the Grammar School and the
Primary School. Its course of study and its mental status are
mainly determined by the training given in the lower depart-
ments of the school system.
The fact that two-thirds of all the pupils who enter the
Girls' High School intend to become teachers, and do teach,
after graduating, has to be taken into consideration in the
curriculum.
Without going into details, the leading purpose of the school
is to graduate young ladies with : —
1. The ability to read well and spell well.
2. A fair knowledge of English grammar.
3. Some knowledge of the meaning and use of words, of ety-
mology, and of synonyms.
4. An elementary knowledge of algebra and geometry.
5. Some knowledge of physical and political geography.
6. A general knowledge of the history of the world.
OF THE GIKLS' HIGH SCHOOL. 763
7. Some knowledge of what to read in English literature, and
how to read it.
8. The ability to express their thoughts in correct English,
gained by actual practice in composition, rather than by a study
of technical text-books on rhetoric.
9. An elementary knowledge of physics, chemistry, and
Botany .
10. Some knowledge of physiology and of the laws of health.
11. Some training in vocal culture and vocal music.
12. An elementary knowledge, for those who desire it, of
Latin, French, or German.
13. The ability to write their mother-tongue with readiness
and accuracy.
The main purpose of the school is, not to fit young women
for the State University, but to give them a substantial English
education. It is a school for educating teachers rather than a
feeder to Colleges or universities.
The number of pupils studying Latin last year was as follows:
Senior 5; Middle 50; Junior 59; Total 114. The number taking
German was: Senior 11; Middle 18; Junior 28; Total 57. The
number pursuing French was 117. Total number studying
French, German, and Latin 388. Studying Word Analysis as
an offset to a language, 412.
THE NORMAL CLASS.
There were graduated from the Normal Class last year, sev-
enty young ladies. (
The Normal Class was organized in 1876 as a post-graduate
Course for High School graduates that wished to fit themselves
to become teachers. The total number of graduates from this
department of the High School is one hundred and sixty -three,
as exhibited by the following table:

PURPOSE OF THE NORMAL CLASS.
The purpose for which the Normal Class was organ-
ized in 1876 was to prepare the High School gradu-
ates for the occupation of teaching. To educators the
need of such a class was evident ; yet the class met
at the outset with bitter and determined opposition. For
ten years it had been customary to appoint as teachers in
the primary schools the young lad}' graduates of the High
School without any pre-requisite training in the art of teaching.
A popular belief had grown up that any educated girl must of
necessity be a good teacher. Impatient parents could not wait
to have their daughters take even one year for special training
in the science of teaching. For two years it seemed a positive
disadvantage for a girl to have gone through the Normal Class.
But the class has been kept in existence, and the increasing
numbers bear witness to a change of public opinion in its favor.
There are a few taxpayers who still grumble at the expense,
but the number is not large. Last year the cost of tuition per
scholar was only $2 a month per pupil, or $20 a year. Now, the
public gain in maintaining a Normal Class is the securing of
better primary teachers. The true economy of a public school
system is in having trained and capable teachers in the primary
766 REPORT OF THE PKINCIPAL
schools. Such teachers can be secured, in the longrun; only by
Normal Schools for the education of teachers.
NEED OF A TRAINING SCHOOL.
A training school is an indispensable part of a modern Nor-
mal School. Finding it impossible to secure this during the
first three years of the Normal Class, I formed two small train-
ing classes of ten pupils each, in the unoccupied rooms of the
Powell-street building. Since the opening of the Silver-street
and Jackson-street Kindergartens, two Normal Class pupils a
week have been detailed to each school. The Kindergartens
have proved good schools of practice. Last year twenty pupils
were distributed every week among the primary schools of the
city, to be assigned by Principals to assist the teachers of large
classes. The Normal School has now reached a period of de-
velopment when a regular training school of at least four classes
ought to be established. Such a school will cost no more than
any other primary school, and there is no reason except blind
and obstinate prejudice, why it should not be immediately es-
tablished. An experimental class, including children from 5
to 6 years of age, has been opened in connection with the Jack-
son-street Kindergarten, in charge of M ss V ndenberg, a for-
mer pupil of the Normal Class, and a graduate of Miss Marwe-
deFs Kindergarten Normal School. In .is class the children
continue the more practical parts of Kindergarten work, com-
bined with reading, writing, and numbers. The class is a bril-
liant success in every respect, and I hope that several similar
classes may be formed during the coming year. To each of
these classes a Normal pupil can be assigned as an assistant pu-
pil teacher.
The sooner the machine wTork of the lower grade primary
classes is modified by Kindergarten methods the better will it
be for the children. But this can be done only by teachers trained
in the business. Neither untrained University graduates nor un-
trained High School graduates can do it.
EECOGNITION OF NORMAL SCHOOL DIPLOMAS.
It is now four years since the City Normal class was estab-
lished; but no Board of Education has yet recognized the Di-
OP THE GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL. 76 T
plornas by issuing on them legal certificates. During all this
time the Diplomas of the State Normal School have been recog-
nized by first Grade certificates. As a result of this discrimina-
tion against our own graduates, we have been compelled to take
the time that, should have been devoted to methods of teaching,
to reviewing studies in preparation for examinations in order to
secure certificates.
Now the full course of the State Normal School is three years;
in the Girls' High School and Normal Class the course is for
four years. There is no material difference in the curriculum of
the two schools. It is time now to rectify this manifest injus-
tice.

768 KEPOKT OF THE PKINCIPAL
EEPOBT OF PRINCIPAL OF BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL.
BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL, )
November 2, 1880. f
Mr. JOHN W. TAYLOR, Superintendent of Public Schools :
I have the honor of herewith submitting my third annual
report.
I have frequently been led to question the value to the com-
munity of reports of schools, other than statistical when
written by their principals. I am confident that they are
read by few, and I do not believe that they have any appreciable
weight with that few. As a rule, people are little interested in
what principals say in print about their schools. They prefer,
and as I think, wisely, to judge of a school by what it does, for
it is one thing to say what a good school should be, and quite
another to make such a school. The friends and those who
would willingly become friends of a school, get their impressions
from other sources than the reports of principals, and no amount
of claimed or proved excellence would in the slightest degree
influence the enemies of free High School education. Their
enmity is fundamental. They do not object to High School
education because it is poor, but because it is good, and the bet-
ter the education the stronger their objection. They believe, on
the one hand, in an absolute limitation of education, for they
feel that their interests and the interests which they represent,
will be best served by an ignorant following, and on the other,
that it is not desirable that the mass of the people should have
freely extended to them educational advantages that will enable
the capable among them to become the intellectual equal of the
most favored in the land.
OF THE BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL. 769
I shall then say what little I have to say, with a feeling that
it would not be likely to receive consideration even if it deserved
it.
No one, I presume, will question the statement that our schools
should serve the two main purposes of securing good mental
training, including the acquisition of information, and of form-
ing high moral character, including whatever tends to prepare
the boy to become an honest, fair-minded and industrious mem-
ber of the community, ready to the best of his ability to do
whatever his hands find to do.
As regards the manner in which the strictly educational part
of our work is done, I am glad to have little to say: I simply
refer to the record of boys who have graduated from the school,
and who have passed with much distinction the most searching
examinations in the country adapted to High School graduates.
As regards the influence of the school in the formation of
character, I shall have to speak more fully than I could wish,
but the importance of the matter warrants my stating what seem
to me to be facts, even at the risk of being accused of giving the
result of our own work undue praise.
Though the primary object of the schools is presumed to be
mental training and the acquisition of knowledge, yet I cannot
but feel that it would be better that our schools should not exist
than that they should fail to do much in the way of building up
stable characters. It is certainly a matter of great gratification
to me to feel, as I do, that there is in the school a healthful
spirit of earnest work, but I feel with infinitely greater satis-
faction that our boys are steadily growing in manliness. There
are, of course, in the school, lazy and trifling boys and boys not
to be depended upon, boys who do mentally only what they are
made to do and morally only what they feel it to be to their in-
terest to do, but I have never been connected with a school in
which there seemed to me to be a better general mental and
m©ral atmosphere among the pupils. Straight-forward, frank
conduct is the rule, meanness the exception.
I am led to pay this just tribute to the boys of this school, in
order to correct an idea that has long held the minds of some of
the best people in the community, that the tone of the public
49
770 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL
schools is so low as to make them unsafe for well brought up
boys. I am led to hope that my faith in the trustworthiness and
manly conduct of the boys, as a body, is coming to be shared by
a portion at least of the community, for the school is constantly
receiving an increasing number of pupils from the most thought-
ful and earnest families in the city, families who wish for their
boys associates of gentlemanly instincts and gentlemanly bring-
ing up.
It can hardly be necessary for me to say how much I am in-
debted, for whatever of &ood and efficiency there is in the school,
to my fellow-teachers. I am certainly fortunate in being associ-
ated with men whose views on school matters are so seldom at
variance with my own, and who give me such hearty co-operation,
I regret that their efficiency is no security against constant and
too often well-founded alarm regarding their salaries. Schools
that are good cannot long continue good, and bad schools are
not likely to be permanently bettered if no inducements are
offered to promising young men to enter upon teaching as a life
work. If a man can never hope for wealth in a calling which
requires special education, he should certainly, if successful,
feel secure in having continued to him a fairly respectable liv-
ing— an assurance which our teachers hardly carry with them
from one meeting of the Board to another.
Since my last report some changes have been made in the
course of study. The classical course has been lengthened a
year, and much improved by the introduction of a course in
English. It cannot be necessary to justify by argument a change
so obviously for the better. We shall in future be able to send
boys to the University better prepared and with less pressure
than we have, heretofore had to put upon them during their
preparation.
It will be noticed that the study of technical English Gram-
mar has been dropped from the English course. It is believed
to be more important that pupils should have some actual knowl-
edge of good English by daily meeting with it, and that they
should learn to speak and write correctly by actual contact with
the works of good writers and good speakers, than that they
should spend their time in learning what good English would be
if they should ever happen to meet with it.
OF THE BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL. 771
A further attempt has been made to adapt our course of study
more to the needs of the future citizen than to those of the
student or the scholar. It is certainly well that we should send
out boys well trained mentally, but it is better that they
should go out with a fuller knowledge of the history of our
country than they get in our Grammar Schools, and with some
knowledge, however elementary, of the principles and methods
of our government and of the ordinary economic laws regarding
the production and distribution of wealth and the relations of
labor and capital. The adoption of an advanced text-book on
United States History and a Manual of Civil Government in-
stead of a condensed outline of general history, and the contin-
uation of the study of the elements of Political Economy will,
it is hoped, do much toward acquainting boys with the princi-
ples of good citizenship and inclining them to right ways of
thinking and acting on matters relating to the public good.
I have never felt that either the history or the literature of
any country could be properly or very profitably studied with-
out directing the attention of the student to contemporary
events of great importance in other nations, and to the culture
of the time as shown in the literary productions of contempo-
rary writers. I have therefore prepared a temporary and very
imperfect syllabus of Greek and Roman History, and also of
English History, English Literature, and United States History,
wrhich will, I hope, serve in some manner to give unity to the
p'apil's knowledge, and method to his study, of those subjects.
Much attention has this year been given to reading and writ-
ing, and to the spelling of such words as are found in the text-
books in use. I am glad to say that reading in the school,
though still poor, has much improved.
The course of study will indicate what we are trying to do in
other respects than those above mentioned. We follow as
faithfully as may be, and as thoroughly -as we can, the work there
laid down.
As regards this school, I must express great regret that the
promotion and graduation per cent, has been fixed at 75. It
will work an absolute injury to the scholarship of the school, or
do great injustice to a large number of pupils. If a boy re-
ceives 75 per cent, for work done in an average manner, he is
772 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL
likely to rest content with average work, and the more so be-
cause the best scholar in the class, even if he should receive a
perfect mark, can only excel him, who is barely promoted, by
twenty-five per cent. , a difference certainly too slight between a
very bright and thorough scholar and one who barely passes.
A mark of 60 per cent. , given by a careful teacher who insists
on accuracy, indicates and will secure better scholarship than a
mark of 75 per cent, given with reference to promotion, rather
than with reference to absolute scholarship. It is well known
that in some of our best colleges the promotion per cent, is
about 50.
The reason assigned for raising the per cent. , that there has
been a disposition among some teachers in the department to
mark their pupils up and thus secure a large percentage of pro-
motion, does'not at all apply to this school, for the reason that
every class in the school is marked by several teachers and no
teacher is particularly interested in the promotion of any partic-
ular class; and even if he were, he could not materially influ-
ence their promotion, for he has their markiDg only in bis par-
ticular subject. And so, too, even if a teacher were disposed to
mark a class with too great severity, he could do no great injus-
tice.
I, therefore, most earnestly recommend that the promotion
per cent, in this school be fixed at 70, If pupils are held to
great accuracy in their recitations, as they should be if we are to
make careful students of them, 70 is a high per cent. , perhaps
too high.
I think that it was a mistake to set one standard for gradua-
tion from the Grammar Schools and an entirely different one for
admission to the High School. The High School is but a con-
tinuation of the Grammar School, and the classes in the High
School are but the upper classes in our common school system.
An effort is now being made, and it seems to me to be a very
praiseworthy one, to bring the High School and the University
into closer relations. In a State having a State University, con-
sistency would seem to call for an unbroken connection from the
University to the lowest grade in the Primary School. Our sys-
tem should be compacted and not disjointed.

COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOLS. 777
REPORT ON COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOLS.
J. W. TAYLOR, ESQ., Superintendent of Public Schools,
City and County of San Francisco :
DEAR SIR — Herewith I have the pleasure of handing you the
desired report on the Cosmopolitan Schools. While complying
with your request, I am compelled to remark, that I am hardly
qualified to make a report on all the Cosmopolitan Schools, as I
have not visited any Cosmopolitan classes since August, 1879,
except those in my own school, twenty in number.
It is true, you authorized me within the last month to visit all
Cosmopolitan classes and report upon them, but, in the first
place, such a visit at the beginning of the term can do but little
good, as results cannot be shown before the end of the school
year; secondly, I did not feel justified in spending a number of
days away from my own school. I have, however, carefully col-
lected the most interesting statistics from all the schools in which
German and French are taught, and these statistical data are
reliable.
The number of Cosmopolitan Schools, meaning those schools
in which instruction in German or French is given, or in both of
these languages, is now reduced to six — three Grammar and
three Primary schools. These are the South Cosmopolitan
Grammar School, the North Cosmopolitan Grammar, the Hayes
Valley Grammar, the Post street Primary, the Bush street Pri-
mary, and the Greenwich street Primary. In the Valencia street
Grammar School, the instruction in French and German was
discontinued during the last year, and in consequence the num-
ber of special teachers diminished by two .
In the South Cosmopolitan Grammar School 835 pupils study
778 REP OUT OF THE
German and 174 French; in the North Cosmopolitan Grammar
School 203 German, and 128 French; in the Hayes Valley
Grammar School 204 German, and 15 French; in the Post street
Primary 369 German; in the Bush street Primary 234 German
and 121 French, and in the Greenwich street Primary 220 Ger-
man.
This makes a grand total of 2065 pupils studying German,
and 438 studying French. There are altogether 67 classes in
which German or French is taught; 44 of these are taught by
special teachers, and 23 by class-teachers holding German or
French certificates.
Before the year 1878, the total expense for the instruction in
German and French in the Grammar and Primary schools
amounted to $21,120 per annum. During that year it was
reduced to $11,700, chiefly owing to the appointment of teachers
with double certificates in the primary classes; and now, as there
are only eight special teachers, whose average salary is $68 a
month, the total expense of teaching 2503 children French and
German, amounts to about $544 a month, or $6528 a year. So
much for the expensive Cosmopolitan schools, which actually
swallow up between 21 and 22 cents a month for every child that
learns German or French.
This expense might be still further reduced, if every vacancy
occurring in a Cosmopolitan Primary School was filled by ap-
pointing a teacher with a German or French certificate. Two
years ago it seemed to be the intention to proceed on the plan of
providing a teacher with two certificates for every Cosmopolitan
Primary class, and why this plan was abandoned, I cannot tell;
perhaps the new teachers with only one certificate were more
influential.
Twenty-three Cosmopolitan classes are at present taught by
class-teachers, and from my knowledge of most of them, I have
no doubt that thej are performing faithful and efficient work.
Among a large class of people the idea seems still to prevail,
that the Cosmopolitan schools are established exclusively for the
benefit of German and French children. If that were so, the
objections against them would have some foundation.
It is true that the German and French elements of our popu-
COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOLS. 779
lation avail themselves more of the advantages offered by these
schools, but, nevertheless, 639 pupils out of the 2503, who are
at present studying foreign languages, are the children of Amer-
ican parents. Whether this can be considered sufficient popu-
larity to warrant the extra expenditure alluded to above, is not
for me to determine. Still, I should like to see the expense of
the Cosmopolitan schools slightly increased, by remunerating
the special teachers of German and French a little better for
their labors
These teachers receive at present the average salary of the
grades in which they teach. This is unfair. The classes cannot
be all first grades, and if a teacher has to teach first, second,
third, fourth and fifth grades, he only receives the average salary
of five class-teachers, although qualified to teach and actually
teaching the highest. The highest salary that at present is paid
to any of the German or French special teachers, is $12 50 a
month, and the lowest in the neighborhood of $60.
Now, we pay the special teachers of book-keeping $150, and
the drawing and music teachers $135 a month. There used to
be a distinction in the salaries of the latter, giving those teach-
ing grammar grades a higher salary, but as they wisely arranged
their classes so that each teaches Grammar and Primary grades,
they all got the higher compensation. If this system is recog-
nized in the case of the music teachers, why not also in the case
of the special teachers in German and French ?
Book-keeping (I am far from wishing to depreciate its import-
ance) is an art, which can be learned by any person, possessing
average intelligence, in less than three months; the amount of
theoretical music required in the Primary and Grammar Schools
can be mastered by any one gifted with a voice and an ear, in a
year, or considerably less. Drawing requires longer time, and
so does a language. Both need long preparation and practice,
and I should therefore consider that the salaries of the teachers
of these branches should be more proportionate to their import-
ance and to the pay of other special teachers.
In my last year's report I laid great stress on the necessity
of having a Cosmopolitan Primary School within a reasonable
distance of my own school. This is important for the following
780 BEPOKT OF THE
reasons: In my own school, which is by far the largest Cos-
mopolitan School, and where the present enrollment is 1087
pupils, 1009 study either German or French. Out of 20 classes
there are no less than 14 in which every pupil studies either of
these languages. The course of instruction in German and
French is so arranged that it commences with the seventh grade,
and the pupils, after completing the primary grades, are supposed
to continue their studies in the nearest Grammar School.
Now the nearest Cosmopolitan Primary School to this school is
fourteen blocks off, on Post street near Dupont, and many chil-
dren, after passing through the primary grades, have no Gram-
mar school near enough in which they can continue their German;
in consequence many drop it entirely, rather than walk so far,
and their previous instruction in German is completely lost.
The Bush Street Primary and the Post Street Primary are
within two blocks of each other, and there is really no reason
why all the cosmopolitan instruction should not be given in one
of them, and the other one removed to a locality more con-
venient to feed the grammar classes of my own school. I was
in hopes that, when the new school on Tyler street near Hyde
was finished, it would be made a Cosmopolitan Primary, which
would have enabled me to draw from it for my grammar classes;
but, as it was not done, I am still obliged to supply my fourth
grades from many English primary schools, much to the detri-
ment of my own German and French classes, as many of these
new arrivals want to study German or French, and find after-
wards that they are unable to keep up. I generally manage to
accommodate them by establishing an elementary class in the
fourth grade, but this expedient only helps for one year, as
these pupils during the next year are not able to keep up in the
third grade, and become a drag to their classes ever afterwards.
If it were not for these and other inconveniences, the general
progress would no doubt be vastly superior, but, nevertheless,
the work done is as good as it can be under the circumstances.
The celebrated German poet and linguist, F. von Bodenstedt,
recently visited my school, and expressed his surprise at the
progress made by the pupils in German and French. An
American girl in one of my first grades translated to him at
COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOLS. 781
sight one of his own poems, and this translation and a few reci-
tations gave him the highest satisfaction.
At the commencement of the school year it frequently hap-
pens in my school, that one grade or the other is particularly
crowded. So, for instance, I had. last July, 135 pupils in the
first grade, too maii3r for two classes and not enough for three,
After filling two first grade classes with 60 pupils each, I had a
surplus of 15 pupils, who did not study German or French, and
with whom I did not know what to do. To make up a mixed
first and second grade, or, in fact, any mixed grade, is all but
an impossibility in my school, as no teacher can in four hours
daily teach the English course of two grades. To meet such
cases, I had, in former years, instructions from the Committee on
Classification, to transfer such surplus pupils to their nearest
English school; and, in cases of this kind, it is but fair that
those pupils who do not study German or French, should, in
the Cosmopolitan Schools make room for those who do. At the
commencement of the present school year, I had similar instruc-
tions, but they were subsequently recalled, and by these means,
an injustice was done to a number of pupils, to favor one, who
did not like to be transferred. Care should be taken that the
greatest benefit should result to the greatest number. It is a
very small inconvenience for a boy or a girl, who lives near a
Cosmopolitan School, and does not study German or French, to
walk a few blocks further to another school, while it is a great
hardship for a child that would be willing to walk a long distance
for the sake of learning German or French, to be deprived of
the opportunity. Such cases often occur where pupils cannot
be admitted for want of room, while pupils, not studying Ger-
man and French, and not caring for the languages, occupy their
place. My opinion is, that in the event of a vacancy occurring,
for which there are two applicants, the seat should be given
rather to a pupil residing at a distance of ten or twelve blocks,
if he wants to study German or French, than to one living half
a block away, and not wishing to study either language. I
have repeatedly spoken about the neccessity which exists for a
supervision of all the cosmopolitan classes, chiefly for the sake
of bringing about an uniformity of teaching which a mere
782
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
printed Course of Instruction will never effect. There should
be periodical inspections and examinations of classes, or else
how is it possible to judge of the work done and the progress
accomplished ? All the cosmopolitan classes should be visited
by a competent inspector at least twice a year, if not oftener,
and should be carefully and uniformly examined at the end of
every school year. In again urging this point, I do so because
I am convinced that it is for the good of the cosmopolitan
schools, as you are all well aware that I have no personal inter-
est to serve in this matter.
In conclusion, I append a tabulated statement showing the
number of pupils, classes &c., in all of the Cosmopolitan schools.

OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 783
SECONDARY EDUCATION.
The secondary branches of education offer an interesting- field
of study. It is held in the outset that it is absolutely necessary
to maintain efficient High Schools, in order to secure a proper
system of Common School education. The avowal is made in
the beginning, because there is no half-way ground for the
friends of that branch of education to take.
The High School is the natural avenue leading from the ele-
mentary school-room to the University. It should be kept open
for all — not merely open for the few.
The conviction that High Schools are essential does not come
from observations made in one locality, or from one country or
from the study of results in any one school . It comes from a
study of results in many cities of various nationalities. The
conviction is founded, moreover, on the aggregate judgment of
the best educators in the land. The High School is a link in
the chain of education for the common people. The original
idea of Common Schools was something like this.
The State must be preserved, and to the end of its preserva-
tion schools must be established. The dangers which threaten
institutions of government lurk in the masses of the ignorant;
therefore, as a measure of safety we will educate the young peo-
ple, we will spread knowledge throughout the land, and so stim-
ulate intellectual and moral growth .
The poor man, being unable to pay for tuition for his children,
shall have education imparted free of expense. Then came the
question "Shall we educate one class of people at the ex-
pense of the State, and demand tuition from another?"
The problem was solved by opening the door of the Common
Schools to all children, rich and poor, who desired to enter.
784 EEPOET OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
This decision was founded upon the principle that the blessings
as well as the burdens of free government should fall alike on
all classes. The establishment of Primary Schools, where read-
ing, writing and arithmetic were taught, followed. In some
States, children were allowed to enter free. In others, the tuition
was placed very low. Many people then took the ground which
some now take, that this was a charity bestowed by the State on the
deserving poor; in other words, a gift from, the wealthy tax-
payer to the poor laborer.
There never was a greater mistake. The State simply said
"We give education free, and in exchange will receive that in-
estimable advantage which conies from enlightened citizenship.
In return for our free schools, we will displace the ignorant and
advance the intelligent." The governing principle of education
is not misstated in the foregoing. Free education was never
felt to be a charity; it was simply an investment which was ex-
pected to produce good citizens, and so contribute to the happi-
ness, prosperity and stability of our free institutions . There is
only one ground that can be fairly and intelligently taken by all
supporters of free education, and it rests here; if primary edu-
cation advances, the community one step in prosperity and
happiness, secondary education will advance it another.
University education will produce the highest type of citizen-
ship, and the recognition of that idea is founded in the land
endowment of colleges by the Government and legacies left by
progressive men to universities.
The opponents of High Schools — and they are legion — assert
that the obligation of the State ends when it provides means
whereby each child may be taught how to read, write and cipher.
They proclaim that the foundation of education rests in the three
B's, and that anything further is an elegant accomplishment.
That argument, retraced to its groundwork and advanced to its
logical conclusion, would imply that the simple teaching of the
alphabet was the extent of the State's duty, and that anything
more was superfluous.
Imagine the result if the State provided no education for the
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 785
masses of school children beyond that which the Primary and
Grammar Schools afford ! The condition of affairs resulting would
practically debar the children of the poor from educational fields.
•A young man, whose parents were in poor circumstances,
would leave the Grammar Schools with his education unfinished,
to earn a living in the paths of mechanical or clerical labor.
The rich man, to whom the cost of higher education for his
son is of the slightest consequence, would educate his boy for
one of the professional pursuits.
It would be better, perhaps, if the ranks of professional men
were diminished and the ranks of hard-working classes in-
creased, but that does not weigh against the right of any one to
have a chance to compete fairly for his position in the world.
The assumption here is that the State should freely give the
children of the poor, and also the children of the rich, the bene-
fits of the best education. This proposition rests on the basis of
common fairness.
Some men will say that the poor man's children will be with-
drawn from schools whenever they become old enough to earn
anything to support themselves. Every observation disputes
that assertion; the poor man has always been, and will forever
remain, the truest champion of popular education. He educates
his children as long as there is a morsel of bread in his house.
The term " poor men " is used to distinguish the middle classes
from the wealthy — the classes who pay taxes for the maintenance
of Government. It does not follow that the rich are opposed to
common schools, but the foes of education are generally found
in the ranks of rich men.
The American aristocracy — composed of the ignorant who
have acquired wealth by accident, and who are too indolent to
spend it — affect to despise our common schools, and manifest
the spite of resentment by sending their children to academies,
where polite accomplishments, such as easy and graceful man-
ners, are held to be more desirable than intellectual and moral
worth. This class, however, is small, and their influence is on
the wane.
Another line of thought in connection with higher education
reaches the material prosperity of a city. School advantages of
50
786 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
a high order attract to a city the people of the best class. San
Francisco schools bear an excellent reputation. The educational
facilities afforded make the city a desirable place of residence.
The situation of San Francisco in this respect is peculiar.
Many men, whose business in mining, farming or mercantile
pursuits call them to the mountains and valleys, select this city
as their place of abode, because our common schools are of the
best. They make homes in our midst — they become, in fact,
citizens of our city and promoters of our national prosperity.
It has been well said that the High School elevates and gives
character to a community. It makes the city attractive to the
better class of citizens, who may be seeking a home, and thus
serves to introduce those who are of worth, to the pecuniary,
mental and moral gain of the community.
^The latest work, published a few months since, on The Law
of Public Schools, is a volume from the pen of Finley Burke, of
Iowa. It carries the endorsement of Hon. John F. Dillon,
author of " Dillon on Municipal Corporations/' and Joseph M.
Beck, Judge of the Supreme Court of Iowa. They certify that
the legal doctrines are correct, and sustain the rules announced
in the test.
In this volume a case in the Michigan Supreme Court is cited.
The question of whether there exists any authority to make High
Schools free by taxation levied on the people at large, was fairly
and fully raised, and the argument urged that, while there may
be no Constitutional provision expressly prohibiting such taxa-
tion, the general cause of legislation in the State and the gen-
eral understanding of the people have been such as to require
the Courts to regard instruction in the classics and in living
modern languages in these High Schools as in the nature, not
of practical, and therefore necessary, instruction for the people
at large, but rather as accomplishments for the few, to be sought
after in the main by thosa most able to pay for them, and to be
paid for by those who seek them, and not by general tax ; and
that therefore the Courts ought to declare such, taxation incom-
petent. After having full argument the Court decided that such
taxation was proper and lawful (Stuart v. School District, etc.,
30 Mich., 69).
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 787
There are many after decisions in which the power to vote and
grant money by taxation for the support of Grammar Schools,
High Schools and Normal Schools has been liberally construed
in favor of such institutions. Indeed, it seems practically to
have been adopted as a rule by the Courts that the law shall be
liberally construed in aid of such objects. In an early Massa-
chusetts case it was decided that money used for the support of
a Girls' High School, for the purpose of teaching bookkeeping,
algebra, geometry, history, rhetoric, mental, moral and natural
philosophy, the Latin and French languages, and other higher
branches, was lawfully raised by taxation.
The great historian of the United States says: "In these
measures — especially in the laws establishing common schools —
lies the secret of the success and character of New England.
Every child, as it was born into the world, was lifted from the
earth by the genius of the country, and in the statutes of the
land received, as its birthright, a pledge of the public care for its
morals and its mind. "
As early as 1636, provision was made in Massachusetts for a
Public School, which, two years later, receiving a bequest from
John Harvard, was called Harvard College.
In 1647 it was ordained in all the Puritan Colonies, ' ' To the
end that learning may not be buried in the graves of our fore-
fathers, that every township, after the Lord hath increased them
to the number of fifty householders, shall appoint one to teach
all children to read and write; and where any town shall increase
to the number of one hundred females, they shall set up a
Grammar School, the masters thereof being able to instruct the
youth, as far as they may be fitted, for the University."
It seems, from the foregoing, that the necessity of High School
education was recognized when the colonies were in their in-
fancy.
High School education finds its staunchest advocates among
men who have given the subject the widest investigation.
All over the civilized world, the most profound thinkers on
social problems, and those who are foremost in supporting all
measures which tend to elevate the people, place a very high
value on institutions of secondary instruction, by which is meant
788 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
the grades which lie between the Grammar Schools and the Col-
lege.
Matthew Arnold, some time ago, contributed to the " Fort-
nightly Review " a paper in which he compared the Educational
system of Great Britain with that of France, greatly to the dis-
advantage of the former. He estimates that only twenty thou-
sand boys attend secondary schools in Great Britain, whilst in
France the number reaches one hundred and sixty thousand.
In his judgment, the ample provision made for High School edu-
cation is what makes France prosperous and progressive, that
not only is the great middle class benefited, but also the ben-
efits extend to ail the lower classes, giving the country a peas-
antry far superior to any other in Europe.
The last annual report of the State Board of Education of
Connecticut, in dealing with the question of High Schools,
says: " Peruse the course of study in these high schools;
think of those children of workmen passing four or five years,
in adorning, strengthening and cultivating their min^s by
studies that are elsewhere reserved for the well-to-do classes,
and tell us if these institutions do not bear the seal and impress
of American civilization ? Need one be astonished, then, at the
frank pride with which the American citizen speaks of these
schools ? Has he not the right to be proud, when, by sure
documentary evidence, he shows us the son and the daughter of
the humblest artisan so mentally elevated that between them
and the privileged of fortune no difference of culture and no
trace of inferiority may be discovered."
High Schools open up no special pursuit — they lead to all
pursuits without exception, and without distinction. They are
not professional schools, but are common schools, giving the
common people the best, purest, and loftiest results of liberal
education.
It has been said in the report above mentioned, that they do
not make an engineer, an architect, or a physician, any more
than they make an artisan or a merchant; but they do form
bright and intelligent young men and women, trained to studies
of every kind, and qualified to select for themselves among the
various professions, and fitted to succeed therein. At the same
time an effort is made to impress upon their minds
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 789
THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.
If there is a tendency at the present time to despise manual
labor; if to labor with one's hands is considered degrading, the
conception and growth of the idea is chargeable to the parents,
not to the schools.
A copy of the following Circular was sent to every teacher in
our school department:
[CIRCULAR No. 16.1
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF COMMON SCHOOLS,
SAN FRANCISCO, August llth, 1880.
To the Class Teachers:
Let your constant study be to instil into the minds of the
children under your care, this manifest truth:
Employment leads to happiness, indolence to misery. The
child who is not taught to respect labor, is not properly taught.
Let a good part of your Oral Instruction be about the men
who fell the trees in the forests, manufacture lumber, and build
houses; who till the soil, work in the mines, and shovel coal;
who build railroads, dig ditches, and repair the streets; who
catch fish, herd cattle and sheep, and prepare meat for market;
who manufacture wagons, furniture, and kitchen utensils; who
make our boots, shoes, and clothing; in brief, teach your chil-
dren that every art and trade by which a person can earn an
honest livelihood, is honorable; teach them that the men and
women who do the most good in the world, are those who work;
they are the persons who keep the wheels of industry moving
and supply the necessities of mankind. Teach them that to be
idle is a disgrace — to labor is honorable.
The woman who does the work in the house is more to be
honored than she who sits with folded hands; the man who
sweeps the streets performs a more honorable part in life than
he who spends his time in idleness.
" Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act well your part — there all the honor lies."
790 KEPOKT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
Teach them that they are being educated, not that they may
escape labor but that they may labor, intelligently; that educa-
tion does not relieve them from their duties and labors of life,
but makes their duties more apparent and their labors less bur-
densome. If you pursue this course, you will find that the chil-
dren will take a lively interest in these subjects, and your efforts
will be blessed with good results.
You, more than any other person, possess the power to in-
culcate in the minds of children a respect for wrork. They im-
plicitly follow in the track in which you lead. Their faith in
you is steadfast. How many of their childish disputes are con-
clusively settled by " I know it is so, for my teacher told me.'
Your words and example leave an impression on their minds
which remains through life. Take advantage of this great
power to turn their early thoughts in the right direction.
I am aware that your responsibility is great, your labors man-
ifold and your burdens heavy. Do not become discouraged;
constant labor overcomes all difficulties.
" Precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line
upon line,' line upon line; here a little and there a little."
Commence your work bravely, pursue it cheerfully and you
will end it triumphantly.
JOHN W. TAYLOK,
Superintendent.
The suggestions made in this circular have been and are now
being carried out faithfully in all our schools.
That there is a tendency to avoid labor is no argument for
keeping the people in ignorance; intelligent and properly edu-
cated people do not despise labor.
In replenishing the middle classes with young people of in-
telligence, the High Schools contribute largely to the prosperity
of the whole country.
It has been truly said that the prosperity of a republic is in
the direct ratio of the replenishment of its middle classes.
While our High Schools serve the purpose of preparatory
schools for those who wish to enter the University, they are
something more .
It is their mission to impart the best education possible un-
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 791
der the circumstances for the vast number of boys and girls who
go at once from the school-room to the active duties of life, but
if the only purpose of these schools were to prepare the pupil's
way to college, they could not do the work better, than it is now
done. "No system of Education" says Hurley, "is worthy the
name, unless it creates a great educational ladder, with one end
on the gutter, and the other on the University."
Edward Everett said: "I will thank any person to tell why it
is expedient and beneficial in a community to make public pro-
vision for teaching the elements of learning, and not expedient
and beneficial to make similar provision to aid, the learner's pro-
gress towards the mastery of the most difficult branches of
science, and the choicest refinements of literature."
John Adams, in his work on government says: "Laws for the
liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of peo-
ple are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and gen-
erous mind, no expense for the purpose would be thought
extravagant. "
Madison says: "Every class is interested in establishments
which give to the human mind its highest improvements.
Learned institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free
people . They throw that light over the public mind which is
the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on
the public liberty."
The founders of our government readily perceived that insti-
tutions of freedom could not rest securely on popular ignorance.
The public support of High Schools, wherein the youth of the
land may be taught the arts of peace and the duties of civil life,
is based on the same principle, and sustained by -the same cause
of argument, as the governmental support of Army and Navy
schools.
P. Emery Aldrich, in an address before the Massachusetts
•State Teachers Association, said on this topic: "Every commu-
nity of men, organized under any form of government, needs and
must have individuals educated and competent to administer its
civil as well as its military affairs, and this is eminently true
under such a government as ours, 'a government of the people,
by the people, and for the people,' where every state, county t
<;ity, town and school district in the land, requires educated men
792 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
to assume important places of trust and responsibility, and to
conduct with intelligence the infinitely complicated affairs of such
a popular government. And shall it be said that a government
thus needing for its own existence and successful administration,
educated men, cannot lawfully and without injustice provide
schools for the necessary education and training of such men ?
* * * It is too late to deny that superior education is neces-
sary to the State, and it is precisely on this ground of State
necessity, that the grants to, and public support of schools should
be made and given, and not on the ground that they are mere
benefactors to the grantees."
The statistics compiled in Eastern cities regarding the parent-
age of children attending the High Schools, disprove the asser-
tion so frequently made that only the wealthy patronize schools-
of this grade.
On the contrary, an examination of all the state and city re-
ports at hand, which represent nearly every section of the
Union, proves, beyond the shadow of doubt, that the children of
mechanics, tradesmen, and laborers attend the High Schools in
a ratio equal to their attendance of the Grammar Schools.
If the opposition in certain quarters to the liberal maintenance
of High Schools should take on the character of a warfare
against the secondary system of education, the main strength
and support of the system would be drawn from the ranks of the
poor. They are naturally the friends of the High School, and
would be first to defend it. Again, in speaking of the poor, tax-
payers are not excluded. The poor, in this sense, simply means
people of moderate circumstances, some of whom own their
own homes, and others who live comfortably in rented houses.
If they are not on the assessment roll, they pay their just share,
and in many cases more than their just proportion, of the cost
of government, and no one in this age, or in this community, can
successfully question their right to be heard on every subjec
touching the character of our Common Schools .
One objection to the High School system is its expense. The
objection has some weight, but that arises mainly from extrava-
gance in the construction of buildings. The desire for handsome
edifices and all modern interior conveniences and superb orna-

mentation outside, has made the High School system very ex-
pensive in some of the smaller cities. San Francisco has not
been notably extravagant in the matter of school buildings. The
expense of maintaining schools has been increased by the re-
quirements, from year to year, of additional school accommo-
dations. In this respect, San Francisco differs from Boston,
Philadelphia, and other old established cities of the Atlantic
Coast, where the increase of population during the past ten
years has not been very great.
Since the census of 1870, there has been a gain of fifty per
cent, in our population. From 1870 to 1878, the city grew with
marvelous rapidity. A constant expenditure of money to erect
new buildings, establish new classes, and employ more teachers
has been demanded every year, and the demand still exists.
TEACHERS.
The teachers in our schools are doing more good work for the
city and state than any other class of persons. They are training
and molding the minds of the men and women of the future.
They stand in loco parentis for six hours of the day. Their
relations with the pupils are intimate. The pupils believe in the
teachers, and think they can do no wrong. The mind and char-
acter of the teacher becomes a part of the mind and character of
the pupil. The teacher leaves an impress on the mind of the
child which lasts through life. We of riper years look back
with love and veneration upon those who trained our youthful
minds, and guided our thoughts and energies in the right direc-
tion. The city and state cannot protect with too much care, nor
reward too generously, that zealous corps of persons who are la-
boring so faithfully and earnestly for the benefit and advan-
tage of our children. The highest remuneration which can be
paid is not an equivalent for the good work they are doing.
The teachers are the schools. The finest buildings which the ar-
chitect can plan, the best furniture which money can purchase,
the best books which the mind and genius of men can produce,
amount to naught without a good teacher. The good teacher
does not require all these appliances to produce a good scholar;
but in a poor building, without even books, charts and globes,
794 KEPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
will develop the minds of the children, leading them along, step
by step, smoothing in advance the intricate paths of learning.
The time is not far distant when the profession of teaching
will be looked upon as the most honorable and noble. In it is
the greatest field for the display of genius. "We do not want
the failures from the other professions . The time was when he
who could not earn a living at anything else went to teaching,
but that day, thank God, is rapidly passing away, and we have
now the satisfaction of seeing our brightest young men and
women preparing themselves for this great work.
If the time ever comes when Boards of Education and School
Trustees will appoint the teachers who are best qualified in
learning, ability, and experience, and not from friendship, polit-
ical or religious preferences, then will the schools prosper best,
and children be more thoroughly educated. In this city, the
teacher, irrespective of qualifications and experience, provided
he or she hold a certificate, who can bring the most pressure to
bear on the Board of Education, is almost sure of the appoint-
ment. The Directors seem to forget or lose sight of the fact
that they were elected to watch over the interests of the schools,
and not to serve their friends — and themselves. The interests of
the schools should be considered first, the serving of friends sec-
ond. And yet, the Directors are not altogether to blame ; the
pressure for place and the importuning of friends are almost ir-
resistible. The pleas of poverty, orphanage, religious and so-
cial ties, relationship, political services — past or to come — are
showered upon the Directors. Promises of patronage in busi-
ness by the friends of the applicant, of undying love, adoration
and devotion, by both, are made.
The applicants who understand the business, and they are
frequently incompetent in all that goes to make up a good
teacher, will set to work systematically to capture the Board of
Education, and if the field of acquaintances is sufficiently large,
will generally succeed . The Directors will be besieged by the
clergymen and deacons of their churches, by letters from the
Governor and members of Congress, by editors of newspapers
and business patrons, by State Central and County Committees,
by members of the Legislature, by presidents, secretaries and
members of ward clubs, by assessors, tax collectors, county
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 795
clerks and supervisors, by firemen, policemen and street con-
tractors, by capitalists, bankers, and judges, and last, but not
least, the wife will demand, as a reward for the sacrifices she is
compelled to make for the public good, by being deprived of the
society of her spouse, that Miss be appointed teacher.
Resistance is useless. The Directors must yield, the interests
the schools must be neglected, and the children must suffer,
to provide a living for some unfortunate and perhaps incompe-
tent person. It is a well known fact, that the most incompetent
teachers bring the most outside pressure to bear on the Directors.
The same means which are used to elect teachers are employed
to prevent an incompetent teacher from being discharged. To
keep incompetent teachers out, and to discharge those who may
be found already in the Department, is the most difficult work
which the Directors have to perform. Very few have a sufficiently
high sense of their obligations to the schools, or the moral courage
to attempt to perform the work.
"What business firm or corporation would employ or keep an
incompetent book-keeper or clerk; what client would employ or
keep an incompetent attorney; what patient would employ or
keep an incompetent physician, on the plea of poverty or orphan-
age, or under the pressure of relatives or friends ? And yet the
instruction of the young and the development of the human
mind is a work which demands and ought to command a higher
order of sagacity and genius than is required of the book-keeper,
clerk, attorney or physician. The incompetent book-keeper,
clerk and attorney may cause the loss of some property to their
employers; the incompetent physician may cause some pain and
suffering to his patients ; the property can be replaced and the
suffering alleviated; but the time which children spend with in-
competent teachers is worse than wasted — the precious hours
have flown never to return. The children are robbed of their
rights, society is deprived of its just due.
Too much care cannot be exercised in the selection of teach-
ers— the best are none too good . Were the Directors selecting
teachers to instruct their own children, they would scan their
merits closely and select the best, but they let their interest in
other people's children, who are the dearest objects on earth to
796 EEPOET OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
their parents, be outweighed by their interest to serve an incom-
petent teacher or the friends of an incompetent teacher. The
School Directors should let the thirty thousand children assem-
bled daily in our schools stand out in bold relief before their
minds all the time. They should realize that this great and sa-
cred trust was placed in their charge to be fostered and cher-
ished. They should consider every neglect to provide for the
best intellectual training and material comfort of the little ones
a sin and a crime . They should subvert their own personal in-
terests and the interests of their friends to the advantage of the
children. They should strenuously withstand all pressure
brought to bear to compel them to perform an act not for the
best interest of the children. In brief, they should labor with
the same zeal, fidelity and prudence for the education of the
children of the city as for their own children ; nay, with even
more, inasmuch as they are the chosen guardians of the most
important and sacred trust which the city could confide in them.
That among more than seven hundred teachers there should
be some incompetent ones is not surprising. As a body, the
teachers in the Public Schools of San Francisco, in education,
ability to instruct, and gentleness of manner, are superior to those
in the schools of most of the Eastern cities, and inferior to none.
In results, our schools compare very favorably with those of
Boston, and where they fall short it is not the fault of the
teachers, but is owing to the want of a proper knowledge on the
part of our Boards of Education. The teachers are working
faithfully and intelligently, and were the same intelligence and
zeal brought by the Board of Education to its work, as is dis-
played by the teachers, our schools would stand on the highest
plane.
That the taxes are too high, and the burdens of taxation too
heavy to be borne, no sane man will attempt to dispute or deny.
The efforts made by one of the political parties, in convention
assembled, to reduce taxation and bring some relief to an overbur-
dened community were praiseworthy and just, and ought to have
been carried out in a manner reducing alike the expenses of all
departments of the city government . What is the result ? The
expenses of only one department of the city government are re-
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 797
duced, and that one, too, which has the most earnest and faith-
ful workers. We see a few educated women, some of them
brought to almost starvation wages, paid less than many house-
servants. We see the whole School Department crippled for
want of funds, while the general tax levy is higher than ever be-
fore in the history of the city. This is economy with a vengeance,
vengeance on a few helpless women, vengeance wreaked by the
opponents of public education on the onty department of the
city government that is kept within the annual appropriation, on
the only department which ameliorates the hard condition of
mankind and brings a blessing to the poor man, which supplants
ignorance with intelligence and reduces the ranks of criminals.
If the work of reducing the salaries of all the city officials
had been carried out, if a commencement had been made with
the salary of the Mayor, and the pruning-knife applied to the
long ranks of taxeaters down to the indolent, soft-handed, high-
salaried deputies, if the hangers-on who do little else than
draw their salaries, had been shaken off — and an honest effort
made to comply with the general demand for a more economical
municipal government, no one would have said one word against
a like reduction of the salaries of the school-teachers. The true
friends of the schools have just grounds of complaint when ex-
travagance pervades every other department of the city govern-
ment, and the School Department has to bear the whole weight
of reduction, even to the extent of being crippled for the want
of necessary funds.
That extravagance, profligacy, and even corruption, are rife, in
other branches of the City government is no argument for ex-
travagance or waste in the School Department .
Every department ought to be conducted in the most honest
and economical manner. There is no desire on the part of the
friends of the Public Schools to add one dime of unnecessary
expense — on the contrary, the desire is to cut down the expenses
of the schools, to the lowest possible figure reasonable. All the
employees of the School Department, including teachers, clerks,
janitors, carpenters and laborers, were expecting a reduction of
wages. Opposition was made, not to a reasonable reduction, but
to the unintelligent manner in which the reduction was made.
798 REPORT OF THE SCPERINTENDENT
The Board of Education, desiring to bring the expenses of the
Department within a certain figure, ought to have made an equit-
able reduction in all branches of the Department. A reduction
of twelve per cent, would have saved the Department about
one hundred thousand dollars. This would have met with little
or no opposition, and the burden would have borne equally on
all; but instead of proceeding in this manner, an unequitable re-
duction was made, which did a great injustice to many of the
teachers .
A majority of the largest salaries were reduced ten per cent.,
while many of the lowest were reduced thirty- seven per cent.
The vice- principals were unmercifully treated, being reduced from
one hundred and fifty dollars to ninety, per month. Our vice-
principals are men and women of education and experience.
They have devoted many years to the profession of teaching, and
are earnest, zealous workers. The same amount of time and money
spent in preparation for any other profession would have brought
them a much larger income than one hundred and fifty dollars
per month.
The basis which the Board of Education has taken for an in-
crease of salaries is wrong. The salaries are increased according
to the grade which the teacher holds. Had ignorance been made
the basis for increase of salary, giving the most ignorant teachers
the highest salaries, the effect upon the scholars could not have
been more injurious than at present. We must presume that the
Board of Education considered that a higher order of talent and
greater labor were required to instruct the older pupils. A more
erroneous idea was never entertained. Any graduate from our
High Schools possesses sufficient knowledge of books to teach in
any of the Grammar or Primary grades, hence, the knowledge of
books, being a factor common to all teachers, can be eliminated
when considering their comparative abilities to instruct.
A knowledge of children obtained by actual experience in the
class-room, a thorough understanding of the development of the
mental faculties and physical organization of the child, a deep
insight into human nature, a sagacity quickly to discern, decision
and action born of good judgment, discrimination and prudence,
the faculty of imparting knowledge, patience and self-control,
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 799
are the important factors among the many qualifications pos-
sessed by the successful teacher. Persons possessing these
qualities should be sought after in the appointment of teachers,
and especially should they be sought after when selecting teach-
ers for the younger children.
Seventy-five per cent, of the school children are in the Primary
grades, twenty-two and one-half per cent, are in the Grammar
grades while only about two and a halt per cent, are in the
High Schools. After passing through the Primary grades, most
of the children leave school. The force and strength of the
School Department ought to be spent on the Primary Schools,
The best teachers — best in all that characterizes a good teacher —
ought to be in the Primary grades.
The children are young and tender, their judgment is unde-
veloped— they cannot reason — they learn by absorption, precept
and example; they require, on the part of the teacher, wisdom
and experience, and a knowledge of the development of the hu-
man mind. Then, too, the scholars who by necessity can be but
a short time in the schools, ought to have the advantage of the
best teachers while they do remain. Contrary to this, the cus-
tom now is to hand these little ones, whose minds are just
beginning to unfold, to be experimented upon by the inex-
perienced teachers; they are set up, like so many blocks of wood,
to be hacked to pieces by apprentices, while they are learning
their trade. It is a sin to place an inexperienced teacher (and
necessarily incompetent teacher) over a class of little children.
The Boston School Report for 1879 contains the following,
from the pen of Hon. Samuel Elliott, Superintendent, on the
subject of Primary Schools. These are the first to come into
separate view. Here are the springs and as they rise and flow
onward to the later streams, so the whole current of Education
may be determined.
Primary Schools being clear and sound, Grammar Schools and
High Schools come much nearer to their true course. On the
other hand, failures in the early work are apt to be followed, if
not actually repeated, in the subsequent work, and the system
suffers in the end as at the beginning.
This is the great responsibility of the Primary Grade. It
trains pupils not merely for its own studies, but for those to come
after. It has an almost awful grasp upon the future days, months
800 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
and years; after its children have climbed above it, it is still
reaching them, still lifting them, or dragging them back, accord-
ing to its training. What it has taught them to seek, they con-
tinue seeking. "What it has taught them to shun, they continue
shunning. The lessons they have learned, the truth they have
loved, the honor they have won, are the controlling forces as
they grow older. Or it may be the reverse; and then the weak-
ness and errors of after-life are explained by the unlearned les-
son, the unloved truth, the unreached honor of earlier years.
No one visits a Primary School, no one certainly teaches in it,
superintends it, without a very deep sense of the seriousness of
its charge. Such sowing as is in that field, such preparation
for abundance or desolation as goes on there, can be matched
nowhere within the limits of education —
" The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made."
Inexperienced teachers ought never to be given a lower grade
than a Fourth. If they have the ability, they will sustain them-
selves, if they have not, the scholars will find it out, and the im-
postor will be set aside. Now, when incompetent teachers fail in
the higher grades, they are passed down along the line until they
reach the Eighth, or lowest grade, containing the youngest and
most helpless children. The little ones, unconscious of the
fraud being practised upon them, cannot complain. There the
poor teachers can rest in peace, pensioners upon the City, draw-
ing their monthly stipend and robbing the children of their just
due.
There is no city in the United States, except Boston, which
has so many excellent teachers in the Primary Schools as San
Francisco has had . This fortunate condition of things has been
brought about by the payment of liberal salaries to the Primary
teachers, thus holding out an inducement to the best teachers to
remain in the Primary Grades.
Since the Board of Education has adopted the unwise plan of
increasing the teachers' salaries according to the grade taught,
the highest salary being paid for the highest grade, the teachers,
and especially the good ones, no longer having any inducement
to remain in the lower grades, are striving for promotion to the
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 801
higher grades on account of the higher wages. This will de-
prive the Primary Schools of their best teachers, and tend to
throw the talent of the Department into the Grammar Grades,
where it is least needed. When the plan of the Board of Edu-
cation became known, much opposition and public indignation
were expressed. The press ef the City, always quick to catch the
drift of public opinion, denounced the sweeping reduction of
Primary teachers. Petitions from the heaviest tax-payers, rep-
resenting millions of dollars in property, were sent to the Board
in opposition to the reduction. The voice of the Public was
disregarded, the petitions were refused, and the Board of Edu-
cation, led on by the enemies of the schools, commenced
the demolition of the Department they were elected to cherish
and support.
Had a majority of the Board of Education been elected by
the most avowed enemies of the Public School System, they
could not have adopted a course which would have pleased
their constituents better than the one they have adopted in their
treatment of the teachers. It is safe to say that had it been
known, before the election, in what manner they were going to
treat the teachers, the people would not have honored a majority
of them by a position in the Board of Education. After every
effort had been made to convince the Board of Education of the
great wrong they had done the schools, an appeal was taken to
the Legislature.
The Hon. W. W. Tray lor introduced a bill in the Senate
known as the "Traylor Salary Bill,'' which based the increase of
salaries paid teachers in the Public Schools on their successful
experience.
This bill met with little opposition in the Senate and Assem-
bly. The Governor signed the bill without hesitation. The
whole State seemed to condemn the action of the Board of Edu-
cation.
The only arguments made in the Assembly and the Senate
against the bill, were on the question of its constitutionality.
This bill made a reduction in the salaries of the teachers in the
whole Department of about fifty thousand dollars per annum,
and yet the Board refused to obey the law, giving as a reason
that the law was unconstitutional.
51
802 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
The question was taken to the Courts, and in the Superior
Court the law was declared constitutional. An appeal was
taken by the Board of Education to the Supreme Court, and the
law was declared unconstitutional on the ground that it was
local in its provisions.
Had this law been sustained by the decision of the Supreme
Court, the best teachers could be retained in the Primary
Grades, where they are most needed, and where their work
would have been productive of the most good.
Had the wishes of the people on this subject been regarded,
there would have been no necessity of appealing to the Legisla-
ture or the Courts.
The only hope of a remedy is at the next election, when the
people will have an opportunity to be heard.
Not including the School Department, the city paid during the
last fiscal year, in salaries, the vast sum of $1,424,237.21. This
does not include janitors, gardeners, nor day laborers.
The school teachers are the poorest paid of any employees of
the City except day-laborers.
In twenty-six departments of the city government, the fol-
lowing average monthly salaries are paid to clerks and deputies.
This average of salaries does not include the heads of the de-
partments mentioned, neither does it include day laborers nor
janitors. If the heads of the departments were included, the
average of salaries would not fall much below one hundred and
fifty dollars per month:

$3,598 78 -^ 26=$138 41, is the average monthly salary paid to
the deputies and clerks employed by the city, while the average
monthly salary paid to the school teachers is $71 02.
If the average salaries paid the clerks and deputies were re-
duced one-half, then the teachers would receive on an average
only one dollar and eighty-two cents per month more than the
clerks and deputies.
Every position now filled by a clerk or deputy could be filled
from the ranks of the teachers, and the work would be as well
performed as it is at present; while, on the other hand, not one
in one hundred of the clerks and deputies could perform the
work required in the schools.
Why is this discrepancy in salaries ? The preparation for
teaching requires more time and money than the preparation for
a clerkship or a deputy's position. One would naturall y think
that the teacher ought to have the higher salary. Upon exam-
ination it will be found that the salaries of nearly all the clerks
804 KEPOET OF THE SUPEBINTENDENT
and deputies in the various departments of the city government
have been fixed by law at Sacramento. Their salaries are se-
cure and stable, and not left to the whim of whomsoever hap-
pens to have charge of the department in which they work.
The salaries of the school teachers, on the other hand, are left,
as a foot-ball, to be kicked about by every Board of Education.
To the teachers, no matter how competent and faithful, nothing
is secure. They hold their positions at the pleasure of the
Board of Education, and their compensation depends upon the
judgment of the same body.
If legislative enactment has a tendency to give permanency
and stability to the salary of any employees of the city, or if it
lends a dignity to the position, surely the school teachers — the
earnest workers in the department of intelligence — have the
right, above all others, to have permanence, stability and dignity
thrown around their positions.
During the last fiscal year, the city paid the school teachers
$639,259 04. This vast amount of money is under the control
of seven members of the Board of Education which number
seven resolves itself into four, as the four generally whip the
other three into line. This is too much power to place in the
hands of four men, or even seven men. The whole Depart-
ment is kept in a flutter of excitement, fearing lest the salaries
may be reduced. The disbursement of this amount of money
ought to be regulated by law in such a manner that the teachers
will feel that as long, at least, as they are employed, their salar-
ies will not be changed without a moment's notice. That the
school teachers are sure of their positions as long as they do
good work and commit no unprofessional act, is one of the best
features of our department. If the salaries were fixed and sta-
ble, and not liable to fluctuate suddenly, the schools would be
much benefited, and the profession of teaching would be dig-
nified and exalted. The main object sought in the "Tray lor
Salary bill" was to put the compensation of the teachers on a
more permanent basis.
Had the law been confirmed by the Supreme Court, the de-
partment would have been greatly benefited, inasmuch as it
would have been taken entirely out of politics. That they may
OF COMMON SCHOOLS. 805
have friends at court, the teachers all take a lively interest[in
the elections. This is a condition of things which can have but
a detrimental influence upon the schools. For their own pro-
tection, the teachers are obliged to do many things which are dis-
tasteful and humiliating.
The average School Director is not satisfied, unless his vanity
and pride are flattered and compliments showered upon him
without number. He imagines himself the embodiment of wis-
dom in all school matters, and is dissatisfied unless the teachers
reflect the same opinion of him which he himself holds.
Put the proposition as you please, it is humiliating and de-
grading to seven hundred educated, intelligent people to be
under the absolute control, as regards their tenure of service
and compensation, of a body of twelve men, who seek the posi-
tion, not on account of their fitness from experience in school
matters, or from education, but on account of political notoriety
or for the accomplishment of personal ends.
While this state of things exists, the majesty of the law ought
to be invoked, and the Legislature, the source of educational
authority, ought to dignify the teacher's profession by enact-
ments bearing on the compensation and tenure of service.
The Public Schools of the United States have enjoyed the
attention of the whole civilized world. Europe and Asia, observ-
ing the benign influence of our Public Schools upon the people,
have sent commissioners to our shores to study our system of
education with a view to its adoption.
Our Public Schools are the real foundation upon which the
liberties of the people rest, and upon which our form of gov-
ernment, "the best the world has ever seen," is built. They are
of more importance to this nation than the Constitution, for
without them the guarantees of liberty contained in that instru-
ment would exist only in 'name.
That these guarantees are vouchsafed depends not upon a
standing army, or an iron-clad navy, but upon the superior edu-
cation of the people.
The public schools are the nurseries of intelligence, the bul-
warks of freedom, — destroy them, and the government will soon
lapse into a monarchy, or what is worse, and more to be dreaded,
into the condition of Mexico and the South American States.
806 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
The idea that public education is a necessity, not a charity,
is now well established in the rninds of the people. The public
schools have been advancing with rapid strides, and have as-
sumed a position of such importance, that, ere long, they will be-
come the subject of National legislation, to such an extent that
Constitutional provision will be made for their protection and
perpetuity. They will form a new department of the National
government, which, in importance, will outrank all others.
They are dear to the hearts of the American people, they
effect beneficently every man, woman and child in the whole
country. Their rapid growth and generous support are the best
proofs of the high estimation in which they are held.
The great National parties connot much longer ignore the
question of public education. Already one of these parties has
recognized it in its declaration of principles in 1876, and again
in 1880. It cannot fail to be the talisman of success — and as
such will receive the homage of all political parties seeking for
public favor.
Your honorable body must bear in mind that the requirements
of the citizen are increasing every year. As the country increases
in wealth and population there must be a corresponding in-
crease in intelligence among the masses, to maintain a "stable
equilibrium."
It is frequently said by the enemies of public schools that the
primal idea of public education .is abandoned; that the people
are being over-educated; that we should go back to teaching
simply reading, writing and arithmetic; that on account of too
much education we shall have no hewers of wood or drawers of
water.
The argument is too puerile to be answered. It smacks of
accidental prosperity and snobbish aristocracy. The same
course of reasoning would lead us to' discard the steamship for
the sailing vessel, the railroad for the stage coach, the telegraph
for the mail bag.
No, the idea is wrong, unjust, ungenerous, unpatriotic;
more applicable to India and China than to enlightened, free
America. .
The money spent upon our schools is an investment for the

future prosperity of the State. The intelligence developed by
them is a vested legacy for the perpetuity of individual freedom
and national independence. Therefore, guard them carefully,
provide for them liberally. They are the sources of National
wisdom.
"But where shall wisdom be found, and where is the place of
understanding? Man knoweth'not the price thereof; neither is
it found in the land of the living. The depth saith, it is not
in me; and the sea saith, it is not with me. It cannot be got-
ten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious
onyx or the sapphire. The gold and crystal cannot equal it;
and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. No
mention shall be made of coral or pearls; for the price of wis-
dom is above rubies."

SAN FRANCISCO LAI LIBRARY.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 30, 1880.
To the Hon. the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN: — In response to Resolution No. 14,765 (New Series),
requesting a report concerning the condition of this Library, em-
bracing its operations and expenditures during the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1880, under and by direction of the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees, I have the honor to submit
for your consideration as follows :
The first attempt to establish a law library in this city was.
made in the month of September, 1865, by a small number of
the prominent members of the Bench and Bar of San Francisco,
who, recognizing the necessity, practical worth and advantages-
of an institution of this character, at a meeting held for such
purpose, organized and formed the nucleus of what is now the
San Francisco Law Library.
After about four years of almost continuous struggle and
much expenditure of time and patience, the persistent efforts of
a few gentlemen have succeeded in placing on a permanent basis
a library in every way worthy of the labor, energy and profes-
sional devotion bestowed upon it and which can now be classed
as one of the leading and most perfect establishments of its
kind in the United States.
. The act organizing and creating the Library in its present
form and providing for its government and maintenance, re-
SAN FRANCISCO LAW LIBRARY. 809
ceived the signature of the Governor and became a law on the 9th
day of March, 1870, (Gal. Stats. 1869-70, p. 235.) In accord-
ance with the terms expressed therein, a meeting of the share-
holders was held on the 7th day of April, 1870, and the proper
steps taken for the necessary and legal formation and incorpora-
tion of the Library. An act amendatory to the above named act
was introduced in the Legislature at the session of 1880, approved
and became a law April 12, 1880; said amendatory act in
accordance with the tenor thereof, was accepted by the share-
holders at a meeting held May 1st, 1880.
The Library was first located in the third story of the Old City
Hall; then in the Exchange Buildings, on the northwest corner of
Washington and Montgomery streets; from this latter place, in
June, 1870, it was placed in its present quarters in Booms 27 and
28 Montgomery Block, southeast corner of Montgomery and
Washington streets, room No, 27 being the library room and
No. 28 being used for office purposes by the Executive Commit-
tee and Librarian.
The Library is governed and under the management of a
Board of twelve Trustees, seven of whom are elected annually by
the shareholders, the Mayor and the four Judges of the Superior
Court of this City and County, having the shortest terms to serve
are Trustees ex-officio. The officers of the Board are the Presi-
dent, Treasurer, and Librarian and Secretary. The Executive
Committee is composed of the President and two Trustees.
The hours during which the Library is open for business are
from 9 a. m. until 10 p. m. of each and every day.
The facilities offered for legal study and professional labor,
and the constant necessity for its being always and ever ready to
meet the wants of its members and those entitled to its privileges,
led to frequent request that the hours during which it was acces-
sible be extended so as to include the afternoons of Saturdays
and the whole of Sundays and dies non, which request was duly
considered and granted by the Board of Trustees.
There are now on the roll of membership nearly two hundred
and fifty shareholders and semi-annual subscribers.
The members of your Honorable Board, Judges, and officers
of the Federal Courts, Justices and officers of the Supreme Court,
810 BEPOKT OF THE
Judges and officers of the Superior Court, within the City and
County of San Francisco, Justices of the Peace, Police Judge, May-
or, Auditor, Treasurer, Tax Collector, Recorder, Assessor, Sheriff,
District and City and County Attorneys, and members of the
Board of Education, — aggregating about three hundred in num-
ber—and, also, by a recent resolution passed by the Board of
Trustees, all members of the Bar from the interior and through-
out the State, whilst attending sessions of the Supreme Court
held in this City', are entitled to and have free access to and the
full and entire use and benefit of the Library, and all the advan-
tages and privileges thereof without expense, under the rules
and regulations provided in the By-Laws.
The average daily number attending the Library and using the
books is about three hundred. Among these gentlemen may be
listed the Justices and Judges of the Supreme and Federal
Courts, they having frequent occasion to draw upon its fund of
legal capital. The Judges of the Superior Court ( whose cham-
bers are located in the same building), are constantly present and
availing themselves of the vast storehouse of reference and pre-
cedent ready and at hand for their perusal. Members of the
Bench and Bar from the interior and of sister States, members
of the Legislature and various City and County officials are fre-
quent visitors and partake freely of the advantages offered
through the courtesies of the Board of Trustees.
Though no statistical accounts (other than members' receipts
for volumes taken) are deemed necessary to be kept of the books
read in the library room and those taken to the different Courts
or Judges' Chambers, it is a safe estimate to say that the num-
ber of volumes used and handled daily will average between
one thousand and fifteen hundred.
The furniture and fixtures, which in the beginning were ad-
equate and durable, are now in as good a condition as ten years
constant daily use and wear have left them. The gradual in-
crease of the Library has so much outgrown the shelving accom-
modations and the means for proper preservation and arrange-
ment, that large numbers of valuable books, records, pamphlets
and maps are now of necessity stored upon the floors and bal-
conies of the hall, sustaining constant damage and being most
LAW LIBRARY. 811
inconvenient of access. The condition of affairs in this respect
at times seriously impairs its practical utility and worth. A
request for increased table and seating facilities has been lately
granted by your Honorable Board and a want oft recurring has
'been supplied .
The gas-light in the rooms has been steadily on the decline for
a number of years past. The gas fixtures are somewhat old and
service-worn and not large enough to supply the necessary
amount of gas. This fact has been a matter of constant annoy-
ance and dissatisfaction to members and others by reason of the
total extinguishment of the gas at times, and as an almost gen-
eral rule, the flickering and poor lights given by old and inad-
equate fixtures.
A small supply of mats and rugs would be the means of saving
the carpet, which here and there is beginning to show marked
traces of its long use.
Repairs have been made from time to time when practicable
and needed and all sorts of makeshifts have been resorted to for
the purpose of overriding the difficulties contended with. The
boundary between temporary relief and absolute necessity has
now been reached, and the Board of Trustees earnestly and re-
spectfully recommend that your Honorable Board take cogniz-
ance of the above noted state of affairs and grant the relief
requisite.
At the beginning of this fiscal year there were 16,052 registered
volumes and about 1000 deposited unregistered and duplicate
volumes. The increase of registered volumes during the year
has been as follows: 468 volumes purchased under the supervis-
ion and direction of the Executive Committee; 10 volumes were
received from the Secretary of State of California, and 29 vol-
umes donated. The unregistered volumes were increased by a
presentation of 14 volumes of duplicates. The number of reg-
istered volumes is now 16,559, and unregistered volumes about
1014, making a total of 17,573 volumes.
There is also on hand a large collection of California Supreme
Court Eecords, maps, periodicals, legal and political pamphlets.
The following general classification will exhibit more fully than
any other form of report feasible at this time the varied and val-
uable information the Library is capable of affording, viz:

From the County Clerk $4,025 00
From shareholders upon election 1,900 00
From semi-annual subscribers 1,005 00
Total $6,930 00
The disbursements during the same period have been, viz:
For books purchased $1,480 35

Of this balance of $2,522 42 remaining in the treasury there
is due on outstanding indebtedness (bills for which, up to this
date, have not yet been presented) for book orders, book-binding
and repairs, and a large periodical account, sums aggregating
about fifteen hundied dollars.
Such in brief is the history of the San Francisco Law Library.
An elaboration of details would present no better statement of
its prosperity or its worth. The one is evident — the other can
be justly estimated only by those whose studious research has
measured its resources.

APPENDIX.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
On December 1, 1879, the present Board was organized; the retiring mem-
bers, after making appropriate remarks, introduced their successors. The
retiring Mayor, the Hon. A. J. Bryant, addressed the Board as follows:
GENTLEMEN: — At the close of a term of official duty it is useful to review
it and see how far hopes of faithful service have been realized. I invite you
therefore to a short examination of the record. But allow me first to express
here my thanks to the people of San Francisco for the great honors I have
received at their hands. In 1875 they placed me in the high and responsible
office of Mayor. In 1877 they. conferred upon me the unusual distinction of
a second term in the same office. Profoundly grateful for these marks of
confidence, I have endeavored to perform my official duties with energy and
integrity.
As charges of bad management and extravagance have been freely made by
a portion of the public press against the administration of municipal affairs
during the last four years, I consider it due to those responsible for it as well
as to the people, that a comparison should be made between the expenses of
this period and those of the four years immediately preceding it. I have
therefore prepared a series of tables showing the affairs of the City for the
last eight years. The first relates to the indebtedness of the City and County.

Five hundred and forty-four thousand five hundred and twenty-four dol-
lars and eighty-eight cents was expended on the New City Hall. It will be
seen that during the first four years the indebtedness of the City had in-
creased $751,953 30.

In the last four years there is a decrease of $941,01667 in the city's
indebtedness. Total net indebtedness of the City on December 1, 1879, is
$2,990,493 61, which is less than it has been at any time since 1860.
This is a result of which those who have managed the finances of the City
and County during the last four years may well be proud. It is their work,
it is but just that they should have the credit of it. And it is a work which
every tax-payer should estimate at its proper value. It is a sharp turn in
financial affairs, and a long distance traveled iii the right direction
Capitalists in every part of the world will seek cities not loaded with debt
down to their port-holes for the investment of their money.

This table shows that the amount of taxes collected in the first period of
four years was $9,309,354 26, to which should be added $751,953 30, increase
of indebtedness, giving a total sum of $10,061,307 56.
In the last four years the taxes collected were $12,245,491 18. From this
«nm should be deducted the reduction of the Funded Debt, the amount
expended during the last four years on the New City Hall in excess of the
sum expended on it in the first four years, and increased interest.
The sum thus left for the ordinary expenses of the City and County in the
last four years exceeding the sum for such expenses in the first four years by
$233,473 37, is not a large sum to be raised by taxation for such purposes,
when we consider the growth of the City and County.
I will here call attention to the fact that during the last four years no
moneys collected from taxpayers who paid under protest have been lost,
That system no longer exists. A large sum. amounting to $286,236 59, was
paid to Alexander Austin, who was Tax Collector from December, 1868, to
December, 1875, and this sum has never been paid into the Treasury of the
City and County, although a judgment of Court was had in favor of the City
and County. On or about the 29th of May, 1876, I addressed a note to Mr.
Austin calling his attention to the fact that the law, as it then stood, required
the payment by him into the Treasury of all moneys paid under protest to
him when Tax Collector, and that the clause allowing him to retain such
moneys for a certain period had been repealed, and asking him to pay the
money into the Treasury at once. On the 25th day of April, 1877, I wrote
another letter to Mr. Austin, in which I referred to the decision of the Su-
prame Court, then just made, that a Tax Collector cannot, in any case, with-
hold taxes collected by him on the ground that they were paid under protest,
and requested him to at once pay into the Treasury of the City and County
all moneys collected by him when Tax Collector and withheld because paid
tinder protest. On the 12th day of May, 1879, a resolution was adopted by
the Board of Supervisors authorizing and empowering the City and County
Attorney to commence and prosecute suits against the bondsmen of the late
Mr. Austin.

§15,472,287 51
The increase of $305,131.71 in the interest might lead a person unac-
quainted with the affairs of the City and County to the conclusion that it
represented an increase of indebtedness; but this is not the fact, as has been
shown in the first table. It is paid upon debts contracted before July 1, 1875.
The increase of $344,534.37 in the salaries of officers is due mostly to leg-
islation at Sacramento. At nearly every session the Legislature creates new
offices and increases the salaries attached to those already existing. At the
commencement of my first term, and again two years ago, I strongly recom-
mended the consolidation of certain offices, which, with no loss of efficiency,
ADDRESS OF MAYOR BRYANT.
825
would do away with a number of heads of departments and the large expense
of maintaining them. And now that the New Constitution gives to cities the
power to govern themselves, I trust that among other important reforms this
matter of officers and their salaries will receive proper treatment.
The increase of $426,121.48 in the Police Department is another instance
of expenses created by the State Legislature..
The formation of new companies has increased the expenses of the Fire
Department, and the sum of $247,381.49 represents increased efficiency.
A large proportion of the $709,686.90 increase in the Street Department
was expended for stone pavements, which took the place of wooden blocks on
streets accepted by the City and County.""
The streets are lighted under a contract made with the San Francisco Gas
Company in the vear 1869. Your Honorable Board succeeded this year in
effecting a reduction of 2% cents in the price per lamp. But an action has
been commenced against the Gas Company to have the contract of 1869 de-
clared void, and if that shall be the result of the action gas can be supplied
much cheaper under a new contract than it is now.
The School Department is nearly independent of your honorable body. A
close observation of its expenses shows that they are rapidly increasing.
During the last four years the advance in teachers' salaries alone is $540,-
876.73. This is a very large sum, but tax-payers apparently are willing to
pay it, and consider fine schools worth the money expended upon them. Yet
they ought to be satisfied that the money is properly expended.
I add here two additional tables, showing the expenses in the School De
partmeut :

The increase of expenditure above shown is a matter for serious considera-
tion, and how to reduce these expenses without public detriment is a grave
problem to which the man who wishes to serve his constituents faithfully in
this honorable body must give much time and study.
The remaining expenses, in which are included the Hospitals, the Alms
House, the Industrial School, the House of Correction, the subsistence of
prisoners, and the Health Department, were less during the last period of
four years than those made for the same objects during the first period of
four years, although such expenses would naturally enlarge with the increase
of population, which has been considerable during the last period. They
are illustrated by the following tables :

The expenses of the Hospitals during the last four years have been less
than in the first period of four years, although there has been a steady in-
crease in the number of inmates. In the first period the average daily num-
ber was 343, and in the last 375.
The expenses of the Alms House during the last period are nearly $16,000
greater than they were in the first period, but the average daily number of
inmates has increased from 334 in the first period to 441 in the last period.
The expenses of the Industrial School have been reduced nearly $44,000
below what they were in the first four years, and the number of inmates has
greatly diminished.
The House of Correction is an expense which the City and County did not
have during the first period, and it should never have been made.
The expenses of the Health Department in 1877 were swelled by those of
the small pox epidemic.
ADDRESS OF MAYOR BRYANT. 829
Our Public Institutions are all in a good condition and ably managed,
therefore need not occupy much space in this address.
The Training Ship, after a fair trial and the expenditure of $95,000,
proved a failure.
The House of Correction should be abolished as soon as possible. It im.
poses a burden upon the City and County which should be borne by the
State. The prisoners properly belong to the State Prison. If their crimes
were committed in any other part of the State they would go there.
We have in this City and County a large class of persons who are lazy,
idle, vicious and criminal, and who are a load upon the community. They
£11 our jails; they do not belong here; they drift from the interior and from
other States. If any of the expense of maintaining this class of people prop-
erly belongs to the State it is not right that it should be added to the already
heavy burdens of this City and County — and the House of Correction does
this wrong. The prisoners confined there could be placed in the custody of
the Sheriff. The building would make an excellent County Jail, which is
much needed, and the expense of a very costly department would be saved.
While the Streets, Squares, Parks and Sewers are not what we would like to
see them; still there has been a decided improvement in them during the last
four years. The sewer on Channel street and the work done at Washer-
woman's Bay, have materially contributed to a better condition of the public
health,
The evils of the system of Special Police and its scandalous abuse in
Chinatown, are well known; and in my address to your Honorable Body, at
the close of my first term, I devoted considerable space to their consideration.
I am sorry to say that they have not been remedied, and that they are worse
than ever. It was hoped that the Statute of 1878 for the regulation of the
Police Force would lead to their removal; but I may venture to say of this
Statute, that many better Acts have gone into the Governor's waste basket,
and that this one, heralded with a flourish of trumpets, has not realized the
great expectations entertained for it.
There are three Boards in the City and County: those of the Supervisors,
Health, and Education, which to a greater or less extent have what may be
called legislative powers. Such powers, including legislation and the entire
control of the public finances and property, should belong exclusively to the
Board of Supervisors, which ought to be the central and governing body of
the City and County.
The defects of the Consolidation Act, its amendments and the special
statutes relating to the City, are pretty well known; and an attempt should
be made to correct them in the preparation of the Charter authorized by the
New Constitution, and the Board whose duty it shall be to prepare and pro-
pose such a Charter, I beg leave to say, should be elected as soon as
practicable.
830 APPENDIX.
I regret that Lake Merced has not yet been acquired for a source of water
supply. I regard its possession as a necessary step in obtaining public water
-works for the City and County. In 1877 an action was commenced in the
Twenty-third District Court, by tha City and County, against the Spring
Valley Water Works, to obtain a decree setting aside an Outside Land Grant
to the Lobos Creek property, and adjudging that the property be declared to
be dedicated to the use of the City and County forever, for the purposes of a
public water works. A demurrer was filed September 21, 1877, and it has
since been overruled. This I regard as virtually a decision in favor of the
City and County for the relief asked. Water should be supplied by Spring
Valley Water Works at a much lower rate than it is now. It was lately
reduced about ten per cent., but the Company can afford a still lower reduc-
tion. Colonel Mendell, in his report, estimates the cost of 13,000,000
gallons, delivered daily by this Company, with a total daily expense includ-
ing interest of $2,055, at 15.08 cents per thousand gallons. The highest cost
he gives is 20.6 cents per thousand gallons for 10,000,000 gallons, delivered
daily, with a total expense of $2,055. Considering the cost of the water and
the quantity delivered, forty or fifty cents per thousand gallons is unreason-
ably high. The Spring Valley Water Works receives an income of nearly
$1,300,000 from those who use its water. Now, allowing the Company six
per cent, per annum interest on a capital of $12,000,000, which is $720,000,
and $125,000 for expenses and $100,000 for repairs to the works, amount-
ing in all to the sum of $945,000, I think that the Company could for that
sum furnish and distribute to the City and County all the water it and its
residents would need. This sum the City and County could afford to pay,
and it would yield the Company a liberal profit. A portion of the sum thus
paid to the Company, at least one-half of it, should be paid into the Treasury
by general taxation.
A new institution — a Free Public Library— has been established during the
last year. It has commenced favorably, and if well and prudently conducted,
I doubt not, will be a source of instruction as well as pleasure to the people.
There has been expended upon the New City Hall from the date of the
present Commission to June 30, 1879, the sum of $1,249,086 75. The Com-
missioners under the present law have to follow the plans and specifications
adopted by the first Commissioners. They have endeavored to see that the
money is properly expended and the work faithfully done. Total amount
expended on the building from the commencement to June 30, 1879, is
$3,147,549 15.
I have examined the expenses of other large cities, and I wish the tax-
payers would do the same. Boston is an old city, and the administration of
its affairs has always been in the hands of capable and prudent officers. I
here insert a table showing its expenses for the year 1878-79.

The result of such comparisons is favorable to the administration of our
municipal affairs.
The multiplication of street railroads in this City and County, and the
greater speed and comfort with which passengers are carried upon them,
have contributed to the increase of population. Rapid and easy transit to
every part of the City and County has enabled men living and engaged in
business here to reach their homes on our pleasant hill sides, and in our val_
leys, more easily and quickly than if they were located in neighboiiug coun-
ties, and will materially increase the value of taxable property.
The greater the competition between the roads the more passengers they
will carry, the cheaper will be the fares, the greater will be the comfort of
those who use them, and the streets now uninhabited will be filled with dwell-
ings and places of business. Such is the natural result of a number of street
railroads conducted with ability and enterprise.
During the last year Hon. Samu&l J. Bridge, formerly a prominent and
honored resident of the City and County, presented to it the sum of $2,000
of which the income will be expended in silver medals for the children of the
schools. It is called "The Bridge Silver Medal Fund." I desire here in
behalf of the City and County to express its thanks to this gentleman for the
generous gift by which he has remembered it, and to express the hope that it
may prove the commencement of funds of this character.
The number of Chinese who come to this country is not as great as it has
been in former years. This decrease is due to the force of public opinion,
which is becoming understood even in China. The bill before Congress to
limit Chinese immigration, which the President vetoed, was demanded by the
people of this Coast, and probably would have greatly checked the evil. Its
legislation having proved ineffectual by reason chiefly of defects in its Con-
stitution, this State had a right to demand and to receive from Congress such
adequate relief and protection as was in its power to grant. But Article 19
of the New Constitution seems to give the Legislature sufficient power over
the subject, and it will be the duty of that body by appropriate legislation to
832 APPENDIX.
give effect to the constitutional provision; and I have no doubt that a proper
statute, wisely framed and enforced, will afford the desired relief. The result
of the last election ought to demonstrate to the whole country that the people
of the Pacific States will not give up their States to a Chinese majority, or
consent that their civilization shall be supplanted by one so alien as the
Asiatic. If the delegation in Congress from the Pacific States stand united
upon this great question they will be able to wring from the Government at
Washington the right of a large section of the common country to the re-
striction of Chinese immigration ; and one of their first duties should be to
demand from Congress the abrogation of the Burlingame treaty, and the
limitation of the number of Chinese who may be brought here in one vessel.
In March last the discovery was made of a series of frauds upon the
Montgomery Avenue and Dupont Street Funds, commencing about eight
years ago, during the administration of Mayor Alvord, and continuing
through that of Mayor Otis and into my first term. No moneys were
paid out of the Montgomery Avenue Fund after May, 1875, in Mr.
Otis' term. The manner in which the frauds were committed was the same
from the beginning to the end. It was a plan well conceived, and executed
intelligently and skillfully. The money obtained by these means was traced
from the Treasury of the City and County to the bank account of the late
Secretary of the Board of Public Works and the Board of Dupont Stree^
Commissioners. The Secretary of the Board of Public Works became the
Secretary of the Board of Dupont Street Commissioners upon the recom-
mendation of property owners interested in the widening of Dupont street.
The Commissioners being all Democrats naturally intended to appoint a
Secretary from their party, and Mr. Tibbey being a Republican would not
have been appointed but for the efforts of the property owners. But his ap-
pointment was so strongly urged by them and his character then stood so
high in the community, that the Commissioners decided not to make a politi-
cal appointment, but to comply with the wishes of the property owners.
Upon the exposure of the frauds it appeared, from certain books taken from
Mr. Tibbey's possession, that before the passage of the bill by the Legisla-
ture the property owners had agreed with Tibbey that for his services in
attending to the passage of the bill they would use their efforts to have him
made Secretary of the Commission. The Commissioners at all times endea-
vored to carry out the wishes of the property owners when clearly ascertained,
and there appeared to be no reason for refusing compliance. The Commission-
ers made a fair valuation of the land taken commencing at Bush and Dupont
streets, at $800 a front foot for a lot one hundred feet deep, in a regular
ascending scale to Market street. They also, by a similar scale, fixed the
amount of benefits. They adopted a rule which was applied invariably in
all cases. They then made the report required by the Statute. Petitions
and objections were filed in the County Court. The report was also filed,
and afterwards modified in compliance with orders of the Court, and con-
firmed on the 20th day of December, 1876, while the petitions and objections
ADDRESS OP MAYOR BRYANT. 83 S
were before the Court on the 14th day of December, 1876, a petition signed
by a large majority of the property owners was presented to the Commis-
sioners, of which the following is a copy :
"SAN FRANCISCO, December 14, 1876.
To the Board of Dupont Street Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN— As property-owners assessed to pay for the proposed widening of Dupont
street, from Market to Bush street, we respectfully, but earnestly, urge upon you the neces-
sity of completing the widening. It has come to our knowledge that obstacles have been
interposed to the confirmation of your report to the County Judge by certain property-owners,
who require changes in their assessments for damages and benefits. In all of these we deem it
best that concessions be made in every case, rather than the widening should be jeopardized, and,
to that end, all concessions, and to anjr extent that you may make, will, in view of the urgency
of the improvement, meet with our hearty approval and support."
The large property holders also came in person and urged the adoption of
the modifications, although aware that thereby they imposed upon them-
selves an increased burden of over $100,000.
The Commissioners complied with the petition and the wishes of the prop-
erty owners, and made the modified report as already stated.
In conclusion of my remarks on the report, I beg leave to say that the
Commissioners ascertained and fixed justly and fairly both damages and
benefits, and that the modifications of the report did not meet with their ap-
proval, and would not have been made but for the urgency of a large majority
of the property holders who were to bear the burden.
The losses by the frauds were as follows" :
Montgomery Avenue $112,231 18
Dupont Street 87,224 00
Their lesson is the necessity that moneys shall not be paid out of the
Treasury of the City and County except upon demands audited by the Auditor.
An action was brought on the 27th day of August, 1877, in the 12th Dis-
trict Court, by Pierre Priet and Antoine Quinquinet against the Treasurer
and Clerk of the City and County and David Hunter, to recover $5,000 dam-
ages for certain premises taken for the widening of Dupont street, and that
the claims of the plaintiffs and the defendant Hunter to the moneys awarded
as damages for said premises be adjusted and settled, and for the proper dis-
tribution of the sum of $10,932 00 damages in the hands of the defendants
awarded by the Commissioners as said damages for said premises.
Dupont Street warrant No. 92 was issued April 20, 1877, for $10,932 00, to
the order of David Hunter, this sum being the amount of damages awarded
for the premises described in the action of Priet et al. vs. Hubert et al. It
was issued in the usual course of business of the Commission. Subsequently
and on or about July 9, 1877, the Commissioners met, and it appeared that
the said Priet and Quinquinet had some interest in the said premises, and
claimed a portion of the sum awarded for damages; and the Secretary repre-
sented that no warrant had been issued for the payment of said damages.
Thereupon and in compliance with the statute the Commissioners on the 9th

day of July, 1877, issued warrant No. 114, and deposited the same with the
Clerk of the City and County, to be retained by him until it should appear
who were entitled to receive the said damages; and at the same time the
•Commissioners gave notice in writing, signed by the three Commissioners, to
the Treasurer, to set aside from the Dupont Street fund the money required
to pay warrant No. 114. On August 30, 1877, and less than sixty days after
the notice and three days after the commencement of the action of Priet et
al. vs. Hubert et al. warrant No. 92 was presented to the Treasurer endorsed
by Hunter, and was paid by the Treasurer, who doubtless believed that he
•was paying warrant No. 114. In September, 1879, two years after the com-
mencement, the action of Priet et al. vs. Hubert et al. was tried, and on
November 7, 1879, argued and submitted. Judgment was afterwards given
for defendants Hubert and Reynolds and for the plaintiffs against Hunter
for a sum stipulated between them to be their proportion of the damages
awarded.
Shortly after the discovery of the Montgomery Avenue and Dupont Street
frauds a defalcation of $20,000 appeared in the Treasury of the City and
County, and the Deputy Treasurer committed suicide. The date of the
defalcation has never been ascertained, even by the Treasurer. He promptly
paid its amount into the Treasury.
I cannot close this address without paying my tribute to the memory of
one who entered the administration of Municipal affairs at the time I had the
honor to do so, and remained in it till stung by the ingratitude of a commu-
nity which he had faithfully served, and driven to madness by the vindictive
pursuit of an unscrupulous press, he sought peace in the grave. I refer to
the late George F. Maynard, at the time of his lamented death the Auditor of
the City and County. He was a man of blameless character upon whose
official career no stain ever rested.
In conclusion, I beg leave to express to you, gentlemen, who leave this
Honorable Board, my thanks for the assistance and courtesy which I have
always received from you in the performance of my official duties, and hope
that in your future pursuits you will meet with success and honors.
You, gentlemen, who now become members of the Board, will have a
large share of the work of shaping municipal affairs under the New Constitu-
tion and the Charter which will probably be adopted. Your opportunity of
doing good service is therefore unusually great, and your influence will be
felt long after your term has expired.
I desire also, in this place, to thank Mr. Bussell, the Clerk of your Hon-
orable Body, for the assistance which his long acquaintance with municipal
affairs has made valuable; and also the reporters of the press for the intelli-
gence and courtesy with which they have understood and respected my
interests and desires as well as the demands of the public.
Allow me to say that I am glad to retire from the cares and responsibilities
of the Mayor's Office, and to leave them to a gentleman whose ability jnsti
fies the public confidence that he will perform his official dutieu with honor
to himself and to the great city which has called him to the head of ito affairs.
ADDEESS OF MAYOR KALLOCH. 835
ADDEESS— MAYOR KAl/LOCH.
The Hon. Isaac S. Kalloch, on being introduced, addressed the Board as
follows :
Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors;
If my inaugural address should be regarded by any as a little out of the
regulation order, my apology is, if any were needed, that the circumstances
of my election were a little out of the regulation order also. I have had the
honor to be chosen to preside over the interests and guard the welfare of this
great city by a majority of the votes of my fellow citizens. This unusual re-
sult was accomplished under the unusual condition that not a dollar was
expended to effect it, and in spite of the fact that I had been deprived of all
power to aid in securing the result during the preceding period when results
are mostly effected, the bullet of the assassin having laid me speechless and
helpless, though strangely indulgent laws allowed the perpetrator of the cow-
ardly deed his liberty to work and vote against me.
I need not say, that for such a distinguished honor, conferred under such
unprecedented circumstances, the people of this city have my heartiest grati-
tude, and have placed me under the deepest obligation to serve them to the
best of my ability, and to magnify and promote, during my official term, the
ideas and interests involved in my election.
What those ideas and interests are it is my present purpose briefly to state,
leaving to subsequent opportunities the work of amplification and detail. I
have decided convictions, which I believe to be in harmony with those of the
intelligent and honest masses of the people, upon the relations of the city to
the Spring Valley Water Company; the Gas Company; streets and sewers,
and the conscienceless jobberies that have attended their paving, sweeping
and cleansing; the Public Schools, the pride, hope and glory of the city, un-
less they are to continue to be prostituted to the base purposes of mercenary
and ignorant professional traders and hucksters; our important city railroad
interests, and the lavish, and, perhaps, unconstitutional manner in which the
city has been surrendered for half a century to their control, without suitable
restrictions and conditions; and at suitable and perhaps frequent times I
shall call your attention in detail to these and similar questions, especially
such as relate to our police system and public institutions, and recommend
such practical measures as, in my judgment, will protect the rights, promote
the privileges and reduce the taxes of the city. It is enough for the purpose
of this occasion that I lay the ground- work for future action in a glance at
the somewhat anomalous political position we occupy, and the popular con-
ditions and expectations upon which our tenure of office depends.
836 APPENDIX.
First — I received my nomination from, and primarily owe my election to,
the Workingmen's party of San Francisco. I am happy to have this public
opportunity of expressing my grateful appreciation of their personal fidelity,
under assaults which would have terrified and demoralized men less resolute
and honest of purpose. They have been vilified by pulpit and press. Edi-
, tors, preachers and politicians have vied with each other in the disreputable
effort to prove to the world that the majority of our citizens are vagrants and
hoodlums — men who neither regard God nor respect the rights of their fel-
low men. It will be my purpose and pride, as their official representative in
the highest office in this city, to prove, by word and deed, that this slander
is as unfounded as it is atrocious.
The Workingmen's party is composed in the main of men who have homes
to protect, families to feed, churches and schools to maintain, and who have
just as much interest in the peace and prosperity of their city as men of
larger means and more pretensions. And if they have idlers or vagrants,
fanatics or visionaries in their camp, which one of the old parties is so far
free from the same sins that it can afford to throw stones at them on this ac-
count? However, I recognize the fact that I am not the Mayor of a party but
of the people, and I shall be more happy than I expect to be if in all respects
I please the party to whom I owe and acknowledge the honor of my election.
I shall best serve them and be most worthy of their regard, whether I receive
it or not, by using my position, not for partisan or personal purposes, but for
securing the rights and relieving the wrongs which called thern^ into exist-
ence, and wrhich have given theiri the sympathy and support of many citizens
outside their organization.
First and foremost, there is the ponderous and enormous evil of the
Chinese occupation of our city and prostration of its industries. This is
neither the time nor the place to undertake the proof of that upon which the
people of the city have uttered their emphatic opinion by & nearly unanimous
vote. Neither shall I now attempt to present plans or methods of action, of
which there are enough within legal bounds to mitigate this tremendous evil,
provided the gentlemen of this Board, of the Board of Health, and especially
the members of the police force, shall earnestly and honestly co-operate with
me in carrying out and enforcing the undoubted will of the people. China-
town is a nuisance. It can be relieved by dealing with it just as we should
deal with the people of any other race, or even of our own, who should
adopt the barbarous and disgusting style of Chinese living. The dens of vice
and prostitution and the miserable gambling hells which flourish there should
be abolished, or the sworn officers whose business it is to do it, but whose
profit may be in not doing it, should be held up to the indignation of all
honest citizens. In consequence mainly of the Chinese curse, large numbers
of our worthiest citizens are out of employment, and are compelled to see
their families suffer in order that an alien class may have employment, which
have learned the odious and abominable economies of living without families.
ADDKESS OF MAYOR KALLOCH. 837
For men who are idle by nature, and who have seized upon this popular agi-
tation— not to get work, but to get rid of it-j-I make no plea and feel no
sympathy, even if they are made to illustrate the inevitable law which lies at
the basis of all wholesome industrial life, that "he who will not work shall
not eat." But men who are willing to work, and who cannot get work, and
especially those who have wives and children, to go hungry if they are out of
work, sl«tuld have work. This ought to be received as an axiom.
I make my appeal to our capitalists, manufacturers, monopolists, to join
with me in peaceful and vigorous measures to see that they have work. I
appeal to the women of our homes to let no love of ease or notions of false
economy stand between them and the necessities of their own race, to the
advantage of our invaders and destroyers. And I appeal to you, gentlemen,
to win an honorable and memorable place in the hearts of the toiling and
suffering masses of our city, by the adoption of every possible precaution
and the application and enforcement of every legal penalty that shall tend to
the amelioration of their condition.
It is a primary principle of all sound political economy that laborers must
have work and living wages. I lay down a proposition for our capitalists to
consider, which is supported by the best political economists of the age, a
proposition which strikes to the very center of the degrading coolie labor of
the Chinese, and it is this: Whoever is willing to labor physically the legal
number of hours a day, should be paid enough to insure him, if he is
prudent and economical and has no bad habits, a living for himself and his
children, while they are too young to labor remuneratively; opportunity to
educate them for practical life, and some support for himself and wife when
the power to labor shall have ceased. This is only enough to give the
State the strength of its citizens, only enough to make the ground still and
safe which lies under the heavy rockings of human society. An accepted
author on political economy says: "Under no circumstances can it be the
duty of capital to be careless of the welfare of the laborers of the country.
It is of much more importance that the industry of the country should be
liberally paid than that the few should make large profits. Can capital
have a more worthy object than the welfare of the masses upon whom it is
dependent for its food and its defence? These masses are its bone and
sinew, its blood and muscle. Shall there be no care of them? Shall disease
invade, and accident impair, and labor fail, and no remedy be thought of or
applied?"
If this excellent author had been writing for this free country and this
enlightened age, he would be compelled to witness the monstrous and ab-
horrent spectacle of capital purposely and sefishly seeking the meanest,
cheapest and most servile labor, in apparent unconcern of what becomes of
the manly labor of its own race and blood, or of the women or children de-
pendent upon its stalwart but palsied arm! If capital will not support labor
by giving it remunerative employment, and thus secure a corresponding
838 APPENDIX.
advantage; if it turns a deaf ear to the cries for help and blindly seeks only
the labor that is lowest and most menial, then it is guilty of a double crime.
It leaves the masses to madness and destroys itself. It is murder and suicide
combined. For after it has destroyed the industry of the poor, it must sup-
port them still. It may be in the Alms House. It may be in the Peniten-
tiary. It may be in paying for the damages caused by riots and insurrections,
which are sure to come when forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, and
financial folly has repeated on these shores the folly of the ages that have
gone before it in the long continued and still unsettled conflict between
Labor and Capital. How infinitely wiser, and better, and cheaper, especially
under all the favoring inspirations of our splendid opportunities, is preven-
tion than cure !
Second — I am not oblivious to the fact, also, that I owe the position I
occupy to-night to the independent voters of other parties — and especially to
the party of which you are all honored members, and with which I have been
proud to be identified from its infancy and my own — and without whom, in
the unnatural odds arrayed against me, I should not have succeeded, not-
withstanding the zeal and fidelity of my political friends. I think I under-
stand the motives which actuated these independent voters. I know what
they expect of me, and I know they are not going to be disappointed. They
desire the municipal affairs of this city to be conducted in the interest of
the city and not of a party. They want the officials to look out for the wel-
fare of the people instead of their own emolument. They demand an honest
and economical administration of public affairs. They wish to see an end
of public rings, rascalities and robberies . This is the interpretation of the
independent vote. I shall make it my special business to recognize, respect
and reward it.
I understand enough of what is due to the courtesies of an occasion not to
make use of this one, however plainly I might speak elsewhere, to arraign
and pass judgment upon my predecessors. I recall a very sensible sugges-
tion of the Good Book to the effect that " he who putteth on the harness
should not boast like him that putteth it off." And I wish here most em-
phatically to say, that, in all relations to my predecessor the past few weeks,
and in reference to all the questions on which there might be, danger of an
agitated public sentiment, I have found him in all respects courteous, gentle-
manly, and apparently unselfishly devoted to the welfare and peace and
prosperity of the city. Bat it can surely furnish no good grounds for offence
to say in general terms that the administration of the city's affairs have not
been satisfactory to the citizens generally, or the tax payers in particular.
The indecent scrambles for positions which have no pay except their opportu-
nities for plunder; the unseemly, and, for any honest purpose, unnecessary
struggle to retain office, after the popular verdict has been unmistakably
pronounced against the incumbents; by questionable legislation in the
interest of corporations, supported by venal papers and endured by a pusil-
animous public, form a continuous and connected chapter to which I would
ADDRESS OF MAYOR KALLOCH. 839
gladly avoid reference, did fidelity to my position and duty allow it. For
this condition of affairs, and for all the evil it has inflicted on the fame and
fortunes of the city, the people are responsible as well as the politicians^
For this reason I have used a term not particularly calculated to ingratiate
me into its affections, when I pronounce the public "pusillanimous." I
fear that I might with propriety call it a worse name. My life is among the
people. My work is with them. My inspiration is from them. My obliga-
tion is to them. And I shall begin to discharge it by saying now, more in
sorrow than in anger, that the public conscience is somewhat demoralized.
The people expect their officials to steal. They are disappointed if they do
not. They are indiscriminate in their accusations, confounding the inno-
cent with the guilty, and robbing honesty of the stimulant of a generous
appreciation. If a man passes through the fire of official temptation un-
scathed, and comes out poor, he will get his reward from men from whom
better things might be expected, in the sarcastic reflection, "You were a
fool not to make better use of your opportunities."
There must go with this another reflection, equally mortifying to our pride,
and equally unpleasant for me to make — that we are, perhaps, the only civ-
ilized community on the face of the earth where it is absolutely no bar to a
man's social recognition or respectability for it to be known that he has
stolen himself rich. There must be something radically wrong, and needing
a good deal of toning up, in the moral status of a community who will
quietly and tamely submit to being robbed, plundered and despoiled, so long
as it is done by mere acting in a corporate capacity and claiming the sanction,
of law; who support and pay for a police for the protection of houses of
gambling, prostitution and death, and the rescue of criminals — able to re..
ward the service — from the just penalty of their crimes; and many of whom
advertise in, support and get their mental pabulum from a newspaper built
up on the wreck of hearts and homes, and edited by an assassin. These sug-
gestions indicate something of that healthy change of .sentiment which haa
resulted in the popular and peaceful revolution which has put us into place
and power. The people demand a reform. They look to us to supply the
demand. They expect to see the laws enforced, criminals speedily punished,
defaulters brought to trial, instead . of escaping through legal technicalities
and Court continuances, thefts on the treasury abolished, swindling contracts
ended, the school system purified of its corruptions, the streets paved with
enduring material at reasonable rates, and cleaned in a manner that shall
afford most labor to the people at the least expense to the City, and, in gen-
eral, a system of honesty, retrenchment and vigilant attention to the City's
needs in every respect and in all its parts. In short, they ask from us a new
order of things. Happy for us as well as for them, if we answer the expec-
tation. Our political relations are somewhat peculiar. If we act as politi-
cians merely, we shall tie each other's hands, and accomplish little for the
public good. But if we act as citizens and supervisors, and not as politi-
cians and placemen, we shall best serve and honor our respective parties, as
840 APPENDIX.
well as the City at large. So far as I am concerned our political differences,
if we have any, shall make no difference with me. I desire no antagonisms.
I court no conflicts. I shall invade no man's rights, nor allow any man to
invade mine. I expect to be, and to be treated as, the Mayor of San Fran-
cisco, with all that the term implies. I shall respect you individually and
collectively, and assume that your purposes are just as pure, patriotic and
unselfish as I have declared mine to be, and I shall expect the same consid-
eration and respect from you. I shall not allow it to appear hereafter, un-
less you compel me, that there is any difference either in our political faith
or religious opinions. Contingencies may possibly arise in which I shall de-
part from the precedents of previous administrations, and adopt a line of
policy of which I think it well to give you timely notice lest you accuse me
of giving outside publicity to, and asking popular advice upon, questions
which some of you may think belong exclusively to us. If I mistake not,
here has been a great mistake in the past. Supervisors, however honestly or
modestly they have entered upon their duties, soon come to regard them-
selves as the directors and disposers, instead of the agents and servants of
the public, and to use their power as if it were their own, instead of delega-
ted to them for a limited period, to be used only for the public good . We
have come nearer to the people than any of our later predecessors in the cir-
cumstances of our election. Party lines have been so far obliterated that
there are none of us who do not owa our success to tho assistance of men
connected with other parties than our own. The municipality for once ranks
the party, as it always should, in municipal affairs. It behooves us now to
keep near the people. The nearer we keep to them, the closer wo feel the
pulsations of the popular heart, the safer and sounder will be our legislation*
You may expect, then, that I shall make free use of the exceptional oppor-
tunities afforded me to reach the popular ear and get the expression of the
popular will. I shall not hesitate to call the people together whenever ques-
tions are agitated in which they are vitally interested, and especially if there
should be any ground of apprehension — as I trust there will not be during
our administration — that their rights or interests are in any way in danger of
being jeopardized. That will be a poor measure for us to pass which cannot
stand the clearest calcium light which the fullest public discussion can
throw upon it.
Section 68, Article V, of the Consolidation Act declares that "It shall be
the duty of the President of the Board of Supervisors vigilantly to observe
the official conduct of each Supervisor in his district, and of all public officers
in the City and County, and take note of the fidelity or exactitude, or the
want thereof, with which they execute their duties and obligations, especially
in the collection, custody, administration and disbursement of the public
funds and property, for which purpose the books, records and official papers
of all officers and magistrates of said City and County shall at all convenient
times be open to his inspection. He shall take especial care to see that the
books and records of all such officers are kept in legal and proper form ; and
ADDRESS OF MAYOR KALLOCH. 841
any official defalcation, or willful neglect of duty, or official misconduct,
which shall have been reported to him by any Supervisor, shall, at the earli-
est opportunity, be laid before the Grand Jury, in order that the officer in
default may be proceeded against according to law."
While the law thus clearly defines your and my responsibilities and duties,
and while we are moved by the highest obligations that can bind men to God
or their fellow-men to observe them with conscientious fidelity, I would be
far even from intimating the apprehension that it will be our painful duty, in
a single instance, to apply the penalty of the law to any case of official mis-
conduct. It may not be out of place, however, to say that while, as Grand
Juries have heretofore been constituted and conducted, this clause may have
had little terror for official misdoers, it is among the probabilities of the bet-
ter era on which we are entering, that juries are liable to be honest, and jus-
tice swift and impartial to all offenders. Reserving to more suitable occa-
sions such practical suggestions and recommendations as I may from time to
time feel it my duty to make in order to illustrate and apply the spirit of this
address, I close by expressing the hope, accompanied. I assure you, by a
cheerful confidence, that when we are done with our official service, and have
handed back to the people the authority with which they have temporarily in-
vested us, we may each and all receive from them the same welcome encomium,
which I trust we may each and all receive when called before a more august
tribunal to pass a more solemn test: "WELL DONE, GOOD AND
SERVANT."

846 APPENDIX.
GAS SUPPLIES.
The Appendix to Municipal Reports of 1874-75 contains a portion of the
proceedings had in the matter of supplying gas to the City and County for
lighting streets, public buildings, and for the use of other consumers; and as
this is a subject which has invoked legislative action and engaged public at-
tention in the matter of establishing the rates to be paid for and the illumin-
ating power of the gas to be furnished, the proceedings referred to are
reproduced with the subsequent action had for information and reference.
The first contract entered into by the city, through the Common Council,
was with Jas. Donahue & Co., on the 16th day of August, 1852, to furnish
and light the streets with gas within the boundaries of California, Dupont
and Jackson streets and the water front, within a period of two years from
date of the contract, at the rate of 32% cents per lamp per night. Under
this contract the streets were first lighted with gas on the 14th day of Feb-
ruary, 1854.
The contract so made was for a term of fifteen years, and the price named,
32% cents per lamp per night, was agreed upon for the first term of five
years, and at the expiration of the first, and also of the second term, the
rates to be charged were determined for the next term by Commissioners
appointed in the manner as provided in the existing contract.
On the organization of the first Board of Supervisors under the Consolida-
tion Act, in November, 1856, there were erected and in use 514 street lamps;
the number of lamps were then reduced by order of the Board from 514 to
94, on account of the Board beinj unable to order paid the past and accruing
indebtedness to the Gas Company. Under an Act of the Legislature, passed
in 1858, a compromise was effected and a settlement made with the Gas
Company, the successors of Jas. Donahue & Co., the company waiving all
claims to damages for the reduction of the number of lamps.
The contract was renewed from the 14th day of February, 1859, for a second
term of five years, at the following rates: 500 lamps or less, 26 cents per
lamp per night; exceeding 500 and not exceeding 750, 25 cents per lamp per
night; exceeding 750 and not exceeding 1,000, 24 cents per lamp per night;
exceeding 1,000 and not exceeding 1,250, 23 cents per lamp per ni^ht; ex-
ceeding 1,250 and not exceeding 1,500. 22 cents per lamp per night, and ex-
ceeding 1,500, 21 cents per lamp per night. On the 1st of January, 1862,
there were 278 street lamps in use, and on a recommendation of a committee
of the Board, that the number of lamps be increased especially at the inter-
sections of streets, the company agreed to reduce the price to 21 cents por

lamp per night, on the number of lamps being increased to 500, and when
increased over that number, then at 23 cents per lamp per night.
The contract was renewed for the third term of five years from February
14, 1864, at the following rates: 1,750 lamps or less, 21% cents per lamp per
night, and when exceeding 1,750 lamps, 20 cents per lamp per night.

To Messrs. DONOIIOE and EASTLAND :
GENTLEMEN — The committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors to confer with a commit-
tee of the San Francisco Gas Company, wishes to know if the San Francisco Gas Company could
make in writing a statement of the price at which they could furnish the gas to the city : First>
for five years ; Second, for ten years ; Third, for fifteen years. And the committee of the Board
of Supervisors wishes, if possible, to receive said communication before Saturday next, Febru-
ary 13th, 1869.
Respectfully,
(Signed) J- B. E. CAYALLIER, Chan-man.
In reply your committee received the following answer :
OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO GAS COMPANY, February 12th, 1869.
J. B. E. CAVALLIER, ESQ., Chairman Committee Board of Supervisors :
SIR— In reply to your note of this date, inquiring at what rates this company will furnish the
gas necessary for street lighting, we beg leave to reply as follows, regarding each of the terms
mentioned by you :
First— For Five Years.— The Company will furnish street lights, as at present, for twenty
cents each per night.
Second.— For Ten Years. — The company will furnish street lights for the first two and a half
years at the rate of nineteen cents for each lamp per night. For the second term of two and a
half years, at the rate of eighteen and one-half cents each per night ; and for the remaining
five years at the rate of eighteen cents each per night.
Third.— For Fifteen Years. -This is the term of the existing contract, and the company will
supply the street lights at the following rates, including, as do the foregoing offers, the exper
of lighting, cleaning, etc.
For the first five years, for any number of lights less than 3,000, 19 cents per night,
any number of lights more than 3,000 and less than 3,500, 18J cents per night. For any nui
ber more than 3,500 and less than 5,000, 18 cents per night ; and for any number more to-

be furnished for the second five years to be fixed by three Commissioners, one to be chosen by
the city, one by the Company, and the other two so chosen to select a third, and at the termina-
tion of the second term of five years, the rates for the third and last term of five years to be
fixed by a commission similarly constituted to the above. Should the last proposition be ac-
cepted, the company will agree to keep such posts, lamps and appurtenances in repair for the
sum of two dollars ($2) each per annum, which is about one-third less than the amount paid by
the city in 1868.
Very respectfully,
(Signed,) J. A. DONOHOE,
JOS. G. EASTLAND,
Committee of Trustees of the San Francisco Gas Company.
Your committee, after careful examination of figures and prices, have come to the conclusion
that the terms named by the San Francisco Ga!s Company for a contract for five years, or for a
contract for ten years, were very unsatisfactory, and they have agreed on a reduced scale which,
in their opinion, ought to be satisfactory to both parties, and have desired their Chairman to
address the following note to the Committee of Trustees of the San Francisco Gas Company :
SAN FRANCISCO, February 13, 1869.
To Messrs. Donohoe and Eastland, Committee, etc.:
GENTLEMEN- Your communication of the 12th instant has been presented by me to the com-
mittee appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The committee wishes me to forward to you the
following propositions, and in case of your acceptance of the same, 1 am at liberty to say that
the committee will report in favor of granting your company a contract for fifteen years, di-
vided into three terms of five (5) years each.
The Committee of the Board of Supervisors proposes for the first term of five years the fol-
lowing scale of prices, according to the number of lamps, viz :
The price paid now by the city being 20 cents for each lamp, we propose up to 3,000 lamps, 19
cents ; from 3,000 to 3,250, 18$ cents ; from 3,250 to 3,500, 18 cents ; from 8,500 to 3,750, 17£
-cents ; and to remain at 17J cents until the number shall reach 4,500 lamps. Afterwards at 17
cents until the expiration of the first term of five years. We propose, also, to insert into the
contract to be entered into with your company, the following clause, to- wit : "And it is further
understood between the city and the San Francisco Gas Company, that at the expiration of the
first term of five years a committee of one appointed by the Board of Supervisors and one by
the San Francisco Gas Company, and in case they disagree for them to choose a third to act as
umpire, shall be appointed for the purpose of fixing the price for the second term of five (5)
years, provided, that under no circumstances shall the city be compelled by said commissioners
to pay more for street lights than any responsible company in operation and prepared to light
all the street lights would be willing to contract for furnishing the gas for the use of the city."
Same clause to operate when the third term of the contract will have to be acted upon. The
Committee of the Board of Supervisors accept your proposition to keep each post, lamp and
appurtenances in repair for the sum of two dollars ($2) each per annum. The Committee
wishes the privilege of stating to the Board, and to the public, your promise to reduce at once,
to the general consumers, the price of gas fifty cents per thousand, in case the contract is
.granted for the term of fifteen years, asked for by your company. If these propositions are
accepted by your company an early reply is necessary, in order to make a proper report on Mon-
day night, February 15th, 1869.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) J. B. E. CAVALLIER, Chairman.
The following answer was received :
OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO GAS COMPANY, )
February 15th, 1869. f
J. B. E. CAVALLIER, ESQ.,
Chairman of Committee of Board of Supervisors on Street Lighting :
SIR— Your letter of the 13th instant was received this morning, and we are authorized by the
Board of Trustees of this Company to accept the proposals therein contained, regarding the
54
850 APPENDIX.
lighting of the street lights, and we do hereby accept the same. We are also authorized to
state that immediately upon the execution of the contract upon the terms proposed, the com-
pany will make a reduction of fifty (50) cents per thousand cubic feet to all private consumer*
of gas.
Very respectfully,
J. A. DONOHOE,
JOS. G. EASTLAND,
Committee of Trustees San Francisco Gas Company.
The advantages to be derived for the city from the contract we recommend must be very
easilj' understood by everybody. They are :
First— \ reduction at once of five per cent on price paid to-day.
Second.- The certainty to obtain within three years a reduction of 12J per cent on price now-
paid.
Third. — A reduction at once of 33 per cent on price paid for keeping street lights in repair.
Fourth. -The proviso accepted by the Gas Company leaves the door open to any new com-
pany willing to come and compete for furnishing gas to the city, and gives the city, in the face
of a contract for fifteen years, the possibility every five years to obtain another important re-
duction.
Fifth.— The committee will state that the saving to the city under the new contract for the
first term of five years will amount to $164,500, equivalent to eleven months present rate for
nothing. The reduction at once of five per cent representing a gain of 250 lamps lighted yearly
for nothing, and when the figures will reach 3,750 lamps the gain will be 12-J per cent, or 750
lamps lighted yearly for nothing.
Consequently, your committee report unanimously in favor of entering into a contract with
the San Francisco Gas Company for fifteen years, on terms mentioned in our commnnication to
the Committee of Trustees of the Gas Company, dated February 12th, 1869.
Respectfully,
J. B. E. CA VALUER,
MONROE ASHBURY,
D. D. SHATTUCK,
Committee.
San Francisco, February 15, 1869.
And thereupon the following resolution was passed by said Board :
RESOLUTION N'O. 9,717.
Resolved, That the Judiciary Committee be authorized and directed to enter into a contract
on behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, with the San Francisco Gas Company, to
light the streets of the citj" in accordance with the recommendations of the special committee
heretofore appointed to confer with the Gas Company, except that in place of the proviso,
"That under no ciraimstances shall the city be compelled to pay more for street lights than any
responsible company, in operation and prepared to light all the street lights, would be willing to
contract for furnishing the gas for the use of the city ;" said contract to provide that at the ex-
piration of said first or second terms the lighting of the streets for the succeeding term shall be
open to competition, and the contract awarded to tho lowest responsible bidder then fully pre-
pared for lighting the streets.

To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a communication from your
Honorable Board, dated the 27th January, 1874, stating that the contract between the City and
County of San Francisco and the San Francisco Gas Company had been referred to me by your
Honorable Board for my opinion as to the legality and effect of that provision requiring the
city to take gas from said company during the .term of years therein mentioned.
Your Honorable Board having appointed a Special Committee to confer with the Gas Com-
pany with a view to coming to an understanding regarding the terms upon which to enter into
a contract for a supply of gas for municipal purposes, said Committee reported to the Board
the terms as preliminarily determined upon, and the Board thereupon adopted Order No. 9,717,
whereby the Judiciary Committee was authorized to enter into a contract in accordance with
the recommendations of the Special Committee, with a difference in one particular set forth in
such Order.
Among the terms so reported as modified by the letter of said Order were the following:
" And it is further understood between the city and the San Francisco Gas Company, that at
the expiration of the first term of five years, a committee of one appointed by the Board of
Supervisors and one by the San Francisco Gas Company, and in case they disagree, for them to
choose a third to act as umpire, shall be appointed for the purpose of fixing the price for the
second term of five (5) years. And said contract to provide that at the expiration of said first
or second terms, the lighting of the streets for the succeeding term shall be open to competi-
tion, and the contract awarded to the lowest responsible bidder then fully prepared for lighting
the streets."
GAS SUPPLIES. 855
The written contract embodies the report of said Special Committee and the said Order
authorizing the making of the contract; but there are set forth therein among others, the words
following, viz:
" Upon the expiration of the term of five years hereinbefore limited, the party of the first
part, (unless it shall elect and notify the party of the second part of its election, to advertise
for proposals as hereinafter provider!), shall purchase and take from the party of the second
part all the gas required for lighting said city as aforesaid, for another term of five years
dating from the expiration of the term hereinbefore limited, and pay therefor at such rates as
shall be agreed upon by a majority of a commission to be constituted as follows:
" One commissioner to be appointed by the party of the first part, one by the party of the
second part, and one by the two so appointed. * * * At the expiration of the first or
second, term of five years hereinbefore limited, the party of the first part may elect to adver
tise for proposals for furnishing said gas, and lighting said streets, for the succeeding term of
five years; and in such case, it will let the contract therefor to the lowest responsible bidder
then fully prepared (except as to the lamp-posts and lamps) to furnish all said gas and light said
streets. * * * * * * *
" 5th. In case the party of the first part shall elect to advertise for proposals at the expira-
tion of the first term limited herein, the said party of the first part shall give the party of the
second part notice of such intention at least two months prior to the expiration of the term so
limited as aforesaid. Should the party of the first part not elect to advertise for proposals as
aforesaid, or not notify the parties of the second part of such election, then the parties hereto
shall each appoint one commissioner as hereinbefore provided, for the purpose of fixing the
rates at which the party of the second part shall perform such service, and furnish such material
for the succeeding term herein provided for, at least one month prior to the expiration of such
term, and said commissioners shall immediately proceed to fix said rates in the manner provided
in this contract."
In my opinion said contract is not legal and binding upon the city and county so as to
require the purchase of gas from said Company during the second and third terms of fi>e
years, or either of them, therein mentioned, for the reasons following:
First — The proposition of the Special Committee, that "a committee of one appointed by
the Board of Supervisors and one by the Gas Company, and in case they disagree for them to
choose a third to act as umpire, shall be appointed for the purpose of fixing the price for the
second term of years," adopted by the Board of Supervisors as one of the terms of the proposed
contract, is wholly irreconcilable with the following language of the contract as written out
and signed by the Committee, viz: " And pay therefor at such rates as shall be agreed upon by
a majority of a commission to be constituted as follows: one commissioner to be appointed by
the party of the first part, one by the party of the second part, and one by the two so
appointed. "
Second — The Board of Supervisors have no lawful authority to delegate to persons not mem-
bers of that Board, the power to fix and determine upon the amounts to be paid by the city
and county for gas, or to alienate from the Board its power of final determination with respect
to snch amounts.
I am, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
W. C. BURNETT,
City and County Attorney.
At a meeting of the Board, held on May 11, 1874, a resolution was intro-
duced by Supervisor MacDonald, providing for the appointment of a member
of the Board as a Commissioner on behalf of the City and County, to fix the
rates to be paid to the San Francisco Gas Light Company, for furnishing gaa
and lighting the public streets, etc., for the term of five years from May 19,
1874, which was passed for printing and, on motion of Supervisor Menzies,
Teferred to the Committee on Street Lights, and on May 18, 1874, the Com-
856 APPENDIX.
mittee on Street Lights, by Supervisor Kenney, reported verbally in favor of
its passage, and the resolution referred to was then taken up and finally
passed by a unanimous vote and numbered 6,060; thereupon Supervisor
Roberts moved that Supervisor Lynch be appointed the Commissioner.
After explanatory remarks by Supervisor Lynch, Supervisor Pease moved
that Supervisor Ebbets be appointed the Commissioner; whereupon, on mo-
tion of Supervisor Scott, the Board resolved to proceed and appoint by ballot
the Commissioner required.
The following nominations were made: Supervisor Lynch by Supervisor
Roberts, Supervisor Ebbets by Supervisor Pease. Supervisors Block and
Roberts were appointed tellers. On the first ballot Supervisor Lynch received
five votes, Supervisor Ebbets received six votes, and one blank vote. On the
second ballot Supervisor Ljmch received four votes, Supervisor Ebbets seven
votes, and one blank vote. Supervisor Ebbets having received the requisite
number of votes was declared by the President to be duly appointed a Com-
missioner to perform the duties required by the provisions of Resolution
No. 6,060.
On June 23, 1874, Supervisor Ebbets, appointed under the provisions of
Resolution No. 6,060, as a Commissioner on behalf of the City and County,
presented the following report, that the San Francisco Gas Light Company
had appointed Mr. J. B. Haggin as a Commissioner; also, that Mr. Oliver
Eldridge was elected as the third Commissioner by the two so appointed; also,
submitted the following agreement determined upon by the said Commission,
fixing the price at 16% cents per lamp for each night during any part of
which such lamp shall be used, and $3 50 for each thousand cubic feet of gas
used in lighting public buildings; which were received, read, and on motion
of Supervisor Lynch, referred to the Judiciary Committee.
REPORT.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN: Under the provisions of resolution of the Board, No. 6,060, appointing me a
commissioner on behalf of the City and County to fix the rates to be paid to the San Francisco
Gas Light Company for furnishing gas for public buildings and lighting the public streets, etc. , for
the term of five ryears, in accordance with an agreement heretofore entered into between the
City and County and the San Francisco Gas Company, to determine and have designated, the
hours the street lamps are to be lighted, and to obtain a reduction of the rates from those now
charged.
I would respectfully report, that the San Francisco Gas Light Company appointed Mr. J. B.
Haggin a commissioner to represent said Company. We met and selected from a number of
well known citizens, Mr. Oliver Eldridge, to act as the third commissioner. After several
meetings we finally agreed upon certain prices set forth in tht accompanying agreement,
making a saving to the City and County of some §94,200 during the coming term of five

years, besides the promise of a material reduction on or about the 31st day of December, 1874,
in the rate for gas furnished our citizens.
And I beg leave to submit the proposed terms that the Commissioners so appointed have
determined upon, for your approval and ratification.

MAJORITY REPORT.
SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 27, 1874.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors of the
City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — Your Committee on Judiciary, to whom was referred the report of the com-
missioner appointed by this Beard' to fix the price of gas, would respectfully report that we have
had two meeting-s with the representatives of the Gas Company, and have been unable to obtain
any better or more favorable terms than those reported to this Board by its representative. The
company declining either to establish an illuminating standard, or reduce its rate below 16|
cents per lamp for the next five years.
And believing that better terms cannot be obtained, there being no competition, and that it
would take at least five years to erect the necessary works and lay down the mains and pipes
required for lighting this city and the public buildings; we would, therefore, recommend that
the price of gas as fixed by the commissioners be ratified.
STEWART MENZIES,
JAMES B. ROBERTS.
Supervisor Lynch, of the Judiciary Committee, presented the following
minority report, which was received and placed on file:
MINORITY REPORT.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors :
GENTLHMKN— Having failed to agree with my colleagues of the Judiciary Committee in regard
to the character of the report to be made by us on the question at issue between the city and
county on the one hand, and the Gas Company on the other, I am compelled to present my views
through a minority report.
The question involved is one of great magnitude, and deserving the careful consideration of
the members of this Board, to the end that the rights and interests of the public may be prop-
erly protected without invading the rights or doing an act of injustice to the Gas Company, and
that has been the governing principle in my investigation of this matter.
The first and most serious question to be solved is one entirely of law, and while its proper
solution is almost decisive of the entire case, in my judgment it is neither doubtful nor difficult.
It is alleged by the gas company that they have a written contract with the city, under which
they alone have the right to furnish all the gas that may be required by the municipal govern-
ment for street lights and public offices and buildings for the next five years, and, which, sub-
ject to certain conditions and contingencies, will continue in force for five years more.
It will be remembered that in 1869 the Board of Supervisors attempted to enter into contract
with the Gas Company to furnish all the gas for the city for fifteen years, and did make a written
contract to that effect. But this contract, as I shall presently show, was made without authority
and in direct violation of law, and has never been ratified by the Legislature. And the Gas
Company not only claim that said contract is valid and binding upon the city, but that the
report of the commissioners recently appointed to fix the price of gas and the cost of lighting
street lamps, which has been agreed to by them, is final and conclusive without the ratification
or further action of this Board.
If the existence of a contract is admitted, it follows that their claim in this respect must be
admitted also, notwithstanding the Board, in appointing their commissioner, expressly reserved
the right to approve or reject his action, and while himself and colleagues in their report ask
this Board to approve the same, thus implying, at least, that it is necessary to get such approval.
But, as a matter of fact, I am clearly of the opinion that there is no valid contract in existence
between the two, and in this respect I am sustained by the opinion of the City and County
Attorney, who, on questions of this character, is our legal adviser. No direct authority can be
found in the Consolidation Act, or the acts supplemental thereto, by which the Board of Super-
visors had the right to enter into a contract with the Gas Company for fifteen years, nor was it
ever contemplated by the most liberal construction of said acts that one Board of Supervisors
GAS SUPPLIES. 859
should be allowed to enter into a contract that would be binding upon the city and their suc-
cessors so many years after their terms of office expired.
The existence of such a power is not in harmony with the provisions or principles of said
acts, which were intended to define and restrict the powers of the Board, but in direct conflict
with both, for by it we find the Board restricted from leasing property of the city for more than
three years, against incurring any debt or liability without having the money in the treasury
with which to meet it, and, in fine, from exercising any powers, -unless expressly granted by
said act and amendments.
The two latter provisions of the law have existed since long prior to the making of the
alleged contract, and are as follows :
"Sec. 12. Neither the Board of Supervisors, the Board of Education, nor an;/ officer of the
said city and county, or of any district, shall have any power to contract any debt or liability, in
any form whatsoever, against the said city and county ; nor shall the people or taxpaj-ers, or
any property therein, ever be liable to be assessed for, or on account of, any debt or liability
hereafter contracted, or supposed to be contracted, in contravention of this section."
"SEC. 67. * The powers of the Board of Supervisors are those granted in this act,
and they are prohibited to exercise any other."
Not only was said contract made in direct violation of these provisions of law, but also in
violation of sound sense, public policy, and without a precedent. If this contract could be
made for a term of fifteen years, it could have been made for a term of fifty or one hundred
years with equal propriety. Or, if the power existed to make a contract for a supply of gas for
fifteen years, it existed equally to make a contract for a supply of fuel, wood and coal for the
city for the same period, or forage for the Fire Department, Industrial School and Alms House,
supplies for the County Hospital, books of record for public offices, and supplies of various
kinds required for the city, too numerous to mention.
But who believes that a contract entered into by the same Board, at the same time, for sup-
plying either of these other artic-es for such a period would be deemed valid and binding V It
is doubtful if the person could be found to assert a claim of that kind ; and yet, if the contract
is not good in the one instance, it is impossible to perceive how it can be so in the other. The
same law governs in both cases. But without the direct provisions of law to sanction a contract
of this character, it must be held to be void as against public policy, in restraint of trade, and
in violation of the rights of citizens, because its effect must be to strengthen and build up a
monopoly to the detriment of the public, to prevent and drive off competition, thus almost
insuring in the future the highest price for the poorest commodity, a result that could scarcely
occur if the field were open to a fair business competition for tfie city's patronage, or the city
allowed to manufacture and supply her own gas, which it is claimed by the Gas Company she
now has no right to do. While at present it would seem that the prospect of competition in the
matter of furnishing gas is far from being good, yet it should not voluntarily be made worse, or
be altogether prevented by the city herself, and that will certainly be the effect of bestowing
the vast patronage of the city for a long term upon the only existing company.
Fair competition with reasonable profits on the capital employed is desirable, and should ba
encouraged by the city instead of being prevented. Her interests in this respect are identical
with that of her citizens.
While decidedly opposed to the making of lengthy or exclusive contracts, they might be tol-
erated for a reasonable period were their provisions fair, or did we know that we were receiving
what was contracted to be furnished and paid for, but the contrary is the case in this instance.
We arc paying an enormous price for the very best article, and the almost universal belief is
that it falls very far below that standard.
Finding, then, that no valid contract exists between the city and county and the Gas Com-
pany, we should avail ourselves of the present opportunity of securing a new contract, reason-
able in its provisions and fair to both parties, rather than take any action calculated to confirm,
or in any way recognize, the validity of the one now claimed by the Gas Company to exist, for
the following, among other, reasons :
First— The length of time for which said contract has yet to run, either at fixed rates or as a
variable contract, is, for the interest of the city, altogether too long. The members of this
860 APPENDIX.
Board should not for a moment entertain any proposition on this suhject which will bind the
city for ten years, or even for five years, unless far better terms are secured than have yet been
offered by the Gas Company, and I entertain grave doubts of the propriety of making- a eon-
tract for more than two years as long- as there is no competing1 company for the city's patronage.
Second — The price fixed in said contract for gas, and the charge for lighting street lamps, are
both unreasonably high even at the present time, and for the latter item particularly so, as
will be shown hereafter. And as years roll by, and the number of street lamps increase, it will
become even still more unreasonable.
Third — That by a ratification of said contract the organization or establishment of a compet-
ing gas company (or companies) in this city, whioh it should be our policy to encourage, as
landing to secure a reduction of the price of gas to our city and her citizens to a reasonable
figure, will be greatly discouraged, if not wholly prevented, and the exacting grasp of the pres-
ent monopoly will thereby be the more firmly fastened upon us.
Fourth— That said contract is highly objectionable in this, that no fixed standard is estab-
lished therein for the illuminating power of the gas to be furnished, and hence the chief
element in calculating the value of thi article supplied under said contract is wanting. In this
respect it is radically defective, and I insist that no contract should be made by the city for a
supply of gas without having fixed definitely therein its illuminating power. Owing to the
nature of the article itself, there is scarcely another merchantable commodity so easy of adul-
teration, and so little liable to detection as this.
Fifth — Said contract is further objectionable in that it only designates the time of lighting
the j*/Y.s£ street lamp upon each lamp-lighter's beat, which is of slight consequence ; whereas, it
is of the greatest importance that the time when all the street lamps shall be lighted shall, in
any future contract, be clearly designated.
Sixth— Th&t by the ratificatian of said contract the city, for the period mentioned therein,
will be deprived of the right to manufacture and supply her own gas, had she the desire and
ability so to do, or to take her supply from any other company, even at a lower rate, should the
opportunity offer.
Seventh— This contract is again objectionable in this, that the street lamps are lighted and
extinguished by the employees of the Gas Company. Thus the city is entirely dependent upon
the promptness and fidelity of the servants of that company to see that the terms of the contract
between them are faithfully carried out. Rather an unusual condition of things, and much
against the public interest it imist be confessed. It would be quite as reasonable a proposition
for the persons furnishing granite blocks and cobble-stones for the streets, forage for the Fire
Department, supplies of various kinds for the hospital, alms house, etc., to appoint the persons
to receive and receipt for the articles furnished by them, as is this provision of said con-
tract.
Eighth— An other grave objection to this contract, is that it provides that the city shall pay
so many cents per lamp for each night during any part of which such gas shall be used,
without any reference to the length of time used, whether it be for an hour or less. It is
clear, therefore, that she is compelled to pay for more than she receives an equivalent. The
contract should provide for payment for lighting street lamps by the hour, as in Boston
and other cities, and also provide that they shall be lighted on dark, foggy and rainy
nights, whether such nights be designated in the almanac as time of full moon or other-
wise.
Xinthr—A further objection to said contract is, that while it is claimed that the city must
take all her gas from this company for her street lamps, there is no direct and positive
provision by which said company, whose duty it is under said contract to furnish and erect
street lamps, can be compelled to do so until it happens to suit their own convenience,
instances of which frequently occur.
Tenth— That the ratification of the present contract by this Board, will renew and continue
it in force, and bind this city with all its nefarious and unjust provisions and conditions, not
for five years, but conditionally for ten years.
In respect to the cost of lighting our streets under this contract, it will be sufficient to com
pare the same with the cost in a number of other cities in various parts of the country.
GAS SUPPLIES. 861
Taking the only data before me at this moment, I find that some time during the past
winter there were in this city 4,220 street lights. Taking the price fixed at that time, 17% cents
per lamp for each night, and putting the number of nights in the month for which payment
would be required in any month at the lowest figure (except the month of February), the cost
to the city for one month (with the cost of keeping the lamps in repair) would reach about
$58 80 for each lamp, and hence for the year the cost would be about $245,000. The whole cost
to the city for street lights and public buildings, taking the month of December last as the
average, will be $276,400.
Our sister city of Sacramento, with only a small number of street lamps as compared with
this city, has recently made a contract by which she will have her streets lighted for the period
of four years, for $3 75 per lamp per month, or $45 per annum for each lamp.
Boston pays 11-12 of one cent per hour for each street lamp in the main part of the city,
or say one cent per hour. This at the outside will not average the amount of ten cents per
lamp per night the year round, yet for convenience I will say $3 per month or $36 per year.
The cit}7 of New Orleans pays $32 50 per annum in the main portions of the city, and some
$45 or $47 per annum in the outskirts of the city.
Cincinnati, in 1871, with a population of about 219,000, only paid the sum of $150,706 for
lighting her streets. San Francisco has not yet reached that population by nearly twenty
thousand, and as shown above, the cost to her for lighting her streets exceeds that amount by
nearly one hundred thousand dollars.
The difference between the amount this city pays for her street lights more than the city of
Boston per hour, is clearly shown by one of the provisions of said contract which is as follows:
" In case any increase over the above schedule times of lighting be desired by the city authori-
ties, they shall have the power to increase the lighting hours, paying for such increase for each
lamp, a price per hour equal to one-tenth (1-10) the nightly rate then being paid." This will
make one and three-quarter cents per hour. In Boston it is only one cent or less per hour.
Inasmuch as the majority of the Committee have agreed upon and submitted their report
to-night, I am compelled to submit my views, briefly and in an unfinished condition, owing to
pressing engagements during the past week.

The following Resolution (No. 6,252) was then taken up and finally passed;
Supervisors Pease, Kenney, Ebbets, Deering, Roberts, Scott, Hewston and
MacDonald voting for, and Supervisors Menzies, Sims and Lynch voting
against the passage of the resolution, Supervisor Block being excused from
voting. The resolution received the approval of the Mayor on August 7,
1874.
Resolved, That the rates to be charged for gas to be supplied the City and County of San
Francisco by the San Francisco Gas Light Company during the term of five years from the 19th
day of May, A. D. 1874, as fixed bj the Commission composed of A. M. Ebbets, J. B. Haggin,

between said City and County and the said Company, be and are hereby accepted, adopted and
approved, and the report of said Commission is hereby adopted, ratified and confirmed.
At a meeting held on August 24, 1874, his Honor, Mayor Otis, stated that a
stipulation was had from the San Francisco Gas Light Company, which was
made in pursuance of a conference and correspondence had by him with Mr.
J. B. Haggin prior to his approving the resolution fixing the rates to be
charged the city for gas for the term of five years from May 19, 1874; and
that in addition to that stipulation the company agreed to reduce the rates to

J. B. HAGGIN, ESQ.,
Commissioner:
SIR -With reference to the resolution of the Board of Supervisors confirming and
adopting the report of the Commissioners in matter of the contract for lighting public build-
ings and streets during the five years from May 19th, 1874, I would say that it appears to
me the price for lighting public buildings should receive some modification. We pay four
dollars now, without contract, and we should have the benefit of any reduction that might
occur below the rate of three dollars and fifty cents; with stipulation on part of the Gas
Company that the City shall have the benefit of any reduction below the price in contemplated
contract, and in no event to pay higher rates, I see no objection to confirming the report and
contract.
Furthermore, it would be still stronger inducement to confirm the report if the Company
would also stipulate to reduce the price to private consumers to the contract rate at least.
Trusting the Company will find it to their interest to adopt the modification mentioned,
I remain,

His EXCELLENCY, JAMES OTIS,
Mayor of San F.-ancixco:
DEAR SIR— As commissioner on behalf of ths San Francisco Gas Light Company to fix the
price of gas for five years from May 19, 1875, under the contract with the city of San Francisco,
I am authorized to state that said company will file with such officer of the city as you may
designate a stipulation to the effect that should the price of gas during such five years be re-
duced to consumers at large below §3 50 per thousand feet, gold coin, that the same reduction
shall be made to the city for the lighting of her public buildings. I have also to say that,
touching the reduction of price below the present rates to consumers at large, that on or before
January 1, 1875, a reduction will be made of not less than 6% per cent. Whether any further
reduction will be made or not, the Board of Trustees of the Gas Light Company reserve to
themselves the right to determine ; but it is the sentiment of the Board to put down the price
of gas to as low a figure as consistent with ,the interests of the company.
Yours, very respectfully, J. B. HAGGIX.

May 19, 1869, to fix the rates to be charged for gas supplied for the period of
five years from May 19, 1874, under said contract; also, stipulating that if

Subsequently, on March 24, 1879, a communication was received from Win.
G. Barrett, Secretary of the San Francisco Gas Light Company, acknowledg-
ing the receipt of a copy of the foregoing resolution, appointing Supervisor
Eountree a Commissioner on behalf of the City and County, to fix the rates
and prices for lighting by gas the streets during the third and last term of
the existing contract, and expressing the readiness of said company to act
in conjunction with said Commissioner. J. B. Haggin, Esq., was appointed
on behalf of the San Francisco Gas Light Company, and J. 0. Eldridge,
Esq., was selected as the third Commissioner by the two so appointed.
On June 16, 1879, Supervisor Bountree, Commissioner appointed on be-
half of the City and County, presented the following report of the result of
the labors of the Commission to fix the price of pas to be paid the San Fran-
cisco Gas Light Company for lighting the public streets during the third and
last term of five years from May 19, 1879 :
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco :
GENTLEMEN — In pursuance of the duty imposed upon me by Resolution of your Honorable
Board, to act as the commissioner on behalf of this city and county to fix the rates to be paid
for lighting the public streets, as provided in the Contracts entered into between this city and
county and the San Francisco Gas Company on May 19th, 1869, during the third and last term
thereof, I have respectfully to report :
That the San Francisco Gas Light Company appointed J. B. Haggin, Esq., a commissioner on
behalf of said company.
That the two commissioners, appointed respectively by the said Gas Light Company and by
this Board, selected and appointed J. O. Eldridge, Esq., as the third commissioner.
That the commission so appointed has agreed upon 14£ cents as the rate per lamp per night to
be paid for street lights, as set forth in the accompanying agreement, signed by all of the com-
missioners.
In presenting this report, your commissioner confesses to some disappointment that he was
not able to secure a still greater reduction from present rates than is expected by the agreement
submitte 1, yet, while the reduction secured is not all that I had hoped to obtain, it is certain
that the rate agreed upon cannot be considered extravagant or excessive.
It has been demonstrated by ample meter tests that the average consumption of gas by each
lamp is fifty cubic feet per night, and the rate agreed upon is, therefore, less than two dollars
and fifty cents per thousand cubic feet. - Estimating the cost of gas at three dollars per thou-
sand cubic feet, and cost of lighting, etc., at 2 4-10 cents per lamp per night, with interest on
the investment in lamp-posts and appurtenances, which belong to the company, at 6-10 of a
cent per lamp per night, the rate for each lamp per night would be 18 cents ; with gas at $2 50,
the cost of each lamp per night would be 15J cents, and with gas at $2 80 the cost of each lamp
per night would be 14^ cents, which is the rate agreed upon, and appears to be fair and reasona-
ble to the city and county, as well as to the company.
It %vas claimed by the commissioner acting on behalf of the company that the rate agreed
upon did not allow a fair profit to the company, and that if the company did not own the lamp-
posts and appurtenances, the rate of 14^ cents was lower than the company could possibly
make, supply and furnish the gas used for street lights.
However that may be, the reduction from present rates effected by this agreement is two and
one-eighth cents per lamp, which is a saving to the city from present rates, and will amount to
about $37,000 per annum on the present number of lamps; and with the consequent increase of
street lights will effect a saving of about $200,000 during the last term of the contract.
Your commissioner has exercised his best skill and ability to secure a reduction to as low a
figure as possible, and consequently protracted the labors of the commission with the sole view
of procuring the best terms for the city that could be obtained, the only duty devolving upon
GAS SUPPLIES. 865
the commission under the provisions of the contract being to fix the rates to be paid during-
the third and last term of five years.
In a consideration of this matter, especially at this time, when criticisms seem to jump at
conclusions, without a fair, reasonable and just appreciation of public duties, your commissioner
has endeavored, in the performance of this duty, so far as lay in his power, to secure for the
city and county such terms as may meet the approval of the press and the people, and believes
that the action had, as shown in the agreement, is manifestly for the public good, as it secures
a large reduction and all that could be obtained in the cost of street lights.
Very respectfully, J. O. ROUNTREE.
In connection with the foregoing report Supervisor Kountree submitted
the following agreement, entered into and signed by the Commissioners as
their determination of the rates to be paid:
AGREEMENT.
We, James O. Rountree, J. B. Haggin and J. O. Eldridge, constituting the Commission to fix
the price of gas to be used for lighting the streets of the City and County of San Francisco for
the term of five years next ensuing the 19th day of May, A. D. 1879, under and in pursuance of the
terms and provision of the contract existing between the City and County of San Francisco and
the San Francisco Gas Light Company, said Commission having been constituted as follows:
The said James 0. Rountree having been appointed by the party of the first part to said con-
tract, the said James B. Haggin by the party of the second part, and the said J. 0. Eldridge by
the two so appointed, do fix and agree upon the price of gas to be furnished to said City and
County for lighting the streets of said City for the said five years next ensuing the 19th day of
May, A. D. 1879, under the terms, stipulations and provisions of said contract, as follows,
to wit:

from and after the 19th day of May, A. D. 1879, to light the streets thereof, 14£ cents per lamp,
gold coin, for each night during any part of which such gas shall be used.
J. 0. ROUNTREE,
J. B. HAGGIN,
J. O. ELDRIDGE.
The agreement was referred to a Committee of the Whole, and engaged
the attention of the Board up to June 27, 1879, when the following resolu-
tion, introduced by Supervisor Eountree, on June 16, 1879, adopting and
confirming the report of the Commission, was passed for printing, and on
July 7, 1879, was finally passed, receiving the approval of the Mayor on July
18, 1879, to wit:

Resolved, That the rates to be charged for gas to be supplied the City and County of San
Francisco, by the San Francisco Gas Light Company, during the term of five years from the

866 APPENDIX.
In connection with the matter of supplies of gas furnished under the con-
tract, on December 17, 1879, the Auditor, J. P. Dunn, returned without being
audited the demand of the San Francisco Gas Light Company in the sum of
$22,514 80-100 for lighting the public streets and repairing lamp posts and
lamps during the month of October, 1879, previously allowed and ordered
paid by the Board of Supervisors on December 1, 1879, pursuant to authori-
zation No. 2,724.
The objections of the Auditor to auditing said demand were based upon an
opinion of John Luttrell Murphy, Attorney and Counselor, who held that
the "alleged contract of May 19, 1869, presumably for the period of fifteen
(15) years, on terms of five (5) years each, was illegal and void ab initio,
for want of power by authority of law in the Board of Supervisors of said
City and County at the time to make said contract, or any such contract
whatever binding upon said City and County," " and that all the
other acts had by said Board in relation thereto are illegal and void."
'• The said Board of Supervisors had no authority in law to re-delegate their
delegated powers and functions, as such, whether judicial or legislative, or
partaking of the nature of both, to others than its own members, who stood
alone equally clothed therewith, and possessed like qualifications thereunder,
to absolutely fix and agree upon the price to be paid by said City and County
for gas, furnished by said company during said term, as was clearly done by
delegating the full power of said Board over the subject matter, to the deci-
sion of a majority of a Special Commission, composed of three members,
constituted as follows, to wit: One member appointed by said Board of
Supervisors, one by said company, and the other by the two so appointed, who
did actually fix and agree upon said rates to be so paid."
An appeal of the San Francisco Gas Light Company to the Board from
said action of the Auditor was referred to the Joint Committee, consisting of
the Committees on Street Lights and Judiciary, who reported on January 19,
1880, in favor of referring said appeal to the District Attorney for his written
opinion thereon, and at a meeting of the Board held on the above date the
appeal was so referred by Resolution No. 14,374 (New Series).
The subsequent demands of the San Francisco Gas Company for Novem-
ber and December, 1879, January, February, March and April, 1880, were
audited, while those of May, June and July, 1880, were returned by the Au-
ditor without being audited, accompanied by the following communication,
to wit:
CITY AND COUNTY OF SAX FRANCISCO, )
AUDITOR'S OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO, September 10, 1880. j
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors :
GENTLEMEN — I herewith return to you, without my approval, the following- demands on the
Treasury in favor of the San Francisco Gas Company :
AIay,1880 $22,665 34
June, 1880 21,87262
July, 1880
Total... $67,243 58
GAS SUPPLIES. 867
These bills were presented to, and passed by your Honorable Board for the quantity and
quality of gas furnished by said company for lighting- the public streets of this city during the
months specified. I believe your Honorable Board passed these bills under a misapprehension
as to the amount of gas furnished. To make this matter clear, I am obliged to refer to the
terms of the alleged contract made by your predecessors with the Gas Company.
Mr. James 0. Rountree was appointed in 1879 to fix the rates to be charged by the Gas Com-
pany for lighting the public streets. The rate agreed upon for each lamp was Ul/2 cents per
night, made up as follows :
For gas, at §2 30 per 1,000 cubic feet 11£ cents
Cost of lighting, etc • • • 02 4-10 cents
With interest on the investment in lamp-posts and appurtenances, which belong
to the company 00 6-10 cents
Total 14£ cents.
This 14^ cents per lamp per night, Mr. Rountree stated to me, was based upon the statement
made by Mr. Crockett, the engineer for the Gas Company, that each lamp consumed 6% cubic
feet of gas per hour, and was lighted 2,640 hours per year_an average of 8 hours per night.
(I ref--r you to Mr. Rountree's letter, now on file in the office of the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors.) These figures were accepted as correct, and the above rate established, as stated.
Now if these figures, as submitted by Mr. Crockett on behalf of the Gas Company, should on
examination be found incorrect, that is, if the number of hours is incorrect, or the number of
cubic feet which it is claimed each lamp consumes is incorrect, it necessarily follows that any
demands based upon them must be incorrect also.
That no injustice should be done the 6as Company in this matter, I requested them to fur-
nish me with the schedule of time by which the lamps are lighted and extinguished. They
promised to do so. 1 waited over a week, and not receiving it I wrote to the Secretary request-
ing a copy. I afterwards called personally at the office of the attorney for the Gas Company,
but so far the company has refused to comply with my request.
It might be pertinent to ask here whether any individual or any company, when presenting a
demand on the Treasury, cannot, when called upon, be compelled to prove the correctness of
said demand.
After careful calculation I find the number of hours the lamps should have been lighted dur-
ing the year 1879 to be 2,310, or an average of 7 hours per night, that is, one-eighth less than
the number which the engineer of the Gas Company claims. I have computed these figures
from the schedule of time according to which the Gas Company is supposed to light and extin-
guish. Does it not follow that their demands for the year 1879 were one-eighth in excess of
what they should have been?
During the month of May of this year I find the number of hours the lamps should have
been lighted to be 170 hours 40 minutes. Admitting for the present that the number of cuoic
feet consumed by each lamp is 6%, as the Gas Company claims, I find that 5,731,011 cubic feet
of gas were consumed by 5,372 lamps, which, at 82 30 per 1,000 cubic feet, the price for which
they are to furnish gas to the city, amounts to $13,181 30
Add for lighting at 2 4-10 cents per lamp per night 3,609 40
Total $16,790 70
Deducting for lamps not lighted, according to the Gas Company's own return (254
nights) 28 34
Leaves the net amount due the Gas Company $16,762 36
Their demand is for 21,770 01
Or an overcharge for the month of May of § 5 007 65
-:
JOl
Pursuing the same system of calculation for June and July, I find the overcharge for June to
$6,353 38 and for July $5,108 34, making a total overcharge in the bills which I return to
Honorable Board of $15,469 31.
868 APPENDIX.
I have not here touched upon the item of 16% cents which is charged for keeping each lamp
in repair during the month, and which amounts to over $890 per month.
As to the 6% cubic feet which the company claims each lamp consumes in an hour, I have
not been able to investigate. Mr. Bloomfield, however, in his report to your predecessors,
made in June, 1879, says that the average consumption of gas per hour for each lamp is 4 cubic
feet. If this is the case, a large reduction should still further be made in the bills of the Gas
Company, as the city is paying for a large amount of gas which it is not receiving. If I am
correct in my conclusions, I find that the San Francisco Gas Company have since May, 1879,
included in their demands over $40,000 more than they were entitled to, even admitting their
statement that they are furnishing 6£ cubic feet per lamp per hour to be correct.
I furthermore find that in the 14£ cents per lamp, which was the rate agreed upon by your
predecessors, and in accordance with which the Gas Company still present their demands, is
included an item of 6-10 of a cent interest per night on the investment in lamp-posts and ap-
purtenances, which belong to the company. In the contract under which it is claimed they are
working I find this provision : "The party of the second part (the Gas Company) to furnish and
supply the lamps, lamp-posts and service pipes required under the contract at its own expense."
In the bill of July of this year this item alone amounts to over $900, and since May, 1879, to
over $12,000. 1 can see no reason why the Gas Company should be entitled to this money.
From the foregoing, your Honorable Board will perceive that the city has been paying the
Gas Company more than the stipulated price for the gas, that it has been paying them for
lighting the lamps, that it has been paying them for keeping their own lamps in repair, and
that it has been paying them, in addition, interest on their investment over and above the
profits which they derive from the manufacture of gas.
In face of these facts which I have submitted, it is no surprise to me that the Gas Company
should hesitate before furnishing the data necessary for ascertaining the correctness of their
demands, or that they should be unwilling to commence an investigation which may result in
their income being materially reduced.
In conclusion, I desire to say that if the Gas Company would deal candidly with the public)
as man with man, this perpetually recurring agitation of the gas question, and the cry against
"grinding corporations" would cease, the gas company would receive, as they are entitled to,
a fair interest on the investment, and the public would receive, as they are entitled to, value
for their money, and that consideraiion which everybody merits who has to foot the bills.
Trusting your Honorable Board will make a thorough investigation into this matter,
I am
Your Obedient Servant,
JNO. P. DUNN, Auditor.
The following communication from, with the opinion of, the District At-
torney in the matter of the appeal of the San Francisco Gas Light Company
from the decision of the Auditor in refusing to audit their demand for light-
ing the streets, etc., during the month of October, 1879, was received on
September 21, 1880, to-wit :
OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, j
CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO,
September 20, 1880. I
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN— In January last the following resolution was adopted by your Honorable Body,
and a copy of it duly transmitted to my office, viz:
RESOLUTION No. 14,374 (NEW SERIES.)
" Resolved, That the District Attorney be and he is hereby requested, to transmit to this
Board his opinion in writing on the appeal of the San Francisco Gas Light Company from the
GAS SUPPLIES. 869
action of the Auditor in refusing to audit the demand of said Company on the Treasury for the
sum of §22,514 80-100, for lighting streets, public buildings, etc., during the month of October,
1879, which demand was heretofore by this Board allowed and ordered paid; also, as to the legal
right of said Company to have said demand audited, in accordance with Section 93 of the Con-
solidation Act."
While making the investigation rendered necessary by this appeal, the counsel of the Gas
Company gave me to understand that an arrangement had been effected which would practi-
cally disposo of the appeal and relieve me from the obligation of preparing and writing out an
opinion in the matter. Thereupon the papers were laid aside and not taken up again until a
few days ago, when the same gentleman informed me that the October bill had not been
settled and that the Gas Company wished to prosecute its appeal to a conclusion . For these
reasons the following opinion was not presented before this.
It is proper, in this connection, to remark that an elaborate argument might be framed in
support of the conclusions reached in this opinion, but the law does not require such a
thing, and even if it did, the District Attorney of this City and County could not comply with
such a requirement without neglecting duties germain to the office of Public Prosecutor.
According to my understanding of the matter, the Auditor based his rejection of the
October bill, at the time, on the opinion of the City and County Attorney that the contract of
May 19, 1869, between the City and the Gas Company is absolutely void. And, unless I
misapprehend the Auditor, he now occupies the additional position that the October bill is
an overcharge, even when measured by the terms agreed upon by the Board of Supervisors
and the Gas Company.
The action of the Auditor was right in any view, if the last position be true; and your
Honorable Body, after due investigation, would rectify the demand accordingly before en-
dorsing finally its payment in case the appeal should prevail.
The City and County Attorney, in his said opinion, says that the contract of May 19, 1869,
"was illegal and void, ab initio, for want of power by authority of law in the Board of
Supervisors * * * * * to make said contract, or any such contract, binding upon said
City and County."
In support of this proposition he cites Section 67 of the Consolidation Act which prohibits
the exercise of powers not granted, and then to establish, it would seem, that the power to
make this contract was prohibited to the Board of Supervisors he quotes Section 12 of the same
Act, which prohibits commercial relations between the City and its officers. If Section 12
prohibits the exercise of this power and it is to receive such a construction instead of the one
prohibiting contracts, etc., between the City and its officers, then the Board of Supervisors have
no authority whatever to contract a debt on behalf of the City, no matter how small the amount
or imperative the necessity.
But the Board of Supervisors was clothed with the authority and charged with the duty of
providing by contract or otherwise for lighting the streets, repairing lamps, etc.
Section 74 of the Consolidation Act, among other things, declares that the Board of Supervi.
sors shall have power, by regulation or order, to provide for lighting the streets .
Section 71 of the same Act, after authorizing the Board to levy taxes for this purpose, in
subdivision five declares that "the Street Light Fund shall be applied and used in payment for
lighting the streets of the city and for the repair of Flamps and posts, in p .irsuance of any
existing or future contract of the said City and County . "
The law stood thus on May 19, 1869, and at that time the Board of Supervisors had the
power, beyond controversy, to contract for a supply of gas for the purposes contemplated by
the Act.
While questions might arise touching the exercise of the power, its existence cannot be
questioned.
It is not pretended, it would seem, that the Board was limited by the letter of the
statute on May 19, 1869, as to the time for which such a contract could be made.
The contract, therefore, is not void simply because it covers a period of fifteen years.
It must be freely admitted that Supervisors are clothed with great and numerous powers,
that they hold and must exercise such powers for the benefit of the public; that all who deal
870 APPENDIX.
with them are charged with a knowledge of this fact; and that the law will scrutinize and set
aside any act of theirs which amounts to an actual or constructive fraud upon the beneficiary's
rights. But the fraud must be proved, not assumed, and that in a forum where all interested
can be fairly heard; and unless the duration of this contract works an injury to the public
equivalent to an actual or constructive fraud, it cannot on the score of duration alone be
declared invalid. This supervision of the law protects against all unreasonable exercise of
power, whether made by public or private trustees.
In the case of the Richmond County Gas Light Co. vs. the Town of Middletown, 59 New
York, p. 228, four of the seven Judges, a bare majority, reached the conclusion that the
authority to make the contract was conferred by the Legislature upon the condition that it
might be withdrawn at any time: that the contract was made subject to such a consideration,
and consequently that when the Legislature repealed the Act it thereby terminated the con-
tract; that, substantially, it was an authority to make a contract to endure for five years unless
the Legislature should sooner determine it by repealing the enabling Act. If such was the
authority conferred, as a matter of course the Town of Middletown and the Gas Company could
uot, by their contract, deprive the Legislature of its reserved power over the subject; and as
an inevitable consequence the contract was construed as if it embraced in terms the condi-
tion upon which the power was conferred. No fault in this view can be found with the case.
Its application to the matter in hand, however, is prevented by the fact that the Legislature has
never in terms repealed the Act in question or recalled the authority conferred. The Aces limit-
ing the duration of gas contracts, all of which it seems were passed after May 19, 1869, con-
template prospective instead of retroactive operation, and do not appear susceptible of a
construction favorable to the view that they repeal the Consolidation Act pro tanto or impair
the contracts thereunder made.
I cannot endorse the suggestion that it was a contract for five years, providing methods by
which it might be renewed for two other periods of five years each It appears to be a contract
to supply gas for fifteen years, providing methods by which to fix the price at stated periods,
and by which the City might terminate the arrangement before the end of the fifteen years .
Instead of being a contract for five years with a power of renewal, it seems to be a contract
for fifteen years with a power of defeasance in the City. If this view be correct, then, being a
contract for fifteen years, subsequent legislation could not abrogate or impair it without violat
ing- the constitutional inhibition concerning such matters.
In the case of the Richmond City Gas Light Co. vs. the Town of Middletown, the Court, at
page 231, declares, that if the contract be valid " neither the Legislature nor the Board of Town
Auditors of the defendant could do anything to impair its obligation, as that would come within
the prohibition of the Constitution of the United States."
In his opinion of February 16, 1874, the late City and County Attorney, and in his opinion
of January, 1880, the present City and County Attorney, treat this contract as void, because it
provides for ascertaining the price of gas for the second and third terms of five years by arbi-
trators. They seem to regard the arbitrators as functionaries exercising power peculiar to the
Supervisors, and not as a means to assist the Supervisors in ascertaining- what would be a
reasonable price for the article to be furnished.
If these arbitrators are to be regarded as making a contract instead of ascertaining the value
of a thing contracted for, then, perhaps, it would amount to a forbidden delegation of power.
But if this is to be treated as a means for carrying out a contract instead of making one, then
it would seem to be within the granted powers of the Board.
The history of these gas transactions indicates that the arbitrators have been practically
used as instruments for carrying out the contract of May 19, 1869, instead of functionaries to
make new contracts.
Nothing thus fir has come to my notice sufficient to warrant the conclusion that the con-
tract of May 19th is void.
But putting the contract aside and looking at the October demand in the light of the
Board's action outside of the contract, is it not true that in the year 1879, previous to the month
of October, the Board took such action with reference to procuring gas from the Company in
GAS SUPPLIES. 871
question for time including the month of October, 1879, that the City is legally and morally
bound to pay the agreed price for whatever was actually furnished ?
Unless I am very much mistaken, the transactions of the early part of 1879 amount to a
contract setting terms, price, material, etc., and even if the agreement of May 19, 1869, were
out of the way and the Act forbidding a contract for more than two years in full operation as to
this matter, still, as October, 1879, fell within the two years, I would incline to the opinion that
the October demand, to the extent that it may be correct when measured by the terms, etc., of.
1879, must be allowed .
According to my understanding of the matter, the late City and County Attorney, in his
opinion of February 28, 1876, reached a conclusion similar to the above.
During the month of October, J879, the City received, used and enjoyed the benefits of gas
produced and furnished by the Company.
That the Company is entitled to some compensation for what was actually consumed, none
will deny; and if there be a valid or binding arrangement as to the price, that should prevail in
fixing the compensation, none ought to deny.
Since it was in the power of the Board to agree with the Company as to the price, and since
that thing was done in the early part of 1879, I cannot see how, after receiving and consuming-
the gas under such an arrangement, no matter how defective the proceedings, the City can with
any show of success or propriety say, " While the arrangement was valid enough to enable us to
get your gas and consume it, it is not valid enough to measure the compensation which we must
pay you." Unless, as before intimated, the terms are so unreasonable and so unconscionable
that the law would set them aside as an actual or constructive fraud upon the public.
When the contracts of a corporation, not illegal, are invalid because of defective execution, the
corporation is liable to the extent of any benefit actually received. (Boisguerard vs. The N. Y-
Banking Co., 2 Sand. C. R., 23; 14 Eng. L. & E. Rep., 18; 9 do. do., 489; White vs. Franklia
Bank, 22 Pick., 181.)
In the case of the San Francisco Gas Co. vs. San Francisco, 9 Cal., 453, the Court says:
" Under some circumstances a municipal corporation may become liable by implication. The
obligation to do justice rests upon it as upon an individual. It cannot avail itself of the prop-
erty and labor of a party and screen itself from responsibility under the plea that it never passed
an ordinance on the subject. As against individuals, the law implies a promise to pay in such.
cases, and the implication extends equally against corporations .
Although corporators are in general protected from unauthorized acts of their agents, yet at the
same time, a rule of equal force requires that they should not deceive the public or lead them
to trust and confide in unauthorized acts of their agents. If they receive the avails and value
of those acts it is implicit evidence that they consented to and authorized them. They adopt
the act and are responsible to those who on the faith of such acquiescence and approbation
trusted their agents. ****** The defendant has received the benefits of the
plaintiff 's labor and materials for over a year and a half, and it ill comports with fair dealing that it
should now seek to exonerate itself from liability, and the law will fail to effect its true end if
the defense interposed can prevail."
It seems to me there is merit in this appeal, but the extent thereof must be adjudged by
your Honorable Body.
Regretting that time forbids a further exploration of this subject,
I am, very obediently,
D. L. SMOOT,
District Attorney.
The Committee on Street Lights presented the following report at a meet-
ing of the Board of Supervisors held on October 4,1880, to-wit :
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco :
GENTLEMEN — Your Committee on Street Lights, to whom was referred the opinion of the Hon.-.
orable District Attorney in the matter of the appeal of the San Francisco Ga^ Light Company
872 APPENDIX.
from the action of the Auditor in refusing to audit the demand of said Company, allowed and
ordered paid by the Board, for lighting streets and repairing lamp-posts and lamps during the
month of October, 1879, together with further communications from the Auditor under dates of
September 10th and 20th, 1880, stating there is an overcharge in the demands of said Company,
based upon certain statements made in the report of the commissioner appointed by this Board
to fix the rates, and calculations made by the Auditor as to the consumption of gas in the street
lamps and the hours lighted, would respectfully report that an agreement was duly made, en-
tered into, adopted and approved by the Board, fixing the rates to be paid under the contract
entered into by and between the City and County of San Francisco and the San Francisco Gas
Light Company, and that the basis taken by the Auditor has no application whatever to the
question of compensation, the contract determining that question and the amount to be paid
thereunder.
The time of lighting the street lamps is also fixed by the contract, and the issue attempted to
be raised is hypothetical, and, in the opinion of your committee, purely technical.
The demands of the San Francisco Gas Light Company heretofore allowed and ordered paid
are based upon a contract and agreement as to the rates to be charged and paid, and a compli-
ance upon the part of the Company with its terms necessitates, in good faith, payment on the
part of the city.
The opinion of the Honorable District Attorney is very clear and conclusive as to the liability
of the City and County, and your committee respectfully report in favor of passing the demand
of the San Francisco Gas Light Company for lighting streets and repairing lamp-posts and
lamps during the month of October, 1879, notwithstanding the action of the Auditor.
Further demands for the months of December, 1879, and January, February, March and
April, 1880, have been allowed and audited, while those of May, June and July, allowed and
ordered paid by this Board, have not been audited, but have been returned by the Auditor for
the same reasons as indicated.
These demands are also according to the terms of the contract. As an appeal has been taken
.by the San Francisco Gas Light Company from the decision of the Auditor in this instance, in
order to avoid technical objections your committee recommend the Board to obtain the opinion
of the Honorable District Attorney thereon. Although an opinion has been obtained on a
former bill, it appears the proper course to recommend such action, in accordance with Section
93 of the Consolidation Act.
In this connection it may be proper to state that while the demands presented are according
to the terms of the contract referred to, the objections of the Auditor are based upon the
assumption that no contract exists, as per opinion received by that officer from John Luttrell
Murphy, Attorney and Counselor for the City and County of San Francisco, and from calcula-
tions made by said Auditor on a basis wholly irrelevant and immaterial under the existing
contract. * *******

ACTION HAD IN REGULATING QUALITY AND FIXING PRICE OF GAS.
At the session of the Legislature of 1877-78 the following Act was passed,
applicable to this City and County :
AN ACT TO REGULATE THE QUALITY AND STANDARD ILLUMINATING POWEK,
AND THE PRICE OP GAS, IN ALL ClTIES WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFOR-
NIA HAVING A POPULATION OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND OR MORE.
[Approved March 4, 1878.J
The People of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. That in all cities in the State of California having a population of one hundred
thousand or more, the local legislative body thereof, whether known and designated as the Board
of Supervisors, or Board of Aldermen, or Common Council, or Board of Trustees, or otherwise,
are hereby authorized and required to fix the standard quality and illuminating power of gas
to be furnished, and the rate and price for each one thousand cubic feet to be charged therefor,
by any person, company, or corporation whose pipes or mains are or shall be laid down in the
streets or highways of such city, for the purpose of supplying gas for the use of such city, or for
the inhabitants thereof, or for such city and its inhabitants; provided, however, that said Board
or local authority shall not fix or establish the standard quality and illuminating power of
gas in such city at less than sixteen-candle power, or such that five cubic feet of gas per hour
so furnished shall give light at least equal to that afforded by the combustion of sixteen stand-
ard sperm candles consuming one hundred and twenty grains of sperm each per hour, the
burner to be used in making such test to be that best adapted to the economical consumption
of gas; and provided further, that such Board of Supervisors, or local legislative authority, by
whatever name it may be known, shall not fix or establish the rate or price of gas so furnished
to such city or its inhabitants at any greater price or rate than three dollars per thousand cubic
feet,
SBC. 2. It shall be the duty of the Mayor of each city having the population mentioned in
section one of this Act, and such Mayor is hereby required, within thirty days after the passage
and approval of this Act, to appoint, subject to the approval of the Board of Supervisors, or
other local legislative body aforesaid, a person of competent experience and knowledge of and
concerning the proper qualities and illuminating power of gas, and who shall not be directly or
indirectly interested in or connected with any person, company or corporation engaged in the
manufacture or furnishing of illuminating gas in such city or elsewhere, either to such city or
jts inhabitants, or any of them, either as a stockholder or otherwise, who shall be known and
designated as Gas Inspector of such city, who shall hold his said office for the term of two
years, or until his successor shall be appointed and qualified; subject, however, to removal
from his said office by the Mayor, with the concurrence of a majority of the Board of Super-

visors, or other local legislative board aforesaid, for any one of the following causes, to wit: by
reason of any interest in the manufacture or furnishing: of gas in such city, whether such inter-
est existed at the date of his appointment or was afterwards acquired, or for want of competent
knowledge, skill, or experience to enable him properly to discharge the duties of said office, or
for any neglect, misconduct or inefficiency in the discharge of the duties of said office, to the
prejudice of such city, or its inhabitants, or any of them. The person so appointed shall, be-
fore he enters upon the duties of said office, and within ten days after his appointment and
confirmation, take and subscribe an oath or affirmation before the County Judge of the county
in which such city is situated, that he will faithfully and impartially perform and discharge
all the duties required by this Act and the ordinances or resolutions of said Board passed
or adopted under and pursuant to the provisions thereof, as such Gas Inspector of such city,
and shall also, within the same time, give a bond to the city in and for which he is appointed, in

fication as such officer, as aforesaid, to make a careful examination and inquiry, by inspection,
letter, or otherwise, as to the quality and illuminating power of the gas furnished and used in
the principal cities of the United States, and the prices charged therefor, and also the compara-
tive cost of the manufacture and supply of gas in other cities of the United States, with the
cost of the manufacture and supply of the same in the city for which he is such Inspector, and
report fully the result of such examination and information to said Board within six months
after his appointment and qualification; and upon receiving such reports said Board shall pro-
ceed to fix and establish the quality and standard illuminating power of gas to be used in such
city, and the maximum price to be charged therefor; and such standard and price may be
changed by said Board from time to time, not oftener than once every year, as increased con-
sumption or other circumstances may in their judgment require.
SEC. 4. After said Board shall have fixed and established the quality and illuminating power,
and the price of gas, as hereinbefore, it shall be the duty of such Inspector to examine and
inspect, from time to time, at least once every week, without notice to the person, company, or
corporation furnishing the same, the quality and illuminating power of the gas furnished to
such city and the inhabitants thereof, and in case the same shall fall below the standard fixed
by said Board, the said Inspector shall forthwith report the same to said Board; and at such
other times as he may be requested thereto by the Mayor or any committee of said Board he
shall report to said Board upon any and all matters connected with the manufacture, supply,
and consumption of gas coming within the scope of his official duties, and specially upon any
subject, or subjects, matters, or things connected therewith, and specified in such request.

ating power of the gas, and the price per thousand cubic feet, as in this Act provided to be
charged therefor, it shall be unlawful for any person, company or corporation to furnish to such
city, or any inhabitant thereof, or other person therein, for illuminating purposes, gas of a
lower standard or quality, or to charge or receive therefor a higher price than is provided by
said Board, under the authority and subject to the limitations of this Act; and for every violation
of the provisions of this Act, or the provisions of any order, resolution or ordinance of said
Board made in pursuance thereof, every such person, company or corporation shall incur a
penalty of not less than one hundred nor more than one thousand dollars, to be recovered in a
civil action in the name and for the use of such city, in any court of competent jurisdiction; and
each day upon which such person, company or corporation shall, without reasonable cause or
excuse therefor, furnish gas of a lower quality, or standard illuminating power, than that
fixed by said Board, shall constitute and be considered and held one violation thereof, and each
month or shorter period for which said person, company or corporation shall take an account of
gas consumed, ana for which they shall charge or receive a price greater than that fixed by said
Board, shall be held and regarded as one offense, and any number of such offenses of either
class, or both, may be joined in the same action, and the several penalties for the several viola-
GAS SUPPLIES. 875
tions proved or confessed in said action may be united and recovered in the same judgment; and
such person, company or corporation shall also be liable to such city, and to any and each person
or corporation who shall be injured by any such violation, in double the amount of damages
actually sustained.
SEC. 6. All actions for penalties under the provisions of this Act shall be tried by the court,
unless a jury be demanded by either party; and when such action shall be tried by a jury, the
jury shall find, as to each violation charged in the complaint, that "the defendant is guilts'," or
"the defendant is not guilty;" and upon each charge in respect to which the jury has found the
defendant guilty, the court shall fix the penalty, and render judgment for the aggregate amount
of such penalties, together with costs of suit.
SEC. 7. All penalties recovered under this Act shall be paid into the General Fund of such
city.
SEC. 8. This Act shall apply to the City and County of San Francisco as well as to cities whose
municipal government is distinct from the county in which they are located.

In accordance with the provisions of the foregoing Act the Hon. A. J. Bry-
ant, Mayor, appointed, on April 22, 1878, H. Bloomneld, Gas Inspector of
the City and County of San Francisco, which appointment was duly confirmed
by the Board of Supervisors on April 29, 1878. Shortly after his appoint-
ment Mr. H. Bloomneld proceeded East in the performance of his duties as
Gas Inspector, for the purpose of obtaining information and statistics, and
while there, on his recommendation, the Board of Supervisors, on July 29,
1878, by Resolution No. 12,666 (New Series), authorized the purchase from
the American Meter Company of a "Letheby Photometrical Apparatus," and
other instruments required for the Gas Inspector.
On the return of the Gas Inspector to this city on September 1, 1878, an
office was fitted up in the old City Hall building on Kearny street, where the
apparatus and instruments purchased were placed, and where observations
and tests are made daily of the illuminating power of the gas furnished.
The expense of that Department up to June 30, 1880, has been as follows:
Salary of Gas Inspector $4,773 32
Apparatus and Expenses 3,243 92
Total $8,017 24
On November 11, 1878, the Board of Supervisors passed the following
Resolution, establishing the standard illuminating power of gas to be fur-
nished, and the price to be charged therefor:
RESOLUTION No. 13,011 (NEW SERIES.)
Resolved, That all gas which shall hereafter be furnished to this City and County or its inhabitants
by the San Francisco Gas Light Company,or any other corporation or individual, shall have a stand-
ard quality and illuminating power of not less than sixteen candle power, or such that five cubic feet
of gas per hour so furnished shall give light at least equal to that afforded by the combustion of
sixteen standard sperm candles consuming one hundred and twenty grains of sperm each hour.
And the rate and price of gas which the said San Francisco Gas Light Company or any other
876 APPENDIX.
Company or individual shall furnish to said City and County or its inhabitants for the term of
one year, is hereby fixed at three (£3) dollars per one thousand cubic feet.

The new Constitution, which went into effect on January 1, 1880, provides
that the Legislature shall pass laws for the "regulation and limitation of
the charges for services performed and commodities furnished by telegraph
and gas corporations," etc. (Section 33 of Article IV); also that "in any
city where there are no public works owned and controlled by the munici-
pality for supplying the same with water or artificial light, any individual,
or any company duly incorporated for such purpose under and by authority
of this State, shall, under the direction of the Superintendent of Streets, or
other officer in control thereof, and under such general regulations as the
municipality may prescribe for damages and indemnity for damages, have
the privilege of using the public streets and thoroughfares thereof, and lay-
ing down pipes and conduits therein, and connections therewith, so far as
GAS SUPPLIES. 877
may be necessary for introducing into and supplying such city and its inhab-
itants either with gaslight or other illuminating light, or with fresh water for
domestic and all other purposes, upon the condition that the municipal gov-
ernment shall have the right to regulate the charges thereof." (Section 19,
Article XI.")

act under the Act of the Legislature approved March 4, 1878, known as the
"Coffey Act," on January 26, 1880, the Board passed the following Resolu-
tion :
RESOLUTION NO. 14,433 (NEW SERIES).

power is now fixed and conferred upon the Legislature of this State under the provisions of
the New Constitution. Vide Section 33 of Article 4, and Section 19 of Article 11 of the Con-
stitution.
And the Clerk is hereby directed to advertise this Resolution as required by law.

RAILROAD CORPORATIONS. 879
RAILROAD CORPORATIONS,
The following tables comprise all the franchises granted by the Board of
Supervisors and the Legislature of the State of California to persons and
corporations to construct, maintain and operate Street Railroads, in the City
and County of San Francisco, together with extracts from the Civil Code
which confer authority upon the Board of Supervisors to make such grants:
[Extract from Civil Code.]
§ 470. No railroad corporation must use any street, alley or highway, or any of the land
or water within any incorporated city or town, unless the right to so use the same is granted by a
two-thirds vote of the town or city authority from which the right must emanate.
§ 471. Repealed April I, 1878. Amendments 1877-73, 84.
§ 497. Authority to lay railroad tracks through the streets and public highways of any incor-
porated city or town may be obtained for a term of years, not exceeding fifty, from the Trustees,
Council, or other body to whom is intrusted the government; of the city or town, under such restric-
tions and limitations, and upon such terms, and payment of license tax, as the city or town authority
may provide. In no case must permission be granted to propel cars upon such tracks otherwise than
by horses, mules, or by wire ropes running under the streets and moved by stationary steam engines,
unless for special reasons, as hereinafter provided. [As Amended March 8, 1876; Amendments
1873-6, 7C.]
§ 498. The city or town authorities, in granting the right of way to street railroad corporations,
in addition to the restrictions which they are authorized to impose, must require a strict compliance
with the following conditions, except in the cases of prismoidal or other elevated railways. In such cases
said railway shall be required to be constructed in such a manner as will present the least obstruction
to the freedom of the streets on which it may be erected, when allowed by the granting power:
First— To construct their tracks on those portions of streets designated in the ordinance granting
the right, which must be as nearly as possible in the middle thereof.
Second—To plank, pave or macadamize the entire length of the street used by their track,
between the rails and for two feet on each side thereof, and between the tracks, if there be more than
one, and to keep the same constantly in repair, flush with the street and with good crossings.
Third— That the tracks must not be more than five feet wide within the rails, and must have a
space between them sufficient to allow the cars to pass each other freely. [As A mended April 3, 1876;
Amendments 1S7Z-6, 77.]
§ 499. Two corporations may be permitted to use the same street, each paying an equal portion
for the construction of the track; but in no case must two railroad corporations occupy and use the
same street or track for a distance of more than five blocks.
§ 500. Any proposed railroad track may be permitted to cross any track already constructed, the
crossing being made as provided in Chapter II, Title III, of this part. In laying down the track and
preparing therefor, not more than one block must be obstructed at any one time, nor for a longer
period than ten working days.
§ 501. The rates of fare on the cars must not exceed ten cents for one fare, for any distance
under three miles. The cars must be of the most improved construction for comfort and convenience
880 APPENDIX.
of passengers, and provided with brakes to stop the same, when required. The rate of speed must
not be greater than eight miles per hour. A violation of the provisions of this section subjects the
corporation to a fine of one hundred dollars for each offense. (See Act of January 1, 1878, for Rates
of Fare.)
§ 502. Work to construct the railroad must be commenced within one'year from the date of the
ordinance granting the right of way and the filing of articles of incorporation, and the same must
be completed within three years thereafter. A failure to comply with these provisions works the
forfeitxire of the right of way as well as of the franchise, unless the uncompleted portion is aban-
doned by the corporation, with the consent of the authorities granting the right of way— such aban-
donment and consent to be in writing.
§ 503. Cities and towns in or through which street railroads run may make such further regula-
tions for the government of such street railroads as may be necessary to a full enjoyment of the fran-
chise and the enforcement of the conditions provided herein.
§ 504. Any corporation, or agent or employee thereof, demanding or charging a greater sum of
money for fare on the cars of such street railroad than that fixed, as provided hi this Title, forfeits to
the person from whom such sum is received, or who is thus overcharged, the sum of two hundred dol-
lars, to be recovered in a civil action, in any Justice's Court, having jurisdiction thereof, against the
corporation. (See Act of January 1, 1878, for Rates of Fare.)
§ 505. Every street railroad corporation must provide, and, on request, furnish to all persons
desiring a passage on its cars, any required quantity of passenger tickets or checks, each to be good
for one ride. Any corporation failing to provide and furnish tickets or checks to any person desiring
to purchase the same at not exceeding the rate hereinbefore prescribed, shall forfeit to such person
the sum of two hundred dollars, to be recovered as provided in the preceding section. [ As Amended
March 30, 187k; Amendments, 1873-k, 213.]
§ 506. Upon the trial of an action for any of the sums forfeited, as provided hi the two preceding
sections, proof that the person demanding or receiving the money as fare, or for the sale of the ticket

WATER RATES.
Under the Act of the Legislature, entitled "An Act for the incorporation
of water companies," approved April 22, 1858 (Statutes 1858, page 218),
it waa provided that " the rates to be charged for water shall be de-
termined by a board of commissioners, to be selected as follows: Two-
by such city and, county, or city or town authorities, and two by the
water company; and in case that four cannot agree as to the valua-
tion, then, in that case, the four shall choose a fifth person and he
shall become a member of said board ; if the four commissioners cannot
agree upon a fifth, then the Sheriff of the county shall appoint such
fifth person. The decision of a majority of said board shall determine the
rates to be charged for water for one year, and until new rates shall be estab-
lished." Also, that "all corporations formed under the provisions of this
act, or claiming any of the privileges of the same, shall furnish pure, fresh
water to the inhabitants of such city and county, or city, or town, for family
uses, so long as the supply permits, at reasonable rates and without distinc-
tion of persons, upon proper demand therefor, and shall furnish water ta
the extent of their means to such city and county, or city, or town, in case
of fire, or other great necessity, free of charge." This act also provided
that "all privileges, immunities and franchises that may hereafter be granted
to any individual or individuals, or to any corporation or corporations, re-
lating to the introduction of fresh water into the City and County of San
Francisco, or into any city or town in this St'ate, for the use of the inhabit-
ants thereof, are hereby granted to all companies incorporated, or that may
hereafter become incorporated, for the purposes aforesaid."
At the session of 1875-6 the Legislature passed an Act entitled "An Act
to establish the water rates in the City and County of San Franoisco,'*
approved March 1, 1876 (Statutes 1875-76, page 82), and an amendatory act,
approved April 3, 1876 (ibid, page 760), wherein it was provided that the
Mayor should appoint, subject to the confirmation of the Board of Super-
visors, five citizens to act as a Board of Water Commissioners, whose duty
was to determine and fix annually such rates as shall be just and reasonable
at which pure fresh water shall be furnished by any individual, company or
association engaged therein, or which may hereafter engage in the business
of supplying water to the inhabitants of the City and County of San
Francisco.
920 APPENDIX.
Under the last named act Messrs. Jas. R. Kelly, Jas. M. McDonald, Chas.
Kohler, James O. Rountree and Jacob Z. Davis were appointed by His
Honor, Mayor Bryant, and confirmed by the Board of Supervisors, as Water
Commissioners. On May 31, 1876, said Board of Water Commissioners
established water rates to be paid by consumers of water from July 1, 1876,
to July 1, 1877, which rates were confirmed by Order No. 1,297 of the Board
of Supervisors. Subsequently, on June 7, 1877, said Board established
water rates from July 1, 1877, to July 1, 1878, which were confirmed by
Order No. 1,362 of the Board of Supervisors.
These rates were not observed on the part of the Spring Valley Water
Workp, who continued to collect their usual rates, as determined by the cor"
poration. These acts, specially relating to establishing water rates in the
City and County of San Francisco, were declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court by decisions filed July 5, 1877, in the cases of the Spring
Valley Water Works vs. The City and County of San Francisco, and the
Spring Valley Water Works vs. A. J. Bryant, Mayor and others constituting
the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco.
In the last named case (52 Cal. Reports, 132) the Supreme Court held
that " whatever else was or was not decided in the City and County of San
Francisco vs. The Spring Valley Water Works (48 Cal., 493), that case de-
termines that corporations in this State, except for municipal purposes,
must be formed under general laws, and can exercise no powers except such
as are conferred by such general laws. The power to charge tolls or rates
for water is a franchise conferred on corporations formed under the gen-
eral laws for the formation of water companies, and can be exercised
only in the manner provided for in those laws. In this view, the act 'to
establish water rates in the City and County of San Francisco ' (Statutes
1875-76, page 82), and the act amendatory of and supplementary thereto
(Ibid. 760), so far as they attempt to provide a mode of fixing the rates to
be charged by companies furnis.hing water to the inhabitants of San Fran-
cisco differing from that provided for establishing the rates to be allowed to
other companies formed under the general law, are unconstitutional and
void." * "The importance to the Spring Valley Water
Company, to the City and County, and to the citizens at large, that immedi-
ate steps should be taken towards fixing the rates to be charged for water, in
the mode and manner required by the general law, cannot be overestimated."
In accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court pursuant to the
provisions of the Statute of 1858, referred to, the Board of Supervisors, oil
July 23d and August 13th, 1877, respectively, appointed Messrs. Isaac
Friedlander and H. B. Williams as commissioners on the part of the city and
county, and as members of a Board o.f Commissioners to fix the rates to be
charged for water furnished to the inhabitants; and under date of August
17, 1877, the Spring Valley Water Works notified the Board of the ap-
WATEK KATES. 921
pointment of Messrs. Win. F. Babcock and Chas. Webb Howard on the par
of the company.
The members so appointed selected Jerome Lincoln, Esq., as the fifth
commissioner, and the Board thus constituted, under date of June 1, 1878,
transmitted to the Board of Supervisors on June 3, 1878, the rates to be
charged and collected by persons and corporations engaged in the business
of supplying pure fresh water to the inhabitants of San Francisco. This,
action was the first and the only action had in the matter of fixing water
rates under the act of 1858.
[For proceedings had in establishing water rates vide Appendix to Munici-
pal Reports 1875-76, 1876-7 and 1877-78.]
In the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case of the, Spring Valley
Water Works vs . The City and County of San Francisco (52 Cal. Reports,
111), itwas held "that it is the duty of the Spring Valley Water Works to fur-
nish water free to the city and county in case of fire, and also in case it is de-
manded for irrigating the parks and squares, watering the streets, flushing
the sewers, and in case of any other demand based on a requirement which
is incidental to the discharge by the Supervisors of their duty as local legis-
lators, except where it is to be used by human beings for family purposes.'*
Also, "that the Spring Valley Water Company may charge the ('rdiuary
rates (when they shall have been fixed in the manner required by the general
law) for the water supplied for drinking and culinary purposes ; for the ptir-
poses of lavation and for like domestic uses to the inhabitants or occupants
of the various institutions, penal or charitable, established by or under the
control of the city and county government; to the public schools and to the
public offices; and that it is the duty of the corporation to furnish water free
(to the extent of its means) for the extinguishment of fires and to the Fire
Department, and for all other purposes for which it may be demanded by
the authorities of the city and county in discharge of their direct duties as
governmental agents, being such uses as are distinguishable from 'family
uses,' as hereinbefore defined."
The following Article s of the New Constitution, which went into effect on
January 1, 1880, it was contended, abrogated any rights heretofore possessed
by the city and county to the use of free water, as determined by the Su-
preme Court under the Act of 1858: *
ARTICLE XI.
SECTION 19. * In any city where there are no public works owned and
controlled by the municipality, for supplying the same with water or artificial light, any indi-
vidual, or any company duly incorporated for such purpose under and by authority of the laws
of this State, shall, under the direction of the Superintendent of Streets, or other officer in
control thereof, and under such general regulations as the municipality may prescribe for
damages and indemnity for damages, have the privilege of using the public streets and thor-
oughfares thereof, and of laying down pipes and conduits therein, and connections therewith
922 APPENDIX.
so far as may be necessary for introducing into and supplying such city and its inhabitants
either with gas light or other illuminating light, or with fresh water for domestic and all other
purposes, upon condition that the municipal government shall have the right to regulate the
charges thereof.
ARTICLE XIV.
WATER AND WATER RIGHTS.
SECTION 1. The use of all wa tor now appropriated, or that may hereafter be appropriated,
for sale, rental or distribution, is hereby declared to be a public use, and subject to the regula-
tion and control of the State, in the manner to ba prescribed by law; provided, that the rates
or compensation to be collected by any person, company or corporation in this State for the use
o! water supplied to any city and county, or city or town, or the inhabitants thereof, shall be
fixed annually by the Board or Supervisors, or city and county, or City or Town Council, or
other governing body of such city and county, or city or town, by ordinance or otherwise, in
the manner that other ordinances or legislative acts or resolutions are passed by such body,
and shall continue in force for one year and no longer. Such ordinances or resolutions shall
be pass 3d in the month of February of each year, and take effect on the first day cf July
thereafter. Any Board or body failing to pass the necessary ordinances or resolutions fix ng
water rates, where necessary, within such time, shall be subject to peremptory process to com-
pel action at the suit; of any party interested, and shall be liable to such further processes and
penalties as the Legislature may prescribe. Any person, company or corporation collecting
water rates in any city and county, or .city or town in this State, otherwise than as so estab-
lished, shall forfeit the franchises and water works of such person, company or corporation to
the city and county, or city or town where the same are collected, for the public use.
SEC. 2. The right to collect rates or compensation for the use of water supplied to any coun-
ty, city and county, or town, or the inhabitants thereof, is a franchise, and cannot be exercised
except by authority of and in the manner prescribed by law.
The consideration of this question occupied the attention of the Board,
and on February 24, 1880, the opinion of the City and County Attorney was
requested thereon, who furnished an opinion on February 27th, of which the
following is an extract :
OPINION OF THE CITY AND COUNTY ATTORNEY.
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR
FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO,
SAN FRANCISCO, February 27, 1880.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN— I have respectfully to acknowledge the receipt of the following resolution of
y our Board, to-wit:
• RESOLUTION NO. 14,514 (NEW SERIES).
Resolved, That the City and County Attorney be, and is, hereby respectfully requested to
render his opinion as to the4 liability of the city under the New Constitution to pay for the use
of water for municipal purposes. Also as to whether, in the event of an agreement on the
part of the city to pay for water in the future, such action will render her liable for bills here-
tofore incurred, and to .render such opinion before next Friday evening;
And in reply thereto to state:
First— That in the opinion of this office, this city and county is liable under the "New" Con-
stitution to pay for the use of water furnished by any individual, company or corporation, for
all municipal purposes.
Second That in the opinion of this office, the Ordinances and Resolutions of the Board ot
WATER BATES. 923
Supervisors of this city and county, fixing the rates or compensation for the use of water sup-
plied to the city and county by any person, company or corporation, under the provisions of
said Section 1 of Article XIV of the "New" Constitution, does not t-.tke effect until the first da})
of July, 1850; and that such Ordinances and Resolutions, in my opinion, could not, under the
law, so operate as to create and fix a liability, on the part of this city and county, for any bills
or water that may have been incurred prior to that time.
JOHN LUTTRELL MURPHY,
Attorney and Counselor for the City anJ County of San Francisco.
The Committee on Water and Water Supplies, consisting of Supervisors
Bayly, Litchfleld, Stetson, Doaue and Eastman, and the members of the
Board, were engaged for a period of about four months in the consideration
of the question of establishing water rates, and in order to obtain public
opinions held sessions at which a large number of citizens expressed their
viewe relative to the value of the Spring Valley Water Works, the rate of
interest to be allowed on the valuation, and the compensation to be allowed
for water supplied for municipal purposes.
The following communications were received from the officers of the
Spring Valley Water Works during the progress of the investigation, pre-
senting the views of the Spring Valley Water Works :
COMMUNICATION OF CHAS. WEBB HOWARD, PRESIDENT OF
THE SPRING VALLEY WATER WORKS.
To Ihe Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the (Jity and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN- I am glad to avail mys'-lf of the opportunity which your open sessions offer,
not only to give yoti full information of the resources of the Spring Valley Water Company,
its sources of supply, ability to meet the wants of the city, the value and cost of its works, the
income which it receives, and the principle upon which its rates are adjusted; but also to cor-
rect many misapprehensions which exist in the public mind with reference to the above
matters, and which a thorough investigation of the water question will, I think, largely
remove.
The Spring Valley Water Company was incorporated under the laws of 1853 and 1858 with
reference to water companies, and was the assignee of the privileges enjoyed by George II. En
sign and his associates, under an act passed April 23, 1858, which authorized George H. Ensign
and others (owners of the Spring Valley Water Works) to lay down water pipes in the City and
County of San Francisco.
This act provides that the rates to be charged for water should be fixed by five commission-
ers, two of whom should be appointed by the Board of Supervisors, two by the water company?
and the four to choose a fifth. The act also provided that the rates so established should not
be so low as to yield less than twenty per cent per annum on the cost of the works. It is true
that this act was afterward declared unconstitutional, but I refer to its provisions to show what
was then considered a reasonable reward to owners of water works for expenditures .made and
risks incurred in the construction of such works.
This act having been adjudged unconstitutional in 1874, the Spring Valley Company was
obliged to look to the General Laws of 1853 and 1858 as the measure of its rights and duties.
924 APPENDIX.
The law of 1853 also provided that the rates to be charged for water should be determined by a,
board of commissioners, to be selected, two by the city, two by the water company, and in case
of disagreement, the fifth commissioner to be selected by the four. This provision was a fair
one, for it left the rates to be fixed by arbitration between the city and the company. No ac-
tion was taken, either by the city or company, to appoint commissioners until 1877, when a
board of commissioners was appointed, as provided by law, which reduced the water rates ten
per cent. Their action caused a reduction of the dividends of this company on its capital stock
of eight millions, from nine per cent to eight per cent, and resulted in giving- to the company
an income barely sufficient to pay its running expenses, the interest on its indebtedness, and
dividends to its stockholders, leaving little or nothing for a surplus fund for future improve-
ments, and nothing for a sinking fund to meut its indebtedness.
It was hoped that this action would meet the approval of the community, quiet agitation on
the water question, and give the company an opportunity to borrow money at low rates of in-
tarest, and thereby enable it to reduce its rates to the consumer. But the subject was too fruit-
ful of agitation, and the result is that by ths provisions of the New Constitution the power to
fix the reward to be given to this company for the expenditures made and risks incurred in its
enterprise has been given absolutely to the very parties interested in making that reward as
small as possible, viz: the consumers themselves, through the Board of Supervisors, who are
their political representatives. The extent of this pjwer is perhaps little understood. It prac-
tically makes the will of the buyer supreme as to the price to be paid. It would be regarded as
an anomaly in business life if the man who buys should have the power to fix the prica which
he is to pay — that the purchaser of iron should have the power to fix arbitrarily its price per
pound; that the laborer should furnish his labor and receive only that which his employer is
willing to give— in other words, that the pri-je of the commodity, in the one case, and the labor,
in the other, should be absolutely in the control of but one party to the transaction, and that
party not the one that furnishes the desired commodity or labor, but the one that requires it.
Yet this is the extraordinary power vested in your honorable body _over the compensation of
this company— a power which involves the control of all the other powers of this corporation,
which has existed for years, and which has expended millions of dollars in its enterprise; for as
this company was formed for gai i, the power to limit its income necessarily includes the con
trol of all its other powers, just as the greater includes the less.
The New Constitution put the rates entirely under the control of the consumers, and the
effect of this was, that at the last municipal election each of the three political parties then in
the field offered the property of this company to the lowast bidder. By reference to the plat-
forms of the various parties, it will be seen that their representatives were directly or inferen-
tially pledged to a reduction of from twenty-five to twenty per cent upon the present rates. It
would be regarded as a shameful thing to pledge a judge to render a certain judgment. I re-
frain from comment upon the action of these political parties, which call upon their represen-
tatives, who act in this matter judicially, to render a preordained judgment in relation to the
value and income of this company, without any knowledge of tha facts, the amount of money
expended in the enterprise, or the risk incurred.
The Supervisors, then, stand as the representatives, not only of the consumers, but of the
city, and they are to determine the income of the Spring Valley Water Works.
If the pledges set out in the political platforms of various parties are to be observjd, the net
income of this company will be reduced nearly one-half; and the effect on the stock will be
a reduction from nearly par to forty or forty-five dollars per share. In a word, by a stroke
of the pen, between three and four million dollars of values, held by citizens of this community,
will be stricken out.
But I will do more than make a general assertion. I understand that the Republican plat-
form favors a reduction of twenty par cent, on the existing rates. Mr. Stetson has introduced a
resolution which is in excess of the demands of either party, and if it prevails, disaster will
necessarily follow. The income of the company, for the year ending June 1, 1879, was $1,258,-
000. The sum wes almost entirely expended as follows:
WATER RATES. 925
Operating expenses $300,000
Interest on debt of about $4,000,000 287,000
Dividend on capital stock, $3,000,000 at 8 per cent, per annum. . . 640,000
Total 81,227,000
If the income of the company should be reduced- twenty per cent., its total income would be
about $1,000,000.
Assuming that the operating- expenses and interest during the coming year will be the same
as during the last, this sum would be expended as follows:
Operating expenses $300,000
Interest on debt of about $4,000,000 287,000
Dividend on capital stock, $8,000,000 at 5 per cent, per annum. . . 400,000
Total 8987,000
In other words, this would leave almost nothing for future improvements, or for a sinking
fund to meet the indebtedness, and would reduce the dividends from eight to five per cent.
The value of the stock would instantly fall from its present value to forty or forty-five dol-
lars per share. Such a sweeping reduction this year would be regarded as a prophecy of a fur-
ther reduction in the future, and would produce a feeling of great insecurity among stockhold-
ers. I call these facts to your attention for the reason that I assume that they were not known
when the political platform in question was adopted. I feel assured that you will not deem
yourselves bound to do a great and lasting injustice in order to comply with the provision of a
platform, which was probably inserted as a mere device to catch votes, without any responsibil-
ity on the part of those who framed it, and without knowledge upon which to base it. Taking
it for granted that you intend to act justly as between this company and the consumers, and
that you are not disposed to take away from the company its just dues in order to be liberal to
the rate. payers, I will not dwell longer upon this matter. Permit me to add a few words, how-
ever, as to thi nature and extent of this enterprise, its cost, the income that is required to
meet its demands and contemplated improvements.
The Spring Valle}' Water Company has been in existence for more than twenty years. The
moneys expended in the construction and maintenance of its works are far in excess of the sum
upon which it at present receives an income. It has not received a dollar of subsidy. No gift
whatever has been made to it by the public. It owns, by an absolute title, 18,000 acres of land,
in connection with its works, and a large amount of real estate in San Francisco, used for reser-
voirs and other purposes. The property which it holds is vested in it by a fee-simple title,
with the exception of a few acres in San Mateo county, which it obtained by judgment in con-
demnation proceedings.
It is true the right has been given it to lay its pipas in the streets of San Francisco, but this
is as much for the benefit of the consumers as thj company. It was no exclusive privilege, for
any other water company has had and could have exercised the same right. It involved the
city in no expense, for wherever the water company had laid down its pipes it was obliged to re-
pair the streets at its own cost.
Previous to the adoption of the New Constitution, the system of collecting the income of
water companies was unequal, under the law, for, whilst the larger portion of the outlay was
for the purpose of supplying the city with water for protection against fires, cleansing sewers,
and watering streets, yet this company was obliged, by its charter, to collect its entire income
from the house-holders and rate-payers only. This has occasioned the controversy between the
city and the company, and has been the cause of the excessive rates.
In other cities, the water works are generally owned and controlled by the municipalities,
and the income necessary to pay the interest on the indebtedness incurred in the construction
and the running: expenses, and to form a fund for future improvements, is, in the main, col-
lected by taxes on the general property, and by licenses on general occupations and business.
Thus the burden falls very lightly on the rate-payers. Here, however, the whole income of the
company has been collected from rate-payers. The fault of the system was in the law itself
926 APPENDIX.
y.:t tlu public has been impressed with the idea that the excessive rates arose from the extor-
tion of the company.
The Spring Valley Water Company is content with a fair income upon its investment. It has
never sought more. It seeks no more now. So long as that income was secure, and the public
were contented with the system of distribution of rates, the company had no reason to com-
plain, but when the cry is raisrd that the rates are excessive, that the; Spring Valley Company
discriininatjs as between rate payers, then it becomes the privilege of the company to call the
attention of the public to the real cause of the excessive rates, and to the greatest discrimination
and inequality of all, namely, that between the great consumer, the city, on the one side, and
the 18,000 rate-payers on the other.
The value of the Spring Valley Water Works can only be ascertained by comparison with
the cost of other schemes. As there are no other water works in existence capable of supply-
ing San Francisco, the only mode of determining the value of the Spring Valley Water Works
is by ascertaining for what sum an equal supply can be obtained from some other source. This
whole matter has been thoroughly investigated by the Water Commissioners, and by the able
engineers appointed by them during the last few years; and it is safe to say that no water
works can be obtained or constructed, of a capacity equal to that of the Spring Valley
scheme, for a less expenditure than twice its cost. But the objection is made to this mode of
computation that Spring Valley has prevented all competition, by obtaining all the available
sources of supply within a reasonable distance of San Francisco. In reply, I would say that the
company would have met with deserved criticism, had it failed, in the exercise of an intelli-
gent foresight as to the future wants of this city, to have purchased property necessary to its.
scheme.
It is a singular proposition that all other property in San Francisco should increase in yalue
with the growth of the population, whilst the Spring Valley property is denied any increase
whatever. The promoters of this scheme invested their money just as other people in San
Francisco did in real estate, upon the faith of a large city being bnilt up on this peninsula.
They risked their money upon the enterprise, and had the citj' failed to develop, as it was once
feared it would (during the Fraser River excitement), the property of the company would have
been almost valueless, All property is valuable only in connection with the uses to which it is
put. A lot may be valueless as a residence, and yet valuable for business purposes. A lot
which affords accommodations for a wharf may be more valuable than one which immediately
adjoins it without any water facilities. So the property of the Spring Valley Company has an
increased value in connection with the uses to which it is put. It consists of immense tracts of
real estate, upon which artificial lakes have been constructed, in which are stored waters col-
lected upon the lands of the company. To say that these lands and artificial lakes have not a
value commensurate with the enterprise displayed in their purchase and construction, their
adaptability to the end desired, the growth of the city and the future wants of the community,
is to strike out all the elements which constitute value in any business community, and to do
away with all business-like modes of computing values.
As to the cost of the Spring Vallej' Water Works, I have to say that it has been estimated
by experts and competent book-keepers, and has been fixed at a sum far in excess of the amount
upon which the company at present realizes an income.
Permit me to say a few words with reference to the resolutions recently introduced by Mr.
Schottler. They contain a recital to the effect th.vt the Spring Valley Water Works were offered
to the Water Commissioners for $11,800,000, and conjlude with a resolution to the effect that
the income of the company should be limited to seven per cent, upon this valuation.
As to the assertion that "Spring Valley Water Works were offered to the Water Commission-
ers for $11,800,000," I have to say that the lowest offer ever made or authorized by this com-
pany was $13,500,000, and no lower valuation has ever been placed by the company on its
works.
As to the income, Mr. Schottler doubtless lost view entirely of the operating expenses of the
company, for an ordinance passed in accordance with his resolutions would give the company
only seven per cent on $11,800,000, or an income of $826,000 a year. This would not much
more than suffice to pay the running expenses of the company and the interest on its indebted-
WATEK KATES. 927
•
ness. But even were operating expenses to the extent of $300,000 a year provided for in the
ordinance, that income would not be sufficient.
If the principle is to be adopted that this company is to be limited to an income on the eosfc
of its works plus the running expenses, then I have to say that a fair rate of interest upon the
cost of the works should not be less than nine per cent. Monoy is worth what it will bring in
the market. The Spring Valley Company is at present paying upon a portion of its indebted-
ness nine per cent, upon another portion seven per cent, and upon another portion six per cent.
The bonds which havj been sold bt-aring six per cent interest run for a period of twenty-five
years from their sale, and were sold at a discount of twelve and one-half per cent. Scatter;' n ;
this over a period of twenty-five years, and bearing in mind the fact that it is paid in ad vane 3,
makes the real interest on this portion of the indebtedness over seven per cent per annum. The.
bondholders have the first mortgage upon the property. Their claims fco the extent of $4,000,-.
000 are to be satisfied before the stockholders receive anything. They take, therefore, muck
less risk, and can afford to let their money at a less rate of interest than the stockholder. It
would be the height of injustice to allow the stockholder, who stands all the risk of the enter-
prise, to receive only a rate of interest equal to that of the bondholder, and I claim that two per
cent advance is only a fair and reasonable allowance.
Let me add here that the agitation of this water question during the past four or five years is
producing an injury to the community as well as to the company. The city is interested in the
extension of the Spring Valley Water Works to meet its growing wants. In order to make the
improvements that have been required, the company has been obliged to borrow money. It
recently, with the view of taking up indebtedness about to become due, negotiated its bonds to
the extent of $4,000,000, upon which it was obliged to submit to a discount of twelve and one-
half per cent. This was due entirely to the feeling of insecurity occasioned by the agitation of
the water question . Capitalists were unwilling to loan their money to a corporation whose
rates were at any time likely to be regulated to the point of confiscation. The bonds could not
be negotiated in San Francisco at all, and were finally put upon the market in New York with
the above result.
Agitation makes it difficult for the company to obtain money with which to meet the needed
improvements. It increases rates of interest and subjects the company to loss in many ways.
Such loss must eventually fall upon the consumer, for the cost of water to the consumer must
increase just in proportion as the extension, improvement and operation of the water works are
made more expensive to the company. If matters were entirely settled between the commu-
nity and this company, money could be procured for a much less rate of interest, and thus the
rates to consumers be gradually diminished.
This agitation produces another injury to the company and to the community, and that is,
that it forces the company into comparative inactivity with reference to needed improvements.
For instance, the company has gone to great expense in constructing an immense artificial lake
call'.!.l the "Crystal Springs Reservoir." It is n >w full, and contains 4,000,000,000 gallons of
water. None of the water from this lake is at present used, for the reason that it is not con-
nected with the city by a pipe line. An expenditure of seven or eight hundred thousand dol-
lars would con.luct the water into this city; it would bring into employment a large number of
man, anl thus, for a comparatively trifling cost, amounting annually to between sixty and sev-
enty tho isand dollars, in the way of interest, the supply of the city would be almost doubled.
How can this company be expected to mortgage its property for an additional sum of sev-
en or eight hundred thousanl dollars, paying an interest thereon of six per cent per annum,
and submit even then to a disc 'Hint in advance, which really raises the rate of interest to over
seven pel1 cent, when the interest on its investment is in danger of being so regulated that the
compiny will receive less than it pays? What stimulus is there for enterprise, if the company
is to receive only that rate of interest which it pays? The stockholders of private corporations
do not conduct public works as public benefactors. Their object is to make money; and if they
are deprived of profit, all stimulus to exertion falls to the ground.
In conclusion, permit me to say that it is time that this agitation was ended. It is for the
interest of both th j company and the community that there should be peace. The company has
been obliged, in y^ars past, to oppose many oppressive bills in the Legislature, which looked to
928 APPENDIX.
•
an undue regulation and the confiscation of its property. The company owns its lands and
property by as absolute a title as can be held, and has been, and is determined to maintain and
protect its rights of property as fully as any individual might do under similar circumstances.
It is desirous, however, of meeting the community upon some just basis, and is glad of the op-
portunity now offered to correct, by a public investigation, many misapprehensions which exist
in the public mind. All the company asks is a just valuation of its works, the allowance of a
fair and reasonable rate of interest thereon — not less than eight or nine per cont.— its operating
expenses and a reasonable rate of interest on moneys expended in the future for construction.
If the company is guaranteed just treatment, it will go on with improvements, which are neces-
sary to the future growth of the city; and, as the company will be compelled to expend but a
comparatively small sum of money within the next ten years for construction, the increase in
the number of consumers, and a more equal apportionment of rates, as between the city and
the consumers, will gradually bring about diminished rates to the rate-payer.

COMMUNICATION OF II. SCHUSSLER, CHIEF ENGINEER SPRING VALLEY WATER
WORKS.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable
Board of Supervisors of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN— I take the liberty of calling the attention of your honorable body to the pro-
priety and necessity of the Spring Valley Water Works taking steps, in the near future, to
complete the Crystal Springs Scheme in the manner contemplated. The work proposed is as
follows:
1. To finish the Crystal Springs dam to its contemplated night.
2. To construct a substantial waste weir.
3. To construct a conduit from this reservoir to San Francisco.
4. To construct a distributing reservoir at the end or outlet of this conduit in San Francisco.
5. To connect this reservoir by a large iron main pipe with the pipe system of San Francisco.
Heretofore the policy of the Spring Valley Water Works has always been not only to try and
have an abundant supply of water on hand in the peninsula and city reservoirs, but also to
have the pipe-lines leading the water from each respective reservoir into San Francisco of a capa-
city larger than the largest daily demand.
In spite of our efforts to decrease the waste of water in San Francisco, yet the demand for
water had again so increased in the Summer and Fall of 1879, that on many occasions the pipe
leading from San Andreas Reservoir, which supplies about two-thirds of the city, was taxed to
its utmost capacity, sometimes for over two weeks successively, especially as we endeavored
always to keep a good supply of water on hand in the respective city distributing reservoirs, for
fire and supply purposes. Yet this excessive demand for water caused a general lack of pres-
sure through the entire lower and business portion of the city.
The large main along Valencia and Market streets, being the main artery of the distributing
system of the San Andreas water, is, during such times of extraordinary demand, taxed to
such an extent that, although if even the College Hill Reservoir, from which it issues, were
ull, yet the pressure in the business portion of the city is materially reduced in the daytime.
This excessive demand, occurring always in the dry season, and often during the period when
high winds prevail, a co.iflagration occurring at such a time, and when the water pressure is
materially reduced, might soon assume dimensions beyond the control of our Fire Depart-
ment.
WATER BATES. 929
If it was simply a question of supplying water for domestic purposes only, and for fire and
municipal purposes to the extent of our means, there would be no necessity for me to urge, nor
for the Spring Valley Water Works to contemplate, the extension of our works for many years
to come; should, therefore, during such a p?riod of great demand, the pressure be so reduced
that the water would not flow into the tanks on the tops of the houses, the consumers would
have to be content to draw it at a lower story; while the Fire Department would have to take it
under such a pressure as that to which the excessive drafts of the consumers had reduced it.
Although this company has not received a dollar for water furnished for fire purposes, yet a
large portion of its expenditures has been incurred in order to secure this city from any
serious conflagration . I defy anybody to point out a water works in the United States that
has better, more central, or higher reservoir locations, and that has more effectually and
promptly extinguished fires and prevented their spreading during the past fifteen years.
At the same time, you are aware that in some parts of our city, and especially in portions of
the district south of Market street, parts of the pipe system, although sufficient for domestic
purposes, should be improved for fire purposes. This improvement is contemplated in the
completion of the Crystal Springs scheme, as herein recommended.
Up to date we have already expended at Crystal Springs a large sum of money for lands,
rights and works. The dam is built to a height of about fifty feet, forming a reservoir of a
capacity of 3,830,000,000 gallons. The lake being full, it overflows through the waste weir during
the rainy season, the water running to waste into the bay. The pumping works erected at Crys
tal Springs during the drought of 1877 can pump 3,000,000 gallons daily, but at great expense,
as firewood is getting scarcer and dearer in the neighborhood, and coal requires transportation
by rail or team via San Mateo and over a tollroad. At the same time, in order to utilize these
pumping works during such period of excessive demand, we are compelled to pump the water
from the level of the- pumps to an elevation of 635 feet above tide, run it into San Francisco
through the Upper or Pilarcitos pipe-line, and, after arriving in San Francisco, drop it down
into the San Andreas supply district, which lies at and covers the lowest, but most valuable,
portion of San Francisco. In order, therefore, to stop this costly up-hill work, and to properly
utilize the water annually collected and stored in the Crystal Springs reservoir, and particularly
to secure a more abundant supply for fire purposes, as detailed above, I have strongly recom-
mended to the Spring Valley Water Works to complete the Crystal Springs dam to its
contemplated hight of seventy-five feet; build a substantial waste weir to carry off the freshet
waters when the lake is full; construct a substantial wrought-iron pipe^ forty inches in diameter
and about twenty-one miles in length, from Crystal Springs into San Francisco, having a daily
delivering capacity of nearly 12,000,000 gallons ; construct a large distributing reservoir in the
southern part of San Francisco, and at the end of this forty-inch pipe; lay from this reservoir
and along Folsom street, to or toward the city front, a twenty-four inch iron main pipe, to
which all pipes running across the entire length of Folsom street would be connected, as well
as the parallel pipes, thereby securing the district east of Valencia and south of Market street
a complete supply, and good pressure and thorough circulation; the proposed twenty-four-inch
Folsom street main forming the main artery of this entire district.
The duty of the San Andreas water would thereby be reduced from its present excessive area
to a comparatively narrow strip, including Market street and the lower or flat area west of
Valencia and north of Market street; while Pilarcitos water and that from Lobos Creek would
take care of the hills and higher parts of the city .
The cost of the works herein proposed I estimate as follows:
Completing Crystal Springs dam, inclusive of waste weir $ 70,000
Twenty-one miles of 40-inch pipe, complete in the ground 600,000
Reservoir in San Francisco, of a capacity of 50,000,000 gallons, inclusive of land 110,000
Four miles of 24-inch pipe main on Folsom street, complete in the ground and con-
nected 170,000
Replacing small mains by larger ones in this district, to improve pressure and circula-
tion 50,000
Total cost $1,000,000
59
930
APPENDIX ;
I also propose to connect the large twenty-two inch main pipe on Valencia and Market
streets, which will be the main artery of the middle city supply, with this lower or Crystal
Springs system, and also the twenty-two inch main pipe from Lake Honda, forming the main
artery of the upper city supply, with the twenty-two inch main on Valencia and Market streets.
These respective connection gates between the upper and middle city supplies, and between the
middle and lower city supplies, being kept shut ordinarily, could be instantly opened in case the
supply in any one of the other districts should become weak and the pressure low during an ex-
tensive conflagration, which would bring the entire supply stored in the next higher district,
to the assistance of the one requiring it.
The following table shows our reservoirs in San Francisco, their elevation above city base,
»nd their contents, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 being the reservoirs completed and in operation
while No. 6 represents the one herein proposed, to complete the entire scheme:

By thus dividing the city into three districts, viz. , the upper, middle and lower districts, we
apportion the city more appropriately than we have been able to do heretofore, without the in-
troduction of the Crystal Spriiigs water
WATER BATES. 931
The upper district uses about one-third, the new middle district would use about one-sixth,
and the new lower district about one-half of all the water consumed in the city. As, with the
above disposition of the city reservoirs, the upper district would have about 33,500,000 gallons
storage, the middle district about 17.000,000, and the lower district about 56,500,000 gallons, in
their respective city reservoirs, these storage capacities are very nearly in proportion to the
water used in the respective districts.
In addition to these extraordinary facilities for extinguishing- fires, I wish to call the atten-
tion of your honorable body to the facilities which we have for sending an additional supply
into this city in case of or during any extensive conflagration.
All our works being connected by telegraph with each other and with the cit}7, we could
instantly order the following heads of water turned on:
Gallons Daily.
From Pilarcitos 11,000,000
From San Andreas 9,500,000
From Crystal Springs 12,000,000
From Lake Merced 7,000,000
From Lobos Creek 2,000,000
Making a daily total of 41,500,000
Which could be turned into the city reservoirs during such a calamity to assist the amount of
110,000,000 gallons kept on hand in the city reservoirs.
Upon this showing I venture to say, and I have no doubt that yo^ir honorable body, as well
as the Fire Department and the Board of Underwriters, will agree with me, that our city will,
have the best system of fire protection in the world, as it has now one of the best in the United
States.
The question now is, Who is to pay for all this ? Shall the Spring Valley Water Works incur
an additional indebtedness of another million dollars, which would swell their debt to five mil-
lion dollars, where I maintain, and am ready to prove, that two of these five millions are and
will be owing to the endeavor of the company to give the city an almost absolute protection
against fires ? And yet they not only receive no compensation for all this extra work and out-
lay, but they are threatened, in the bargain, to have their income so cut down that not only
the many stockholders, who have invested their money in good faith in the stock, will meet
with a heavy and entirely unwarranted loss, but also all future work will have to stop short;
and although our city will keep on growing, the water supply will have to remain at a standstill.
The question, whether the consumer shall bear the burden of this tax, is very easily answered
by saying that he is already over-burdened, and instead of being taxed with the entire expendi-
ture necessary for watering parks, streets, public buildings, and above all, protecting $100,000,000
worth of insurable property against fire, as he has had to do heretofore, and is doing to-day, the
consumer should be relieved by reducing his rate; while the owners of the $100,000,000
worth of insurable property, whose rates are reduced at least one par cent annually on account
of our effective fire protection, or in an aggregate at least $1,000,000 per annum, can well afford
to contribute, say, one-quarter of this reduction, or say $250,000, annually toward the relief of
the rate-payers.
Should this amount of $250,000 annually be taken out of the General Fund, it would only
amount to ten cents on every $100 of the total tax value of San Francisco of $250,000,000, and
would therefore fall very lightly on the parties most benefited. The most suitable way of as-
sessing this annual amount would be by charging a certain rate for each hydrant, not only for
the water used out of the same, but also for the general protection an effective water supply
gives to property in this city. This same course is adopted in many Eastern cities, and has
been settled upon as the most satisfactory plan for adjusting the price paid by the community
for the protection against fires.
Of the above estimate of the cost of the proposed Crystal Springs works, or the lower city
supply, of $1,000,000, about $425,000 would go East for iron and rivets, while the balance of
$575,000 would be expended here, mostly for labor. This sum, expended among our deserving
932 APPENDIX.
white laboring men and mechanics, at a time when labor is so scarce and yet so many willing
hands are idle, would largely relieve the present distress.
In the above I have tried to explain the intimate connection existing between the welfare of
the cify and that of the water company. In my opinion your honorable body should treat the
Spring Valley Water Works, watch over its welfare and foster its prosperity aud development,
just in the same manner as if the works actually belonged to the city, as the proposed destruc-
tion of the company's credit, home and abroad, will naturally be followed by the immediate
abandonment of an}r and all future improvements. Any inequitable and unjust action of your
honorable body in this matter would naturally be first felt by the stockholders of the company,
a large majority of whom are comparatively poor citizens of this community; but the effect of
such action would in due time rebound with severity against the citizens at large, when they
see this fair city in ashes.
Most respectfully,
H. SHUSSLER,
Chief Engineer Spring Valley Water Works.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 25, 1880.
COMMUNICATION OF CHAS. WEBB HOWARD, PRESIDENT OF THE SPRING VALLEY
WATER WORKS TO CHAIRMAN OF THE WATER COMMITTEE.
Charles A. Bayly, Esq., Chairman Committee on Water and Water Supplies :
SIR :— In reply to your remarks made at the last committee meeting that no definite statement
had yet been made by the Spring Valley Water Works as to the value of its works and the
interest which it expected to receive upon such value, I have to say that the company, though
legally and equitably entitled to a fair income upon a just valuation of its property does not
expect it at present. It does not receive such an income now, and the existing rates will not
secure such an income until the number of consumers shall have been largely increased by the
growth of the city.
If the rule which is applied by every business man to the valuation of his own property is to
be applied to the property of this company, namely, what it would cost to obtain an equal sup-
ply of water from some other source, the value of the Spring Valley Water Works is not less
han thirty million dollars.
If the value of the works is to be determined by their cost, I have to say that the cost is
$17,02^,000, as is clearly shown by an investigation made by John F. Pope, Esq., a professional
expert, who has been engaged upon the company's books for the past two months. At this cost
the Company has acquired resources which by an additional expenditure of $13,500,000 can be
developed so a« to amply supply three million inhabitants. To obtain a like supply New York
City, having expended already $40,000,000, will be obliged to make a further outlay of at least
$14,000,000, or a total of $54,000,000, to obtain that which we can acquire for $30,000,000.
It is true that in 1877 the Company proposed to accept from the city for its property and
works the sum of $13,250,000. That proposition was not based on the Company's estimate of
their value, nor was the sum named at all commensurate with the real value, but it was founded
upon the Company's preferring to consent to sell on terms involving a loss rather than risk the
result of hostility or competition by the city, which might seriously cripple it. It may be as
well to remind the committee that a price set upon property when its future was imperilled, by
circumstances not necessary to be reviewed here, is something very different from a fair and
just valuation of the same property sought to be arrived at for the purpose of establishing by
law the revonue of the company.
Since that time the Company has expended in improvements $500,000.
We have, then, three measures by which to make a valuation of the Spring Valley Water
Works. First, what it would cost to furnish San Francisco with an equal supply of water from
some other source, namely, $30,090,000; second, the cost of the Spring Valley Water Works,
WATER BATES. 933
$17,626,000; third, the amount for which the works were offered to the city in 1877, $13,250,000,
plus expenditures made since, §500,000, total, $13,750,000. The last, as I have already stated,
is not a fair basis for a valuation.
The income of this Company is at present $1,258,000. Of this income $300,000 has been
expended in operating expenses, leaving $958,000 as the net income of the Company, with
which it pays the interest on its indebtedness of four millions, and a dividend of eight per cent
to its stockholders. This net income is not a fair one upon a just valuation of the works. The
public cannot stand an increase of rates; the Company cannot stand a diminution of income;
the Company looks to an increase in the number of its consumers under existing races for a
fair income in the future . The only \vay the consumers' rate can be diminished for the present
is by h&\ ing the city pay a just allowance to the company for protection against fires and for water
used for municipal purposes; that allowance to be credited upon existing rates to consumers.
It is impossible to fix any valuation which will be serviceable at present in regulating the in-
come of the Company, for the present rates do not give a fair rate of interest on a just
valuation, and it is impossible to increase the income, as I have already shown, except by
providing that the city shall pay something in addition to the present rates. This the Company
does not expect, for it proposes to stand by its assurance that the sums paid by the city shall
be allowed pro rata to consumers upon existing rates. If however, the city wishes now to
determine for all time the principles by which the rates shall be regulated, viz: by fixing a
valuation and determining the rates of interest to be allowed, not for the purpose of bringing
the income of the Company up to that limit, but for the purpose of establishing a limit of
income beyond which, in the future, the Company shall not be allowed to go, under existing
rates, we are willing to confer with the Board, and agree upon a just valuation. When the
existing rates shall bring the income of the Company up to an amount sufficient to pay, in
addition to operating expenses, nine per cent upon such agreed valuation and such additional
expenditures as the Company may hereafter make in construction and extension of its works,
then the rates can be diminished so as to prevent the income from increasing beyond such
limit. In this way the rates to consumers can be reduced at once, by the city pajang its just
proportion, and in the near future the increase in the number of consumers will, after the limit
of the Company's income has been reached, result in a further reduction of rates.
I have named nine per cent as a fair rate of interest upon a just valuation for the reason
that the business is a hazardous one. The regulation of rates does not guarantee to the Com-
pany any income, nor does it protect the Company from the competition of the city or of rival
schemes. The Company is its own insurer. If one-half of the city were to be swept away to-
day, it would lose one-half of its income. Pipe lines, aqueducts or dams might give way, and
the loss might be great. These are some of the hazards against which the Company cannot
insure, and concerning which the city gives no guarantee.
In conclusion, then, I will recapitulate and state what the Company would consider fair
principles to be established in the regulation of rates. First, an authorization of the present
rates, together with a fair allowance by the city for protection against fires and for wate used
for municipal purposes, which allowance should be credited upon the rates now charged to
consumers pro rata. Second, as to the future, a determination of principles by which the
income of the Company should be limited ; namely, a just valuation of the works, and an
allowance thereon and upon further expenditures in construction and extension of the works of
nine per cent in addition to the operating expenses. The foregoing limit being reached, the
increase in the number of consumers to tend toward a diminution of rates instead of an increase
of income.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES WEBB HOWARD,
President S. V. W. W.
Various orders were introduced by the members of the Board of Supervis-
ors proposing to establish Water Kates, and taken into consideration. On
May 24th, 1880, the following Reports were presented to the Board by the
Committee on Water and Water Supplies:
934 APPENDIX.
MAJOEITY REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON WATER AND
WATER SUPPLIES.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — Your Committee on Water and Water Supplies, to whom was referred the mat-
ter of ascertaining and reporting their conclusions to your honorable board as to the rates to be
paid by the inhabitants of this city and county for water supplied for their use, with the severa
orders proposing certain rates, would respectfully represent that your committee have invari-
ably invited all the members of the board to attend all the meetings held, so that the questions
involved might be considered by all the members, and lead to a solution and just determination
of this question in the public interests, and so that a valuation basis may be established to com-
pute, determine, and insure just rates for the present and future wants of this great and growing
city.
Under Article 14 of the New Constitution, the rates or compensation to be collected by any
person, company or corporation for the use of water supplied to any city and county, or to the
inhabitants of any city and county, are required to be fixed annually by the Board of Super-
visors.
The City and County of San Francisco, and most of its inhabitants, are supplied with water by
the Spring Valley Water Works. Small portions of the city are supplied by artesian wells
owned by Mr. Bradbury and Mr. Warner, but neither of the latter supply any water to the city
for the extinguishing of fires or for flushing the sewers, though both express their willingness to
do so.
As these individuals supply but small portions of the city, and as the rates which would be
just to the Spring Valley Water Company would also be just to them, your committee will pre-
sent their views as to the principles which should control the action of the city toward the com-
pany.
In response to a general invitation to the public to appear before the committee, many citizens
appeared and presented their views as to the rate of interest, value of the works, and principles
which should regulate the fixing of rates.
As to the interest to be allowed, Mr. Glaus Spreckels stated that he would not invest a dollar
in an enterprise of this kind unless he received 12 per cent, and that in view of the risks, nat-
ural wear and waste, he regarded the business as a hazardous one, adding: "I do not think the
company's revenue can be safely diminished; a serious accident happening might reduce the in-
terest from 12 to 6 per cent."
Ex-Governor Low said: "I would not be willing to invest in such property for anything like
the rate I would in bonds when they run for a definite time, properly secured and providing for
an interest payable annually. In other words, I would not purchase Spring Valley stock unless
it paid a very much larger dividend than would the bonds of the company secured by a first
mortgage upon the property, and running fora definite term— say 25 years at a fixed rate of in-
terest. I would prefer the. bonds at 5 per cent rather than the stock at 8. I consider, too, that,
the property is liable to be affected by the contingencies of the elements. An earthquake
or a sweeping conflagration would cut off a large portion of the revenue for probably some
time afterward. It is the hazard of the business which renders its income unstable, and I
would prefer well-secured bonds, running for 25 years, at 6 per cent., rather than the stock
at 9."
In reply to the inquiry as to the reason why 4 per cent. U. S. bonds were bringing $107£,
while Spring Valley stock, paying 8 per cent., was bringing only §85, Governor Low replied that
in the case of the Government bond the security is ample, and the bonds are free from taxation,
while the Spring Valley stock is not. " But above and beyond that is tho stability. Capital is
timid. You may call it cowardly. It runs at the slightest provocation. It seeks stability
more than it does a large rate of interest. If the city government would guarantee 5 per cent,
for 28 or 30 years, it would make the stock a better investment. * * * In that event, how-
WATER EATES. 935
ever, the city would assume all the risks and hazards, instead of the company. Should the
city establish certain rates, it would be no guarantee of income to the ccmpany."
•John Perry, Jr., a well-known dealer in bonds and securities, said: "The reduction of in-
terest will hurt the stock. When the company reduced its interest from 9 to 8 per cent, it
caused great complaint. The interest should not be reduced because of the contingencies. The
overflowing or breaking of a reserve r wouM subject the company not only to the loss for
repairs, but for damages occasioned to adjoining land. The company should have a good rate
of interest, not less than 10 per cent., and probably 12, when you bear in mind the risks and
uncertainties, and the future needs of the city."
Mr. J. D. Walker, of the firm of Falkner, Bell & Co., considered the business a hazardous
one, and regarded 9 to 10 per cent, in addition to operating expenses as a fair rate of interest
upon a ju -t valuation of the works.
Mr. Bradbury, the owner of artesian we'ls in competition with Spring Valley, thought the
business a hazardous one, and 9 percent, a reasonable rate of interest, stating that he would
not be content with that rate in his artesian well business.
A committee f . om the Real Estate Protective Association, consisting of Messrs. Frink,
Lamb, Weller and Bush, had little to say on the subject of interest, but did not think 8 per
cent, unreasonable. They thought the chief difficulty in the present system was in the inequal-
ity of the apportionment of the rates as between the city and the consumers, and that this
should be remedied by compelling the city to pay one-half of the total income, to be derived by
the company for the water used for muuicipal purposes and protection against fire, and by go
doing re-luce the rates to the 18,000 rate-payers one-half.
The prevailing sentiment or opinion of those who appeared before yotir committee accord-
ed with the foregoing. It is true that Mr. Dougherty and Mr. Hancock presented different
views, the former to the effect that the interest allowed should correspond with that allowed
on United States bonds and with that on county bonds, from 4 to 6 per cent., and that the
whole amount to be paid the company should be paid by the city, and raised by taxation, as.
for other municipal purposes; the latter claimed that the interest of the company ought to be
diminished to correspond with the depressed condition of the times. But United States bonds
are free from taxation, and have the honor a nd property of the whole country as security,
whilo the bonds of the city and county are secured by all the wealth of San Francisco. It is a
financial axiom that the rate of interest increases as the security diminishes. If San Francisco
should issue its bonds at 6 per cent, to the Spring Valley Company for the purchase of its
works, thry would doubtless be taken at par, but the company would have as security for the
payment of the principal and interest of the bonds, not only the water works, but all the taxa-
ble property of the city and county; and if that was the case, the city would run all the risks
in the connection with the business of conducting th^ works. If the city expects that the in-
come of the company should be limited to 6 per cent., It must possess the power to guarantee
the income and assume all the risks of the business.
The proposition to raise by taxation the whole amount to be paid the company, for all the
water supplied, would, in our opinion, be as unjust to property as the present system is ta
the rate-payers.
It also appears in evidence that Spring Valley Water bonds, amounting to several millions
of dollars, bearing interest at 6 per cent., and secured by a first mortgage on the works, were
recently offered here and in New York and London, and the best offer that could be obtained
was 87£ cents on the dollar. This made the real rate of interest on the bonds for the term for
which they were issued over 7 per cent. Ex-Governor Low was of the opinion that, as
the bondholders have the best security, the stockholders have only the surplus after the bond-
holders are satisfied, the stockholders ought to receive at least three per cent, more than the
bondholders. If this conclusion is correct, the rate of interest to which the company is en-
titled would be 10 per cent.
Your committee are satisfied from their investigation that the business must be classed as haz-
ardous, and is subject fo contingencies, in the matter of competition and otherwise, which en-
title it to a rate of interest in excess of the rate prevailing upon mortgages or other first-
class securities. In view of the hazards connected with the business, and the enterprise and
936 APPENDIX.
skill required in its conduct, and the absolute duty on the part of the board to make it a desir-
able investment, so as to insure its efficiency for the protection of life and property, your com-
mittee are of the opinion that the income of such a business is not unreasonable so long as it is
confined within the limits of between 8 and 10 per cent upon a fair valuation of the works, in
addition to operating expenses.
The next question to be determined is. upon what amount does the present income of the
company yield the foregoing rate of interest, in addition to operating expenses. The income
of the company during the last year was, in round numbers, $1,258,000, which was expended as
follows:
Kunning expenses $300,000
Interest on indebtedness 287,000
Dividends to stockholders, 8 per cent on $8,000,000 640,000
$1,227,000
Leaving a surplus of about $31,000.
A detailed statement of the operating expenses was presented to the committee.
Upon being questioned as to the. statement appearing in one of the volumes of the Municipal
Reports that the running expenses of the works were only $100,000, the president of the com
pany replied that the statement referred to only covered the office expenses and salaries; that it
did not cover all the operating expenses of the works; adding that the estimate of $300,000 per
annum for operating expenses was a low one, and that they had amounted to more during the
two previous years. The engineer of the company, Mr . Herman Schussler, also stated that it
would not be safe to estimate operating expenses at less than $25,000 per month.
Assuming, then, that $300,000 is a proper estimate for operating expenses, and deducting this
amount from the total income of the company of $1,258,000, we have $958,000 as net revenue of
the company, which the present rates enable it to collect. This amount, $958,000, is 8 per cent
upon $11,975,000, 9 per cent upon $10,650,000, and 10 per cent upon $9,580,000. Are the Spring
Valley Water Works worth either of these amounts '? If not, the revenue should be diminished,
and the rates correspondingly reduced.
What, then, is the value ? The solution of this question is attended with considerable diffi-
culty.
A variety of views have been urged before the committee as to the correct mode of ascertain-
ing the value of the works.
By some it was insisted that the value should be determined by taking the aggregate market
value of the stock and adding thereto the bonded indebtedness of the corporation, amounting to
$4,000,000. During the examination had by your committee the stock has varied in price in the
market from $83 to its present value, $94 per share. If the market value be estimated at $64,
this mode of calculation would establish the value of the works of the Spring Valley Water
Company at $11,520,000. Others were of the opinion that the market value of the stock is no
indication whatever of the value of the works. It appeared by the testimony of Mr. John Perry,
Jr., a dealer in bonds and securities, that the stocK of the Spring Valley Water Company since
1875 has fluctuated from $110 to $83 per share. This latter depression, he said, was owing to the
adoption of the new Constitution; also, that the stock had always been held as an investment by
parties seeking an income on their capital; that seven-eighths of the stock sold passed through
his hands, and that very little stock had changed hands at these low prices. He further stated
that the action of the Water Commissioners in 1877 affected the stock, and when the commis-
sioners reported in favor of Blue Lakes it sold at $83; that the abandonment of that scheme
ended the agitation, and the stock went up to $90 and $95.
It was also shown in favor of this mode of determining value that in London, recently, when
it was proposed to condemn the water works there, the authorities provided for taking the
property at the market value of the stock, but further inquiry developed the fact that the water
companies there were guaranteed an interest of 10 per cent., although the prevailing rate of
interest there is from 2£ to 5 per cent. Such a high rat j of interest had the effect of making the
market value of the stock many times its par value. Therefore this was a liberal valuation
there.
WATER BATES. 937
The difference between the two cases is, that in London the stock of the water companies has
been protected by allowing them a fixed and liberal rate of interest, and consequently the mar-
ket value of the stock was greater than the value of the works, whilst here the popular impres-
sion that the high rates were due to the extortion of the company instead of the unjust system,
of collecting the entire revenue of the company from the rate payers only, letting property go
free, has produced an agitation of the water question which has depressed the stock below its
real value. Although these fluctuations have varied from 110 to 83, certainly the intrinsic value
of the water works has not thus fluctuated. We must look, then, to some other standard to
measure their value.
By others it was suggested that the works should be valued by taking the par value of the
stock and adding thereto the indebtedness, which should make the works worth $12,000,000.
Your committee do not think this furnishes any absolute standard of the true value of the
works. As corporations are organized, the value of their property may be either greater or
less than the par value of their stock. If the par value of the stock be taken as the measure
of value, then that value might be doubled by simply doubling the stock. Thus, for instance,
the stock of Spring Valley was doubled in 1876, though the extra §8,000,000 of stock has not
been issued. To take either the par value of the present issue, viz, $8,000,000, or the par value
of the increased stock, viz, $16,000,000, would in our opinion be arbitrary.
It was also stated that the works had been offered in 1877 to the city for $11,800,000. The
officers of the Company, however, say that this was unauthorized, and the fact seems to be
established that no such offer was authorized by the Company. The lowest offer made by the
Company was $13,250,000. This was made in 1877, and it is claimed by the officers of the Com-
pany that $500,000 have been since expended on the construction of works. As to the estimate
of value based on this offer, the President of the Company, in a communication to the Board,
makes the following statement :
"It is true that in 1877 the Company proposed to accept from the city for its property and
works the sum of $13,250,000. That proposition was not based on the Company's estimate of
their value, nor was the sum named at all commensurate with the real value; but it was
founded on the Company's preferring to consent to sell on terms involving a loss rather than
risk the result of hostility or competition by the city, which might seriously cripple it. It
may be as well to remind the committee that a price set upon property when its future was
imperilled, by circumstances not necessary to be reviewed here, is something very different
from a fair and just valuation of the same property sought to be arrived at for the purpose of
establishing by law the revenue of the Company. Since that time the Company has expended
on improvements $500,000. '
Your committee cannot justly dispute these reasons, for no man is bound by an offer which
is not accepted. The offer, it is understood, was made as a reduction of a previous offer made
by the Company of its works for $16,000,000, and at a time when it was feared that other and
more costly schemes would be accepted by the city, which would diminish the value of Spring
Valley, and when there was every inducement to compel the Company to make its lowest offer
As to the cost of works, John F. Pope, a competent expert, has recently made a thorough
examination of the books of the Company. He submitted an exhibit, marked "Exhibit C," as
a correct statement of the cost of the works — namely, $18,840,202 37, and stated that the prin-
ciples upon which the cost was ascertained were correct, and were such as would regulate any
business man in estimating such cost. He further stated :
"That the different increases of the capital stock of the Company substantially conformed to
the expenditures made; that the Spring Valley Company was organized June 10, 1858, with a.
capital of $60,000, which was increased June 16, 1860, to $3,000,000; that the San Francisco City
Water Works was organized in August, 1857, with a capital stock of $1,500,000, which was in-
creased June, 1864, to $2,000,000; that these two companies consolidated in February, 1865,
with a capital stock of $6,000,000; that the cost of the works of both companies up to that
date was $5,551,420 89; that up to that date the Spring Valley had paid no dividends, and the
San Francisco City Water Works had paid about $69,000, with this exception the receipts of
both companies have been invested in the works; that in March, 1868, the capital stock was
938
APPENDIX.
incn-ased to $8,000,000, cost at that time $7,969,710 36; that in July, 1876, the capital stock
was increased to $16,000,000, and that the cost at that date was $16,245,659 30."
Mr. Pope's statement was verified by two bookkeepers, both as to the computation and the
principles upon which the cost was ascertained, and by Colonel A. J. Moulder, who stated that
he had examined his report, and entirely coincided with the method adopted by him, saying :
"In theory, I believe it to be faultless. I discovered several errors which amounted to $153,-
825 61, no doubt arising from the haste in which the work was done. The scope and magnitude
of the labor would reasonably require some months work, and Mr. Pope's exhibits are remark-
ably accurate for the time allowed him. I haye examined his exhibits, and regard 'Exhibit C'
as the correct mode of ascertaining the cost. The cost by that exhibit is $18,840,202 37, less
deductions of errors which I have enumerated, amounting to $153,825 61."
As to the estimated value based on cost, your committee believe that while the cost may be
taken as an clement in determining the value of the works, yet it does not go to the extent of
furnishing an absolute standard, for property may be worth twice as much as it cost, or it may
be worth only one-half of what it cost.
It was stated by other persons who appeared before the committee— among them Mr. J. D.
Walker and Coioriel Weller — that the true way of ascertaining the value of the Spring Valley
Water Works was to ascertain what it would cost to bring an equal supply from some other
source. Upon this subject Colonel G. H. Mendell, of the United States Army, who was em-
ployed by the late Board of Water Commissioners, and who made an elaborate report to them,
stated to your committee :
That it would cost not less than $18,300,000 to construct water works capable of supplying San
Francisco with 22,000,000 gallons daily from any other source of supply than from Spring Valley.
That when Crystal Springs shall be connected with the city at an expenditure of $1,000,000,
the Spring Valley Water Wo.'ks should be able to supply San Francisco with between 19,000,000
and 22,000,000 gallons daily. That the cost of increasing the supply from any other source
than from Spring Valley would beinuch greater than from Spring Valley. That with Calaveras,
which he regarded as an indispensable adjunct of Spring Valley, the Company could supply the
demands of 1,390,000 people. That this estimate was based upon the worst case that could
happen — namely, its capacity during two years of drought, when they could not get any water
at all in th sir reservoirs.
The opinion of underwriters who have appeared before us is that Spring Valley affords a
system of protection against fires un equaled in this country, and they ask liberal treatment for
the company, so as to encourage it in increasing its facilities to protect the city against fire.
The evidence is indisputable that the Spring Valley system, as Colonel Mendell terms it, is the
natural system of supply for San Francisco; that it possesses great advantages over any other
system that could be constructed, in cheapness of operation, in efficiency and in ability to meet
the growing requirements of the city; also, in cheapness of increasing the supply. The problem
of supplying San Francisco with water was a , difficult one. Cities like St. Louis, Philadelphia
and Chicago, on the shores of natural rivers or lakes, have only to run a pipe into the river or
lake, construct a distributing system of mains and reservoirs, and the works are complete and
the supply unlimited. San Francisco is situated on a sandy peninsula, far distant from natural
streams; the seasons are dry. It was necessary to construct immense artificial lakes, capable
of storing three years' supply, and connect them with the city by expensive pipe-lines and
aqueducts. The project required great engineering skill, energy and foresight. The works
have, ever since their construction, protected this wooden city from fire.
In view of these facts, your committee believe that the property should be valued as a com-
prehensive system of water works, constructed for and adapted fully to this particular purpose.
The rule of valuation that applies to all properties is the rule of comparison. If a man wishes
to purchase a mill site and mill, he ascertains what similar property, with equal advantages in
location, proximity to market, etc., will cost. All property depends upon the purposes for
which it is or may be used and adapted, for its value, and if it is especially suited to the pur-
pose to which it is put it has an additional value. If this rule should be applied to the Spring
Valley Works, it is demonstrated by Colonel Mendell's statement that they are worth at least
$18,399,200, less $1,000,000, the amount necessary to utilize Crystal Springs lake; but your com-
WATER BATES. 939
mittee are of the opinion that whilst it cannot be claimed that there is no other scheme with
the cost of which Spring Valley can be compared— for there are many which are practicable-
still, the distance and the difficulties to be overcome in introducing water from other sources
are so great that we do not think this standard should be adopted. Yet it should be considered
in arriving at a valuation. We have, therefore, from the foregoing, five estimates of the value
of the Spring Valley Water Works:
1st. The market value of the stock, $94 per share, with the debts added, making. . .$11,520,000
2d. The par value of the stock, with debts added, making 12,000,000
3d. The offer the Spring Valley Company made in 1877, of $13,250,CQO, to which is
to be added $300,000, being the cost of construction since that time 13,750,000
4th. The cost of the work as per Pope's report, verified by Colonel Moulder 18,686,376
5th. The amount that it would cost to introduce 22,000,000 gallons daily
into San Francisco from sources of supply other than Spring
Valley as per Colonel Mendell's statement $18,399,200
From which is to be deducted 1,000,000
That being the amount necessary to expend in connecting Crystal
Springs Lake with the city, in order to make the supply of Spring
Valley equal to 22,000,000 gallons daily.
Balance $17,399,200
Which of the foregoing estimates is correct ? The fact is, there is no absolute standard of value,
and the only way is to take all the estimates named into consideration and thus arrive at a
conclusion as to the value of the works. Your committee are of the opinion that the
true value of the works should b3 fixed at some point between $12,000,000 and §17,-
000,000, the former sum being too low and the latter too high; but they differ as to the
precise value, and deem it unnecessary to fix it, for the reason that their only duty is
to ascertain whether or not the present income of the company is unreasonable. Your
committee have already assumed that a revenue of between eight and ten per cent upon a fair
valuation of the works, in addition to operating expenses, is not unreasonable, and, as we have
already shown, the company is at present realizing a net revenue of eight per cant upon
$11,974,000, nine per cent upon §10,650,003, and ten percent upon f,),5SO,000. It appears clearly,
then, that neither of these amounts equals even the lowest limit which can ba placed upon the
value of Spring Valley, viz: $12,000,000.
The next question to dstermine is, whether the burden is equally apportioned; in other
words, whether or not any discrimination exists. Under the law prior to the New Constitution
the company was compelled to furnish water free to tho city for all municipal purposes, and
during th'3 last twenty years it has collected from the city about $6,000. In other words, the
whole burden of the annual cost of supplying San Francisco has fallen on about 18,000 rate-
payers, and thny have thus paid, not simply for water ussd for domestic purposes, but also for
all the water used by the city in its public squares and parks, for flushing sewers an I protect-
ing all the property in the city against fires. It would certainly be a matter of complaint, if
any man or set of men should receive water free, whilst others were obliged to pay. It is
equally unjust that the city should receive water free, whilst the 18,000 rate-payers pay the
whole income of the company; there is no discrimination more unfair, more unjust. It is a
discrimination in favor of the large tax-payer and against the poor rate-payer.
So self-evident is this discrimination, that of all those who appeared before us, but one upheld
the justice of the present system; all the others admitted that the city should pay, but there
was some difference of opinion as to what amount should be so paid. A few contended that the
city should pay only for the water it actually used, but almost all contended that the city should
pay for protection against fires, not simply for the amount of water used to extinguish fires, but
for the protection which property received, and which reduced the rates of insurance, it being
claimed that the city should pay for water the protection which water gives, just as it pays for
lighting the streets or for police protection. By most it was considered that the city should pay
at least one-half, and that this payment should be used to reduce the rates to consumers one-
half. These views were presented by Claus Spreckels, Esq. , whose pecuniary interests would,
940 APPENDIX.
if he had been influenced by them, lead .him to a contrary opinion, for his property is in the
main supplied by artesian wells, and also by Governor Low, and they were pressed with great
vigor by the committee from the Real Estate Protective Association, and by many others.
It is true that Mr. Hancock urged the point that the obligation of the company to furnish
water to the city free of charge was a contract, which could not be affected by the new Consti-
tution. But if this be so, then the entire section of the law in question, which provided that the
city should have water frea, constituted the contract; and as this section alao provided that the
rates should be fixed by commissioners — two to be appointed by the city, two by the company,
and the fifth to be appointed by the four— it follows that, if the law constituted a contract and
the Constitution could not change it, then this board has no right to fix the rates at all. Your
committee have no hesitation in saying that the law which provided so inequitable a system of
apportioning the burden of the water supply ought to have been repealed; and we are advised
by the City and County Attorney, and by W. C. Burnett, ex-City and County Attorney, and by
the Hon. John F. Swift, that it was repealed by the new Constitution, and that under it
the city and county is compelled to pay. To those of our wealthy tax-payers who oppose this
view, we have only to state our belief that the continuation of so unjust a system will only result
in a clamor for the purchase of water works by the city, with the view of compelling property to •
pay, as it does elsewhere, almost all the cost of the water supplv, thus making the rates to con-
sumers merely nominal. Your committee are not, however, prepared to say that the city should
pay so large a proportion as one-half of the annual cost — conceiving that it would be sufficient'
to fix the city's rates in such a manner as to pay about one-fourth of the annual income of the
company, and reduce the rates to consumers to that extent. We have, therefore, fixed the rates
for fire-hydrants and for municipal purposes so that they will yield this proportion, and have
provided, in the order submitted, that when paid monthly by the city to the company, a reduc-
tion of 25 per cent, shall be made upon the bills of consumers for the following month.
Your committee beg leave, as the result of their labor, to report the following conclusions :
First— That the principle which should govern the regulation of rates is, that the Spring Val-
ley Water Works is entitled, in addition to operating expenses, to a fair rate of interest upon
the value of its works.
Second— That a fair rate of interest is between 8 and 10 per cent.
Third— That the income at present derived from existing rates, after deducting operating
expenses, does not equal even 8 per cent, upon the value of the works.
Fourth— That the old system of collecting rates, which placed the whole burden upon the
rate-payers, is unjust and inequitable, and is the real cause of the great dissatisfaction with the
rates.
Fifth— Th&t this system has been abolished by the new Constitution, and that, under the new
Constitution, the city is compelled to pay for water for all municipal purposes.
Sixth— That the rates of the city should be fixed and established as to yield about one-fourth
of the revenue of the company, and that the payments made by the city should not increase the
revenue of the company, but should be allowed upon existing rates to consumers, so as to reduce
the same 25 per cent.
Your committee recommend the final passage of the order introduced by Supervisor Bayly.
It establishes more uniform rates than those at present collected by the Spring Valley Company.
It takes as a basis the schedule of rates established by the commissioners in 1878, which fixed
the rates for family uses only. As the new Constitution requires that the Board of Supervisors
should fix the rates for all purposes, the rates for different places of business heretofore collected
have been added to the schedule. In it the provision which required an additional charge of
twenty -five cents for each member of a family over five is stricken out. The schedule of 1878
fixed a maximum in many cases above the rates actually charged.
From this maximum the proposed ordinance deducts 20 per cent. Under the old schedule the
lowest rate was $2, with 10 per cent off, or $1.80. Under the proposed ordinance the lowest
rate is $1.60, or $1.20 in case the city pays. It is also provided that the city shall pay $15 per
WATER RATES. 941
month for hydrants, $500 per month for the Golden Gate Park, and $7,000 for the public
buildings.
It is estimated that the city will thus pay about one fourth of the revenue of the company.
It is provided, further, that the amount thus paid by the city shall be applied on the bills of all
other consumers for the succeeding month in such manner as shall reduce such bills twenty-five
per cent.
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
COMMITTEE ON WATER AND WATER SUPPLIES.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco :
GENTLEMEN— The undersigned, Chairman of the Committee on Water and Water Supplies,
concurs in the majority report, and begs leave to present for the consideration of the board
certain individual views which he holds upon the question : It is evident from the evidence
which has been presented that the revenue of the Spring Valley Water Works ought not to be
reduced, and that the present rates which yield this revenue ought not to be reduced, except by
allowing on them the 25 per cent which the city is to pay the company for water used for muni-
cipal purposes under the proposed ordinance. It is true that the company objects to the ordi-
nance introduced by the undersigned, upon the ground that it fixes a maximum below some of
the rates now collected, and yet does not permit the rates now collected, where they are below
that maximum, to be increased to it. It is claimed that this will reduce the present revenue
considerably.
The undersigned, in reply to this, says that it has been his object to establish the rates now
actually collected, but as the schedule of the old commissioners was in some cases from 10 to 20
per cent above the rates actually collected, and the rates within the limit of the schedule varied
according to circumstances, it was necessary to reduce the maximum, in order to make the rates
as nearly uniform as possible,whilst it will have the effect of reducingsome rates even below the
25 percent paid by the city; yet the undersigned is of the opinion that increase of consumers will
make up the deficiency. The undersigned is further of the opinion that whilst the rates of the
proposed ordinance are at present reasonable, and will be so for some time, yet the increase of
population will before many years so increase the revenue of the Company as to call for a re-
duction of rates. The income of the company has almost doubled within the past ten years.
The great expenditures of the Company have been made, and the foundations laid of a system
of supply sufficient for the wants of a population of over 1,000,000 of inhabitants; therefore,
comparatively small expenditure in the future will be necessary to meet the future wants of
our citjr. Thus, for instance, an expenditure of $1,000,000 additional, in connecting Crystal
Springs Lake with the city, will give a supply sufficient for 300,000 more people.
If, then, the population increases during the next ten years as it has during the past, the
present rates will, if maintained, largely increase the revenue of the Company, and at the end
of ten years be double what it now is. It is obvious that such an income will be unreasonable
and excessive, and in view of the experience of almost every community as to the aggressive na-
ture of corporate wealth, I deem it just to the community to give now my opinion as to the limit
of the revenue of the Company, so that when it is reached the rates may be reduced and kept
within a reliable and definite valuation of the property. The question then is, what is a fair
limit as to interest and value? The majority were of the opinion that the limit should be be-
tween 8 and 10 per cent. I am of the opinion that it should be 9 per cent. Next, as to the
value, five different estimates are presented in the majority report, the lowest ba.-:od on the
market value of the stock, being $11,520,000, the highest based on cost, being $18,686,376, the
conclusion of the committee being that the works were worth more than $12,000,000 and lesa
than $17,399,200.
942 APPENDIX.
As stated in the report, there is no exact standard of value. The only way is to take all the
estimates into consideration, and thus arrive at a conclusion. Taking the five estimates and
adding them tog-ether, and dividing by five, makes the average $14,671,115. I am therefore of
the opinion that $14,500,000 is as low a valuation as should he placed upon this property. To
this sho-ild be hereafter added such sums as the Company may expend in the construction and
extension of its works when future action is necessary. This determines the value and protects
the people by preventing a fictitious increase in value of the works, simply based on an increase
of revenue, which would certainly be the case in the future if a basis of value is not estab-
lished.
I am of the opinion, therefore, that the rates fixed in the proposed ordinance should remain
as they are, until the income of the Company equals an amount sufficient to pay the operating-
expenses of the Company, 9 per cent on a valuation of $14,500,000, and 9 per cent upon such
further sums as the Company shall expend hereafter in the construction and extension of its
works. The amount so expended can be ascertained every year by the Board, and made a
matter of record in the Municipal Reports. My belief is, that by thus placing the works of the
Company upon a fair basis of value, and providing that the increase in population and con-
sumers shall tend toward a reduction of rates, when the income of the Company shall equal a*
certain amount, the increase in the number of consumers will, after the limit has been reached
gradually diminish the rates instead of increasing the revenue of the Company.

MINORITY REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON WATER AND WATER
SUPPLIES.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco :
Tha undersigned, a minority of your Committee on Water and Water Supplies, begs respect-
fully to represent that he reports this as his conclusions as to the rates to be charged
consumers for water supplied during the year ending July 1, 1831, by any individual, corporation,
company or association engaged in supplying water to the inhabitants of this city and county, and
to report in favor of the final passage of the ordor introduced by myself, providing
for establishing rates at twenty per cent less than the present rates collected, which has been
heretofore passed to print by your Honorable Board, as I believe that the proposed rates will
afford the Spring Valley Water Works a fair and just revenue, as well as relieve the rate-payers
and afford them such reduction as was expected from the implied promise exacted from the
members of this Board in the platform which they assenttd to prior to their election. But
beyond this question of duty, it appears that the reduction proposed is one that can De easily
determined by the rate-payers, and commends itself particularly from this fact — because it
insures a uniform collection of rates and prevents any distinction being made. The question
raised, that the order referred to does not fix and establish rates, deserves no consideration, for
it is understood to be a legal axiom that any proposition is certain which can oe made certain,
and the provisions of this order provide to a certainty the amount hereinafter to be paid by
any rate-payers as twenty per cent less than the amount heretofore paid. In the consideration
of this matter we believe that it is all-important that the reduction proposed by this order
should be made, for while the figures and estimates of expenditure on the part of the Spring
Valley Water Company were presented and considered, yet I am not convinced that with
the increased revenue consequent on the growth of this city, that the dividends could possibly
be reduced to a lower figure than seven per cent on its stock, and while, to some extent, this
business must be classed as hazardous, yet it is, as a business, on more secure basis as to income
than any other that can be cited, for it has assured to it all the inhabitants of the city and
county as consumers, with no competition to speak of, except a few artesian wells, and any
WATER BATES. 943
supply from such sources is limited to an extent which places them out of the consideration of
rival competitors; therefore, I do not believe that any special consideration should influence
your Honorable Board to consider the business of supplying water, by reason of its being a.
hazardous business, entitled to a greater rate of interest than could be expected from any other
business subject to competition which requires skill, capital and ability, and which is constantly
subject to and experiences not alone fluctuations of values, but the more incisive energetic in-
fluences of competitive business rivals in obtaining custom and trade. In my opinion, the assured
custom and consumption of water is a guarantee to the Spring Valley Water Company that places
its stock as one of the most safe, secure and reliable investments that could be desired at seven
per cent, or even less, and preferable to any bonds, whether United States, State or county
bearing four or five per cent interest. It must be apparent, however, that the idea, that under
the new Constitution this city and county is required to pay for all the water used for munici-
pal purposes is untenable, for after a very tedious and protracted litigation it was finally
determined by the Supreme Court that the city and county was entitled to water free of charge
for the extinguishment of fires, for sprinkling streets and for flushing sewers, and for the
public parks and squares. This obligation on the part of the Spring Valley Water Company is
•in the nature of a contract, which under a provision of the n iw Constitution remains invio-
late, in full force and effect, while the other provisions of the Constitution, which provide for
the fixing of rates for water supplied to any city and county, etc., or the inhabitants, is and
must be construed for those purposes only for which the city and county is not exempt by
reason of any contract or other obligation; in other words, the right of the city and county to
free water for the purposes named, as decided by the Supreme Court, is, in my
opinion, a vested right which cannot be alienated. The uses for which water
must be paid by the city and county are, when used in our public buildings,
hospitals, jails, etc.; this allowance is in addition to the amounts to be collected from,
the rate-payers, and without positively knowing as to what amount the city and county
would be required to pay under this order, as the amount to be paid would be based on the
quantity used, it is probably correct to say that it will not exceed §8,500 per month — the
amount for which bills have been presented heretofore by the Spring Valley Water Company
for those purposes. To the extent, therefore, of the cost of water actually used for these pur-
poses the city and county should pay, and, in my opinion, this is all that property should be
taxed or compelled to pay; and for the important privilege that the Spring Valley Water Company
enjoys, it is but just to the taxpayers that water used for the extinguishment of fires and for our
public streets and sewers, our parks and squares, should be furnished free; the inhabitants, the
consumers, paying for the water used by them according to the rates established. There are many
important questions bearing upon the value of the Spring Valley Water Works which we refrain
from presenting, as to our minds no convincing or conclusive estimate of their value can be de-
termined from the investigations had during the past few months, i/ut I concur in believing
that it should be made the subject of intelligent, scientific and comprehensive inquiry, so that
a basis of valuation can be. arrived at and determined by this Board, and this can only
be arrived at, in 1113' judgment, by the appointment of competent and experienced persons as
appraisers, who could also bring to the performance of such labor intelligent conception of the
value of the pioperty of said water works, based on the property itself and the uses to which
it is devoted. While it must be acknowledged that fc'an Francisco depends for her main supply
of water simply from catchments and storage of the rainfall, rendering it necessarily expen-
sive, yet it is evident that as the population increases year by year there can be no judicious
exercise of power in the public interests to prevent an increase of the capital stock, unless the
valuation of the present system is determined and certain principles adopted to prevent a fic-
titious increase, and to ascertain and base any increase of their value by the additional amounts
expended.
Without that or some such action be had, and the question determined, it is unnecessary
to state that it is safe to presume that the Spring Valley Water Works will increase their capi-
tal stock whenever increased consumption and revenue will afford an opportunity, so as to
justify an appeal against any reduction of rates as depriving them of a reasonable rate of interest
upon their increased capital stock based on their own valuation of their property. And in fu.
ture this appeal will bear as liberal a construction, owing to the increase of the .value of their
property, as any argument they have already presented.
944
APPENDIX.
In presenting these views in somewhat of a crude shape, the minority of your committee
desire to state that he is impressed with the importance and the value of the Spring Valley
Water Works as the means by which that all-important necessity, water, is supplied for the use
of the inhabitants of this city and county, and the further necessity for the protecting
and ensuring to said company a fair and reasonable revenue, so as to render
its stock a desirable investment, and by these means to encourage the efficient
keeping of its works and its sources of supply for the protection of the health
and requirements of this community as well as to render its business profitable
and desirable. Entertaining these views, and believing that wise and judicious action
on the part of this Board ought to be had in the solution of this matter, and that no power,
however absolute, should be exercised to oppress, or to limit, or to check in any manner the
operations of said company by a reduction of the rates to an unfair or unreasonable return on
the amount invested ; yet, after mature consideration, I reiterate my belief that the order
providing for a reduction of 20 per cent, on the amount now collected would be equitable and
just, alike to the company and the people, whose interests are mutually concerned.

On June 10, 1880, His Honor the Mayor transmitted the following mes-
sage to the Board, reciting the reasons for his approval of the order :
MESSAGE OF THE MAYOR.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 1880.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco :
GENTLEMEN — I am aware that there will be a feeling of sm-prise on the part of some, and
disappointment on the part of others, that I do not veto the Water Ordinance. For the benefit
of such I would say that my veto could be of no effect.
The ordinance is already passed by a sufficient number to override it, and interposition on my
part would probably not change the result. I am ready to frankly admit, so far as I am con-
cerned, that I shall avoid unnecessary or fruitless antagonism in the future with the Board of
Supervisors. No anxiety on my part to make a " record" can induce me to keep the city in a,
perpetual agitation on this or any other question. A veto, then, being out of the question
only two courses are left me. One is to allow the ordinance to become a law without my signa-
ture— the other is to append my signature and give my reasons for so doing. This appearing
to me to be the more honorable and manly way, I herewith return the ordinance signed, and
ask your attention to some of the considerations moving me thereto.
I have carefully examined the accompanying ordinance fixing water rates, and have also read
the testimony which has been presented to the Committee on Water, as well as the majority
and minority reports of that committee. The theory upon which the ordinance appears to be
"based is best shown by the conclusions expressed in the majority report, in the following
language :
First — That the principle which should govern the regulation of rates is, that the Spring
Valley Water Works is entitled, in addition to operating expenses, to a fair rate of interest upon
the value of its works.
Second — That a fair rate of interest is between 8 and 10 per cent.
Third— That the income at present derived from existing rates, after deducting operating
expenses, does not equal even 8 per cent, upon the value of the works.
Fourth— That the old system of collecting rates, which placed the whole burden upon the
rate-payers, is unjust and inequitable, and is the real cause of the great dissatisfaction with the
rates.
WATER BATES. 947
Fifth— That this system has been abolished by the new Constitution, and that, under the
new Constitution, the city is compelled to pajr for water for all municipal purposes.
Sixth — That the rates of the city should be fixed and established so as to yield about one-
fourth of the revenue of the company, and that the payments made by the city should not
increase the revenue of the company, but should be allowed upon existing rates to consumers,
so as to reduce the same 25 per cent.
With these conclusions I concur in the main, except as to the 6th. I think that the city
should bear at least one-half of the annual cost of supplying water to San Francisco and its
inhabitants, and that the rates of rate-payers should be correspondingly reduced. The rate-
payers u.se water only for domestic purposes. The city uses and requires water not only for its
public buildings, but also for protection against fire, flushing sewers, watering streets, and
irrigating parks. It receives more than one-half the benefit, and should pay at least one-half the
cost. The intention of the new Constitution was to do away with the discrimination in favor of
property which existed under the old system, for it provides that the Board of Supervisors
shall fix the rates of compensation to be paid by the city, as well as its inhabitants. This was
the general construction when the new Constitution was under discussion. Its justice has
since been recognized by the community at large, and has been expressed in political clubs,
and conventions, ani in party platforms. For these reasons I have been disposed to withhold
my signature from the proposed ordinance, in the hope that your honorable body might
reconsider the matter and relieve rate-payers still further by compelling the city at large to assume
its just proportion of the burden. But there would hard!}' be time to consummate the change before
the first of July, and I judge, as I have said, by the majority by which the ordinance passed, that
the views of those who voted for it would not yieid to my suggestions. I have examined the
ordinance carefully, with a view to the objections which have been urged against it, that it
increases existing rates, and, while it ostensibly provides for a reduction of 25 per cent., con-
tingent upon the city's payment, the real reduction will be only 15 per cent.
A comparison with the schedule fixed by the commissioners in 1878, and now in force, shows
that the rates of the proposed ordinance are in most cases 20 per cent, below those of the sche-
dule of 1878, and in no case equal to them. Section 14 prevents the increase of existing rates.
By existing rates, I understand the rates of the schedule with the 10 per cent. off. It appears,
'then, notwithstanding the schedule of 1878 was above the rates actually collected, that the pro-
posed ordinance reduces some rates, increases none, and provides for a reduction of 25 per cent,
contingent upon the city's payment, and that this reduction of 25 per cent, is upon existing
rates after the existing deduction of 10 per cent, has been made . I do not think that any other con-
struction can be made, and the company is bound by its assurance to your honorable body in
its address, that it intended to apply every dollar that it received from the city to a reduction
of rates. It is, in my opinion, impossible for the company to escape this construction, either
in law or honor, and I do not think it will be ever attempted. It appears then that the objec-
tions urged are untenable, and with the above statement of my opinion, that the city should
pay one-half, instead of one-fourth, as in the proposed ordinance, I return the bill with my sig-
nature.
In conclusion, permit me to express some views which may lead to a solution of the water
question. This subject has been agitated for the past five years, and has resulted in injury to
the city as well as to the company. It is time that it was ended. It is apparent that the busi-
ness of supplying- water is hazardous in its nature; that it is subject to competition, contingen-
cies and risks which entitle it to a liberal rate of interest. It is also apparent that the Spring
Valley Works are, as the investigations of the past few years have demonstrated, and as
Col. H. Mendell terms them, the natural system of supply for San Francisco, that although
other schemes are practicable, yet that it would cost, as Col. Mendell shows, as much or more
to supply from any other source, what Spring Valley now supplies. That Spring Valley has
sources of supply sufficient for 1,300,000 people, and that its supply can be increased with less
expenditure than by other schemes. These are great natural and acquired advantages which
give Spring Valley great value. Of what avail, then, is it to assert that they cost a trivial sum,
or that they are worth only an inconsiderable amount, in the face of these facts ? What folly
to quarrel over the difference between 811,000,000, which the city offered to give, and $13,250,000
which the company offered to take, when the fact is indisputable that a duplicate system can
948 APPENDIX.
not be inaugurated without a probable greater expenditure than either amount ? The value of
these works is a fact, and that the community can not deprive the company of that value, either
by assertion or regulation, for the Constitution provides that property shall not be taken for
public use without just compensation, and the United States Supreme Court has determined
that the regulation of private property by the public must be reasonable, due regard being had
to value.
Although the committee has determined that existing rates do not yield the company, in
addition to operating expenses, 9 per cent., or even 8 per cent., upon the value of the works,
yet it is apparent that within a short time the increase of population will bring the revenue up
to that limit. We will assume that the company continues to own the works, and that its
revenue will be sufficient to pay its operating expenses ana 9 per cent, upon the value of the
works. Now, if the city, availing itself of its great credit, should buy the works and sell its
bonds therefor, bearing interest at 6 per cent., they would be taken at a rate above par. The
difference, then, would be this— the company would be entitled to raise a revenue sufficient to
pay operating expenses and 9 per cent, upon the value of the works; the city, if it owned
them, would have to raise a revenue sufficient to pay operating expenses and 6 per cent, upon
the yalue of the works. Thus the community would save 3 per cent, annually upon the value
of the works, which, if the value is $12,000,000, would be $360,000 annually, or, if the value is
$14,500,000, as the Chairman of the Committee values them (by taking the average of the differ-
ent estimates), would be $485,000 annually. This amount could go into a sinking fund, which
would be annually applied to the redemption of outstanding bonds, and thus, at the end of a
period of years, the city would own the works without raising any more revenue annually than
would be raised by the Water Company if it continued to own them. Indeed, the burden of
the community would gradually be reduced, for, as the bonds would be redeemed, the city
would require less revenue from the works to pay its interest, and thus, when the bonds were
fully paid, it would only be necessary to raise a revenue sufficient to pay operating expenses
By this mode the city would acquire the works, and at the same time two factors would be ,at
work to diminish the water rates, viz., increase of population and gradual diminution of the
gross amount necessary to pay operating expenses and interest on the bonds. I believe the
people are sick and tired of a strife which has been kept up mainly by interested parties, and
in which the people have been the principal sufferers. There is a straightforward and manly
course to be pursued in this matter, which must commend itself to every citizen whose interests
do not unduly prejudice his judgment. It cannot, certainly, be a difficult matter to fix the
value of the Spring Valley Water Works. This could be done by a commission, to be chosen,
one by the city, one by the Compan}', and a third by the two thus chosen. Or, the city and
Company could agree on some unexceptionable expert, such as Hon. James B. Eads, for exam-
ple. The decision, in either case, to be final and binding on all parties.
Then there is one of two honorable things for the c;ty to do:
The first is to buy the works. This proposition I have already elaborated. The second is to
agree upon the rate of interest the Company should receive on its property. This, as I have
shown, will depend on the certr.inty and security of payment. No doubt the company would
would consider 6 per cent. , under some circumstances, a better rate of interest than 10 per
cent, under the present. But when the rate is fixed, then let a tax be levied on property, as it
is everywhere else, for the payment of at least one-half the amount, and thus reduce the price
of water to poor consumers at least one-half. It is astonishing and monstrous that immense
houses, containing millions of dollars of property, on which thousands of dollars are annually
saved on insurance by the Water Company, should pay no more annually towards its expenses
than a poor man must pay for water necessary for his family use. It is a wrong and an outrage
that vacant corner lots, which are made valuable because adjacent property is protected from
risks of fire by the Water Company, should pay nothing for such protection, while the men
who have improved their lots, and added to the property of the city, should also be made to
pay for those who refuse to make any improvements, while, at the same time, they are relieved
from any tax for so great a public use. There is only one sensible thing for the masses of the
people to demand, and that is, that property should pay its proper share for water, in which
case— and in which case only— the people can secure re'.ief. It is our only practicable method,
and I commend it to the attention of the people at large as a wiser and better method than a

useless and endless controversy with a company which ought to be, and if we treat it fairly, I
believe, will be operated in the interest of the city, and for the benefit of the citizens.

AUDITOR'S OFFICE,
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13, 18SO. \
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors :
GENTLEMEN* — I herewith return to you, without my approval, the following demands on the
treasury in favor of the Spring Valley Water Co.:
For 13 hundred hydrants for fire purposes and for flushing sewers, at $13 c.aeh $19,000
For water for all the public buildings 7,000
For Golden Gate Park 500

I have received an opinion from my attorney that the above demands are illegal, and cannot
be audited by me.
As to the policy of paying the Spring Valley Water Company for water which the Supreme
Court has decided should be furnished free, I have nothing to do. My duty is to follow the law
as interpreted by the Supreme Court.
Your obedient servant,
JOHN P. DUNN, Auditor.
On September 25th, 1880, the Spring Valley Water Works filed in the office of the Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors appeals from the action of the Auditor, in refusing to audit their three
demands heretofore recited; and on October the 4th, 1880, the following resolution was adopted
by the Board, viz. :

from the decision and action of the Auditor in refusing to audit their demands for water fur-
nished for municipal purposes during the month of June, 1880, amounting in the aggregate to
the sum of §27,000.
The said demands being for the amounts specified, and for the purposes recited, as shown by
Order No. 1573, and by Authorizations Nos. 2867, 2868 and 2869 of this Board.
And the Clerk is hereby directed to advertise this resolution as required by law.

JNO. A. RUSSELL, Clerk.
In responce to the foregoing resolution, the Hon. the District Attorney, on November 22d,
1880, filed the following opinion :
OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, \
CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, >-
November 22, 1880. )
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN— The following resolution was adopted by your honorable body, and a copy
thereof transmitted to my office,viz.: "Resolution No. 14,890 (New Series)— Resolved, That the
Hon. the District Attorney be and he is hereby respectfully requested to transmit to this Board his
opinion in writing on the appeals of the Spring Valley Water Works, from the decision and action of
the Auditor in refusing to audit their demands for water furnished for municipal purposes dur-
ing the month of July, 1880, amounting, in the aggregate, to the sum of $27,000." No. 1573 of
your Ordinances, adopted June 1, 1880, establishes water rates for the year ending June 30,
1881, and among other things provides in section 11, that the Water Company shall receive
from the public treasury "fifteen dollars per month for each and every hydrant for fire purposes
and for flushing sewers; $500 per month for water furnished to the Golden Gate Park, and $7,000
per month for water furnished to all the public buildings." The ordinance further provides,
that private rates shall be diminished by such public payments (when fully made each month)
to an extent not exceeding 25 per cent. Under this ordinance the Water Company presented
for the month of July, 1830, the following demands upon the treasury for water service, viz.:
1,300 hydrants for fire purposes and flushing sewers, at fifteen dollars each, $19,500; public
buildings, $7,000; Golden Gate Park, $500. Total, $27,000.
The demands were authorized by your body and laid before the Auditor, who, being advised
that the company was under an obligation to render the service free of charge, declined to audit
them. The company has appealed from the decision of the Auditor, as to the ruling on each
demand, and the appeals present the question of whether or not, as the law now stands, this
service, or any part of it, is free. The company, known as the Spring Valley Water Works, was
incorporated June 19, 1858, subject to the Act of April 22d, 1858, section 4 of which provided
among other things, that the corporations formed, or claiming any privilege under that Act,
should furnish water for family uses at reasonable rates, and, to the extent of their means,
water in case of fire, or other great necessity, free of charge. The rates for chargeable water
to be determined by a commission in which the municipality and the Water Corporation should
enjoy equal representation. In the case of the City and County of San Francisco vs. the Spring
Valley Water Works, decided in July, 1870, and reported in 39 Cal . , p . 473, the city claimed
the right to tap the company's pipes and take as much water, free of charge, as might be
necessary for the extinguishment of fires and for all other municipal purposes. The company
952 APPENDIX.
denied the city's right to free water except for the extinguishment of fires, and notified the city
of its intention to cut off all the supply for other purposes. Thereupon the city sought to
restrain the company by injunction. The agreed purpose of the suit was to procure a judicial
determination as to. the company's right to charge for water furnished for other purposes than
the extinguishment of fires. The District Court refused the injunction and sustained a
demurrer to the complaint. The Supreme Court declared in terms that the question was to be
determined by the Ensign Act, and that, according to it, the company was obliged to furnish
free water for the extinguishment of fires only; yet, because of a matter of estoppel involved in
the proceedings, the judgment of the District Court was reversed and the cause remanded, with
directions to overrule the demurrer.
Thus, while in this case the Court maintained the right under the Ensign Act to charge for
all water except that used to extinguish fires, it aLo held that the judgment mentioned in the
complaint might constitute an estoppel. The decision, it would seem, is to be regarded as a
judicial declaration that the Ensign Act governed the matter, and thus, beyond the extinguish-
ment of fires, there was no free water. The case was returned to the District Court, when in
due course it was heard and a judgment entered for the defendant. Thereupon a second appeal
was prosecuted by the city. The appeal was heard and determined in April, 1874, and a motion
to rehear disposed of in July, 1874. Upon the rehearing the Court reached the conclusion that
the Ensign Act was unconstitutional, and that the subject was controlled by the general law
instead of by this special Act. The Court said : "Tested by the general law under which the
defendant was organized, it is under no obligation to furnish water to the city and county free of
charge except for the extinguishment of fires during the pendency thereof." Vide San Fran-
cisco vs. Spring Valley Water Works. (48 Cal., 514 and 515.) In the case of the Spring Valley
Water Works vs. The City and County of San Francisco, decided in April, 1877, and reported in
52 Cal. , 111, the Water Company, by an original application to the Supreme Court, sought a
writ of prohibition for the purpose of preventing the Board of Supervisors from passing an
ordinance authorizing the Mayor to tap the pipes and take water therefrom for municipal pur-
poses, other than the extinguishment of fires. The writ was refused, the Court holding that it
was not a proper case for such a remedy.
Notwithstanding the case was effectually disposed of when the Court decided that it could
not interfere by prohibition to travnmel the legislative functions of the Supervisors, one of the
Judges proceeded to define the expression "other great necessity," and after saying that the
company could not charge the city for water to irrigate the parks, sprinkle the streets, flush the
eewers, etc., he uses this language : " The conclusion is that the Spring Valley Water Company
may charge the ordinary rates (when they shall have been fixed in the manner required by the
general law) for the water supplied for drinking and culinary purposes, for purposes of lavation
and for like domestic uses to the inhabitants or occupants of the various institutions, penal or
charitable, established by or under the control of the city and county government, to the public
schools and the public offices; and that it is the duty of the corporation to furnish water free (to
the extent of its means) for the extinguishment of fires, and to the Fire Department, and for all
other purposes for which it may be demanded by the authorities of the city and county, in the
discharge of their direct duty as governmental agents, being such uses as are distinguishable
from family uses, as hereinafter defined." One other of the judges expressed similar conclusions,
two filed no individual opinions at all, and one said : "I am not prepared, in this case, to
express an opinion upon the construction to be given to the words ' and shall furnish water to
such city and county, or city or town, in case of fire or other great necessity, free of charge.'
The determination that the writ would not lie is a final- disposition of the action, and the
announcement of conclusions upon other questions discussed by counsel would amount to mere
dicta. Nor am I satisfied that, as between the plaintiff and the city, the construction of the
words above cited was not conclusively settled by the judgment in San Francisco vs. Spring Val-
ley, 48 Cal., 493. On March 1, 1876, and April 3, 1876, the Legislature passed Acts providing
for the fixing of water rates in San Francisco. One Act provides that there shall be no charge
4made for water required for municipal purposes in cases of great necessity,' and the other that
the corporations, etc., shall 'furnish water to the extent of their means to said city and county,
in case of fire or other great necessity, free of charge.' These Acts were held to be unconstitu-
WATER BATES. 953
tional in the case of the City and County of San Francisco vs. The Spring Valley Water Works,
which originated in the Twelfth District Court. "
This was substantially the complex and unsatisfactory condition of things when the Consti-
tutional Convention commenced its labors, and the demand was made for some system which
would bring order out of confusion, and secure a more equal distribution of the burdens inci-
dent to water service. Under the former system, while it might have been freely admitted
that the Company was to make no charge against the city for water to extinguish fires, etc.,,
yet it is necessarily true that, in making out the schedule of rates, this very service, and the
increased means used and involved in its performance, became elements in the calculation „
and correspondingly swelled the private burdens. In determining what would be reasonable
rates, the Commissioners would, from natural impulse or a sense of justice, consider the entire
burden borne by one side as well as the entire benefit enjoyed by the other. In other words,,
the corporation would be full}' compensated in its past and current expenditures, and thus be
rewarded for all service which its pipes did or could render. When the rates must aggregate a*
given per cent, of the cost before they can be called reasonable, it follows that there can
be no such thing as free water except in name, for, while it may be free as to some, it is for
that reason more costly to others. With these and other kindred considerations in being, the
Convention framed and the people adopted a Constitution which in terms applied to this
very class of cases, and must be regarded as serious trifling with rights and powers, if not in-
tended to operate as a rule of action in this particular case.
Instead of the Company participating in the adjustment of the rates, that power by the
sovereign will has been lodged in the Supervisors— the representatives of the public— who are
required, under the threat of penalties, to fix at a certain tims each year "the rates or compen-
sation to be collected by any person, company or corporation in this State for the use of water
supplied to any city and county, or city or town, or the inhabitants thereof." Language could
not be plainer; it could scarcely be stronger. Nothing is said about gratuitous service; nothing;
about consulting the servant as to the measure of compensation. It seemed to be the sovereign
will to strike down both at once and get rid of the rate-payers' complaint, on the one hand>
and the parade of free service, on the other. If this be true, and it should result in an increase
of burdens and a corresponding enlargement of the Company's revenue, it would not be for the
lack of power in your honorable body to prevent it. As to the power of the State to change
the relations existing between the Company and the public to the extent of abolishing free
service, and fixing the rates of compensation without consulting the Company, I entertain no
doubt. And because it seems impossible to escape the clear and comprehensive language used
in the Constitution, I am led to the conclusion that the State intended to, and has, exercised
the power, and consequently that there is merit in these appeals.
Respectfully submitted,
D. L. SMOOT,
District Attorney.

ARMY STREET SEWER.-
The necessity for providing sewerage for that portion of the city contiguous to Precita Creek,
and for collecting and conveying by a direct channel the storm waters from a large area situated
south of Twenty-fourth street and west of San Jose avenue to the waters of the bay, had long
engaged the attention of property owners in that section, and that of Supervisor Gibbs, the
representative of that district in the Board of Supervisors, and led to the passage of the fol-
lowing Act of the Legislature, providing for the opening of a street, and the construction of a
sewer therein :
AN ACT TO CONFER ADDITIONAL POWERS ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE CITY AND
COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO TO PROVIDE FOR THE OPENING OF ARMY STREET, AND THE
CONDEMNATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY THEREFOR.
[Approved March 16, 1878.]
SECTION 1. The Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco are hereby
authorized and empowered—
First— To receive and accept from the owners or claimants of the lots and lauds lying'contiguous
to "Precita creek," from the Old San Jose Road to the San Bruno road of said city, a deed or deeds
of a tract of land, not less than sixty-four feet in width, and without abrupt curves or short angles,
to be located on a line to be located by and to be satisfactory to said Board of Supervisors, for the
construction of a sewer therein, and for the purposes of a public street.
Second— The said Board of Supervisors are hereby authorized and empowered to acquire (by pur-
chase, for such consideration as to said Board may seem reasonable,) any of the lots or lands herein-
before described, for the purposes of said sewer and street, as cannot be ^acquired by voluntary
gift or donation, and to order payment of such considerations out of the General Fund of the
treasury of said city and county,
Third -For the purpose of acquiring title to all such portions of said lots and lands as may not be
acquired under the provisions of the first arid second subdivisions of this section, the said Board of
Supervisors are hereby authorized and required to cause the same to be condemned and appropriated
to public uses for the purposes of said sewer and streat ; the Mayor, Assessor, and Surveyor of said
city and county are hereby appointed and constitute Commissioners, with powerj tojascertain and
determine the value of the lands and the sums to be paid therefor to the owners thereof. In case of
a vacancy in said Commission, by reason of any member thereof being disqualified from acting, or
for other cause, the County Judge of said city and county shall fill such vacancy by appointment of
some competent and disinterested person. The moneys to be paid for any lands under the provisions
of this Act must be paid out of the General Fund of the Treasury of said city and county. The said
proceedings to acquire title to lands, except as herein otherwise provided, must conform to the pro-
visions of the "Act approved April first, eighteen hundred and seventy-two," entitled an Act to
open and establish a public street in the City and County of San Francisco, to be called Montgomery
avenue, and take private lands therefor, and to the provisions of any other Act passed at the present
session of the Legislature, defining the powers of said Board of Supervisors, which are hereby made
applicable to this Act, so far as the same are not inconsistent therewith.
Fourth— The said Board of Supervisors are hereby authorized and required, under such rules and
regulations as they may prescribe, to sell at public auction to the highest and best bidders, all of Ser-
1012 APPENDIX.
pentine avenue, running from the Old San Jose Road to the San Bruuo Road, except such portions
thereof as may be required for the purposes of said sewer and street herein provided for. The lands
so offered for sale shall first be surveyed and subdivided into lots, conforming as near as may be
practicable in form and size, to the lots next contiguous thereto. Streets in conformity to, and con-
necting with, the streets laid down upon the official plan of said city shall be reserved and dedicated
to public use. A deed from the Mayor of said city and county, executed to the purchaser of any
lot, after full payment therefor shall have been made, shall vest the title of such lot in said purchaser.
The proceeds of said sales shall be paid Into the General Fund of the Treasury of said city and
county. The said Commissioners shall receive for their services such compensation as the Board of
Supervisors may allow.
Whenever the said city and county shall have acquired the lands herein mentioned for said sewer
and street, the said Board of Supervisors are authorized to open and improve said street, and con-
struct said sewer of such material and of such capacity as' said Board may determine; and are author-
ized to appropriate, allow and order paid out of the General Fund such sums as may be necessary for
said purposes, also, for all contracts for the necessary surveys.
Section 2. All of Serpentine ave'nue lying between the Old San Jose Road and San Bruno Road is
hereby vacated as a public street or highway. •
Section 3. This Act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.
On April 22, 1878 the following Resolution was adopted by the Board of Supervisors :
RESOLUTION No. 12,212 (NEW SERIES.)
Resolved, That a Special Committee, consisting of the members of the Street Committee, and the
member from the Eleventh Ward, are hereby appointed to take into consideration the provisions of
Acts of the Legislature providing respectively for the opening of Army street and the condemnation
of private property therefor ; also, for the opening of Valencia street, from a point 400 feet north of
Mission street to the northwesterly line of Mission street, and .to suggest the proper action to be
taken by this Board.
The committee thus constituted consisted of Supervisors Foley, Scott, Brickwedel and Gibbs.
On May C, 1878, the Board of Supervisors instructed the City and County Surveyor to prepare
the necessary maps and make the requisite surveys for the carrying- out of the provisions of
the foregoing Act, by the adoption of the following Resolution :
RESOLUTION No. 12,301 (NEW SERIES.)
Resolved, That in accordance with the provisions of an Act of the Legislature, approved March 16,
1878, providing for acquiring, by voluntary gift, donation or purchase, from the owners, a tract of
land lying contiguous to Precita creek, from the Old San Jose Road to the San Bruno Road, for the
construction of a sewer therein, and for the pxirposes of a public street, the City and County Sur- •
veyor is hereby authorized and required to make the proper surveys and prepare a map or maps show-
ing a tract of land to be located under the direction of the Special Committee heretofore appointed,
not less than sixty-four feet in width, and without abrupt curves or short angles. Said map or maps
to show in addition the measurement of each separate lot or parcel of laud included within said
tract, with the names of the owners, so far as the same can be ascertained from the block books in
the Assessor's office; a written description of the tract, and of each separate lot therein embraced to
accompany said map or maps.
In accordance with the foregoing Resolution, maps delineating the tract of land selected for
the extension of Army street were prepared and submitted to the Board of Supervisors, who
accepted and adopted the same by the passage of Resolution No. 12,549 (New Series), which was
duly approved by the Mayor.
On August 26, 1880, the Board of Supervisors, by Resolution 12,720, instructed the City and
County Attorney to prepare a form of deed to be used in conveyances of the land included in
the proposed extension of Army street, which form of deed, so prepared, was subsequently, by
Resolution 12,798, approved.
Several resolutions, at various times from Sept-.mber 10, 1878, to November 11, 1878, were
adopted by the Board of Supervisors, to wit, Resolutions 12,783, 12,920 and 12,988, all of the
same purport, instructing the Commissioners provided for by the Act of the Legislature, con-
sisting of the Mayor, A. J. Bryant, the Assessor, Alexander Badlam, and the Surveyor, Win. P.
AKMY STREET SEWEK. 1013
Humphreys, to proceed with their duties and condemn and appraise such lands for the opening
of the said Army street. And on March 17, 1879, Order No. 1492 was passed by the Board,
offering-, on the part of the city, compensation for lands necessary to bs acquired for that pur-
pose.
In a few cases the offers made in Order 1492 were accepted by property owners, but as a large
proportion seemed disinclined to come in and accept the terms proposed, the Commissioners
were still further directed by resolutions of the Board to complete their work and proceed to
condemnation, said resolutions being numbered 13,580 and 13,723, and, in compliance with the
last named resolution, the Commission proceeded with their work.
The City and County Attorney was also requested by Resolution No. 13,604 (New Series) to
procure abstracts of title to the property involved, in order to determine whether or not the
lands described in the several deeds have been conveyed by the owners to the city and county.
On July 28, 1879, an order numbered 1,511, for the condemnation of property not otherwise
acquired for the opening of Army street, was passed, and on September 29, 1879, the Commis-
sioners published the following notice:
' ' The undersigned, the Mayor, Assessor and Surveyor of the City and County of Sau Francisco,
appointed and constituted Commissioners by an Act of the Legislature of the State of California,
entitled "An Act to confer additional powers on the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of
San Francisco, to provide for the opening of Army street, and the condemnation of private property
therefor," approved March 16th, 1878, do hereby give notice, in conformity to the provisions of said
Act and the other Acts of the said Legislature referred to therein, that the Report of the said
Commissioners required by the provisions of the Acts aforesaid is completed, and will be open for the
inspection of all parties interested, at the Mayor's office, New City Hall (the same being the office of
the said Commissioners), daily, for thirty days, commencing on Wednesday, October 1st, 1879,
between the hours of nine o'clock A. M. and four o'clock P. M. of each day."
"Dated San Francisco, September 29th, 1879."
The report of the Commissioners was filed in the County Court October 31, 1879, and the
order of the Court confirming said report was filed on the same date.
The sum of $14,887 from the General Fund was set aside by Order No. 1529 and by authoriza-
tions numbered from 2633 to 2712, inclusive, for the payment of lands condemned under pro.
visions of Order No. 1511, and proposals for the construction of the sewer in Army street were
called for, November 11, 1879, in aacordanee with Resolution No. 14,015 (New Series), and the
following specifications:

And the entire work to be done in accordance with the following
SPECIFICATIONS.
EARTHWORK.
Make all necessary excavations for cess-pools and sewer, and fill in solidly with earth or sand to the
designated grade and line.
The bottom of the trench for sewer to be of the form and dimensions of the sewer to be imbedded
in it, and no unnecessary disturbance of the natural soil will be permitted.
When deemed necessary by the engineer, that in any section of the work the street shall be graded
before excavated, then the filling shall be done for the entire width of the street, and in height to the
line of fill as indicated on the profile. After not less than ten days have elapsed from the completion
of said filling, then the excavation and subsequent filling shall be prosecuted as above.
The refilling in all cases to be sand or earth of wholesome quality. In refilling the trench care
must be taken to place the material equally upon each side and over the arch, and then tamp and
solidly ram down. The filling to.be put on in layers of not over twelve inches each, and each layer
is to be either thoroughly wet or rammed, as the nature of the soil may render best, so as to prevent
effectually all injury from settling to the sewer and the necessity of unusual repairs to the street.
Upon the completion of each section of the sewer the filling must be to the full width of the street,
and in height to the line of fill, as indicated on the profile.
BRICKWORK.
None but the best quality of bricks, burnt hard entirely through, and made by white labor, shall
be used, the bricks to be thoroughly wet with pure fresh water immediately before being laid. Every
brick is required to have full cement joints under bottom, sides, and ends, which for each brick must .
be formed at one operation, and in no case is it to be made by working in cement after the brick is
laid.
The joints between the courses shall not exceed half an inch in thickness, and between the rings or
shells they shall not be less than half an inch.
The keys of the arch to be well and thoroughly grouted, and the entire arch to be plastered over
with a good coat of cement mortar, which shall extend down to the springing line of the same.
Cess-pools to be paved with two (2) courses of brick, the bottom course to be laid solid, and the
upper course to be grouted on with cement, and the whole inner surface to be plastered with a good
coat of cement mortar not less than three-eighths of an inch in thickness.
The culverts extending from the cess-pdols to the main sewer to be of cement pipe (where the
engineer may determine), as per sample in the Clerk's office, not less than twelve inches in the clear
inside, nor less than two inches in thickness.
AKMY STREET SEWER. 1015
Man-holes of the form and dimensions shown on plan, to be constructed of the same class of
masonry as the sewer so far as brick work is to be used. The covers and coping shall be of iron*
similar in construction to those in use in other portions of the city, except that the covers shall be
perforated.
"All side junctions, whether for lateral sewers or other connections, and whether of brick or pipe,
are to be built into the sewer in as careful and thorough a manner as the rest of the work is done,
and shall be worked in where shown on plan.
The inside of the sewer to be plastered with a good coat of cement mortar mixed in the proportion
of one to one of cement and sand, and to extend from the spring line of the arch over the entire
lower portion of the sewer. The inside of the man-holes to be similarly plastered. The whole
plastering to be carefully floated, and to be nob less than five-eighths of an inch in thickness.
The bricks for the inner half ring below the springing line to be carefully selected glazed bricks,
and in no case will soft bricks be allowed on the work.
For a distance of five feet from the end of Section No. 1, the sewer will splay to Ineet and connect
with Section No. 2, and the contractor for Section No. 1 will be required to furnish and work to a
tapered center and firmly bond and complete the connection; and the contractor for each succeeding
section shall in like manner connect and bond, except where the circular sewer connects with the
non-circular, when the circular shall be worked up full to the non-circular and splay worked as shown
on plan.
The grade line of the inside bottom must be continuous and unbroken for its entire length.
«
CEMENT MORTAR
The cement mortar (except where used for plastering inside) to be composed of the best quality of
California cement, as per sample on deposit with the plans and specifications for inspection, and all
cement to be delivered on the ground seven days prior to its being used, subject to the inspection and
approval of the engineer. The cement to be mixed in the proportion of one barrel of clean sharp
sand, free from loam, to one barrel of cement. It is to be carefully and thoroughly mixed, and a
sufficient quantity of water is to be afterwards added to make it of good consistency. The mortar
is to be mixed in no greater quantity than is required for the work in hand, and any excess that may
not have been used on the day of mixing is not to be retempered and used in any way.
All mortar must be mixed in a proper box made for the purpose, and in no case upon the ground.
Both cement and sand are to be in all cases measured in the proportions required.
GENERAL CONDITIONS.
All the various materials and workmanship required for all work included in these specifications
are to be of the best qnality, and to be furnished by the contractor.
The contractor shall, at his own expense, pump out and otherwise remove any water which may
exist in the trenches, and shall form all dams or other works necessary for keeping the excavation
clear of water during the progress of the work, and in no case will water be allowed to come in con-
tact with fresh laid cement.
The sides of the excavation shall be supported by suitable shoring whenever necessary; and the
contractor will be held responsible for all damage that may happen to neighboring property during
the prosecution of the work.
The sewer in each section where the natural water course lays across the line of the street shall be
completed only up to and not across said water way until such time as the progress of the work shall,
in the opinion of the Engineer, render it proper for the final completion and connection of such sec-
tions.
If at any time during the progress of the work the Engineer and Special Committee should deem
it necessary that in any section of the sewer additional measures should be taken to make the founda-
tion sufficiently secure, then the contractor shall do the work in accordance with the instructions and
plans furnished by the Engineer, who will make an estimate of the cost of said work, which estimate
shall be final and conclusive, and fix the amount to be paid by the city.
In case any question may arise as to the interpretation of any part of these specifications, the mat-
ter shall be determined by the decision of the Engineer, whose decision thereon shall be final and
conclusive.
Wherever the word Engineer is mentioned in these specifications it refers to the Engineer con-
tracted with or appointed by the Board of Supervisors to prepare maps, plans, and specifications for
Army Street Sewer, to take charge of the construction thereof, and the grading of Army street, and
1016 APPENDIX.
all surveys, lines, and grades, explanations or directions necessary to the carrying out and complet-
ing satisfactorily the different descriptions of work contemplated and provided for in these specifica-
tions will be given by him.
For each and every day that the sewer or any section thereof remains unfinished after the time
fixed in the contract for its completion, the contractor will be held in the sum of Twenty-five Dollars,
United States Gold Coin., as liquidated damages for each and every day until the final completion
thereof, after said time has expired; and said sum or sums so due as liquidated damages shall be
deducted from the contract price on final payment due on said contract.
It is the object of these specifications to include all that is essential to the completion and success-
ful operation of the sewer in regard to materials, workmanship, and appurtenances, and should any-
thing be omitted therein which may be fairly construed as an accidental omission, the same shall be
executed at the expense of the contractor.
Maps of Army street, Section Plans, and Profiles are hereby made part and parcel of these specifi-
cations.
Estimates of the work performed will be made by the Engineer every thirty days, and upon these
estimates and certificate of the Engineer payments will be made to the amount of seventy-five per
cent, of the contract price. Upon the completion and acceptance of the whole work the balance of
the contract price will be paid.
All payments for work performed upon the sewer will be made in gold coin of the United States,
and in a manner provided in "An Act to confer additional powers on the Board of Supervisors of
the City and County of San Francisco to provide for the opening of Army street and the condemna-
tion of property therefor," approved March 16, 1878.

ARMY STKEET SEWER EXTENSION.
In connection with the foregoing particulars of the opening of Army street extension
from old San Jose road to San Bruno road, and the construction of a sewer therein, it became
apparent to property owners in that section of the city that, to secure the full and proper oper-
ation of the sewer so constructed, it would be necessary to extend the same both westerly and
easterly from the terminal points thereof— westerly to catch the storm waters from the hilly

to secure a proper point of discharge into the bay of the waters and sewage so collected. Ac-
cordingly, an act was passed by the Legislature of 1879-80, as follows: "An Act to confer power
upon Supervisors of cities and counties containing more than one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants to extend and complete all main and intercepting sewers heretofore partially con-
structed," approved April 15, 1880.

SOTS, to promote the sanitary condition of such city and county; to complete all main intercepting
sewers heretofore constructed, or partially constructed, at the expense of such city and county, and
to extend the same to a suitable and proper outlet, deemed necessary for sanitary purposes in the
judgment of said Supervisors, the expense thereof to be chargeable to and to be paid out of the
General Fund of the Treasury of said city and county. The said work to be performed under the
charge and supervision of an experienced engineer, to be appointed by said board or boards. The
expense of said work is not to exceed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act just quoted, the following resolution was adopt-
ed in Board of Supervisors, May 3, 1880:
RESOLUTION NO. 14,628 (NEW SERIES).
Resolved, That Wm. P. Humphreys be and he is hereby empowered to run levels and prepare esti-
mates for the cost of the construction and continuation of the sewer in Army street, from Guerrero
street to an outlet in the bay; also an estimate of the cost of constructing a temporary wooden
sewer to connect with the Army street sewer, and convey the sewage therefrom to the marsh lands,
at an expense of three hundred dollars.
And on May 10th, Wm. P. Humphreys was appointed Superintendent and Engineer of inter-
cepting sewers in both Army and Channel streets, by Resolution No. 14,641 (New Series), and
a contract entered into pursuant to the above resolution was ratified May 17, 1880, by Reso-
lution No. 14,662 (New Series).
On May 24, 1880, said Engineer was directed by Resolution 14,668 to prepare plans and speci-
fications for the construction of Army street sewer eastwardly and westwardly, and to submit
the same to the Board, and on June 1, 1880, by Resolution 14,688, the Clerk was instructed to
advertise for proposals to construct said contemplated extension.
Considerable doubt existing in the public mind as to the constitutionality or otherwise of the
Act under which it was proposed to proceed with the construction of the extension of the Army
street sewer, the Board of Supervisors, on May 24, 1880, adopted the following resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 14,673 (Nsw SERIES).
Resolved, That the City and County Attorney be, and he is hereby requested to furnish to this
board, at as early a date as possible, his opinion as to the constitutionality of an act passed by the
last Legislature entitled "An Act to confer power upon Supervisors of cities and counties con-
taining more than one hundred thousand inhabitants, to extend and complete all main intercep-
ting sewers heretofore partially constructed," approved April 15, 1880 (Statutes 1880, page 236).
In answer to which the City and County Attorney, on June 1, 1880, furnished an opinion,
from which the following is an extract:
First— As to the constitutionality. I have carefully examined and compared this Act with the
several provisions of the Constitution, and am of the opinion that the act referred to is constitu-
tional.
Second -As to its meaning and purposes. From a careful inspection of the act itself, I am led to
the opinion that the Legislature had for its sole purpose and object to extend and complete, from
the point where they were left off, all of those main intercepting sewers in this city and county which
have been commenced and partially constructed and discontinued from want of funds to their con-
templated or suitable and proper outlet, to prevent the accumulation of excrements and stagnant
water, and other noxious and infectious matters, and thereby promote the sanitary condition of the
inhabitants of the city and county.
JOHN LUTTRELL MURPHY,
Attorney and Counselor of the City and County of San Francisco.
The opinion of the City and County Attorney, above quoted, having proved favorable as to
the constitutionality of the Act referred to, and the power of the Board to act in the premises
inferentially determined, the Clerk was, on June 7, 1880, by Resolution No. 14,698 (New Series),
instructed to advertise for proposals to construct an extension to the sewer in Army street,
westerly from the easterly line of San Jose avenue to Guerrero street, and easterly from the
westerly line of San Bruno road to an outlet in Marin street.

Proposals were accordingly invited, and received in open Board on June 14, 1880, and on
June 28, 1880, by Resolution of Award No. 14,750, the work was awarded to G. Raisch, at the
following prices, to wit:

It becoming necessary for the extension of the Army street sewer for the city to acquire pos-
session of a strip of land lying to the eastward of the easterly line of San Bruno road, and said
strip of land being owned by Edward Gallagher, the Street Committee received from said Gal-
lagher an agreement to sell the required strip of land to the city for the sum of §1,000, and
reported to the Board, on June 21, 1880, in favor of the purchase, whereupon the Board passed
Authorization No. 2839, authorizing an expenditure of $1,000 for the said purchase, a convey-
ance being received for said land from Edward Gallagher on the 9th day of August, 1880,
which is recorded in liber 982 of deeds, page 308.
The description of the land referred to by metes and bounds acquired in extending Army
street, was by Order No. 1609 declared to be an open public street for the purpose of building
and maintaining a sewer therein, as follows:
Commencing at a point on the easterly line of San Bruno road where the center line of Colusa
street, if produced westerly, would intersect the same; thence running northwesterly along the

LOTTA FOUNTAIN.
The drinking fountain situated at the intersection of Market, Geary and Kearny streets,
known as the "Lotta Fountain," was presented to the City of San Francisco by Miss Lotta
Crabtree, a lady closely connected with the theatrical profession, whose infancy and youth had
been spent in San Francisco, and who, in gratitude for the appreciative kindness of the com-
munity in which she had. been brought up, and amongst whom she had achieved such brilliant
success, deemed this gift a fitting one to commemorate her kindly feelings to the people of her
native city.
The fountain rests upon a granite base eight feet square and three feet thick. The hight is
tw. nty-four feet, and may be described as being built in sections. That resting on the base is
four feet broad by three or four feet high, has a drinking basin on each face, and is ornamented
on each corner with a lion's head .
On each basin is a griffin's head, the water flowing from the mouth.
The section above, which is a little smaller, has a brass medallion on each face. That looking
eastward bears the inscription, "Presented to the Citizens of San Francisco by Lotta." The
others represent, respectively, mining, agriculture and commerce— the three leading industries
of California.
The fountain was completed early in September, 1875, aud was formally handed over to the
city on the 9th of that month and year, Mayor Otis accepting the gift on behalf of the city,
and the presentation being made by Mr. Harry Edwards, acting for Miss L. Crabtree.

MISSION AH_D OCEAN BEJICH ROjlD.
The following proceedings were had in the matter of the purchase by the city of the road
known as the Missi'on and Ocean Beach Macadamized Toll Road :
The Mission and Ocean Beach Macadamized Road Company was organized and incorporated
in accordance with the provisions of an Act of the Legislature entitled "An Act to authorize
Robt. G. Arthur, his associates or assigns, to construct and keep in repair certain roads upon the
San Miguel Rancho and adjoining property, in the City and County of San Francisco, and to
levy and collect tolls thereon." Approved April 17, 1862. Statutes 1862, page 262. And subse-
quently re-incorporated under the general laws of the State of California.
On April 29, 1872, the following order was passed by the Board of Supervisors fixing rates of
toll to be charged by the company :
ORDER No. 1038.
FIXING RATES OF TOLL TO BE CHARGED BY TUB MISSION AND OCEAN BEACH MACADAMIZED ROAD
COMPANY.
WHEREAS, The Mission and Ocean Beach Macadamized Road Company has filed a petition to
have rates of toll fixed on the road known and designated as the " Mission arid Ocean Beach
Macadamized Road," in accordance with the requirements of an Act of the Legislature of the
State of California, entitled "An Act to provide for the construction and maintenance of toll
roads within the State of California," approved April 4,1870; and in compliance with said
petition, it being within the knowledge of this Board that said road referred to herein is com-
pleted and in good order ; now, therefore,
The People of the City and County of Sari Francisco do ordain as follows :
SECTION 1. The rates of toll to be charged by the Mission and Ocean [Beach Macadamized
Road Company, a corporation duly organized in accordance with the requirements of the Act
hereinbefore referred to, on the Mission and Ocean Beach Macadamized Road, shall be and are
hereby fixed and determined as follows :

SECTION 2. This order shall take effect immediately.
On September llth, 1876, the following resolution was adopted in Board of Supervisors :
RESOLUTION No. 9448 (NEW SERIES).
Resolved, That a Special Committee be appointed to investigate the affairs of what is known
as the Mission and Ocean Beach Toll Road, whereby a public highway is obstructed and money
demanded for passing over the same .
Second — That the City and County Attorney be directed immediately to commence and push
legal proceedings against said Road Company and employees, to stop said illegal demands and to
1036 APPENDIX.
eject said persons and punish the same. If they had acquired any privileges by a prior Board of
Supervisors, it was to keep and maintain a good road, but now, in its present execrable condi-
tion, it is a disgrace, and they have lost all privileges formerly granted ; also, said privileges
were abolished by the preceding Board of Supervisors.
In accordance with the above resolution, a very exhaustive investigation was had by the
Special Committee of the Board, which was submitted October 31, 1876, to the City and County
Attorney, Win. C. Burnett, who, on January 23, 1877, addressed a communication to the Board,
reviewing the proceedings had by the investigating committee in the matter of determiningthe
right of the Mission and Ocean Beach Macadamized Road Company to charge and collect tolls on
said road ; and stating that, in accordance with the foregoing resolution, an action had been
commenced, and was then pending in the Twelfth District Court (numbered 20,208), entitled
The People of the State, by Jos. Kami1 ton, Attorney -General, on the relation of A. J. Bryant,
vs. The Mission and Ocean Beach Macadamized Road Company, for the purpose of testing the
question whether the demand for tolls could be stopped, and whether the road itself was a public
road not subject to the conti'ol of the company.
In response to the following resolution :
RESOLUTION NO. 11,127 (New Series).
Resolved, That the Mayor be, and he is, hereby authorized and empowered to ascertain and
report to this Board, at his earliest convenience, whether or not the Mission and Ocean Beach
Macadamized Road Company have the legal right to collect tolls upon said roads, and if so,
what arrangements can be made, or on what terms can this road be obtained by the city and
county, so that the proper steps may be taken by this Board to keep open and maintain the
same as a public highway for the use of the inhabitants of this city and county.
A message was received from His Honor the Mayor by the Board of Supervisors September
24, 1877, as follows:
MAYOR'S OFFICE,
September 24, 1877.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors :
GENTLEMEN — On the 20th day of August last your honorable body adopted Resolution No.
11,127, and I beg leave to submit to your honorable body my report :
"The said road is five and one-half miles in length, commencing at a point on ocean beach
at the intersection of the most southerly line of the pueblo lands with the shore line of the
ocean, and running thence in a northeasterly direction across the Laguna de la Merced and San
Miguel ranches to the line of streets directly west and back of the Mission Dolores.
The quantity of land occupied by the road, measuring all included by the fonces on each side
of it, is 42 51-100 acres. Conveyances were obtained by the corporation from the persons
owning the land, and the fences were made by it.
The original proprietors of the road were incorporated under a special Act of the Legislature,
which was very defective, and afterwards articles of incorporation were filed under the general
law.
The said road has been used the last fifteen years, and tolls have been collected by the corpo-
ration during the entire period. '
It is claimed, and I believe correctly, that the sum of $126,000 has been expended by the
company upon its road in construction, improvements and repairs, and the whole amount of
tolls collected during the existence of the road is but $74,000, leaving a deficiency of $52,000.
Mr. Win. S. Fitch owns all the stock of the corporation.
Mr. Fitch informs me that during the last seven or eight years litigation and the agitation of
the right of the company to collect tolls have virtually deprived it of the profitable use of the
road.
He also states that he is indebted in the sum of $28,730 for work done and moneys borrowed
and expended upon the road, and that if the city and county will pay him that sum he will
convey to it all the right, title and interest of the corporation in and to the said road.
MISSION AND OCEAN BEACH EOAD. 1037
I am opposed to toll roads. Public opinion is against them. There is hardly a day when
citizens do not ask me to get rid of them. We must remember, however, that they were
made at great cost, in good faith, by permission of the city and county, and they have been
useful. They have developed outside lands, and increased the value of taxable property. But
I think the city and county should own all the roads within its boundaries.
This road, if obtained by the city and county, could be kept in repair by the labor of the
inmates of the Alms House and House of Correction, with but small expense to the city.
J inclose the opinion of the City and County Attorney, and the opinions of other lawyers.
It is a question of good judgment whether your honorable body will purchase the right of the
company to this road, and have the pending action dismissed, or wait the result of the litigation,
which, if it result in favor of the company, will give it the right to collect tolls for perhaps
thirty five years longer."
Very respectfully,
A. J. BRYANT, Mayor.
The foregoing message of the Mayor, together with the opinion of the City and County
Attorney, and letters of other attorneys, also a report of the Finance Committee recom-
mending the purchase, are on file in the Clerk's Office, under date of September 24, 1877,
and October 29, 1877.
On November 7, 1877, the following order, 1404, was passed in Board of Supervisors :

and Ocean Beach Macadamized Road, so that the proper steps may be taken by this Board to

A communication from the Secretary of the Board of Freeholders, under date June 30, 1880
was received by the Board of Supervisors, submitting a statement of the expenses incurred by
the Board, amounting to $11,062 99, with copy of resolution adopted by the Board June 28,
requesting the Board of Supervisors to authorize the payment of all claims passed upon and
audited by the Board of Freeholders, upon the certificate of its President that the same have

ciary of the Board of Supervisors, and by them submitted to the City and County Attorney for
his opinion as to whether the claims referred to were legal charges against the city and county,
and what power the Board of Supervisors had to allow the same and order them paid. An extract
from the opinion of the City and County Attorney on this matter was embodied in the report of
the Joint Committee, and reads as follows :
"In relation to the bills of expense incurred by the Board of Fifteen Freeholders, I have to
say that the same are authorized by Section 8, Article 11, of the Constitution of California, and
are payable out of the General Fund, no specific fund having been provided by law for such
purpose."
The Committee conclude their report as follows :
" This being the opinion of the legal adviser — and we must presume the legal aspect in which
the claims must be regarded— it is eminently proper that they should be paid ; especially when it
is taken into consideration that the gentlemen composing the Board gave their valuable time and
services without compensation; and whatever opinions may be entertained of the Charter
proposed, no one can justly question the ability, public spirit and disinterestedness of those
gentlemen ; and it is the duty of your Hon. Board, in the opinion of your Committee, to allow
and order paid the expense incurred."

Recorder, as required bjr law, it became necessary that it should be submitted to the people for
ratification or rejection. Accordingly, the following proclamation was on Aug. 18, 1880, issued
~by the Board of Election Commissioners :
"Public notice is hereby given that a Special Election, in and for the City and County of San
Francisco, State of California, will be held on Wednesday, the 8th day of September, 1880.
And the qualified voters of said City and County are hereby called to meet in their respec-

ACCEPTED STREETS.
Under the Act amendatory of the Street Law passed at the session of the
Legislature in 1861 (Statutes, 1861, page 544), it was enacted that "when
any street or portion of a street has been or shall hereafter be con-
structed to the satisfaction of the Committee on Streets, Wharves, Grades
and Public Buildings, of the Board of Supervisors, and the Superintendent
of Public Streets and Highways, under such regulations as said Board shall
adopt, the same shall be accepted by the Board of Supervisors, and thereafter
shall be kept open and improved by the said city and county, the expense
thereof to be paid out of the Street Department fund; provided that the
Board of Supervisors shall not accept any portion of a street less than the full
width thereof from curb to curb inclusive and one block in length, or one en-
tire crossing."
This provision was re-enacted by the Legislature at the session held in
1862 (Statutes, 1862, page 401), and in 1863 (Statutes, 1863, page 531), ex-
cept that the proviso in relation to the extent of the acceptance was changed,
the proviso passed in 1862 being as follows: "Provided that the Board of
Supervisors shall not accept of any portion of a street less than the full width
thereof and one block in length, or one entire crossing;" while that of 1863
is as follows: "Provided that the Board of Supervisors shall not accept of
any portion of a street less than the entire width of the roadway (including
the curbing, and one block in length or one entire crossing) ."
Under the orders of the Board, the conditions of acceptance required that a
street or portion of a street should be sewered with brick, curbed with stone
and paved or macadamized, and that a street crossing should be sewered with
brick, curbed with stone and paved or macadamized, and have sidewalks at
the angular corners thereof, and suitable crosswalks, manhole and cover, cess-
pool and culverts.
At the session of 1869-70 (Statutes, 1869-70, page 899), this provision of
acceptance was changed so as to admit of the construction of a cement pipe
sewer and of the conditional acceptance of a street wherein no sewer was
constructed if the same was unnecessary, that portion of the Statute provid-
ing that,
"When any street ov portion of a street has been or shall hereafter be con-
structed to the satisfaction of the Committee on Streets, Wharves, Grades
and Public Squares, of the Board of Supervisors and said Superintendent
and shall have a brick sewer or cement pipe constructed therein under such
regulations as said Board shall adopt, the same shall be accepted by the
Board of Supervisors, and thereafter shall be kept open and improved by the
said City and County, the expense thereof, together with all work done in
front of City property, to be paid out of the Street Department fund; Pro-
1052 APPENDIX.
vided, that the Board of Supervisors shall not accept any portion of the street
less than the entire width of the roadway (including the curbing and one
block in length or one entire crossing): and provided further, that the Board
of Supervisors may partially or conditionally accept any street or portion of
a street without a sewer or pipe therein, as above stated, if a sewer or pipe
therein shall be deemed by them unnecessary: but the lots of land pre-
viously assessable for the cost of construction of a sewer or pipe shall still
remain and be assessable for such cost and for the cost of repair and restora-
tion of the street damaged in the said construction, when a sewer or pipe
shall be deemed necessary, the same as if no partial or conditional acceptance
had ever been had."
The conditions of acceptance so far as prohibiting the acceptance of less
than the fiill width, and an entire block of a street was changed by the pro-
visions of an Act of the Legislature passed at the session of 1877-78 (Sta-
tutes, 1877-78, page 959), which provided for the acceptance of any portion
of a street by suspending from the benefits of acceptance any portion of a
street where the owner of the property fronting thereon failed to pay the
assessments for the improvements which form the basis for acceptance, and
by this means relieving the City and County from keeping in repair at the
public expense the street in front of property the owner of which failed to
pay the contractor for the work done.
Under former Statutes when the work as required was performed the street
was accepted, whether the same was paid for or not, and thereafter kept in
repair at the public expense; under the Act of 1878 only that portion of tte
street in front of property the owners of which paid the assessment could
be accepted, the remaining portion still remaining liable and chargeable
with the expense of future repairs to the owners of the property fronting
thereon.
The following is the Statute referred to:
AN ACT TO CONFER ADDITIONAL POWERS ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISDRS OF
THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO IN RELATION TO ACCEPTED
STREETS.
[Approved April 1, 1878.1
The People of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as
follows :
SECTION 1. The Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco are
hereby authorized and empowered to suspend from the benefits of acceptance any portion of a
street where the owner of the property fronting thereon shall hen-after fail to pay the assess-
ments for the improvements which form the basis for acceptance by the corporate authorities.
SKC. 2. The Superintendent of Streets shall keep a thorough record in his office, and list
all property where the owner shall evade payment for the improvements which form the basis
for acceptance, and he shall make a careful record of the same in a book, or books, kept for
that purpose, showing correctly the portion of frontage in each block where the owners have
paid their assessments, and the portion where payments have been evaded.
SEC. 3. The said Superintendent of Streets shall also keep a careful record of all expendi-
tures hereafter made for repairs and renewals upon accepted streets, charging to each block
separately the amount expanded thereon, and in every block containing one or more lots hereby
suspended from the benefits of acceptance; he shall charge up to each its due proportion per
front foot of the whole cost, and the same shall become at once a valid lien upon the realty,

and bear interest at the rate of ten per cent per annum till liquidated by full payment into the
City Treasury ; provided, that at the expiration of one year from the date of the expenditures,
if the same is not paid, the same shall be marked "delinquent," and a list thereof shall be cer-
tified to the Tax Collector of the City and County of San Francisco, and said Tax Collector
shall thereupon advertise tho said property for sale to pay said delinquent assessment and
interest due thereon, and the costs and charges of advertising t.he same, and six months there-
after shall execute a deed therefor, provided the said property shall not be redeemed ; and if
redeemed, fifty par cent shall be added as a redemption fee therefor. Said certificate of- sale
and deed shall be in manner and form as the certificates and dee Is provided to be executed by
the Tax Collector on the sale of property for delinquent taxes, and shall be conclusive evidence
of tha validity of the assessment and of all prior proceedings, and shall be subject to be de-
clared invalid by proof only that the assessment for which the property was sold had been paid
prior to the date of sale.
SEC. 4. Any pieca of property which shall be suspended from the* benefits of acceptance
through the operations of this law may at any time be restored to its lost privileges and the
street in front of it accepted by payment to the contractor who did the work, the amount of
the assessment against such lot for the improvement of which it was suspended, and upon
filing a receipt therefor in the office of the Superintendent of Public Streets and Highways. It
may also be restored by payment of said sum into tht Treasury of the City and County of San
Francisco. All payments and collections of money under this Act shall be placed in a special
fund, to be designated as the "Special Street Fund." And each payment or collection must be
entered in a book to be kept by the Treasurer for that purpose, showing the amount collected,
a description of the lot, with the date of the contract and assessment for the non-payment of
which said lot was suspended, and the name of the contractor doing the work, as shown by
the books of the Street Commissioner. The contractor who did the work in front of any lot
suspended for non-payment of his assessment, or his assigns, shall be entitled to receive from
the Treasurer all moneys paid into the Treasury, either voluntarily by the lot owner, or col-
lected under the provisions of Section 3 of this Act, from time to time, as the same shall be
paid into the Treasury, up to the amount due him on said invalid assessment, and when he has
been fully paid said lot shall be released from i;,s disabilities, and the street in front thereof
shall be accepted. Nothing in this law contained shall be construed so as t > give any person
a claim against said City and County for any money, unless the stunc shall have been first col-
lected and paid into the Treasury, in accordance with the provisions of this Act, and to the
extent of such payment only. No lot shall be liab'.o to pay any sum beyond the amount of the
assessment for work done to place the same in condition to make the ^ame an accepted street.
SKC. 5. It shall in future be lawful for the city authorities to accept any portion of a
street for future maintenance by the city, wherj it is clearly shown to their satisfaction that
all the requisite improvements have been paid for by the owners of thj property fronting
thereon ; but no portion of a street shall hereafter be accepted while the bills remain unpaid
for the improvements whisjh form the basis for acceptance.
SKC. 6. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with tho provisions of this Act are hereby
repealed.
SEC. 7. This Act shall take effect from and after its passage.
Prior to October, 1871, streets were accepted without reference to any par-
ticular portion of a block, the name of the street and the streets between
which the same was accepted -being simply named, thus: " Washington street
from Dupont to Stockton street."
About that time it was claimed that the acceptance in that manner was of
such a character that it included not alone the roadway bat the sidewalks,
that is the entire width]] of the street, and that the expense of keep-
ing the same improved and in repair devolved upon the City. This
view led to a different mode of acceptance being adopted, for while
the liability of the City was conceded and intended by the acceptance
of a street, to extend to keeping improved and in repair the roadway
1054 APPENDIX.
and the curbs, yet it had not been anticipated that the sidewalks were also
by this act accepted, as no. attention was paid to the condition of the side-
walks when the street was accepted; for in almost all cases the sidewalks
were not permanently or uniformly improved, but were of such material as
the owner of the property which fronted thereon desired or had constructed.
In addition the privilege of using the space beneath the sidewalk for business
purposes, and of using a portion of the sidewalk for an approach to or a
descent to premises was conceded to the owner of the property fronting
thereon, and in portions of the city this privilege was and is very valuable,
as the space beneath the sidewalk to the curb line is used for business purposes.
After October 9, -1871, in order to avoid any question thereafter being
raised as to the action of the Board in relation to the extent of the accept-
ance of a street, the resolutions passed simply provided for the acceptance
of the roadway of the street, and since that time this practice has been observed.
The question of the liability of the City and County for the expense of
repairing and keeping improved the sidewalks claimed to be accepted is still
in abeyance, and if it should be finally determined that the sidewalks were
accepted, the annual expense entailed upon the City will be onerous, as a
large number of the principal blocks of streets will be embraced and included
in that determination.
In case of that 'result it will lead to the acceptance of the sidewalks of
streets where the roadway is only accepted, as the injustice of the city keep-
ing the sidewalks in one block improved and compelling the property owners
in the next block to keep the sidewalk in repair will be apparent.
Since the year 1874 the Orders of the Board of Supervisors designating
the kind and character of work to be done on a street prior to its acceptance,
required where main sewers were constructed that cement pipe side connec-
tions be made at distances of not less than twenty-five (25) feet apart on
each side of said sewer, to be at least six inches in the clear, and constructed
and carried up under the curb of the sidewalk so as to protect and prevent the
roadway from being disturbed.
The following tables contain the names of all accepted streets, street-
crossings and intersections, with the present character of pavements laid,
the conditions claimed under and by the said acceptance being different,
and comprise —
1st. Streets accepted to October 9, 1871, by resolutions under which it is
claimed that the roadway and sidewalks are accepted.
2d. Streets accepted from October 9, 1871, by resolutions under which the
roadway only is accepted.
3d. Streets accepted conditionally from April 4, 1870; that is, where no
sewer is constructed; property remaining chargeable therewith when the
sewer is deemed necessary; roadway only accepted.
4th. Streets accepted partially, from April 1, 1878; those portions of
streets only being accepted in front of property between the points named,
the owners of which, have paid the assessment for the work which formed the
basis of acceptance.

ENGINES AND BOILERS. 1077
STEjlM ENGINES AND BOILERS.
During the past few years efforts have been made from time to time to secure the appoi nt
ment of an Inspector of Steam Boilers and Steam Tanks, and at the session of the Legislature-
of 1875-76 an Act was passed entitled "An Act for the appointment of Inspector of Steam
Boilers and Steam Tanks, and for the better security of life and property in the City and
County of San Francisco." In regard to the advisability of having some such officer to exam-
ine the condition of steam boilers and steam tanks there seemed to be no question in the minds
of the Board, but the wording- of the Act and certain of its provisions called forth vigorous
protests from a large class of tha business community, and ultimately led to the repeal of the
law at the session of the Legislature of 1879-80. It was claimed by the boiler-makers and iron
merchants who were invited to appear before the Judiciary Committee, to whom their protests
were referred, that the provisions regulating the quality and kind of plates to be used in the
making of boilers was especially objectionable .in the fact that it would tend to proscribe cer-
tain kinds of iron, and, furthermore, to vest in the person of the Inspector appointed powers
almost autocratic, which might be used arbitrarily and in favor of certain parties friendly to
the Inspector. Further objection was also made to the clause requiring that the boilers should
be subjected to the hydrostatic tost before being put to active use. It was argued that such a
test, instead of securing the safety of the boiler from explosion, tended by its excessive strain
to weaken the plates, thereby making the danger of explosion greater than if no such test had
been made. These objections were urged by some of our most prominent and reliable manu-
facturers and merchants, who, while they were ready to concede that the office of Boiler In-
spector, established under certain restrictions, was a necessary one, yet were strenuously
opposed to the appointment of such an officer, vested with the powers bestowed on him under
the Act of 1875-6. Undoubtedly, the arguments advanced by these gentlemen effected the
repeal of the Act by the Legislature of 1879-80.
As this is a subject of more than ordinary importance, we give below a communication from
the Board of Fire Commissioners, recommending the appointment of a Boiler Inspector, the
majority and minority reports of the Judiciary Committee thereon, and also a list of all permits
granted by the Board of Supervisors to erect steam boilers and tanks within the city limits:
OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS,
SAN FRANCISCO, January
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco :
ilONERS, \
y6, 1880.)
GENTLEMEN— At a stated meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners, San Francisco Fire
Department, held on Monday, January 5, 1880, the following resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Respectfully,
E. B. VREELAND,
Clerk Board Fire Commissioners.
1078 APPENDIX.
WHEREAS, There are numerous steam boilers of doubtful strength and security located in
various portions of this city, and liable at any time to explode, thereby causing serious loss of
life and property, therefore be it
Resolved, That this Board of Fire Commissioners hereby suggest and recommend to the
Honorable Board of Supervisors the propriety of appointing a suitable person to fill the posi-
tion of Boiler Inspector for the City and County of San Francisco, and we do hereby
recommend the same for the protection of life and property.
MAJORITY REPORT
SAX FRANCISCO, January 5, 1880.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN — Your Judiciary Committee, to whom was referred a communication from the
Board of Fire Commissioners, transmitting a copy of a resolution adopted by said Board rec-
ommending the appointment of a suitable person as Inspector of Steam Boilers, for the protec-
tion of life and property in this city and county, would respectfully report :
That a meeting of your Committee was held on Thursday afternoon, the 22d instant, at 2
o'clock, at which all parties interested were expected to be present and state their views as to
the necessity of the appointment of an Inspector of Steam Boilers as a means of affording pro-
tection and security to life and property. A number of gentlemen engaged in the management
and conduct of the principal iron works, and possessing great practical knowledge and experience
in the construction of steam boilers, were present, and were heard as to the interests involved
and the object to be attained by the appointment of a Boiler Inspector under the Act of the
Legislature of 187f-76.
Messrs. Scott, Rankin, Benchley, Hall, Moynihan, Wheeler and Dickey, as well as Fredk. A.
Gibbs, Esq., ex-Supervisor, made statements sufficient to convince your Committee that no
favorable action of the Board should be taken upon the recommendation of the l.oard of Fire
Commissioners.
As very ably presented to your Committee, the Act of the Legislature referred
to, passed at the session of 1875-76, made provision for the appointment of an In-
spector of Steam Boilers, and conferred and allowed the exercise of such powers as
would tend to oppress the manufacturers, and all branches of industries where steam
boilers and tanks arc used, by generally allowing said Inspector to proscribe aid
set at naught all the rules established and recognize! by practical experience in the
material, construction and use of steam boilers and tanks. The very means to test the boiler,
as provided by the Act— the hydrostatic test— was shown to strain and injure a boiler, and
the power of determining the iron, steam gauges, etc., examination of engineers, and the pro-
hibition against any person taking charge of an engine and boiler unless possessing a certificate
from the Inspector, are such as to give undue weight and influence to any recommendation of
the Inspector as to the places he might recommend or suggest to obtain the material, business,
etc., thus virtually allowing him to dictate where patronage should be given ; and experience,
as a rule, will not justify the placing of such power in any one man, where the temptation to
wield it for his own personal profit would be so great, and where circumstances would render
it almost impossible to wield his influence with a due regard for the public interests alone.
It may be questioned whether any engineer of known ability and character would take a
position of this nature, and administer ana carry out the objects of the Act referred to in all
ENGINES AND BOILEKS. 1079
its details, with the knowledge that its provisions and requirements are such that set aside
practical experience and hamper and njure the mechanical industries. Your committee ven-
ture to assert that no such engineer would jeopardize his reputation and character by accepting
or countenancing any such appointment.
The evident objects of the bill, in the opinion of your committee, are:
First— To proscribe all honest and honorable competition in that branch of our mechanical
industries, and vest in one person the powers of an autocrat by determining in his own interest
where the business should be done.
Second— To tax the owner of every steam boiler and tank for the emolument of the
Inspector, and compel him to employ a skillful engineer, whether one is required or not.
Third — To tax every mechanic and every engineer by compelling him to pass an examination
prior to obtaining a certificate of his ability, of which the Inspector is the judge, and for which
he must be paid, and by that means to place, in many instances, careless and improper persons
in responsible positions, to the exchision of tried and careful men.
Fourth — To weaken the boiler, as has been shown, by subjecting it to the so-called hydro-
static test, which might be the direct means of rendering the said boiler dangerous.
Your committee are met in the consideration of this subject by the well known and o't-
repeated words, "for the protection of life and property," and while it is their duty to
recommend and support any measure looking to that end, they have not been-- able to ascertain
that this object finds any place in the Act providing for the appointment of an Inspector of
Steam Bcilers except the words, which, considering the objects, are seemingly used for the
purpose of deceiving the public as to its real intent.
There is evidently no serious objection to the appointment of a Boiler Inspector to examine
boilers when constructed and in operation, so as to ascertain their character and the amount of
steam that can be safely carried; and it is in the province of your Honorable Board, under the
privileges granted, to erect and maintain steam boilers and tanks, to provide for their inspec-
tion whenever and as often as may be thought advisable by any competent inspector. In
granting privileges of this character a certificate from a competent inspector is required, and
while your committee are desirous of throwing ever}7 safeguard around life and properly, they
can see no reason why our people engaged in the mechanical industries, and in various branches
of industry where boilers and tanks are used, should be oppressed; on the contrary, your com-
mittee conceive it to be their duty to foster, protect and encourage'all such industries in the
public interests. They therefore report against any action being taken on the recommendation
of the Board of Fire Commissioners, under the Act of the Legislature.
The subject of imposing additional conditions in the granting of privileges to erect steam
boilers and tanks, or in the examination of those in operation, your committee respectfully
recommend a reference to the Committee on Fire Department, for if any additional conditions
should be deemed necessary, your Honorable Board possesses ample power to impose them.
In conclusion, your committee recommend the passage of an accompanying Resolution, rec-
ommending the passage by the Legislature of the bill now introduced for the repeal of the Act
providing for the appointment of an Inspector of Steam Boilers and Tanks in this city and
county
Respectfully submitted, C. L. TAYLOR,
FRANK EASTMAN.
MINORITY REPORT.
To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN- The undersigned, a member of your Judiciary Committee, respectfully begs
leave to present a minority report in reference to the recommendation of the Board of Fire Com-
missioners for the appointment of an Inspector of Steam Boilers.
While agreeing with the majority of the Committee, that under the Statute of 1875-76, pro-
1080 APPENDIX.
Tiding for the appointment by your Hon. Board of an Inspector of Steam Boilers and Tanks, it
would be unjust and oppressive to our citizens to take any action thereunder, as the conferring-
of such arbitrary powers upon any officer, as shown by the gentleman heard by your Commit-
tee, would interfere with the character of the material used and the construction of boilers, and
would tend to materially increase instead of dizninish the chances of explosions, and for the
reasons more fully set forth in the majority report, I concur as to the injustice of putting into
operation the provisions of said Act.
The gentlemen heard by your Committee, and a41 the parties present on the occasion of the
meeting of your Judiciary Committee on this subject, wei'e principally interested in the con-
struction of steam boilers, and their practical experience gave to their opinions great weight,
and they convinced your Committee of the justice of their deductions as to the operations of the
Act if an Inspector was appointed.
Irving M. Scott, Esq., one of the gentlemen heard, presented a very clear, convincing and
succinct statement, and one which, from his well known standing, abilitj- and experience, im-
pressed me with the belief that his opinion was one which could not be controverted. In refer-
ring to Mr. Scott's statements I merely wish to show that he was of the opinion, and so ex-
pressed himself, that he did not believe there was any one opposed to the appointment of an In-
spector of Steam Boilers under a proper law. In consequence of the importance of this question,
and deeming it proper to ascertain clearly the powers of the Board independent of the Act in
question, I do not find any authorit}' for the appointment of an inspector. The Board undoubt-
edly possesses the power to affix conditions for the protection of life and property upon grant
ing a privilege to erect a steam boiler, but whatever may be the conditions imposed they never
can or will be enforced unless it is made the duty of a competent person to compel their observ-
ance; but the Board possesses no authority to appoint a competent engineer, which is required,
for the sole purpose of making all proper examinations and tests at suitable times to ensure
safety.
It is certainly no argument to contend that because there have been scarcely any or no ex-
plosions in this city and county, that it would be improper for the municipal authorities to urge
the passage of a proper law which would confer the power to appoint an Inspector of Boilers to
examine and make proper tests of. boilers in use, and to ascertain whether or not the person in
charge possessed the necessary qualifications. In this connection, I apprehend it would not
follow, nor, as has been represented, would it be requisite, that every person in charge of a
steam boiler should be a competent and skillful engineer, but it should be requisite that every
person in charge of a steam boiler should possess sufficient knowledge of his duties to insure
safety. In my judgment the law should riot give the inspecting powt/r beyond an examination
of the boiler in use and of the person in charge, and a competent engineer could safely pursue
his examinations and tests without unnecessarily subjecting any one to extraordinary delay.
This is a subject which, although spoken of and recommended from time to time for many
years, like many other important matters, has assumed no particular prominence, and very little
public attention has been given to it; but let some serious accident happen, some explosion
which will cause a loss of life and property, and then it will be heralded as a disaster clearly
attributable to a neglect of duty on the part of your Hon. Board in not seconding and securing
some measure through which steam boilers should have been inspected. To be sure the owners
of the property and boilers are careful, but can it be truthfully said that they do not occasion-
ally take risks, and may not these risks, being bridged over once, be oft repeated, until some
explosion takes place, scattering death and disaster in our midst?
The number of steam boilers scattered all over our city- and in our midst, it is estimated, will
aggregate about one thousand, located under our sidewalks, in the center of our blocks, every,
where scattered about; and if so permitted, is it not a proper precaution that they should be
inspected and the persons in charge examined, to ascertain if they are competent, in the inter-
ests of human life ? In my opinion, it is not alone a duty, but it is an imperative necessity.
In order to show that this subject engrossed the attention of our predecessors, I quote the
following from a report of the Committee on Amendments, consisting of Supervisors Roberts,
Lynch and Menzies, in 1872, when the number of boilers in operation was about one-half what
it is at present :
ENGINES AND BOILEES. 1081
" When it is taken into consideration the large number of steam engines and boilers that are
now being- used, the rapid increase of our manufactories, the reckless and dangerous risks that
are and have been run by owners and others, either through ignorance or to-save delay in mak-
ing repairs, or through anxiety to make the boilers last as long as possible, even if dangerous;
the number of accidents that occur, for these reasons, in Eastern cities, it must be apparent
that the municipal authorities should have the power to appoint a competent engineer to care-
full}' scrutinize, examine and test, from time to time, all steam boilers and tanks, as a proper
and required protection for our citizens."
In presenting this report, I should have preferred to ha\ e examined the statistics of Eastern
cities, and to have reported accidents and casualties resulting from explosions and their causes
also instances of how some steam boilers are run, regardless of ordinary care, in this city ; but,,
on account of a report being prepared by the majority, I have crudely presented my views, this-
subject being of so much importance that 1 did not, in my judgment, deem it expedient that
but one view of this question should be presented and further action prevented, and our people
lulled into security until some appalling disaster takes place. The adage of " one ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure " is, in my judgment, applicable to the consideration of
this subject.
As no person appeared before your Committee in advocacy of the appointment, as before
stated, the remarks of Mr. Scott induced me to consider this side of the question, and I report
as my conclusions —
First — That the Board of Fire Commissioners, in suggesting the appointment of an Inspector
of Steam Boilers, have performed their duty in calling attention to the necessity of providing
additional safeguards to life and property.
Second— That no Inspector of Steam Boilers and Tanks should be appointed under the Act of
1875-76, and that said Act, .being oppressive and unjust in its provisions, should be repealed.
Third — That your Hon. Board should have power to appoint a competent person Inspector of
Boilers and Tanks, at a fixed salary per month, payable out of the treasury.
Fourth — That a system of fees should be provided sufficient to make the said office self-sup-
porting, and all of said fees and emoluments should be paid into the treasury.
Respectfully submitted,
J. M. LITCHFIELD.
