REPORT 


OF  THE 


Superintendent  of  Public  Streets, 

HIGHWAYS  AND  SQUARES. 


OFFICE  OF  THE. SUPERINTENDENT  OF  PUBLIC  STEEETS,  \ 
HIGHWAYS  AND  SQUARES, 

NEW  CITY  HALL,  July  15,  1889.  ) 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  :     In  accordance  with  Resolution  No.  2213  (Third  Series), 
herewith  submit  my  report  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1889. 

There  has  been  5  2350-5280  miles  of  streets  paved  with  basalt  blocks,  and 
14  598-5280  miles  of  sewers  built,  for  which  see  annexed  tables. 

Of  these  streets  so  paved  3  1122-5280  miles  have  been  accepted  by  your 
Honorable  Board  and  added  to  the  accepted  streets  of  this  city. 

The  work  of  improving  the  streets  of  this  city  heretofore  accepted  has  pro- 
gressed, as  far  as  was  possible,  with  the  monies  appropriated  for  this  depart- 
ment, during  the  past  fiscal  year.  1  hope  to  continue  this  work,  and  repave 
with  basalt  block,  as  many  of  these  streets  originally  paved  with  cobbles,  as  the 
monies  now  appropriated  for  repairs  on  accepted  streets  will  permit.  This 
work  of  repaving  is  in  my  judgment  the  wisest  and  most  economic  course, 
all  attempts  to  repair  the  cobble  paved  streets  in  that  portion  of  the  city  sub- 
ject to  heavy  traffic  is  simply  a  waste  of  public  money. 


The  amount  of  sewers  constructed  during  the  past  fiscal  year  denotes  an 
improvement  in  the  sanitary  condition  of  the  City,  and  also  indicates  its  in- 
creased growth  both  in  extent  and  population.  This  work  is  up  to  the  pres- 
ent being  performed  without  any  definite  plan  or  system,  the  only  exception 
being  that  section  of  the  city  lying  between  Army  and  Channel  streets  and 
1 


2       REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  STREETS. 

Valencia  street,  and  for  which  the  City  Engineer  has  prepared  a  plan.  All 
sewers  now  being  constructed  within  these  boundaries,  are  built  in  accordance 
with  his  plan  for  that  district.  The  outlet  for  most  of  these  sewers,  is  through 
the  Array  street  sewer,  but  the  city  has  not  as  yet  acquired  the  right  of  way 
over  any  of  the  intersecting  streets  between  Mission  street  and  Potrero  av- 
enue, and  Twenty-sixth  and  Army  streets,  except  Bryant  avenue,  and  only  a 
small  portion  of  the  sewers  in  that  district  can  be  conducted  to  the  receiving 
sewer  along  the  street.  The  condemnation  of  the  land  necessary  to  extend 
the  streets  within  the  points  named  to  Army  street  is  now  a  sanitary  necess- 
ity, and  I  respectfully  request  that  your  Honorable  Board  commence  pro- 
ceedings to  so  extend  them. 

I  hope  that  your  Honorable  Board  will  in  the  near  future  have  a  system  or 
plan  prepared  for  the  further  extension  of  the  sewers.  This  is  now  more 
than  ever  necessary,  as  the  increasing  growth  of  the  city  requires  that  the 
sewering  of  the  outlying  districts  be  projected — not  in  fractional  parts  with 
no  relation  to  each  other  either  in  shape  or  capacity,  but  according  to  some 
definite  plan.  The  random  manner  in  which,  sewers  have  heretofore  been 
constructed  will  yet  cause  serious  loss  and  damage,  as  every  day  new  sewers 
are  being  built,  which  have  to  discharge  into  others,  entirely  inadequate  to 
carry  oft  the  sewage  and  storm  waters  conveyed  to  them.  To  provide  a  par- 
tial outlet  for  sewers  so  overcharged  it  will  be  necessary  to  construct  auxil- 
iary or  relieving  sewers,  to  divert  a  portion  of  the  sewage  to  other  channels. 

PAVING. 

The  quantity  of  basalt  block  pavement  shows  a  large  increase  over  the 
previous  year.  In  the  fhst  half  of  the  past  year  there  was  a  scarcity  of  this 
material,  but  I  am  now  informed  that  the  supply  is  ample  and  as  a  conse- 
quence the  cost  of  fetich  pavement  has  fallen  a  little  during  the  past  six 
months. 

During  my  incumbency  of  this  office  I  have  endeavored  to  have  this  class 
of  work  performed  in  a  durable  and  substantial  manner,  and  1  am  satisfied 
that  the  streets  so  paved  during  that  period  will  not  cost  the  city  any  money 
for  repairs  for  many  years  to  come. 

MACADAMIZED  STREETS. 

During  the  past  year  there  has  been  19  4627-5280  miles  of  macadamized 
streets  constructed  in  this  city. 

Although  this  form  of  street  improvement  is  open  to  great  objection,  yet 
in  certain  localities  it  is  the  only  form  of  improvement  which  it  is  possible 
to  obtain.  In  many  cases  where  new  streets  are  opened  and  are  ordered  im- 
proved, the  work  of  grading  if  added  to  a  more  expensive  improvement  would 
exceed  one-half  the  assessed  value  of  thn  property  affected  aud  therefore  could 
not  be  perfoimed  unless  the  city  paid  the  difference  in  cost,  and  in  other 
cases  the  property  owners  would  not  agree  to  construct  any  other  pavement.

The  great  objection  to  macadam  is  that  there  cannot  be  any  provision  made 
according  to  law  to  water  or  repair  the  streets  so  improved,  in  the  specifi- 
cations for  such  work  adopted  by  your  Honorable  Board.  I  have  as  far  as 
possible  sought  to  effect  an  improvement  in  the  manner  of  doing  this  class  of 
work  and  have  inserted  a  clause  requiring  the  contractors  in  all  cases  to  water 
macadamized  streets  for  a  period  of  seven  days  after  completion . 

BITUMINOUS    BOCK  PAVEMENT. 

The  amount  of  bituminous  rock  pavement  laid  down  during  the  past  fiscal 
year  (1  28-5280  miles)  is  set  forth  in  annexed  tables,  almost  all  of  this  work 
has  been  performed  by  property  owners  by  their  own  choice.  In  many  cases 
where  your  Honorable  Board  ordered  streets  and  crossings  paved  with  basalt 
blocks,  the  owners  of  the  property  liable  for  costs  of  such  improvements  elect- 
ed to  enter  into  private  contract  with  parties  engaged  in  laying  bituminous 
rock  and  have  the  street  in  front  of  their  premises  so  paved.  The  cleanli- 
ness and  uniformity  of  this  pavement,  and  the  little  noise  made  by  traffic 
over  it,  caused  this  preference,  even  though  they  were  aware  your  Honorable 
Board  have  not  yet  decided  to  accept  it. 

The  cost  of  repairs  on  all  streets  heretofore  paved  with  this  material  has 
been  borne  by  the  contractors  who  have  laid  it  down,  by  arrangement  between 
them  and  property  owners,  but  when  properly  laid  on  a  concrete  foundation 
the  repairs  needed  are  few  and  can  be  performed  at  a  very  small  expense. 

The  experience  of  other  cities  both  in  this  country  and  in  Europe,  in  which 
similar  material  has  been  used,  shows  that  the  cost  of  repairs,  on  streets  so 
paved  compares  favorably  with  the  cost  of  repairs  on  streets  paved  with  any 
other  material.  In  some  cases  the  expense  did  not  exceed  two  cents  per 
square  yard  per  year,  of  course  this  applies  to  streets  not  subject  to  extraor- 
dinarily heavy  traffic,  and  in  many  cases  it  is  asserted  that  no  repairs  have 
been  needed  for  a  period  of  ten  years  after  construction. 

The  cost  of  repairing  the  basalt,  granite  and  cobble  pavements  laid  in  this 
city  prior  to  1886  will  average  ten  cents  per  square  yard  per  year. 

In  my  judgment  this  material,  for  economy,  ease  of  travel  and  cleanliness, 
excels  any  other  form  of  pavement  ever  laid  down  on  streets  of  this  city,  and 
if  the  question  of  its  durability  was  permanently  established,  it  should  be 
used  on  all  streets  west  of  Stockton  and  southwest  of  Eighth  streets,  which 
are  not  subject  to  heavy  traffic. 

TBAFFIO   OVER   STREETS. 

I  desire  to  call  the  attention  of  your  Honorable  Board  to  the  extraordinary 
wear  the  streets  paved  with  stone  blocks  in  the  business  portion  of  the  city 
are  subject  to.  I  find  that  the  better  condition  streets  are  put  in,  the 
heavier  the  loads  they  are  subjected  to.  I  have  been  informed  on  good  au- 
thority, that  loads  exceeding  twenty  thousand  pounds  have  been  conveyed 
over  them  on  trucks  the  tires  of  whose  wheels  in  no  case  exceeded  five  inches 


4       REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  STREETS. 

in  width.     This  subjects  the  roadway  over  which  such  loads  travel  to  a  pres- 
sure exceeding  one  thousand  pounds  to  the  square  inch. 

No  roadway  no  matter  what  material  is  used  therein,  or  how  well  construc- 
ted, can  long  withstand  such  traffic,  therefore  I  earnestly  request  your  Hon- 
orable Board  to  so  amend  Section  11,  General  Order  1587,  as  to  prohibit  the 
hauling  of  such  excessive  loads  unless  the  tires  of  the  wheels  of  the  trucks 
or  drays  on  which  they  are  carried  are  of  a  width  commensurate  with  the 
load. 

SIDE   SEWEES. 

One  of  the  most  destructive  trials  the  paved  and  macadamized  streets  of 
this  city  are  subject  to,  is  the  construction  and  repair  of  side  sewers.  Under 
the  provisions  of  General  Order  1588,  any  person  on  deposit  of  $20.00  in  this 
office,  can  obtain  a  permit  to  dig  up  the  street  and  cut  into  the  main  sewer. 
No  care  which  it  is  possible  for  me  to  exercise,  can  insure  the  proper  recon- . 
struction  of  the  streets  so  disturbed,  I  therefore  suggest  that  said  order  be 
amended  so  as  to  have  all  such  work  performed  by  this  department,  and  have 
the  deposit  graduated  to  insure  payment  for  the  work. 

VAN  NESS   AVENUE. 

During  the  past  year  the  unfinished  portion  of  Van  Ness  Avenue  between 
Market  and  Yallejo  streets  has  been  completed.  I  have  heretofore  prepared 
by  direction  of  your  Honorable  Board  a  diagram  of  the  lands  to  be  condemned 
under  the  provisions  of  an  act  of  the  Legislature  approved  March  6th,  1889, 
for  the  extension  of  Van  Ness  Avenue  from  Vallejo  street  to  the  waters  of 
the  Bay,  also  a  description  of  the  boundaries  of  the  lands  to  be  assessed  for 
benefits  and  damages.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  this  most  important  work  will 
be  performed  as  quickly  as  possible  as  it  will  open  up  a  portion  of  this  city 
whose  progress  has  heretofore  been  retarded  for  want  of  this  improvement. 

In  this  connection  I  desire  to  call  your  attention  to  the  proposition  made 
by  Gen.  Miles  regarding  the  extension  of  Van  Ness  Avenue  and  the  further 
work  of  constructing  a  driveway  from  that  avenue  to  the  Presidio  Reserva- 
tion. That  gentlemen  informed  me  that  if  the  property  owners  along  the 
line  of  Lombard  street  would  sewer  and  curb  that  street  he  would  grade  and 
macadamize  the  roadway  thereof  from  Van  Ness  Avenue  to  the  Reservation 
line.  I  need  scarcely  say  that  the  work  herein  proposed  to  be  done,  and 
which  Gen.  Miles  has  volunteered  to  perform  free  of  any  cost  to  the  people, 
together  with  the  opening  of  Van  Ness  Avenue,  would  enhance  the  value  of 
property  in  that  section  of  the  city,  and  give  an  -impetus  to  improvements 
therein,  which  it  cannot  have  until  this  work  is  accomplished. 

COUNTY    EOADS. 

The  appropriations  for  repairs  on  the  County  roads  for  the  past  fiscal 
year,  $8000,  has  limited  the  amount  of  work  which  could  be  done. 


REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  STREETS.       5 

The  increasing  travel  over  that  portion  known  as  the  Mission  road  com- 
pels  continuous  repairs  thereto.  It  is  the  main  highway  running  southerly 
from  the  city.  Almost  all  the  farm  produce  to  supply  our  city  passes  over  it. 
I  have  therefore  been  compelled  to  keep  this  road  in  good  condition,  and  it 
is  now  in  better  condition  than  many  of  the  macadamized  streets  of  this  city. 
The  remainder  of  the  County  roads  not  being  subject  to  much  traffic  do  not 
require  continuous  repairs,  but  their  condition  is  fair,  no  further  improvement 
being  possible  with  the  amount  appropriated. 

In  conclusion  I  thank  your  Honorable  Board  for  the  aid  and  courtesy  ex- 
tended to  me  during  the  past  year,  and  submit  this  report  for  your  consider- 
ation and  judgment.

COUNTY  CLERK'S  REPORT. 


To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  : 

GENTLEMEN:  In  submitting  for  your  consideration  my  Annual  Report 
showing  the  transactions  of  the  County  Clerk's  Office  for  the  year  ending 
June  30,  1889,  I  desire  to  call  your  attention  to  the  general  increase  of  bus- 
iness in  all  of  the  departments,  consequent  upon  the  steady  growth  of  the  city. 
This  is  particularly  shown  in  the  declarations  of  intentions  filed,  the  certifi- 
cates of  naturalization  issued,  marriage  licenses  granted,  suits  commenced  in 
Superior  Court,  appeals  and  abstracts  from  Justices  Court,  judgments  rendered 
and  the  increase  of  fees  received.  In  no  instance,  however,  is  the  increase  so 
noticeable  as  in  the  Probate  Department  of  the  Superior  Court,  and  it  is  more 
marked  there  because  of  the  pressing  need  of  space  and  conveniences  for  dis- 
patching the  rapidly  increasing  biisiness  of  the  Department. 

Desiring  to  present  to  your  Honorable  Board  the  condition  of  this  Depart- 
ment, so  far  as  it  relates  to  my  office,  I  submit  for  your  consideration  a  few 
comparisons  with  the  business  of  former  years. 

In  the  Probate  Department  every  paper  filed  must  be  entered  upon  the 
Register,  and  in  addition  thereto  all  claims  allowed.  Decrees  and  orders 
made  bonds  approved,  letters  testamentary  or  of  administration,  guar- 
dianship, etc.,  must  be  fully  recorded,  and  all  decrees  and  orders  spread  in 
full  upon  the  minutes  of  the  Court. 

Let  me  give  in  brief  a  comparison  of  the  work  of  the  Probate  Court  from 
its  practical  establishment  in  1849  to  1880,  the  date  of  the  establishment  of 
the  Superior  Court,  with  that  of  the  business  of  the  Probate  Department 
from  that  date  (1880)  to  the  present  time. 

From  1849  to  1880,  a  period  of  nearly  forty-two  years,  there  were  used  thir- 
teen Registers,  containing  9,582  cases.  Since  the  organization  of  the  Super- 
ior Court  in  1880,  nearly  thirteen  registers  have  been  used,  containing  a  total 
of  8,667  cases,  nearly  as  many  in  the  last  nine  years  as  in  the  preceding 
forty- two. 

Eighty-one  minute  books  were  required  for  recording  orders,  decrees,  etc., 


COUNTY  CLERK'S  REPORT.  47 

from  1849  to  1880,  and  since  that  time  the  number  of  volumes  used  is  ninety- 
nine. 

During  the  six  months  ending  December  31,  1888,  there  were  filed  531  new 
cases,  and  the  fees  received  amounted  to  $8,744,00  not  including  the  Library 
fee  of  one  dollar  exacted  in  each  case  filed. 

For  the  six  months  ending  June  30,  1889,  there  were  601  new  cases  filed 
and  the  fees  received  amounted  to  $10,099.95  in  excess  of  the  Library  fee, 
showing  an  increase  of  seventy  new  cases  and  $1,355.75  as  fees. 

The  accommodations  for  records  are  already  overcrowded  and  will  soon  be 
entirely  inadequate. 

All  available  space  for  filing  papers  is  nearly  exhausted  and  the  vault  in  use 
is  more  than  filled,  in  consequence  valuable  papers  cannot  have  the  proper 
care  and  the  labor  of  preserving  them  is  greatly  increased. 

Separate  shelves  and  racks  have  had  to  be  made  for  the  storage  of  the  pa- 
pers of  the  Blythe  and  other  large  estates.  The  Indexes  in  use  are  nearly 
filled  and  some  of  them  are  in  bad  condition,  they  will'soon  have  to  be  re- 
placed and  this  duty  will  require  the  supervision  of  an  experienced  person. 

When  the  vast  amount  and  the  importance  of  the  business  transacted  in  this 
Department  is  taken  into  consideration,  with  the  accommodations  necessary 
for  the  members  of  the  Bar  and  litigants  for  the  transaction  of  such  business, 
your  Honorable  Body  will  find  upon  inquiry  that  the  present  facilities  are 
entirely  inadequate  therefor. 

In  calling  your  attention  particularly  to  the  needs  of  the  Probate  Depart- 
ment, I  am  influenced  by  the  hope  that  it  may  assist  in  providing  in  the 
building  now  in  course  of  construction  apartments  suitable  and  convenient  for 
the  safe  keeping  of  its  important  records  with  proper  facilities  for  the  public 
having  business  therewith. 

Your  obedient  servant, 

WM.  A.  DAVIES, 
July  15,  1889.  County  Clerk.

ASSESSOR'S    REPORT. 


ASSESSOR'S  OFFICE, 
SAN  FRANCISCO,  .July  24 


,  1889.    j 


To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  :  In  compliance  with  Resolution  No.  2213,  of  your  Honorable 
Body,  I  herewith  submit  my  annual  report  as  City  and  County  Assessor,  for 
the  year  ending  June  30,  1889.  On  the  first  Monday  of  June  last,  I  delivered 
to  John  A.  Russell,  Clerk  of  your  Board,  the  Assessment  Roll  of  Personal 
Property,  contained  in  seventeen  volumes,  amounting  to  $65,153,068.  This 
is  au  increase  over  last  year  of  $3,231,439. 

On  June  29,  1889,  I  also  delivered  to  you  the  Real  Estate  Assessment  Roll,, 
contained  in  forty-four  volumes,  amounting  to  $240,819,652,  of  which  $172,- 
248,720  was  assessment  against  land  and  $68,570,932  was  the  assessment  on 
improvements  located  thereon. 

In  addition  to  the  above  I  also  delivered  one  volume,  containing  Assess- 
ment for  the  payment  of  principal  and  interest  on  Dupont  Street  bonds, 
two  volumes  of  Real  Estate  Indexes,  and  forty-seven  Block  Baoks  of  Mips 
of  all  the  lands  and  subdivisions  of  Real  Estate  within  the  City  and  County 
of  San  Francisco. 

The  Real  Estate  Assessment  Roll  shows  an  increase  of  $29,351,665  over 
last  year,  of  which  $25,001,927  is  on  land,  and  $4,349,738  on  improvements. 
The  last  three  have  been  years  of  great  prosperity  throughout  the  State  ;  it 
may  not  be  too  much  to  say  that  these  years  have  witnessed  the  greatest  ma- 
terial progress  enjoyed  by  the  Pacific  Coast  during  the  last  decade. 

The  prosperity  of  this  city  has  its  foundation  laid  in  the  healthy  and  uni- 
form advance  of  improvement  of  this  State  and  coast. 

The  great  addition  to  the  Assessment  Roll  of  the  Real  Estate  of  the  city 
is  an  index  of  and  a  result  flowing  from  the  steady  and  continued  growth 
and  property  increase  of  the  Pacific  slope. 

The  section  of  the  city  embraced  within  the  district  lying  North  of  Cali- 
fornia, East  of  Stockton  streets  and  to  the  bay,  has  not  advanced  beyond  last 


68  ASSESSOR'S   REPORT. 

year's  figures.  This  section  embraces  about  all  of  the  city  that  had  an  active 
existence  thirty  years  ago.  It  also  includes  the  portion  afflicted  with 
the  presence  of  the  Chinese.  Wherever  these  people  settle  property  values 
cease  to  advance.  All  other  sections  of  the  city  have  advanced,  in  some  to  a 
marked  degree.  The  Cable  Railway  systems  are  a  prominent  factor  in  en- 
hancing the  land  values  of  the  sections  traversed  and  served  by  them,  this  is 
true  in  a  very  pronounced  degree  of  the  Powell  Street  Railway,  traversing  the 
section  known  as  Pacific  Heights,  lying  West  of  Van  Ness  Avenue.  The 
Omnibus  Cable  Railway  has  also  contributed  greatly  to  the  enhancement  of 
land  values,  in  the  districts  South  of  Market  street,  notably,  from  about 
Sixth  to  Twenty-six  streets,  for  blocks  on  either  side  of  Howard  street. 

Complaint  has  hitherto  been  made  that  the  sasessments  levied  by  this 
office  on  land  in  certain  districts  were  not  sufficiently  high  to  meet  the  re- 
quirements of  the  street  law  known  as  the  Vrooman  Act.  All  street  assess- 
ments are  made  under  this  law;  one  of  its  requirements  is,  that  no  assess- 
ment made  for  street  improvement  purposes  shall  exceed  in  its  cost  fifty  cents 
on  the  dollar  of  the  assessment  levied  by  the  City  and  County  Assessor,  for 
State  and  County  Taxes.  Districts  lacking  street  improvements  need  not  de- 
lay intended  inauguration  of  the  same.  I  believe  the  city  authorities  should, 
as  much  as  possible,  protect  the  individual  tax-payer  against  being  "  improved 
out  of  his  property,"  by  reason  of  the  heavy  expenses  incurred  in  grading 
and  sewering  large  districts  which  do  not  need  and  cannot  use  the  same  for 
many  years  after,  but  whilst  not  believing  in  forcing  improvements  upon  dis- 
tricts not  sufficiently  populated,  yet,  I  also  believe,  that  injustice  is  often 
done  to  a  neighborhood  by  the  factious  and  obstructive  conduct  of 
non-progressive  owners  of  land  in  a  section  in  great  need  of  being  graded 
and  sewered. 

It  is  my  belief,  that  the  land  valuations  contained  in  the  Assessment  Roll 
for  1889,  will  admit  of  the  inauguration  of  street  improvements  in  all  sections 
of  the  city  that  stand  in  need  of  them. 

It  may  not  be  out  of  place  for  me  at  this  point,  to  call  attention  to  the 
character  and  style  of  improvements  erected  within  the  last  year  or  so. 

Business  blocks  are  built  in  a  manner  that,  though  giving  full  scope  to  a 
architectural  grace  and  beauty,  never  sacrifice  strength  and  solidity.  No  one 
can  fail  to  observe  the  great  difference  in  the  character  of  the  structures 
erected  of  late  years,  compared  to  those  formerly  built. 

The  buildings  of  former  years  were  intended  to  subserve  a  temporary 
purpose,  and  were  built  regardless  of  either  beauty  or  permanence,  while 
those  of  to-day  are  true  types  of  the  best  structures  known  to  the  period. 
This  indicates  the  change  from  a  past  uncertainty  of  the  present  feeling 
of  assured  confidence  in  the  stability  of  the  city's  future. 

I  have  also  carefully  compiled  the  aggregate  number  of  Personal  Property 
tax-payers,  the  assessed  valuation  of  the  same  and  the  increa3e  over  pre- 
ceding years,  which  shows  an  astonishing  improvement,  both  in  numbers 
and  values  during  the  years  1886,  '87,  '88  and  1889,  together  with  the  assessed 


ASSESSOK'S   REPORT. 


valuation  of  Real  Estate  during  the  same  period  of  time,  which  also  shows 
a  significant  increase.  This  very  marked  improvement  indicates  the  great 
magnitude  of  the  operations  of  this  department.

visions in  three  years,  or  exceeding  twelve  per  cent.,  involving  a  correspond- 
ing increase  in  the  labor  of  this  office  in  Real  Estate  alone. 

NOTE. — A  "  sub  "  or  subdivision  is  a  lot  or  parcel  of  land  owned  by  one

In  this  connection  I  desire  to  to  call  your  attention  to  the  Mortgages  on 
realty  held  by  the  Trustees  of  such  State  Institutions  as  the  University  of 
California,  and  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  and  Blind  Asylum.  The  money  of  these 
institutions  is  loaned  by  the  Trustees  to  private  citizens. 

To  secure  the  loan,  a  mortgage  is  taken  upon  the  reality  of  the  borrower. 

The  Trustees  obtain  sanction  for  their  action  by  virtue  of  An  Act,  passed 
by  the  State  Legislature,  about  fifteen  years  ago. 


ASSESSOR'S   KEPOKT.  73 

The  sum  of  $514,755,  representing  the  value  of  the  above  class  of  mort- 
gages for  this  year  in  this  County,  has  been  stricken  from  the  Assessment 
Roll,  as,  under  a  late  decision  of  our  Supreme  Court,  these  mortgages  have 
been  declared  exempt  from  taxation.  The  letter  of  the  law  permits  the 
Trustees  of  these  institutions  to  loan  the  money  of  the  State  upon  this  class 
of  security.  It  seems  to  me  the  Act  is  open  to  the  gravest  objections. 
The  policy  of  such  legislative  enactments  is  exceedingly  questionable. 
Your  attention  is  here  called  to  the  subject,  because  of  the  hop 3  that  you 
would  thereby  be  induced  to  take  such  steps  as  might  seem  in  your  judg- 
ment proper  to  have  the  State  Legislature  at  its  next  session  memorialized 
regarding  this  evil  with  a  view  to  its  repeal. 

Every  county  in  this  State  has  a  right  to  expect  the  property  located 
within  each  and  every  other  county  will  contribute  its  just  and  reasonable 
proportion  of  tax  to  the  State  Treasury. 

A  law  which  tends  to  create  a  class  exempted  from  the  payment  of  taxes 
to  either  State  or  County,  is  wrong,  and  in  its  nature  radically  unjust ;  such 
laws  are  un-American  and  un-democratic. 

The  constitution  contemplated  that  the  burthens  of  the  State  should  be 
equally  borne  by  all  citizens  of  the  commonwealth. 

This  system  of  cla^s  exemption  from  taxation  is  subversive  of  good 
government.  It  is  unconstitutional  in  its  every  part.  No  constitution  of 
any  form  of  government  contemplates  the  conserving,  by  law,  of  a  system 
that  inherently  provides  for  the  destruction  of  the  State  or  any  of  its  integral 
parts. 

The  revenue  needed  for  the  support  of  these  institutions  of  the  State, 
should  be  derived  from  either  direct  taxation  or  general  public  securities. 

The  amount  expended  by  this  office  during  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889, 
for  salaries  of  extra  deputies  was  $50,000  ;  as  allowed  by  your  Honorable 
Board. 

For  the  amount  of  expenditures  of  this  office  for  advertising,  stationery, 
printing,  etc.,  I  beg  to  refer  you  to  the  report  of  the  Auditor  and  Treasurer, 
as  also  for  the  amount  of  poll  tax  collected. 

I  also  herewith  submit  for  your  inspection,  a  copy  of  my  annual  report  to 
the  Surveyor  General  of  the  State  with  the  statistics  of  the  Mechan- 
ical and  Manufacturing  interests  of  the  City  and  County. 

Very  respectfully, 

J.  C.  NEALON, 

Assessor  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco.

now  at  large  on  their  own  recognizance.  They  seem  to  have  been  lost  sight 
of  from  time  to  time  in  previous  reports:

REPORT  OF  THE  CHIEF  ENGINEER 


SAN  FRANCISCO  FIRE  DEPARTMENT. 


HEADQUARTERS  FIRE  DEPARTMENT, 
OLD  CITY  HALL, 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  July  1,  1889. 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  ;  According  to  the  law  governing  the  Department,  the  under, 
signed,  Chief  Engineer,  has  the  honor  of  herewith  submitting  for  your  con- 
sideration the  following  report  of  the  operations  of  the  Department  under 
his  charge  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1889. 

Therein  will  be  found  a  full  list  of  the  officers  and  members  comprising 
the  force,  a  record  of  the  alarms  responded  to,  and  fires  that  have  occurred 
during  the  year;  the  loss  by  fire  and  the  amount  of  insurance  on  property 
affected;  the  aggregate  of  insurance  paid;  also  such  suggestions  and  recom- 
mendations that  appear  to  me  necessary  to  increase  the  efficiency  of  this  branch 
of  the  municipal  service. 

During  the  past  year  the  Department  responded  to  296  first-bell  alarms,  3 
second-bell  alarms  and  1  third-bell  alarm,  and  161  still  or  verbal  alarms, 
making  a  total  of  461  alarms  of  fire  answered  by  the  Department. 

The  total  loss  by  fire  as  determined  by  Captain  White  of  the 

Underwriters  Fire  Patrol  was $1,042,367.35 

Amount  of  Insurance  Paid 593,557.27 


Actual  Loss  to  Property- owners $448,810.08 


CHIEF  ENGINEER'S  REPORT.  161 

NOTABLE    FIRES. 

July  25,  1888,  2:55  P.  M.,  Box  219.  This  alarm  was  for  a  fire  in  the  pack- 
ing house  of  Roth,  Blum  &  Co.,  caused  from  a  defective  smoke  house.  In 
consequence  of  the  inflammable  nature  of  the  contents  of  the  premises,  the 
fire  spread  with  great  rapidity.  Owing  to  the  inadequate  supply  of  water  in 
this  neighborhood,  there  being  but  two  hydrants  in  this  vicinity,  it  required 
great  effort  on  the  part  of  the  Department  to  stop  the  fire  from  spreading  to 
the  adjoining  buildings. 

The  loss  at  this  fire  is  estimated  to  be  $37,731.50. 

September  9,  1888,  1:U  P.  M.,  Box  265.  This  alarm  was  for  a  fire  which 
started  in  the  Main  Street  Planing  Mill,  caused  from  a  spark  from  a  furnace 
Owing  to  the  inflammable  nature  of  the  building  and  the  adjoining  struct- 
ures and  the  high  wind  which  at  the  time  was  prevailing,  the  fire  spread  with 
great  rapidity,  and  proved  to  be  the  most  disastrous  conflagration  of  the  year, 
consuming  everything  in  its  path,  from  Main  street  to  the  water  front. 
The  rapidity  of  this  fire  was  so  great  that  the  hose  of  the  Department  was 
consumed  in  many  instances  as  soon  as  it  was  laid,  thereby  causing  consider- 
able loss  to  the  Department. 

The  loss  at  this  fire  is  estimated  to  be  $453,000. 

May  9,  1889,  2:52  A.  M.,  Box  78.  This  alarm  was  for  a  flre  in  the  Pacific 
Box  Factory,  on  Ninth  street,  between  Harrison  and  Bryant  streets.  Esti- 
mated loss,  $20,000. 

CASUALTIES. 

In  view  of  the  daogerous.duties  the  members  of  the  Department  have  to 
perform,  and  the  great  risks  they  take  in  the  discharge  of  those  duties,  the 
casualties,  I  am  pleased  to  say,  have  been  few  during  the  year.  The  follow- 
ing is  the  list  of  the  most  serious  : 

February  18,  1839,  Henry  Ryder,  Hoseman  in  Engine  9;  crushed  foot  and  injured  ankle  joint  by 
being  run  over  by  the  hose  cart. 

April  18,  1833,  James  Riley,  Foreman  Hose  Company  Xo.  5;  broke  ankle  joint. 

June  5,  1833,  James  Riley.  Assistant  Chief  Engineer,  in  responding  to  an  alarm  of  fire  from  Box 
36  was  thrown  from  his  buggy  and  had  his  wrist  broken  and  leg  injured. 

MORTUARY. 

During  the  year  the  following  members  and  employees  of  the  Department 
died  : 

August  23, 1838,  Thos.  Creighton,  Hoseman  in  Engine  17,  died  of  consumption. 
September  2,  1833,  N.  H.  Arnett,  Driver  of  Hose  5,  died  of  heart  disease. 
September  23,  188S,  David  Donahue,  Hoseman  Engine  9,  killed. 
Ootobsr  13,  18*83,  Fred  Rose,  Engine  5,  died  of  consumption. 
Novembar  28,  1833,  C.  Quigley,  Hoseman  Engine  10,  died  of  consumption.

162  CHIEF  ENGINEER'S   REPORT. 


COEPOBATION     YARD. 

The  relief  apparatus  of  the  Department  for  service  consists  of  7  Steam 
Fire  Engines,  1  Hose  Carriage,  6  Hose  Carts  and  3  Relief  Trucks. 

During  the  year  17  Horses  were  purchased.  ,  Five  Horses  that  were 
declared  of  no  further  use  to  the  Department  were  transferred  to  the  stables 
of  the  House  of  Correction  and  Industrial  School.  Three  Horses  having 
received  fatal  injuries  were  killed  ;  1  Horse  died  from  disease  and  4  were 
sold  at  auction  by  order  of  his  honor  the  Mayor. 

The  Horses  now  in  service  are  distributed  as  follows  :  To  Engine  Com- 
panies, 54;  Hose  Companies,  9;  Hook  and  Ladder  Companies,  10  ;  Engi- 
neers' Buggies,  8,  and  Relief  Horses  in  Corporation  Yard  Stables  and  Alamo 
Square  Stables  17,  making  a  total  of  98  Horses  in  service  in  the  Department 
at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year. 

Forty-nine  Hydrants  were  set  in  new  locations,  making  a  total  of  1,563 
Hydrants  in  use  by  the  Department. 

Pursuant  to  order  No.  2,031,  amendatory  to  Section  86  of  Order  1,917  of 
the  Honorable  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  regulating  the 
sale  ofFire  Works, 

I  have  granted  17  Wholesale  Permits,   at  $50  each $    850.00 

109  Retail  Permits,  at  $10  each .•  1,090.00 

Making  a  Total  of $1,940.00 

One-half  of  which  has  been  turned  over  to  the  License  Collector  and  the 
other  half  to  the  Treasurer  of  the  Charitable  Fund  of  the  Fire  Department, 
and  receipts  taken  for  the  same  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Fire 
Wardens. 

BECOMMENDA1IONS. 

I  again  renew  my  recommendation  for  a  full  paid  Fire  Department,  at 
least  in  the  business  portion  of  the  city. 

The  experience  of  Seattle,  W.  T.,  Durango,  Col.,  Hailey,  I.  T..  Ellens- 
burg,  W.  T..  Bakersfield,  Cal.,  and  Fresno,  Cal.,  should  be  a  sufficient  warn- 
ing to  this  city  of  the  necessity  of  increasing  the  Fire  Department. 

The  appropriation  for  the  ensuing  fiscal  year  is  the  same  amount  as  in 
1878,  and  I  can  say,  I  think  with  safely,  that  the  city  has  increased  during 
the  last  eleven  years  at  least  one-third  larger. 

The  Western  Addition  and  Commerfordville  has  lately  been  built  up  with 
fine  residences,  and  are  greatly  in  need  of  fire  protection,  but  the  appropria- 
tion of  money  for  salaries  of  the  Department  is  not  sufficient  to  pay  the 
present  force  of  the  Department  for  the  year. 


CHIEF  ENGINEER'S  REPORT.  163 

It  is  also  essentially  necessary  that  more  Hydrants  be  set  in  the  Western 
Addition,  Commerfordville  and  south  of  Market  street. 

The  fire  of  September  9th  last  proves  conclusively  that  the  appropriation 
for  running  expenses  and  material  should  be  increased  sufficiently  to  allow 
the  purchase  of  at  least  10,000  feet  of  Hose,  to  be  stored  in  the  Corporation 
Yard  in  case  of  a  large  conflagration. 

I  also  recommend  that  a  suitable  building  to  be  used  as  a  stable  be  erected 
on  some  lot  belonging  to  the  Department  for  the  keeping  of  relief  horses  and 
forage. 

The  stable  now  used  is  in  a  remote  part  of  the  city,  a  long  distance  from 
the  center,  and  requires  considerable  time  to  send  horses  or  forage  therefrom 
when  required  by  the  different  companies. 

I  suggest  that  the  stable  be  moved  and  the  building  be  altered  so  as  to  in- 
crease the  capacity  of  the  Repair  Shop,  where  all  work  necessary  for  the  re- 
pair of  the  apparatus  can  be  done  with  great  facility. 

In  closing  this  Report,  I  desire  to  tender  my  thanks  to  the  Honorable 
Board  of  Fire  Commissioners  for  the  active  interest  you  have  manifested  in 
all  matters  pertaining  to  the  success  of  the  Department,  and  I  desire  also  to 
thank  the  officers  and  members  of  the  force  for  the  alacrity  manifested  on  all 
occasions  in  complying  with  my  orders. 

I  also  desire  to  express  my  thanks  to  his  Honor  Mayor  Pond  and  the  Board 
Supervisors  for  the  interest  they  have  manifested  in  all  business  pertaining 
to  the  Department. 

To  the  Chief  of  Police  and  members  of  his  force,  to  Fire  Marshal  Charles 
Towe,  to  Captain  White  and  Lieutenant  O'Kell  of  the  Fire  Patrol,  and  to 
Superintendent  Rankin,  Fire  Alaxm  Telegraph,  I  am  under  many  obligations 
for  the  manner  in  which  they  have  assisted  the  Department  in  the  discharge 
of  their  duties  on  all  occasions. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

DAVID  SCANNELL, 

Chief  of  Fire  Department.

BATTEBIE3. 

There  are  now  in  use  202  gravity  cells,  150  electropoion,  13  Fuller  and 
7  Leclanche. 

WIRES. 

The  Department  is  now  operating  one  hundred  and  fifty-five  miles  of 
wire,  the  number  of  circuits  remaining  the  same  as  last  year — 13  signal,  7 
alarm  and  2  Tapper  circuits. 


EXTENSIONS. 


Both  Tapper  circuits  have  been  extended  and  changed  into  metallic  cir- 
cuits, thereby  giving  much  better  service.  Other  circuits  have  been  rempved 
from  housetops  and  placed  on  poles,  a  number  of  long  loops  have  been 
straightened  out,  and  the  work  of  overhauling  the  system  generally  and 
placing  it  in  first-class  condition  has  been  carried  on  as  rapidly  as  possible. 

There  is  still  much  work  to  be  done  before  winter.  Nearly  all  the  boxes 
and  many  poles  should  be  painted;  also  quite  a  number  of  unsound  poles 
replaced.  This  work  necessitates  the  employment  of  several  extra  men. 

I  would  recommend  that  the  repair  force  be  permanently  increased  by 
the  addition  of  one  man,  and  also  renew  my  recommendation  that  the  oper- 
atiag  force  be  increased  to  four  men.

REVIEW. 

There  was  pending  at  the  commencement  of  the  fiscal  year  (exclusive  of 
street  assessment  cases,  of  which  there  are  now  about  415  still  pending),  313 
cases  in  which  the  City  and  County  or  its  officers  were  parties.  Since  that 
time  94  new  cases  have  been  brought  against  the  City  and  its  officers.  In 
.  the  same  period  55  cases  have  been  tried  in  the  various  Courts,  four  of  which 
were  tried  by  special  counsel  on  behalf  of  the  City  and  County,  and  61  by 
myself.  Thirty-nine  of  the  cases  so  tried  by  me  were  decided  in  favor  of  the 
City  and  County,  and  10  decided  against  it.  Four  cases  were  settled  by 
order  of  Board  of  Supervisors,  and  two  dismissed. 

There  are  now  pending  in  the  various  Courts  352  cases  (exclusive  o 
street  assessment  casea),  of  which  those  involving  claims  againt  the  City  are 
as  follows: 

For  grading  streets,  etc '. $351,105  94 

For  damages  for  alleged  nuisances,  defective  sewers,  etc 259,639  44 

For  various  claims,  rents,  salaries,  etc 195,020  48 

For  the  destruction  of  property'  by  the  riot  of  1877 2,000  00 

The  remainder  are  principally  suits  to  quiet  title  to  lands,  etc. 

These  suits,  in  which  the  City  and  County  are  plaintiffs,  are  mostly  for 
the  recovery  of  lands  of  great  value,  held  in  adverse  possession;  also  for  the 
recovery  of  money,  etc. 

Tery  respectfully, 

GEORGE  FLOURNOY,  JB,,

HEALTH  OFFICER'S  REPORT. 


SAN  FBANCISCO,  July  1,  1889. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN:  I  have  the  honor  to  submit  to  you  my  report  of  the  trans- 
actions of  the  Health  Office  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1889: 

The  deaths  for  the  year  in  this  city  numbered  5,729,  against  6,036  for  the 
preceding  year.  Of  these  559  were  Chinese,  and  5,170  of  other  nationalities. 

Estimating  the  pdpulation  of  this  city  at  330,000,  the  death  rate  was  17.36 
per  1,000  inhabitants,  against  18.27  per  1,000  last  year. 

The  death  rate  amongst  the  Chinese  population  of  30,000  was  18,63 
per  1,000. 

Estimating  the  population  of  other  nationalities  at  300,000,  the  death  rate 
was  17.23  per  1,000. 

The  deaths  from  the  principal  diseases  were  as  follows:

The  following  items  of  interest,  and  transactions  of  importance  by  the 
Board  of  Health,  have  occurred  since  my  last  report  of  July  1,  1888: 


MEDICAL   INSPECTOBAT   HONGKONG. 


In  the  month  of  last  July  there  were  alarming  reports  of  the  prevalence 


HEALTH   OFFICER'S  REPORT.  325 

of  cholera  in  Hongkong  and  other  Chinese  ports.  Every  precaution  was 
taken  here,  and  the  city  was  fortunate  in  escaping  a  visitation  of  this  disease. 
In  view  of  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  trustworthy  information  from  China, 
the  Board  of  Health  passed  the  following  resolution : 

Resolved,  That  in  view  of  the  frequent  epidemicsjof  cholera  and  smallpox,  and  the  proba- 
bility that  cholera,  smallpox  and  typhous  fever  are  endemic  at  Hongkong  and  other  Chinese 
ports,  and  the  frequent  contradictions  and  total  unreliability  of  the  reports  received  by  us  in 
relation  to  the  existence  of  these  diseases,  that  the  Surgeon- General  of  the  U.  S.  Marine  Hos- 
pital Service  be  requested  to  appoint  and  maintain  a  Medical  Inspector  at  Hongkong,  whose 
sole  business  shall  be  to  report  on  the  existence  of  these  diseases. 

A  resolution  was  also  passed  ordering  "that  no  person  affected  with  any 
infectious  disease  shall  be  allowed  to  land  in  this  city." 

Correspondence  has  passed  between  the  Surgeon-General  and  this  office, 
but  so  far  nothing  has  been  accomplished  toward  the  appointment  of  an 
Inspector. 

WATEB   AT   NOBTH   BEACH   BATHS. 

In  August  there  was  much  discussion  in  the  press  as  to  the  reported  un- 
healthy condition  of  the  water  in  the  bathing  establishment  at  North  Beach. 
The  Board  caused  the  water  to  be  examined  by  exports,  who  reported  "  that 
there  was  nothing  injurious  in  the  water,  and  nothing  indicative  of  contami- 
nation that  would  be  in  the  least  degree  injurious  td  health  for  bathing 
purposes." 

DISEASED    CATTLE. 

In  October  Mr.  A.  S.  Mercer,  an  agent  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry, 
at  Washington,  reported  that  he  had  found  a  large  number  of  cattle  dying  of 
Texas  fever  in  the  Salinas  valley,  and  that  anthrax  was  prevalent  at  Gonzales 
and  in  other  parts  of  the  State.  The  Board  of  Health  at  once  appointed!  a 
Veterinary  Surgeon  and  two  additional  Market  Inspectors  "to  prevent  the 
importation  into,  and  sale  of,  diseased  meat  in  this  city."  Your  Honorable 
Body  kindly  co-operated  by  allowing  liberal  salaries  to  these  officials,  and' the 
result  has  been  the  condemnation  and  exclusion  of  large  numbers  of  diseased 
cattle  and  a  vigorous  application  of  sanitary  measuresln  the  slaughter-houses 
atButchertown.  I  have  found  the  butchers  quite  willing  to  assist  in  the 
-enforcement  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  of  Health,  and  consequently  the 
slaughter-houses  are  in  a  much  better  sanitary  condition  than  formerly,  and 
few  diseased  cattle  are  now  brought  to  the  city. 

TANNERIES. 

There  having  been  many  complaints  made  at  this  office  regarding  the 
tanneries  at  the  Mission,  the  Board  passed  a  resolution  "  that  the  floors  of 
these  tanneries  be  made  water-tight  and  be  coated  with  asphaltum  up  to  the 
edges  of  the  vats,  that  they  drain  directly  into  the  street  sewer,  and  that  the 
ground  under  the  floors  be  covered  with  six  inches  of  clean  sand."  This 
rule  was  carried  out,  and  there  have  been  no  further  complaints. 


326  HEALTH   OFFICER'S   REP  OUT1.. 

AMBULANCE. 

In  December,  at  the  request  of  the  Board  of  Health,  an  ambulance  was- 
furnished  by  your  Honorable  Board  for  the  purpose  of  transporting  persons 
injured  in  the  streets,  or  elsewhere,  to  their  homes  or  to  the  Receiving  Hos- 
pital for  treatment.  An  ambulance  service  has  long  been  a  pressing  need  in 
this  city,  and  I  trust  that  means  may  be  found  to  place  it  in  full  operation. 

BILL   FOB   ADDITIONAL   INSPECTORS. 

In  February  of  the  present  year,  at  the  instance  of  the  Board  of  Health, 
a  bill  was  introduced  into  the  Legislature  providing  for  additional  Health 
and  Market  Inspectors.  City  authorities  were  to  be  enabled  to  appoint  two 
Health  Inspectors  for  a  population  of  50,000,  and  one  for  each  35,000  in- 
habitants in  excess  of  50>000.  Also  one  Market  Inspector  for  50,000  inhabi- 
tants, and  one  for  each  40,000  in  excess  of  that  number.  This  bill,  however, 
failed  to  become  law. 

EISINFECTOB. 

The  apparatus  for  the  disinfection  of  clothing,  bedding,  etc.,  is  now 
ready  to  be  erected  at  the  City  and  County  Hospital,  or  in  some  other  fitting 
locality.  When  it  is  completed  articles  maybe  sent  from  houses  where  cases 
of  smallpox,  diphtheria  or  any  other  infectious  disease  may  have  occurred, 
and  returned  after  thorough  disinfection.  This  d.sinfector  will  fill  a  want 
long  felt  in  this  city,  where  the  clothing  and  bedding  of  patients  affected 
with  smallpox  have  been  frequently  destroyed  to  prevent  contagion,  thorough  , 
disinfection  not  being  possible. 

G ABB AGE. 

In  my  last  report  I  mentioned  the  dangers  that  might  occur  from  the 
practice  of  dumping  the  city's  garbage  at  the  foot  of  Sixth  street.  I  again 
strongly  recommend  that  steps  be  taken  toward  building  a  crematory,  or 
disposing  of  the  garbage  in  some  other  manner  than  that  now  in  use. 


The  sewerage  system  of  the  [city  is  being  vigorously  extended  by  the 
Street  Department.  The  Superintendent  of  Streets,  Mr.  Ashworth,  has  co- 
operated with  me  on  all  occasions  by  carrying  out  my  recommendations  for 
new  sewers.  A  great  improvement  is  visible  south  of  the  Mission,  where 
the  Boar  1  of  Health  has  been  particularly  active  in  enforcing  sanitary  reg- 
ulations. 

CHINESE    QUABTEB. 

Attention  has  also  been  paid  to  the  condition  of  the  Chinese  quarter. 
When  a  house  has  been  found  in  an  offensive  condition,  it  has  been  ordered 
vacated  until  thoroughly  cleaned,  whitened,  and  the  plumbing  and  drainage 
made  to  agree  with  the  regulations  of  the  Board  of  Health.  Twenty-three 
houses  have  been  treated  in  this  manner  in  Chinatown  this  year,  and  I 
believe  that  by  a  gradual  enforcement  of  these  rules  this  quarter  may  be 
placed  in  as  good  a  sanitary  condition  as  any  other  part  of  the  city.

On  July  1st  a  man  from  Bethany,  in  this  State,  came  to  the  city  with 
confluent  smallpox  and  died.  He  does  not  appear  to  have  infected  any  one, 
as  the  next  case  did  not  occur  until  August  22d,  also  a  man  from  the  country. 
Between  that  date  and  August  31st,  thirteen  cases  occurred;  in  September 
twenty-four  cases,  and  the  disease  was  then  more  or  less  prevalent  until 
February  1st,  when  it  appeared  to  have  entirely  disappeared  from  the  city. 
In  March  more  cases  began  to  come  in  from  the  country.  On  the  4th,  one 
from  Marin  county;  on  the  16th,  one  from  Portland;  on  the  24th,  one  from 
Sacramento.  In  April  there  was  one  case,  direct  from  Colorado.  In  May 
three  cases  occurred — on  the  3d  that  of  a  man  who  had  been  handling  sugar 
on  a  foreign  vessel,  and  two  cases  from  the  country,  one  on  the  4th  and  one 
on  the  27th.  With«regard  to  this  last  case,  when  the  case  was  discovered 
the  man  was  nearly  well.  He  had  been  in  the  city  a  week,  living  in  a  crowded 
lodging-house,  daily  walking  the  streets  and  mingling  with  the  people.  No 
evil  results  seem  to  have  occurred.  There  have  been  no  new  cases  of  small- 
pox, and  it  either  shows  that  vaccination  is  very  general  or  that  climatic 
conditions  are  not  at  present  favorable  to  the  spread  of  the  disease.

CITY  PHYSICIAN'S  REPORT. 


SAN  FBANCISCO,  July  15,  1889. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN:  Under  the  provisions  of  the  law  (Resolution  2213,  Third 
Series),  it  becomes  my  duty  and  pleasure  to  submit  my  repoit  for  the  fiscal 
year  ending  June  30,  1889,  which  I  herewith  enclose. 

The  County  Jail  is  in  a  very  good  hygienic  condition,  considering  its 
crowded  state.  The  number  of  prisoners  on  June  30,  1889,  was  193.  There 
are  very  few  patients  in  the  jail  at  present,  and  all  of  them  contracted  their 
ailments  prior  to  their  imprisonment.  The  diseases  are  mostly  venereal  and 
local. 

The  establishing  of  a  Receiving  Hospital  last  March,  by  your  Honorable 
Body,  filled  a  much  needed  want  of  the  City.  The  fitting  up  of  the  second 
floor  for  female  patients  is  a  necessity,  and  I  would  respectfully  request  the 
Board  to  give  this  matter  their  consideration.  I  would  also  request  the 
Board  to  furnish  the  necessary  surgical  instruments  and  appliances,  as  it  is 
quite  impossible  to  do  the  work  properly  without  them.  The  small  sum  of 
$350  will,  I  think,  purchase  all  that  is  absolutely  needed. 

During  the  six  months  ending  June  30,  1889,  th?re  were  1,026  cases  at- 
tended at  the  County  Jail,  and  378  indigent  poor  prescribed  for. 

It  appears  that  from  June  30,  1888,  to  December  31,  1888,  no  record  was 
kept  nor  reports  made  of  the  cases  attended  at  the  County  Jail  and  those  of 
the  indigent  poor  by  Dr.  Blach,  who  occupied  the  position  of  City  Physician 
during  that  time. 

The  number  of  cases  treated  at  the  Receiving  Hospital  and  City  Prison 
during  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889,  was  4,394. 

I  enclose  the  report  of  the  Assistant  City  Physician. 
Respectfully, 

ROBERT  E.  WILLIAMS, 
City  Physician  and  Police  Surgeon.

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors

GENTLEMEN:    I  have  the  honor  of   presenting  for  your  consideration  my 
annual  report  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1889: 

Of  the  several  societies  having  burial   plots  in   the   City  Cemetery,  there 
have  be<n  interr-d,  as  follows:

There  has  been  expended  for  head-boards $231  63 

I  would  respectfully  call  the  attention  of  your  Honorable  Body  to  the 
condition  of  the  fences  enclosing  the  cemetery.  In  places  they  are  worn  out 
and  down  so  much  that  cattle  have  free  access  to  the  cemetery.  I  invite 
your  particular  attention  to  the  Pioneer  plot.  The  fences  enclosing  the 
groun  Js  are  almost  entirely  gone,  and  the  plot  is  in  a  most  deplorable  c(indi- 
tion.  I  would  suggest  that  there  be  a  good  picket  fence  erected,  and  trees 
and  hedges  planted  around  the  plot,  and  there  be  a  general  renovation  of  the 
premises. 

Several  of  the  societies  who  have  been  granted  burial  plots  by  the  city  in 
the  City  Cemetery  have  neglected  the  same.  I  would  suggest  to  your  Hon- 
orable Body  that  in  justice  to  those  who  do  keep  their  grounds  in  order,  that 
the  others  be  required  to  do  the  same. 

The  books  containing  the  records  of  the  interments  and  disintermenta 
should  be  kept  in  a  safe  that  they  may  not  be  destroyed  by  fire.  The  cottage 
(in  which  is  the  office)  and  its  surroundings,  also  the  tank  and  pump,  are  very 
much  in  need  of  immediate  repairs. 

Very  respectfully, 

THOMAS  E.\GAB, 
Superintendent  of  City  and  County  Cemetery.

404  HOSPITAL  REPORT. 


APOTHECARY'S   REPORT. 


SAN  FBANCISCO,  July  26,  1889. 
DR.  J.  H.  HBALT,  Sup't  Physician  City  and  County  Hospital : 

DEAD  SIB:  I  herewith  submit  the  report  of  the  Drug  Department  for  the 
fiscal  year  ending  June  30th,  1889,  together  with  an  itemized  account  of  all 
surgical  instruments  purchased  during  the  year,  with  their  prices. 

I  also  submit  a  few  comments  on  the  condition  of  this  department  at  the 
time  of  assuming  charge  of  it,  July  1st  inst. 

In  handing  in  this,  my  first  report  of  the  Drug  Department  of  the 
Hospital,  I  deem  it  proper  to  acquaint  you  with  its  condition  at  the  time  of 
assuming  its  management,  and  beg  to  say  that  the  delay  in  placing  the  report 
in  your  hands  is  due  to  the  incomplete  condition  in  which  I  found  the  books 
and  accounts. 

Total  absence  of  any  kind  of  system  was  conspicuously  noticeable  all 
over  the  department;  all  the  rooms  being  in  great  disorder,  and  the  floors, 
walls,  counters,  tables,  shelves  and  cupboards  covered  with  dirt  and  filth. 

Many  drugs  and  chemicals  were  found  in  out-of-the-way  places  where 
their  existence  was  plainly  not  suspected. 

In  the  cellar  store-room,  a  place  entirely  unfitted  for  storage  of  perishable 
goods,  was  found  a  considerable  quantity  of  stock  more  or  less  injured,  a 
portion  being  entirely  unfit  for  use;  the  room  itself  being  unspeakably  filthy. 
In  all  my  experience  I  have  never  seen  Drugstore  or  Dispensary  in  such  a 
demoralized  condition. 

The  system  of  keeping  the  books  and  accounts  seems  to  me  to  have  been 
very  imperfect — the  one  in  use  not  even  being  adhered  to. 

I  am  glad  to  say  that  out  of  a  state  of  utter  chaos  is  coming  some  degree 
of  order;  the  work  being  greatly  retarded,  however,  by  a  lack  of  help,  my 
assistant,  Mr.  Day,  and  myself  doing  most  of  the  rough  work,  as  well  as  the 
manufacturing  at  intervals  when  not  not  pressed  with  regular  daily  work. 

Respectfully  yours, 

L.  C.  WAGNER, 

Apothecary.

The  appropriation  for  Almshouse  expenses  for  1888-89  was  $80,000. 
The  amount  paid  out  from  the  City  and  County  Treasury  was  $77,302.88; 
consequently  there  was  a  surplus  of  $2,697.12  remaining  at  the  close  of  the 
fiscal  year. 

The  past  year  has  served  to  confirm  the  impression   I   have   previously 


440  ALMSHOUSE  REPORT. 

expressed,  that  the  number  of  inmates  drifting  to  the  Almshouse  will  steadily 
increase  from  year  to  year,  owing  principally  to  the  fact  that  -the  City  and 
County  Hospital  transfers  all  its  incurable  convalescents  to  the  Institution . 
Most  of  these  people  are  paralytics,  cripples  or  consumptives,  who  come  to 
remain.  They  are  unable  to  do  any  kind  of  work,  many  of  them  being 
perfectly  helpless. 

All  the  inmates,  both  male  and  female,  who  were  capable  of  work,  have 
been  employed,  their  labor  being  utilized  wherever  it  would  be  most  useful; 
mechanics  at  their  trades,  and  others  on  the  farm,  in  the  gardens,  bakery, 
laundry,  stables,  dining-rooms,  etc,,  etc.  The  female  inmates  have  as  usual 
been  employed  in  the  sewing-room,  or  scrubbing  floors,  washing,  house- 
cleaning,  etc.,  all  able  to  work  doing  something. 

The  roads  in  the  neighborhood  have  been  kept  in  good  condition,  and  the 
buildings,  inside  and  out,  have  had  men  constantly  at  work  on  them,  paint- 
ing, whitening  and  repairing,  so  that  they  have  at  all  times  presented  a  neat 
and  attractive  appearance. 

The  sanitary  condition  of  the  buildings  has  been  a  subject  of  constant 
care  and  attention.  The  sewers  have  been  flushed  weekly  and  disinfectants 
used  at  all  times,  so  that  while  each  building  has  its  share  of  bad  cases, 
nothing  of  an  offensive  nature  has  been  experienced. 

The  crops  on  the  farm  this  season  have  not  been  a  success,  owing  to  the 
blight  which  periodically  visits  this  locality  having  attacked  the  potatoes 
when  half -grown,  and  the  prolonged  foggy  weather  preventing  the  oats  for 
hay  from  properly  heading  out  and  ripening.  Our  supply  of  milk  has  been 
up  to  the  requirements  of  the  Institution,  from  which  a  large  portion  of  the 
butter  used  has  been  made. 

Religious  services  have  continued  as  formerly,  nearly  every  denomination 
being  represented,  and  my  thanks  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  priesthood  of 
the  Mission  Dolores  Church  for  their  prompt  attention  to  the  spiritual  wel- 
fare of  the  Catholic  portion  of  the  inmates. 

My  thanks  are  also  due  to  Rev.  Mr.  Drummond  and  Rev.  W.  J.  O'Brien, 
of  the  Episcopal  Church,  also  to  Rev.  James  Campbell,  for  their  faithful  and 
unwearying  devotion  to  those  of  the  Protestant  faith.. 

My  grateful  acknowledgments  are  also  tendered  to  those  kind-hearted, 
thoughtful  citizens  who  have  from  time  to  time  furnished  reading  matter  for 
use  of  the  inmates.  They  are  too  numerous  to  name,  and  many  of  them 
unknown. 

My  thanks  are  also  due  to  all  who  helped  contribute  so  bountiful  a  sup- 
ply of  toys  and  candy  for  the  Almshou.se  children  at  Christmas.  In  this 
connection  I  wish  to  return  thanks  to  the  late  City  and  County  Grand  Jury, 
of  which  F.  S.  Chadbourne,  Esq.,  was  Chairman,  for  the  generous  donation 
of  $67  to  be  used  for  the  benefit  of  the  Almshouse  children . 

During  the  year  1888-89  I  have  received  from  the  State  under  the  "Act 
to  appropriate  money  for  support  of  aged  persons  in  indigent  circumstances, "" 


ALMSHOUSE  REPORT.  441 

the  sum  of  $31,699.68.  I  have  also  received  from  the  same  source,  under 
the  "Act  to  appropriate  money  for  support  of  orphan,  half-orphan  and 
abandoned  children,"  $1,546.05,  or  a  total  of  $33,245.73.  This  amount  has 
been  duly^paid  into  the  City  and  County  Treasury. 

The  total  amount  received  from  the  State  of  California  under  these  two 
acts  to  this  date  is  $170,138  63;  thus  relieving  the  tax-payers  of  the  City  and 
County  to  that  amount  on  account  of  Alnishouse  expenses. 

The  Auditor's  figures  give  the  amount  paid  out  of  the  City  and  County 
Treasury  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889,  on  account  of  the  Almshouse,  as 
$77,302.88;  deducting  therefrom  the  amount  I  have  returned  to  said  Treasury, 
received  from  sales  of  Almshouse  property,  viz:  $1,440.47,  and  $33,245.73 
received  from  the  State,  the  actual  depletion  of  the  City  and  County  Treas- 
ury on  account  of  Almshouse  expenses  has  been  $42,616.68. 

From  the  opening  of  the  Almshouse  to  the  present  time  11,231  inmates 
have  been  admitted  and  provided  with  a  comfortable  home  through  the  gen- 
erous charity  of  the  people  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco. 

Sincerely  thanking  your  Honorable  Body  and  the  Hospital  Committee  of 
the  Honorable  Board  of  Supervisors  for  your  and  their  kind  co-operation 
and  support,  this  report  is  most  respectfully  submitted. 

M.  J.  KEATING, 

Superintendent  City  and  County  Almshouse. 
San  Francisco,  July  1,  1889. 


REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  TRUSTEES 


San  Francisco  Free  Public  Library. 


To  the  Honorable  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  submit  to  your  honorable  body,  as  required  by  law, 
their  annual  report  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1889. 

It  is  very  gratifying  to  the  Trustees  to  be  able  to  say  that  the  Library 
committed  to  their  charge  has  made  during  the  past  year  very  marked  prog- 
ress, and  that  its  general  condition  is  now  much  better  than  at  any  previous 
period  of  its  history.  Its  utility  and  efficiency  as  a  factor  in  the  education 
and  enlightenment  of  the  people  are  constantly  increasing  and  becoming 
more  and  more  generally  recognized  and  appreciated. 

The  removal  of  the  Library  to  its  present  location  in  the  New  City  Hall 
was  a  most  wise  and  beneficial  step,  and  the  results  of  it  have  more  than 
justified  and  compensated  the  expenditure  of  money,  time  and  trouble  neces- 
sary to  bring  it  about.  It  has  put  the  books  in  a  place  of  almost  perfect 
security.  It  has  supplied  the  patrons  of  the  Library  with  better 
lighted  and  more  comfortable  reading-rooms;  and  it  has  made  the 
Library  more  accessible  to  those  for  whose  benefit  it  was  established.  The 
Librarian  reports  that  in  the  new  reading-rooms  there  are  fewer  idlers  than 
there  were  in  the  old,  and  a  larger  number  of  mechanics  and  students  of  the 
•useful  arts  and  trades. 

There  is,  however,  one  very  serious  deficiency  connected  with  the  present 
location  of  the  Library — a  deficiency  of  room.  There  is  not  room  enough  to 
place  all  the  books  at  a  convenient  elevation  so  as  to  be  readily  accessible. 
As  a  necessary  consequence  of  this,  many  valuable  works,  which  are  in  great 
demand,  are  on  shelves  so  high  above  the  main  floor  of  the  Library  as  to  im- 
pose severe  labor  upon  those  whose  duty  it  is  to  deliver  books  to  the  patrons, 
^ind  to  entail  vexatious  but  unavoidable  delay  in  the  service.  This,  it  will 
be  readily  perceived,  is  no  slight  impediment  to  the  efficiency  of  the  Library. 

As  has  been  shown  in  previous  reports  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  to  your 
predecessors  in  office,  San  Francisco  has  always  lagged  behind  other  cities  in 
the  United  States  in  the  financial  support  given  to  her  Free  Public  Library. 
Many  far  smaller  cities  have  regularly  made  annual  appropriations  twice  as 
large  as  those  of  San  Francisco  for  the  support  of  their  free  libraries.  And

yet  there  is  perhaps  no  city  in  the  Union  in  which  the  advantages  of  such  an 
institution  are  more  keenly  appreciated  or  more  eagerly  sought  by  the  people 
than  in  this,  all  things  considered.  It  is  difficult  to  account  for  or  excuse 
this  unwise  parsimony.  The  public  press  of  the  city  has  uniformly  favored 
liberal  appropriations  for  this  library.  The  people  demand  them.  The  city 
is  abundantly  able  to  afford  them.  The  Library  needs  them,  needs  them 
sorely.  And  yet,  to  our  shame  be  it  said,  they  have  not  been  forthcoming. 

The  present  Board  of  Supervisors,  however,  has  this  year  shown  a  mani- 
fest and  very  commendable  disposition  to  pursue  a  more  liberal  policy  toward 
this  most  important  and  most  deserving  institution,  and  this  policy  has  been 
very  efficiently  and  warmly  supported  by  Mr.  Auditor  Strother,  whose  ap- 
preciation of  the  Library  and  of  its  value  to  all  classes  of  our  people  has  been 
constant  and  practical. 

,For  several  years  the  appropriation  for  the  Library  has  been  so  small  that 
barely  enough  was  given  for  the  necessary  and  ordinary  expenses.  The 
Trustees  have  not  been  able  to  purchase  books  to  any  extent,  and  have  not 
been  able  to  keep  up  with  the  important  publications  of  the  day  even  in  the 
mechanical  arts,  to  say  nothing  of  those  in  literature  and  the  other  arts  and 
sciences—  although  perhaps  in  no  other  period  of  the  world's  history  have 
there  been  such  important  investigations,  developments  and  discoveries  in 
the  arts  and  sciences.  It  is  of  the  greatest  importance  that  the  student,  the 
mechanic  and  the  artisan  of  to-day  should  have  in  our  Library,  ready  to  his 
hand  and  available  to  his  use,  the  latest  publications  upon  the  subject  which 
is  connected  with  his  own  individual  success  in  life.  If  this  is  to  be  accom- 
plished and  our  Library  is  to  have  the  same  efficiency  as  other  public  libraries 
in  other  cities  of  the  country,  the  appropriations  must  still  be  considerably 
increased  to  correspond  with  what  other  cities  are  doing.  This,  we  feel 
assured,  will  ultimately  be  done.  It  will  be  but  bare  justice  to  the  toiling 
but  bookless  thousands  whose  labor  has  been  and  ever  will  be  the  potent 
force  in  creating  the  wealth  of  this  great  city. 

That  the  Library  has  urgent  needs  ought  not  to  be  misunderstood.  There 
are  many  broken  sets  of  valuable  works  and  many  sets  entirely  wanting. 
Some  important  branches  of  literature  are  meagerly  represented,  and  there 
are  serious  deficiencies  in  all  branches.  These  we  we  will,  at  the  proper 
time,  ask  your  honorable  body  to  supply  so  far  as  you  are  able  to  appro- 
priate the  necessary  funds. 

It  gives  us  pleasure  to  praise  the  ability,  great  industry,  and  uniform 
courtesy  and  good  nature  in  dealing  with  the  public  of  our  Librarian,  and 
the  general  efficiency,  good  conduct  and  fidelity  of  all  pur  assistants  and 
employes. 

The  verified  financial  exhibit  of  the  Secretary,  the  list  of  gifts  to  the 
Library  for  the  year,  and  the  Librarian's  report,  with  its  various  appendixes, 
are  herewith  submitted  and  respectfully  commended  to  the  attention  of  your 
honorable  body. 

THOS.  B.  BISHOP, 

By  order  of  the  Board.  President .

THE  FREE  PUBLIC  LIBRARY,  449 

ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  LIBRARIAN. 

To  the  Trustees  of  the  Free  Public  Library.- 

'.  GENTLEMEN:  I  have  the  honor  to  submit  my  report  for  the  year  ending  June  30, 1889,  with 
appendixes  of  statistics.  Our  rooms  in  the  New  City  Hall  have  proved  attractive  to  a  very 
desirable  class  of  readers ;  there  being  few  idlers  among  them,  and  an  increased  number  of 
mechanics  and  students  of  the  useful  arts  and  trades. 

The  Supplementary  Catalogue  (No.  5),  the  manuscript  of  which  was  reported  to  you,  a  year 
ago,  as  ready  for  the  printer,  has  been  published,  and  the  general  commendation  accorded  it 
not  only  justifies  the  departure,  but  incites  to  further  effort  on  like  lines  of  improvement.  The 
encouragement  comes  timely,  for  we  have  now  before  us  the  task  of  re-cataloguing  the  volumes 
in  the  Library  not  entered  in  the  supplementary  work,  together  with  such  volumes  as  shall  be 
purchased  before  Catalogue  No.  6  goes  to  press.  This  purchase  should  be  liberal  and  made  im- 
mediately, for  without  an  early  expenditure  that  shall  complete  our  many  broken  sets  and 
supply  the  serious  deficencies  of  our  various  departments,  the  publication  of  so  tedious  and 
costly  a  work  will  be  a  waste  of  time  and  money.  For  several  years  past  the  additions  to  the 
Library,  as  you  are  well  aware,  have  been  very  few.  In  plain  truth,  we  have  not  books  enough 
to  justify  the  preparation  of  a  first-class  catalogue,  and  a  second-class  catalogue  is  rarely,  if  ever, 
justifiable.  As  shown  in  the  figures  of  my  report  last  year,  the  number  of  volumes  in  the 
Library  was  much  less  than  previous  figures  indicated.  The  number  by  count  last  year,  ex- 
elusive  of  pamphlets,  was  49,475.  But  of  these  12,052  were  duplicates;  so  that  the  number  of 
volumes,  exclusive  of  both  pamphlets  and  duplicates,  was  only  37,423.  To  this  small  number 
we  have  added  during  the  year  3,364  volnmes  and  1,832  pamphlets  (1,417  volumes  and  1,741 
pamphlets  being  gifts),  so  that  the  present  showing  in  bound  volumes  is  40,787.  These  figures, 
for  the  Public  Library  of  a  rich  city  of  at  least  300,000  inhabitants,  are,  perhaps,  argument 
enough  in  themselves  for  an  immediate  and  liberal  purchase  of  books.  Were  it  not  that  the 
old  catalogues  will  be  worn  out  by  the  time  a  new  one  can  be  issued,  imperfect  as  the  old 
catalogues  are,  it  would  be  better  to  hold  to  them  for  several  years  yet.  However,  the  old 
catalogues  will  soon  be  gone,  and  a  new  catalogue  must  be  made ;  a  new  one,  certainly  not 
inferior  in  workmanship  to  the  supplementary  work  just  published.  This  means  a  large  outlay, 
which,  as  the  vigilant  President  of  the  Book  Committee  has  so  often  stated,  can  be  made 
economical  only  by  a  large  purchase  of  books  before  the  catalogue  copy  is  begun.  At  an  early 
date  I  shall  have  the  honor  to  lay  before  you  details  concerning  the  new  catalogue  which  I 
deem  of  first  importance  in  the  work  of  the  coming  year,  and  for  which  there  is  not  space  in 
this  report. 

Our  appropriation— thanks  to  an  auspicious  awakening  of  interest  in  the  Library — has  been 
again  increased;  incidental  expenses  will  be  less  this  year  than  heretofore;  the  purchase  recom- 
mended is,  therefore,  possible,  needing  only  your  approval. 

One  hundred  dollars  per  month,  and  that  format  six  months,  was  all  at  your  disposal  at 
any  time  during  the  past  year  for  the  purchase  of  current  publications,  and  for  such  purchases 
as  must  be  made  without  delay  if  the  Library  would  take  advantage  of  special  offers  of  books 
at  low  prices.  I  would  suggest  an  increase  of  the  monthly  allowance  for  this  purpose. 

But  the  purchase  of  books  is  not  all;  room  must  be  made  for  them,  as  well  as  for  our 
readers.  The  internal  working  of  the  Library  is,  perhaps,  as  satisfactory  as  it  can  be  in  our 
present  rooms,  which  necessitate  the  placing  of  the  books  so  high,  up  so  many  stairs,  and  so 
far  away  from  the  delivery  desk,  that  the  physical  labor  of  bringing  them  down  is  altogether 
too  great.  It  causes  delay  in  delivery,  and  is  a  hardship  for  the  strongest  boys  in  the  messen- 
ger service. 

Provision  being  made  for  room  and  books,  sufficient  skilled  labor  must  be  employed  to 
make  a  full  and  ready  exhibit  of  the  contents  of  the  books.  Whatever  expenditure  be  made 
for  books  and  room,  it  will  avail  little  if  there  be  lacking  a  sufficient  and  permanent  cataloguing 
force. 

The  quiet  behavior  and  the  studious  habits  'of  the  public  that  visit  our  rooms  froni  day  to 
day— not  to  speak  of  the  work  of  the  three  branches — point  to  the  splendid  possibilities  before 
the  Library  as  a  factor  of  culture;  and  I  must  not  omit  to  express  full  confidence  that  the 
earnest  and  well  directed  efforts  of  your  honorable  body  are  destined  to  achieve  their  merited 
success  Respectfully,  J.  V.  CHENEY,  Librarian.

San  Francisco  Law  Library. 


SAN  FBANCISCO,  July  1,  1889. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN:  Herewith  the  Librarian  of  the  San  Francisco  Law  Library 
has  the  honor  to  submit  his  report  in  behalf  of  that  institution  ending  this 
day. 

The  membership  numbers: 

Shareholders 243 

Subscribers 21

Our  accessions  have  been  almost  exclusively  of  a  purely  legal  character; 
but  very  few  works  of  a  general  nature  have  been  added.  In  the  matter  of

Our  registered  volumes  now  number  27,529.  Of  these  796  were  added 
since  last  report.  Of  this  number  541  were  acquired  by  purchase,  35  by 
gift,  find  113  were  periodicals  bound  and  107  were  records  of  the  Supreme 
Court  bound.  The  following  lists  give  an  idea  of  the  character  of  the  books:

Industrial  School  Report. 


To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco : 

GENTLEMEN.  In  compliance  with  Resolution  No.  2213  (Third  Series)  of 
your  Honorable  Board,  I  hereby  submit  my  annual  report  of  the  City  and 
County  Industrial  School  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889. 

Having  but  recently  assumed  charge  of  this  institution,  I  cannot  speak 
with  particular  exactness  of 'the -work  done  by  my  predecessor  during  the 
fiscal  year  just  ended.  For  information  relating  thereto  I  am  compelled  to 
rely  almost  entirely  upon  the  statements  of  the  officers  and  the  books  of  the 
institution. 

I  found,  when  entering  upon  the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  Superintend- 
ent on  June  15,  1889,  that  the  buildings  were  in  a  sad  state  of  decay,  and  as 
far  as  I  could  judge  no  effort  had  been  made  to  place  the  same  in  a  proper 
state  of  repair,  the  plumbing  being  very  defective,  the  floors  of  many  of  the 
work-houses  in  a  deplorable  condition,  the  kitchen  and  dining-rooms  de- 
pleted of  many  indispensable  utensils,  the  kitchen  range  and  baker's  oven 
so  badly  used  up  that  it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  they  be  put  into  imme- 
diate repair  or  entirely  replaced — the  latter  I  would  recommend  as  being  the 
better  and  in  the  end  the  cheaper  course  to  pursue . 

The  vegetable  garden  I  found  to  be  wanting  in  many  necessary  products 
of  daily  use.  This  we  have  taken  immediate  steps  to  rectify. 

The  farm  has  yielded  a  fair  crop  of  hay,  a  fraction  over  forty-five  ^45) 
tons.  As  for  the  potato  crop,  if  that  portion  remaining  ungathered  is  to  be 
judged  by  that  already  taken  from  the  ground,  the  yield  will  fall  far  short 
of  what  will  oe  necessary  for  the  next  year's  supply. 

The  horses  belonging  to  the  School  are  horses  which  formerly  belonged  to 
the  Fire  Department,  and  were  condemned  as  unfit  for  that  use.  They  are 
nearly  worthless  for  continuous  labor  around  the  School.  We  are  entirely 
without  a  horse  fit  for  buggy  use. 

The  buildings  and  surrounding  fence  are  so  old  and  have  evidently  been 
allowed  to  go  to  decay,  that  it  would  require  a  great  expenditure  of  money 
to  put  them  in  anything  like  proper  repair;  so  much,  in  fact,  that  I  would 
not  dare  make  an  estimate  thereon.  So  far  as  the  appropriation  will  allow  I 
shall  endeavor  to  repair  the  most  needed  portions . 


458  INDUSTRIAL  SCHOOL  EEPOET. 

The  boys  attending  school  I  find  to  bo  as  far  advanced  in  their  studies  as 
<jould  be  expected  from  boys  placed  in  a  similar  position. 

The  defects  and  dilapidated  condition  of  the  buildings  had  received  the 
serious  consideration  of  Mr.  W.  H.  Harrison  during  his  short  term  as  acting 
Superintendent.  He  had  planned  numerous  repairs  and  improvements,  and 
had  actually  entered  upon  the  work  with  a  zeal  and  spirit  that,  if  carried  to 
xi  successful  issue,  will  result  in  great  benefit  to  the  inmates  and  property. 
All  of  which  I  most  heartily  approve.  This  work"  will  not  only  be  of  direct 
benefit  to  the  institution,  but  during  its  prosecution  it  furnishes  the  boys 
with  constant  occupation,  thereby  engaging  their  minds  and  imparting  to 
them  a  mechanical  knowledge  which  may,  if  they  elect  to  lead  honest  lives 
on  their  release,  be  of  inestimable  value  to  them. 

The  unsightly  mound  of  earth  in  the  rear  of  the  building  is  being  re- 
moved, and  in  its  stead  we  contemplate  having  the  recreation  grounds  of  the 
school. 

The  front  yards  are  being  terraced,  and  it  is  pioposed  to  lay  the  same  out 
in  grass  plots  and  flower  beds. 

A  front  entrance  will  be  made  immediately  opposite  the  front  door  of  the 
building. 

The  inmates  have  enjoyed  the  best  of  health,  and  save  the  ordinary  indis- 
positions of  boyhood  no  complaints  have  been  made. 

The  boys  employed  in  the  shoe  and  tailor  shops  and  in  the  sewing-room 
have  taken  great  interest  in  their  work,  and  acquired  a  knowledge  in  their 
respective  branches  which  will  enable  them  if  they  choose  to  profit  by  it  to 
•earn  an  honest  livelihood  in  the  world. 

Mr.  Oratizio  Papallardo,  instructor  of  music,  has  brought  the  boys  in  his 
department  to  a  wonderful  degree  of  proficiency,  beginning  at  the  rudiments 
of  music,  and  thereby  planting  in  their  minds  such  a  knowledge  of  the  di- 
vine art  that  in  the  future  they  will  always  have  something  to  fall  back  upon 
when  all  else  fails.  The  Professor,  however,  labors  under  the  great  disad- 
vantage of  not  having  proper  instruments,  those  used  by  him  having  been  in 
constant  use  for  years  and  are  in  a  sad  condition. 

In  my  weekly  visits  to  the  Magdalen  Asylum  I  have  found  that  which  has 
ever  been  found  in  that  institution,  that  the  care  of  and  interest  taken  in  the 
girls  confided  to  the  Sisters  of  Mercy  has  won  for  those  most  excellent  ladies 
the  esteem  of  the  girls.  That  the  Sisters  have  and  are  doing  all  that  the 
most  exacting  could  wish  to  lead  those  under  their  charge  to  a  complete 
reformation  of  their  lives. 

I  seize  this  opportunity  of  expressing  to  Hon.  John  Foley,  Superintend- 
ent of  the  House  of  Correction,  my  appreciation  of  his  many  courtesies  ex- 
tended to  this  institution,  he  having  tendered  to  us  the  service  of  skilled 
mechanics  confined  in  that  institution,  thereby  enabling  us  at  a  small  ex- 
pense to  effect  many  repairs  in  the  School. 

To  the  interest  taken  by  Dr.  S.  S.  Kahn,  the  Visiting  Physician,  in  the 
welfare  of  the  inmates,  it  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  give  my  testimony  and 
express  my  gratitude. 


INDUSTRIAL  SCHOOL  REPORT.  4&9 

The  inter*  st  taken  by  Supervisor  H.  C.  Bingham,  Chairman  of  the  Indus- 
trial School  Committee,  and  Supervisor  Pilster,  of  that  committee,  has  done 
much  to  advance  the  usefulness  of  the  school,  and  to  them  I  am  indebted 
for  much  valuable  counsel. 

To  Mr.  W.  H.  Harrison,  Assistant  Superintendent,  and  prior  to  my  as- 
suming charge  of  the  School,  Acting  Superintendent,  I  cannot  sufficiently 
express  my  gratitude  for  the  promptitude  with  which  ho  placed  his  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  institution,  its  details  and  all  relating  thereto,  at  my  dis- 
posal. I  am  greatly  indebted  to  him  for  much  valuable  advice. 

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-operation  in  the  future  as  in  the 
past. 

Trusting  that  our  labors  will  receive  the  approbation  of  your  Honorable 
Board,  this  report  is  respectfully  submitted. 

JOHN  E.  HAMILL, 

Superintendent.

No  session  of  school  is  held  on  Saturday,  on  account  of  the  boys  being 
employed  bathing  and  cleaning  school  building.  Their  clothing  and  shoes 
are  inspected  Saturday  afternoon,  and  the  necessary  repairs  made.  The 
boys  are  occupied  reading  miscellaneous  works  from  the  library  on  Saturday 
and  Sunday  evenings. 


MUSIC. 

The  number  of  boys  in  the  band  ranges  from  ten  to  fourteen.  Mr. 
Oratizio  Papallardo,  the  leader  of  the  band,  has  been  employed  during  the 
past  year  instructing  boys  in  this  peculiar  study.  It  requires  a  great  deal  of 
patience  and  perseverance  on  the  part  of  the  teacher  to  qualify  boys  for 
playing  their  respective  instruments.  His  pupils  have  manifested  a  lively 
interest  in  the  study  of  music.  Man  is  a  social  creature,  and  to  fit  him  for 
mingling  with  his  fellows  it  is  necessary  to  educate  his  affections;  for  all — 
whether  old  or  young — the  practice  of  vocal  or  instrumental  music  will  be 
found  the  most  influential  agent  for  exerting  a  restraining  and  elevating 
influence  over  their  lives. 


474  INDUSTRIAL  SCHOOL  REPORT. 


GENERAL  REMARKS. 

We  find  the  great  mass  of  prisoners  in  our  penal  institutions  are  illiterate. 
This  being  true,  we  should  try  and  educate  the  juvenile  delinquents  and 
prevent  them  from  becoming  full-fledged  criminals.  It  is  necessary  to  try 
and  develop  the  physical,  moral  and  intellectual  natures  if  we  are  to  prevent 
them  from  leading  criminal  lives.  The  object  of  this  institution  should  be 
to  teach  that  which  is  useful  and  practical;  something  that  will  benefit  them 
when  they  leave  here  and  again  mingle  with  the  world.  A  large  percentage 
of  the  boys  committed  to  this  institution  do  not  attend  school  when  at  home. 
If  they  are  to  acquire  the  rudiments  of  an  education  they  must  obtain  it 
when  they  are  here.  Too  much  praise  cannot  be  accorded  the  boys  for  their 
good  deportment  during  the  past  year.  They  have  manifested  much  interest 
in  their  studies.  Many  of  them  will  doubtless  become  useful  members  of 
society  if  they  receive  proper  encouragement  from  their  parents  or  guardians 
when  they  return  home.  It  is  next  to  impossible  to  reform  a  boy  when  ne 
is  permitted  to  return  to  his  evil  companions.  Whenever  the  boys  have  an 
opportunity  they  have  manifested  a  desire  to  read  miscellaneous  books  from 
the  library.  When  they  once  acquire  a  taste  for  reading  good  books,  they 
will  not  desire  to  read  trashy  novels.  The  reading  habit  once  formed  will 
never  be  abandoned.  If  a  boy  will  spend  his  leisure  moments  in  the  Free 
Library  when  he  returns  to  the  city,  there  is  little  danger  that  he  will  return 
to  his  former  mode  of  life.  The  assistant  teachers  in  the  employ  of  the 
School  have  labored  faithfully  in  the  performance  of  their  respective  duties. 
The  boys  receive  religious  and  moral  instruction  Sundays  from  priests, 
^sisters  of  charity  and  Protestant  ministers. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

JOHN  A.  WRIGHT, 

Principal  Teacher. 
June  30,  1889.

GENERAL  REMARKS. 

The  foregoing  detailed  tabulated  statements  present  transactions  of  the 
House  of  Correction  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1889,  and  I  trust 
that  the  conclusions  arrived,  at  will  meet  with  your  approval. 

During  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889,  1,145  prisoners  were  committed; 
there  were  discharged  1,059,  leaving  on  hand  298  as  against  206  on  June.30, 
1888,  making  an  increase  of  92  for  the  year.  This  gain  is  to  some  extent 
caused  by  the  increase  of  population;  also  to  the  rapid  growth  of  the  opium 
and  morphine  evil  among  a  large  number  of  our  boys  and  young  men. 

As  shown  by  Exhibit  F,  out  of  1,145  prisoners  received  over  two-thirds  of 
the  number  were  for  vagrancy,  drunk  and  misdemeanor,  their  ages  running 
from  15  to  89,  there  being  over  fifty  between  60  and  89  years. 

I  again  respectfully  call  to  your  attention  that  many  of  these  old  people 
are  not  fit  subjects  for  this  institution.  A  large  number  of  them  are  feeble- 
minded, on  the  verge  of  imbecility,  and  others  are  proper  subjects  for  the 
Insane  Asylums,  Almshouse  and  Hospitals.  Many  of  them  are  serving  from 


HOUSE  OF  CORKECTION.  505 

their  twentieth  to  sixty-third  term,  in  fact  making  this  place  their   regular 
home,  while  their  only  crime  is  that  of  being  poor  and  homeless. 

In  Exhibit  O  will  be  found  a  full  and  comprehensive  statement  of  expen- 
ditures for  the  fiscal  year  as  follows:  Expenditures,  $42,033.88;  appropri- 
ation, $38,000;  leaving  a  deficiency  of  $4,033.88,  from  which  will  be  deducted 
$541.35,  being  cash  received  for  sale  of  pigs,  junk  and  maintenance  of  U.  S. 
prisoners  and  paid  into  the  City  and  County  Treasury  at  various  times, 
leaving  a  net  deficiency  of  $3,492.53. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  ration  account  for  the  month  of  July  only 
amounts  to  $282.85;  this  is  somewhat  misleading  until  explained;  the  actual 
ration  account  for  the  above  month  amounted  to  $1,487.92.  At  the  first  of 
July,  1888,  we  had  on  hand  contract  supplies  valued  at  $1,205.15,  which 
were  sold  to  contractor  and  amount  deducted  from  his  July  demand.  I  will 
also  state  that  at  the  yearly  settlement  with  the  contractor  for  supplies  due, 
overdrawn,  and  for  extras  furnished  during  the  year,  there  was  a  credit 
balance  due  us  of  $642.92,  which  amount  was  deducted  from  his  June  de- 
mand. There  was  remaining  on  hand  at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  unused 
contract  supplies  valued  at  $721.45,  which  will  be  sold  to  the  succeeding 
contractor,  making  a  saving  in  this  account  of  $1,365. 

By  careful  examination  of  Exhibit  O,  you  will  see  that  there  has  been  a 
large  reduction  in  the  various  expense  .accounts,  such  as  hardware,  black- 
smithing,  lumber,  paints,  etc.,  etc.  This  Exhibit  itself  speaks  for  the 
judicious  and  economical  management.  I  would  also  call  your  attention  to 
Exhibit  K,  which  shows  for  the  pbst  year  a  daily  average  of  261  prisoners, 
the  highest  for  the  past  nine  years.  The  cost  per  prisoner  a  day  for  actual 
maintenance  Was  44  29-100c.,  the  lowest  ever  attained. 


IMPROVEMENTS. 

During  the  past  year  many  permanent  improvements  have  been  made 
throughout  the  building  and  grounds.  The  remaining  waste  space  .in  the 
rotunda  has  been  divided  into  several  rooms,  with  wood  and  glass  parti- 
tions, which  makes  ample  room  for  the  various  shops,  with  the  prisoners 
constantly  under  the  eyes  of  the  guards.  The  entire  sewerage  and  drainage 
has  been  thoroughly  overhauled  and  repaired. 

The  building,  bath-house,  outside  shops,  fence  and  guard-house   have    all 
been  repainted*  and  present  a  very  neat  appearance. 

The  gardens  are  in  a  very  fine  condition;  several  new  and  elegant  de- 
signs have  been  added,  making  a  very  beautiful  appearance.  These  im- 
provements have  been  made  at  no  expense  to  the  city  except  for  material, 
the  labor  being  performed  entirely  by  the  inmates.  * 

While  on  this  subject  I  would  once  more  refer  to  the  necessity  of  re- 
placing the  present  rotten  and  dilapidated  wooden  fence  with  a  substantial 
brick  or  concrete  wall.  This  fence,  as  it  now  is,  requires  renewal  in  sections 
every  few  months,  and  will  in  a  few  years  prove  fully  as  costly  as  a  good 


506  REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  OF 

wall.     At  present  this  fence  is   not  in    any  way  ornamental    or  useful,  it 
being  in  no  way  a  safeguard  against  escape. 

OPIUM,  COCAINE  AND  MORPHINE. 

Under  the  head  of  Health  and  Sanitary  Condition  in  my  report  of  last 
year,  I  particularly  called  the  attention  of  your  Honorable  Body  to  the 
continued  increase  of  the  habit  of  using  opium  among  our  boys  arid  young 
men. 

It  is  with  much  pain  that  I  now  report  the  continued  increase  of  this 
evil  in  the  past  year,  added  with  another  even  more  deadly  and  horrible 
in  its  effects,  that  is  the  use  of  morphine  and  cocaine  hypodermically. 

A  large  percentage  of  the  prisoners  received  the  past  year  have  been 
addicted  to  one  or  the  other  or  both  of  these  vices — mostly  all  young  men 
or  boys.  They  arrive  the  most  dilapidated  physical  wrecks,  hardly  able 
to  drag  one  foot  after  the  other,  their  bodies  covered  with  injection  scars  and 
abscesses,  merely  skin  and  bones,  pallid  faces,  dull  and  heavy  eyes,  seeming 
with  only  one  object  in  life  and  that  to  procure  the  drug.  The  importance 
of  this  subject  cannot  be  too  strongly  dealt  with;  it  is  by  far  the  greatest 
evil  of  the  age;  every  citizen  of  the  State  should  feel  it  their  duty  to  do  all 
in  their  power  to  suppress  it.  There  comes  a  cry  from  heaven  for  the  sup- 
pression of  this  terrible  vice  which  foreshadows  a  future  too  horrible  to  be 
imagined.  It  should  strike  the  heart  of  every  mother  and  father  and  become 
so  impressed  upon  the  minds  of  the  people  in  general  that  perfect  warfare 
should  be  declared  against  it.  The  habit  when  once  acquired  seems  impos- 
sible to  be  broken  off,  uncomparable  with  any  known  disease. 

It  has  been  a  continual  problem  with  Dr.  Kahn  and  myself  as  to  the 
most  effectual  and  best  method  of  curing  these  poor  creatures  which  are 
under  my  charge.  Thus  far  in  our  experience  we  have  found  that  confine- 
ment with  a  small  allowance  of  the  prepared  drug,  decreasing  each  day  until 
finally  none  at  all,  will  render  the  patient  almost  free  from  the  terrible  appe- 
tite. We  have  some  very  striking  examples  here  at  present;  some  when 
received  weighing  less  than  100  pounds  and  after  a  confinement  of  ninety 
days  are  strong,  robust  and  healthy,  weighing  as  much  as  160  pounds, 
with  nearly  all  desire  for  this  terrible  drug  gone. 

I  find  this  class  of  prisoners  the  most  refractory.  They  are  physically 
unfit  for  any  manual  labor,  are  a  constant  cause  of  annoyance,  requiring  the 
utmost  vigilance  on  the  part  of  the  officers  and  guards,  also  an  extra  source 
of  expense  by  use  of  the  most  expensive  drugs  and  extra  nourishing  food. 

EMPLOYMENT  OF  PRISONERS. 

It  is  my  utmost  desire  that  all  who  are  committed  to  this  institution 
should  be  provided  with  some  kind  of  labor.  Employment  is  the  foundation. 


HOUSE  OF  CORRECTION.  507 

in  the  refoim  of  criminals.  By  such  methods  the  principles  of  industry  are 
taught  to  the  vagrant.  The  proper  employment  of  the  hands  have  equal 
influence  on  the  mind.  The  busy  prisoner  has  less  inclination  to  brood  over 
his  imprisonment  or  to  scheme  for  the  continuance  of  crime  upon  society 
when  released. 

No  greater  problem  has  ever  been  presented  to  the'people  of  our  Union 
than  that  of  prison  labor.  It  is  unquestionably  conceded  that  inmates  of 
our  prisons  must  work.  Idleness  would  be  a  crime  in  itself.  The  problem 
is,  how  shall  they  bo  employed  so  as  not  to  conflict  with  free  labor?  The 
object  of  imprisonment  is,  first,  to  protect  society  from  the  immoral  and 
illegal  acts  of  the  disorderly,  vicious  and  criminal  classes  by  their  confine- 
ment where  they  riiay  be  guarded  and  cared  for  at  a  minimum  expense. 
Second,  to  reform  them  while  prisoners,  that  they  maybe  worthy  of  freedom 
and  not  a  constant  menace  to  the  peace  of  the  public.  The  first — protection 
to  society — may  be  easily  secured.  Men  may  be  herded  in  prisons,  their 
physical  necessities  cared  for,  and  be  controlled  by  a  few  guards  with 
muskets  alone  for  aid.  But  reform  is  quite  another  thing;  the  process  to 
be  followed  is  not  imprisonment  alone,  but  manual  labor,  such  as  will  show 
an  actual  benefit.  A  term  of  imprisonment  should  bring  to  the  prisoner  a 
knowledge  that  crime  has  its  penalty  and  that  freedom  can  only  be  main- 
tained by  living  honestly  and  obeying  the  laws. 

During  the  past  year  the  inmates  have  performed  11,005  days'  labor  on 
the  County  roads  as  by  the  Labor  Exhibit.  In  this  time  with  the  force  at 
my  command  have  built  and  graded  over  seven  miles  of  County  road.  This 
work  has  been  of  the  greatest  value  to  the  County,  and  has  been  accom- 
plished at  a  nominal  expense,  such  extra  expense  as  tools,  powder  and  fuse 
and  the  employment  of  one  extra  guard  was  furnished  by  the  Superintendent 
of  Streets,  who  in  this  manner  gave  hearty  co-operation  for  which  I  feel 
greatly  indebted. 

The  work  that  has  been  accomplished  in  this  way  would  not  otherwise 
have  been  done,  as  the  expense  would  have  been  too  great  and  the  Treasury 
too  small. 

I  feel  justified  in  taking  pride  in  what  has  been  accomplished  in  this 
section  of  the  County,  and  feel  that  the  property-owners  on  these  roads  are 
much  indebted  to  this  mode  of  labor. 

The  work  of  the  present  year,  together  with  that  of  the  previous  years, 
has  made  a  large  section  of  these  roads  macadamized  and  perfect— specially 
adapted  for  pleasure  driving.  It  is  my  most  earnest  desire  to  continue  this 
work  until  all  of  the  outlying  roads  in  this  section  of  the  County  have  been 
brought  up  to  the  standard. 

A  large  percentage  of  the  misdemeanants,  drunks  and  vagrants  sent  here 
from  the  Police  Courts  furnish  the  very  best  material  for  this  kind  of  work, 
being  men  of  middle  age,  used  to  hard  work,  and  who  for  the  small  extra 
benefits  to  be  derived  from  diligent  labor,  perform  nearly  as  much  work, 


508  REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  OF 

hour  for  hour,  as  could  be  obtained.     With  more  of  this  kind   of   material, 
work  on  hand  and  contemplated  could  be  pushed  with  greater  vigor. 

A  large  number  of  the  unemployed  prisoners  could  be  used  to  a  good 
advantage  in  building  a  much  needed  brick  or  concrete  wall  around  the 
grounds.  We  have  the  proper  help,  with  the  best  soil  within  our  reach  for 
the  manufacture  of  bricks,  so  at  less  than  one-half  of  the  ordinary  expense 
we  could  have  a  brick  wall  that  could  not  be  surpassed  in  the  country. 
There  are  many  other  indus'ries  that  could  be  carried  on  in  outside  shops 
without  conflicting  with  free  labor,  and  thereby  be  a  ben<  fit  to  both  the 
institution  and  the  inmates.  I  trust  that  your  Honorable  Body  will  give 
particular  attention  to  this  part  of  my  recommendations. 

REFORMATION  OF  YOUNG  CRIMINALS. 

This  institution  was  intended  for  the  reform  of  the  erring  youth,  but 
under  the  present  system  it  fails  to  reach  the  proper  standard,  it  being  diffi- 
cult to  maintain  many  of  the  reformatory  necessities,  owing  to  the  limited 
means.  One  of  the  greatest  drawbacks  being  the  association  of  the  first 
offender  with  that  of  the  older  and  hardened  criminal  who  has  spent  many 
terms  in  prison. 

Out  of  the  number  committed  last  year,  over  sixty  were  serving  as  high 
as  their  fifth  and  sixth  term  for  petit  larceny.  This  class  of  criminals  belong 
in  the  Penitentiary.  They  are  incorrigible,  have  led  a  continuous  life  of 
crime  and  are  beyond  redemption,  demoralizing  other  inmates,  and  it  is  only 
a  waste  of  time  and  money  to  attempt  their  reform.  Fortunately  our  Code 
makes  a  second  crime  of  petit  larceny  a  felony,  and  I  would  call  particular 
attention  of  your  Honorable  Board  to  the  fact  of  such  confirmed  criminals 
being  sent  here.  Where  the  fault  lies  is  uncertain,  but  I  would  suggest  that 
some  action  be  taken  so  the  Judges  and  officers  will  not  be  imposed  upon  by 
this  class,  who  are  being  sent  out  here  as  first  offenders  while  they  are  in 
reality  "old-timers."  I  appreciate  the  fact  that  this  is  no  easy  matter,  as 
they  are  continually  changing  their  names,  but  I  believe  the  present  system 
can  be  improved  upon. 

The  class  of  first  offenders  who  are  guilty  of  felony,  and  are  consequently 
subject  to  the  Penitentiary  but  sent  to  this  institution  for  the  object  of 
reform,  are  becoming  largely  increased.  During  the  past  year  fifty  of  such 
prisoners  were  committed  here,  which  together  with  the  number  of  petit 
larceny  "repeaters"  discharged  and  committed  during  the  year  would 
amount  to,  165  whose  expense  should  be  borne  by  the  State.  These,  at  the 
rate  of  25  cents  a  day  each,  would  amount  to  about  $20,000  a  year,  which 
amount  should  be  derived  by  this  institution  for  their  care.  With  such 
additional  means  many  equipments  necessary  in  the  process  of  reform  could 
be  purchased  and  this  institution  brought  much  nearer  what  its  designers 
originally  intended — a  House  of  Reform. 

Notwithstanding  the  many  drawbacks,  and  in  the  face  of  opposition,  we

benefit. 

HEALTH  AND  SANITARY  CONDITION. 

It  is  with  much  pleasure  that  I  report  the  health  of  the  inmates  ex- 
ceptionally good. 

Only  one  death  during  the  year,  and  that  from  old  age. 

The  sanitary  condition  is  perfect.  "  Cleanliness  "  is  the  motto  through- 
out the  various  departments  of  the  institution. 

As  illustrated  by  the  "  Diet  Table,"  the  food  is  ample  in  quantity,  good 
in  quality,  and  is  specially  adapted  to  the  requirements  of  the  prisoners. 
The  ventilation  of  the  cells  conform  to  the  most  approved  priuciples.  As 
a  result  there  has  not  originated  in  the  institution  during  the  past  year  a 
single  case  of  the  so-called  preventable  diseases. 

When  it  is  taken  into  consideration  that  the  average  daily  number  of 
prisoners  has  been  261,  and  the  depraved  physical  condition  of  the  average 
inmate  is  considered,  this  showing  is  certainly  most  gratifying. 

I  can  bestow  all  praise  on  the  Visiting  Physician,  Dr.  S.  S.  Kahn,  for 
his  faithful  and  untiring  efforts,  always  ready  to  answer  to  our  call  at  any 
time,  day  or  night.  By  his  careful  diagnosis  of  all  the  cases  brought  to 
his  attention,  and  a  judicious  dispensing  of  necessary  medicines,  a  high 
standard  of  health  has  been  maintained. 

I  also  feel  grateful  to  both  the  retiring  and  the  present  Boards  of 
Health  for  their  kindness  and  courtesy. 


LIBRARY  AND  MORAL  INSTRUCTION. 

During  the  past  year  the  library  has  received  several  donations  of  some  of 
the  most  interesting  and  beneficial  works,  the  good  result  of  which  can  be 
seen  by  the  active  interest  taken  by  many  of  the  inmates  in  intellectual 
subjects.  The  library  now  has  over  500  volumes,  and  is  well  supplied  with 
pamphlets  and  Sunday  school  papers. 

My  most  sincere  thanks  are  due  to  the  late  Grand  Jury  for  their  kind 
donation  of  books,  particularly  Messrs.  F.  S.  Chadbourne,  Levi  Strauss  and 
Henerie;  also  Father  Kenna,  of  Jesuit  College,  and  The  Bancroft  Company, 

The  most  active  and  untiring  interest  has  been  taken  in  the  spiritual 
welfare  of  the  inmates,  regardless  of  creed,  by  Father  Kenna,  of  Jesuit  Col- 
lege, who  deserves  much  praise  for  his  noble  work,  much  good  having  been 
accomplished  by  him,  for  which  I  feel  greatly  indebted. 

The  Sisters,  Rev.  Mr.  Drummond  and  Mr.  O'Brien,  of  the  Episcopal 
Church,  have  also  worked  earnestly  for  the  benefit  of  the  inmates,  for  which 
they  have  my  most  heartfelt  thanks.  Church  service  and  Sunday  school 
had  heen  held  regularly. 


510  KEPOBT   OF  SUPERINTENDENT. 


DISCIPLINE. 

The  order  and  discipline  has  been  exceptionally  good,  better  than  any 
previous  year.  Very  little  punishment  inflicted.  When  inmates  obey  the 
orders  and  rules  they  are  treated  with  direful  consideration,  but  when  they 
show  no  regard  for  the  discipline  of  the  institution  they  are  treated  accord- 
ingly— severely  but  humanely. 

My  assistant,  Mr.  Geo.  Webb,  has  conducted  the  duties  of  his  office  in 
the  most  able  and  energetic  manner,  never  tiring  of  seconding  my  efforts  ^n 
interest  of  the  welfare  of  the  institution.  It  gives  me  great  pleasure  tc  also 
report  the  efficiency  of  all  of  the  officers  and  guards  of  the  institution.  They 
have  always  been  prompt  in  the  discharge  of  their  duties,  and  by  their  energy 
in  carrying  out  orders  have  materially  aided  me  in  bringing  this  institution 
up  to  its  present  excellent  condition.  My  work  has  also  been  greatly  facili- 
tated by  your  Honorable  Board,  who  have  individually  and  as  a  body  given 
me  your  confidence,  advice  and  most  hearty  support;  and  the  honorable 
Committee  on  Health,  Police  and  House  of  Correction,  under  whose  super- 
vision this  institution  is  conducted,  can  but  join  with  me  in  feeling  proud  of 
the  success  of  this  institution  during  the  past  year. 

My  most  sincere  and  heartfelt  thanks  are  due  to  his  honor,  the  Mayor, 
for  his  kindness  and  courtesy. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

JOHN  FOLEY, 
Superintendent  of  House  of  Correction.

REPORT 

OF  THE 

SUPERINTENDENT  OF  COMMON  SCHOOLS. 


To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN:  In  accordance  with  law,  I  have  the  honor  to  submit  here- 
with the  Thirty-sixth  Annual  Eeport  of  the  Superintendent  of  Common 
Schools  in  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  for  the  fiscal  year  ending 
June  30,  1889. 

Were  it  of  any  avail  we  would  make  an  extended  report,  setting  out  the 
virtues  and  the  defects  that  are  noticeable  in  our  Public  Schools.  Our  ob- 
servation, however,  both  as  a  teacher  in  our  schools  and  in  the  Superintend- 
ency  thereof,  has  led  us  to  the  inference  that  it  is  almost,  if  not  altogether, 
useless  to  do  more  than  merely  present  a  statement  of  the  more  important 
statistics  of  the  Department.  Considerations  of  economy,  therefore,  as  well 
as  the  fact  that  suggestions  made  in  previous  reports,  seem  to  have  had  little 
if  any  good  results,  induce  me  to  present  simply  the  following  as  prepared 
by  Mr.  George  Beanston,  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Education.

was  built  by  J.  H.  McKay,  contractor,  under  the  direction  of  Thos.  J.  Welsh,  architect.  The  con- 
tract price  was  $19,650;  architect's  fees,  $987.50;  total  cost,  $20,637.50.  On  October  22,  1888,  a  new 
school  was  opened  in  the  building,  with  eight  classes,  under  the  charge  of  Mrs.  N,  A.  Wood  as  Prin- 
cipal. Subsequently  it  was  found  that  the  accommodations  in  the  building  were  not  sufficient  for 
the  rapidly  increasing  neighborhood,  and  four  additional  rooms  were  made  in  the  basement  by  F.  A. 
Williams,  contractor,  under  the  supervision  of  Mr.  Welsh,  architect.  The  contract  price  for  the 
additional  work  was  $3,207;  architect's  fees,  $162.85;  total  cost  of  improvements,  $3,369.85.  The  cost 
of  the  building  as  it  now  stands  is  $24,007.85 

CLAY  STREET  PRIMARY  SCHOOL, 

Situated  on  Clay  street,  between  Walnut  and  Laurel  streets.  This  is  a  one  story  frame  building, 
containing  four  class-rooms.  It  was  erected  by  Messrs.  Brennan  Bros.,  contractors,  under  the 
supervision  of  Thos.  J.  Welsh,  architect.  The  contract  price  was  $6,750;  extra  work,  $115;  archi- 
tect's fees,  $337.50;  total  cost,  $7,202.50.  A  new  school,  with  four  classes,  was  opened  in  the  building 
January  7,  1889,  under  the  charge  of  Miss  Eliza  F.  Bartlett  as  Principal.

WATEE    FUENISHED     CITY    OF    SAN    FEANCISCO    BY    SPEING 
VALLEY  WATEE  CO.  FEOM  JUNE  30,  1888,  TO  JUNE  30,  1889. 

Each  public  building,  engine  house,  corporation  house  and  school  house 
is  rated  at  so  much  per  month  for  water  used.  Each  fire  hydrant  is  also 
charged  for  by  the  water  company. 

Numerous  complaints  have  been  made  at  this  office  by  water  consumers 
during  the  past  six  months  on  account  of  excessive  charge  by  the  water 
company  for  amount  of  water  used  in  excess  of  regular  allowance  as  per  rate 
established.  Upon  examination  and  a  test  of  the  meter,  in  most  cases  the 
meters  have  proven  correct,  the  waste  coming  from  defective  plumbing  or 
carelessness  in  allowing  water  valves  to  get  out  of  order .  The  only  sug- 
gestion I  would  offer  is  to  this  effect:  That  whenever  the  water  company's 
meter-takers  find  a  consumer  is  wasting  water  much  beyond  his  rate  of 
allowance,  they  should  immediately  report  of  such  waste  to  the  water  com- 
pany's office,  and  the  proper  official  having  this  in  charge  should  at  once 
notify  the  consumer,  and  not  wait  until  the  waste  has  gone  along  and  excess 
has  made  his  bill  200  or  300  per  cent,  more  than  his  rate.

REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES 


OF  THE 


Home  for  the  Care  of  the  Inebriate. 


To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  : 

GENTLEMEN:  The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Home  for  the  Care  of  the 
Inebriate  herewith  submit  their  report  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889. 

The  statistical  report  shows  the  number  of  patients  received "  and  under 
treatment  during  the  year,  and  classified  under  the  heads  of  Alcoholic  Ad- 
missions and  Insane  Admissions.  The  detailed  history  of  treatment  in  each 
case  is  recorded  in  the  register  of  the  Home  by  the  Superintendent. 

The  financial  statement  shows  all  the  moneys  received  during  the  year, 
also  the  disbursements  of  every  kind  per  vouchers  on  file,  and  the  cash 
balance  in  hands  of  Treasurer. 

The  recapitulation  of  assets  shows  the  balance  on  hand  at  last  annual 
report,  June  30,  1888;  also  the  amount  of  cash  and  dividends  received  during 
the  year,  and  the  total  amount  of  disbursements;  the  balance  is  the  cash 
assets  of  the  corporation  at  this  date.  No  appropriation  has  been  received 
from  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  for  the  months  of  April,  May 
and  June,  the  Clerks  of  the  Police  Courts  paying  the  money  into  the  City 
and  County  Treasurer,  according  to  their  interpretation  of  an  Act  of  the  last 
Legislature  amending  the  law  relating  to  the  Police  Courts  of  this  city.  It  is 
expected  that  your  Honorable  Body  will  take  such  action  as  will  secure  to 
the  Home  the  fines  and  forfeitures  for  the  months  above  named.  We  re- 
spectfully renew  our  standing  invitation  to  your  Honorable  Body  to  visit  our 
Home  and  examine  its  affairs  at  such  times  as  you  may  think  proper. 
Respectfully  submitted, 

By  order  of  the  Board, 

WM.  MARTIN, 

Secretary, 

San  Francisco,  July  24,  1889.

OF   THK 

CITY  AND  COUNTY  SURYEYOR. 


To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  : 

GENTLEMEN:  In  compliance  with  your  resolution,  No.  2213, 
(Third  Series)  I  have  the  honor  to  submit  the  following  report 
for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889. 

INTRODUCTORY. 

The  reports  from  this  office  during  the  past  two  years  have  been  of  great 
length.  This  has  been  caused  by  the  endeavor  to  put  into  available  shape  suoh 
information  filed  in  this  office  as  was  thought  to  be  of  use  and  interest,  and 
also  to  impress  upon  your  Honorable  Board  and  other  citizens  of  San  Fran- 
cisco the  necessity  of  making  many  improvements. 

I  regret  to  say  that  the  success  that  I  had  at  first  hoped  for  has  not  at- 
tended my  efforts  in  the  direction  of  remodeling  our  Public  Works,  but 
through  the  medium  of  an  energetic  Superintendent  of  Streets  great 
strides  have  been  made  in  improving  the  class  of  work  .done.  Many 
more  improvements  might  have  been  accomplished  were  it  not  for  a  public 
predjudice  against  new  and  in  favor  of  old  methods,  and  also  from  a  false 
economy.  This  last  feeling  is  especially  shown  in  a  lack  of  appreciation  of  the 
importance  of  the  remodeling  and  readjusting  of  the  city  surveys,  especially 
in  some  of  our  out-lying  districts  where  at  present  such  confusion  exists  that 
it  is  absolutely  impossible  to  make  an  accurate  survey,  but  these  especial 
points  will  be  touched  upon  under  their  proper  heads,  in  the  line  of  infor- 
mation for  general  use.  I  have  this  year  attached  as  an  appendix  to  this 
report  a  table  giving  the  names  of  streets  inside  the  city  (exclusive  of  the 
confused  homesteads  above  refered  to)  arranged  in  alphabetical  order  together 
with  their  widths,  areas,  etc.,  as  well  as* the  street  car  lines  running  on  them. 

STREET    IMPROVEMENTS,    EXTENSIONS,    ETC. 

So  much  has  been  published  in  our  newspapers  lately  upon  this  subject 
that  little  or  nothing  remains  to  be  added.  The  advisability  of  replacing  cob- 
bles by  basalt  blocks  or  bituminous  rock  is  too  apparent  not  to  be  ac- 
knowledged by  all,  but  I  will  respectfully  suggest  that  where  such  is  done  in 
the  future,  some  attention  should  be  paid  to  the  improvement  of  the  cross- 
section  of  the  street,  as  suggested  in  my  last  annual  report.  During  the 


568  CITY  AND  COUNTY  SUKVEYOK'S  REPORT. 

past  year  I  have  designed  a  system  of  sewerage  for  a  district  covering  from 
five  to  six  hundred  acres,  embracing  portions  of  the  Potrero  and  Mission. 
This,  I  venture  to  say,  is  about  the  only  district  in  San  Francisco  that  has  a 
thoroughly  designed  system,  and  where  any  attempt  has  been  made  to  carry 
out  the  details.  In  referring  to  this  matter  I  would  respectfully  call  the  at- 
tention of  your  Honorable  Body  to  a  point  in  this  connection  which  I  have 
spoken  of  before  your  committees,  namely,  the  necessity  of  opening  Potrero 
avenue  trom  the  old  line  of  Serpentine  avenue  through  to  Army  street.  This 
is  necessary  to  complete  the  drainage  system  referred  to,  as  there  is  no  other 
available  method  of  disposing  of  this  sewage,  and  as  it  at  present  will  dis- 
charge in  front  of  private  property.  Arrangements  cannot  be  made  too 
rapidly  for  its  accomplishment.  If  delays  should  become  necessary,  then 
some  temporary  arrangements  should  be  made  to  carry  off  said  sewage. 
There  are  two  of  our  large  drains,  the  Channel  and  Army  street  sewers,  that 
should  be  pushed  to  completion  without  delay.  The  former  has  an  outlet 
already  provided,  and  should  be  connected  therewith;  the  latter  should  be 
continued  down  Colusa  to  an  outlet  below  Kentucky  street,  but  upon  both  of 
these  subjects  I  treated  in  previous  reports. 

The  next  street  in  this  section  requiring  attention  is  Twenty-sixth,  which 
should  be  extended  a  few  hundred  feet  east  from  its  present  termination  to 
an  intersection  with  Potrero  avenue.  This  is  necessary  for  the  proper  com- 
pletion of  the  system  of  drains  designed  for  this  section.  There  are  many 
other  streets  that  could  be  extended  with  great  benefit  to  the  community,  but 
I  have  confined  myself  to  those  that  are  of  the  greatest  importance  to  the 
section  above  referred  to. 

STEEET    ENCBOACHMENTS. 

Called  upon  as  I  am  to  make  surveys  in  the  different  sections  of  the  city, 
both  for  street  improvements  and  the  establishment  of  the  lines  of  private 
property,  it  has  surprised  me  to  find  the  number  of  encroachments  that  have 
been  made  in  building  upon  the  different  streets.  These  amount  in  some 
instances  to  considerable  quantities,  and  it  seems  to  me  that  some  steps 
should  be  taken  by  your  Honorable  Body  to  prevent  this  in  the  future.  In 
looking  up  this  subject  I  find  in  the  report  of  George  C.  Potter,  City  and 
County  Surveyor  for  the  year  of  1866,  the  following:  "  I  wish  again  to  call 
the  attention  of  your  Honorable  Board  to  the  fact  that  at  present  there  is  no 
officer  whose  duty  it  is  to  see  that  no  encroachments  are  made  upon  our 
streets  by  the  erection  of  buildings." 

Here  appears  to  be  a  man  holding  this  office  many  years  ago  who  even 
then  saw  this  tendency,  which  now  has  assumed  considerable  proportions. 
He  also  suggests  a  method  of  preventing  this  abuse,  viz.:  by  the  appointment 
of  an  officer  whose  sole  duty  it  should  be  to  see  that  all  buildings  in  course 
of  erection  shall  be  clear  of  the  street  lines.  This  seems  to  me  a  good  sug- 
gestion, and  one  that  might  save  trouble  and  expense  in  the  future,  and  I 
should  suggest  to  your  Honorable  Body  the  consideration  of  this  subject. 


CITY  AND  COUNTY  SUKYEYOK'S  BEPOKT.  569 

DISINFECTOB. 

During  the  past  year  I  have,  under  the  direction  of  the  Health  Depart- 
ment, prepared  careful  plans  and  superintended  the  construction  of  a  steam 
disinfector  for  clothing,  bedding,  etc.,  to  be  erected  at  the  City  and  County 
Hospital.  The  idea  was  taken  from  some  cuts  which  appeared  in  an  English 
magazine,  and  I  believe  it  to  be  the  first  machine  of  the  kind  ever  built  in 
this  country.  This  machine  is  now  about  completed,  and  the  contractors 
are  only  awaiting  instructions  from  the  Honorable  Board  of  Health  for  its 
erection,  etc.  The  conception  of  this  is  due  to  our  ex-officer  of  health,  Dr. 
Barger,  who  together  with  myself  expect  it  to  prove  of  inestimable  benefit - 
A  detailed  description  of  this  machine  would  be  given  were  it  not  for  the 
space  occupied  by  the  tables  of  general  information. 

CONDITION  OF  OFFICIAL  EECOEDS. 

The  condition  of  the  records  of  this  office  was  deplorable  when  they  were 
turned  over  to  me  two  years  ago,  and  although  I  have  used  every  endeavor 
to  preserve  them,  they  have  gradually  (through  constant  handling  and  use) 
become  worse  and  worse  until  some  of  them  are  in  such  a  condition  as  to  be 
almost  useless,  the  maps  being  split  and  many  figures  obliterated  forever.  1 
have  in  every  annual  report  and  by  many  communications  during  the  year 
respectfully  called  the  attention  of  your  Honorable  Body  to  the  necessity  of 
providing  some  funds  out  of  which  to  pay  for  their  renewal,  but  owing  either 
to  a  want  of  means  or  to  a  non-appreciation  of  the  importance  of  doing  this, 
no  appropriation  has  been  made  until  the  last  tax  levy  was  prepared,  and 
then  only  two  thousand  ($2,000)  dollars  was  allowed  where  the  Auditor  had 
estimated  five  thousand  ($5,000)  dollars  for  the  same  purpose,  which  sum  I 
had  in  desperation  asked  for  as  the  least  amount  that  would  enable  me 
to  preserve  certain  maps  and  books  from  entire  destruction  during  the  coming 
year.  Before  passing  from  this  subject  I  must  call  your  attention  to  another 
important  feature,  and  that  is  the  confusion  that  exists  in  almost  all  of  our 
city  surveys.  There  is  almost  one-half  of  the  area  embraced  by  this  city  and 
county  where  this  office  does  not  dare  make  a  survey.  This  is  caused  by  the 
confusion  that  is  known  to  exist.  The  Surveyor  you  must  know  is  under- 
bonds  for  the  sum  of  ten  thousand  ($10,000)  dollars  in  order  to  guarantee 
that  the  work  he  does  is  correct.  . 

The  original  surveys  in  the  portions  of  the  city  to  which  I  refer  were  any- 
thing  but  accurate  and  are  generally  located  by  certain  land  marks  (or  calls, 
as  they  are  designated)  the  old  surveys  being  inaccurate,  (having  been  made 
when  a  few  feet  of  land  amounted  to  little  or  nothing)  there  remains  then 
nothing  to  guide  your  surveyor  but  the  land  marks,  and  as  these  are  rapidly 
disappearing  and  in  many  cases  were  originally  indefinite,  great  confusion 
must  neccessarily  exist,  these  circumstances  have  been  in  many  instances 
taken  advantage  of  by  irresponsible  outside  surveyors  who  have  caused  much 
additional  confusion  by  their  awkward  work,  and  bad  judgment,  causing 
owners  to  subdivide,  locate  streets  and  erect  buildings  in  improper  locations

CITY  AND  COUNTY  SURVEYOR'S  REPORT. 


I  would  also  call  your  attention  to  the  fact  that  for  more  than  ninteen  (19) 
years  no  official  map  of  the  city  and  county  has  been  compiled  and  thereby 
another  chance  of  correcting  some  of  these  errors  has  been  lost.  Owing  to 
these  things,  litigation  over  land  has  greatly  increasd  in  the  last  few  years,  and 
I  can  see  this  tendency  to  increase  ever  since  the  commencement  of  my  first 
term  of  office.  It  is  to  the  mitigation  of  these  evils  that  I  desire  to  urge 
you  to  pay  some  attention,  for  when  you  consider  the  hundreds  of  thousands 
of  dollars  interested  in  property  in  this  city  and  are  aware  that  the  longer 
action  is  postponed  the  more  trouble  and  expense  will  there  be  in  cor- 
recting and  adjusting  discrepancies,  I  do  not  see  why  you  should  hesitate  to 
take  some  immediate  action. 

In  conclusion  I  would  like  to  thank  your  Honorable  body  for  favors  and 
considerations  shown  during  your  term  of  office,  and  call  your  especial  atten- 
tion to  the  following  tables  showing  the  work  done  by  this  office  during  the 
past  year.  Very  respectfully, 

S.  HARRISON  SMITH, 

City  and  County  Surveyor.

SUGGESTIONS. 

It  is  expected,  and  indeed  required  by  law,  that  in  each  annual  report 
suggestions  will  be  made  of  such  improvements  in  the  arrangement  and 
additions  to  the  equipments  of  the  service  as  expeOice  ruojr  show  to  be 
useful  and  necessary. 

In  this  connection,  and  in  view  of  the  fact  that  an  appropriation  of 
$20,000  has  been  made  to  establish  a  police  patrol  wagon  and  signal  system, 
it  is  suggested  that  immediate  steps  be  taken  to  put  the  system  in  operation. 


BEMARKS,  71£ 

In  my  annual  report  of  previous  years  I  have  suggested  that  the  City  and 
County  purchase  lots  and  erect  thereon  police  station-houses,  fitted  with 
dormitories,  for  the  retention  of  a  reserve  force  of  police  on  duty.  The  Fire 
Department  station- houses  are  owned  by  the  city;  why  not  the  Police  De- 
partment ? 

I  herewith  repeat  my  suggestions,  made  in  my  communication  to  your 
Honorable  Board  of  January  llth  last,  with  reference  to  vacant  rooms  in  the 
Old  City  Hall: 

"In  view  of  the  fact  *  *  *  that  this  City  has  no  police  stations 
where  there  are  any  accommodations  for  officers  when  off  duty,  it  is  sug- 
gested that  as  many  of  these  rooms  as  possible  be  fitted  up  as  dormitories, 
reading-rooms  and  gymnasium  for  the  use  of  members  of  this  Department. 
In  all  large  cities  in  the  East  the  police  stations  are  city  property  and  fitted 
up  to  accommodate  all  officers  in  the  district  where  located,  thus  giving  the 
force  a  place  of  rendezvous,  and  where  they  can  be  concentrated  in  cases  of 
riot,  etc.,  and  kept  in  readiness  for  service  night  and  day." 

The  destruction  of  property  by  riots  which  have  occurred  in  other  cities, 
and  the  danger  to  which  we  have  been  exposed  from  the  same  cause,  should 
warn  us  to  use  all  reasonable  diligence  to  prevent  such  disasters. 

A  small  body  of  police,  properly  drilled  and  skillfully  handled,  thrown 
suddenly  upon  incipient  rioters,  will  generally  quell  them  before  property  is- 
destroyed  and  life  sacrificed,  when  by  delay  serious  and  disastrous  conse- 
quences may  follow.  A  reserve  force  should  be  kept  in  the  station  at  all 
times  except  when  sent  out  on  duty  or  for  out-door  drill. 

.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  taxpayers  have  to  pay  for  property 
destroyed  by  riotous  mobs,  and  I  would  seriously  urge  that  the  reasonable 
precautionary  measures  to  which  your  attention  is  directed  would  be  a  very 
cheap  insurance  against  the  heavy  losses  which  may  be  incurred  by  neglect- 
ing to  take  that  care  of  the  public  interests  which  any  reasonable  person 
would  take  in  the  management  of  his  private  affairs. 

I  also  renew  my  suggestions  of  previous  years  as  to  the  necessity  of  a 
mounted  patrol  for  the  outlying  districts.  Experience  has  demonstrated  that 
at  least  fifteen  mounted  patrolmen  are  needed  for  this  service.  A  station- 
house  fitted  with  dormitories  for  the  men  and  stables  for  the  horses  should 
be  erected  for  this  branch  of  the  service. 

The  rooms  in  the  basement  of  the  Old  City  Hall  recently  used  as  a  Re- 
ceiving  Hospital  are  now  unused.  With  but  a  trifling  expense  they  could  be 
fitted  up  for  the  detention  of  witnesses  and  small  boys.  At  times  it  is  neces- 
sary to  temporarily  detain  witnesses,  and  it  must  be  admitted  that  it  is  not 
just  to  confine  them  with  criminals  or  to  have  small  boys  within  the  hearing 
of  such  criminals. 

The  distribution  on  the  streets  of  printed  dodgers,  handbills  or  circulars 
should  be  prohibited  by  an  ordinance.  When  the  City  was  in  its  infancy 
there  was  no  objection  to  this  mode  of  advertising,  but  now  that  the  City  is 
populous  the  distribution  of  the  dodger  has  become  a  nuisance.  If  the  per. 


720  CHIEF  OF  POLICE'S  EEPOKT. 

sons  who  advertise  by  this  means  would  consider  that  as  a  rule  the  dodger  is 
thrown  in  the  street  without  being  read,  they  would  adopt  some  other  mode 
of  advertising;  therefore  they  should  not  object  to  an  ordinance  prohibiting 
the  distribution  of  the  dodger. 

The  use  of  deadly  weapons,  particularly  the  pistol,  is  very  frequent.  The 
ordinance  which  prohibits  the  carrying  of  such  weapons  concealed  is  inop- 
erative because  the  law-abiding  citizen  seldom  applies  for  permission  to  carry 
such  weapon,  nor  does  he  carry  it,  but  is  content  to  depend  upon  the  law  for 
protection;  whereas  those  who  have  no  respect  for  law  and  order  are  always 
"heeled" — armed  with  some  kind  of  deadly  weapon — and  upon  the  slightest 
provocation  make  use  of  it  with  deadly  effect.  I  therefore  recommend  that 
the  minimum  penalty  for  a  violation  of  the  ordinance  be  a  fine  of  not  less 
than  two  hundred  dollars  or  imprisonment  of  two  months.  The  comparison 
between  the  Eastern  cities  and  ours  in  relation  to  the  injury  done  to  the 
person  by  the  use  of  the  deadly  weapon,  is  not  creditable  to  us.  I  believe 
the  existence  of  so  many  shooting-galleries  in  this  city  is  the  cause  of  so 
many  people  becoming  possessed  of  the  pistol.  These  galleries  should  be 
abolished,  particularly  in  the  Chinese  quarter,  as  nearly  every  Chinaman  in 
the  City  is  the  owner  of  a  pistol,  and  we  all  know  how  handy  he  is  in  its  use. 

Order  No.  2031,  amendatory  of  Section  86  of  Order  1917,  concerning  the 
manufacture,  storage  and  sale  of  fireworks,  has  proved  a  success  as  shown  by 
the  reduced  number  of  fire  alarms  attending  the  celebration  of  our  National 
anniversary. 

Order  No.  2055,  concerning  drivers  of  certain  vehicles  and  runners  and 
soliciting  agents,  is  now  being  put  in  operation  and  with  good  effect  in  re- 
straining lawlessness.  The  traveling  public  and  our  citizens  generally  are 
to  be  congratulated  on  the  improved  condition  of  affairs  at  our  ferry  landings 
and  railroad  depots. 

The  evil  of  lottery  gambling  exists  in  a  degree  that  is  not  easily  eradicated. 
Arrests  are  made  under  difficulties,  and,  when  convictions  are  had,  the  fine 
being  light  has  more  the  character  of  a  tax  on  the  business  than  a  means  of 
suppression.  I  would  therefore  suggest  that  the  ordinance  be  so  amended 
that  the  minimum  fine  for  having  lottery  tickets  in  possession  be  not  less 
than  fifty  dollars. 

In  conclusion  I  will  state  that  the  Department  is  efficient  and  well  dis- 
ciplined, and  notwithstanding  that  the  force  is  smaller  in  proportion  to 
population  than  any  other  sea-port  city  in  the  United  States,  the  preservation 
of  order  and  suppression  of  crime  will  compare  favorably  with  any  of  the 

great  cities. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

P.  CKOWLEY, 

Chief  of  Police.

REPORT 

OF  THE 


Board  of  New  City  Hall  Commissioners. 


SECRETARY'S    REPORT. 


OFFICE  OF  A.  T.  SPOTTS,  SECRETARY  OF  THE  ) 

BOARD  OF  NEW  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONERS,  f 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  New  City  Hall  Commissioners : 

GENTLEMEN:  Pursuant  to  your  resolutions  of  record,  the  following  report 
has  been  prepared  by  the  undersigned.  In  compiling  same  an  effort  was 
made  to  produce  a  history  of  the  building  for  the  past  nineteen  years  solely 
from  the  records.  As  I  have  been  secretary  but  a  short  time  and  found  the 
books,  papers  and  records  in  a  chaotic  condition,  the  task  proved  trouble- 
some. Twenty  years  ago  there  were  fewer  courts,  departments  and  libraries, 
and  it  was  thought  the  immense  building  would  not  be  filled.  New  Judges 
of  the  Superior  Court,  the  Free  Public  Library,  Board  of  Education  and 
others  are  demanding  more  room.  When  the  new  McAllister  street  wings 
are  ready  in  whole  or  in  part  the  Old  City  Hall  can  be  abandoned  and  the 
Police  and  other  Departments  removed  to  the  New  City  Hall.  This 
will  fill  the  building,  making  it  necessary  to  finish  the  mansard  roof  and 
fourth  floor  to  accommodate  the  demands  of  this  growing  city.  The  building 
of  the  mansard  roof  raises  the  City  Hall  over  40  feet,  or  one-third  higher, 
making  an  imposing  and  massive  structure,  as  shown  in  the  picture  of  the 
"  adopted  plan  "  accompanying  this  report,  and  when  compared  with  the 
building  as  it  now  stands  in  1889,  all  fair  persons  must  demand  that  the 
building  with  the  mansard  roof  and  a  suitable  main  tower  be  finished,  if  San 
Francisco  is  to  keep  pace  with  the  new  era  of  high  buildings,  running  from 
ien  stories  like  the  "  Chronicle  "  building,  to  sixteen  stories  high  as  in  New 
York,  Chicago  and  elsewhere.  The  public  have  an  exaggerated  idea  of  the 
cost  of  our  New  City  Hall,  and  it  is  hoped  this  report  may  correct  some 
erroneous  impressions. 

On  August  5,  1870,  an  Act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  Pennsylvania  was 
approved,  authorizing  the  use  of  Penn  Square  in  Philadelphia  for  the  con- 
struction of  a  New  City  Hall  and  appointing  a  commission  to  build  same. 
It  was  similar  to  the  Act  of  the  California  Legislature  of  April  4, 1870,  setting 
aside  Yerba  Buena  Park  for  San  Francisco's  New  City  Hall.  Nineteen  years 
have  passed  and  both  "  New  City  Halls  "  are  still  unfinished.  There  is  a 
great  disparity,  however,  in  their  relative  cost  to  date.  Philadelphia's 
appropriation  averaged  about  $750,000  per  annum  for  the  first  fifteen  years, 
and  up  to  December  31,  1885,  had  expended  $11,047,201.11,  and  then  the 
City  Council,  as  the  building  neared  completion,  reduced  the  appropriation 
for  1886  to  $500,000,  which  annual  average  to  the  end  of  1889  would  make  a 


NEW  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONERS'  EEPORT.  765 

total  outlay  of  about  thirteen  million  (13,000,000)  dollars.  The  city  of  San 
Francisco  annually  averaged  from  all  sources,  calculating  every  year  from 
1870  to  1889  the  sum  of  $205,759.20,  making  a  total  cost  of  our  New  City 
Hall  to  July  1,  1889  about  $3,750,106.37,  with  a  balance  of  $159,317.16  of 
the  fund  in  the  treasury. 

The  estimated  amount  to  complete  our  New  City  Hall,  without  consider- 
ing the  mansard  roof  and  fourth  floor,  but  finish  the  two  McAllister  street 
wings  now  being  constructed,  the  basement  and  unfinished  rooms  in  the 
main  building,  and  for  which  working  plans  are  now  being  drawn,  and  to 
finish  the  artificial  stone  walks,  drives,  granite  fence,  steps,  etc.,  now  under 
contract,  as  also  build  a  suitable  main  tower,  87  feet  of  which  has  now  been 
constructed,  will  amount  to  about  one  million  (1,000,000)  dollars  additional 
and  absorb  the  balance  in  the  treasury,  together  with  the  levy  for  the  fiscal 
years  1889  to  1892  inclusive,  when  the  provisions  for  raising  funds  under  the 
Act  of  1887  lapses  and  will  make  the  New  City  Hall  cost,  when  finished,  as 
designed,  "but  without  the  mansard  roof  and  fourth  floor,  about  $4,750,000, 
The  cost  then  of  the  Philadelphia  Hall  to  date,  including  their  mansard  roof, 
has  been  $13,000,000,  or  $9,250,000  more  than  our  City  Hall  has  cost  to 
July  1,  1889. 

The  following  is  a  carefully  prepared  estimate  for  our  New  City  Hall 
mansard  and  fourth  floor: 

"  The  estimated  cost  of  strengthening  the  present  rolled  iron  floors  (area 
1,130,000  square  feet)  and  fireproofing  the  same  similar  to  the  lower  floors, 
and  erecting  the  wrought  and  cast  iron  wide  span  mansard  in  the  attic  style, 
with  parapet  embellishments,  copper  roofs  for  curved  sides  and  decks,  gal- 
vanized iron  cornices,  massive  wrought  and  cast  iron  cresting,  plate  glass 
windows  in  court  rooms,  Free  Public  Library,  etc.,  heavy  glass  skylights, 
interior  woodwork,  painting,  plumbing,  plastering,  heating,  etc.,  etc. — all 
done  in  a  manner  similar  to  the  work  of  the  lower  stories,  is  one  million  and 
ninety  thousand  (1,090,000)  dollars." 

The  Legislature  must  be  appealed  to  again  to  make  provision  for  raising 
by  tax  levy  the  money  for  a  mansard  roof  and  fourth  floor  if  the  building  is 
to  look  like  the  picture  of  the  "adopted  plan."  This  would  make  the 
final  and  complete  cost  of  our  building  about  $5,840,000,  but  less  than  one- 
half  the  cost  of  the  Philadelphia  New  City  Hall. 

Those  who  are  familiar  with  vast  structures  praise  the  work  already 
finished.  Those  only  who  look  at  the  dollars  and  cents  of  cost,  forgetting 
that  nearly  all  the  money  expended  has  gone  into  the  hands  of  California's 
white  mechanics,  artisans  and  laborers,  condemn  it.  It  should  be  remembered 
that  Section  14  of  the  Act  of  March  24,  1876,  provides  that  all  contracts  are 
made  absolutely  void  if  any  Chinaman  or  Mongolian  is  allowed  directly  or 
indirectly  to  work  in  any  shop  or  other  place  having  a  contract  with  or  on 
the  New  City  Hall.  By  way  of  further  comparison  we  note  that  the  State 
Capitol  at  Albany,  New  York,  as  appears  in  the  "American  Architect," 
in  November,  1886,  had  cost  $17,500,000  and  other  changes  and  work  since 
added,  which  are  now  reported  brings  the  total  cost  up  to  $21,500,000.

It  should  be  noted  that  the  Philadelphia  City  Hall  is  a  square  build- 
ing and  the  San  Francisco  City  Hall  is  more  in  the  shape  of  a  triangle, 
the  circular  Hall  of  Kecords  forming  its  eastern  end.  The  longest  frontage 
of  the  Philadelphia  building  is  486  feet  from  north  to  south,  while  the  Park 
avenue  front  of  the  San  Francisco  City  Hall  is  810  feet  from  the  S.  W.  corner 
of  Larkin  street  to  the  eastern  end  of  the  Hall  of  Records.  .Both  the  Larkin 
and  McAllister  street  fronts  greatly  exceed  the  Philadelphia  City  Hall's 
frontage  on  any  street,  and  as  the  Philadelphia  City  Hall's  main  tower  is  537 
feet  high,  and  the  San  Francisco  City  Hall's  main  tower  in  the  adopted  plan 
can  be  but  453  feet  high,  the  relative  frontage  makes  the  San  Francisco  tower 
look  much  shorter  and  far  more  symmetrical  when  the  larger  frontage,  as 
shown  in  the  picture  of  the  adopted  plan  is  considered. 

The  area  of  the  ground  floor  of  the  Philadelphia  City  Hall  is  4%  acres, 
and  including  the  basement  and  mansard,  it  has  four  floors,  which  area 
carried  out  would  make  a  grand  area  of  17  acres  in  the  building. 

The  San  Francisco  area,  owing  to  the  building's  peculiar  shape  and 
wings,  covers  on  the  ground  floor  3%  acres,  and  with  its  basement  and 
mansard  roof  would  contain  five  (5)  floors,  which  area  carried  out  would  make 
18%  acres  or  a  larger  building  than  the  Philadelphia  City  Hall,  and  cost 
far  less.  In  addition  to  the  Odd  Fellows,  J.  J.  O'Brien,  and  other  buildings, 
new,  massive  and  expensive  structures  fronting  the  New  City  Hall  are  now 
being  constructed  and  contemplated,  notably  the  proposed  Mechanics' 
Institute  and  Library,  estimated  to  cost  $1,000,000.  The  Hibernia  Bank  and 
the  new  brick,  iron  and  stone  structures  of  Alvinza  Hayward,  Jno.  P.  Hale, 
A. P.  Hotaling,  B.  and  J.  S.  Doe,  George  T.  Marye  and  others.  This  section 
must  then  become  a  municipal  center  and  the  whole  would  be  in  the  strictest 
sense  a  public  improvement.  If,  therefore,  this  report  may  assist  in  advanc- 
ing the  putting  on  of  the  mansard  roof  and  a  suitable  main  tower,  then  the 
undersigned  will  feel  fully  repaid  for  the  work  done  in  staightening  out  the 
records  and  compiling  this  history  of  the  building. 

Yours  respectfully, 

A.  T.  SPOTTS,  Secretary,

CHAPTEE  I. 


NEW   CITY   HALL. 

The  first  Act  for  the  City  Hall  was  approved  April  4, 1870,  and  is  entitled  viz :  "An  Act  to  provide 
for  the  erection  of  a  City  Hall  in  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco." 

Provision  is  therein  made  for  a  new  City  Hall  at  a  cost  not  to  exceed  $1,500,000  on  a  portion  of 
the  Yerba  Buena  Park,  and  for  the  sale  of  another  part  of  the  reservation  after  laying  out  City  Hall 
and  Park  Avenues ;  the  amount  realized  from  the  sale  of  lots  to  be  used  in  the  erection  of  the  build- 
ing and  improvements  of  grounds.  The  Board  of  Commissioners  provided  for  in  the  Act  were  to 
'  Adopt  such  plans  for  the  erection  of  said  City  Hall  as  in  their  judgment  best  calculated  to  serve 
the  purpose  of  said  city,"  and  "  the  said  City  Hall  shall  be  erected,  completed,  the  grounds  properly 
laid  out  and  enclosed,  and  the  entire  business  for  which  said  Board  of  Commissioners  is  created  and 
appointed  fully  performed  within  three  years  from  the  passage  of  this  Act."  The  Governor  appointed 
Messrs.  P.  H.  Cannavan,  Jos.  G.  Eastland  and  Chas.  E.  McLane,  April  27,  1870,  as  Commissioners. 
Mr.  Cannavan  was  elected  Chairman  and  Mr.  Robert  George,  Secretary,  on  May  llth,  and  the  same 
day  Mayor  Selby  transferred  to  the  Board  Yerba  Buena  Park,  which  had  been  used  as  a  cemetery. 
Bids  on  proposals  for  grading  were  opened  July  7,  1870,  and  the  lowest  bidder  forfeited  his  bond

of  $1,000  and  paid  same.  D.  Hewes  was  then  awarded  the  contract  as  the  next  lowest  bidder  on 
July  26th,  and  continued  to  work  under  same  until  February,  .1871.  There  were  141,042  cubic  yards 
of  sand  excavated  and  he  was  paid  §33,245. 

DESIGNS    AND   PLANS. 

As  early  as  May  23, 1870,  the  attention  of  the  Board  was  given  to  designs  and  plans  for  buildings. 
Section  7  of  the  Act  prescribed  in  general  terms  the  offices  the  building  was  to  accommodate,  viz  : 
"  The  different  Courts  and  Boards  of  the  City  and  County  Officers,  Hall  of  Records,  and  also  offices 
for  the  various  officers  of  said  city  and  county,"  and  the  services  of  architects  Williams  &  Wright  at 
an  expense  of  $500  were  engaged  to  collect  statistics  as  to  the  offices  needed.  Heads  of  departments 
were  conferred  with  to  outline  quarters  for  their  departments  and  officers  to  be  accommodated. 
From  information  gained  a  pamphlet  was  compiled  of  "Instructions  and  Suggestions  to  Architects," 
giving  details  of  size  of  rooms,  their  uses  and  locations,  accompanied  by  a  map  of  the  site.  This 
pamphlet  was  adopted  as  the  Act  of  the  Board  June  23, 1870.  Premiums  were  offered  for  plans 
ranging  from  $2,500  for  first  prize  to  $500  for  last,  and  to  be  presented  by  November  15. 1870.  Sixteen 
sets  were  received,  each  comprising  ground  plan,  floor  plans,  etc.  In  the  "Instructions"  architects 
were  notified  that  the  law  having  established  the  limit  of  §1,500,000,  the  plans  must  be  such  as  would 
afford  a  complete  building  for  that  price,  and  each  design  must  be  accompanied  by  a  general 
description  and  approximate  estimate  of  cost.  November  19th  the  Commissioners  met  at  the  Pavilion 
Art  Gallery  and  opened  all  packages,  and  the  plans  were  inspected  by  the  public.  The  Commissioners 
selected  nine  from  the  lot,  then  five  from  the  nine,  then  one  as  the  first  choice  from  the  five.  The 
authors'  estimates  were  not  satisfactory,  and  were  generally  inside  of  the  $1,500,000  allowed  by  the 
Act.  The  Board  were  compelled  to  have  estimates  made  by  architects  T.  J.  Johnson  and  H.  L.  King 
at  a  cost  of  $500,  and  based  on  other  buildings  in  the  city.  These  estimates  proved  the  cost  of 
acceptable  designs  would  exceed  the  limit.  The  Commissioners  then  figured  on  which  plan  could 
best  temporarily  be  reduced  in  size  and  other  particulars,  so  as  to  bring  the  cost  within  the  allow- 
ance. The  plan  with  the  motto  "  Ne  Vile  Fano,"  could  thus  be  modified  and  was  selected.  The 
architects  were  Fuller,  Laver  &  Co. ,  of  New  York  and  Albany.  The  Commissioners  were  about  three 
months  in  making  their  decision.  In  reducing  the  size  to  conform  to  the  appropriation,  the  mansard 
roof  and  the  two  McAllister  street  wings  were,  for  the  time  being,  truncated  ;  but  no  accommodation 
required  by  the  Act  was  left  out,  for  the  reason  that  the  remainder  of  the  vast  structure  would  prove 
ample  for  the  purpose  of  the  city  at  that  date.  At  the  time  of  this  report 

THE  MCALLISTER  STREET  WINGS 

Have  been  restored  and  are  now  in  process  of  construction,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  rapid 
strides  being  made  by  the  City  of  San  Francisco  may  at  no  distant  day  require  the  mansard  roof 
also  to  be  restored  and  the  magnificent  design  as  originally  presented,  when  it  captured  the  fiiit 
premium,  stand  in  all  its  glory,  anjornament  to  the  city  and  a  credit  to  its  designers.  The  premiums 
awarded  were  for  Nos.  1,  2,  3,  4  and  5,  and  three  extra  prizes  for  merit.  The  cost  aggregating 
$14,579.72.  The  "  Instructions  to  Architects "  provided :  that,  "The  Commissioners  will  be  entitled 
to  make  such  use  of  all  the  designs  receiving  premiums  as  they  deem  proper."  Pattou  &  Jordon 
submitted  a  plan  under  the  motto  "  Flag  and  Globe,"  and  received  a  premium  of  $500.  Their  design 
for  the  Hall  of  Eecords,  detached  from  the  main  building,  was  so  excellent  that  the  Commissioners 
adopted  it  as  part  of  the  plan.  Mr.  Agustus  Laver  was  elected  Architect  February  11,  1871,  at  the 
same  meeting  at  which  the  decision.on  the  plans  was  made,  and  by  resolution,  he  was  instructed  at 
once  to  make  such  modifications  in  the  plan  submitted  as  would  bring  the  cost  of  the  building 
within  the  limit  of  $1,500,000  allowed  by  the  Act. 


SALE  OF  CITY  HALL  LOTS. 

A  map  was  prepared  by  the  County  Surveyor,  as  directed  by  the  Act  of  1870,  of  Yerba  Buena 
Park,  for  the  sale  of  lots.  This  map  was  finally  approved  by  the  Commissioners.  The  whole  number 
of  lots  were  99.  John  Middleton  &  Son  were  appointed  auctioneers.  Two  days  before  the  time  set 
for  the  sale,  A.  P.  Hotaling  obtained  an  injunction;  but  it  was  finally  decided  that  the  Act  was 
legal.  The  sale  was  consummated  August  28,  1871.  As  has  been  noticed,  Section  15  of  the  Act 
required  the  City  Hall  to  be  erected  and  completed  within  three  years  from  April  4,  1870;  but  this 
litigation  was  the  first  step  in  prolonging  the  life  of  the  first  Commission.  Experts  had  estimated 


NE\\  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONERS.  769 


the  value  of  the  lots  at  $1,000,000.  The  total  amount  realized  was  $953,900,  with  10  per  cent,  interest 
on  deferred  payments,  which  finally  aggregated  $1,099,925.14.  The  terms  of  sale,  as  provided  in 
Section  5  of  the  Act,  were  25  per  cent,  payable  on  day  of  sale  and  75  per  cent,  in  equal  installments 
in  one,  two  and  three  years,  with  10  per  cent,  interest  added.  On  lot  78  the  sum  of  $1,325  was  for- 
feited and  resold  to  George  T.  Marye.  With  the  exception  of  lot  78,  final  payments  for  all  the  other 
lots  were  made,  and  the  Mayor  and  Auditor,  under  an  Act  of  March  30,  1874,  executed  and  delivered 
deeds  August  28,  1874.  The  expenses  of  sale  were  $9,067.47,  not  including  the  legal  fee  paid  Messrs. 
Hoge,  Wilson  &  Felton  in  the  injunction  suit. 


EX-MAYOR,  WILLIAM  ALVOED. 

On  December  1,  1873,  the  retiring  Mayor,  the  Hon.  William  Alvord,  in  an  address  to  the  Board 
of  Supervisors,  said  of  the  New  City  Hall:  "  I  deem  it  my  duty  to  say,  that  while  I  would  not  have 
advised  the  construction  of  so  costly  a  building  as  the  one  now  under  way  promises  to  be,  still,  now 
that  it  has  reached  its  present  proportions,  I  cannot  recommend  abandoning  the  work  entirely.  On 
the  contrary,  I  think  it  would  be  wise  pojicy  to  continue  the  work,  spending  a  moderate  sum  upon  it 
yearly  until  finished.  *  *  *  *  *  '  *  I  feel  compelled  to  add  that  it 

would  be  a  lasting  disgrace  to  the  city  to  erect  so  large  and  splendid  a  pile  in  the  small  tract  reserved 
for  it,  hemmed  in  by  the  rows  of  inferior  houses  that  will  eventually  grow  up  around  it.  The  sale  of 
lots  fronting  on  Market  street  was  a  mistake  which  should,  if  possible,  be  corrected  by  repurchasing 
them  before  any  improvements  are  made  thereon.  The  whole  space  between  the  Hall  and  Market 
street  should  belong  to  the  city,  and  be  converted  into  lawns  and  gardens,  tkus  making  a  beautiful 
esplanade  in  front  of' the  costly  edifice  now  being  erected.  In  the  great  cities  of  Europe,  power  and 
money  have  been  employed  in  our  times  to  remove  unsightly  obstructions  and  clear  the  way  for  fine 
views  of  cathedrals  and  other  architectural  monuments.  It  is  inexcusable  defiance  of  experience 
and  taste  for  this  young  city  to  build  up  obstructions  and  to  hide  its  most  pretentious  public  hall  as 
if  ashamed  of  it.  The  policy  of  the  city  in  this,  as  in  all  other  particulars,  should  look  to  the  future, 
should  be  calculated  to  increase  the  beauty  and  spaciousness  of  a  metropolis  destined  to  be  only  the 
second  in  America.  It  is  difficult  to  estimate  the  full  influence  on  public  taste,  and  the  full  value  as 
a  source  of  pleasure,  of  a  handsome  architectural  pile  elegantly  exposed  and  surrounded.  It  is 
cheap  and  mean  to  deny  ourselves  and  our  posterity  an  advantage  of  this  kind  which  we  can  secure 
so  easily. " 

It  is  sixteen  years  since  Ex-Mayor  Alvord  gave  this  sound  advice,  and  pity  it  is  that  it  was  not 
heeded  and  the  lots  repurchased  before  their  improvement  commenced.  The  99  City  Hall  Lots  were 
sold  on  time  and  deeds  delivered  some  months  after  Mayor  Alvord  had  advised  their  repurchase  by 
the  city,  when  their  value  had  not  materially  increased.  There  were  50  lots  of  25  feet  on  Market 
street  by  100  feet  deep,  or  a  total  frontage  of  1,250  feet,  which  had  cost  the  purchasers  when  deeds 
were  delivered  $594,070,  or  an  average  of  $475  per  front  foot  and  $11.875  per  lot.  The  Real  Estate 
Circular  of  Thomas.  Magee  for  August,  1889,  contains  the  following  item,  viz  : 

"  Three  City  Hall  Lots,  northwest  side  of  Market  street,  northeast  of  City  Hall  avenue,  each 
25x100  in  size,  have  lieen  sold  to  two  buyers  for  $150,000." 

This  sale  is  at  the  rate  of  $2,000  per  front  foot  and  an  increase  of  four  and  one-fifth  (4  1-5)  times 
the  purchase  price,  and  applied  to  the  Market  street  lots  of  similar  size  would  raise  their  value  to 
$2,500,000  at  this  date.  There  were  sold  42  lots  of  25x100  on  Park  avenue  at  an  average  of  $8,125  when 
deeds  were  delivered,  or  $325  per  foot,  costing  for  deeds  $341,804.50,  the  increase  on  which  for  the 
whole  1,052  feet  frontage,  if  sold  at  the  Market  street  ratio  of  increase,  make  their  present  value 
$1,435,980. 

The  remainder  of  the  99  lots,  consisting  of  seven  irregular-shaped  parcels  of  ground  near  the 
several  corners,  brought  $161.860.50,  and  at  the  same  ratio  of  increase  as  above  calculated  would 
bring  $617,472.  We  have,  therefore,  a  total  value  to  date  of  $4,583,452,  for  which,  of  principal  and 
interest,  the  city  and  county  received  $1,099,925.14. 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  note  here  that  up  to  July  1,  1889,  the  New  City  Hall  had  cost  just 
$3,750,106.59,  and  some  $833,345.41  less  than  the  lost  sold  are  calculated  to  be  worth  at  this  date. 


770  REPORT  OF  THE  BOAKD  OP 


CHAPTEK  II. 

EXCAVATIONS  AND  FOUNDATIONS. 

It  was  decided  in  1871  to  advertise  for  bids  for  excavating,  leveling  and  foundations.  The  con- 
tract was  let  for  excavating  and  leveling  to  J.  R.  Myers,  on  [March  28,  1871,  and  was  continued  to 
May  10th,  when  62,505  cubic  yards  had  been  removed  and  work  was  suspended. 

ERECTION  OF  BUILDING. 

The  Act  of  1870  left  it  to  the  Commissioners  to  let  the  whoie  work  or  "some  particular  portion  of 
the  work."  The  first  thing  now  in  order  to  be  d'one  was  to  construct  the  foundation,  and  the  first 
of  this  work  the  concrete  bed.  The  material,  it  was  decided,  should  be  procured  by  the  Commis- 
sioners and  furnished  to  the  contractors  for  this  work.  The  stone  decided  upon  was  to  come  from 
Telegraph  Hill,  and  a  contract  was  awarded  to  Philip  Caduc.  The  quarry  at  Angel  Island  was  se- 
lected for  the  foundation  stone,  and  the  contract  awarded  to  Henry  W.  Scale,  and  the  U.  S,  Gov- 
ernment granted  the  use  of  this  quarry  free.  Proposals  were  asked  for  putting  in  the  concrete  bed, 
and  this  was  considered  the  most  important  work  to  be  performed  by  the  Commissioners. 
This  included  necessary  excavations  and  fencing  on  the  site."  The  contract  was  awarded  to  D. 
Jordan,  and  the  work  commenced  September  13,1871.  It  was  completed  in  February,  1872.  The 
concrete  bed  is  six  feet  in  thickness  under  the  Hall  of  Records  and  main  tower,  four  feet  under  the 
walls  of  the  main  building,  and  three  feet  over  the  balance  of  the  surface  of  the  whole  structure 
except  the  inner  court  of  65  feet  square,  where  none  was  required  to  be  laid.  This  is  called  the 
monolithic  concrete  bed,  and  the  cost  for  same,  with  the  necessary  work,  was  §201,726.56. 

FOUNDATION  WALLS. 

Proposals  for  building  the  foundation  walls  and  for  cement  and  brick  were  received  about  De- 
cember 1,  1871,  and  contracts  awarded  to  John  Cochran  and  George  Middlemiss,  who  commenced 
operations.  This  was  the  principal  work  carried  on  during  the  year,  and  to  the  plinth  course,  cost 
$322,884.47,  and  was  finished  in  November,  1872. 

CORNER  STONE. 

The  corner  stone  was  laid  February  22,  1872,  with  civic,  military  and  Masonic  ceremonies.  The- 
cost  was  $1,269.82. 

PLINTH  COURSE. 

Bids  were  opened  May  3, 1872,  and  contract  awarded  for  plinth  course  to  G.  Griffith  &  Co.,  for 
Penryn  granite.  This  work  was  completed  in  April,  1873,  and  there  were  15,000  cubic  yards  laid,  at  a 
total  cost  of  $41,880. 

On  February  9,  1872,  it  was  ordered  by  the  Board  that  Architect  Laver  prepare  a  statement  in 
detail  of  the  cost  of  the  building  according  to  the  modified  plan,  which  was  not^to  include  the  trun- 
cated mansard  roof  and  two  McAllister  street  wings,  but  from  the  concrete  bed  up,  with  specifica- 
tions of  measurements  and  calculations.  It  was  to  include  the  kind  of  material  to  [be  used  and 
estimated  cost  thereof,  and  to  be  accompanied  by  such  detailed  drawings  as  might  be  necessary  to 
verify  the  statement.  April  16,  1872,  Architect  Laver  presented  a  report,  showicg  quantities  of 
material,  and  a  detailed  statement  of  what  was  needed  for  the  whole  building,  including  the  Hall  of 
Records.  The  footings  of  same  amounted  to  $1,572,348,  and  was  for  the  o  riginal  style  of  building,, 
containing  for  interior  finish,  wood  and  other  light  materials,  and  not  such  material  as  iron  joists, 
cement  floors,  etc.,  required  for  interior  work  of  an  extra  fireproof  building— such  as  has  teea 
erected. 


NEW  CITY  HALL    COMMISSIONERS.  771 

The  Commission  was  advised  by  the  architect,  September  20,  1872,  that  all  existing  contracts  for 
the  foundation  of  the  City  Hall  being  about  completed,  the  particular  attention  of  the  Board  should 
be  directed  at  this  stage  of  the  building  to  the  final  determination  of  fire-proofing  the  whole  structur  e 
in  a  substantial  manner.  The  question  of  fire -proofing  required  clue  provision  should  be  made  in 
preparing  to  lay  the  rolled  iron  joists,  and  built  up  girders  in  their  several  positions  before  the  set- 
ting and  backing  of  the  granite  plinth  course.  He  presented  to  the  Commission  for  examination 
the  necessary  detailed  specifications,  schedules  and  drawings  for  the  whole  superstructure,  and  asked 
for  further  instructions.  His  communication  caused  the  Board,  on  September  25,  1872,  to  make  the 
following  entry  in  their  minutes: 

"  The  matter  of  erecting  the  superstructure  of  the  building,  the  manner  of  contracting  for  the 
same,  the  matter  of  fire-proofing,  and  the  other  matters  referred  to  in  the  architect's  letter  in  con- 
nection therewith,  and  the  advisability  of  advert'sing  as  soon  as  possible  for  five  or  ten  million 
brick,  were  on  motion  of  Mr.  McLane  referred  to  the  architect,  consulting  architect  and  superin- 
tendent, to  report  in  one  week."  Thereupon  this  committee  of  officers  held  regular  meetings,  and 
their  report  recommended,  "that  the  corridors,  halls,  staircases  and  floors  of  the  main  building  be 
extra  fire  proofed,  and  tenders  asked  for  the  iron  girders  for  them  as  one  tender;  and  separate 
tenders  be  asked  for  iron  girders  for  the  floors,"  etc. 

Ten  million  brick  were  recommended  to  be  advertised  for,  and  ten  thousand  barrels  of  lime. 
This  report  was  concurred  in  by  the  Board  and  adopted  as  embodying  the  Commissioners'  views,  and 
the  Board  was  thus  definitely  committed  to  a  policy  of  erecting  a  substantial  fire-proof  structure  that 
would  ultimately  cost  far  more  than  the  $1,500,000  allowed  to  construct  the  building.

Specification  and  detail  plans  for  the  superstructure  were  perfected  and  proposals  advertised  for 
November  25,  1872.  The  portion  of  building  to  be  erected  under  same  included  all  walls  of  main 
building  and  Hall  of  Records  to  an  even  height,  from  plinth  course,  to  the  top  of  podium  and  base 
of  colums  and  pilasters  ;  completing  the  walls  of  the  basement  story,  the  piers  of  the  main  porticos, 
and  extending  three  and  one-half  feet  above  the  line  of  the  first  story  floor.  The  upper  line  of  the 
finished  walls  being  eighteen  feet  above  the  terrace  level. 

At  this  stage  it  was  the  earnest  wish  of  the  Commissioners  to  use  stone  for  facing  and  other 
purposes,  and  the  official  advisers  of  the  Board  were  unanimously  in  favor  of  it,  and  made  visits  to 
and  analyses  of  the  various  quarries  in  the  State,  which  formed  the  basis  of  exhaustive  reports  to 
the  Commissioners  ;  but  cost  and  time  were  urged  against  it  and  the  Commissioners  felt  themselves 
bound  to  abandon  the  intention  and  fall  back  upon  brick  covered  with  siucso,  as  the  material  with 
which  to  erect  the  whole  great  structure.  Bids  were  received  January  10,  1873,  andFebruary  15, 
1873.  This  work  was  commenced  April  15,  1873-,  and  finished  during  the  year. 


FIRST   STORY   SUPERSTRUCTURE. 

Tha  architect  on  April  23,  1873,  was  directed  to  prepare  detail  plans  and  specifications  and 
estimates  of  cost.  First,  for  the  completion  of  the  Hall  of  Records  ;  and  second,  for  the  erection  of 
the  main  building  above  the  line  of  work  then  contracted  for.  Considerable  time  was  required  to 
perfect  this  order. 

On  June  26, 1873,  the  question  arose  whether  new  contracts  should  be  entered  into  and  the  work 
continued,  after  all  the  money  received  from  the  sale  of  lots  had  been  expended,  and,  on  motion, 
the  attorney  of  the  Board  was  instructed  to  prepare  a  written  opinion  on  the  matter.  He  subse- 
quently reported  that  the  subject  had  had  his  attention  for  a  longtime— he  had  considered  it  in  all 
its  bearings— and  his  conclusions  were,  that  the  Board  had  the  right  to  extend  their  contracts  up  to 
the  one  and  one-half  millions  specified  in  the  statute— that  the  object  of  the  appointment  was  to 
build  a  City  Hall. 

At  the  same  meeting  the  architect  was  instructed  to  report  among  other  things  ***** 
"The  quantities  of  material  required  to  build  the  Hall  of  Records  entire,  and  the  wall  of  the  main 
building  to  an  even  height  within  the  expenditure  of  §400,000,  and  to  what  height  this  expenditure 
would  carry  the  building."  At  this  time  the  Board  had  spent  and  contracted  for  about  $1,100,000 
of  the  $1,500,000  allowed  for  the  structure. 


772  EEPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF 

The  fire-proofing  and  other  modifications  had  baen  marked  and  were  highly  important  to  the 
publi  2  service,  but  of  course  involved  additional  cost. 

In  answer  to  the  above  resolution  of  June  27th,  the  following  was  presented  : 

ESTIMATE 

For  building  the'walls'of  the  main  building  to  a  height  of  fifteen  (15)  feet  above  Swing's 
contract,  being  the  level  for  the  second  story  floor  joists  (33  feet  above  the  terrace), 
as  shown  on  the  plan,  and  for  providing  and  fixing  the  iron  girders  and  joists  for 
the  secon  1  story  floor $220,000  00 


HALL   OF   RECORDS. 

For  completing  the  walls  and  dome  of  Hall  of  Records,  with  the  internal  and  external 
iron  columns,  girderb  and  flour  joists,  but  not  including  the  ornamental  portions 
of  the  cast  iron,  nor  the  external  corridor  and  rooms 170,000  00 

Total $390,000  00 

This  amount,  with  d'sbursements  for  "  Expense  Account,"  would  absorb  the  $400,000  and  balance 
of  appropriation  of  $1,500,000. 

The  financial  difficulty  now  met  the  Commissioners  face  to  face.  Since  the  commencement  of 
the  work,  awful  conflagrations  had  visited  Chicago  in  1871,  and  Boston  in  1872.  A  few  essentially 
fire  proof  buildings  in  any  large  city  in  the  march  of  devouring  flames  are  calculated  to  check,  if  not 
arrest  further  progress  ;  and  the  simple  item  of  insurance  on  so  large  a  building,  and  the  possible 
loss  of  valuable  records  seemed  sufficient  ground  alone  to  warrant  this  change— and  especially  so,  as 
San  Francisco  is  built  of  such  inflammable  materials. 

In  forming  the  building  fire  proof,  it  will  be  remembered  that  interior  brick  walls  have  been 
substituted  for  wood  partitions— the  foundations  and  walls  requiring  particular  construction  to 
receive  the  floors,  and  for  the  support  of  the  wrought  iron  girders,  columns,  joists,  etc.  The  Com- 
missioners had  wisely  determined  to  make  the  building  fire  proof, -and  build  it  as  far  as  they  could 
to  the  limit  of  their  appropriation  in  the  best  manner.  In  coming  to  this  determination  they  were 
not  only  advised  as  to  the  legality  of  their  position  by  their  attorney,  but  by  influential  citizens  as  to 
the  time,  meaning  and  intent  of  the  Legislature  in  framing  the  statute  of  April  4,  1870.  The  Com- 
missioners determined  to  build  the  Hall  of  Records,  iriternally  and  externally  first,  and  carry  up  the 
walls  of  the  main  building  to  whatever  height  the  balance  of  the  appropriation  of  $1,500,000  would 
carry  them. 

Bids  were  again  called  for  and  necessary  contracts  were  let  about  August,  1873,  and  one  in 
October,  1873,  and  it  was  expected  they  would  be  finished  in  about  five  months. 


CHAPTEE  III. 


It  was  known  that  the  Legislature  of  1873-74  must  be  asked  for  more  money  and  further  relief. 

On  October  8,  1873,  on  motion,  the  architect,  Mr.  Laver,  was  instructed  to  prepare  specifications 
and  general  drawings  of  the  whole  building,  to  include  detailed  specifications  of  the  whole  work,and 
also  make  an  explanatory  report  for  the  information  of  the  Legislature.  The  consulting  architect, 
Mr.  Wright,  was  requested  to  assist  in  the  work.  This  covered  a  fire-proof  building.  On  December 
20,  1873,  the  architect  presented  his  report  as  above  required,  and  the  same  being  referred  to  the 
consulting  architect  he  subsequently  made  his  report,  both  of  which  will  be  hereafter  referred  to. 

Much  dissatisfaction  had  been  expressed  by  the  public  with  this  Board  of  Commissioners,  and 
December  22,  1873,  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  knowing  further  legislation  was  contemplated,  em- 
ployed Architects  David  Farquharson  and  J.  P.  Gaynor  to  prepare  estimates  for  the  Board  of  Super- 
visors of  the  probable  cost  of  completing  the  building  after  final  completion  of  existing  contracts . 
The  several  architects  made  and  filed  voluminous  reports.

These  figures  do  not  include  about  $1,460,000  paid  out  and  due  in  existing  contracts,  or  any  esti- 
mate of  cost  for  the  McAllister  street  wings,  or  any  calculating  forjalmansard  [roof  which  at  that 
date  the  Board  of  Commissioners  had  truncated. 

Mr.  Denis  Jordan  made  a  proposal  about  this  time  to  build  all  portions  covered, 'by  the  above 
reports  for  $2,170,000,  but  no  official  record  of  same  appears  on  the  minutes  or  in.the  archives  of  the 
Commission. 

Two  Investigating  Committees  of  the  Legislature  thoroughly  overhauled  .this  .Commission  and 
exonerated  them  from  public  charges  or  any  blame.  The"  investigation  was  thorough,  the  Legisla- 
ture being  of  the  opposite  political  party  to  the  Commissioners. 

A  further  explanatory  report  from  Messrs.  Farquharson  &  Gaynor  is  of  interest,  and  I  quote,  viz: 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  January  31,  1874. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN:  The  amount  of  work  now  under  contract  and  in  progress  will,  when  completed, 
raise  the  walls  of  the  main  building  to  the  level  of  the  second  story  floor,  or  a  height  of  33  feet  above 
the  terrace  level,  and  will  complete  the  walls  and  roof  of  the  Record  Hall.  The  cost  of  work  to  this 
point  will  then  have  been,  including  grading  of  park  and  all  expenses,  about, the  sum  of  $1,460,000, 
as  per  statement  of  Secretary  to  the  Commissioners. 

Commencing,  then,  with  the  completion  of  the  present  contracts,  we  find  that  the  cost  of  com- 
pleting the  building,  without  the  two  McAllister  street  win^s  and  mansard  roof,  as  per  plan  and 
specifications,  including  the  boundary  fence  and  work  on  the  park  grounds,  would  be  the  sum  of 
$2,648,000.  ******  The  cost  of  building  the  twT>  wings  fronting  on  McAllister  street  would 
be,  if  carried  out  in  a  corresponding  manner  with  the  other  work,  the  sum  of  §746,000.  As  the  plans 
for  these  wings  are  not  completed,  we  have  only  been  able  to  make  a  propoitional  estimate  of  them 
instead  of  a  detailed  estimate.  The  total  cost  of  the  building  would  then  be  the  sum  of  §4,854,060, 
made  up  as  under  : 

Cost  of  work  to  completion  of  present  contract,  say §1,460,000  00 

Cost  of  completing  work  already  commenced 2,648,000  00 

Cost  of  building  the  two  wings 746,000  00 


Total §4,851,000  00 

The  time  required  to  complete  the  work  as  above  would  be  three  years  and  a  half. 
The  cost  of  finishing  the  building  in  part,  so  far  as  to  render  it  fit  for  occupation  by  the  muni- 
cipal and  county  officers,  and  omitting  for  the  present  the  two  McAllister  street  wings,  all  the  towers, 
the  portico,  the  granite  steps,  the  exterior  cement  walk,  the  tower  hall  dome,  the  central  court 
piazzas,  the  steam-heating  and  all  the  balustrades,  together  with  the  boundary  fence  and  work  on 
grounds,  would  be  the  sum  of  §1,703,354;  and  Ihe  time  required  for  the  execution  of  that  amount  of 
work  would  be  two  years.    *    *    The  work  upon  the  building  has  been  well  performed. 
All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

DAVID  FARQUHARSON, 
JOHN  P.  GAYNOR. 


*  CHAPTEE  IV. 

An  Act  was  passed  and  approved  March  30, 1874,  entitled  :  "An  Act  to  abolish  the  Board  of  New 
City  Hall  Commissioners  artd  to  provide  for  the  continuance  of  the  construction  of  the  City  Hall  of 
the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco." 

Under  Section  1  the  Commissioners  were  to  deliver  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors  the  site,  super- 
structure, material  and  property  belonging  to  the  City  Hall  in  thirty  days  from  the  passage  of  the 
Act.  The  Board  of  Supervisors  were  required  to  assume  the  trust  and  carry  out  existing  contracts ; 
but  the  Act  expressly  stated  in  Section  12  that  no  authority  was  conferred  upon  the  Supervisors  to 
make  any  new  contracts,  or  in  any  manner  continue  the  work,  except  to  provide  for  the  preservation 
of  the  building  so  far  as  constructed,  and  for  which  §25,000  and  no  more  could  be  expended. 


NEW  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONEBS.  775 

A' letter  was  received  April  15,  1874,  from  the  Board  of  Supervisors  covering  Resolution  No.  5,031 
"(new  series),  passed  in  conformity  with  the  Act  of  1874,  requesting  the  Board  to  prepare  a  report 
showing  the  amount  and  condition  of  all  the  machinery,  material,  tools  and  appliances  and  property 
of  every  description  and  nature  belonging  to  the  New  City  Hall,  together  with  information  of  the 
character  of  existing  contracts.  *  *  *  * 

Also,  that  the  Committee  on  Public  Buildings  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  was  empowered  and 
authorized  to  receive  all  the  property  belonging  to  the  city  and  county  in  the  charge  and  possession 
of  this  Board  on  the  29th  inst.,  and  to  take  all  necessary  steps  to  facilitate  said  transfer  and  to  carry 
out  as  contemplated,  the  provisions  of  existing  contracts.  The  Superintendent  was  thereupon 
instructed  to  make  a  full  and  complete  inventory  of  the  property  in  charge  of  this  Board  of  every 
description,  and  the  Secretary  was  instructed  to  make  up  a  suitable  report  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

On  April  29,  1874,  the  Mayor,  the  Building  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  Messrs. 
Maodonald,  Pease  and  Sims,  and  the  following  members  of  the  Board,  viz.:  Messrs.  Lynch,  Roberts, 
Ebbets,  Scott,  Kenny,  Black,  Hewston  and  Deering  met  the  Board  of  City  Hall  Commissioners. 
P.  H.  Cannavan,  Chairman  of  the  Board,  delivered  to  the  Mayor,  as  President  of  the  Board  of 
Supervisors,  the  following  papers  of  transfer  marked  as  follows  : 

Exhibit  "A"— Inventory  of  office  building,  property  contained  therein  and  other  property. 

Exhibit  "  B  "—Schedule  of  iron  on  ground  delivered*  under  Sweeney  &  Moore,  contracts  and 
inventory  of  property  on  ground. 

Exhibit  "C"—  Schedule  of  drawings,  plans,  etc.,  in  architect's  department. 

Exhibit  "  D  "—Statement  of  condition  of  existing  contracts  ;  statement  of  accounts  containing 
balance  sheet ;  summary  of  expenditures  ;  summary  of  receipts  from  all  sources  ;  statement  of 
amounts  deposited  with  City  and  County  Treasurer  from  sale  of  lots  ;  statement  of  amounts  of 
warrants  unpaid  accompanied  by  list  of  same ;  statement  of  amounts,  payable  on  existing  contracts. 

Upon  delivering  the  aforesaid  documents' the  Chairman  said  : 

"  GENTLEMEN  •  *  •  »  •  You  will  observe  that  the  total  amount  of  warrants  drawn  by 
us  on  the  City  and  County  Treasurer  up  to  this  hour  is  $1,325,273.37.  The  amounts  your  Honorable 
Board  will  have  to  pay  to  complete  existing  contracts  is  $122,336.13.  This  will  build  the  main  wall 
of  the  Hall  of  Eecords  and  put  on  the  iron  dome,  and  will  leave  the  main  building  at  a  height  of 
thirty-three  feet  above  the  terrace  level.  *  *  *  * 

"In  surrendering  to  our  successors  the  property,  papers  and  accounts  of  the  City  Hall  Commis- 
.sion,  we  desire  to  remind  your  Honorable  Board  that  we  have  in  every  year  of  our  term  of  office 
voluntarily  given  you  full  particulars  of  the  progress  of  the  work  ;  the  changes  in  the  structure  we 
have  made  or  contemplated,  and  a  detailed  statement  of  our  expenditures  and  receipts  *  *  *  * 
Whatever  difference  of  opinion  may  now  exist,  we  feel  confident  that  when  the  building  is  com- 
pleted, if  the  work  is  prosecuted  in  a  proper  manner,  few  will  be  disposed  to  find  fault  with  the 
character  of  the  edifice,  or  with  its  cost,  considering  its  size,  solidity  and  finish.  *  *  *  *  We 
retire  gladly  from  duties  which  were  always  arduous,  and  in  consequence  of  misrepresentations  have 
become  disagreeable." 

Mayor  Otis  received  the  documents  and  transferred  them  to  Mr.  Macdonald,  the  Chairman  of 
the  Building  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  and  said : 

"  On  behalf  af  the  Board  of  Supervisors  as  their  President,  I  accept  the  transfer  of  the  papers  of 
the  City  Hall  Commissioners,  the  property  in  your  keeping,  and  the  surrender  of  your  office  as  Com- 
missioners, in  accordance  with  the  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  March  30,  1874. 

"  While  I  believe  in  centralizing  all  business  of  the  city  in  the  hands  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors 
and  in  the  abolishment  of  Commissioners,  I  cannot  but  express  satisfaction  at  the  able  manner  with 
which  you  have  discharged  the  duties  of  your  office,  you  have  acted  with  integrity  and  for  the  best 
interests  of  the  city.  You  have  been  abused  and  unjustly  abused,  I  will  say;  but  you  have  worked 
energetically  and  faithfully.  This  work  was  thrust  upon  the  Board  of  Supervisors  without  their 
seeking,  but  we  are  now  ready  to  accept  the  duties  devolving  on  us  under  the  Act. 

"All  work,  under  the  present  law,  must  stop  as  soon  as  the  existing  contracts  are  completed, 
•which  I  regret  very  much,  as  whatever  may  be  said  of  the  location  of  the  New  Hall,  it  would  have 
been  better  to  have  continued  the  work  gradually. 

"  Our  accommodations  in  the  old  Hall  are  miserable,  and  the  building  as  a  City  Hall  a  disgrace 
to  a  city  claiming  to  be  the  metropolis  of  the  Pacific  Coast  of  the  United  States. 

"  I  trust  that  the  work  may  be  resumed  in  two  years,  and  I  thank  you  gentlemen  on  the  part  of 
'the  city  for  your  faithful  services." 

The  following  acquittance  was  thereupon  signed,  viz  :  "  Received  from  the  City  Hall  Commis- 
.Bioners  all  the  books,  papers,  furniture,  machinery,  tools,  fixtures,  building  materials  and  property 
of  every  kind  belonging  to  or  under  control  of  said  Commissioners  specified  in  schedules  herewith

to  abolish  the  Board  of  City  Hall  Commissioners  and  to  provide  for  the  continuance  of  the  con- 
struction of  the  City  Hall  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  approved  March  30,  1874.' " 

THE    BOARD   OF    SUPERVISORS .  OF    THE 

CITY  AND  COUNTY  OF  SAN  FRANCISCO, 
Dated  April  29, 1874.  By  JAMES  OTIS,  Mayor. 

The  Act  of  April  4,  1870,  authorized  the  Commissioners  to  issue  warrants,  and  the  Act  of  March 
30,  1874,  authorizing  the  transfer  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  gave  the  Treasurer  the  right  to  issue 
bonds  to  redeem  these  warrants  dollar  for  dollar.  The  Supervisors,  by  Resolution  or  Order  No. 
1151,  provided  for  the  manner  of  issuing  the  $750,000  of  bonds,  and  the  Board  passed  Resolution  No. 
6649,  calling  upon  parties  holding  the  ten  per  cent,  warrants  to  exchange  them  for  the  six  per  cent, 
bonds;  but  up  to  December  1,  1874,  only  nineteen  bonds  had  been  exchanged  for  warrants. 

Supervisors  McDonald,  Pease  and  Sims  composed  the  Building  Committee,  who  had  charge  of 
the  City  Hall,  and  E.  A.  Hatherton  succeeded  Mr.  Agustus  Laver  as  architect. 

WORK  DONE  IN  1874. 

On  December  5,  1874,  Architect  Hatherton  reported  to  the  Building  Committee  on  the  work 
done  since  the  Supervisors  took  charge.  The  brick  work  of  the  main  building,  under  contract  of  D. 
Jordan,  was  then  completed,  the  walls  being  33  feet  above  terrace  level,  being  level  of  second  floor 
joists.  This  height  was  41  feet  above  the  street  grade,  and  47  feet  6  inches  above  the  bottom  of  the 
foundations. 

On  the  Hall  of  Records  little  progress  had  been  made  in  the  brick  work.  The  wrought  iron 
girders  for  the  second  floor  of  the  main  building  were  in  position,  as  also  nearly  all  internal  girders 
of  the  Hall  of  Records. 

WORK  IN  1875. 

The  powers  conferred  upon  the  Supervisors  by  the  Act  of  March  30, 1874,  being  simply  to  carry 
out  existing  contracts  of  the  Commissioners  and  expend  not  to  exceed  $25,000  for  preservation  of 
building,  very  little  was  done  in  1875  on  the  main  building  ;  but  work  on  the  Hall  of  Records  as  far 
as  the  contracts  let  was  prosecuted  and  finished  early  in  1876  and  left  the  structure  almost  ready  for 
occupancy. 

Up  to  the  latter  part  of  April,  1876,  financial  matters  connected  with  the  Hall  under  the  man- 
agement of  the  Supervisors  stood  as  follows  : 

To  amount  sale  of  City  Hall  lots , $1,099,925  14 

To  advertising  refunded  on  sale 432  00 

To  bond  forfeited  and  rebate  on  forfeiture 1,315  45 

To  material  sold  at  Yerba  Buena  Park 247  50 

To  amount  received  on  750,000  C.  H.  C.  bonds 725,535  75 

To  General  and  Urgent  Necessity  Fund 584  55 

$1,828,040  39 

CONTRA. 

By  amount  warrants  drawn $1,236,484  98 

Plus  amount  interest  warrants  of '. 128,300  50 

Under  Commissioners  Cannavan,  Eastland  and  McLane $1,414,785  48 

By  amount  demands  drawn  under  Building  Committee  of 
Board  of  Supervisors 204,286  47 

1,619,071  95 


Balance  for  New  City  Hall  Fund §208,968  44 


With  an  expenditure,  then,  of  $1,619,071.95,  the  building  stood  with  the  Hall  of  Records  almost 
finished,  and  the  walls  of  the  main  building  only  33  feet  above  the  terrace  level,  and  just  six  years 
after  the  first  Act  was  passed  for  its  construction. 

The  Legislature  of  1S73-74  must  be  held  responsible  for  much  of  the  delay  in  completing  th& 


NEW  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONERS.  777 

building,  and  the  increased  indebtedness  as  evidenced  by  the  accumulated  interest  on  the  warrants 
bearing  ten  per  cent,  interest,  as  no  provision  was  made  in  the  Act  passed  at  that  session  for  the 
sale  of  the  bonds  provided  to  be  issued  to  the  extent  of  $750,000  for  their  redemption  of  warrant?, 
the  only  provision  being  that  bonds  bearing  six  per  cent,  per  annum  should  be  issued  and  exchanged 
for  warrants  issued  by  the  Board  of  City  Hall  Commissioners,  bearing  ten  per  cent,  interest,  dollar 
for  dollar. 

As  the  holders  of  warrants  would  not  come  forward  and  voluntarily  make  the  exchange,  the 
interest  accumulated  on  the  large'indebtedness  through  the  want  of  judgment  in  enacting  such  a 
provision  in  the  Act  of  1874. 

This  interest  to  April,  1876,  amounted  to  $128,300  50,  and  the  defect  was  only  remedied  by  the 
Legislature  in  an  Act  passed  April  3,  1376,  specially  applicable  to  these  bonds.

"RESOLVED,  That  under  and  in  pursuance  of  Act  of  the  Legislature  entitled,  '  An  Act  for  the 
completion  of  the  building  in  the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco  known  as  the  New  City  Hall,

of  Supervisors,  the  building,  records  and  all  the  effects  in  any  manner  pertaining  to  the  Hall.  D. 
A.  Macdonald,  as  Chairman  of  the  Building  Committee,  presented  their  report,  covering  their  term 
of  office  in  the  "New  City  Hall  Building,  which  was  read  and  tiled.  The  following  is  an  extract,  viz  : 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  April  24,  1876. 

GENTLEMEN  :    In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  an  Act  passed  at  the  last  session  of  the 
Legislature,  and  in  conformity  with  Resolution  No.  8,617  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,   *    *

of  every  description  and  nature  belonging  to  the  same.    *    *    * 

D.  A.  MACDONALD, 

Chairman. 

The  property  here  referred  to  is  chiefly  that  mentioned  in  Schedules  A,  B,  C.  D,  and  which  are 
now  redelivered  to  a  New  City  Hall  Commission,  and  on  the  back  of  each  is  written,  "  Filed  in 
Clerk's  Office,  Board  of  Supervisors,  April  29,1874.  John  A.  Russell,  Clerk."  Schedule  "C  is  a 
schedule  of  drawings,  plans,  etc.,  in  Architect's  department,"  It  is  a  list  of  507  plans,  pictures, 
sketches,  etc.,  etc.,  which  accompanied  the  transfer  and  are  now  in  the  Architect's  department, 
being  "  the  plans  heretofore  adopted  for  a  permanent  building  as  contemplated  by  an  Act  of  the 
Legislature  of  the  State  of  California  to  provide  for  the  erection  of  a  New  City  Hall  in  the  city  and 
county  of  San  Francisco,"  as  set  forth  in  Section  1  of  the  Act  of  March  24,  1876. 

On  June  3,  1876,  in  conformity  with  the  Act,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board,  and  in  a  careful  exam- 
ination of  the  plans,  specifications,  drawings  and  conditions  of  contract,  Mr.  Burnett  offered  the 
following,  viz: 

"RESOLVED,  That  the  drawings,  specifications  and  conditions  of  contract,  prepared  by  the 
Architect,  aud  which  have  been  examined  by  the  Superintendent  of  Works,  for  the  inside  work  of 
the  Hall  of  Records  of  the  New  City  Hall  aud  the  exterior  work  for  the  same,  as  is  shown  and  de- 
scribed on  the  drawings  and  in  the  specifications  aforesaid,  be  and  are  hereby  adopted  and  the  Sec- 
retary is  hereby  directed  to  advertise  as  required  by  law  for  thg  furnishing  of  the  material  and  the 
performance  of  the  work  therein  specified  " 

This  was  the  first  advertisement  for  bids  under  the  new  Act,  and  was  intended  as  a  precedent 
so  that  future  Boards  should  strictly  comply  with  Section  14  of  the  Act,  that  "  no  change  or  modifi- 
cation in  the  plans  and  specifications  shall  be  made  after  proposals  for  doing  work  or  furnishing 
materials  have  been  called  for." 

This  Board  does  not  follow  the  precedent. 


WORK  DONE  DURING  THE  FISCAL  YEAR  1876-1877. 

On  the  25th  of  July,  1876,  ten  contracts  for  finishing  the  Hall  of  Records  were  entered  into  and 
executed,  and  the  interior  and  exterior  of  the  Hall  of  Records  was  during  the  fiscal  year  completed. 
The  vestibule  and  outer  offices  to  the  same  were  built,  and  also  the  open  corridor  connecting  the 
Record  Hall  with  the  main  building.  The  structure  was  handed  over  to  the  County  Recorder  about 
May  1,  1877,  as  finished. 

SUPERSTRUCTURE-MAIN  BUILDING.

During  the  same  fiscal  year,  on  the  main  building,  contracts  were  let  and'  the  walls  of  the  east 
wing  and  greater  portion  of  the  McAllister  street  front,  including  the  center  portico,  were  built  to 
their  full  height,  and  the  greater  part  of  this  portion  of  the  building  was  roofed  in.  Other  work 
finished  in  1877  was  the  square  brick  tower  on  the  east  wing.  The  finished  part  of  the  sub-basement 
was  further  excavated  and  paved,  and  openings  cut  in  the  walls  of  same,  to  prepare  it  instead  of  the 
basement,  as  was  originally  contemplated,  for  receiving  the  heating  and  ventilating  apparatus  under 
the  system  of  Baker,  Smith  &  Co.,  of  New  York,  and  the  heating  and  ventilating  flues  were  cut  in 
the  brickwork  or  carried  down  by  tin  flues  Jo  the  required  level.

Other  work  consisted  of  finishing  the  corrugated  iron  arching  between  the  iron  joists  in  the 
basement  and  first  stories,  and  laying  concrete  to  form  floors  on  same. 

Much  work  was  done  in  iron  furring  and  lathing  for  the  third  story  ceiling  of  this  part  of  the 
building,  and  also  for  part  of  the  iron  arching  for  floors,  furring  for  partitions  and  bracking  for 
cornices. 

WORK  IN  1877-78. 

During  the  fiscal  year  of  1877-78  the  two  iron  towers  over  the  McAllister  street  portico  were 
hoisted  and  set  in  position,  and  the  iron  staircase  and  steps  in  this  part  of  the  building  put  up.  The 
four  boilers  under  the  Treasurer's  Office  for  heating  and  ventilating  purposes  and  to  run  the 
elevators,  were  contracted  for  and  set  in  in  brickwork.  The  plumbing  and  gasfitting  work  for  the 
same  part  of  building  was  completed. 

This  fiscal  year  also  witnessed  the  building  of  the  east  wing  elevator,  at  a  cost  of  $8,975,  and  part 
of  the  heating  and  ventilating  apparatus.  The  coin  vault  and  book  vault  for  the  Treasury  was  also 
built.  In  short  the  east  wing  and  that  part  of  the%  main  building  fronting  on  McAllister  street  ex- 
tending toward  Larkin  street  and  taking  in  the  center  of  the  McAllister  street  front,  ending  just 
west  of  the  entrance,  was  completed  and  the  rooms  fitted  up  for  occupation  and  handed  over  for  use 
to  different  departments. 

This  portion  of  the  building  gave  accommodation  for  the  following  Courts  and  offices,  but  some 
were  placed  in  rooms  only  as  temporary  accommodations,  and  not  as  marked  and  outlined  on  the 
original  plan  adopted  under  the  Act  of  1870  and  ratified  by  the  Act  of  1876,  and  it  was  intended  to 
remove  these  offices  to  the  permanent  location  as  the  Hall  should  be  finished.  Those  which  were 
temporarily  located  in  the  Hall  and  were  to  be  moved  to  their  permanent  quarters  when  finished, 
are  as  follows  : 

The  Mayor,  Board  of  Education,  Grand  Jury,  Commissioners  of  Insanity,  Registrar  of  Voters, 
Auditor,  License  Collector  and  Probate  Court;  and  those  in  addition,  who  were  permanently 
located,  were  :  The  Treasurer,  Assessor,  Tax  Collector,  four  Court  rooms  now  used  by  the  Superior 
Court,  with  their  Judges'  chambers  and  offices. 

The  granite  piers  and  dwarf  walls  for  fencing  on  McAllister  street,  together  with  the  iron  rail- 
ings opposite  the  central  portico,  was  also  built. 

FURNITURE,  CARPETS,  ETC. 

An  Act  entitled  "  An  Act  to  provide  for  the  completion  of  the  building  in  the  city  and  county 
of  San  Francisco  known  as  the  New  City  Hall,"  approved  February  15,  1878,  was  passed,  and  appro- 
priated the  sum  of  $15,000  for  furnishing  certain  parts  of  the  building  finished  at  that  date.  This 
sum  was  used  for  carpets,  furniture,  etc?.,  in  the  Hall  of  Records,  and  the  finished  part  of  the  main 
building  during  1878. 

WORK  IN  1878-79. 

Early  in  the  fiscal  year  1878-79  bids  were  received  and  contracts  awarded  on  drawings  and  speci- 
fications prepared  for  completing  the  walls  of  the  continuation  of  the  McAllister  street  front  beyond 
the  main  entrance  in  the  middle  of  the  building  to  Larkin  street,  and  thence  along  Larkin  street 
for  the  greater  part  of  the  Larkin  street  front.  Also  for  roofing  in  these  parts  of  the  building,  for 
putting  in  the  iron  beams  and  arob.es  and  concrete  floors,  and  for  excavating  the  sub-basement  and 
preparing  it  for  the  heating  and  ventilating  apparatus,  and  also  putting  in  necessary  drain  pipes. 
These  contracts  were  filled  during  the  year  and  the  work  completed.  This  work  also  included  the 
erection  of  the  Corinthian  portico  in  the  center  of  the  Larkin  street  front  and  of  the  two  entrance 
porches  on  each  side  of  the  porticos. 

A  branch  police  station  and  cells  for  temporary  use  was  also  fitted  up  and  occupied  part  of  the 
basement  story,  just  west  of  the  entrance  of  the  McAllister  street  front. 

Contracts  were  let  for  Mayor's  and  adjoining  offices  on  the  south  side  of  the  building,  adjacent 
to  the  grand  entrance  hall  and  rooms  under  same.  When  finished  the  Mayor  was  to  move  from  the 
temporary  rooms  occupied  by  him,  which  form  part  of  the  rooms  on  the  McAllister  street  front,  and 
which  are  ultimately  designed  on  the  original  plan  for  the  Street  Department.

CHAPTEB  VI. 


During  the  fiscal  year  1879-89,  very  little  work  was  performed  as  compared  with  the  former 
fiscal  year. 

The  appropriation  for  the  work  having  been  reduced  by  the  outgoing  Board  of  Supervisors 
from  15  cents  per  $100  of  assessment,  as  contemplated  by  Section  11,  of  the  Act  of  March  24,  1876,  to 
5.35.  This  ultimately  led  to  a  law  sftiit,  finally  adjucated  by  the  courts.  During  this  fiscal  year  the 
Mayor's  and  adjoining  offices  now  occupied  by  the  Secretary  of  this  commission  were  completed  and 
occupied,  as  was  also  the  basement  rooms  under  same,  which  are  temporarily  occupied  by  the 
Street  Department.  The  iron  floor  arching  for  the  basement  and  first  story  of  part  of  Larkin 
street  was  put  in  and  the  concrete  laid  in  same  for  the  basement  floor. 

That  part  of  the  McAllister  street  front  west  of  the  main  entrance,  and  between  the  portico 
and  the  Larkin  street  wing,  was  completed  and  occupied. 

The  steam  pipes  extensively  laid  for  heating  and  other  purposes  in  the  sub-basement  of  the  east 
wing,  and  first  part  of  McAllister  street  front  that  was  finished,  and  being  part  of  the  heating  and 
ventillating  system,  were  covered  with  Yucca  Cement  Pipe  Covering. 

At  the  entrance  of  the  grounds  at  the  gore  of  Park  avenue  and  McAllister  street,  artificial  stone 
was  laid  and  continued  to  the  steps  of  the  Hall  of  Records  and  around  the  external  corridor  of 
same,  across  the  Arcade  to  the  main  building. 

Handsome  granite  piers  and  walls  with  iron  fence,  similar  to  that  erected  heretofore  at  the  main 
entrance  on  McAllister  street,  were  also  erected. 

THE  KALLOCH  BOARD. 

On  December  4th,  1879,  of  this  fiscal  year,  th3  term  of  Mayor  Bryant  and  his  associates,  who 
held  office  as  commissioners  since  the  Act  of  March  21th,  1876,  went  into  eifect,  came  to  a  close,  and 
they  were  succeeded  by  what  was  known  as  the  Kalloch  Board,  consisting  of  Mayor  J.  8.  Kalloch  ; 
Auditor  J.  P.  Dunn,  and  City  and  County  Attorney.  John  L.  Murphy.  On  the  same  day  H. 
Bartling  was  appointed  Secretary,  vice  Geo.  W.  Thomas. 

The  Brj  ant  Board  having  accomplished  the'  work  hereinbefore  set  forth,  paid  out  of  the  City 
Hall  Fund  in  demands  drawn  by  that  Board,  in  payment  of  City  Hall  obligations,  $1,256,449  74, 
which,  added  to  the  expenditures  made  up  to  the  time  of  their  taking  office  as  Commissioners,  on 
April  21,  1876,  which  amounted  to  §1,619,071  95,  makes  a  total  expenditure  of  $2,875,571  69,  together 
with  existing  liabilities  on  current  contracts. 

WORK  IN  1880-81. 

During  the  fiscal  year  1880-81  the  brick-work  of  the  Larkin  street  front  was  completed,  the  iron 
floor  and  roof  beams  put  in  place,  and  this  portion  of  the  building  was  also  roofed  in.  The  two  iron 
towers  over  the  center  portico  of  the  Larkin  street  front  were  built,  as  ajso  the  two  iron  staircases. 
in  this  portion  of  the  building. 

Contracts  were  also  let  for  completing  the  brick  work,  stone  work,  iron  work,  and  roofing  of  the 
whole  of  the  remainder  of  the  building,  leaving  the  interior  to  be  finished  hereafter,  and  the  end  of 
the  year  saw  this  work  about  completed. 

This  also  embraced  the  building  of  the  walls  of  the  main  tower,  up  to  the  height  of  the  remainder 
of  the  building,  leaving  the  completion  of  the  tower  to  be  hereafter  undertaken. 

The  Kalloch  Board  retired  from  office  about  the  3d  day  of  December,  1881,  and  had  drawn 
demands  in  payments  for  claims  for  constructing  the  City  Hall,  amounting  to  $415,243.49,  which* 
when  added  to  §1,256,449,74  paid  in  demands  by  the  Bryant  Board,  made  a  total  expenditure  of 
$1,671,693  23,  under  the  Act  of  1876,  and  left  about  $24,121.06  for  their  successors  in  office  to  apply 
on  contracts  then  unfinished. 

The  end  of  the  fiscal  year  on  June  30,  1881,  ended  the  15  per  cent,  ad  valorem  tax  under  the  Act 
of  1876,  except  the  small  amounts  that  would  annually  come  in  on  the  delinquent  tax  list  that 
would  go  to  the  credit  of  this  fund. 


NEW  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONERS.  781 


THE  BLAKE  BOARD. 

On  December  10th,  1881,  the  new  Board  consisting  of  the  Honorable  M.  C.  Blake,  Mayor  ;  J.  F. 
Cowdery,  City  and  County  Attorney,  and  H.  Brickwedel,  Auditor,  met  and  organized  with  M.  C. 
Blake,  President,  and  H.  Bartling,  Secretary. 

It  was 

RESOLVED,  "  That  after  the  completion  of  the  contracts  now  let,  the  new  City  Hall  Commission- 
ers and  all  employees  (except  two  gardeners)  will  not  be  entitled  to  receive  pay  for  services  until 
provision  is  made  by  law  for  the  resumption  of  work." 

It  will  be  remembered  that  on  January  31st,  1874,  Architects  Farquharson  and  Gaynor  reported 
to  the  Board  of  Supervisors  that :  "  The  total  cost  of  the  building  would  be  the  sum  of  §4,864,060.00 
******  and  the  time  required  to  complete  the  work  as  above  would 
be  three  years  and  a  half."  But  they  further  said:  "  The  cost  of  finishing  the  building  in  part 
(in  addition  to  work  done  to  date),  so  far  as  to  render  it  fit  for  occupation  by  the  municipal  and 
Comity  officers,  omitting  for  the  present  the  two  McAllister  street  wings,  etc.,  the  towers,  the 
porticos,  the  granite  steps,  the  exterior  cement  work,  the  tower  hall  dome,  the  central  court 
piazzas,  *  *  .*  the  boundary  fence  and  work  on  grounds  would  be  the  sum  of 

§1,703,354  ;   and  the  time  required  for  the  execution  of  that  amount  of  work  would  be  two  years." 

No  legislation  was  had,  however,  to  raise  further  funds  until  March  24th,  1876,  when,  by  Section 
11,  it  was  provided  that,  "  for  the  purpose  of  raising  the  money  necessary  to  complete  said  building, 
the  said  Board  of  Supervisors  are  hereby  authorized  and  empowered  to  levy  and  collect  annually 
for  the  fiscal  year  commencing  July  1st,  1876,  and  ending  June  30th,  1877,  and  for  each  and  every 
fiscal  year  thereafter,  during  the  four  fiscal  years  next  ensuing  in  the  same  manner  and  at  the  same 
time  as  other  taxes  in  said  city  and  county  are  levied  and  collected,  on  ad  valorem  property  tax  on 
real  and  personal  property  within  said  city  and  county,  of  fifteen  cents  on  each  one  hundred  dollars 
of  value  as  shown  by  the  assessment  roll  of  said  city  and  county  for  the  current  fiscal  year." 

Under  the  Act  approved  April  3,  1876,  authorizing  sale  of  bonds,  and  March  24,  1876,  relative  to 
taxes,  there  was  paid  into  the  City  Hall  Fund,  as  set  forth  above,  the  following,  viz: 

Amount  received  for  sale  of  bonds,  Act  of  April  3,  1876 $207,408  44 

Amount  received  from  taxes  1876-77,  15  per  cent 353,331  72 

Amount  received  from  taxes  1877-78,  15  per  cent 347,633  67 

Amount  received  from  taxes  1878-79,  15  per  cent 340,702  92 

Amount  received  from  taxes  1879-80,  5  35-100  per  cent 114,072  19 

Amount  received  from  taxes  1880-81,  15  per  cent 332,655  35 

Total §1,695,814  29 

The  architect's  estimate  was,  for  finishing  the  building  in  part,  §1,703,354,  and  the  Legislature 
allowed  §1,695,814  29;  and,  as  we  have  seen,  a  great  part  of  the  structure  was  finished,  at  least  far 
enough  to  be  occupied,  under  that  statute  and  appropriation. 


CHAPTER  VII. 

As  the  new  Constitution  of  1879-80  prohibited  special  legislation,  it  was  found  until  the  Supreme 
Court  had  agreed  upon,  the  real  status  of  the  street  cases,  that  no  relief,  for  the  present,  at  least , 
could  be  granted  by  the  Legislature,  so  as  to  have  more  funds  provided  for  finishing  the  Hall. 

The  Board  of  Supervisors,  however,  came  to  the  relief  of  the  Blake  Board  of  New  City  Hall 
Commissioners,  and  on  the  12th  of  April,  1832,  there  was  a  communication  received  and  filed  notify- 
ing the  Commissioners  that  §50,000  had  been  transferred  from  the  General  Fund  to  the  New  City 
Hall  Fund.  Contract  No.  155,  for  painting  external  iron  and  wood  work,  and  to  preserve  the  same, 
ended  all  contracts  under  the  old  appropriation. 

Work  again  went  on  during  fiscal  year  1832-83,  under  the  transfer  of  §50,000. 

WORK  IN  1882-83. 

On  July  15,  1882,  after  advertising  for  bids,  a  contract  was  awarded  as  Contract  No.  156,  for  com- 
pleting internal  work  of  part  of  the  Larkin  street  front  for  §28,919  00,  and  on  the  28th  of  December, 


782  KEPOET  OF  THE  BOARD  OF 

188^all  that  part  of  the  third  story  of  the  Larkin  street  wing,  containing  the  Law  Library,  two- 
temporary  court  rooms  and  five  other  rooms,  having  been  completed,  were  turned  over  to  the  Board 
of  Supervisors  for  occupancy. 

At  the  time  Contract  No.  156  was  let,  there  was  also  let  Contract  No.  157,  to  furnish  all  lime 
required  at  $2  10  per  barrel,  and  contract  No.  158,  at  $4  60  per  barrel  for  Portland  cement  was  also 
let.  This  material  was  used  under  Contract  No.  156  and  contract  No.  159,  for  completing  the  inter- 
nal work  of  part  of  the  second  story  of  the  Larkin  street  front,  containing  two  court  rooms,  one 
temporary  court  room,  three  Judges'  chambers,  and  the  contract  price  was  512,282,  and  completed 
January  4,  1883. 

On  September  5,  1882,  the  resignation  of  Secretary  Bartling  was  accepted,  and  to  the  end  of  the 
term  Mayor  M.  C.  Blake  was  President  and  acting  Secretary  of  the  Board  under  Section  3  of  the  Act 
of  1876.  The  Blake  Board  retired  from  office  January  6,  1883,  having  drawn  demands  amounting  to 
$75,398  24  in  two  years,  covering  salaries  and  expenses  on  contracts. 

THE  BARTLETT  BOARD. 

The  next  Board  was  composed  of  Washington  Bartlett,  Mayor;  Wni.  Craig,  City  and  County 
Attorney,  and  Wm.  M.  Edgar,  Auditor.  This  Board  organized  with  the  Mayor  as  President,  and 
JohnT.  Washington  as  Secretary  pro  tern,  on  January  20,  1883.  The  fiscal  year  1882-83  realized 
from  delinquent  taxes  $11,023.90,  paid  in  chiefly  during  the  latter  part  of  1883,  and  part  of  which 
was  applicable  to  unfinished  contracts. 

At  the  first  meeting  of  the  Bartlett  Board  it  was  resolved,  "  That  the  City  Hall  Commissioners,, 
there  being  no  money  in  the  fund,  hereby  remit  their  salaries  until  further  order  of  the  Board,"  and 
thereupon  adjourned  to  May  20, 1883,  when  it  wasr  esolved,"  That  the  following  claims  against  the  New 
City  Hall  Fund  for  salaries  be  and  the  same  are  hereby  allowed  from  January  8, 1883,  to  May  1, 1883  : 

Washington  Bartlett $370  76 

William  Craig 370  76 

.      Wm.  M.  Edgar 370  76 


Total $1, 112  28  " 

and  thereafter  during  the  torms  each  month  saw  all  salaries  audited  and  paid  with  great  regularity. 

The  fiscal  year  1883-84  realized  $14,084.74  from  delinquent  taxes.  John  M.  Curtis  having  been 
appointed  architect  on  January  17,  1884,  contract  No.  160  was  awarded  to  J.  K.  Dalmas  for  work  on 
the  Larkin  street  front  for  $12,700,  and  Henry  S.  Martin  was  to  furnish  necessary  Benecia  cement  at 
$2.20  per  barrel ;  Davis  &  Cowell,  Portland  cement,  at  $3.50  per  barrel,  and  Rosendale  cement  at 
$2.50  per  barrel,  and  theH.  T.  Holmes  Lime  Company,  the  lime  at  $1.50  per  barrel,  as  the  material 
was  needed  for  Dalmas'  work.  These  contracts  were  finished,  but  the  successors  of  J.  K.  Dalmas 
are  now  attempting  to  collect  through  the  Superior  Court  a  balance  claimed  as  due.  This  work 
included  the  opening  of  an  entrance  to  the  New  City  Hall  from  Larkin  street,  and  the  completion  of 
the  stairway  from  the  second  floor  to  the  top  of  the  building  in  that  wing.  About  two  hundred  feet 
of  the  main  McAllister  street  corridor  was  laid  in  marble  and  cement,  and  eight  large  rooms  on  th& 
lower  floor  and  one  adjoining  the  Law  Library  were  completed  about  July,  1884. 

This  concluded  all  the  work  done  by  the  Bartlett  Board,  and  with  the  salaries  for  the  two  years 
about  exhausted  all  the  money  in  the  Fund.  The  Board  drew  warrants  for  §21,919.48,  paying  $9,000 
on  the  Dalmas  contract  and  balance  chiefly  for  their  salaries. 

SECOND   BARTLETT   BOARD. 

On  January  7, 1885,  the  second  Bartlett  Board,  consisting  of  Washington  Bartlett,  Mayor,  John 
Lord  Love,  City  and  County  Attorney,  Fleet  F.  Strother,  Auditor,  met.  Mr.  Jno.  T.  Washington  con- 
tinued to  act  as  Secretary  pro  tern.  At  this  meeting  "  Commissioner  Strother  presented  a  protest  in 
writing  against  the  legality  of  any  action  which  the  Commissioners  might  take  on  the  ground  that  it, 
ceased  to  exist  on  the  first  Monday  in  July,  1881,  and  moved  that  the  Commission  proceed  to  turn 
over  the  unfinished  portion  of  the  New  City  Hall  and  such  property  as  might  be  under  the  control 
of  said  Commission  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors."  The  motion  was  lost,  but  it  had  a  good  effect,  for 
during  the  succeeding  term  of  two  years  of  this 'Board  no  meeting  was  held  and  no  money  paid  for. 
salaries  or  otherwise  out  of  the  balance  of  $3,400  on  hand. 


NEW  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONERS.  78? 


CHAPTER  VIII. 


The  Supreme  Court  having  decided  the  street  cases,  and  the  Legislature  having  passed  general 
laws  applicable  to  San  Francisco,  an  Act  was  introduced  entitled  as  follows,  viz: 

"An  Act  to  provide  for  the  completion  of  all  unfinished  county,  city,  city  and  county,  town  and 
township  buildings  in  the  several  counties,  cities  and  counties,  cities  and  towns  throughout  the 
State  of  California,"  which  was  passed  and  approved  March  10,  1887. 

Section  1  is  in  substance  a  repetition  of  Section  11  of  the  Act  of  March  24,  1876,  but  made  the 
levy  not  to  exceed  ten  cents  for  five  fiscal  years,  instead  of  fifteen  cents  on  the  one  hundred  dollars 
of  value  as  shown  by  the  assessment  roll. 

Section  2  provides  that  all  laws  in  force,  etc.,  are  hereby  continued  in  force  anl  effect.  This  is 
all  of  the  Act 

THE  PRESENT  BOARD. 

On  July  5,  1887,  the  Board,  consisting  of  E.  B.  Pond,  Mayor,  George  Flournoy,  Jr.,  City  and 
County  Attorney,  and  F.  F.  Strother,  Auditor,  met  and  organized  under  the  supplemental  Act  of 
March  10,  1887.  John  T.  Washington  was  appointed  Secretary,  and  Augustus  Laver  Architect. 
Robert  Boyd  was  subsequently  appointed  Superintendent  of  Construction.. 

On  September  13,  1887,  contract  No.  1  was  awarded  to  Michael  Joseph  Kelly,  for  §95,999,  to 
complete  the  Hall  of  Records,  including  the  arcade  connecting  it  with  the  main  building,  to  cement 
the  outer  walls  of  the  Record  Hall  and  main  building,  to  supply  and  fit  the  necessary  doors  and 
windows,  and  cement  and  complete  the  inner  court.  This  contract  was  finished  and  conditionally 
accepted  as  completed  on  August  27,  1888.  From  the  nature  of  the  work  it  gave  the  New  City  Hall 
more  of  a  finished  appearance  than  it  had  ever  had  before,  apparently  changing  the  outward 
appearance  for  the  first  time  from  a  ruin  of  brick  walls,  with  but  few  windows  and  "sans  every- 
thing," to  a  massive  looking  structure  not  unpleasing  to  the  eye. 

November  26,  1887,  contract  No.  2,  for  $68,400,  was  awarded  to  McGowan  &  Butler  for  com- 
pleting part  of  the  first,  second  and  third  stories  of  the  Larkin  street  front  and  the  return  wing 
toward  the  main  tower.  This  contract  was  finished  and  accepted  September  7,  1888,  and  gave 
accommodation  in  the  Larkin  street  wing  on  the  first  floor  to  five  Justices'  Courts,  Clerk's  Office  and 
Justice  of  the  Peace  chambers;  also  new  quarters  for  License  Collector,  one  criminal  branch  of  the 
Superior  Court  and  chambers;  and  on  the  return  corridor,  toward  the  main  tower,  the  Health 
Officer's  Department  and  the  Sheriff's  Office;  and  on  the  second  floor  over  this  corridor  another 
Department  of  the  Superior  Court  with  accessory  offices  and  Grand  Jury  rooms,  while  on  the  Larkiu 
street  wing  were  fitted  up  offices  for  the  District  Attorney's  Department  and  Public  Library 
While  on  the  third  boor,  over  all,  were  a  number  of  offices  finished,  together  with  the  finishing  of 
the  several  corridors  in  cement.  Registers  for  the  heating  and  ventilating  system  were  carried  inta 
the  corridors  and  main  rooms.  The  same  day  another  contract  was  awarded  to  McGowan  &  Butler 
as  contract  No.  4,  for  $32,600,  for  work  on  the  main  tower,  and  dated  November  26,  1887.  This  con- 
tract was  completed  and  accepted  by  the  Commissioners  on  June  30,  1888.  The  work  consisted  of 
masonry  and  brickwork  for  foundation  for  the  first  section  of  the  main  tower  of  the  New  City  Hallr 
including  all  labor  and  materials.  The  granite  blocks  were  to  be  set  on  the  concrete  foundation, 
which  is  six  feet  thick  at  this  point. 

January  17,  1888,  contract  No.  3,  for  furnishing  fifteen  iron  columns  and  one  tier  of  rolled  iron 
joists,  was  awarded  to  O'Connell  &  Lewis  for  part  of  the  main  tower.  The  contract  price  was  $31,600, 
and  was  finished  and  accepted  November  30,  1888. 

The  work  was  cast  and  wrought-iron  for  building  the  first  section  of  the  main  tower,  as  shown 
on  the  plans  for  said  main  tower  under  the  supervision  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners. 

On  January  17,  1888,  there  was  awarded  to  Degan  &  Orford  contract  No.  5,  for  $5,528,  to  con- 
struct the  granite  steps  on  the  north  and  south  side  and  leading  to  the  arcade  between  the  Hall  of 
Records  and  main  building.  This  contract  was  completed  and  accepted  August  8,  1888. 

There  was  awarded  to  the  Risdon  Iron  and  Locomotive  Works,  on  July  24,  1888,  contract  No.  6, 
for  fifteen  cast-iron  columns,  joists,  etc.,  according  to  drawings.  The  contract  price  was  $49,875, 
and  was  completed  and  accepted  in  1889. 

This  cast  and  wrought-iron  work  was  required  to  be  done  and  materials  furnished  in  constructing 
the  lower  portion  of  the  main  tower,  consisting  of  the  second  tier  of  cast-iron  columns  of  the  main 


784  REPORT  OP  THE  BOARD  OF 


entrance  hall,  two  tiers  of  gallery  joists,  and  the  large  wrought-lron  girders  for  carrying  the  frame 
work  of  the  main  tower,  and  resulted  in  building  same  to  a  height  of  some  eighty-six  feet  from  base 
or  on  a  line  with  the  present  roof  of  the  main  building. 

On  April  30,  1883,  "  The  architect  was  instructed  to  prepare  working  plans  and  specifications  for 
the  tower,  also  the  wrought  iron  work,  consisting  of  iron  joists  and  beams  of  the  gallery  floors."  This 
action  led  to  the  following  proceedings  : 

Commissioner  Strother  offered  the  following  resolution  August  27, 1888,  viz  : 
"  WHEREAS,  The  question  of  the  construction  of  the  miin  Tower,  commensurate  with  and  cor- 
responding to  the  height  of  the  New  City  Hall,  is  an  important  factor  which  should  be  intelligently 
and  scientifically  determined,  so  that  the  erection  of  said  towerjshould  be  in  accord  with  architectural 
standards,  and 

WHEREAS,  Criticisms  have  appeared  inimical  to  a  tower  of  the  height  "corresponding  with  the 
views  of  the  architect  of  the  building,  and 

WHEREAS,  It  is  the  duty  of  this  Board,  in  their  desire  to  have  said  New  City  Hall  building 
properly  constructed  and  completed,  to  obtain  authoritative  and  scientific  opinions  on  such  an 
important  feature  as  the  proposed  tower,  its  height,  etc.,  prior  to  any  proceedings  taken,  therefore  : 

RESOLVED,  That  the  San  Francisco  Chapter  of  the  American  Institute  of  Architects  be,  and 
they  are  hereby  respectfully  requested  (and  after  consideration)  to  report  to  this  Board  at  their  earliest 
convenience  their  views  as  to  the  height  the  main  tower  of  said  building  should  be  constructed,  with 
such  other  information  relative  thereto  as  in  their  judgment  may  be  pertinent.  *  *  *  * 

RESOLVED,  That  all  further  proceedings  in  the  matter  of  the  erection  of  said  main  tower  be  dis- 
continued until  the  views  of  said  architects  are  received. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  reading  of  the  foregoing  preamble  and  resolutions,  Commissioner  Strother 
moved  that  the  following  civil  engineers  be  requested  to  give  their  views  to  the  Board  concerning  the 
construction  of  tne  New  City  Hall :  A.  W.  Von  Schmidt,  Col.  Geo.  Mendell,  Calvin  H.  Brown,  Lyinan 
Bridges,  Marsdon  Mauson,  Herman  Schussler. 

The  resolutions  were  adopted,  including  the  addendum  inviting  the  civil  engineers. 


CHAPTER  IX. 

Pursuant  to  the  foregoing  request  the  several  parties  were  notified  on  August  28,  1838,  and 
reports  were  subsequently  received. 

Mr.  Lyman  Bridges,  civil  engineer,  said  of  the  construction  of  the  main  tower  that  he  had  care- 
iully  examined  the  foundations,  etc.,  as  already  constructed  ;  also  plans  and  details  for  its  com- 
pletion *  *  *  * 

The  foundation  bed  consisted  of  concrete  six  feet  thick,  which  extended  under  the  entire  tower 
and  from  tec  to  twelve  feet  beyond  the  outside  brick  wall  of  the  tower,  from  the  bottom  of  which  to 
the  ground  line  is  sixteen  feet,  and  from  the  ground  line  to  the  floor  gallery,  at  the  top  of  the  dome 
389  feet,  and  from  the  ground  line  to  the  top  of  the  figure  on  the  top  of  the  tower,  including  the 
lantern  and  figure  it  is  453  feet  in  height.  *  *  *  .  *  The  brick  walls  and  piers  seem  to 
have  been  well  constructed  and  are  sufficient  to  carry  ten  times  the  weight  called  for  by  the  plans, 

*  *       *       *       while  the  inner  columns  have  their  load  concentrated  upon  the  granite  piers 
resting  on  concrete  foundations  six  feet  thick.       *       *       *       *       Square  with  Park  avenue  front, 
resting  upon  large  steel  beams,  is  placed  the  main  steel  frame,  sixty-four  feet  square. 

On  this  frame  will  be  built  the  square  tower  running  thence  seven  stories  to  the  main  dome.      *      * 

*  *      Above  the  seventh  story  of  the  tower,  wrought  iron  or  steel  frame  work  will  be  used  for  that 
dome.        *       *       *       *       From  an  examination  of  the  elevation  and  plans,  it  appears  that  the 
height  of  the  tower  was  in  keeping  with  the  French  Renaissance  style  of  architecture  adopted  at  one 
time  when  an  additional  story  above  the  present  main  cornice  with  mansard  roof  was  adopted 
which  additional  story  would  be  about  forty  feet  in  the  clear,  well  lighted  from  the  sides  and 
ceilings,  thus  making  excellent  halls  and  rooms  for  court  rooms,  Free  Public  Libraries,  Law  Library, 
etc.,  which  in  this  growing  city  will  be  continually  required,  and  in  which  case  a  tower  of  the  height, 
now  designated  would  not  be  out  of  proportion.   The  roof  of  the  present  building  is  only  a  temporary

My  recommendation  is  to  build  two  or  four  of  the  seven  thirty-six  foot  stories  of  the  main 
tower  above  the  iron  columns  no  win  place— thus  permitting  the  completion  of  the  main  entrance

•galleries,  etc.,  connected  with  the  present  buildings  and  the  inner  or  lower  dome  over  the  said  circular 
entrance,  of  sufficient  stability  to  support  and  fordf  a  part  of  the  seven  stories  contemplated,  so  that 
when  the  McAllister  street  wings  and  the  mansard  story  shall  have  been  completed,  the  towercould 
then  be  completed.  *  *  *  *  The  iron  and  steel  work  will  support  several  times  the  weight 
required,  so  that  your  Hon.  Board  can  safely  erect  the  tower  in  sections  or  stories  as  may  be  required 
by  the  present  and  future  progress  of  this  building  and  city.

About  this  time  bids  were  received  for  four,  five,  six  or  seven  stories,  the  lowest  of  which  was 
for  four  (4)  stories,  $108,500;  five  stories,  $129,300;  six  stories,  $147,400;  seven  stories,  $164,200.  The 
c  ost  of  two  stories,  then,  at  above  ratio,  would  not  exceed  $45,000,  and  after  placing  the  inner  or 
lower  dome  in  place  the  top  of  the  second  story  could  be  temporarily  covered  with  a  similar  roof  to 
that  at  present  on  the  whole  building,  and  the  interior  of  the  main  entrance  finished.  This  would 
not  cost  more  now  than  at  some  future  date,  and  the  whole  building  would  have  a  finished  appear- 
ance, and  until  it  was  settled  whether  to  have  a  mansard  roof  or  not  and  which  must  ultimately 
determine  how  high  a  main  tower  will  be  built.  This  policy  would  also  permit  the  approaches  or 
corridors  leading  to  the  main  tower,  and  offices,  to  be  finished,  such  as  those  over  the  Mayor's  Office 
on  the  second  and  third  floors,  and  designated  on  the  original  plans  as  apportioned  to  the  Board  of 
Education  and  others.  On  the  authority  of  Mr.  Lyman  Bridges  and  the  late  architect,  as  appears 
from  the  minutes  and  records  of  the  Board,  the  building  of  four  stories  would  not  be  too  much  unti  1 
the  final  height  is  determined,  provided,  however,  that  a  square  style  of  tower  must  be  built.  The 
total  height  of  this  tower  would  be  453  feet,  while  the  square  tower  on  the  City  Hall  of  Philadelphia 
is  537  feet,  and  upon  a  building  that  covers  less  area, 

On  September  26,  1887,  the  report  of  the  San  Francisco  Chapter,  American  Institute  of  Archi- 
tects, based  upon  a  report  of  a  committee  of  that  body,  was  received,  which  had  been  adopted  by 
the  Chapter.  They  reported  :  *  *  *  "  They  considered  that  the  design  submitted  by  Mr.  Laver 
for  the  New  City  Hall  tower  is  in  itself  well  adapted  in  its  external  architectural  features  to 
complete  and  adorn  the  building  to  which  it  is  to  be  added.  The  height,  which  has  been  never- 
theless called  in  question,  is  considerable,  but  is  not  in  the  opinion  of  the  committee  in  excess  of 
the  proportions  permissable  in  so  vast  a  structure  as  that  to  which  it  is  to  be  applied.  On  the  con- 
trary, in  view  of  the  enormous  frontage  and  other  dimensions  of  the  New  City  Hall,  it  would  be 
difficult  to  fix  an  assignable  limit,  beyond  which  it  would  not  be  possible  to  harmonize  and  pro- 
portion a  structure  of  this  description  under  given  conditions.  They  find  also  that  the  mansard 
roof,  so-called,  in  both  the  modified  as  well  as  the  complete  example,  exhibited  in  the  drawing  sub- 
mitted to  the  committee,  while  serving  to  fill  up  and  prepare  the  structure  for  the  reception  of  the 
tower,  is  by  no  means  indispensable;  at  the  same  time  it  establishes  the  fact  that  should  additional 
space  be  at  any  time  required,  the  same  may  be  obtained  by  its  addition  with  advantage  whenever 
deemed  desirable.  *  *  *  * 

This  brings  your  committee  to  their  last  and  final  position.  While  they  cheerfully  concede  the 
many  points  of  artistic  merit  as  a  whole,  of  both  types  of  design  exhibited  in  Architect  Laver's 
projects  for  the  proposed  tower  of  the  New  City  Hall,  and  while  they  are  quite  ready  to  admit  the 
possibility  of  their  construction  with  safety  and  substantiability  compatable  with  material  of  such  a 
perishable  nature  as  those  rendered  necessary  by  the  adoption  of  the  peculiar  type  of  design  hith- 
erto submitted,  they  are  not  so  ready  to  admit  the  advisability  of  such  a  course;  and  in  view  of  the 
conditions  existing  in  the  present  building— consisting  as  they  do  of  a  great  circular  chamber  some 
80  feet  in  diameter,  surrounded  by  a  massive  brick  wall  and  including  circular  peristyle  of  columns 
some  60  feet  in  diameter  from  centers— they  believe  that  the  possibility  exists  of  erecting  a  perfectly 
unique  structure  in  the  form  of  a  circular  tower  or  "dome  tower,"  which  would  offer  features 
superior  to  any  square  structure  yet  proposed,  and  that  before  either  of  the  designs  before  the  Com- 
missioners are  finally  decided  upon  Mr.  Laver  should  be  requested  to  furnish  as  an  alternative  such 
a  design,  homogeneous  in  material  with  the  existing  building  and  equal  to  it  in  durability  and  as 
free  from  necessity  for  endless  protection  and  renovation.  *  *  *  It  would  be  of  height  propor- 
tioned to  its  possible  diameter,  and  would  compensate  in  dignity  of  material  for  comparative  lack  in 
magnitude,  though  a  tower  or  dome  of  more  than  90  feet  in  outside  diameter  is  one  out  of  which  it 
would  seem  that  a  very  grand  and  imposing  structure  could  surely  be  evolved."  *  * 

COMMENTS. 

If  the  "dome  tower  "  as  recommended  above  could  legally  be  adopted,  similar  in  appearance  to 
that  on  the  Hall  of  Record  it  would  lead  to  the  abandonment  of  the  mansard  roof,  and  in  future

years  as  the  city  grows  this  would  be  regretted.  Not  only  would  much  of  the  work  on  contracts  3,  4' 
and  6  already  performed  under  this  Commission  on  the  tower  that  has  cost  $117,075  be  of  little 
benefit,  but  the  square  steel  frame  constructed  under  contract  No.  6  would  be  useless  and  have  to  be 
taken  down,  as  it  is  simply  for  the  base  of  a  square  tower.  This  proposed  change  cannot  be  recon- 
ciled with  a  reasonable  construction  of  the  Act  of  1876,  relative  to  the  plan  of  the  square  tower 
adopted  by  the  first  Commission. 

Mr.  Calvin  Brown,  civil  engineer,  at  about  the  same  time  made  an  exhaustive  report  on  the  con- 
struction of  the  main  tower,  going  into  details,  supported  by  figures,  and  holding  that  it  was  more 
than  ample  in  strength  to  sustain  all  the  weight  which  could  be  placed  upon  it,  as  also  to  resist  the 
force  of  winds  and  earthquakes  ;  and  was  in  addition  correct  in  perspective  in  connection  with  a 
mansard  roof. 

Mr.  Brown  construes  the  action  of  the  Commission  as  a  professional  retainer,  and  has  presented 
a  bill  for  services  and  commenced  suit.  The  action  is  contested  by  the  Board,  and  one  ground  of  the 
defense  is  quoted  below. 

Touching  the  same  point  raised  in  said  suit  on  September  7,  1889,  several  trustees  of  the  Free 
Public  Library  appeared  before  tne  Board  and  petitioned  that  the  library  be  assigned  the  second 
and  third  floors  of  the  eastern  McAllister  street  wing,  known  and  designated  on  the  adopted  plan  as 
the  Public  Assembly  Hall. 

Commissioner  Strother  opposed  the  application  and  cited  Sections  7  and  9  of  the  Act  of  1870,  and 
the  records  of  the  Commission  confirmed  by  Sections  1,  11  and  13  of  the  Act  of  1876,  and 
moved  that  the  application  be  denied  for  the  reason  that  it  is  in  contravention  of  law.  The  motion 
prevailed. 

The  following  is  the  extract  above  referred  to  from  the  suit  of  Calvin  Brown  subsequently  filed.viz: 

"And  for  another  and  separate  defense  to  said  action,  defendants  allege  that  by  an  act  of  the 
Legislature  of  this  State,  approved  April  4, 1870,  the  then  Governor  of  this  State  was  authorized  to 
appoint  three  persons,  citizens  of  San  Francisco,  to  serve  as  a  Board  of  Commissioners  for  the 
erection  of  a  City  Hall  in  and  for  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  which  Board  it  was  by  said 
Act  declared  should  be  known  as  the  Board  of  City  Hall  Commissioners.  *  *  *  *  They  appointed 
an  architect,  who,  under  the  direction  and  control  of  said  Commission  prepared  plans  and  specifica- 
tions for  said  New  City  Hall  and  adopted  the  same  as  the  permanent  plans  and  specifications 
according  to  which  said  Hall  should  be  constructed.  *  *  *  *  That  afterwards  by  an  Act  or 
the  Legislature  of  this  State,  approved  March  24,  1876,  under  and  by  the  authority  of  which  said 
defendant  is  and  these  defendants  are  now  acting,  the  Mayor,  City  and  County  Attorney  and  Audit  o 
of  said  City  and  County  and  their  successors  were  constituted  the  Board  of  New  City  Hall  Commis- 
sioners, and  they  were  as  such  Board  authorized,  empowered  and  directed  to  proceed  with  the  con- 
struction of  said  New  City  Hall  according  to  the  plans  theretofore  adapted  for  said  building  (meaning 
the  plans  above  mentioned),  and  in  no  other  way  That  said  plans  and  specifications  and  drawings 
of  sa'd  buildings  made  according  to  and  to  fully  illustrate  said  plans  are  made,  and  since  their 
adoption  have  been  on  file  in  the  office  of  defendant  and  defendants  and  its  and  their  predecessors. 

That  by  the  terms  of  said  Act  and  by  all  authority  given  to  it  and  defendants  by  law,  said  Board 
was  limited  in  its  power  to  completing  said  building  according  to  said  plans.  * 

"Wherefore  defendant  asks  that  the  prayer  of  plaintiff 's "complaint  may  in  all  things  be  denied, 
and  that  it  and  they  have  judgment  for  its  and  their  costs.

NEW  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONERS.  787 


CHAPTER  X. 


t  Under  Section  7  of  the  Act  of  April  4, 1870:  "The  said  Board  of  Commissioners,  immediately 
after  the  grading  of  said  park  tract  is  completed,  shall  proceed  to  contract  for,  superintend  and 
erect  a  City  Hall  for  the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco.  *  *  *  *  They  shall  adopt 
such  plans  for  the  erection  of  said  City  Hall  as  in  their  judgment  best  calculated  to  serve  the  pur- 
pose of  said  city  and  county,  having  in  view  the  necessity  of  producing  a  permanent  building,  which 
will  furnish  sufficient  and  suitable  rooms  to  accommodate  the  different  courts  and  boards  ot  the 
city  and  county  officers,  Hall  of  Records,  and  also  officers  of  the  said  city  and  county." 

Section  9  provides  :  "  Said  Commissioners  shall,  as  soon  as  such  plans  and  specifications  have 
been  made  and  adopted,  advertise  for  proposals  for  building  said  City  Hall,  according  to  such  plans 
and  specifications." 

As  we  have  seen,  under  the  Act  of  March,  30,  1874,  the  first  Board  of  Commissioners  was 
ordered  to  deliver  the  site,  superstructure,  books,  plans,  etc.,  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  and  when 
the  Cannavan  Board  complied  with  the  provisions  of  that  Act,  among  other  things  they  delivered 
"Exhibit  C,  Schedule  of  Drawings,  Plans,  etc.,  in  Architect's  Department,"  and  which  contained  a 
list  of  and  was  accompanied  with  507  drawings,  pictures,  etc,,  of  the  adopted  plan.  Receipts  for 
these  were  taken,  dated  April  29,  1874,  signed  by  Mayor  Otis  and  spread  upon  the  minutes.  This  list 
of  drawings  contains  detail  plans  descriptive  of  the  main  tower  referred  to  in  the  report  of  Mr. 
Bridges  and  others,  to  wit: 

No.  481,  plan  of  main  tower  at  base  of  dome  ;  4  feet  to  1  inch. 

No.  482,  section  of  main  tower,  lower  part ;  4  feet  to  1  inch. 

No.  483,  section  of  main  tower,  upper  part ;  4  feet  to  1  inch. 

No.  484,  section  of  main  tower,  upper  part  and  dome  ;  4  feet  to  1  inch. 

Other  plans  show  the  basement,  first,  second  and  third  floors  respectively,  and  take  in  the  entire 
building,  including  the  two  McAllister  street  wings,  and  designate  the  size  of  and  where  each  office 
and  department  is  to  be  located.  The  following  is  the  entry,  viz  : 

No.  60,  plan  of  basement  story  ;  16  feet  to  1  inch. 

No.  34,  details  of  ground  floor  ;  2  feet  to  1  inch. 

No.  35,  details  of  second  story  ;  2  feet  to  1  inch. 

No.  36,  details  of  third  story ;  2  feet  to  1  inch. 

In  the  same  schedule  we  find,  viz  : 

No.  127,  large  perspective  view  (competitive  drawings). 

No.  128,  large  perspective  view  (competitive  drawings). 

No.  127  is  a  picture  showing  a  perspective  view  of  the  New  City  Hall  which  now  tangs  in  the 
Secretary's  office  in  a  frame  three  feet  by  five  feet,  showing  the  Paik  avenue  front.  The  building 
appears  as  completed,  with  the  mansard  roof  and  main  square  tower  erected. 

No.  128  is  a  match  picture  and  hangs  in  the  Mayor's  Office,  showing  the  McAll'ster  street  front 
The  building  appears  as  completed,  with  the  mansard  roof,  the  two  McAllister  street  wings  and 
main  square  tower  erected.  These  two  pictures  are  part  of  the  history  of  ths  buildiug,  and  the 
balance  of  the  507  drawings  of  Schedule  "  C  "  are  detail  and  other  plans  of  fame. 

An  extract  from  the  minutes  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners  shows  that  at  a  meeting  held 
February  23, 1871,  about  twelve  days  after  the  plan  "  Ne  Vile  Fano  "  received  the  first  premium,  the 
following  was  adopted,  viz :  On  motion  of  Mr.  Eastland,  it  was 

"  RESOLVED,  That  Snow  &  Ross  be  allowed  the  privilege  of  displaying  the  two  perspective  and 
isometric  views  of  the  adopted  plan'  in  their  store  on  Kearny  street." 

The  public  remembers  seeing  these  pictures,  Nos.  127  and  128,  at  that  store. 

The  Act  of  March  24,  1876,  under  which  this  Board  is  also  acting,  provided  in  Section  1 :  The 
Mayor,  City  and  County  Attorney  and  Auditor,  *  and  their  successors  in  office,  *  shall  consti- 
tute a  Board  of  New  City  Hall  Commissioners,  *  and  the  said  Board  are  hereby  authorized 
empowered  and  directed  to  take  possession  of  the  premises  *  and  improvements  thereon,  and  to 
proceed  with  the  construction  of  the  building  on  said  premises  known  as  the  New  City  Hall  accord- 
ing to  the  plans  heretofore  adopted  for  a  permanent  building  as  contemplated  by  an  Act  of  the 
Legislature  of  the  State  of  California,  to  provide  for  the  erection  of  a  City  Hall  in  the  city  and

county  of  San  Francisco,  approved  April  4, 1870.    And  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  city  and 
county  of  San  Francisco  are  hereby  authorized,  empowered  and  directed  to  turn  over  and  deliver  to 
the  Board  of  New  City  Hall  Commissioners,  all  and  singular,  the  site,  superstructure  and  material 
o  F  said  City  Hall,  as  well  as  all  the  plans,  specifications,  books,  papers,  contract  rights,          * 
ai  id  property  of  every  description  and  nature  belonging  to  same. 

Section  11  provides  :  "  In  event  that  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  city  and  county  of  San 
Francisco  shall  deem  it  expedient  to  continue  the  construction  of  the  New  City  Hall  in  the  mode 
and  manner  prescribed  by  this  Act,  they  are  hereby  authorized  and  empowered  to  express  such* 
judgment,  by  resolution  or  order,  in  such  form  as  they  may  deem  proper."  *  And  we  find,  in 
Section  13  :  "  The  first  moneys  coming  into  the  fund  hereby  authorized  to  be  created,  shall  be 
applied  by  the  said  Board  of  Commissioners  to  completing,  so  that  it  may  be  immediately  occupied, 
that  part  of  the  said  City  Hall  which  is  intended  to  be  used  as  the  Hall  of  Records  or  office  of  the 
City  and  County  Recorder;  and  other  moneys  coining  into  the  said  fund  shall  be  expended  as  far  as 
practicable  without  increasing  the  cost  of  the  work,  in  cpmoleting  from  time  to  time  other  parts  o 
the  said  building,  and  the  parts  so  completed  shall  be  used  for  the  purposes  for  which  they  were 
constructed  as  soon  as  they  are  ready  for  occupancy."  . 

Following  the  law  down  to  the  Act  which  gives  this  Board  life,  we  find  that  Section  1  provides 
for  raising  funds  "  to  continue  the  construction  of  any  unfinished  *  *  *  city  and  county  *  * 
building."  And  Section  2  provides  that  "  all  laws  now  in  force,  except  so  far  as  they  relate  to  the 
levy  and  collection  of  taxes  for  the  completion  of  any  *  city  and  county  *  building,  *  are 
hereby  continued  in  full  force  and  effect." 

If  this  Board  of  Commissioners  be  a  ministerial  and  not  a  judicial  body,  it  is  certain  that  the 
square  tower  and  not  the  "  dome  tower  "  will  be  built,  unless  changed  by  the  adoption  of  a  new 
Charter  or  Act  of  the  Legislature. 

The  present  Board  awarded  a  contract  December  27,  1888,  to  Antinelli  &  Doe,  numbered  7,  and 
for  $44,875.  This  was  for|  constructing  the  concrete  bed  and  brick  foundation,  etc.,  for  the  two 
McAllister  street  wings  which  in  1870  had  been  truncated  by  the  first  Board  of  Commissioners  and 
were  by  this  Commission  restored,  as  in  the  original  plan.  The  contract  was  finished  and  accepted 
in  1889. 

On  February  19,  1889,  Antinelli  &  Doe  were  also  awarded  contract  No.  8,  for  the  granite  plinth 
course  of  the  two  McAllister  street  wings,  and  the  work  on  the  Larkin  and  northwest  wing  is  com- 
pleted at  the  contract  cost  of  $7,030,  and  nearing  completion  on  the  northeast  McAllister  street 
wing  at  a  cost  of  $7,385. 


CHAPTEE  XI. 

UNFINISHED  PART  OF  BUILDING. 

On  August  6, 1889.  proposals  were  advertised  for  as  follows  :  For  the  erection  of  the  new  wing 
at  the  corner  of  McAllister  and  Larkin  streets,  on  the  grounds  of  the  New  City  Hall  Reservation, 
above  the  plinth  course.  Bids  were  opened  September  11,1889.  This  work  includes  the  brick, 
stone,  iron  work  and  roof  all  complete,  leaving  the  interior  to  be  finished,  and  contract  to  be  com- 
pleted June  30,  1890.  The  final  award  of  the  contracts  was  made  September  18, 1889;  No.  12  to 
McCann  &  Riddell  and  No.  13  to  McGowan  &  Butler.  This  northwest  McAllister  street  wing,  when 
completed,  will  be  used  principally  for  Police  Department  purposes. 

In  the  basement  will  be  two  large  rooms  for  police  on  duty,  with  entrance  for  officers  ;  also 
Sergeants'  headquarters,  lockers  for  uniforms,  drill-room,  Property  Clerk's  room,  and  stairs  to  sub- 
basement  for  Property  Clerk  and  other  purposes. 

The  first  floor  will  be  used  for  executive  officers  of  the  Police  Department,  two  Police  Courts 
with  Prosecuting  Attorney's  and  Judge's  rooms  attached  to  each,  witness  rooms  and  toilet  rooms. 
The  steps  will  lead  down  to  the  City  Prison  to  be  fitted  up  with  cells  in  the  basement  along  the 
Larkin  street  front  for  some  distance  toward  Park  avenue. 

The  second  noor  will  be  for  the  Probate  Court  Judge's  rooms  and  clerks'  offices  and  record  rooms 
The  County  Clerk's  new  offices  and  toilet  rooms  will  be  on  this  floor,  and  the  upper  part  of  the 
County  Clerk's  Office  will  have  a  gallery  all  around,  with  entrance  on  third  floor. 

The  third  floor  over  Probate  Court  will  be  for  the  Surveyor's  Office,  toilet  rooms  and  two  rooms 
for  general  purposes.  When  this  is  finished  the  whole  of  the  Old  City  Hall,  City  Prison  included, 
may  be  cleared  out  and  removed  into  this  wing  and  other  rooms  to  be  finished. 

February  19,  1889,  McCann  &  Riddell  were  awarded  contract  No.  10,  for  05,690,  for  finishing 


NEW  CITY  HALL  COMMISSIONERS.  789 

ooms  on  first  and  second  floors,  facing  the  inner  court  and  along  the  corridor  leading  to  the 
main  tower  from  Larkin  street  wing.  Several  of  these  rooms  are  across  the  corridor  from  the 
Sheriff's  office,  and  on  the  original  plan  form  the  balance  of  the  quarters  intended  for  that  depart- 
ment. The  contract  is  finished. 

Another  contract  entered  into  was  that  of  William  H.  Birch  &  Co.,  for  $5,790,  numbered  9,  and 
dated  June  25,  1889.  This  was  for  another  Multiple  Rope  Elevator,  with  air  cushion  and  other  im- 
provements. It  is  located  in  the  main  McAllister  street  corridor  and  next  to  the  stairs  near  the 
Larkin  street  entrance.  It  is  now  accepted  and  in  running  order.  A  third  elevator  will  some  day 
be  built  near  the  Sheriff's  Office  and  adjoining  the  main  tower. 

July  29,  1889,  the  Board  awarded  contract  No.  11,  for  certain  sanitary  plumbing  and  .cleaning  of 
basement  and  sub-basement.  The  amount  of  contract  was  $649,  and  is  now  nearly  completed  so  far 
as  it  goes,  but  for  the  sanitary  and  other  benefits  necessary  is  inadequate  for  what  is  demanded  from 
a  sanitary  point  of  view. 

On  September  6th,  proposals  were  advertised  for,  returnable  October  14,  1889,  for  steps  and 
pedestals  of  granite  leading  into  the  grounds  and  to  the  building,  as  also  for  a  granite  boundary 
fence,  posts  and  pedestals,  surmounting  each,  with  iron  posts  for  iacandescent  electric  lights  or  gaa 
lights  around  the  whole  reservation,  and  also  for  artificial  stone  walks,  drives  and  curbs  within  the 
grounds,  similar  to  that  already  laid  approaching  the  Hall  of  Records  from  ihe  juncture  of  Mc- 
Allister and  Park  avenues.  Bids  are  to  include  on  Larkin  street  a  hitching  space  with  posts  and 
chains  similar  to  that  in  front  of  the  present  McAllister  street  entrance.  All  work  to  be  done  by 
April  30,  1890. 

This  work,  when  completed,  will  give  the  whole  New  City  Hall  and  grounds  a  finished  appear- 
ance, except  in  front  of  the  two  McAllister  street  wings  now  being  erected,  and  on  Park  avenue 
directly  in  front  of  the  main  tower,  which  if  the  Board  should  conclude  to  put  two  or  four  stories 
on  and  finish  the  inner  dome  and  main  tower  rotunda,  with  a  temporary  roof  over  same,  and  allow 
the  balance  of  the  tower  to  be  built  in  stories  if  the  mansard  roof  should  be  provided  for  in  future 
years,  would  practically  finish  the  building  by  the  time  the  two  McAllister  street  wings  were  done. 

In  constructing  the  main  building  and  also  the  McAllister  street  wings,  provision  has  always  been 
made  in  carrying  up  the  inner  partition  brick  walls  over  the  whole  structure  to  lay  heavy  and  suitable 
iron  girders,  and  such  as  are  calculated  to  carry  the  fourth  floor  and  mansard  roof  and  not  an 
ordinary  roof.  This,  of  course,  has  entailed  a  cost  that  was  not  necessary  if  no  mansard  roof  was 
ever  to  be  built. 

There  are  in  the  main  building  parts  of  two  corridors  and  a  number  of  rooms  on  the  the  second 
floor  yet  to  be  finished.  One  of  these  corridors,  running  north  and  south,  Is  over  the  short  corridor 
leading  to  the  Mayor's  office,  and  the  rooms  on  the  original  plan  are  designated  as  the  permanent 
quarters  of  the  Board  of  Education.  Their  Board  room  being  over  the  Mayor's  office  and  their 
Secretary,  Superintendent  of'  Schools  and  other  necessary  offices  extending  northerly  along  the 
corridor  to  the  iron  staircase. 

Again  on  the  second  floor  there  are  four  rooms  facing  the  inner  court  along  the  corridor  leading 
to  main  tower  from  Larkin  street  front.  When  the  above  work  is  done  the  whole  of  the  second 
floor  will  be  finished,  as  is  now  the  case  with  the  first  floor. 

On  the  third  floor  there  must  be  finished  the  corridor  and  rooms  directly  over  the  Board  of 
Education's  Department. 

On  the  Larkin  street  front  the  two  intersecting  corridors— one  running  easterly  to  the  main 
tower  and  the  other  southerly  toward  Park  avenue— are  to  be  finished.  Along  the  tower  corridor 
there  are  eight  unfinished  rooms,  and  along  the  corridor  running  south  to  Park  avenue  there  are 
six  unfinished  rooms,  four  of  which  are  designated  as  the  permanent  quarters  of  the  City  and  County 
Attorney. 

Specifications  and  working  drawings  for  all  the  above  work  on  the  second  and  third  floors  were 
ordered  to  be  prepared  by  the  architect  on  September  18,  1889,  and  will  soon  be  under  contract  for 
completion. 

The  basement  around  three  sides  of  the  inner  court  and  along  the  Larkin  street  wing  in  its 
entirety  is  unfinished.  There  are  several  corridors  and  about  seventy  smairrooms,  and  as  that  part 
running  south  from  the  Police  Department  or  new  McAllister  street  wing  just  contracted  for  towards 
Park  avenue  along  Larkin  street  is  to  be  fitted  up  as  the  City  Prison,  many  cells  will  be  placed  in 
that  part  of  the  basement,  but  it  will  not  probably  be  needed  until  the  interior  of  the  Police  Depart- 
ment wing  is  finished  and  the  Old  City  Hall  and  City  Prison  moved  here. 

The  only  remaining  part  of  the  vast  structure  to  be  built,  except  the  tower  and  the  mansard  roof, 
is  the  eastern  McAllister  street  wing.  Plans  and  specifications  are  being  prepared  for  this  work,  and 
contracts  will  be  let  oon. 


790  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF 


The  first  floor  of  this  wing  will  be  occupied  by  the  Treasurer  and  License  Collector  on  the  east  of 
the  corridor  and  several  large  offices  unassigned  on  the  west  side.  From  the  first  to  the  upper  floor 
a  grand  stair  will  be  built.  On  the  second  floor  and  leading  through  the  third  floor  a  Grand  Assembly 
Hall  is  laid  out  on  the  adopted  plans  ;  also,  a  large  reception  room,  and  on  the  opposite  side  of  the 
corridor  on  the  second  floor  will  be  a  ladies'  and  gentlemen's  cloak  room.  On  the  third  floor  will  be 
the  gallery  of  the  Assembly  Hall  and  a  few  unassigned  offices. 

The  fourth  floor,  finished  by  the  mansard  roof  in  the  original  plan,  made  provision  only  for  per- 
manent quarters  of  the  Fire  alarm  and  Police  Telegraph  Departmant,  leaving  the  remainder  of  the 
vast  space  unoccupied.  This  work  contemplated  a  floor  35  or  40  feet  high  in  the  clear,  and  added  to 
the  present  height  of  85  feet,  would  make  the  main  building  about  125  feet  high.  The  building's 
frontage  is  about  810  feet  on  Park  avenue,  540  feet  on  Larkin  street  and  660  feet  on  McAllister  street 
The  site  of  the  building  covers  an  area  of  ground  of  six  and  three-quarter  acres  and  the  actual 
area  of  the  building  covers  about  four  acres.  The  Hall  of  Records  is  detatched  from  the 
main  building  by  a  space  of  50  feet,  but  connected  by  an  open  arcade  leading  from  the  corridor  to 
the  main  building.  The  outside  dimension  of  the  Hall  of  Kecords,  which  is  a  circular  fire-proof 
building  with  broad  corridor,  is  136  feet.  The  inside  diameter  is  86  feet.  There  are  three  gallery 
floors  with  large  dome.  This  dome  is  57  feet  in  diameter.  The  center  of  the  Hall  is  open  to  the  top 
of  the  dome,  giving  an  interior  height  of  120  feet.  The  height  from  the  terrace  to  the  top  of  the 
dome  is  126  feet,  which,  with  the  pedestal,  increases  the  height  to  135  feet. 

The  main  building  encloses  a  square  open  or  inner  court,  surrounded  by  a  broad  piazza  measur- 
ing 125  feet  by  121  feet,  giving  ventilation  and  light  to  the  interior  parts  of  the  corridors  and  building. 

The  principal  entrance  will  be  through  the  circular  entrance  of  the  main  tower  hall,  almost  a 
fac-simile  in  appearance  inside  of  the  Hall  of  Records,  being  79  feet  in  diameter,  with  an  internal 
height  to  the  top  of  the  inner  or  lower  dome  of  about  138  feet.  Around  this  will  be  iron  galleries  for 
communication  at  each  floor  level.  In  front  of  this  entrance  is  a  portico  24  feet  wide. 


CHAPTER    XII. 

HEATING   AND  VENTILATION. 

The  general  work  on  the  basement  about  June,  1873,  having  approached  a  point  in  its  construc- 
tion where  the  question  of  ventilation  and  heating  of  the  entire  edifice  became  of  paramount  im- 
portance, this  subject  was  taken  up  by  the  Board  for  consideration.  About  August  of  that  year  Mr. 
J.  J.  Smith,  of  the  firm  of  Baker,  Smith  &  Co.,  of  New  York  and  Chicago,  visited  San  Francisco,  and 
aa  he  had  made  the  subject  a  specialty,  he  met  the  Board,  and  they  considered  the  joint  question  of 
heating  and  ventilating  under  his  firm's  system. 

This  resulted  in  an  agreement  for  Mr.  J.  J.  Smith  to  lay  out  all  flues,  chases,  apertures,  spaces 
for  boilers,  heating  surfaces,  etc.,  for  a  system  of  heating  and  ventilating  for  the  main  building,  on 
the  ground,  first,  second  and  third  floors,  and  Hall  of  Records  to  be  laid  down  and  marked  out  on 
the  adopted  plans,  which  were  submitted  to  Mr.  Smith,  and  for  which  it  was  agreed  that  Baker, 
Smith  &  Co.  should  receive  $500  for  that  service,  and  a  preference  given  to  his  firm  should  they  desire 
to  contract  for  the  work.  These  plans  were  marked  in  red  ink  and  otherwise  to  show  and  carry  out 
where  flues,  etc.,  were  to  be.  They  are  now  part  of  the  plans  in  the  Architect's  Department,  and 
for  this  service  and  his  advice  his  fee  was  paid.  The  plans  were  sent  from  Chicago,  November  24, 1873, 
to  San  Francisco  by  express,  and  are  listed  on  schedule  "C  "  heretofore  referred  to. 

The  system  of  heating  adopted  was  that  known  as  indirect  radiation  in  the  rooms  and  halls 
which  require  warming.  The  air  is  warmed  before  being  admitted  into  the  njoms  by  passing  through 
heating  coils  or  stacks  placed  on  a  lower  story,  and  is  then  conducted  through  warm  air  flues  into  the 
various  rooms  and  halls,  and,  as  a  necessary  accompaniment  to  this  system  of  heating,  ventilating 
flues  are  provided  for  the  exit  of  the  vitiated  air,  for  the  heated  air  cannot  of  course  enter  the  rooms 
unless  an  equal  bulk  of  the  air  already  therein  is  displaced  to  make  way  for  it.  This  system  of  heating 
and  ventilation  is  still  considered  the  best  for  public  buildings. 

The  warm  air  is  admitted  into  the  rooms  through  registers  placed  near  the  floor,  by  means  of 
which  registers  the  influx  of  warm  air  can  be  controlled  and  regulated,  and  if  necessary  shut  off  by 
the  occupants  of  the  rooms.  The  registers  of  the  ventilating  flues  are  also  placed  near  the  floors,  and 
the  warm  air  on  entering  the  room  rises  towards  the  ceilings  and  displace  an  equal  volume  of  air 
which  has  been  vitiated  by  respiration,  and  which,  by  the  absorption  of  carbonic  acid  gas,  has  become

increased  in  weight  and  readily  falls  to  the  floors  of  the  rooms  and  makes  its  escape  through  the  ven- 
tilating flues.  The  system  of  indirect  radiation  was  determined  on  for  the  building  by  the  first  Board 
of  New  City  Hall  Commissioners,  and  was  carried  out  by  the  second  Board,  of  which  Mayor  A.  J. 
Bryant  was  President,  and  in  conformity  with  their  interpretation  of  the  Act  of  March  24,  1876 
requiring  them  to  carry  out  the  plans  as  adopted  under  the  Act  of  April  4, 1870,  and  this  work  of 
heating  and  ventilating  was  done  in  the  portion  of  the  building  which  was  completed  under  their 
control,  to  wit :  The  Hall  of  Records  and  the  east  wing  of  the  main  building,  and  along  the  Mc- 
Allister street  front  to  the  main  entrance.  The  particular  drawings  and  specifications  for  the 
boilers  and  heating  apparatus  and  other  machinery  were  prepared  by  a  leading  firm  of  mechanical 
engineers  in  this  city. 

Considerable  trouble  and  difficulty  was  found  in  arranging  the  heating  and  ventilating  flues, 
which  in  the  part  of  the  building  roofed  in  up  to  1880  were  in  all  510  in  number.  The  idea  had  been 
to  locate  the  heating  apparatus  in  the  basement  story,  and  the  flues  had  been  connected  only  just  at 
the  under  side  of  the  first  story  floor.  This  course  would  have  completely  prevented  the  basement 
story  from  being  used  for  any  other  purpose,  and  in  order  to  save  this  story  the  Board  had  to  exca- 
vate part  of  the  sand  which  had  been  filled  in  between  the  foundation  walls,  so  as  to  make  a  sub- 
fcasement  story  to  receive  the  pipes,  heaters,  etc.,  and  to  cut  openings  through  the  foundation  wal 
for  access  to  the  different  parts  of  the  building;  to  make  the  best  practical  provision  for  admitting 
fresh  air  to  the  sub-basement,  in  order  to  supply  warmed  -air  through  the  heating  flues  to  the  whole 
of  the  building,  and  to  continue  the  flues  down  to  the  sub-basement  story. 

Complaints  were  made  on  the  occupation  of  the  building  of  insufficient  ventilation,  and  in 
some  cases  of  excess  of  heat.  At  this  time  Mr.  J.  J.  Smith  happened  to  be  in  San  Francisco.  An 
arrangement  was  made  for  Mr.  Smith  to  treat  the  heaters  and  flues  of  two  large  rooms  in  thy 
building,  and  if  a  satisfactory  result  was  obtained,  he  was  to  prepare  working  drawings  for  similarle 
treating  the  remainder  of  the  occupied  portion. 

These  changes  proved  satisfactorily.  Contracts  were  let,  based  on  these  working  drawings  for 
the  heating  and  ventilation  of  the  portion  of  the  building  then  occupied  and  in  course  of  completion 
at  that  date.  All  the  steam  and  return  water  pipes  were  then  covered,  in  order  to  check  the 
radiation  of  heat  from  them  and  so  reduce  the  consumption  of  coal.  Part  of  the  machinery  and 
apparatus— in  use  up  to  July,  1880,  —consisted  of  :  Four  drop  return  tubular  fire  box  boilers,  with 
necessary  connections;  about  8, 000  lineal  feet  of  steam  and  return  water  pipe,  from  1J  to  7  inches 
diameter;  155  brass  heating  stacks  of  various  sizes;  155  heating  flues  and  registers  from  8x12 
inches  to  12x24  inches;  152  ventilating  flues  and  registers  from  8x12  inches  to  12x24  inches,  etc. 

The  present  boilers  will  supply  steam  for  ten  more  heaters,  which  will  be  required  for  the  rooms 
over  the  Mayor's  office  and  corridor,  and  marked  on  the  original  plans  as  intended  for  the 
accommodation  of  the  Board  of  Education  and  others  when  finished,  and  these  boilers  also  furnish 
steam  for  the  elevators  and  artesian  well. 

For  the  remainder  of  the  building  another  set  of  boilers  will  be  required,  which  it  is  proposed 
to  locate  as  per  the  original  plan  in  part  of  the  sub-basement  near  Larkin  street  and  Park  avenue. 

There  is  one  point  in  the  matter  of  heating  and  ventilating  which  requires  careful  attention,  as 
it  has  been  reported  on  to  the  Commissioners  by  every  architect;  and  that  is  the  importance  of 
keeping  the  sub-basement  perfectly  clean.  All  the  air  which  enters  the  building  through  the  warm 
air  flues,  has  to  pass  first  through  the  sub-basement  story,  and  therefore  it  is  necessary  that  this 
story  should  be  kept  quite  clean  and  free  from  anything  calculated  to  cause  offensive  odors,  or  to 
generate  obnoxious  gases;  it  ought  to  be  swept  and  washed  out  from  time  to  time  and  kept  fresh 
and  clean. 

Although  the  McAllister  street  front  and  most  of  the  Larkin  street  wing  has  for  a  long  time 
been  finished,  no  additional  boilers  have  been  put  in  the  building,  or  any  pipes  to  furnish  heat  and 
carry  out  in  that  portion  of  the  building  the  heating  and  ventilating  apparatus  adopted,  and,  prior 
to  1880,  erected  in  the  east  wing,  McAllister  street  front  and  Hall  of  Records,  as  designated  on 
the  adopted  plans. 

The  late  architect,  Mr.  Laver,  filed  a  report  on  this  subject  just  before  resigning.  It  represented 
the  sub-basement  in  a  very  unhealthy  and  offensive  condition,  owing  to  bursted  sewer  drain  pipes, 
stagnant  pools  of  water,  etc.  He  recommended  a  thorough  cleaning  out  of  same,  and  estimated  it 
would  cost  $7,500.  Contract  No.  11  was  subsequently  let  for  $649.00,  but,  as  before  stated,  it  has 
only  given  partial  relief  in  this  very  important  matter. 


792  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

PAPERS,  BOOKS  AND  RECORDS. 

On  the  15th  of  April,  1889,  the  undersigned  succeeded  Mr.  John  T.  Washington  as  Secretary, 
and  received  in  his  official  capacity  so  few  papers,  books  and  records,  that  on  April  22d,  1889,  he 
filed  a  protest  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board,  of  which  the  following  is  an  extract : 

"  My  predecessor,  Mr.  Washington,  has  turned  over  to  me  Minute  Books  numbers  1,  2  and  3, 
Day  Book,  Journal,  Ledger,  Demand  Book,  Warrant  Book  and  a  few  minor  books  which  contain 
partial  accounts  of  different  administrations  since  1870,  but  none  in  a  complete  form.  He  has  also 
turned  over  certain  papers  on  file  since  this  Board  organized,  July  5th,  1887,  but  these  are  mixed 
and  incomplete,  and  contain  none  of  a  vast  lot  of  records  referred  to  in  the  three  (3)  minute  books, 
as  those  of  his  predecessors,  and  such  papers  as  were  required  to  be  kept  under  the  Act  of  1870,  and 
Sections  1,  5,  10,  14  and  15,  of  the  Act  of  1876,  to  be  on  file  and  in  the  custody  of  the  Secretary. 
Mr.  Washington  states  his  reasons  for  not  doing  so,  was  because  they  were  never  turned  over  to 
him.  I  respectfully  request  that  some  official  notice  be  taken  of  this  matter,  as  this  is  the  first 
meeting  of  the  Board  at  which  I  have  acted  as  secretary,  so  that  some  record  may  appear  as  to 
what  books,  papers,  contracts,  bonds,  etc.,  as  Secretary  my  conduct  of  the  office  may  be  chargeable 
with." 

The  first  Board  under  the  Act  of  1870  were  required,  by  the  Act  of  1874,  to  turn  over  the  books, 
papers,  plans,  etc.,  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  and  this  was  done  April  29th,  1874,  and  under  the 
Act  of  1876  these  records  with  others  that  had  accumulated  were  again  transferred  to  the  Board, 
composed  of  the  Mayor,  Auditor  and  City  and  County  Attorney  and  their  successors  who  receipted 
for  same,  and  thereafter  became  chargeable  with  their  custody. 

Sectios  5,  of  the  Act  of  1876,  provides,  viz  :  "  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Secretary  to  take 
charge  of  and  safely  keep  the  books,  papers  and  records  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners,  to  attend 
all  meetings  of  the  Board,  and  keep  full  and  correct  minutes  of  their  proceedings;  to  keep  an 
accurate  account  of  the  receipts  and  disbursements  of  the  Commission,  and  keep  an  accurate  account 
with  each  officer,  clerk,  contractor  and  employe." 

Section  17  provides  :  "  When  the  said  City  Hall  shall  be  erected  and  completed  as  in  this  Act 
provided,  the  said  Commissioners  shall  turn  over  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors  all  their  books, 
papers  and  vouchers,  and  property  of  every  description,  and  at  the  same  time  shall  render  a  full 
and  final  account  of  their  transactions,  which  said  account  shall  be  examined  by  said  Board  of 
Supervisors,  and,  if  found  correct,  approved,  and  thereupon  the  office  of  said  Commissioners  and 
their  powers  and  duties  shall  cease  and  determine;  provided,  the  sureties  of  their  official  bonds 
shall  not  be  discharged  from  liability  until  such  accounts  shall  have  been  so  examined  and  found 
correct. " 

On  April  18,  1881,  Mr.  Kalloch  offered  the  following  preamble  and  resolution  : 

"  WHEREAS,  The  construction  of  the  New  City  Hall  has  been  carried  on  under  the  supervision 
and  direction  of  four  separate  and  distinct  administrations,  and  there  has  never  been  any  regular 
and  consecutive  account  kept  of  the  expense  and  cost  of  the  building,  some  of  the  records  being  in  the 
office  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  and  others  in  the  custody  of  the  Secretary  of  this  Commiss  on. 
The  books,  papers,  vouchers,  etc.,  of  this  present  Commission  have  quite  recently  been  thoroughly 
examined  by  Mr.  Solon  Pattee,  a  well-known  and  reliable  expert,  who,  in  his  report,  pronounced 
the  books,  accounts,  vouchers,  etc.,  thoroughly  straight,  honest  and  in  first-class  condition,  but  he 
also  in  said  report  recommended  the  making  up  oi  a  "  Construction  Book  "  (so  called),  showing  in 
detail  the  entire  cost  of  the  New  City  Hall  from  the  beginning,  the  cost  of  which,  with  the  books, 
he  estimated  at  about  §1,000;  and 

"  WHEREAS,  We  deem  it  expedient  and  necessary  that  a  full  and  detailed  statement  of  the 
cost  of  the  New  City  Hall  from  the  beginning  of  the  work  to  the  end  of  the  present  fiscal  year 
(June  30th,  1881)  be  completed  not  only  for  our  own  information  but  for  the  public  as  well,  and 
also  that  we  may  have  a  full  and  complete  record  of  the  cost  of  the  building  in  the  Secretary's 
office; 

"  THEREFORE  RESOLVED,  That  for  the  reasons  stated  the  Secretary  foe,  and  he  is  hereby 
authorized  and  directed  to  at  once  employ  an  expert  who  shall  proceed  to  make  up  a  Con- 
struction Book  or  books,  showing  in  full  and  complete  detail  the  cost  of  the  New  City  Hall 
from  its  inception  to  June  30th,  1881.  Said  book  or  books  to  show  the  cost  of  material  in  building, 
abor,  etc.,  and  any  and  all  infoimation  that  maybe  necessary  in  order  to  show  the  coto  of  the;

building,  provided  that  the  cost  of  doing  this  work,  including  the  necessary  books,  etc. ,  shall  not 
exceed  the  sum  o  f  $800 . 00 . "  Adopted. 

This  construction  account  was  thereupon  made  up  and  the  expert  paid  $800.00. 

After  a  thorough  examination  of  the  minutes  from  1870, 1  searched  for  what  they  disclosed 
should  be  in  the  Secretary !s  office.  In  the  Mayor's  vault  was  found  the  Construction  Books  com- 
piled under  the  Kalloch  board,  and  other  account  books  together  with  some  contracts  under  this 
board,  while  a  vast  number  of  minor  books,  papers,  contracts,  bonds  and  records  from  1870,  of  the 
various  boards  down  to  the  organization  of  the  present  board  in  1887,  were  scattered  and  mixed  in 
great  confusion  in  a  small  room  of  the  Architect's  department  in  the  Larkin  street  wing  of  the 
building;  but  no  one  seemed  to  know  what  was  there.  These  books,  papers  and  records  have  been 
transferred  to  the  Secretary's  office  and  written  up,  endorsed  and  catalogued  by  myself.  And  the 
Commissioners  can  now  comply  with  Section  17,  if  Section  5  of  the  Act  is  hereafter  obeyed. 

The  work  has  been  laborious  and  all  of  it  of  that  character  that  former  boards  employed  experts 
t  large  expense  to  perform.  This  report  could  not  have  been  prepared  without  first  having 
examined  and  arranged  the  books  and  papers. 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  report  read  at  a  meeting  of  this  board : 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  June  7,  1889. 

GENTLEMEN  :  Up  to  November  15,  1881,  the  books  of  this  Commission  have  been  experted 
checked  and  reported  upon  by  Solon  Pattee,  H.  N.  Gordon  and  other  accountants,  and  about  the 
last  named  date  S.  S.  Bamberger  presented  his  report,  for  which  he  was  paid  §800.  From  November 
15,  1881,  to  date,  the  entries  and  corresponding  demands  have  not  been  checked.  There  are  breaks 
in  the  accounts  that  should  be  posted  up,  entries  of  demands  paid  that  should  be  made,  and  in  order 
to  perfect  the  record  it  should  be  done  so  as  to  comply  with  Section  16  of  the  Act  of  March  24,  1876, 
under  which  this  Commission  must,  on  the  second  Monday  of  July,  1889,  file  and  publish  a  report, 
and  steps  should  be  taken  by  the  Board  to  have  this  back  work  done  at  once.  I  ask  that  some  person 
may  be  employed  to  act  in  connection  with  the  Secretary  to  perform  such  necessary  work,  so  that 
passing  upon  any  of  the  work  of  former  Secretaries  may  not  be  imposed  upon  me. 

A.  T.  SPOTTS, 

Secretary. 

The  paper  was  ordered  filed  and  no  relief  granted  me;  but  the  following  report  was  subsequently 
prepared  and  is  now  made  part  of  this  document  as  Schedule  "  A,"  viz : 


SCHEDULE  "A." 

NEW  CITY  HALL. 

The  undersigned,  as  Secretary  for  the  Board  of  New  City  Hall  Commissioners,  makes  the  fol- 
lowing annual  statement,  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  Section  16  of  an  Act  entitled,  "  An  Act  for

Hall,  approved  March  24,  1876,"  and  also  pursuant  to  a  supplemental  Act,  approved  March  10,  1887, 
wherein  Section  1  provides  for  raising  additional  funds  by  annual  taxation,  and  Section  2  provides 
in  relation  to  the  New  City  Hall  that  •'  All  laws  now  in  force,  *  *  are  hereby  continued  in  lull 
force  and  effect,"  and  thus  continues  all  provisions  of  the  Act  of  March  24,  1876. 

Section  16  of  that  Act  requires  the  Board  of  Commissioners  on  the  second  Monday  of  July  in 
each  and  every  year,  to  make  out  and  publish  in  two  daily  papers  in  San  Francisco  a  tabular  state- 
ment, showing,  to  wit : 

First— Receipts  during  fiscal  year  ending  June  30th  preceding. 

Second— The  amount  to  which  the  Fund  is  entitled  for  the  year  and  delinquent. 

Third— The  amount  paid  out  of  the  Fund  during  the  fiscal  year.

Fifth— The  amount  credited  to  the  Fund  each  previous  year. 

Sixth— The  amount  paid  out  of  the  Fund  each  previous  year. 

Seventh  -  The  estimated  amount  required  to  complete  the  Hall,  and  such  other  matters  and 
things  as  go  to  show  the  condition  of  the  Fund  and  its  management  and  the  progress  made  in  the 
construction  of  the  Hall,  together  with  a  list  of  all  contracts  made  under  this  Act.

NEW  CITY  HALL    COMMISSIONED.  797 

The  last  regularly  entered  contract  on  the  books  of  the  Commission  before  the  present  Board 
was  organized,  July  5,  1837,  was  No.  159,  and  executed  September  4,  1882.  T,he  entries  are  chiefly  in 
pencil.  This  is  also  the  case  with  other  contracts  about  the  same  date.  In  fact,  some  entries  are 
not  made  at  all.  This  is  in  violation  of  Section  5  of  the  Act  of  1876,  which  requires  the  Commission 
to  "  keep  an  accurate  account  with  each  officer,  clerk,  contractor  and  employee,"  and  until  remedied 
Section  17  of  the  same  Act  cannot  be  complied  with. 

On  the  24th  day  of  January,  1884,  when  Mayor  Bartlett  was  President  of  the  Board,  contract 
No.  160,  for  §12,700,  for  internal  work  on  the  Larkin  street  wing,  was  let  to  J.  K.  Delinas,  who 
assigned  same  to  J.  S.  Tibbals,  since  deceased.  No  entry  whatever  of  this  contract,  as  required  by 
statute,  appears  in  its  order  on  the  books  of  the  New  City  Hall  Commissioners,  and  the  question  of 
final  settlement  as  to  the  balance  due  is  now  in  dispute,  and  will  lead  to  litigation.  The  demand 
for  s3, 100  in  full  satisfaction  of  claim  has  been  refused  audit  by  Auditor  Strother,  who  holds  that 
the  transaction  is  tainted  with  fraud  and  barred  by  the  Statute  of  Limitations.  On  the  same  day  a 
contract  was  awarded  Henry  S.  Martin  as  the  lowest  bidder  for  Benicia  cement,  at  §2.20  per  barrel, 
and  another  to  Davis  &  Cowell  for  Portland  cement  at  $2.50  per  barrel,  and  a  further  contract  to  the 
H.  T.  Holmes  Lime  Co  at  §1.50  per  barrel.  No  account  appears  on  the  books  with  these  contractors, 
as  is  required  by  Section  5  of  the  Statute. 

Under  Sub.  7  of  Sec.  16,  I  would  report  that  there  are  lapses  in  the  books  of  the  Commissioners 
that  no  one  but  an  expert  bookkeeper  should  be  authorized  to  straighten  out.  After  an  exhaustive 
examination  of  all  the  records,  papers  and  books  of  the  Commissioners,  the  warrant  book  and  de- 
mands in  the  Auditor's  office,  and  books  of  the  City  and  County  Treasurer  Department.  I  have  com- 
piled this  report.  This  should  be  done  from  the  books  of  this  Commission,  but  that  is  impossible 
and  has  not  been  done  since  1881-82  (see  Municipal  Reports  since  that  date).  My  examination  of 
the  Auditor's  and  Treasurer's  books  shows  that  between  July  31,  1881,  and  August  31,  1886,  fifty-six 
entries,  aggregating  §76,670.09,  as  taxes  received  and  paid  into  the  City  Hall  Fund,  are  not  on  the 
New  City  Hall  Commissioners'  books. 

The  Auditor  keeps  a  warrant  book  in  duplicate  of  the  New  City  Hall  Commissioners'  warrant 
book.  Both  books  should  show  demands  identical  in  amount  and  for  what  purpose  drawn.  This  is 
not  the  case,  for  there  are  a  large  number  of  demands  entered  on  the  Auditor's  books  as  paid  that 
do  not  appear  on  the  New  City  Hall  Commissioners'  books.  For  instance,  when  Mayor  Blake  was 
President  of  the  Commission,  demand  No.  4286,  dated  October  28,  1882,  for  $15,984,  is  audited  and 
entered  as  paid  on  the  Auditor's  books,  but  is  not  on  the  Commissioners'  demand  book,  where  it 
should  have  been  first  entered.  Again,  demand  No.  4402,  favor  of  James  Keating  for  $1,165,  was 
entered  on  the  Auditor's  books  on  April  2,  1884,  when  Mayor  Bartlett  was  President  of  the  Com- 
mission, but  nowhere  appears  on  the  Commissioners'  books.  Again,  demand  No.  4285,  of  "  Thomas 
J.  Davis,  for  writing  up  and  balancing  books  of  New  City  Hall  Commissioners,  audited  November  3, 
1882,  redeemed  November  3,  1882,  $50,"  is  found  on  the  Auditor's  books,  but  this  bookkeeper 
neglected  to  enter  his  pay  in  the  Commissioners'  books.  I  find  on  the  Auditor's  books  as  audited 
and  paid,  when  Mayor  Bartlett  was  President  of  the  Board,  demands  "No.  4421,  from  June  16,  1884, 
favor  of  J.  K.  Delmas,  third  payment  on  contract  No.  160  for  $1500,"  to  and  inclusive  of  demand 
"  No.  4453,  December  31,  1884,  favor  of  Washington  Bartlett,  salary  as  Commissioner  for  four  days 
in  January,  1885,  for  $13. 33,"  making  a  total  of  thirty-three  demands  that  have  been  duly  entered  in 
the  Auditor's  Office  and  paid,  but  do  not  appear  on  the  books  of  the  Commissioners. 

The  demands  above  referred  to  and  others  that  were  not  properly  entered  before  the  present 
Commission  organized,  amount  to  over  $176,000.

Grandtotal ...   $3,909,424  75      $3,909,424  75 

The  New  City  Hall  to  June  30, 1889,  has  cost  $3,750,106.59,  and  there  should  be  added  to  this 
and  deducted  from  the  balance  in  the  Treasury  for  payments  to  fall  due  on  existing  contracts,  the 
sum  of  $29,653.73,  and  the  total  cost  to  date  will  reach  $3,779,760.32.  The  estimated  amount  to  com- 
plete the  New  City  Hall,  without  considering  the  cost  of  a  mansard  roof,  but  finish  the  two  Mc- 
Allister street  wings,  the  basement  and  unfinished  rooms  in  the  main  building  on  the  upper  floors, 
lay  out  the  walks  and  grounds,  erect  all  proposed  granite  steps  and  fences,  and  build  a  suitable 
main  tower,  will  amount  to  $1,000,000  additional  and  absorb  the  balance  unexpended  June  30,  1889, 
together  with  the  levy  for  this  and  most  of  that  allowed  as  the  limit  for  the  next  two  fiscal  years. 
This  will  make  the  New  City  Hall  cost  when  finished  complete,  without  the  mansard  roof,  about 
$4,780,000,  and  take  until  the  latter  part  of  1892. 

On  February  2,  1874,  and  over  fifteen  years  ago,  Architects  David  Farquharson  and  John  P. 
Gaynor  submitted  a  report  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors  containing  a  detailed  estimate  of  the  cost  to 
that  date  and  the  amount  required  to  finish  the  building  as  above,  without  the  mansard  roof.  They 
reported:  *  *  "The  total  cost  of  the  building  would  then  be  the  sum  of  $4,854,060,"  which  is  not 
very  far  out  of  the  way,  as  appears  at  this  date. 

There  have  been  four  active  Boards  during  the  construction  of  the  building,  the  Blake  and 
Bartlett  Boards  having  had  little  to  do.  The  first  two  active  Boards  covered  about  four  years  each, 
and  the  other  two  about  two  years  each.  A  comparison  of  salaries,  wages,  stationery,  advertising, 
etc.,  under  the  head  of  Expense  Account,  shows  that  the  first,  or  Cannavan,  Board  for  four  years 
averaged  under  expense  account  $33,000  per  annum,  while  the  Bryant  Board  during  four  years 
averaged  about  $45,000  per  annum.  The  Kalloch  Board  averaged  $43,000  per  annum  during  two 
years,  but  had  only  about  two-thirds  of  the  money  to  operate  with  each  year  that  the  others  had. 
The  present  Board  makes  a  better  showing  than  any  of  its  predecessors  under  expense  account,  with 
an  average  expenditure  for  two  years  of  $19,664.10  per  annum,  being  less  than  one-half  of  the 
Kalloch  Board,  with  about  the  same  amount  of  money  to  handle.

REPORT 


Board  of  Park  Commissioners. 


SAN  FBANCISCO,  June  30,  1889. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  : 

GENTLEMEN:  The  undersigned  Commissioners  have  the  honor  to  submit 
their  report  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1889. 

Under  oar  charge  are  six  reservations,  viz.:  Golden  Gate  Park,  Buena 
Vista  Park,  Mountain  Lake  Park,  the  Avenue,  the  Great  Highway,  and  a 
portion  of  Point  Lobos  Road,  on  all  of  which  more  or  less  work  has  been 
done. 

During  the  past  year  considerable  improvements  have  been  accomplished, 
not  the  least  important  being  the  completion  of  the  "  Sharon  Quarters  "  for 
children,  and  the  surrounding  grounds.  The  house  is  a  handsome  two-story 
building  situated  on  a  slight  elevation,  well  sheltered  by  pine  and  oak  trees 
from  the  prevailing  winds,  the  lower  story  being  used  as  a  playroom,  the 
second  or  main  story  as  a  restaurant,  where  milk,  bread  and  butter,  coffee 
and  other  light  refreshments  are  dispensed  to  children  and  their  attendants. 
On  the  southern  and  eastern  sides  of  the  house,  and  on  a  level  with  the  main 
floor,  is  a  wide,  spacious  balcony  where  from  seventy-five  to  one  hundred 
people  can  stand  and  view  the  games  of  the  children,  and  watch  the  merry- 
go-round  with  its  crowds  of  little  patrons,  while  other  children  ride  the 
donkeys,  drive  the  goat-carts,  enjoy  the  swings,  see-saws,  spring-boards  or 
the  maypole;  and  a  little  further  to  the  east  the  boys  are  practicing  the 
national  game  of  baseball.  This  additional  feature,  the  children's  play- 
grounds, is  certainly  a  great  attraction  in  the  Park,  affording  as  it  does 
amusement  to  the  old  as  well  as  to  the  young .  It  is  worthy  of  note  that  this 
feature  of  the  Park  is  self-sustaining,  the  revenue  from  the  sales  in  the  res- 
aurant  and  from  the  tickets  sold  for  the  merry-go-round  and  pther  outside 
attractions  being  sufficient  for  the  maintenance  of  the  entire  playground. 


800  PARK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT. 

Our  Children's  Quarters  are  probably  more  complete  and  extensive  than 
any  similar  feature  in  any  public  park  of  this  continent,  and  were  constructed 
from  a  fund  of  $50,000  bequeathed  by  the  late  Senator  William  Sharon. 

The  large  main  valley  situated  between  the  three  flagstaff*  and  the 
Children's  house  has  been  graded,  loamed  and  planted  in  lawn,  this  being 
the  largest  piece  of  greensward  in  the  Park,  containing  about  ten  acres, 
300,000  yards  of  prepared  soil  having  been  used  in  the  work.  This  valley 
has  been  improved  with  a  view  to  the  most  perfect  enjoyment  of  its  natural 
features,  and  is  now  a  fine  piece  of  verdure  interspersed  with  groups  of 
shrubs,  backed  and  centered  with  trees  of  various  species.  The  main  lawn, 
with  the  new  music  ground  and  the  grounds  of  the  Children's  quarters,  were 
all  finished  during  the  past  year,  and  present  over  thirty  acres  of  finished 
grounds,  planted  with  rare  trees,  fine  shrubs,  grassy  slopes,  lawns  and  flower 
beds. 

Immediately  west  of  the  new  concourse  or  music  grounds  is  situated  a 
depression  or  hollow  containing  about  fifteen  acres,  and  surrounded  by  steep 
sides,  seemingly  intended  by  nature  for  a  lake.  In  its  unimproved  state, 
however,  it  was  far  from  attractive;  and  the  construction  of  a  lake  being  for 
the  present  out  of  the  question,  the  idea  of  improving  thi*  particular  tract  at 
a  small  expense  was  presented  to  us.  We  adopted  a  suggestion  made  to  us, 
and  solved  the  problem  by  inclosing  the  area  with  a  substantial  and  orna- 
mental fence,  converting  the  space  into  a  deer  paddock,  within  which  are 
now  twenty  pretty  animals,  donated  to  the  Park.  This  feature  has  been 
even  more  successful  than  we  anticipated,  as  it  tends  to  decrease  the  crowd 
in  the  vicinity  of  the  music  stand.  The  driveway  and  the  footpath  which 
have  been  constructed  around  the  deer  park  are  much  used,  and  the  popu- 
elarity  of  this  feature  goes  to  show  the  attractiveness  of  animal  life  to  th 
people  generally  and  the  children  in  particular. 

The  bare,  sandy  hollows  situated  west  of  Strawberry  Hill  have  been  as  far 
as  possible  planted  with  leptispermum  and  other  low-growing  shrubbery, 
which  will,  in  a  few  years,  completely  cover  the  dry  sand  with  foliage.  The 
tract  lying  between  the  main  drive  and  the  railroad  at  the  westerly  end  of 
the  Park  has  been  thickly  planted  with  trees,  and  brush  fences  constructed 
for  their  protection. 

THE   NURSEBY 

Has  been  greatly  enlarged  to  receive  the  large  number  of  various  trees  and 
shrubs  recently  introduced.  This  adjunct  of  the  Park  can  readily  be  made 
self-sustaining  by  the  sale  of  the  trees  and  shrubs  which  we  raise  in  excess  of 
our  demand.  It  is  difficult  to  estimate  the  exact  number  of  trees  required 
for  our  planting  season,  and  the  surplus  which  generally  remains  can  be 
largely  increased;  so  that,  without  difficulty,  we  can  not  only  supply  the 
demand  of  the  Park  proper,  but  also  furnish  the  various  pnblic  institutions, 
such  as  hospitals,  alms-houses,  industrial  schools,  city  squares,  etc.,  with 
such  trees  and  shrubs  as  the  pine,  cypress,  eucalyptus,  accacia  and 
leptispermum. 


PARK  COMMISSIO N#RS'  EEPOBT.  801 

AEBOEETUM. 

Within  the  next  year,  we  hope,  with  the  co-operation  of  the  State  Board 
of  Forestry  Commissioners,  to  establish  an  arboretum,  similar  to  that  con- 
ducted by  the  Harvard  University,  where  specimens  of  all  known  trees  can 
be  classified,  compared  and  tested  as  to  their  adaptability  to  our  soil  and 
climate.  Trees  native  to  the  Pacific  Coast  will  receive  special  attention.  If 
properly  conducted,  an  arboretum  would  be  manifestly  of  much  practical 
service,  not  only  to  the  student  but  to  every  one  throughout  the  State  inter- 
ested in  tree  planting.  In  this  connection  we  might  remark  that  several 
species  of  forest  trees  that  have  been  lately  introduced  from  Mount  Hood 
are  doing  remarkably  well,  and  will  in  a  few  years  materially  improve  the 
forestry  of  the  Park,  which  greatly  lacks  variety,  being  unfortunately  com- 
posed principally  of  pine,  eucalyptus  and  cypress. 

THE   MUSIC   GBOUNDS 

Will  soon  be  too  confined  to  properly  accommodate  the  greatly  increasing 
number  of  visitors  riding  and  driving  to  this  portion  of  the  Park,  and  we  are 
now  preparing  plans  for  their  enlargement  and  improvement.  The  mound 
on  the  south  side  of  these  grounds  will  be  removed,  as  will  a  portion  of  the 
shrubbery  on  the  north  and  east,  thus  adding  about  5,000  square  feet -to  the 
present  superficial  area  occupied  by  teams  and  carriages.  We  also  contem- 
plate the  construction  of  a  bridge  across  the  driveway  which  forms  the  exit 
of  the  concourse,  that  foot-passengers  passing  from  the  vicinity  of  the  music 
grounds  toward  the  conservatory  may  cross  the  road  with  convenience  and 
safety.  The  seating  accommodation  in  front  of  the  music  stand  has  been 
doubled  during  the  past  year  and  trees  have  been  planted  to  afffrd  shade  and 
shelter  to  those  listening  to  the  music. 

BEIDLE  PATHS 

Are  now  much  needed  in  the  Park  for  the  use  of  equestrians,  who  find  the 
main  driveway  too  hard  for  horseback  riding.  An  additional  bridle-path 
running  parallel  to  the  main  road  to  the  beach  has  been  constructed  to  the 
base  of  Strawberry  Hill,  and  other  bridle-paths  have  been  repaired,  this  work 
having  necessitated  the  use  of  a  large  quantity  of  clay  and  fine  grave],  the 
transportation  of  which  from  various  portions  of  the  Park  has,  of  necessity, 
been  attended  with  no  little  expense. 

THE   POLICE    REGULATIONS 

Of  the  Park  are  as  liberal  as  is  consistent  with  proper  government.  The 
people  visiting  the  Park  are  most  orderly,  and  seem  to  appreciate  greatly  the 
privilege  of  walking  and  lounging  on  the  lawns,  and  picnicking  under  the 
trees.  Careful  observation  shows  that  the  damage  done  to  the  grass  by 
walking  upon  it,  is  infinitesimally  small,  compared  to  the  pleasure  afforded 
51 


802  PARK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT. 

the  people  by  this  privilege,  an:l  is  easily  remedied  by  a  little  additional  care. 
In  no  park  are  so  few  arrests,  proportionately,  made.  The  police  force  con- 
sists of  three  mounted  officers  and  a  like  number  of  patrolmen,  who  are  kept 
moving  from  point  to  point  throughout  the  Park,  the  more  secluded  portions 
tieing  most  carefully  watched. 

THE    SPEED   EOAD 

Which  a  committee  of  prominent  and  enterprising  citizens  undertook  to  con- 
struct by  a  fund  from  private  subscription,  was  an  unreclaimed  portion  of  the 
Park  designated  for  the  purpose.  About  $33,000  have  been  expended  by 
this  committee  in  surveying  and  grading  the  proposed  road.  The  work,  as 
far  as  completed,  was  well  done,  but  still  was  not  all  completed.  Before  the 
road  can  be  used  by  the  public,  it  will  be  necessary  to  lay  pipe,  which  is 
already  upon  the  ground  for  that  purpose,  plant  hedges,  construct  fences, 
and  place  upon  the  roadway  about  six  inches  of  clay,  which  should  be  well 
watered  and  rolled.  That  this  roadway  might  be  enjoyed  by  others  than 
those  desiring  to  drive  beyond  the  speed  allowed,  there  should  be  constructed 
an  observation  driveway  through  the  sand-hills  along  the  south  side  of,  and 
in  close  proximity  to,  the  speed  road,  which  differs  from  the  main  driveways 
only  insomuch  as  it  is  constructed  of  soft  material,  so  as  not  to  injure  the 
feet  of  the  horses,  and  also  that  the  rate  of  speed  is  not  restricted  on  that 
particular  road. 

Your  Board  of  Park  Commissioners  have  been  earnestly  requested  to 
complete  the  work  of  the  citizens'  committee.  They  do  not  feel  warranted, 
however,  in  expending  the  necessary  amount  for  labor  from  the  Park  Fund, 
as  many  improvements  should  be  made  in  that  portion  of  the  Park  which  is 
within  easy  reach  of  all.  We  are  informed,  however,  that  under  the  juris- 
diction of  your  Honorable  Board  of  Supervisors  are  a  number  of  men,  in- 
mates of  the  House  of  Correction,  who  are  now  being  worked  on  the  public 
roads  in  the  vicinity  of  that  institution.  It  has  been  suggested  to  us,  that 
with  your  permission  these  men  could  be  temporarily  transferred  to  the  un- 
completed roadway  in  the  Park,  and  thus,  without  drawing  upon  the  Park 
Fund,  complete  the  contemplated  speed  road  and  adjacent  footpaths  and 
driveways,  they  being  no  doubt  as  mu  ;h  a  portion  of  the  city  roads  as  those 
upon  which  the  men  are  now  employed.  The  Superintendent  of  the  House 
of  Correction  having  stated  that  he  has  no  objection  to  this  temporary  trans- 
fer of  his  workihg  force,  this  Board  may  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity 
thus  offered.  It  is  not,  however,  our  intention  or  desire  to  use  this  labor  to 
the  exclusion  of  any  other,  for  as  many  men  will  be  employed  by  us  as  our 
funds  will  allow,  and  no  one  will  be  deprived  of  his  position  or  of  the  oppor- 
tunity of  securing  employment  by  the  temporary  use  of  the  men  referred  to. 
Kor  would  we  avail  ourselves  of  the  use  of  the  men  now  employed  in  road 
construction  by  your  Honorable  Board,  could  our  so  doing  be  construed  as  a 
menace  to  or  interference  with,  free  labor;  and,  in  presenting  you  with  this 


PARK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT.  803 

report,  your  Commissioners  would  like  your  opinion  on  the  subject  of  utiliz- 
ing the  labor  referred  to  for  the  purpose  indicated. 

A  TUNNEL 

Has  been  constructed  with  the  sum  subscribed  by  the  Market  Street  Cable 
Railway  Company.  This  runs  under  the  main  driveway,  and  into  the 
Children's  Quarters,  thus  allowing  foot  passengers  to  reach  that  portion  of 
the  Park  without  the  danger  always  attendant  upon  crossing  the  driving- 
roads,  and  is,  both  in  its  useful  and  ornamental  properties,  a  decided  feature 
of  the  Park  attractions. 

DRAINAGE   AND   PIPE-LAYING 

Have  been  carefully  considered  during  the  past  year.  Many  breakages  have 
occurred  in  the  pipes,  and  much  time  and  water  lost;  and  it  was  deemed 
advisable  to  expend  a  proper  amount  for  the  improvement  of  water  distribu- 
tion. There  being,  however,  no  maps  upon  which  the  exact  positions  of  the 
various  pipe  lines  were  marked,  nor  any  data  from  which  they  could  be 
ascertained,  the  work  was  of  necess'ty  laborious.  The  pipe  lines  which  have 
been  rendered  dangerous  or  useless  by  age  have  been  entirely  replaced,  and 
the  distribution  of  water  has  been  greatly  facilitated  by  tunneling  into  the 
north  side  of  the  reservoir,  which  is  situated  on  Strawberry  Hill,  and  con- 
ducting therefrom  into  the  main  driveway,  at  the  point  known  as  the  "cut," 
a  twelve-inch  pipe,  which  meets  the  driveway  at  the  apex  or  summit,  and 
thus  distributes  water  into  smaller  pipes  which  run  toward  the  ocean  and 
back  toward  the  Park  proper.  The  question  of  drainage  and  sewerage  is 
more  or  less  a  serious  one.  The  former  question  is  for  the  present  solved  by 
the  f  vee  use  of  sub-drainage  pipes,  and  the  latter  by  the  construction  of  a 
sewer  leading  into  the  main  sewer  system  of  the  city,  connecting  with  it  at 
Haight  street. 

THE   TREE    PLANTATIONS 

Are  in  comparatively  a  healthy  condition,  having  been  carefully  and  properly 
thinned,  and  thus  greatly  improved  in  appearance  and  health,  though  the 
vigor  and  future  of  the  forest  trees  of  the  Park  have  been  greatly  endangered 
for  want  of  proper  care;  and  expert  arboriculturists  fear  that  a  large  number 
of  trees  that  were  allowed  to  grow  up  in  a  confined  space  will  die  in  the  near 
future,  and  those  remaining  present  a  dwarfed  and  unhealthy  appearance. 
The  proper  care  of  the  forestry  has  caused  much  unjust  criticism  toward  your 
Commission.  The  wisdom  of  judiciously  thinning  oat  the  plantations  has, 
however,  been  demonstrated  during  the  past  year.  Such  a  Park  as  ours 
should  have,  not  a  mass  of  thickly-planted  trees,  confined  merely  to  pine, 
cypress  and  eucalyptus,  but  should  have  large  healthy  trees  of  various  spe- 
cies, with  wide-spreading  branches,  affording  shade  and  ornamental  appear- 
ance; and  this  can  only  be  secured  by  the  constant  introduction  of  new  trees, 


804  PAKE  COMMISSIONERS'  BEPOET. 

which  can  be  properly  grown,  and  also  by  proper  care  of  them  after  planting.. 
The  introduction  of  these  new  species  will  depend  much  upon  the  success  of 
the  proposed  arboretum,  before  mentioned  in  this  report. 

THE    MENAGEEIE   QUESTION 

Is  before  us.  The  subject  needs  but  little  elaboration.  While  to  a  great 
extent  the  maintenance  of  a  menagerie  is  foreign  in  its  detail  to  the  mainte- 
nance of  a  park  and  its  driveways,  it  is  yet  a  distinct  feature  of  any  public 
recreation  ground.  It  is  made  so  by  the  desire  of  people  to  see  animal  life. 
In  Fairmount  Park,  Philadelphia,  the  menagerie  occupies  an  area  which  is- 
leased  for  a  term  of  ninety-nine  years  to  a  corporation  which  maintains  it, 
charging  an  admission  fee.  In  New  York  Central  Park  the  menagerie  is  an 
important  feature,  located  at  the  very  entrance  of  the  park  proper,  and  is 
supported  by  the  city  at  an  expense  of  $31,000  per  annum.  The  object  in 
visiting  Lincoln  Park  of  Chicago  is  principally  to  see  its  collection  of  ani- 
mals, as  there  has  been  very  little  attempt  made  to  furnish  other  attractions, 
which,  however,  are  presented  to  the  public  in  the  other  parks,  located  in  a 
different  portion  of  the  city. 

But,  in  brief,  the  question  of  a  menagerie  in  the  Park  seems  to  resolve 
itself  into  a  question  of  finance.  For  about  $70,000  an  area  of  about  thirty 
acres  can  be  converted  into  a  first-class  menagerie,  with  proper  buildings,, 
water-tanks  and  accessories,  the  sum  of  $30,000  being  necessary  for  the  pur- 
chase of  the  animals.  It  is  difficult,  however,  to  state  the  exact  amount 
required  for  maintaining  the  menagerie,  the  climatic  changes  being  different 
from  other  localities'  but  we  believe  that  the  entire  cost  of  maintenance,  as 
well  as  replacing  animals  on  account  of  death,  etc.,  would  not  exceed  $17.000 
per  annum.  It  is  impossible,  however,  to  devote  for  the  purpose  of  a 
menagerie  the  original  sum  necessary  for  its  establishment  from  the  Park 
Fund,  and  doubtful  whether  it  would  be  possible  to  expend  even  the  amount 
necessary  for  its  maintenance,  as  with  the  additional  roads  and  paths  con- 
structed, trees,  shrubs  and  grass  planted,  comes  an  additional  expense  for 
their  maintenance,  and  with  the  increasing  area  of  the  reclaimed  and  orna- 
mental portions  of  the  Park  comes  necessary  increased  expense.  Therefore, 
the  qnestion  of  establishing  a  menagerie  in  our  Park  seems  to  be  for  the 
present  in  abeyance,  though  a  method  may  be  suggested  by  your  Honorable 
Board  by  which  a  proper  fund  for  this  purpose  might  be  created. 

POINT  LOBOS  EOAD 

Was,  some  years  since,  placed  under  the  control  of  the  Board  of  Park  Com- 
missioners. It,  however,  is  no  park,  nor  has  it  an  /thing  park-like  in  its 
entire  length.  A  majority  of  the  houses  have  their  ^ss-pools  in  the  vicinity 
of  the  sidewalks.  A  part  of  the  Geary  Street  Kailway  has  its  road-bed  several 
feet  below  the  general  grade  of  the  road,  and  it  is  not  proper  .that  money 
should  be  taken  from  the  Park  Fund  for  the  maintenance  of  this  road.  It 


PARK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT.  805 

•Should  be  under  the  supervision  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets,  that 
necessary  steps  might  be  taken  to  properly  grade  and  sewer  it.  It  will  be 
granted  without  argument  that  the  supervision  and  maintenance  of  the  Point 
Xobos  road  should  not  be  within  the  duties  of  the  Park  Commissioners;  and 
your  Honorable  Board  is  earnestly  requested  to  take  the  necessary  steps  to 
relieve  them  of  this  duty,  and  place  it  where  it  properly  belongs. 

MOUNTAIN   LAKE   PAEK  • 

* 

Oould  be  made  a  great  addition  to  our  Park  system  with  comparatively  a 
'Small  expenditure  of  money,  as  connecting  roads  are  already  in  process  of 
construction.  It  will  be  necessary,  however,  to  secure  from  the  Government 
about  thirty  acres  of  the  adjoining  land,  including  the  lake,  which  would  be 
*he  chief  source  of  attraction  when  the  work  of  improving  this  park  had  been 
completed.  I  believe,  through  Congress,  that  this  land  might  be  secured,  as 
it  is  merely  a  hollow  which  is  of  no  service  to  the  Government  for  either 
military  4or  defensive  purposes,  and  receives  no  attention  at  its  hands  for 
ornamental  use. 

BUENA   VISTA   PAEK 

Has  received  but  little  attention,  although  the  plantations  and  roadway 
already  planted  and  constructed  have  been  properly  cared  for.  It  will,  how- 
ever, in  course  of  time,  be  a  valuable  adjunct  to  the  Park  proper,  as  a  point 
of  observation,  when  driveways  have  been  constructed  and  other  improve- 
ments added. 

THE   GEEAT   HIGHWAY 

On  the  north  side  of  the  Park  along  the  ocean  offers  in  its  present  state  but 
little  attraction,  the  shifting  sand  rendering  it  difficult  to  drive  to  the  beach, 
which  can  be  used  only  at  low  tide.  It  is  hoped,  however,  that  in  the  future 
a  boulevard  will  be  constructed  along  the  entire  length  of  the  highway,  thus 
making  one  of  the  most  beautiful  ocean  drives  in  the  world.  This  is  net  at 
all  impracticable,  but  of  course  is  not  within  the  means  of  the  Park  Com- 
missioners with  their  present  appropriation. 

That  portion  of  the  highway  extending  from  the  Life-saving  Station 
toward  the  Cliff  House  is  kept  passable.  To  prevent  it  being  covered  with 
sand  from  time  to  time  would  necessitate  the  raising  of  the  road-bed  about 
six  feet,  and  the  necessary  planting  to  prevent  the  adjoining  sand  from 
shifting.  It  is  questionable,  however,  whether  we  should  expend  the  neces- 
sary amount  for  this  purpose,  as  the  road  is  used  principally  by  those  visit- 
ing the  Cliff  House  and  Sutro  Heights,  and  other  points  not  within  the  Park 
proper. 

THE   SAND   HILLS 

In  the  Park  are  in  a  fair  way  to  be  entirely  reclaimed  by  the  free  use  of 
-arundo  arenaria  and  wild  lupin.  The  former  is  a  sea-bent  grass,  being  a 


806  PAKK  COMMISSIONED  KEPOKT. 

native  of  Holland  and  other  coast  countries  of  Europe,  though  a  large  quan- 
tify of  it  is  propagated  in  the  Park;  and  the  lupin  is  indigenous  to  this  coast. 
The  grass  is  raised  in  the  Park,  and  both  from  roots  and  seeds,  the 
former  principally.  The  grass,  having  a  strong,  creeping  perennial  root, 
soon  prepares  the  way  for  the  promiscuous  planting  of  the  lupin,  and  the 
sand  baving  been  thus  controlled,  enough  of  the  salt  having  been  absorbed, 
tfce  plai  ting  of  the  pinus  insignis  and  P.  Maritima  Lamarix  and  other  hardy 
trees,  the  leptospermuin  and  like  shrubs,  completes  the  reclamation.  Aa 
this  work  is  being  steadily  prosecuted,  it  is  only  a  question  of  time  when  the 
west  end  of  the  Park,  adjoining  the  ocean,  will  be  in  the  same  state  of  orna- 
mentation as  that  portion  toward  the  east,  which  is  now  so  attractive. 

The  Superintendent's  report  is  as  follows: 

SAN  FRANCISCO*  June  30,  1889. 
To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Park  Commissioners  : 

GENTLEMEN:  I  have  the  honor  to  hand  you  herewith  my  report  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  with 
this  date: 

The  year's  work  commenced  with  grading,  shaping  and  loaming  the  grounds  around  the 
Children's  house;  five  hundred  and  fifty  loads  of  prepared  soil  were  used  in  this  vicinity  for  the  lawn 
slopes.  Several  walks  with  easy  grades  were  also  laid  oufc,  graded  and  macadamized  around  and 
west  of  the  house.  One,  twelve  feet  in  width  and  four  hundred  and  fifty  feet  in  length,  was  con- 
structed from  the  house  to  the  southern  drive;  another,  fifteen  feet  wide  and  two  hundred  and  fifty 
feet  in  length,  was  constructed  from  the  building  along  the  westerly  side  of  the  house,  and  running 
between  the  Oak  Knoll  and  the  foot  of  the  slope,  and  joining  the  ma?n  walk  on  the  south  side  of  the 
playgrounds;  another  walk  was  constructed,  six  feet  by  two  hundred,  running  parallel  with  this  one,, 
but  on  a  higher  grade;— this  walk  overlooks  the  entire  playgrounds.  Spaces  were  left  in  suitable 
spots  where  swings,  see-saws,  sand-boxes,  etc.,  were  set  up.  There  have  been  set  up  in  these  grounds 
to  date  ten  swings,  four  Maypoles,  four  see-^aws,  eight  sand-boxes  and  six  spring-boards  for  the  frea 
•ase  of  the  children.  A  large  cesspool,  twenty-five  feet  deep  and  twelve  feet  wide,  with  eight-inch 
sewer-pipe  connecting  with  house  drains,  has  been  constructed,  and  several  hundred  feet  of  water- 
pips  were  laid  through  these  grounds,  with  the  necessary  stop-cocks  and  hydrants.  The  cei'ter  of 
the  gioup  west  of  the  house  has  been  planted  with  shrubbery,  the  margins  of  the  walks  laid  with, 
turf,  and  the  slopes  sown  with  blue  grass.  West  of  the  house  a  carriage  stand  with  hitching-posts 
has  been  constructed,  large  trees  hare  been  planted  for  shelter,  and  the  concourse  connected  with 
the  transverse  road  by  a  short  entrance,  twenty-five  feet  in  width;  two  walks  have  also  been  con- 
structed between  the  concourse  and  Children's  house. 

THE  MUSIC  GR017ND3. 

On  the  Fourth  of  July  the  Key  Monument  was  unveiled,  and  the  new  music  grounds  dedicated 
with  appropriate  ceremonies.  The  opening  of  these  grounds  necessitated  many  changes  being  made 
in  roads  and  paths  leading  to  these  grounds.  About  fifty  sign-boards  and  guides  have  been  pro- 
cured and  set  up  for  the  guidance  of  visitors;  and  the  benches  from  the  old  music  grounds  and  three 
hundred  new  ones  have  been  placed  in  the  auditorium.  In  the  near  future  more  space,  both  for 
benches  and  for  carriages,  will  be  required.  On  fine  Sundays  hundreds  of  people  cannot  be  accom- 
modated with  seats;  the  concourse  also  is  frequently  overcrowded.  In  the  early  spring  about  fifty 
large  elm  and  other  shade-trees  wer<?  planted  amongst  the  benches  to  give  both  shade  and  shelter. 
These  grounds  have  proved  a  great  success;  they  have  now  been  open  nearly  a  year,  and  no  accident 
ha«  happened  to  either  horse  or  man,  a  marked  contrast  to  the  year  previous  in  the  old  grounds. 

IMPROVEMENT  OF  MAIN  VALLEY. 

The  improvement  of  this  valley  is  a  most  satisfactory  piece  of  landscape  gardening.  Nothing 
gives  a  more  park-like  appearance,  or  a  more  agreeable  impression  to  the  landscape,  than  bioad, 


PAEK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT.  807 


lawns  and  long  vistas,  such  as  this,  with  its  charming  variety  of  outline,  nankal  with  the  tall  pfne* 
amongst  the  shadows  of  which  the  grassy  nooks  ars  lost,  giving  an  idea  of  mucu  grater  extent  than 
there  really  is.  This  lawn  should  be  carried  further  to  the  westward  as  far  as  the  trans-verse  roa^r 
or  even  beyond,  to  where  the  large  group  of  sugar-pines-have  been  planted  and  which  are  now  begin- 
ning to  show  their  character.  I  would  recormnend  this  location  for  your  proposed  arboretum,  and  a 
start  should  be  made  at  once;  for,  unliks  fine  structures  or  buildings  that  decline  with  age,  trees  im- 
prove in  appearance,  in  interest  and  in  grandeur  as  the  years  roll  by.  In  a  hundred  years  from  now 
some  of  them  would  hardly  be  half  grown.  I  confidently  believe  that  no  small  part  of  the  utility  of 
the  Park  will  be  the  cultivation  of  a  taste  for  arboreal  and  floral  adornment,  the  stimulus  to  a  wider 
tree  culture  and  the  introducing  and  testing  of  new  and  valuable  varieties  of  trees  and  shrubs. 

THE  BEER  PARK. 

Work  on  this  popular  and  attractive  addition  to  the  features  of  the  Park  was  commenced  about 
the  middle  of  October.  The  principal  work  on  this  improvement  comprises  the  building  of  the  fejjce 
aud  the  grading  and  macadamizing  of  a  walk  and  carriage  drive  around  the  inclosure. 

The  fence  is  2,500  feet  in  length  and  eight  feet  in  height,  built  of  wood  and  wire.  The  walk  is 
ten  feet  in  width  and  follows  the  fence  ail  around;  the  drive,  as  nearly  as  practicable,  follows  the 
same  line.  The  walk  is  nicely  shaded  and  sheltered;  at  convenient  distances  benches  have  been 
placed  for  the  use  of  visitors;  a  drinking  pool  twenty-five  feet  by  twelve  feet,  aud  a  rustic  shelter, 
have  also  been  constructed  at  the  bottom  of  the  glen. 

Fourteen  varieties  of  grasses  have  been  sown  on  the  southern  slope  to  furnish  winter  feed  for 
the  deer.  A  large  space  has  also  been  planted  with  Bermuda  grass  for  summer  pasture.  The  herd 
now  numbers  twenty  head,  all  donated. 

THE  BRIDGE. 

Toward  the  end  of  last  year  work  was  commenced  on  the  construction  of  the  main  walk  leading? 
from  the  Ha  ght  street  entrance  of  the  Park  to  the  Children's  playgrounds.  This  walk  is  fifteen  feet 
in  width  and  four  hundred  feet  long.  Some  very  heavy  cutting  was  required  at  this  place  to  get 
sufficiently  low  to  pass  under  the  south  drive.  The  material  taken  from  the  cut  was  disposed  of  by 
raising  the  walk  and  border  south  of  the  Haight-street  entrance,  which  enabled  us  to  do  away  wit'i 
the  narrow  and  somewhat  dangerous  steps  that  forme- ly  stood  at  this  point.  Over  the  walk  a  very 
handsome  bridge  has  been  erected,  and  the  drive  graded  up  to  the  crown  of  the  arch.  On  each  side 
of  the  bridge  a  concrete  sidewalk  ten  feet  in  width  has  been  laid,  with  curbing  fifteen  inches  wide* 
on  which  handsome  cast-iron  pillars  have  been  set,  which  give  a  good  finish  to  the  work. 

THE  LAKE  (situated  near  the  entrance  to  the  Children's  playground). 

The  Alvord  Lake  has  been  doubled  in  size;  it  has  also  been  beautified  by  constructing  severa. 
bold  rocky  points  which  greatly  improve  the  outline  and  general  appearance.  Bam  >oo,  weeping 
willows,  sophoras  and  other  semi-aquatic  trees  and  plants  have  been  planted,  giving  a  distinctive 
character  to  these  grounds. 

THE  ROCKERY. 

A  rockery  has  been  constructed  on  the  south  side  of  the  entrance  to  the  ball  grounds,  the  rocks 
being  hauled  from  the  hilts  south  of  the  park.  They  are  placed  as  they  are  in  nature— cropping  oc  t 
of  the  bank.  This  difficult  piece  of  work  has  been  highly  commended  by  ^ood  judges.  Amongst 
the  rocks  ferns,  creepers  and  other  Aipine  plants  have  been  planted. 

THE  NEW  BRIDLE    ROAD. 

In  the  construction  of  this  road  several  heavy  pieces  of  g;  ading  bad  to  be  performed.  The  great 
distance  the  clay  and  loam  had  to  be  hauled  added  greatly  to  the  expense.  The  road  is  nvaily  a 
mile  in  length,  and  twenty  feet  in  width;  it  runs  parallel  with  the  main  dri^e  all  the  way.  Between 
the  ride  and  the  drive,  from  two  to  five  rows  of  low-growing  shrubs  have  been  planted  to  form  a 
dividing  line  between  the  roads;  the  embankments  south  of  the  road  are  planted  thickly  with  hardy 
trees  and  shrubs  which  will,  in  a  few  years,  completely  cover  the  ground.  About  twelve  thousi-.nl 
plants  were  used  in  this  work,  for  each  of  which  a  large  hole  was  dug  and  filled  with  Icam  before 
planting.  A  coating  of  clay  six  inches  thick  was  hauled  from  the  clay  pit  and  spread  over  the  entire>

roadway;  and  water-pipe  has  been  laid  all  a'ong  the  south  side  of  the  road,  with  the  necessary  gates 
and  hydrants.  Five  openings  have  been  left,  at  about  equal  distances  apart,  for  entering  or  leaving 
the  path  at  each  entrance;  and  a  notice  is  conspicuously  posted  notifying,  drivers  that  no  teams  are 
allowed  on  the  bridle  path.  As  soon  a  }  opened  it  became  very  popular  and  has  gi?en  great 
satisfaction. 

FORESTRY. 

The  planting  took  about  two  months  of  the  garden  force  durine  winter,  about  159,000  trees  being 
planted,  mostly  at  the  westerly  or  sand  district  of  the  park.  About  one  hundred  acres  still  remain 
uiiplanted,  for  which  enough  trees  are  now  started  in  the  nursery.  The  entire  crown  of  Strawberry 
Hill  has  also  been  planted,  mostly  with  pine  and  cypress. 

SEWERING. 

A.  sewer  (eight  Inches  in  diameter  of  pipe)  has  been  laid  from  the  entrance  to  the  music  grounds, 
along  the  main  drive,  with  outlet  in  the  deer  glen,  where  a  cut  of  ten  feet  in  depth  ha.d  to  be  made 
to  give  the  necessary  fall  to  the  drain.  A  branch  from  this  main  haa  been  laid  to  the  southwest 
corner  of  the  carriage  concourse  to  drain  the  music  grounds. 

STRUCTURES. 

A  new  room  has  been  added  to  the  lodge,  in  which  is  held  the  meetings  of  your  Honorable 
Board.  It  is  well  built  and  admirably  adapted  to  the  purpose  for  which  it  was  intended.  It  has 
been  found  necessary  to  place  in  the  office  a  large  fireproof  safe  for  the  preservation  of  our  books 
and  records. 

WATER-WORKS. 

A  twelve-inch  main  has  been  laid  and  connected  with  the  westerly  end  of  the  reservoir  on  Straw- 
berry Hill.  This  pipe  extends  to  the  foot  of  the  hill,  where  a  gate,  a  branch  and  a  reducer  from 
twelve  to  eigut  inches  has  been  set;  from  that  point  to  the  cut  in  the  rocky  ridge  an  eight-inch  pipe 
is  being  laid  to  connect  with  the  old  four-inch  pipe.  From  this  Junction  to  the  entrance  to  the 
speed  road  a  six-inch  main  has  been  laid,  and  a  gooseneck  erected  for  loading  the  water-wagon. 
Along  this  main  branch  plugs  one  hundred  feet  apart  have  been  left,  where  branch  pipes  can  be 
connected  when  wanted. 

COMPOST  HEAPS. 

To  obtain  the  best  results  from  newly-planted  trees,  shrubs,  lawns  or  flowers,  it  is  desirable  to 
enrich  the  soil  in  every  possible  way.  The  miserable  sand  composing  the  soil  of  the  park  being  too 
poor  to  grow  even  a  blade  of  grass  without  first  being  enriched,  I  have  therefore  at  every  possible 
opportunity  collected  and  saved  for  future  use  everything  we  could  get  in  the  way  of  loam  or 
manure.  Through  the  kindness  of  property-owners  south  of  the  park,  the  teams  were  allowed  !o 
haul  several  hundred  loads  of  loam  from  their  property  for  our  compost  heap,  and  this  loam,  when 
mixed  with  the  manure  hauled  from  the  dairies  around,  makes  a  first-class  soil. 

MAINTENANCE  OF  THE  PARK. 

The  increase  in  the  cost  of  maintaining  the  grounds  this  year  is  accounted  for  by  the  increased 
area  in  lawns,  walks,  flowers  and  shrubbery  laid  out  within  the  last  two  years.  The  larger  improved 
pa.rts  to  be  kept  up  are  the  valley  in  front  of  the  Ladies'  Cottasre,  the  new  music  grounds,  the  grounds 
around  the  Children's  playgrounds,  the  large  main  \alley  south  of  the  three  flagstaff s,  the  south  side 
of  the  avenue,  and  the  grounds  at  the  Hayes-street  ent.auce,  besides  many  smaller  pieces  requiring 
constant  care  and  attention  the  year  round. 

THE  NURSERY. 

The  nursery  has  this  year  had  many  new  species  and  varieties  added  to  last  year's  stock,  all  in 
good  order.  About  half  an  acre  of  new  ground  has  been  loamed  and  planted  with  seedlings. 

CONSERVATORY. 

• 

The  conservatory  was  never  in  better  condition  than  at  the  present  time,  and  will  compare 
favorably,  either  in  the  health  of  the  plants  or  the  variety  grown,  with  any  collection  in  the  country. 


PARK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT.  809 


The  collection  of  orchids  is  very  good,  sever*  1  new  and  rarerietips  having  been  added  during  the 
past  year.  The  plant-houses  and  propagating  pits  behind  the  main  show-houses  will  require  new 
paths  in  the  near  future.  The  concrete  paths  laid,  in  dome  ana  other  large  houses  make  these 
houses  much  c.eauer,  and  easy  to  keep  in  order. 

FOREST  MAINTENANCE. 

The  careful  thinning  the  forest  trees  have  received  during  the  past  two  y?ars  has  greatly  im- 
proved the  plantations.  The  trees  are  now  free  from  scale  and  are  making  stronger  and  better 
growth  since  the  limbs  were  allowed  to  spread  out  as  they  do  in  nature. 

This  thinning  should  have  been  done  years  since.  For  your  perusal  I  at!  ach  a  letter  on  file  in 
.the  office  pertaining  to  forestry. 

COMMUNICATION  FEOM  HON.  FEED.  LAW  OLMSTED. 

"SALT  LAKE.* 
B.  P.  HAMMOND,  JB.,  CHAIRMAN  OF  PARK  COMMISSION,  SAN  FRANCISCO  : 

DEAR  SIR:  I  have  the  honor  to  reply  to  your  note,  received  as  I  was  about  to  leave  San  Fran- 
cisco. You  ask  that  I  gjve  you  in  a  few  words  the  result  of  my  impression  received  from  the  exami- 
nation which  I  have  recently  made  of  your  Golden  Gate  Park  and  especially  my  opinion  as  to  the 
'condition  of  its  forest-tree  plantations,  and  the  necessity  of  thinning  out  the  trees  composing 
them,  etc. 

The  work  of  improvement  of  your  park  site,  in  common  with  that  of  others,  naturally  is  dwided 
into  two  classes,  according  to  the  purposes  had  in  view— the  one,  the  creation  of  a  park,  the  other, 
providing  for  its  occupation  and  use,  and  the  amusement  of  people  therein. 

The  more  important  is  that  of  obtaining  the  apparently  natural  outlines  and  growths  constitu- 
ting a  pa,rk  fit  for  occupation  by  a  city's  crowds*  and  suitable  for  the  d^isfcnctly  rural  recreation  of 
people,  as  a  relief  and  counterpoise  to  the  uvban  conditions  of  their  ordinary  circumstances  of  life. 

The  attaining  of  this  end  must  be  largely  the  work  of  nature;  but  that  the  result  may  he 
altogether  suitable,  as  well  as  pleasing  and  interesting,  obstacles  to  the  necessities  of  use  must  be 
removed,  the  desired  work  of  nature  must  be  started  and  assisted,  and  the  natural  development  of 
plantations  be  studied,  guided  and  encouraged  in  various  ways.  Beyond  this,  in  the  preparation  of 
your  park  proper,  nothing  else  is  necessary  but  the  provision  of  ways  by  which  the  results  of  nature's 
work  may  be  enjoyed  by  the  public  without  injuring  and  wearing  them  out. 

In  noticing,  as  you  ask  me  to  do,  what  has  been  accomplished  on  your  grounds  in  this  w^y,  I  am 
able  to  compare  the  site  for  the  proposed  Golden  Gate  Park,  as  I  examined  it  last  week  and  as  I  saw 
it  twenty  years  ago,  when  the  question  of  its  selection  was  being  discussed.  And  now  I  say  tha 
the  result  thus  far  obtained  in  the  legitimate  line  of  park  creation,  although  as  yet  comparatively 
but  little  attractive  to  the  public,  or  effective  to  the  end  in  view,  is  an  achievement  far  exceeding  all 
that  I  have  believed  possible^  and  that  it  gives  perfect  assurance  that  if  the  work  so  well  begun  is  as 
wisely  carried  on,  no  city  in  the  world  will  have  as  good  reason  for  taking  pride  in  its  Park  as  Saa 
Francisco. 

The  Golden  Gate  Park,  judiciously  developed,  is  certain  to  hava  a  unique  and  incomparable 
character;  and  this,  not  because  of  any  striving  after  any  artificial  originality,  but  because  of  the 
inauguration  of  its  design  and  growth  by  a  thoroughly  studious,  inventive,  and  scientific  exercise  of 
judgment  in  grasping  such  opportunities  as  nature  afforded  and  in  the  solving  of  an  extraordinary 
problem  presented  in  the  circumstances  of  the  locality. 

The  creation  of  a  park  on  this  site  in  imitation  of  other  great  parks  is  a  result  which  could  have 
"been  accomplished  in  a  limited  degree  by  the  expenditure  or  great  sums  of  money,  and  its  value 
would  have  been  more  than  measur-d  by  its  cost.  But  the  starting  of  growths  wnich  will  success- 
fully come  to  maturity  and  be  maintained  at  small  cost  on  this  site,  having  a  park-like  effect,  unique 
and  singular  though  it  be,  and  the  outlining  of  a  plan  admitting  of  its  pleasurable  occupation  for 
rural  enjoyment,  is  an  achievement  of  value  to  San  Francisco  very  far  in  excess  of  its  cost.  This,  I 
think,  has  been  effected.  The  foundation  is  laid  and  the  possibilities  demonstrated.

810  PARK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT. 


As  to  the  other  line  of  improvement  which  you  are  called  on  to  cairy  out,  it  is  that  of  providing- 
grounds  for  pub.ic  entertainment.  This  is  done  chiefly  by  a  show  of  plants  arranged  and  displayed 
n  a  manner  the  reverse  of  a  natural  or  rural  order. 

What  has  been  done  for  this  purpose,  chiefly  in  the  gai'den  of  your  Conservatory  Valley,  is  a  good 
piece  of  handicraft  in  the  style  that  has  for  some  time  past  been  in  fashion,  but  irom  which  a  re- 
action seems  now  setting  in  throughout  communities  older  than  your  own. 

Your  ornamented  ground  and  flower  garden  being  in  no  respect  the  product  of  local  circum- 
stance, or  reprentative  of  distinct'y  local  taste  or  study,  and  its  full  value  being  already  realized, 
calls  for  no  expre&slon  of  judgment  from  me  as  to  the  possibilities  of  its  future.  1  will  oniy  say  that 
I  am  inclined  to  think  that  it  was  unfortunate  that  ground  was  taken  for  this  purpose  within  the 
territory  to  which  the  term  park  has  been  applied,  because  it  tends  to  confusion  of  public  opinion 
between  the  wholly  irreconcilable  purposes  of  a  rural  park  and  those  of  an  urban  garden,  and  to  lavor 
ueglect.of  the  more  substantial  and  more  permanently  important  of  the  two. 

In  my  view  it  is  most  desirable  that  the  public,  to  whom  you  are  responsible,  should  bear  in 
mind  that  your  fine  garden  ground,  with  its  arrangements  for  crowds  of  peop.e,  us  brilliancy,  its 
bustle  of  carriages,  and  its  brass  band,  Is  to  gain  nothing  of  importance  through  future  growth, 
and  'that  should  it  be  swept  away  by  a  flood,  or  ruined  by  neglect  or  parsimony,  a  similar  and  a 
valuable  a  means  of  entertainment  could  be  produced  in  a  short  time,  at  small  expense,  on  the  same 
site,  or  in  any  other  part  of  the  city. 

It  is  no  more  an  essential  part  of  the  rural  park  which  you  so  much  need,  and  in  the  future 
wiU'absolutely  require,  for  your; people,  tuan  is  a  picture  hung  in  a  frame  an  essential  pa)  t  of  the 
house  that  holds  it.  Two  or  three  years  from  now  it  would  be  of  little  importance  whether  it  is  this 
year  well  managed  or  not.  Lost  ground  in  this  class  of  improvement  can  quickly  be  recovered 
Not  so  with  the  Park  proper— the  permanent  and  really  valuable  portion  of  yqur  charge— the 
grounds  at  large,  with  their  various  growths  of  tree  s  and  shrubs  and  plants  that  produce,  or  are  to 
produce  yourr  rural  effects.  The  degreejof  ^wisdom  of  its  management  to-day  governs  the  value  of 
results  in  years  to  come. 

That  which  has  beeji  achieved  points  the  way  for  future  action.  It  is  no  longer  an  obscure 
problem.  Observe  and  study  well  the  results  before  you.  Unless_managed  with  disgraceful  waste 
of  the  opportunities  now  offered,  there  is  no  reason  why  the  park  proper  should  not  go  on  gaining 
in  value  through  greater  fitness  for  its  purpose,  year  after  year,  indefinitely.  It  cannot  fail,  under 
dead  ntly  conservative  management  and  sustained  study  of  the  demands  which  nature  makes  ap- 
parent to  be  far  more  attractive  and  useful  ten  years  hence  than  now,  and  a  hundred' yeais  henca 
than  ten. 

As  to  the  question  you  more  particularly  ask  me  to  consider— the  condition  and  management 
of  the  forest  tree  growths— I  consider  that  Mr.  Hah's  views,  embodied  in  the  report  you  hand  me, 
are  unquestionably  sound,  and  my  examination  of  the  place  enables  me  to  say  that  his  statement, 
sustaining  them  appear  to  me  to  be  moderately  made  and  accurately  correct. 

The  conditions  of  the  case  are  in  such  degree  unusual.Jand  the  results  thus  far  attained  so  con- 
clusive of  the  soundness  of  the  course  recommended,  that  it  would  be  unjustifiable  to  turn  aside 
from  it,  even  if  no  evidence  from  the  experience  of  others  could  be  offered  in  support  of  It.  His. 
theory  can  stand  on  its  own  legs. 

But,  in  fact,  it  is  sustained  by  all  experience  the  world  over.  No  man  with  the  slightest  c'aira 
to  speak  with  authority  can  be  found  in  the  least  at  difference  with  him.  I  do  not  doubt  that  it  was 
essential  to  the  successful  growth  of  the  designed  masses  of  foliage  of  the  Golden  Gate  Park,  that 
its  tree  should  be  planted  as  closely  as  they  were.  I  do  not  doubt  that  it  is  equally  essential  to  the 
growth  in  a  healthy  way  of  such  masses  that  as  the  trees  advanca  in  size,  their  number  shall  ba 
greatly  reduced.  It  is  a  common  practice,  as  Mr.  Hall  states,  after  certain  periods  of  growth,  not 
to  leave  more  than  one  out  of  five  of  trees  originally  planted.  The  best  -park  plantations  in  the- 
world  (by  which  I  mean  the  healthiest,  sturdiest,  longest  lived,  and  most  agreeable  in  natural 
aspect),  have  ben  obtained  in  this  way. 

The  condition  of  the  older  plantations  in|  Golden  Gate  Park  has  now  become  such,  through 
neglect  of  the  timely,  continuous  and  gradual  thinning  originally  intended,  that  very  many 
comparatively  large  trees  have  to  be  cut  out;  and  in  many  places  the  older  groups  cannot  be  judi- 
ciously treated  without  temporarily  injuring  their  appearance.  If  TO  avoid  such  momentary  appa- 
rent injury  the  neglect  is  allowed  to  continue,  the  trees  will  soon  be  ruined;  that  is  to  say  the 
majority  will  come  to  a  miserable,  lingering  death,  and  those  surviving,  instead  of  presenting 
agreeable  and  effective  masses  of  foliage,  will  ba  awkward,  gawky,  semi-detached  trees.  The  pur- 


PAKE  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT.  811" 


ose  with  which  the  plantations  have  been  started,  both  as  to  effects  of  scenery  and.the  effects  of 
bodily  comfort  for  those  visiting  the  park,  will  then  be  attainable  only  by  cuttiug  the  old  trees 
away  altogether,  and  starting  again  with  new  plantations  to  be  better  managed. 

In  conclusion,  let  me  counsel  you  in  general  terms,  to  remember  that  your  Park  :s  not  for  to- 
day, but  for  all  time— so  long  as  you  have  a  city.  Its  development  is  an  interesting  problem,  no  longer 
obscure,  .to  be  sure,  but  yet  to  be  studied  in  a  careful,  and  sustained  manner.  You  have  your 
present  population  to  satisfy  and  please.  It  is  an  intelligent  population,  beyond  a  doubt,  and  pos 
sessed  of  u  high  appreciation  of  good  results.  But  it  is  to  be  expected  that  future  populations  will 
be  more  intelligent  and  more  appreciative. 

The  art  of  landscape  architecture  is  a  specialty  which,  in  its  exercise,  peculiarly  dem  ands  a 
forecast  of  the  future.  The  materials  of  the  work  themselves  grow  and  are  progressive.  Towo.'k 
with  them  demands  sustained  observation  and  intelligent  making  of  deductions.  I  hope  that 
Golden  Gate  Park  may  have  these.  It  has  been  the  ruination  of  many  such  grounds  to  have  them  > 
pass  rapidly  under  successive  managements.  The  artistic  direction  of  work  on  such  grounds  should, 
as  far  as  posiible,  be  continuous  when  once  found  fitting.  It  is  not  to  be  expected  that  the  public 
will  undersi  and  the  necessity  for  an  object  of^much  that  is  done  on  such  works.  To  do  your  duty, 
you  will  often  have  to  sanction  apparently  reckless  destruction  of  some  present  result.  Such  grounds 
are  developed  as  to  details  by  stages  of  growth.  When  the  timt  comes,  one  stage  must  give  way  to 
the  next.  Yours  respectfully, 

FREDERICK  LAW  OLMSTKAD." 


WAYS. 

The  roads,  walks  and  concourses  are  all  in  fair  condition.  The  north  ridge  road  ha  shad  » 
coating  of  rock;  the  avenue  and  other  times  have  a-so  '^een  repaired  where  required;  four  sprinklers 
are  constantly  employed  keeping  down  the  dust;  and  at  least  two  additional  carts  are  required  to 
keep  the  drives  free  of  dust  on  windy  afternoons. 

FUTURE  WORKS. 

One  of  the  most  pressing  for  immediate  use  is  the  construction  of  the  beach  walk.  This  walk 
instead  of  following  the  winding  of  the  drive,  should  leave  it  at  times,  and  wind  through  the  f  rest 
and  shrubbery,  connecting  with  the  drive  at  each  of  its  northerly  bends.  In  this  way  the  wa.k  will 
be  more  interesting,  better  sheltered,  more  free  from  dust,  and  considerably  shorter  and  more 
direct. 

CONSERVATORY  VALLEY. 

Since  the  new  music  grounds  have  been  finished,  the  largo  concourse  in  front  of  the  old  band 
stand  is  not  required.  This  concourse  ought  to  be  entirely  changed;  nothing,  in  my  judgment, 
would  he  so  appropriate  or  harmonize  so  well  with  the  surroundings  as  the  proposed  grand  fountain 
and  basin;  this  improvement  would  greatly  add  to  the  attractions  of  the  valley. 

PARK.  ENTRANCES. 

The  entrance  at  McAllister,  and  also  Geary  and  Sixth  avenue,  have  been  improved,  only  by 
opening  a  walk  through  the  brush.  I  would  suggest  that  within  the  next  year  water  pipe  be  laid, 
a  verge  of  grass  planted  all  along  the  walks,  and  the  grass  be  backed  wiih  a  belt  of  shrubbery,  and 
tha'  this  improvement  be  continued  along  each  side  of  these  walks  until  it  joins  the  other  improved 
portions  of  the  Park. 

THE  AVENUE. 

The  trees  on  the  north  side  of  the  Avenue  require  thinning.  The  verge  of  the  drive  should  be 
planted  in  grass  to  correspond  with  the  south  side. 

RECLAIMING  THE  SAND. 

The  work  of  planting  trees  on  the  bare  and  exposed  sand  should  be  continue,! .  Shelter  fences 
the  same  as  constructed  this  year  should  be  put  up  not  more  than  100  feet  apart,  until  the  trees 
get  established.

PARK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT. 


FENCING. 

The  Easterly  portion  of  the  Park,  say  from  Seventh  avenue  eastward,  ought  to  be  enclosed 
with  some  subtantial  fence. 

STABLE. 

The  present  stable  being  too  small,  and  from  the  fact  that  the  timbers  are  all  rotted  out,  and 
the  building  rendered  unhealthy,  both  for  men  and  horses,  a  new  stable  is  required.  According  to 
your  instructions,  I  will  soon  have  completed  a  detailed  map  of  the  Park,  it  now  being  absolutely 
necessary,  and  from  time  to  time  will  note  upon  same  the  additional  improvements.  The  length 
and  area  of  drives,  concourses,  bridle  roads  and  walks  constructed  and  in  use  in  Golden  Gate  Park 
are  as  follows : 


LENGTH. 

AREA.

We  also  have  been  experimenting  with  grasses,  palms  and  succulents,  and  have  as  a  result  6,427 
of  such,  valued  at  $489.90,  making  a  grand  total  of  200,049  trees,  plants,  shrubs,  etc.,  in  the  nursery, 
valued  at  §27,002,  most  of  which  have  been  raised  and  propagated  by  your  Board  of  Park  Commis- 
sioners during  the  past  fiscal  year;  and  considering  that,  in  addition  to  the  above,  528,544  trees, 
shrubs,  herbaceous  and  flowering  plants  have  been  set  out  within  the  past  twelve  months,  we  beg 
leave  to  submit  that  very  great  results  have  followed  the  remodeling  of  the  Park  nursery,  the  entire 
maintenance  of  which  has  only  been  $5,359.25  during  the  past  year,  and  desire  to  state  that  great 
credit  is  due  to  John  McLaren,  the  Superintendent  of  the  Park,  Patrick  Owens,  foreman  of  the 
nursery,  and  John  Garden,  in  charge  of  the  conservatory,  whose  attention  and  skill  have  con- 
tributed largely  toward  the  very  gratifying  results  obtained.

852  PARK  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT. 


THE  CHILDREN'S  QUARTERS. 

The  Secretary's  report  does  not  show  the  receipts  and  disbursements  of  this  feature  of  the  Park, 
which  is  conditionally  leased  to  Geo.  M.  Murphy,  who  acts  as  Superintendent,  his  salary  being  a 
certain  portion  of  the  net  proceeds.  The  receipts  from  this  source  have  been  $8,196.59,  and  the  dis- 
bursements $7,376.00.  It  is  not  the  intention  nor  desire  to  make  money  out  of  the  Children's 
Quarters,  merely  to  make  it  self-sustaining ;  and  as  the  patronage  increases,  so  will  the  charges 
decrease.  At  present,  five  cents  is  charged  for  each  ride  on  the  merry-go-round,  or  donkeys,  or 
goat-carts ;  and  fresh  milk,  butter,  eggs,  bread,  candies,  etc.,  are  furnished  at  about  cost  price. 
Three  thousand  one  hundred  and  seventy  dollars  have  been  received  from  the  merry-go-round ;  this 
amount,  however,  has  been  paid  back  to  the  constructors  of  the  machine,  which  by  this  method  will 
shortly  be  paid  for  and  become  the  property  of  the  Park  proper,  thus  furnishing  a  legitimate  source 
of  revenue,  and  create  a  fund  which  will  be  expended  for  the  further  improvemnnt  of  that  portion 
of  the  Park  which  your  Commissioners  have  laid  aside  for  the  amusement  and  pleasure  of  the 
children.  . 

THE  WATER  STORKS 

Have,  up  to  the  present  time,  been  practically  under  the  control  of  Mr.  W.  B.  Bradbury,  who 
constructed  the  same.  His  accounts  have  not,  however,  been  finally  adjusted,  the  present  Board  of 
Commissioners  having  become  heir  to  the  dispute  between  Mr.  Bradbury  and  their  predecessors.  We 
have  been  paying  six  cents  for  each  1,000  gallons  of  water  used  in  the  Park  during  our  incumbency. 
We  will  at  once,  however,  assume  charge  of  the  works,  believing,  in  view  of  the  increased  amount 
of  water  which  we  will  have  to  use  during  the  coming  year,  that  it  will  be  judicious  for  us  to  do  so. 

In  conclusion  it  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  a  large  sum  from  the  Park  fund  must  be  expended 
at  once  in  the  remacadamizing  of  the  main  drive,  commencing  at  the  very  entrance  to  the  Park,  and 
continuing  to  the  ocean,  as  time  and  wear  have  made  it  almost  impossible  to  keep  this  road  free 
from  dust;  and  a  new  supply  of  rock  and  clay  must  be  scattered  throughout  its  entire  length. 

We  also  contemplate  moving  the  Casino  about  100  feet  south  to  the  point  of  the  adjacent  hill  or 
knoll,  that  it  may  overlook  the  main  driveway,  and  will  endeavor  to  make  it  a  popular  family  resort, 
by  remodelling  it,  making  one  large  room,  and  providing  spacious  porches,  and  stipulating  with  the 
lessee  that  popular  prices  shall  be  charged. 

We  also  hope  to  arrange  for  musical  concerts  in  the  Park  on  Wednesday  afternoons,  as  well  as 
those  now  held  on  Saturdays  and  Sundays. 

It  is  also  our  desire  to  establish  some  attraction,  easy  of  access,  and  would  suggest  something  in 
the  way  of  a  handsome  building  filled  with  stuffed,  birds  and  animals.  This  would  be  a  source  of 
amusement  as  well  as  instruction— would  require  but  little  for  its  maintenance,  and  would  have  the 
additional  advantage  of  affording  shelter*  should  the  inclemency  of  the  weather  require  it.  This, 
with  the  other  improvements  already  delineated  in  this  report,  will  form  our  principal  work  for  the 
coming  year. 

In  submitting  this  report  to  you,  it  is  with  the  hope  that  our  sincere  and  earnest  efforts  towards 
an  honest,  judicious,  and  at  the  same  time  progressive  administration  of  the  Park,  will  meet  with 
your  approval ;  and  we  have  thought  best  to  make  you  the  foregoing  full  and  complete  report  of 
our  administration  for  the  past  year. 

Very  respectfully, 

Your  obedient  servants, 

E.  P.  HAMMOND,  JR.,

REPORT  OF  PETER  F.  DUNNE,  SPECIAL  COUNSEL. 


SAN  FBANCISCO,  October  20,  1889. 
To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN:  Herewith,  as  special  counsel  appointed  by  your  Honorable 
Board  for  the  collection  of  delinquent  taxes  for  the  fiscal  year  1887-88,  I 
have  the  honor  to  submit  my  report  of  collections  made  by  me  during  said 
fiscal  year. 

This  annual  report  which  I  now  file  is  really  a  resume*  of  the  periodical 
reports  transmitted  by  me  to  your  office  during  the  fiscal  year  now  expired. 
It  has  been  my  practice  to  make  reports  almost  every  week;  and  for  all  prac- 
tical purposes  I  may  fairly  say  that  I  have  accounted  weekly  to  your  Hon- 
orable Board  for  the  trust,  reposed  in  me. 

I  have  made' 38  several  reports.  The  amounts  of  these_several  reports  it 
would  be  supererogation  to  recite  here;  they  appear  upon  the  files  of  your 
office.  But  the  aggregate  amount,  I  have  the  honor  to  state,  reaches  the 
sum  of  seventeen  thousand  three  hundred  and  sixty-four  dollars  and  seven- 
teen cents  ($17,364.17) — an  aggregate  absolutely  large,  and  relatively  large 
when  viewed  with  reference  to  the  reports  of  my  predecessors,  and  to  the 
inflated  condition  of  the  tax  roll  as  it  was  turned  over  to  me. 

I  beg  further  to  report  that  I  have  turned  over  to  the  clerk  of  the  Justice's 
Court,  as  fees  of  Court  collected  by  me,  the  sum  of  one  hundred  and  thirty- 
four  (134)  dollars.  This  amount  was  collected  almost  exclusively  from 
Chinese,  and  rather  by  way  of  penalty  for  their  inveterate,  ingenious  and 
often  untruthful  attempts  to  evade  taxation. 

Only  in  rare  instances  have  I  enforced  payment  of  court  fees  from  other 
tax  payers.  Two  dollars,  the  amount  of  the  fee,  is  considerable  foe  a  poor 
man;  and  the  great  majority  of  our  tax  payers  are  poor  men. 

I  desire  to  make  my  acknowledgments  to  the  efficient  clerk  of  the  Justice's 
Court,  the  Honorable  M.  A.  Wilson,  and  his  industrious  deputies,  for  the 
assistance  which  they  have  been  to  me  in  enabling  me,  promptly  and  in  large 
numbers,  to  begin  suits  against  delinquents,  and  anticipate  any  possible 
lapse  by  limitation. 

I  desire  also  to  acknowledge  the  kind  advice  and  suggestions  of  the 
Honorable'C olin  M,  Boyd,  Chairman  of  your  Finance  Committee.  ' 

Respectfully  submitted, 

P.  F.  DUNNE, 

Special  Counsel,

SAN  FEANCISCO,  September  4,  1889. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  :  In  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Resolution  No,  2213,

years  1884-5  and  1885-6. 

The  amount  of  my  collections  during  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889,  has 
been  $8,377.88  %,  after  deducting  my  commissions  therefrom  as  per  con- 
tract with  the  city  and  county,  amounting  to  the  sum  of  $419.01, 1  have  paid 
over  to  the  Tax  Collector  as  required  by  law,  the  sum  ot  $7,958.87  %. 

On  July  1,  1889,  your  Honorable  Body  appointed  me  to  succeed  W.  J. 
Gavigan,  Esq.,  the  Collector  for  the  fiscal  year  1886-7.  I  have  not  yet  com- 
menced any  suits  for  taxes  of  that  year,  having  only  lately  received  the  books 
for  the  same,  but  this  office  is  actively  engaged  in  making  arrangements  to 
proceed  vigorously  in  finishing  up  the  collections  for  that  year. 

Special  counsel  desire  to  urge  upon  your  Honorable  Board  the  necessity 
of  employing  a  special  clerk  in  the  Justice's  Court  for  the  clerical  work  con- 
nected with  the  commencement  of  these  tax  suits,  thousands  of  dollars  are

Board  of  Supervisors. 


On  January  7,  1889,  the  Board  of  Supervisors  held  a  meeting  in  the  after- 
noon, at  2  o'clock,  for  the  purpose  of  introducing  their  successors. 

The  present  members  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  elected  on  the  6th  day 
of  'November,  1888,  were  introduced,  their  credentials  presented,  and,  after 
appropriate  remarks  by  the  retiring  members,  took  their  seats.  Supervisors 
Boyd,  McDonald,  Pescia  and  Bush,  who  were  re-elected,  retaining  their 
seats. 

The  members  being  all  introduced  and  in  their  seats,  His  Honor,  Mayor 
Pond,  addressed  the  Board  as  follows : 

GENTLEMEN  OF  THE]BOARD  OF  SUPERVISORS:— We  have  come  together  to-day  to  assume  the 
duties  imposed  upon  us  by  the  suffrages  of  our  fellow-citizens  and  to  take  charge  of  the  government  of 
this  municipality  for  the  next  two  years.  Some  of  you  have  been  called  upon  to  discharge  these  same 
duties  in  the  past,  and  it  is  not  necessary  for  me  to  tell  you  how  important  they  are,  nor  how  much  of 
your  thought  and  time  they  will  demand.  But  to  those  of  you  who  have  not  been  called  on  to  assume 
these  duties,  I  assure  you  it  is  no  sinecure  or  unimportant  office  which  you  have  accepted.  In  a 
large  and  growing  city  like  this,  the  demands  and  restraints  upon  you  will  require  the  exercise  of 
your  soundest  judgment  and  most  watchful  vigilance.  Our  city  during  the  last  two  years  has  been 
very  prosperous.  Real  estate  has  largely  increased  in  value  and  building  has  been  extensive.  We 
have  among  us  comparatively  few  unemployed  people. 

Possessed,  as  I  believe  we  all  are,  with  the  one  desire  to  look  well  after  the  interest  of  the  whole 
city,  we  should  see  to  it  that  neither  waste  nor  extravagance  is  allowed  in  the  administration  of  its 
affairs.  You  will  find  that  in  carrying  out  the  pledges  you  gave  to  the  people  it  will  be  necessary  to 
exercise  the  strictest  economy  and  care  in  the  expenditure  of  the  funds  at  your  disposal.  My  time 
has  been  so  closely  occupied  with  other  official  duties  of  late  that  I  shall  not  attempt  to  make  special 
reference  to  the  different  institutions  and  departments  of  the  City  Government,  but  will  refer  you. 
to  the  reports  of  the  respective  officers  for  information  regarding  them. 

I  simply  desire  to  call  your  attention  to  a  few  things  that  demand  full  consideration  from  you. 

THE   STREETS. 

Our  streets  generally  Jhave  been  much  improved  during  the  last  Administration.  You  are 
pledged  to  provide  the  Street  Fund  with  a  much  larger  amount  of  money  than  has  heretofore  been 
used  in  that  department,  but  the  greatest  care  and  industry  will  be  needed  in  seeing  to  it  that  it  is 
judiciously  expended.  The  character  of  the  stone  pavement  has  been  improved  by  the  care  and 
diligence  of  the  department,  and  a  very  large  amount  o£  paving  has  been  done.  The  stone  blocks 
used  are  a  very  great  improvement  on  those  of  years  before,  being  better,  smaller  and  of  more 
uniform  size.  But  still  they  can  and  must  be  largely  improved  by  holding  contractors  strictly  to  the 
specifications  under  which  their  contracts  are  made.  The  cost  of  paving  with  stone  blocks  under 
the  Vrooman  Act  on  unaccepted  streets  has  increased  to  such  an  extent  that  it  almost  seems  a  hard 
ship  to  compel  property-owners  to  pave  until  some  more  reasonable  figures  can  be  obtained  and 
better  work  be  done.  Some  of  the  increased  cost  doubtless  arises  from  the  better  pavement  exacted, 
while  the  large  amount  of  street  work  projected  has  enabled  contractors  and  block-makers  to  fix 
their  own  prices.  This  matter  should  be  carefully  considered  and  such  steps  taken  as  may  be  found 
possible  to  protect  the  interests  of  out  citizens. 


THE  BOARD  OF  SUPERVISORS. 


REMOVAL  OF  THE  COBBLE-STONES. 

The  cobble-stones  on  our  streets  should  be  removed  from  the  principal  business  thoroughfares,, 
at  least  as  fast  as  the  property-owners  are  willing  to  pay  a  share  of  the  expense.  1  recommend  that 
•whenever  the  property-owner  is  willing  to  pay  half  of  the  cost  which  would  be  entailed  on  the  city  in 
exchanging  cobbles  for  basalt  blocks,  that  the  city  should  at  once  undertake  the  change,  as  I  deem 
it  but  fair  that  whenever  the  property-owner  desires  something  better  than  the  city  has  accepted 
from  him,  he  should  be  willing  to  bear  a  part  of  the  expense.  In  this  way  we  ought  soon  to  be  able 
t«  rid  ourselves  of  this  relic  of  bad  pavements. 

STREET  RAILROAD    REPAIRS. 

I  must  again  call  the  attention  of  the  Board  to  the  fact  that  some  of  the  street  railroad  compa- 
nies still  continue  to  use,  in  keeping  the  portion  of  the  street  in  repair  which  they  are  required  to  do 
by  law,  material  different  from  and  poorer  than  the  adjoining  portions  of  the  street.  In  many 
instances  their  work  is  badly  done  or  not  done  at  all.  This  should  be  stopped  and  the  companies 
should  be  compelled  to  comply  with  the  law  and  do  the  work  well,  and  in  all  cases  as  well  as  the 
adjoining  stieet.  • 

THE  SEWERS. 

Urgent  necessity,  as  well  as  your  pledge,  requires  you  to  take  up  the  question  of  the  reformation 
of  the  sewerage  system. 

Steps  should  be  taken  at  once  to  carry  out  your  pledge  in  this  regard.  No  hasty  or  ill-advised 
system  should  be  adopted,  and  only  after  very  careful  consideration  and  under  competent  advice 
should  you  decide  what  steps  are  necessary  to  be  taken. 

EXPENSES  UNDER  THE  VROOMAN  ACT. 

In  the  administration  of  the  so-called  Vrooman  Act  much  complaint  is  made  that  too  much 
expense  attends  its  operation  in  advertising  and  engineering. 

With  regard  to  the  former,  it  would  seem  that  much  less  might  be  done,  particularly  by  dis- 
pensing with  the  publication  of  the  long  specifications. 

Under  the  advice  of  the  City  and  County  Attorney  and  counsel  for  the  street  contractors, 
much  more  advertising  is  deemed  necessary  under  the  law  than  ought  to  be  required.  I  recom- 
mend that  you  take  up  this  matter  at  once,  and  if  no  other  way  is  found  safe,  to  appeal  to  the 
Legislature  to  so  change  or  make  clear  the  law  as  to  save  much  of  this  burdensome  tax,  as  I 
believe  at  least  two-thirds  of  the  printing  now  done  can  be  dispensed  with.  As  to  the  surveying 
equired,  I  recommend  that  you  at  once  go  over  the  rates  allowed  by  the  orders  of  this  Board, 
with  the  Surveyor  and  other  competent  engineers,  and  adjust  the  charges  on  a  basis  fair  to  both 
parties. 

AMENDMENTS  TO  THE  VROOMAN  ACT. 

In  this  connection  I  further  recommend,  inasmuch  as  there  are  other  features  in  the  Vrooman 
Act  that  may  be  simplified  and  made  clear,  as  well  as  less  expensive,  that  you  instruct  the  City 
and  County  Attorney  to  consult  with  you  and  with  the  officers  charged  with  the  administration 
of  the  law,  and  together  draw  up  such  amendments  as  may  be  found  needed  and  request  the 
Legislature  to  adopt  them. 

OBSTRUCTIONS  TO  THE  STREETS. 

I  cltsire  to  again  call  the  attention  of  the  Board  to  the  continued  and  increasing  obstruction 
of  our  streets,  particularly  by  the  poles  and  wires  of  electric-light  and  telephone  companies, 
which  are  a  great  source  of  annoyance,  being  both  unsightly  and  a  menace  to  life.  I  deem  thi» 
matter  of  great  importance,  both  as  a  protection  to  life  and  a  guard  against  fire.  You  should 
ake  immediate  steps  to  compel  the  companies  to  place  all  their  wires  either  under  the  sidewalk 
or  the  streets,  as  is  being  done  in  other  cities. 

STREET  NUISANCES. 

-  I  have  endeavored,  through  the  police,  to  enforce  the  ordinance  prohibiting  unsightly  boxes 
and  signs  on  the  curbstones  contrary  to  law,  but  owing  to  the  fact  that  the  Police  Courts  in 
Tariably  discharge  the  offenders  after  arrest,  my  efforts  have  been  fruitless.  Surely  our  best  efforts, 
should  be  made  to  improve  our  streets  and  to  keep  them  clear. 


THE  BOAKD  OF  SUPEEVISOES. 


FIXING  WATER    BATES. 

The  important  duty  of  fixing  water  rates  will  devolve  on  you  in  February  next.  I  call  your 
especial  attention  to  your  pledge  in  reference  to  this  matter,  and  urge  you  to  examine  the  question 
carefully  and  thoroughly  to  the  end  that  rates  may  be  fairly  adjusted  and  some  more  equitable 
system  be  adopted,  particularly  in  reference  to  meters,  as  it  seems  to  have  been  the  settled  policy  of 
the  past  two  years  to  attach  meters  to  small  houses,  thereby  largely  increasing  the  expense. 

SCHOOL  DEPARTMENT. 

Our  School  Department  has  been  much  improved  under  the  last  Board  of  Education,  particu- 
larly in  the  matter  of  increased  and  renovated  buildings.  It  will  doubtless  be  your  pleasure,  as  it 
is  your  duty,  to  do  all  you  can  to  further  the  interests  of  that  department  in  supplying  it  with 
sufficient  funds  to  meet  all  reasonable  and  intelligent  expenses,  and  also  to  provide  for  the  pay- 
ment of  the  back  salaries  of  teachers  remaining  unpaid.  There  will  be  a  deficiency  of  over 
.$100,000  in  the  funds  of  that  department,  which  you  will  be  called  upon  to  meet. 

This  you  can  readily  do  if  proper  care  and  caution  are  exercised  to  preserve  the  surplus  which 
you  ought  to  have  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year. 

This  surplus  will  not  only  be  needed  for  this  purpose,  but  also  for  other  matters  to  which  you 
are  pledged,  such  as  providing  a  new  Smallpox  Hospital  and  a  Police  Patrol  service. 

PUBLIC   SQUARES. 

Our  public  squares  should  be  improved.  They  largely  contribute  to  the  beauty  of  the  city,  as 
well  as  to  the  health  of  our  people.  I  recommend  that  those  not  now  improved  be  gradually  re- 
claimed as  fast  as  your  means  will  permit.  Those  that  are  supposed  to  be  improved  should  be  kept 
in  much  better  condition  with  the  amount  now  expended  on  them. 

OOLDEN  GATE  PARK. 

The  amount  provided  by  law  for  Golden  Gate  Park  is  rapidly  improving  its  general  appearance 
and  I  doubt  not  you  will  maintain  that  tax. 

THE  NEW  CITY  HALL. 

The  City  Hall  tax,  made  possible  by  the  law  passed  by  the  last  Legislature,  will,  I  believe,  very 
nearly,  if  not  quite,  finish  the  building  as  now  projected. 

OPENING  VAN  NESS  AVENUE 

I  have  made  strenuous  efforts  to  have  Van  Ness  Avenue  opened  to  the  bay,  thus  making  a 
beautiful  drive  around  the  North  Front  to  the  Presidio,  but  have  failed,  as  the  law  now  in  exist- 
ence is  not  sufficient  to  compel  the  property  owners  to  do  it,  or  to  assess  benefits  and  damages  on 
the  parties  directly  interested. 

One  of  the  largest  owners  of  property  that  blocks  the  street  positively  refuses  to  open  the  street 
unless  paid  a  large  price  for  his  land.  It  is  hoped  that  the  Legislature  will  pass  some  general  law 
on  the  subject  which  will  enable  us  to  open,  not  only  that  street,  but  a  number  of  others  in  the 
southern  part  of  the  city. 

FINANCES  OF  THE  CITY. 

Yon  are  pledged  to  a  limit  of  taxation,  the  proceeds  of  which,  if  judiciously  expended,  will  be 
found  sufficient  for  the  wants  of  the  government.  But  you  will  find  it  well  to  remember  that  debts 
contracted  in  excess  of  the  revenue  of  the  year  cannot  be  paid  out  of  the  income  of  the  next  year, 
but  under  the  law  and  the  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court,  become  absolutely  null  and  void.  A  care- 
ful observance  of  the  "  One-Twelfth  Act "  will  prove  of  great  assistance  to  you  in  this  respect. 

You  will  find  the  finances  of  the  municipality  in  good  condition,  and  I  may  be  permitted  to  con- 
gratulate you  and  our  citizens  that  our  net  bonded  debt  has  been  reduced  to  about  $950,000,  and  in 
a  few  years  will  be  entirely  extinguished,  while  with  reasonable  taxation  we  may  be  able  to  make 
such  improvements  as  will  render  our  city  both  beautiful  and  healthy. 

THE  PLEDGES  WE  HAVE  TAKEN. 

Both  you  and  I  were  elected  and  are  bound  by  pledges  more  intelligent  and  clean-cut  than  ever 
before  accepted  by  candidates.  There  are  no  vague  nor  glittering  generalities  about  them.  We 
have  accepted  well-defined  instructions  from  the  people,  and  there  is  no  mistaking  them  or  constru- 
ing them  away.  There  is  nothing  left  to  us  but  to  obey  them  or  to  defy  them.  For  myself,  I  shall 


10  THE   BOAKD  OF  SUPERVISOKS. 


strive  on  all  occasions  to  carry  out.  the  pledges  in  spirit  and  in  letter,  as  far  as  lies  in  my  power,  and 
I  doubt  not  it  will  be  your  pleasure,  as  well  as  your  duty,  to  do  the  same. 

To  the  gentlemen  just  retiring  from  the  Board.  I  desire  to  say  that  in  our  official  intercourse  I 
have  received  from  you  the  utmost  courtesy.  Differing,  as  we  have,  on  some  important  matters  of 
municipal  legislation,  it  has  not  affected  the  pleasant  relations  existing  between  us.  For  this  I 
thank  you,  and  hope  you  will  meet  with  continued  prosperity.  In  conclusion,  I  desire  to  say  that 
the  prosperity  and  happiness  of  the  people  of  this  city  are  closely  allied  to  a  wise  and  progressive 
administration  of  the  local  government,  and  no  effort  of  mine  to  secure  these  beneficent  results  will 
be  found  wanting. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  Mayor's  address,  the  Board  designated  the  Stand- 
ing Committees  and  appointed  the  members  thereof,  as  follows:

On  January  14, 1&89,  Supervisor  McDonald  resigned  his  position  as  Super- 
visor. On  February  4,  1889,  His  Honor  Mayor  Pond  appointed  Thos.  F. 
Barry,  Esq.,  to  fill  the  vacancy,  but  the  Board  on  February  18,  1889, 
refused  to  confirm  said  appointment,  Supervisors  Boyd,  Pescia,  Ellert  and 
Barry  voting  in  favor  of,  and  Supervisors  Bingham,  Bush,  Wheelan,  Becker, 
Pilster  and  Kingwell  voting  against  the  confirmation,  Supervisor  Noble  being 
absent. 


Personal  Property  Assessment. 


In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Political  Code,  the  Assessor 
must  complete  the  Assessment  Book  in  counties  other  than  San  Francisco 
on  or  before  the  first  Monday  in  July  of  each  year,  and  on  the  first  Monday 
in  October  of  each  year  the  Board  of  Supervisors  are  required  to  fix  the  rate 
of  county  taxes.  The  Assessment  Book  so  prepared  contains  all  property 
liable  to  assessment,  and  the  levy  is  made  after  the  total  valuation  of  prop- 
erty is  determined. 

In  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  under  an  Act  of  the  Legislature, 
the  Assessment  Book  of  Personal  Property  is  required  to  be  completed  on 
or  before  the  first  Monday  of  June  in  each  year,  and  the  rate  of  city  and 
county  taxes  fixed  on  the  fourth  Monday  in  the  same  month.  The  Assess- 
ment Book  of  Real  Estate  and  improvements  is  prepared  under  the  provi- 
sions of  the  Political  Code,  at  the  same  time  as  the  Assessment  Book  of  all 
other  counties.  Thus,  in  San  Francisco  the  levy  of  taxes  is  based  upon  an 
estimated  valuation,  which  valuation  has  heretofore  averaged  about  ten  mil- 
lion dollars  less  than  the  assessed  valuation.  The  Act  for  the  assessment  of 
Personal  Property  and  the  collection  of  the  tax  thereon  prior  to  the  first 
Monday  of  August  in  each  year  was  passed  to  enable  the  City  and  County  to 
make  collections  to  defray  the  expenses  of  the  government  as  they  accrued . 
Under  the  provisions  of  the  Political  Code,  the  taxes  on  the  Assessment 
Book  not  being  delinquent  until  the  last  Monday  in  December  of  each  year, 
the  government  would  otherwise  not  have  funds  to  meet  the  indebtedness  of 
the  fiscal  year  until  one-half  of  the  said  year  had  expired,  there  being  no 
discretionary  power  to  be  exercised  of  providing  by  levy  any  greater  or  other 
amount  than  required  in  the  year  for  which  the  levy  is  made. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  Act  referred  to,  to  wit :

pleted, the  said  assessment  book  must  be  delivered  to  the  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  whc

ment,  by  publication  in  some  daily  newspaper  printed  in  said  City  and  County;  and  in  the  mean-

examine  and  equalize  said  assessment  in  the  same  manner  as  required  by  the  Political  Code,  and

and  orders  made  by  the  Board,  and  during  its  session  must  enter  in  said  assessment  book  all 
changes  and  corrections  made  by  the  Board,  and  must  deliver  the  said  assessment  book,  so  cor- 
rected, to  the  Auditor  of  said  City  and  County  on  the  fourth  Monday  of  June,  with  an  affidavit  in 
substance  the  same  as  that  required  by  section  three  thousand  six  hundred  and  eighty-two  of  the 
Political  Code. 

SECTION  4.  The  Board  of  Supervisor,  must,  on  the  fourth  Monday  of  June,  fix  the  rate  of

Monday  of  July,  prepare  and  deliver  to  the  Tax  Collector  a  copy  of  said  corrected  assessment  book, 
to  be  styled,  "  Duplicate  Assessment  Book  of  Personal  Property,"  in  which  shall  be  computed  and 
entered,  in  separate  money  columns,  the  respective  sums,  in  dollars  and  cents,  rejecting  the  frac- 
tions of  a  cent,  to  be  paid  as  a  tax  on  the  property  therein  enumerated,  and  to  which  must  be 

attached  his  affidavit,  subscribed  and  sworn  to,  as  follows :    "I, Auditor  of  the 

City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  do  swear  that  I  received  the  Assessment  Book  of  the  Personal 
Property  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  from  the  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors, 
with  his  affidavit  thereto  affixed,  and  that  I  have  corrected  it  and  made  it  conform  to  the  require- 
ments of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  that  I  have  reckoned  the  respective  sums  due  as  taxes,  and  have 
added  np  the  columns  of  valuations  and  taxes,  as  required  by  law,  and  that  the  copy  to  which  thig 
affidavit  is  attached  is  a  true,  full  and  correct  copy  thereof."  Said  duplicate  assessment  book  must 
contain  columns  for  entry,  as  hereinafter  provided,  for  the  State  tax  upon  the  property  therein  as- 
sessed. 

SECTION  5.  The  said  duplicate  assessment  book  must  thereupon  be  delivered  to  the  Tax  Col- 
lector, and  all  the  acts  required  by  the  Political  Code  to  be  performed  by  the  Auditor  and  Tax 
Collector  in  relation  to  the  duplicate  assessment  book,  and  the  taxes  therein  mentioned,  must  be 
performed  by  said  officers  in  relation  to  the  assessment  book  herein  provided,  so  far  as  the  same  can 
be  made  applicable. 

SECTION  6.  The  Tax  Collector,  immediately  upon  receiving  said  assessment  roll,  must  publish 
in  one  or  more  of  the  daily  newspapers  of  said  City  and  County,  that  the  taxes  therein  mentioned 
are  due  and  payable  at  the  office  of  the  Tax  Collector  of  said  City  and  County,  and  will  become  de- 
linquent on  the  firsb  Monday  of  August,  and  that  unless  paid  on  or  before  the  last  mentioned  date, 
five  per  cent  will  be  added  to  the  amount  thereof.  The  Tax  Collector  may,  at  any  time  after  said 
taxes  become  delinquent,  collect  the  same  by  seizure  and  sale  of  any  personal  property  owned  by 
the  delinquent,  and  in  proceedings  for  that  purpose  must  be  governed  by  sections  from  three  thou- 
sand seven  hundred  and  ninety-one  to  three  thousand  seven  hundred  and  ninety-six,  inclusive,  of 
the  Political  Code. 

SECTION  7.  On  the  Wednesday  f oUowing  the  fourth  Monday  of  September,  the  Tax  Collector 
must  return  the  said  duplicate  assessment  roll  to  the  Auditor,  who  must,  at  the  tune  provided  in 
the  Political  Code  for  computing  and  entering  the  State  and  County  taxes,  add  to  or  deduct  from 
the  valuation  of  the  property  enumerated  in  said  assessment  book,  any  per  centum  which  may  have 
been  required  by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization,  and  compute  the  State  taxes  to  be  paid  on  said 
personal  property,  and  enter  the  same,  with  all  delinquent  taxes  which  may  appear  in  said  book,  in 
the  proper  columns.  After  completing  such  computations  and  entries,  the  Auditor  must  annex  hig 
affidavit  to  said  book,  stating  that  he  has  truly  and  correctly  made  all  reductions  and  additions 
required  by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization,  and  computed,  entered  and  added  all  the  State  taxes, 
ind  all  the  delinquent  City  and  County  taxes,  and  the  per  centum  due  on  the  property  therein  enu- 
merated, and  return  the  same  to  the  Tax  Collector  at  the  time  when  the  duplicate  assessment  book 
3f  taxes  upon  real  estate  is  required  by  law  to  be  delivered. 

SECTION  8.  The  Tax  Collector  must  collect  said  State  taxes,  and  said  delinquent  City  and

regular  assessment  roll ;  and  if  he  makes  any  such  special  assessment,  he  shall  forthwith  deliver  a 
sopy  thereof  to  the  Tax  Collector,  and  the  original  to  the  Auditor,  who  shall  charge  the  Tax  Collec- 
tor with  the  amount  of  taxes  due  thereon,  and  all  such  special  assessments  shall  be  as  valid  and 
shaH  have  the  same  force  and  effect;  as  regular  assessments. 

SECTION  10.  All  the  provisions  of  the  Political  Code  and  other  laws  relating  to  State  and 
3ounty  revenue,  except  where  they  are  in  conflict  with,  are  made  part  of  this  Act. 

SECTION  11.    This  Act  shall  take  effect  immediately. 


PEKSONAL  PROPERTY  ASSESSMENT, 

Under  Section  9  of  the  foregoing  Act,  the  Assessor  formerly  prepared  a  Sup- 
plemental Koll  containing  assessments  of  property  claimed  to  have  been  omit- 
ted from  the  original  Assessment  Book.  This  practice  has  been  discontinued, 
the  Supreme  Court  of  this  State  having  rendered  the  following  decision  on 
October  30,  1885,  in  the  case  of  the  People,  etc,,  versus  Pittsburg  Railroad 
Company,  in  which  it  is  held  that  said  supplemental  assessment  made  by 
the  Assessor  was  arbitrary  and  absolute,  and  in  violation  of  the  Constitution 
gf  this  State,  etc.,  to  wit: 


PEOPLE,  ETC.  v.  PITTSBURG  RAILROAD  COMPANY. 

IN  BANK.     FILED  OCTOBER  30,  1885. 


Supplemental  Tax  Roll.     Assessment  void  if  no  opportunity  is  given  to  contest 

amount. 

Section  9  of  the  Act  of  April  18,  1874,  which  attempts  to  provide  for  an  assessment  by  the 
Assessor  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  which  is  arbitrary  and  absolute,  without  the  pos- 
sibility of  equalization  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  as  it  provides  for  assessment  to  be  made  after 
the  time  within  which  the  Board  can  act,  is  violative  both  of  the  Constitution  of  the  State  and  of 
the  fourteenth  amendment  of  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  in  that  it  deprives  the  person 
assessed  of  an  opportunity  to  appear  before  the  Board  for  the  purpose  of  contesting  the  amount 
assessed  against  him. 

The  Same.     Failure  to  furnish  Statement  does  not   Validate  Assessment. 

An  assessment  so  ma Je  is  invalid  although  the  person  assessed  failed  to  furnish  the  Assessor 
with  a  list  of  his  taxable  property,  as  provided  for  by  Section  3,629  of  the  Political  Code. 

Appeal  from  a  judgment  and  order  of  the  Superior  Court  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, entered  in  favor  of  the  plaintiff.  The  opinion  states  the  facts. 

W.  T.  Baggett  for  the  plaintiff-appellant. 

John  B,  Harmon  for  the  defendant-  appellant. 

McKissTRY,  J.  The  action  is  to  recover  City  and  County  and  State  Taxes  for  the  fiscal  year 
1880-1,  as  entered  upon  the  "Supplemental  Tax  Roll,"  under  the  Act  of  April  18.  1874,  Stats.  1873-4, 
p.  477.  The  assessment  was  made  after  the  Board  of  Equalization  had  finally  adjourned,  and  under 
the  ninth  section  of  the  Act  above  cited. 

The  Constitution  of  the  State  contemplates :  First,  assessment  by  the  Assessor ;  Second,  action 
by  the  County  Board  of  Equalization;  Third,  action  by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization.  Under 
Section  9  of  Article  XIII,  the  taxpayer  is  entitled  to  notice  of  the  meetings  of  the  County  Board  at 
which  his  taxes  may  be  increased.  But  the  ninth  Section  of  the  Act  of  1874  attempts  to  provide  for 
an  assessment  by  the  Assessor  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  which  is  arbitrary  and 
absolute,  without  the  possibility  of  equalization  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  as  it  provides  for 
assessment  to  be  made  after  the  time  within  which  the  Board  can  act.  The  Legislature  has  no 
power  thus  to  deprive  the  citizen  of  an  opportunity  of  appearing  before  the  Board  for  the  purpose  of 
contesting  the  amount  assessed  against  him.  The  ninth  section  is  violative,  both  of  the  Constitu- 
tion of  the  State  and  of  the  fourteenth  amendment  of  the  Constitution  v,f  the  United  States. 

It  is  urged  that  defendant  cannot  rely  upon  the  invalidity  of  the  Statute,  because  he  failed  to 
furnish  the  Assessor  with  a  list  of  his  taxable  property.  The  Political  Code  makes  it  the  duty  of 
the  Assessor  "  to  exact"  from  each  person  a  statement,  under  oath,  setting  forth  specifically  all  hi» 
real  and  personal  property,  etc.;  Section  3,629.  And  Section  3,633  provides— 

"  If  any  person,  after  demand  made  by  the  Assessor,  neglects  or  refuses  to  give,  under  oath,  the 
statement  herein  provided  for,  or  to  comply  with  the  other  requirements  of  thu  title,  the  AMewor 


14  PEKSONAL  PROPERTY  ASSESSMENT. 

must  note  the  refusal  on  the  assessment  book,  opposite  his  name,  and  must  make  an  estimate  ot 
the  value  of  the  property  of  such  person  ;  and  the  value  so  fixed  by  the  Assessor  must  not  be  reduced 
by  the  Board  of  Supervisors. 

There  is  no  finding  in  the  transcript  that  the  Assessor  demanded  or  attempted  to  exact  from  de- 
fendant the  statement  mentioned  in  Section  3,629,  or  that  defendant  neglected  or  refused  to  give, 
nnder  oath,  the  statement  "  after  demand  made  by  the  Assessor." 

Moreover,  the  Statute  provides  the  penalties  for  a  failure  to  furnish  the  statement  after  demand 
made  by  the  Asssessor.  First,  the  person  refusing  to  make  the  statement  is  liable  to  pay  one  hun- 
dred dollars.  Political  Code,  3,682.  Second,  he  is  deprived  of  the  right  to  have  reduced  the  valua- 
tion placed  upon  his  property  by  the  Assessor  prior  to  the  adjournment  of  the  County  Board  of  Equa- 
lization. Political  Code,  3,633.  That  such  is  the  meaning  of  Section  3,633  is  apparent  from  the 
language  therein  employed.  The  last  clause  declares  ' '  the  value  so  fixed  by  the  Assessor  must  not 
be  reduced  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors,"  and  clearly  indicates  the  valuation  referred  [to]  must  be 
made  before  the  adjournment  of  the  Board  as  a  Board  of  Equalization. 

We  are  not  authorized  to  add  any  third  consequence  as  resulting  from  a  failure  to  furnish  a 
list  of  property,  even  where  a  list  or  statement  has  been  demanded  by  the  Asssessor,  A  FORTIORI, 
\inder  the  pretense  of  imposing  a  third  and  distinct  penalty  upon  a  failure  to  furnish  the  statement 
of  property,  to  vitalize  and  render  operative  a  provision  of  the  Statute  clearly  violative  of  the  Con- 
stitution. 

Neither  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  v.  Flood,  1  West  Coast  Rep.,  567,  nor  Orena  v.  Sher- 
man, 9  Pacific  Coast  Law  Journal,  814,  is  in  conflict  with  the  views  above  expressed.  In  both,  the 
assessment  was  made  by  the  Assessor  prior  to  the  meeting  of  the  County  Board  of  Equalization. 
In  Orena  v.  Sherman,  it  appeared  that  the  Assessor  had  entered  in  his  Assessment  Book  that  the 
party  assessed  had  refused  to  furnish  a  statement  of  his  property,  and  thereby  declared  and  deter- 
mined that  demand  had  been  made  and  the  list  refused. 

Judgment  reversed. 

McKee,  J.,  Morrison,  C.  J.,  Sharpstein,  J.,  and  ROBS,  J.,  concurred. 

Myrick,  J,,  and  Thornton,  J.,  dissented. 

The  Assessment  Roll  of  Personal  Property  for  the  Fiscal  Year  1889,  em- 
bracing  seventeen  volumes,  was  received  from  the  Assessor,  J.  C.  Nealon,  Esq. 
on  June  3, 1889,  accompanied  by  a  communication  stating  that  the  aggregate 
assessment  amounted  to  the  sum  of  $65,153,068,  as  follows: 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  ASSESSOR. 

OFFICE  OF  THE  CITY  AND  COUNTY  ASSESSSOR,  Y 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  June  3,  188S.       j 
To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  .• 

GENTLEMEN— I  beg  to  inform  your  Honorable  Body  that  I  have  this  day  delivered  to  John  A. 
Russell,  Esq.,  Clerk  of  the  Board  seventeen  (17)  volumes,  containing  the  Personal  Property  Assess- 
ment Roll  of  this  City  and  County  for  the  year  1889,  amounting  to  $65,153,068. 

This  is  an  increase  of  valuation  over  that  of  1888  of  $2,978,257. 

J.  C.  NEALON,  Assessor. 

The  Board  of  Supervisors  met  on  Monday,  June  10,  1889,  and  examined 
the  Assessment  Book,  and  continued  in  session  from  time  to  time  until 
Monday,  June  24,  1889,  and  heard  all  applicants  who  had  filed  sworn  ap- 
plications for  correction  of  assessments,  who  appeared  for  examination. 

The  action  of  the  Board  on  the  applications,  and  the  clerical  errors  pre- 
sented by  the  Assessor,  resulted  in  reducing  the  Assessment  Book  $232,073.

STREET   GRADES. 


Prior  to  the  year  1853,  the  grades  of  streets  were  fixed  and  determined  from  time  to  time  on  the 
ordering  of  street  improvements,  when  necessary  to  afford  business  facilities.  In  the  early  part  of 
that  year  proceedings  were  inaugurated  in  the  Common  Council  for  the  establishment  of  grades, 
which  resulted  in  the  employment  of  Messrs.  Milo  Hoadley  and  Wm.  P.  Humphreys  (the  present 
City  and  County  Surveyor),  in  May,  1853,  to  do  and  perform  all  the  work  and  labor  necessary  to  the 
establishing  of  suitable,  proper  and  permanent  grades  for  the  streets  of  the  City  of  San  Fra'ucisco. 
Th'ese  gentlemen  presented  reports  in  June  and  July,  1853,  recommending  the  grades  to  be  estab- 
lished on  all  the  streets,  which  grades  were  established  by  the  Common  Council  by  Ordinances  Nos. 
350  and  425.  In  1854,  the  Common  Council  adopted  a  resolution  which  recited  that  sufficient  mani- 
festations of  disapprobation  on  the  part  of  the  people  had  appeared  in  relation  to  the  city  grades 
established  by  said  ordinances,  and  provided  for  the  appointment  of  a  Special  Committee  by  each 
Board  (Aldermen  and  Assistant  Aldermen)  to  employ  three  competent  civil  engineers  to  investigate 
and  report  their  views  and  opinions  on  the  system  of  grades  adopted.  The  committee  appointed 
consisted  of  Messrs.  J.  R.  West,  John  Nightingale,  Frank  Turk,  Henry  Meiggs  and  Samuel 
Gardiner,  who,  under  the  resolution  referred  to,  appointed  as  the  engineers,  Brevet  Major  J.  G. 
Barnard,  U.  S.  Engineer  Corps,  A.  T.  Arrowsmith  and  Lieutenant  J.  A.  Hardie,  U.  S.  Third  Ar- 
tillery, who  in  May,  185i,  presented  the  report  with  a  table  of  grades,  which  grades  were  adopted  as 
the  permanent  grades  by  Ordinance  No.  608  (the  prior  Ordinances  Nos.  350  and  425  being  repealed), 
which  was  approved  by  the  Hon.  C.  K.  Garrison,  Mayor,  on  July  10,  1854. 

In  1862  the  Legislature  passed  an  Act  entitled  "An  Act  to  establish  the  lines  and  grades  of 
streets  in  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,"  appointing  for  that  purpose  a  Board  of  Civil  Engi- 
neers, composed  of  the  City  and  County  Surveyor  (George  C.  Potter),  Milo  Hoadley  and  Thaddeus 
R.  Brooks. 

The  work  was  prosecuted,  reports  made  from  time  to  time,  and  the  grades  established  wibhin 
certain  limits  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors.  By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  approved  April  4,1864, 
the  time  was  extended,  and  the  engineers"  completed  their  labors.  The  final  report,  etc.,  signed  by 
George  C.  Potter,  City  and  County  Surveyor,  and  Thaddeus  R.  Brooks,  was  filed  on  October  17,  1864, 
and,  after  consideration  and  a  requirement  with  the  provisions  of  the  Acts  of  the  Lsgislature  rela- 
tive to  giving  public  notice,  etc.,  the  Board  of  Supervisors  finally  passed  Order  No.  634,  on  January 
29, 1866,  which  was  approved  by  the  Hon.  H.  P.  Coon,  Mayor,  on  January  30,  1866,  establishing  the 
lines  and  grades  of  streets  and  public  highways  in  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  west  and 
south  of  Ninth  and  Larkin  streets,  from  Twenty-second  to  Market  streets,  which  order  included  all 
the  grades,  etc.,  previously  reported  on  by  said  Bjard  of  Engineers  and  recited: 

SECTION  1.  That  the  Survey,  Maps,  Profiles  and  Block  Book  aforesaid,  be  and  they  are  hereby 
approved  and  adopted,  and  that  said  Maps,  Profiles  and  Block  Book  do  stand  as  the  legal  and  valid 
official  plan  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  to  determine  the  lines  uf  the  streets  and  the 
grades  thereof,  as  provided  by  the  Acts  of  the  Legislature  aforesaid. 

SEC.  2.  That  the  lines  of  the  streets  in  those  portions'of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco, 
as  delineated  in  the  aforesaid  Block  B3ok,  shall  be  run  in  accordance  with  the  distances  from  the 
monument  of  Re-Survey  lines  to  the  respective  corners  as  fixed  and  indicated  in  said  Block  Book; 
and  every  survey  hereafter  made  shall  conform  thereto,  and  shall  be  plotted  in  said  Block  Book  as 
an  official  record  of  such  survey. 

SEC.  3.  That  the  lines  of  streets  and  sizes  of  blocks  in  al  the  other  portions  of  the  City  (not 
included  in  said  Block  Book)  shall  be  run  in  accordance  with  the  distances  and  dimensions  marked 
on  the  General  Map  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  made  by  said  Board  of  Engineers,  in 
connection  with  the  Monument  Map  of  said  Board  of  Engineers,  as  regards  the  location  of  the 
monument  and  stakes  with  the  lines  of  said  streets.

In  1868  the  Legislature  of  the  State  passed  an  Act  empowering  the  Board  of  Supervisor  s  to 
establish  the  grade  of  the  streets  and  avenues  within  certain  specified  districts,  which  were  known 
and  designated  at  that  time  as  the  Outside  Lands,  being  outside  the  charter  limits  of  1851,  and  east 
of  Potrero  avenue  and  south  of  Mission  Creek,  in  pursuance  of  which  a  contract  was  entered  into 
with  Messrs.  Wm.  P.  Humphreys  and  George  C.  Potter  to  make  surveys,  erect  monuments  and 
recommend  suitable  grades.  The  work  was  commenced  and  steadily  prosecuted  until  completion,  a 
report  being  presented  on  July  25, 1870,  and,  after  due  publication,  the  grades  in  said  district  were 
established  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  by  Orders  Nos.  955  and  972,  in  September  and  November, 
1870. 

As,  from  time  to  time,  various  changes  of  grade  were  desired,  the  Legislature  passed  the 
following  Act  in  1868,  so  as  to  afford  an  opportunity  to  property  owners  to  have  the  grade  of  any 
street  modified  or  changed  from  the  original  grade  when  petitioned  for  by  the  owners  of  three 
fourths  of  the  property  affected,  to-wit:

and  damages  to  each  separate  lot  of  land  within  the  limits  designated  in  the  notice. 

Fifth.  The  Commissioners  shall  be  sworn  by  the  County  Judge,  to  make  the  assessments  of 
benefits  and  damages,  to  the  best  of  their  judgment  and  ability,  without  fear  or  favor,  and  that

oath  shall  be  filed  with  the  County  Clerk  as  part  of  the  proceedings.  A  copy  thereof,  and  of  the 
order  of  appointment,  certified  by  the  Clerk,  may  be  delivered  to  said  Commissioners  as  their 
authority. 

Sixth.  Said  Commissioners  shall  visit  and  inspect  the  premises  to  be  assessed  and  the  premises

by  the  Board  of  Supervisors. 

Seventh.  Said  Commissioners  shall  have  power,  and  it  is  hereby  made  their  duty,  to  examine,

petitioner,  over  and  above  all  benefits  by  the  completion  of  the  proposed  change,  shall  proceed  to 
assess  the  whole  amount  thereof,  together  with  the  costs,  charges  and  expenses  of  the  proceedings, 
including  the  compensation  to  the  Commissioners  for  their  services,  to  be  taxed  and  allowed  by 
the  County  Judge,  ratably,  upon  the  several  lots  of  land  benefited  within  the  limits  designated  in

as  nearly  as  possible. 

Ninth.  Said  Commissioners  shall  make  their  report  in  writing,  and  shall  subscribe  the  same 
and  file  it  with  the  County  Clerk.  In  their  said  report  they  shall  describe  each  piece  of  propert  y

Commissioners  do  not  agree,  the  award  agreed  upon  by  any  two  of  them  shall  be  sufficient.  On  the 
filing  of  said  report,  the  County  Clerk  shall  notify  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  in  writing,  of  the  fact, 
and  thereupon  the  said  Board  shall  by  ordinance  confirm  or  reject  said  report.  If  they  confirm  it,

Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  to  take  private  lands  for  certain  public  im- 
provements and  to  prescribe  the  manner  of  its  execution,"  approved  April  fourth,  eighteen  hundred 
and  sixty-four.  All  such  judgments  shall  be  in  favor  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  and

until  the  County  Court  shall  determine  that  said  work  has  been  completed. 

SEC.  3.  Before  entering  up  judgment,  the  Court  shall  fix  a  day  for  hearing  parties  who  may 
feel  aggrieved  by  reason  of  any  of  the  pi oceedings  ;  but  no  objection  shall  be  considered  except 
such  as  are  specifically  set  forth  in  writing  by  the  parties  ;  and  all  errors,  omissions  and  irregulari- 
ties not  specifically  set  forth  shall  be  deemed  to  be  waived.  Any  party  dissatisfied  may,  within 
thirty  days  after  judgment  against  him  or  his  lot,  or  the  order  to  pay  the  damages  assessed,  appeal 
to  the  Supreme  Court  to  review  the  matter  complained  of,  and  the  appeal  shall  be  taken  in  the 
manner  and  with  the  same  effect  as  prescribed  in,  and  in  all  respects  to  be  in  conformity  to  an 
Act  to  declare  and  regulate  the  power  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San 
Francisco  to  take  private  lands  for  certain  public  improvements,  and  to  prescribe  the  manner  of  its 
execution,  approved  April  fourth,  eighteen  hundred  and  sixty-four,  and  all  subsequent  proceedings 
shall  be  in  conformity  therewith  and  with  the  same  effect. 

SEC.  4.  All  acts  and  proceedings  under  this  law  shall  be  liberally  construed,  and  the  judg- 
ments aad  proceedings  of  the  County  Court  shall  be  construed  like  judgments  and  proceedings  of 
courts  of  general  jurisdiction. 

SEC.  5.  The  Sheriff  shall  collect  fees  for  the  execution,  in  case  an  execution  issues,  as  in  other 
cases ;  but  each  party  may  pay  to  the  Treasurer  the  amount  of  the  judgment  against  him,  and  the 
Treasurer's  receipt  being  produced  to  the  County  Court,  satisfaction  of  the  judgment  shall  be 
entered  by  the  Clerk.  The  Clerk  shall  not  charge  any  fees  for  the  proceedings  unless  execution 
issues,  in  which  case  he  shall  be  authorized  to  charge  five  dollars  for  each  execution,  to  be  collected 
by  the  Sheriff  on  the  execution. 

SEC.  6.    This  Act  shall  take  effect  from  and  after  its  passage. 

In  the  matter  of  property  of  the  City  and  County  being  affected,  the  Act  of  April  2,  1870

of  laud  belonging  to  said  City  and  County;  and  such  petition  shall  have  the  same  effect  as  if  the 
same  were  signed  by  or  in  behalf  of  the  owners  of  any  property  not  belonging  to  sa'.d  City  and 
County. "

Water  Rates. 


In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  the 
State,  approved  March  7,  1888  (Statute  1881,  page  54),  requiring  statements 
to  be  filed  by  companies,  persons  and  corporations  engaged  in  the  business 
of  supplying  pure,  fresh  water  for  use  of  the  inhabitants  in  the  month  of 
January  of  each  year,  the  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Supplies  (consist- 
ing of  Supervisors  Morton,  Burns,  McDonald,  Hawkins  and  Joost)  intro- 
duced, and  the  Board  adopted,  a  Resolution  numbered  1,315  (Third  Series) 
at  a  meeting  held  December  3,  1888,  directing  the  Clerk  to  notify  the  Spring 
Valley  Water  Works,  and  every  other  corporation,  company  or  person  sup- 
plying water  to  the  City  and  County,  or  to  the  inhabitants,  to  file  detailed 
statements  showing  the  name  and  residence  of  each  water  rate  payer,  and 
the  amount  paid  during  the  year  preceding  the  date  of  such  statement;  also 
all  revenue  derived  from  all  sources,  and  an  itemized  statement  of  expendi- 
tures made  for  supplying  water  during  said  time,  etc. 

In  compliance  therewith,  certified  copies  of  said  Resolution  No.  32 
(Third  Series)  with  blank  forms  of  statements  were  transmitted  to  and  served

Under  the  provisions  of  Order  No.  1,949,  determining  water  rates  for  the 
year  commencing  July  1,  1888,  and  ending  June  30,  1889,  all  persons,  com- 
panies or  corporations  supplying  water  weie  empowered  to  apply  meters  for 
the  purpose  of  discovering  waste  or  excessive  use,  and  to  charge  for  water 
wasted  or  excessively  used  at  meter  rates  provided  that  the  waste  or  exces- 
sive use  of  water  so  found  should  exceed  by  ten  per  cent,  the  number  of  gal- 
lons which,  at  the  regular  meter  rates,  amounts  to  the  rated  bill.  Acting 
under  this  provision  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  applied  meters,  and, 
when  waste  or  excessive  use  was  shown  by  the  meters,  charged  therefor.. 
Various  complaints  were  made  from  time  to  time  in  reference  to  these 
charges,  which  were  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Sup- 
plies. 

On  December  3,  1888,  the  following  Petition  of  Residents  and  Tax-payers 
was  received,  requesting  the   Board  to   prohibit  the   placing  of  any  more 


WATEK  BATES.  227 

meters  in  position  by  the  Spring  Vallej  Water  Works,  and  to  compel  the 
removal  of  those  now  placed  and  used  to  register  the  water  used  for  house- 
hold purposes,  to  wit: 

PETITION  FOR  THE  REMOVAL  OF  WATER  METERS. 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  November  30,  1888. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Franc'sco: 

GENTLEMEN:  Owing  to  tlie  many  wrongs  that  have  been  and  are  daily  being  perpetrated  by 
the  Spring  Valley  Water  Company  toward  the  people  of  the  city  and  county  of  San^Francisco  in 
consequence  of  attempting'  to  supply  water  through  meters  to  the  people  of  said  city  and  county  of 
San  Francisoo,  and  the  many  outrageous  overcharges  the  people  of  said  city  and  county  of  San 
Francisco  are  being  subjected  to  by  said  Spring  Valley  Water  Company,  and  as  such  conduct  by  said 
water  company  is  absolutely  no  longer  tolerable  by  the  people  of  the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco, 
therefore,  we  the  undersigned,  residents  and  tax-payers  of  the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco,  do 
most  respectfully  request  you  and  absolutely  demand  that  you  at  once  pass  an  ordinance  forbidding 
said  water  company  to  place  any  more  meters,  and  that  you  compel  said  Spring  Valley  Water  Com- 
pany to  remove  meters  now  in  position  and  in  use  by  said  water  company.  We  also  most  respect- 
fully refer  your  Honorable  Board  to  a  few .  facts  connected  with  this  water  business  to  show  the 
absolute  necessity  of  banishing  these  water  meters  out  of  use  in  the  city  and  county  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, to  wit : 

I.  The  meter  system  admits  of  fraud  In  overcharging,  of  which  we  lay  before  you  prima  facie 
evidence. 

II.  All  houses  connected  with  sewers  and  having  closets  inside,  and  depending  for  being  cleaned 
by  the  flow  of  water,  are  never  thoroughly  cleaned  for  fear  of  too  much  use  of  water,  and  the  result 
B  tilth  remains  on  this  side  of  the  trap,  which  causes  foul  odor  and  is  the  cause  of  a  great  deal  of 
sickness  and  many  deaths  in  this  city. 

III.  No  property  owner  is  justified  to  build  houses  in  this  city  for  tenement  purposes,  in  conse- 
quence of  these  water  meters.    A  person  owning  a  double  tenement  house  for  which  he  receives  $50 
per  month,  water  rates  as  established  by  your  Honorable  Board  for  said  house  say  $1,  the  owner 
calculates  on  $46  for  his  own  or  family  use,  the  water  company  brings  a  meter  to  his  house  and  com" 
mences  in  accordance  with  its  own  way  of  calculating  and  figuring.    The  following  month  the  owner 
gets  his  rent,  say  $50,  and  in  place  of  $4  for  water  he  is  presented  with  a  bill  of  $10  or  $15  from  the 
water  company.    Now,  where  is  the  owner's  compensation  ?    And  your  Honorable  Board  will  see  at 
once  that  under  these  circumstances  no  man  is  justified  in  investing  one  dollar  in  tenement  property 
in  San  Francisco  when  he  is  absolutely  sure  he  will  be  compelled  to  divide  his  income  from  rent 
with  the  water  company.    Your  honorable  Board  will  at  once  realize  the  great  injury  this  is  to  the 
progress  of  this  city,  and  knowing  this  to  be  the  case  we  most  respectfully  request  and  absolutely 
demand  at  your  hands  the  abolishing  of  all  water  selling  through  meters,  as  it  is  a  nuisance  and 
intolerable.

We  ask  your  Honorable  Board  to  at  once  act  upon  this  petition,  in  behalf  of  all  the  .tax-payera 
of  the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco. 

On  December  12,  1888,  the  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Supplies, 
held  a  meeting  for  the  purpose  of  hearing  the  petitioners,  but  none  appeared. 

Mr.  Wm.  F.  Herrin  attorney  for,  and  Geo.  E.  Booker  of  the  Spring 
Valley  Water  Works,  were  present,  and  made  statements  in  connection  with 
the  registration  of  water  used  by  the  meter  system,  of  the  necessity  of  using 


228  WATER   BATES. 

meters  to  stop  waste  or  excessive  use  of  water,  claiming  that  if   the  meters 
were  out  of  order  they  would  register  against  the  company. 

The  attorney  of  the  company  presented  the  following  communication 
from  the  President  of  the  Spring  Valley  "Water  Works  in  answer  to  the 
prayer  of  the  petitioners  the  water  rate  payers,  to  wit: 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  CHAS.  WEBB  HOWARD. 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  December  12,  1888. 
To  the  Honorble  Water  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors: 

GENTLEMEN  :  I  am  informed  through  the  public  press  of  the  petition  signed  by  F.  H  Gilbert 
and  others,  which  has  been  referred  to  your  Committee  for  its  consideration.  I  understand  that 
the  prayer  of  this  petition  is  that  the  Board  of  Supervisors  should  at  once  pass  an  ordinance  for- 
bidding the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  from  placing  any  more  meters  and  compelling  the  company 
to  remove  its  meters  now  in  use.  The  complaint  of  this  petition  is  directed  against  the  use  of 
meters  by  the  company  for  the  purpose  of  discovering  waste  or  excessive  use  of  water,  as  regulated 
and  provided  by  Section  12  of  the  present  water  ordinance. 

The  first  question,  therefore,  which  this  petition  presents  'for  consideration  is  whether  the 
means  provided  by  Section  12  for  the  discovery  of  waste  or  excessive  use  shall  be  continued.  I  do 
not  think  it  can  be  questioned  that  some  mode  of  detecting  and  preventing  the  wasteful  u3e  of  water 
must  be  adopted  and  enforced  in  this  city.  The  long  experience  of  the  company  shows  that  unless 
the  wasteful  use  of  water  is  prevented  as  far  as  possible,  that  the  daily  consumption  of  this  city  will 
be  increased  from  five  to  ten  millions  of  gallons.  The  average  daily  consumption  at  this  time  Is 
about  sixteen  millions  of  gallons.  If  we  add  t  j  this  five  or  ten  millions  more,  such  increased  con- 
sumption would  result  in  a  water  famine,  unless  we  should  have  an  extraordinary  rainfall  during 
the  present  winter,  and  to  allow  the  unrestricted  wasteful  use  of  water  would  certainly  require  the 
expenditure  of  several  millions  of  dollars  to  secure  an  additional  water  supply  meet  such  wasteful 
use.  The  tax  of  acquiring  such  additional  water  supply  (which  would  be  unnecessary  if  waste  is 
prevented)  must  ultimately  rest  upon  the  water  consumers.  They  must  pay  this  tax  in  some  form, 
If  the  city  expends  the  money,  by  the  ordinary  forms  of  taxation,  or  if  private  capital  be  invested, 
by  an  increase  of  rates  sufficient  to  pay  interest  upon  such  capital.  The  best  interests  of  the  water 
consumers  require  that  excessive  and  wasteful  use  of  water  should  be  prevented,  and  this  is  most 
apparent  when  we  consider  the  fact  disclosed  by  the  experience  of  this  company,  which  is  that  less 
than  one-tenth  of  the  meters  now  in  use  by  the  company  under  Section  12  disclose  waste.  In  other 
words,  the  bills  of  less  than  one-tenth  of  the  rate-payers  are  affected  by  the  use  of  these  meters. 
I  think  it  fair  to  say  that  the  maximum  use  of  water  that  is  made  by  each  or  any  of  nine  consumers 
out  of  ten  may  be  accepted  as  a  just  measure  of  the  amount  of  water  that  should  be  allowed  con- 
sumers generally— that  any  use  exceeding  this  amount  should  be  justly  considered  as  excessive  and 
wasteful.  It  is  a  simple  matter  of  calculation  to  determine  the  amount  of  water  that  any  house- 
rate  will  give,  and  an  examination  of  these  amounts  fully  confirms  the  fact  shown  by  the  experience 
of  the  company  which  I  have  above  stated,  which  is  that  the  fixed  rates  of  the  present  water  ordinance 
give  an  ample  allowance  of  water  to  each  consumer  before  his  rate  can  be  affected  by  the  use  of  a 
meter  under  Section  12. 

The  sole  object  of  the  company  in  the  use  of  meters  under  Section  12  is  to  prevent  waste,  and  if 
the  wasteful  use  of  water  could  be  prevented  by  any  other  means  more  satisfactory  to  the  consumer, 
the  company  is  ready  and  willing  to  adopt  it.  I  am  not  able  to  suggest  any  better  or  more  efficient 
method  of  checking  waste  than  that  provided  by  Section  12  of  the  present  water  ordinance. 

If,  then,  we  are  to  conclude,  as  I  think  we  must,  that  the  present  fixed  rates  give  ah  ample  allow- 
jance  of  water,  and  that  a  use  exceeding  such  allowance  is  wasteful  and  should  be  prevented,  and 
that  the  use  of  meters  under  Section  12  is  a  proper  mode  of  checking  waste,  then  we  are  brought 
io  consider  the  only  remaining  question  which  can  be  made  against  the  company's  use  of  meters,  and 
that  is  that  the  meters  are  inaccurate  and  over-register  the  amount  of  water  passing  through  them. 
There  is  but  one  way  to  determine  this  question,  and  that  is  by  actual  tests  of  the  meters,  and  the 
company  will  gladly  co-operate  in  making  such  tests  in  any  and  all  cases  where  complaints  are  made. 
It  is  stated  in  the  above-mentioned  petition  that  in  order  to  clean  the  sewers  and  closets  there 
cannot  be  too  much  use  of  water.  This  is  evidently  advanced  as  an  argument  against  preventing  or 
checking  the  wasteful  xise  of  water.  The  waste  of  water  through  water-closets  ordinarily  results 
from  lifting  the  piston  nad  allowing  a  continuous  stream  of  water  to  flow  through  the  closet.  This. 


WATEK  RATES.  229 

small  stream  of  water  has  little  or  no  tendency  to  clean  the.  pipes  and  sewer,  and  when  the  water  is 
so  continuously  running  the  foul  gases  from  the  sewer  are  not  impeded  from  passing  up  into  the 
building.  The  only  effective  way  of  cleansing  the  pipes  and  sewers  is  by  means  of  flushing.  One 
pail  of  water  allowed  to  escape  at  one  time  through  the  pipes  would  do  more  good  than  many 
hogsheads  of  water  allowed  to  dribble  by  holding  open  the  valve  to  the  water-closet.  This  practice 
of  allowing  water  to  run  continuously  through  water-closets  does  little  or  no  good  towards  the 
cleansing  of  the  pipes  and  sewers,  but  has  a  tendency  to  create  a  current  of  air  which  forces  the  foul 
gases  of  the  sewer  up  into  the  building. 

The  petition  refers  to  the  effect  of  using  meters  upon  -tenement  houses.  Much  trouble  occurs 
where  the  person  xising  the  water  is  not  made  directly  responsible  for  its  waste.  If  the  water  bill  is 
to  be  paid  by  the  landlord,  the  tenant  is  naturally  not  as  careful  in  his  use  of  water  as  he  would  be 
if  he  had  to  pay  the  water  bill.  There  are  many  cases,  also,  where  there  is  but  one  meter  put 
on  several  houses  or  tenements,  and  it  is  ordinarily  impossible  to  determine  which  particular  tenant 
is  wasteful  of  the  water.  This  could  all  be  substantially  remedied  by  having  separate  connections  to 
the  premises  of  each  tenant  and  by  making  the  tenant  directly  responsible  for  the  waste  of  water. 

Ail  of  which  is  very  respectfully  submitted. 

CHAS.  WEBB  HOWARD, 

Pres't  S.  V.  W.  W. 

The  committee  adjourned  without  any  action,  for  the  purpose  of  holding 
a  meeting  on  December  19,  1888,  to  hear  all  parties  who  might  desire  to 
give  any  information  as  to  the  use  and  operation  of  water  meters  and  as  to 
the  charges  made  and  collected  for  water  claimed  to  be  wasted  or  excessively 
used.  Notices  were  sent  through  the  postoffice  to  all  known  complainants, 
and  the  attention  of  the  public  was  called  to  the  fact  of  the  meeting  to  be 
held  for  that  purpose  in  the  different  newspapers. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  held  December  17,  1888,  the  following  com 
munication  from  His  Honor  Mayor  Pond  was  received,  appointing  John  Q, 
Brown,  Esq.,  Gas  and  Water  Inspector,  which  appointment  was  confirmed 
by  a  unanimous  vote;

SAN  FRANCISCO,  December     ,  1888. 
To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco.- 

GENTLEMEN  :  I  hereby  appoint  John  Q.  Brown,  of  this  city  and  county,  #s  Gas  and  Water 
Inspector  of  San  Francisco,  and  respectfully  ask  that  the  appointment  be  continued. 

I  have  not  previously  filled  the  place  made  vacant  by  the  death  of  Edmund  P.  McCarthy,  for  the 
reason  that  I  failed  to  find  a  person  possessing  the  qualifications  required  by  the  Consolidation  Act . 
Mr.  Brown  is  eminently  fitted  for  the  place,  being  possessed  of  great  experience  and  thorough 
knowledge  concerning  the  proper  qualities  and  illuminating  power  of  gas  acquired  by  long  experi 
ence  in  its  manufacture. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

E.  B.  POND, 

Mayor 

At  the  adjourned  meeting  of  the  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Sup- 
plies, held  on  December  19,  1888,  for  the  purpose  of  hearing  all  persons  in- 
terested and  who  felt  aggrieved  by  the  use  of  water  meters  and  the  charges 
made  by  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  for  water  claimed  to  be  wasted  or

excessively  used,  a  Mr.  Fitzpatrick  appeared  and  was  heard,  also  a  Mr.  Chas. 
B.  Harkins,  who  presented  the  following  communication  purporting  to  be 
from  an  association  known  as  the  Water  Consumers'  Union  in  reference  to 
tests  of  water  meters  made,  to  wit: 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  WATER  CONSUMERS'  UNION. 

To  the  Water  Committee,  Board  of  Supervisors: 

GENTLEMEN  :  Early  in  October  last  a  body  of  the  citizens  of  this  city  and  county  formed  them- 
selves into  an  association  to  be  known  as  the  Water  Consumers'  Union. 

The  object  and  purpose  of  this  association  was  to  investigate  justly  the  meter  system  used  by 
the  Spring  Valley  Water  Company,  and  if  the  system  proved  unjust  to  the  consumer,  to  recommend 
and  aid  in  its  displacement.  After  due  trial  in  several  parts  of  the  city  under  the  auspices  of  the 
society  alone,  the  meters  proved  in  each  and  every  instance  c  rrect  as  to  quantity  registered.  An 
investigation  as  to  the  raise  in  bills  to  several  consumers  disclosed  the  fact  that  in  each  instance  a 
leakage  was  found,  and  the  water  running  to  waste.  Under  these  circumstances  this  association  is 
bound  to  admit  the  justice  both  to  the  consumer  and  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Company  of  the 
meter  system,  and  recommend  its  continuance. 

P.  B.  GALLAGHER, 

President 
CHARLES  B.  HARKINS, 

Secretary. 

After  consideration  of  the  provisions  of  the  Order  establishing  water 
rates,  and  the  complaints  as  to  the  charges  made  by  meter  measurement  for 
.water  claimed  to  be  excessively  used,  the  following  report  was  made  to  the 
Board  on  December  24,  1888,  and  an  Order  submitted  providing  for  the  in- 
spection of  water  meters  by  the  Water  Inspector,  and  for  an  adjustment  of 
the  charges  to  be  made  by  that  officer  for  water  wasted  or  excessively  used. 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  WATER  AND  WATER  SUPPLIES. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  :  Your  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Supplies,  to  whom  was  referred  a  petition 
of  tax-payers,  etc.,  requesting  the  Board  to  prohibit  by  ordinance  the  placing  of  any  more  meters  by 
the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  and  to  compel  the  removal  of  those  now  in  use  by  that  corporation, 
and  complaining  of  the  amounts  charged  for  waste  and  excessive  use  of  water  by  meter  measure- 
ment, 

Would  respectfully  report,  that  your  committee  were  desirous  of  obtaining  all  the  information 
possible  relative  to  the  subject  of  complaint,  and  notified  the  petitioners  (whose  addresses  were  not 
furnished)  by  mail  of  the  meeting  of  your  committee  for  that  purpose;  but  as  none  appeared  at  the 
meeting  held  on  the  12th  inst.,  an  adjourned  meeting  was  held  on  the  19th  inst.,  of  which  the  public 
had  due  notice  in  the  publication  of  that  fact  by  the  newspapers. 

At  said  meeting  a  communication  from  an  association  known  as  the  "  Water  Consumers 
Union  "  was  presented  and  read  by  Mr.  Chas.  B.  Harkins,  Secretary  of  said  Union,  relative  to  in- 
vestigations claimed  to  be  made  by  said  Union  into  the  consumption  of  water  as  shown  by  the 
meters  and  in  each  case  it  was  stated  that  the  meters  were  correct. 

A  Mr.  Fitzpatrick  was  also  heard,  who  claimed  that  in  the  trials  or  tests  of  the  meters  lately 
made,  that  the  hydrants  on  the  streets  contiguous  were  allowed  to  run  and  that  the  pressure  on  the 
flow  of  water  through  the  meters  was  thereby  decreased,  and  that  the  tests  so  made  did  not  indicate 
the  correctness  of  the  registration  of  the  water  forced  through  the  meter. 

These  comprised  all  the  persons  who  presented  themselves  before  your  committee,  and  while  the 
information  conveyed  was  not  of  such  weight  as  to  throw  any  clear  conception  of  the  complaints 
which  your  committee  supposed  would  be  offered  as  to  the  question  of  the  proper  registration  of  the 


WATER  KATES.  231 

•consumption  of  water  as  furnished  through  the  meters,  the  subject  of  imposing  some  check  and 
supervision  over  the  consumption  of  water  in  cases  where  waste  or  excessive  use  of  water  was 
claimed,  engaged  the  attention  of  your  committee. 

A  communication  from  Charles  Webb  Howaid,  President  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works, 
was  also  received  in  reply  to  the  complaints  made  by  petitioners,  and  representatives  of  that  com- 
pany were  present  at  the  meeting. 

The  Order  No.  1,949,  establishing  water  rates  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1889,  passed  by  your 
Honorable  Board,  provides  by  section  12  thereof  that  "  All  persons,  companies  or  corporations  sup- 
plying water  as  aforesaid  shall  have  power  in  all  cases  to  apply  meters  for  the  purpose  of  discovering 
waste  or  excessive  use,  and  when  waste  or  excessive  use  is  found,  to  charge  for  water  so  wasted  or 
excessively  used  at  meter  rates,  provided  that  the  waste  or  excessive  use  so  found  shall  exceed  by 
ten  per  cent,  the  number  of  gallons  which,  at  the  regular  meter  rates,  amounts  to  the  rated  bill." 

This  gives  the  right  to  the  company  to  place  meters  and  to  charge  for  water  wasted  or  excessively 
used;  in  other  words,  under  the  Order  the  company  determines  the  question  of  waste  or  excessive 
use  and  charges  therefor  at  meter  rates. 

It  is  claimed  on  the  part  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  that  the  object  of  placing  meters  is 
to  prevent  waste  or  excessive  use,  and  that  after  notification  of  the  parties,  if  the  waste  or  excessive 
use  is  stopped  the  charge  thereof  is  reduced,  but  that  un'.ess  stopped  the  company  charge  therefor  at 
meter  rates;  also,  that  it  has  not  been  the  intention  of  the  company  to  collect  a  revenue  from  this 
source,  but  only  to  discourage  and  prevent  waste  and  husband  the  supplies  of  water  for  the  public 
use. 

There  can  be  no  doubt  of  the  importance  and  necessity  of  preventing  waste,  and  your  committee 
are  of  opinion  that  no  sensible  person  would  justify  or  encourage  waste,  while  all  will  concede  and 
demand  an  ample  supply  for  all  wants. 

It  is  claimed  also,  on  the  part  of  the  company,  that  the  principal  causes  of  waste  arise  from 
leaky  pipes  and  from  an  improper  idea  that  the  constant  flow  of  water  in  a  closet  or  basin  purifies 
and  prevents  the  escape  of  deleterious  gases. 

While  it  is  a  safe  presumption,  from  the  experience  of  other  cities,  in  addition  to  the  cases  cited 
in  this  city,  that  the  custom  of  allowing  water  to  so  flow  ha,s  been  prevalent,  it  is  believed  from  the 
agitation -of  this  question  that  this  mistaken  opinion  as  to  the  effect  in  the  minds  of  some  consumers 
will  be  removed  and  this  custom  discontinued. 

As  the  case  now  stands,  there  ought  to  be  some  protection  afforded  the  water  consumer,  so  that 
no  unjust  cl-arges  may  be  made  for  water  used,  and  that  the  fact  of  waste  or  excessive  use  should  be 
determined  by  a  careful  test  of  the  meters  and  the  measurement  taken  by  a  person  wholly  inde- 
pendent of  the  company,  and  the  amount  of  water  used  or  excessively  used  adjusted  under  and 
pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  the  Order  establishing  water  rates. 

Your  committee  are  of  opinion  that  as  a  Gas  Inspector  has  been  appointed  by  his  Honor  the 
Mayor,  who  is  ex-officio  Water  Inspector,  this  duty  ought  to  be  imposed  upon  him  in  order  that 
water  consumers  may  be  protected  and  waste  or  excessive  use  of  water  prevented. 

Your  committee  would  therefore  recommend  the  passage  of  an  Order  substantially  providing 
that  when  any  consumer  of  water  supplied  by  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Wurks,  within  five  days  after 
presentation  to  him  of  any  bill  of  said  company  containing  a  charge  for  waste  or  excessive  used  a 
water  shall  make  complaint  to  the  Water  Inspector  that  such  charge  is  incorrect,  that  said  In- 
spector shall  promptly  inspect  the  premises  of  the  consumer  and  cause  a  test  to  be  made  of  the 
meter  upon  said  premises,  and  from  such  inspection  and  test  and  such  subsequent  tests  or  examina- 
tions as  said  Inspector  may  deem  necessary  to  make,  shall  determine  as  near  as  can  be,  the  amount 
of  water  used  or  consumed  upon  said  premises  during  the  period  covered  by  said  bill.  Upon  such 
determination  being  made,  and  within  fifteen  days  after  said  complaint  is  made,  the  said  Inspector 
hall  make  his  certificate,  stating  the  amount  of  water  used  and  showing  the  true  amount,  if  anything, 
the  company  is  entitled  to  charge  the  consumer  for  waste  or  excessive  use  of  water  according  to  the 
provisions  of  the  then  existing  Order  establishing  water  rates,  and  immediately  transmit  such  cer- 
tificate to  said  company,  and  also  a  copy  thereof  to  the  water  consumer. 

Also  providing  that  the  said  Water  Inspector  shall  keep  a  proper  record,  showing  the  date  of 
•each  complaint  made  to  him,  the  name  of  each  consumer,  the  location  of  the  premises,  and  stating 
briefly  the  examination  made  by  him  of  the  premises  and  the  tests  applied  to  the  meter,  the  time  of 
such  examination  and  tests  and  the  results  thereof,  and  all  other  material  matters  in  connection 
therewith.  The  said  record  to  be  open  for  public  examination  in  the  office  of  the  Water  Inspector. 
This  Order  as  recommended  would  provide  a  remedy  for  all  complaints,  and  have  the  question 
of  consumption  of  water  claimed  to  be  for  waste  or  excessive  use  determined  by  a  public  official 
wholly  independent  of  the  company  or  the  consumer  and  would  not  interfere  with  cases  in  which 


232  WATER  BATES. 

there  was  no  dispute  or  contention.  It  is  presumed  that  many  cases  of  waste  of  water  occur  from 
leaky  pipes  and  other  causes  which  would  be  conceded,  and  on  being  promptly  stopped  subject  the 
consumer  to  no  onerous  charge;  but  from  whatever  cause,  the  proposed  Order  provides  a  remedy  to 
the  consumer  against  any  charge  for  water  not  authorized  by  the  Order  fixing  rates. 

The  performance  of  the  duties  imposed  by  this  Order  will  tax  the  time  of  the  Water  Inspector, 
and  if  required  additional  assistance  ought  to  be  furnished,  so  that  these  duties  may  be  thoroughly 
and  efficiently  performed. 

Your  committee  have  embodied  these  views  somewhat  hastily  from  a  discussion  of  the  friction 
and  discontent  apparently  existing  in  the  case  of  parties  charged  by  the  company  with  waste  or  ex- 
cessive use  of  water.  It  is  believed  that  an  Order  formulated  as  sugg  sted,  containing  such  addi- 
tional provisions  as  may  be  required  to  give  it  proper  effect,  will  be  alike  beneficial  to  the  water 
consumer  and  the  company,  and  determine  any  issue  raised,  wholly  independent  of  either  and  secure 
what  is  desired.  In  that  view  your  committee  recommends  the  passage  of  the  accompanying  Order. 
The  communications  from  the  Water  Consumers'  Union  and  from  Charles  Webb  Howard, 
President  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  are  herewith  annexed  as  a  portion  of  this  report.

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  Order  introduced  by  the  Committee  on 
Water  and  Water  Supplies  and  passed  by  the  Board,  intended  to  remedy,  a» 
far  as  practicable,  the  complaints  made,  by  providing  an  examination  and 
determination  of  the  question  of  waste  or  excessive  use  of  water  by  a  public 
officer  wholly  independent  of  the  company,  and  the  amount  due  therefor,

made  to  this  Board;  and 

WHEREAS,  It  is  the  province  of  this  Board  to  enforce  regulations  to  determine  the  amoun  t  of

The  receipts  of  the  company  for  1887  were  $1,350,824  43,  being  $33,425  21  less  than  in  1888.  This 
increase  in  receipts  of  1888  over  1887  was  in  part  occasioned  by  the  fact  that  the  amount  of  charges 
for  water  uncollected  at  the  end  of  1888  was  less  than  those  delinquent  at  the  end  of  1887,  and  also 
by  the  increased  number  of  rate-payers. 

We  have  expended  during  the  year  on  account  of  new  construction  the  sum  of  $2,723,251  30, 
having  vigorously  prosecuted  the  work  of  building  the  lower  Crystal  Springs  dam,  which  is  now 
constructed  to  a  height  of  about  115  feet  and  is  ready  to  receive  the  water  from  the  water-shed  con- 
nected therewith.  We  will  complete  this  dam  to  a  height  of  170  feet  in  the  near  future,  which  will 
give  an  ample  storage  capacity  for  the  needs  of  the  city  for  many  years.  The  pipe-line  and  pumping 
works  for  utilizing  the  wateis  of  Alameda  creek,  in  Alameda  county,  is  completed.  These  works 
were  put  in  operation  in  August  last,  and  are  now  yielding  an  average  daily  supply  to  the  city  of 
about  8,030,003  gallons,  which,  with  an  average  rainfall,  they  will  continue  to  furnish  until  about 
April,  1889;  during  the  dry  months  these  works  will  furnish  an  average  daily  supply  of  at  least 
3,500,000  gallons.  As  the  average  daily  consumption  of  water  furnished  by  this  company  during  the 
past  year  has  been  18,253,000  gallons,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  Alameda  supply,  which  comes  from  our" 
Calaveras  water-shed,  is  a  very  important  addition  to  the  works  of  the  company.  Indeed,  the  com- 
pany could  not  have  amply  supplied  the  city  during  the  past  four  months  but  for  this  supply  from 
the  Galaveras  water-shed. 

The  company  has  projected  and  has  in  process  of  construction  a  tunnel  24,500  feet  in  length 
from  San  Francisquito  creek,  on  the  border  line  between  San  Mateo  and  Santa  Clara  counties,  to 
the  reservoir  formed  by  the  lower  Crystal  Springs  dam,  which  reservoir  will  have  a  storage  capacity 
of  32,000,000,000  gallons,  and  is  much  larger  than  is  needed  for  its  natural  water-shed.  It  is  the  pur- 
pose of  the  company,  therefore,  to  utilize  this  reservoir  for  storing  the  waters  of  the  San  Francisquito 
creek  and  other  water-sheds;  for  that  purpose  the  above-mentioned  tunnel  is  being  constructed, 
with  a  diameter  of  about  eleven  feet  in  the  clear,  with  a  discharging  capacity  of  250,000,000 
gallons  daily.  All  the  money  which  has  been  used  in  constructing  these  works  and  permanent  im- 
provements has  been  obtained  upon  the  credit  of  the  company  and  from  the  sale  of  its  first  and 
second  mortgage  bonds.  Not  one  dollar  of  the  revenue  collected  from  rate-payers  has  been  devoted 
to  the  payment  of  the  cost  of  these  new  works  and  improvements.  The  security  furnished  by  the 
mortgage  bonds  has  enabled  the  company  to  get  money  at  the  low  rate  of  from  4  to  6  per  cent,  per 
annum  interest. 

These  large  and  expensive  improvements,  which  are  necessary  to  furnish  an  adequate  supply  of 
water  to  the  city  and  its  inhabitants,  are  being  made  without  any  tax  to  the  consumers  of  the  com 
pany  other  than  the  payment  of  the  low  rate  of  interest  upon  the  money  actually  used  in  and  neces- 
sary for  these  improvements.  The  company,  in  constructing  the  works,  has  been  governed  by*the 
Trest  engineering  ability,  has  exercised  thorough  economy,  and  at  the  same  time  has  made  them  in 
the  most  substantial  way.  For  example,  the  lower  Crystal  Springs  dam  is  being  built  of  concrete,  or 
solid  rock,  and  will  cost  much  more  than  an  earth  dam,  but  is  enough  more  safe  in  our  estimation  at 
justify  the  increased  expense.  If  these  works  had  been  constructed  by  the  city  or  under  public 
contract  they  would  have  cost  from  two  to  three  times  the  amount  we  have  expended,  and  would 
have  been  very  much  less  thoroughly  built,  all  of  which  would  have  resulted  in  a  much  greater  tax 
to  the  water  consumers  of  this  city  than  is  now  asked  of  them  by  this  company. 
The  financial  condition  of  the  company  is  as  follows  : 

Capital  stock $10,000,000 

First  mortgaged  bonded  indebtedness 4,975,000 

Second  mortgaged  bonded  indebtedness 3,500,000 

Mortgage  to  Hibernia  Bank 275.COO 

Floating  indebtedness 667,008 


Total $19,417,008 

During  the  coming  year  the  company  will  expend  from  $750,000  to  81,000,000  in  constructing  the 
tunnel  above  mentioned,  and  in  the  building  of  a  dam  across  San  Francisquito  creek,  at  Searsville, 
in  connection  with  said  tunnel,  and  in  addition  pumping  works  at  Black  Point,  to  enable  the  com- 
pany to  deliver  more  water  to  the  higher  levels  of  the  city,  which  elevations  *re  being  rapidly  cov- 
ered with  residences,  and  demand  an  increased  supply  of  water.  It  is  estimated  that  the  interest 
account  of  the  company  during  the  next  year  will  exceed  that  of  last  year  by  about  $80,000,  a  sum 
in  excess  of  what  the  increase  of  our  receipts  is  likely  to  be  under  present  rates  during  that  period. 
During  the  last  year  there  was  a  deficit  of  $41,286  26,  the  expenditures  of  the  company  having  ex- 


236  WATEK   KATES. 

eeeded  the  receipts  by  that  amount,  occasioned  by  extra  pumping  and  the  interest  on  new  construc- 
tion account. 

From  actual  experience  we  know  that  if  the  present  water  rates  are  continued  by  your  honorable 
Board,  the  company  cannot  expect  to  collect  more  than  sufficient  to  meat  its  expenditures,  consist- 
ing of  taxes,  interest,  operating  expanses  and  the  usual  dividends  to  stockholders.  That  the  com- 
pany must  have  an  income  sufficient^  to  pay  its  taxes,  interest  and  operating  expenses  is  beyond 
question;  that  its  rates  should  be  fixed  so  that  the  stockholders  may  receive  a  fair  return  up  an  their 
investment,  ought  not  to  be  questioned. 

The  subject  of  the  valuation  which  should  be  put  upon  this  property  for  the  purpose  of  fixing 
water  rates  has  been  frequently  and  thoroughly  discussed  by  your  predecessors.  In  the  Municipal 
Reports  for  prior  years  may  be  found  the  figures  showing  from  the  beginning  the  expenditures  and 
receipts  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  and  its  predecessor,  the  San  Francisco  Water  Works. 
The  objection  that  some  of  our  property,  which  cost  more  than  a  §1,000,000,  has  not  heretofore  been 
utilized,  has  been  substantially  removed  during  the  past  year,  inasmuch  as  we  are  now  deriving  an 
income  from  the  Geary  street  property,  which  relieves  the  rate-payer  from  any  burden  on  its  ac- 
count, and  the  Calaveras  property,  which  cost  §1,030,000,  and  for  the  utilizing  of  which  we 
have  expended  nearly  §2,000,003  more,  is  now  supplying  over  one-third  of  the  water  now  used  in 
the  city,  and  but  for  which  we  might  not  have  been  able  to  furnish  the  city  with  an  ample  supply 
during  the  past  four  months. 

That  the  present  water  rates  are  not  excessive  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  no  complaints  are 
made  concerning  any  fixed  rates.  The  only  complaints  made  are  with  reference  to  the  charges  for 
waste  or  excessive  use  in  addition  to  the  fixed  rates,  for  water  shown  by  the  usa  of  meters  to  be 
wasted,  under  Seation  12  of  the  present  ordinance.  When  your  honorable  body  shall  take  up  this 
subject  of  meters,  we  shall  be  glad  to  furnish  you  with  all  the  facts  and  invite  the  fullest  investiga- 
tion, which  will  show  that  the  use  of  meters  is  necessary  to  keep  the  consumption  of  water  within 
reasonable  limits  a'<d  to  prevent  a  water  famine;  that  the  company  has  expended  more  than  twice 
the  amount  of  money  in  putting  on  and  maintaining  meters  than  it  has  collected  on  account  of 
water  wasted.  Therefore,  in  view  of  the  mere  amount  of  money  expended  and  collected,  the  com' 
pany  has  lost  money  by  its  use  of  meters,  but  their  use  has  kept  the  consumption  of  water  within 
the  supply.  If  this  had  not  been  done,  the  millions  of  dollars  which  the  company  has  expended 
during  the  la&t  two  or  three'years  in  enlarging  the  works  would  have  been  required  years  ago,  and 
would  have  imposed  upon  the  rate-payers  the  payment  of  the  interest  thereupon  during  those  years, 
and  which  would  have  amounted  to  a  large  sum  of  money  each  year.  As  a  verification  of  this 
statement,  we  give  the  following  figures  showing  the  expenditures  of  the  company  during  the  last 
fcix  years  in  enlarging  its  works: 

1883 $1,050,035  94 

1884 932,464  31 

1885 881,406  25 

1836 652,575  32 

1887 1,257,98175- 

1883....  ..   2.723,251  30 


Total $7,497,764  87 

Had  the  company  not  used  the  means  it  has  to  prevent  waste,  these  expenditures  would  have 
had  to  have  been  made  from  five  to  ten  years  sooner  in  order  to  have  furnished  to  the  city  and  its 
inhabitants  an  adequate  supply  of  water. 

The  suppression  of  waste,  therefore,  by  the  use  of  meters  has  proved  to  be  for  the  benefit  of  the 
rate-payers  of  this  company.  It  is  true  that  where  the  meter  indicates  a  waste  of  water,  and  thus 
increases  the  bill  of  the  rate-payer,  it  causes  much  dissatisfaction;  but  the  uniform  experience  of 
the  company  is  that  the  waste  or  excessive  use  of  water  can  in  all  cases  be  prevented  with  proper 
care,  and  that  the  number  of  gallons  of  water  which  at  the  meter  rate  amounts  to  the  fixed  rate 
is  an  abundant  supply  in  all  cases.

The  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Supplies,  consisting  of  Supervisors 
Kingwell,  Bingharu,  Pilster,  Boyd  and  Wheelan,  held  a  preliminary  meeting 
on  February  13,  1889,  at  which  the  Chairman,  Supervisor  Kingwell,  stated 
that  the  object  of  the  meeting  was  to  consider  all  matters  in  reference  to 
water  rates,  in  order  to  enable  a  report  to  be  made  and  rates  fixed  for  the 
ensuing  year;  also,  that  all  parties  having  objections  to  charges  made,  either 
for  household  rates,  meter  rates  or  for  water  claimed  to  be  excessively  used, 
would  first  be  heard  by  the  committee,  and  thereafter  all  parties  interested, 
so  as  to  enable  the  committee  to  arrive  at  just  and  fair  conclusions  and  rec- 
ommend reasonable  rates  to  be  established  for  the  ensuing  year. 
Also,  that  the  members  of  the  Board  were  pledged  to  a  reduction  of  the  pres- 
ent water  rates  and  to  an  adjustment  of  the  rates,  to  the  end  that  the  small 
consumers  shall  pay  proportionately  the  same  rate  as  that  charged  the  large 
consumers  and  no  more.  Further  stated  that  while  pledged  to  this  action, 
it  was  the  duty  of  the  committee  to  intelligently  consider  the  whole  question, 
and  so  reduce  and  adjust  the  rates  that  the  water  rate-payers  would  not  be 
•subjected  to  arbitrary  action. 

Messrs.  Thomas  Kobinett,  John  Keegan,  J.  O'Day  and  Mrs.  M.  E. 
•Glocker,  complainants,  were  heard  by  the  committee. 

The  Committee  adjourned  to  meet  on  Friday  afternoon,  February  15, 
1889,  at  2  o'clock,  for  the  purpose  of  hearing  all  parties  interested  in  the 
matter  of  water  supplies  and  water  rates,  and  at  which  meeting  all  persons 
desiring  to  present  their  views  were  invited  to  be  present  by  public  notice  to 
that  effect.  At  that  meeting  John  J.  Coffey,  attorney  for  Thomas  Robinstt, 
Messrs.  Joseph  Hollzer,  Henry  Livingstone,  J.  Tilden,  John  Shirley  and  J. 
F.  Ortman,  water  rate-payers,  were  heard.  Messrs.  George  E.  Booker,  chief 
clerk,  and  Mr.  W.  F.  Herrin,  attorney  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works, 
were  present,  examined  the  complainants,  and  were  heard  in  reference 
thereto. 

The  Committee  then  adjourned  to  meet  on  Wednesday  afternoon,  Febru- 
ary 20,  1889,  at  2  o'clock,  for  the  purpose  of  hearing  any  further  testimony 
that  might  be  offered.  Messrs.  J.  J.  Coffey,  George  E.  Booker,  Wm.  Norris 
and  J.  P.  Cosgrove  appeared  and  were  heard.  Mr.  Joseph  Cosgrove  read  a 
list  of  and  the  assessed  values  of  the  real  and  personal  property  of  the  Spring 
Valley  Water  Works  in  San  Mateo  and  San  Francisco  counties  for  the  year 
1888.  Mr .  William  Norris,  Secretary  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works, 
stated  that  he  made  the  sworn  statement  of  the  value  of  the  property  of  the 
company. 

The  Committee  held  an  adjourned  meeting  on  Thursday  forenoon,  Feb- 
ruary 21,  1889,  at  10  o'clock,  at  which  an  order  determining  water  rates  waa 
read,  amended,  and  on  motion  the  committee  resolved  to  recommend  its 
passage  by  the  Board. 

His  Honor,  at  the  request  of  the  committee  and  a  majority  of  the  mem- 
.bers  of  the  Board,  called  a  special  meeting  at  1  o'clock  for  the  purpose  of 
Considering  and  passing  upon  the  order  prepared. 


238  WATEK   KATES, 

The  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Supplies,  by  Supervisor  King  well, 
presented  the  following  report: 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  WATER  AND  WATER  SUPPLIES. 

To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors: 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  Your  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Supplies,  to  whom,  under  your  instruct- 
ions, various  protests  were  referred,  against  the  charges  made  by  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  for 
alleged  waste  or  excessive  use  of  water,  would  respectfully  report  that  your  committee  met  and  held 
sessions  on  February  13th,  15th  aud  20th,  at  which  all  parties  interested  in  the  matter  of  water  sup- 
plies were  requested  to  be  present  aud  present  their  views  as  to  the  water  rates  imposed  and  col- 
lected. The  committee  heard  all  parties,  giving  each  the  opportunity  to  fully  present  their  views  iu 
their  own  way,  so  that  the  desired  information  as  to  the  nature  of  the  complaints  made  might  be 
determined. 

This  was  in  our  judgment  the  most  desirable  course  to  enable  the  committee  to  judge  of  the 
powers  granted  under  the  provisions  of  the  present  Order  fixing  water  rates,  and  if  unfair  or  unjust 
to  the  rate-payers  in  its  operation,  to  so  amend  the  Order  fixing  water  rates  to  be  submitted  by  your 
committee,  as  to  deprive  any  person,  company  or  corporation  supplying  water  to  the  inhabitants  of 
the  power  to  harass  and  oppress  our  citizens. 

It  appears  that  under  the  provisions  of  Order  No.  1,929,  the  present  order  establishing  water 
rates,  complaints  have  been  made  of  the  charges  for  water  claimed  to  be  wasted  or  excessively  used. 
These  complaints  were  the  cause  of  our  predecessors  in  office  passing  an  order  (No.  2,030)  providing 
for  an  inspection  of  water  meters  by  the  Water  Inspector,  in  order  to  test  the  correctness  of  the 
meters.  While  this  duty  is  required  and  is  performed  by  the  Water  Inspector  in  case  of  complaint 
being  made,  it  does  not  seem  to  have  the  result  of  obviating  or  remedying  the  matters  complained 
of.  The  complaints  seem  to  have  their  derivation  in  the  charges  permitted  and  rates  established 
by  the  existing  order.  In  other  words,  determining  the  quantity  of  water  required  for  household 
purposes  by  discriminating  and  excessive  meter  rates. 

Your  committee,  after  careful  consideration,  have  prepared  an  order  which  in  their  judgment 
will  remove  the  many  causes  of  complaint,  at  the  same  time  giving  the  company  such  a  revenue  as 
will  be  ample  and  sufficient  for  all  purposes.  The  order  reduces  the  present  household  rates  about 
sixteen  per  cent.;  gives  the  option  to  the  consumer  to  pay  by  meter  or  household  rates  as  he  elects; 
provides  a  uniform  meter  rate  of  16  cents  per  100  cubic  feet,  in  lieu  of  the  present  sliding  scale,  which 
is  from  34  to  16  cents,  the  highest  rate  being  imposed  on  the  smallest  consumer. 

Your  committee  in  submitting  the  accompanying  order  for  your  approval,  and  in  recommending 
its  passage,  believe  that  all  the  obligations  devolving  upon  the  Board  as  representatives  of  the 
people  have  been  met,  the  water  rates  have  been  materially  reduced,  the  small  consumer  is  pro- 
tected against  discrimination;  and  the  rate  payers, .by  having  the  privilege  to  pay  by  meter  rates,  can 
only  be  compelled  to  pay  for  the  water  actually  used. 

Understanding  that  the  order  fixing  water  rates  requires  to  be  passed  by  your  Honorable  Board 
during  the  month  of  February,  a  majority  of  the  members  requested  his  Honor  the  Mayor  to  call 
the  present  meeting,  to  enable  your  Honorable  Board  to  comply  with  the  provisions  of  the  statute  in. 
that  respect. 

VINCENT  KINGWELL, 

Chairman. 

The  order  determining  water  rates  for  the  year  commencing  July  1,  1889, 
was  then  on  motion  of  Supervisor  Kingwell  passed  for  printing  by  a  unani- 
mous vote,  Supervisor  Pescia  being  absent. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  held  Thursday  forenoon,  February  28,  1889,  a 
communication  was  received  from  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  requesting 
a  postponement  of  further  action  on  the  order  proposing  to  fix  water  rates 
until  such  time  as  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  could  be  heard;  also  rep- 
resenting that  said  company  had  not  been  heard  as  to  the  operation  and.

effect  of  said  order,  and  was  then  engaged  in  collecting  information  and  facts 
to  present  to  the  Board,  before  final  action  was  taken  to  fix  water  rates,  to  wit:. 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  THE  SPRING  VALLEY  WATER  WORKS. 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  February  20,  1889. 
To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN:  The  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  by  Charles  Webb  Howard,  its  President,  re- 
spectfully represents  to  your  Honorable  Body  that  the  proposed  order  "  determining  water  rates  and 
fixing  the  compensation  for  water  furnished  for  family  purposes,  for  private  purposes,  for  municipal 
purposes  and  for  public  purposes,"  passed  to  print  by  your  Honorable  Body  on  the  21st  day  of  Feb- 
ruary, 1889,  if  finally  adopted  and  enforced  during  the  year  commencing  July  1,  1889,  will  work  great 
injustice  and  injury  to  your  petitioner,  and  will  prevent  its  obtaining  a  fair  and  just  compensation 
for  the  water  supplied  by  it  to  the  said  city  and  county  and  the  inhabitants  thereof  ;  that  under  the 
provisions  of  said  order  it  will  not  be  possible  for  your  petitioner  to  collect  sufficient  revenue  to  pay 
the  disbursements  absolutely  necessary  to  be  paid  in  carrying  on  its  business  during  said  year  ;  that 
said  disbursements  consist  of  necessary  operating  expenses,  taxes  and  the  interest  upon  indebtedness 
incurred  in  the  construction,  enlargement  and  improvements  of  its  works.  That  according  to  the 
best  estimate  which  your  petitioner  has  been  able  to  make  the  total  income  which  it  could  collect 
under  the  provisions  of  said  order  must  fall  short  of  the  sum  necessary  for  said  disbursements  by  at 
least  $50,000.  That  the  practical  effect  of  said  order  would  be  to  deprive  the  stockholders  of  your 
petitioner  of  any  return  or  income  upon  the  money  invested  by  them  in  the  water  works  of  your 
petitioner ;  that  said  stockholders  number  1,039 ;  that  nearly  all  of  them  are  residents  of  the  city 
and  county  of  San  Francisco,  and  that  many  of  them  are  largely  dependent  upon  the  income  from 
heir  said  investment  for  their  personal  maintenance  and  support. 

That  during  the  last  six  years  your  petitioner  has  expended  in  enlarging  its  works  for  the  pur- 
pose of  securing  an  adequate  water  supply  for  this  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants,  the  sum  of 
$7,497,764  87;  of  said  expenditure  the  sum  of  $3,981,233  05  has  been  paid  out  during  the  last  two 
years,  1887-88.  That  further  enlargements  and  improvements  have  been  projected  by  yo  ir  peti- 
tioner, some  of  which  are  now  in  progress,  and  that  the  sum  of  $759,000  will  be  required  during 
said  year  to  pay  for  improvements  now  actually  in  course  of  construction.  That  your  petitioner 
has  expected  to  obtain  the  money  necessary  for  these  intended  improvements  by  a  further  issuance 
and  sale  of  its  bonds,  but  that  said  order,  if  adopted  and  enforced,  will  greatly  impede  and  obstruct 
your  petitioner  in  procuring  the  funds  necessary  for  said  purposes. 

Your  petitioner  respectfully  requests  your  Honorable  Board  to  grant ,  to  it  an  opportunity  to 
present  evidence  in  support  of  the  statements  hereinbefore  made,  and  to  that  end  it  respectfully 
asks  that  the  further  consideration  of  said  order  be  postponed  to  some  convenient  day  in  the  coming 
week  to  be  fixed  by  your  Honorable  Board.  Your  petitioner  further  states  that  it  has  thus  far  had 
no  opportunity  to  present  said  evidence  ;  that  the  said  order  was  passed  to  print  on  the  21st  day  of 
February  last,  as  already  stated,  and  that  the  meeting  of  your  Honorable  Board  on  this  the  28th  day 
of  February  is  the  first  opportunity  since  said  order  was  passed  to  print  which  your  petitioner  has  had 
to  present  its  objections  to  said  order  and  evidence  in  support  thereof.  That  your  petitioner  first 
received  notice  on  Tuesday,  the  26th  day  of  February,  that  the  said  order  would  come  up  for  con- 
sideration at  the  meeting  of  to-day ;  that  since  said  notice  was  received  by  your  petitioner  it  has 
diligently  sought  to  prepare  said  evidence  for  presentation,  but  that  it  has  found  it  impossible  to- 
complete  such  preparation  within  so  short  a  time  ;  that  your  petitioner  is  now  engaged  in  gathering 
and  collecting  said  evidence  and  expects  within  the  coming  week  to  be  able  to  present  fully  the 
facts,  which  in  the  opinion  of  your  petitioner  are  necessary  to  enable  your  Honorable  Body  to  arrive 
at  a  fair  and  just  determination  of  the  rates  to  be  charged  by  your  petitioner  for  the  year  com- 
mencing July  1, 1889.

rates,  had  heard  all  parties  interested,  and  after  consideration  and  consulta- 
tion with  His  Honor  Mayor  Pond,  had  prepared  the  present  order,  which  it 
was  believed  would  remove  the  cause  of  the  complaints  and  at  the  same  time 
provide  sufficient  revenue  for  the' company. 

Messrs.  W.  F.  Herrinand  J.  H.  Boalt,  attorneys,  appeared  on  behalf  of  the 
Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  and  requested  a  postponement  of  further  action 
by  the  Board  to  some  day  during  the  coming  week,  until  the  company  could  be 
heard  as  to  the  effect  the  order  under  consideration  would  have  on  their  reve- 
nue; also  that  the  company  desired  to  present  facts  and  figures  under  oath 
if  required,  which  were  being  prepared  to  show  the  operation  of  the  pro- 
posed order  on  the  revenue  of  the  company. 

The  order  determining  water  rates  for  the  year  commencing  July  1,  1889, 
was  then  finally  passed,  Supervisor  Bingham  voting  no,  and  Supervisor  Pilster 
being  absent.  The  order  was  then  submitted  to  and  approved  by  His  Honor 
Mayor  Pond  on  the  same  date.  The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  order:

of  Supervisors  thereof,  setting  forth  that  Order  No.  2,037,  establishing  water 
rates  for  the  year  commencing  July  1,  1889,  was  unjust  and  unreasonable,  and 
will  deprive  the  stockholders  of  the  income  they  should  have  from  tha  capital 
invested,  and  that  the  said  order  was  passed  before  the  company's  represen- 
tatives were  given  any  opportunity  to  protest  or  be  heard  as  to  the  effect  of 
said  order.  Also  requesting  that  said  order  be  declared  null  and  void,  and 
that  a  mandatory  writ  be  issued  requiring  the  Board  of  Supervisors  to  fix 
water  rates  for  said  year,  so  that  in  the  aggregate  the  compensation  for  the 
services  rendered  will  yield  a  sufficient  annual  income  to  the  company  to 
enable  it  to  pay  the  interest  on  its  indebtedness,  its  running  expenses,  taxes 
and  a  dividend  to  its  stockholders  of  not  less  than  seven  per  cent,  per  annum 
upon  the  face  value  of  their  stock. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  complaint  in  said  suit,  which  was  sworn  to 
by  Charles  Webb  Howard,  President  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works. 

THE  SPRING  VALLEy  WATER  WORKS,

III.  That  David  Barry,  Diedrich  Becker,  Henry  Bingham,  Colin  M.  Boyd,  Charles  S.  Bush, 
Levi  R.  Ellert,  Vincent  Kingwell,  Patrick  Noble,  Joseph  Pescia,  Henry  Pilster  and  Peter  Wheelan,

Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  members  of  and  constituting  the  Board  of 
Supervisors  of  said  city  and  county,  except  that  James  M.  McDonald  was  also,  at  the  same  time  with 
said  other  persons 'above  named,  duly  and  regularly  elected  a  Supervisor  of  said  city  and  county  and 
a  member  of  the  said  Board  of  Supervisors  thereof,  and  regularly  qualified  as  such,  and  afterward 
and  prior  to  the  7th  day  of  February,  1889,  the  said  McDonald  resigned  his  said  office,  and  no  other 
person  has  ever  been  appointed  or  acted  in  his  place  as  such  Supervisor. 

IV.  That  the  said  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  has  been  during  all  the  time  aforesaid,  and 
still  continues  to  be,  a  consumer  of  water  furnished  by  the  said  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  plaintiff 
herein,  and  a  rate-payer  of  the  said  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  and  derives  its  supply  of  water 
from  pipes  connecting  with  the  mains  of  the  plaintiff  herein  and  extending  into  the  houses,  build- 
ings, hydrants  and  parks  occupied  or  used  by  said  city  and  county. 

V.  That  the  purpose  of  the  incorporation  of  the  said  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  plaintiff 
herein,  was  and  is  to  supply  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  and  the  inhabitants  thereof  with 
pure,  fresh  water  ;  that  the  plaintiff  has  a  franchise  for  that  purpose,  although  it  is  not  and  never 
has  been  an  exclusive  franchise,  and  does  not  constitute  and  has  never  constituted  a  monopoly  of 
the  right  of  furnishing  fresh  water  to  said  city  and  county  or  its  inhabitants  ;   that  for  many  years 
last  past  the  plaintiff  has  been  and  is  now  supplying  more  than  nine-tenths  of  all  the  fresh  water 
consumed  by  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants,  and  that  during  said  period  no  other  person 
or  corporation  has  been  or  is  now  engaged  to  any  considerable  extent  in  furnishing  fresh  water  to 


244  WATEE   BATES. 


said  city  and  county  or  its  inhabitants,  and  that  there  are  no  water  works,  except  that  owned  by  the 
plaintiff  herein,  capable  of  supplying  said  city  and  county,  or  its  inhabitants,  or  any  considerable 
part  thereof,  with  pure,  fresh  water,  and  that  there  are  no  public  water  works  in  said  city  and 
county. 

VI.  That  in  order  to  carry  out  the  purpose  of  its  incorporation,  that  is  to  say,  to  supply  the 
City  aud  County  of  San  Francisco  and  the  inhabitants  thereof  with  pure,  fresh  water,  the  plaintiff 
has,  since  the  date  of  its  incorporation,  acquired  reservoir  sites,  has  built  reservoirs,  has  obtained 
riparian  rights  and  other  rights  necessary  to  secure  the  absolute  ownership  of  the  water  caught  and 
impounded  in  its  reservoirs,  has  purchased  Iarg3  tracts  of  land  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  an 
adequate  supply  of  pure,  freph  water,  has  constructed  aqueducts  and  pumping  and  other  works,  and 
laid  many  miles  of  water  p'.pe  for  distributing  water  to  its  consumers ;  and  that  its  aforesaid   lands 
water  rights,  works,  buildings  and  improvements  necessary  to  enable  it  to  fulfill  the  said  purposes  of 
its  incorporation,  are  of  great  value,  to  wit,  of  a  value  exceeding  $25,000,000. 

VII.  That  the  plaintiff,  on  and  before  the  1st  day  of  January,  1889,  had  projected,  an!  has  now 
in  course  of  construction,  large  additions  to  its  works  and  improvements  necessary  to  meet  the  in- 
creased and  increasing  demand  of  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  for  water,  resulting  from 
the  rapid  growth  of  said  city  and  county,  and  that,  in  order  to  meet  the  expense  and  pay  the  cost  of 
the  said  additions  to  its  works  and  improvements,  it  will  be  necessary  for  the  plaintiff  to  lay  out  and 
expend  during  the  year  ending  June  30,  1890,  very  large  sums  of  money,  amounting  in  the  aggre- 
gate to  more  thau  .$1,500,000. 

VIII.  That  in  order  to  procure  the  funds  necessary  in  acquiring  water  rights  and  other  rights 
and  in  constructing  its  works  and  improvements  essential  to  the  purposes  of  its  incorporation,  the 
plaintiff  has,  during  the  past  fourteen  years,  been  compelled  to  borrow,  and  has  borrowed,  in  addi- 
tion to  funds  furnished  by  its  stockholders,  very  large  sums  of  money,  amounting  in  the  aggregate 
to  more  than  $9,600,000;   that  it  has  now  an  aggregate  interest-bearing  indebtedness,  secured  by 
mortgage  on  its  property,  of  $9,000,000,  and  that  the  interest  upon  its  said  mortgage  indebtedness 
and  other  indebtedness  which  will  accrue  and  will  be  necessary  to  be  paid  during  the  year  ending 
June  30,  1890,  will  amount  in  the  aggregate  to  not  less  than  $4y8,000. 

IX.  And  plaintiff  alleges  upon  and  according  to  its  best  information  and  belief,  that  during 
the  year  ending  June  30,  1890,  the  operating  expenses  of  plaintiff  which  must  be  actually  and  neces- 
sarily incurred  in  operating  its  works  and  carrying  on  its  business  of  furnishing  pure,  fresh  water  to 
the  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  will  amount  to  the  sum  of  at  least  §390,000. 

X.  And  plaintiff  alleges,  upon  and  according  to  its  best  information  and  belief,  that  during  the 
said  year  ending  June  30,  1890,  and  before  the  expiration  thereof,  the  plaintiff  will  he  compelled  to 
pay  at  least  the  sum  of  $70,600  as  State,  and  city  and  county,  and  county  taxes  levied  upon  its 
property. 

XI.  That  the  amount  of  the  capital  stock  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  plaintiff  herein, 
is  $10,OOD,000,  and  that  the  same  is  divided  into  one  hundred  thousand  shares,  and  is  owned  and 
held  by  more  than  eleven  hundred  shareholders  ;  that  for  a  long  time  prior  to  February,  1889,  the 
actual  market  value  of  the  said  shaies  of  said  stock  was  equal  to,  or  above,  the  par  or  face  value 
thereof,  to  wit.  $100  per  share,  and  the  said  stock  was  in  great  demand  as  a  subject  of  investment  by 
persons  who  have  charge  of  trust  estates,  and  by  persons  of  moderate  means  desiring  a  safe  and 
steady  income  ;  that,  but  for  the  pretended  ordinance  or  order  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  said 
city  and  county  hereinafter  mentioned,  the  actual  market  value  of  the  said  stock  would  now  be  at 
least  $100  per  share  ;  that  the  usual  rate  of  annual  income  or  interest  realized  in  the  city  and  county 
of  San  Francisco,  for  permanent  investments  in  dividend-paying  stocks  of  the  character  of  the  stock 
of  the  said  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  is  not  less  than  seven  per  cent,  upon  the  par  value  of  such 
stocks,  and  that  the  holders  of  the  stock  of  the  said  Spring  Valley  Water   Works  are  justly  and 
reasonably  entitled  to  receive  in  dividends  upon  their  said  stock,  not  less  than  seven  per  cent,  per 
annum  upon  the  par  value  of  said  stock. 

XII.  That  the  plaintiff  is  entitled  to  have  its  rates  for  supplying  fresh  water  to  the  city  and 
county  of  San  Francisco  and  its  inhabitants  so  fixed  that  it  may  receive  therefrom  a  reasonable  and 
just  compensation  for  the  service  rendered,  and  that  if  so  fixed  its  aggregate  aunual  income  from 
such  rates  would  be  sufficient  to  pay  the  interest  on  its  indebtedness,  the  taxes  upon  its  property, 
and  its  operating  and  other  fixed  expenses,  and  to  pay  dividends  to  its  stockholders  amounting  to  at 
least  7  per  cent,  upon  the  par  value  of  their  stock,  and  that  to  this  end  it  was  and  is  entitled  to  have 
its  rates  for  the  year  commencing  July  1,  1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  so  fixed  and  established 
that  its  gross  income  for  said  year  will  amount  to  at  least  $1,670,000. 


WATEK  BATES.  245 


XIII.  That  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  California, 
entitled,  "An  Act  to  enable  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  Town  Counsil,  Board  of  A'dermen,  or   other 
legislative  body  of  any  c'.ty  and  cjun'y,  city  or  towa,  to  obba'n  dita  and  information  from  any  cor- 
poration, company  or  person  supplying  watar  to  suah  city  aud  county,  city  or  tow.i,  requiring  sush 
Boards,  Town  Council,  or  other  legislative  body  to  perform  the  duties  pressribed  by  Sjction  1  of 
Article  XLV  of  the  Constitution,  and  prescribing  p3nalties  for  the  non-performance  of  such  duties," 
approved  March  7,  1881,  the  Board  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  defendant 
herein,  on  December  3,  1888,  duly  adjpted  an  ordinance  requiring  the  plaintiff  to  furnish  to  such 
Board,  in  the  month  of  January,  A.  D.  1839,  the  detailed  and  verified  statemsnt  provided  for  in 
Section  2  of  said  Act ;  that  thereafter,  or.  the  31st  day  of  January,  1333,  pursuant  to  and  in  compli- 
ance with  the  requirements  of  said  Act  of  the  Legislature  and  of  said  ordinanoe,  th?  plaintiff  fur- 
nished said  Board  of  Supervisors,  defendant,  and  filed  with  the  Clerk  thereof  a  detailed  statement, 
verified  by  the  oath  of  the  President  and  Secretary  of  the  plaintiff,  showing  the  name  of  each  water 
rate-payer,  his  or  her  place  of  residenca,  th3  amount  paid  by  ea^h  such  water  rate-payer  during   the 
year  preceding  the  date  of  such  payment,  and  also  showing  all  revenue  derived  by  said  plaintiff 
from  all  sources  during  said  year,  and  an  itemized  statement  of  expenditures  made  by  plaintiff  for 
supplying  water  during  said  time. 

That  from  said  statament  it  appeared,  and  so  the  fact  is,  that  the  receipts  and  expenditures 
made  by  the  plaintiff  from  furnishing  and  for  suppljing  water  during  said  time  ware  as  follows,  viz.: 
Receipts— From  water  rates,  $1,4^1,75139;  from  other  sources,  $12,49325;  total,  $1,434,243  64, 
Disbursements— For  operating  expenses,  $351,653  65  ;  for  interest,  $443,257  83  ;  for  taxes,  $70,624  43; 
for  dividends,  $600,003  ;  total,  $1,473,535  93.  BoAanca-Expanditures  over  reseiyts,  $41,235  26. 

That  eversin^e  thepa3sa33  of  said  Aci  of  the  Lagislaiure  above  mentioned  and  referred  to 
the  plaintiff  has  complied  in  every  respeot  with  all  the  requirements  thereof. 

XIV.  That  under  the  Constitution  and  laws  of  the  State  of  California  it  became  and  was  the 
duty  of  the  Board  of  Suparvisors  of  said  city  and  county,  during  the  montn  of   February,   1889,   to 
fix  and  prescribe  reasonable  and  just  rates  for  supplying  fresh  water  to  said  city  and  county  aud  its 
inhabitants  for  the  year  com aiencing  July  1, 1839,   and  ending  June  30,  1890,  after  acojrding  due 
notice  and  an  opportunity  to  be  heard  to  the  plaintiff  and  other  persons  interested  ;  but  that  said 
Board  of  Supervisors  did  not,  during  said  month  of  February,  1889,  so  fix  and  prescribe  said  rates 
for  said  year,  and  have  not  at  any  time  lawfully  or  duly  fixed  or  prescribed  any  rates  whatever  for 
supplying  fresh  water  to  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  during  said  year.    That  on  the 
28th  day  of  February,  1833,  the  said  Board  of  Supervises  assumed  and  pretended  to  pass  a  certain 
pretended  ord.nance  or  order  purporting  to  fix  the  maximum  rates  to  be  charged  for  furnishing 
fresh  water  to  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  for  the  said  year  com  jaenclng  July  1,  1883, 
and  ending  June  3),  1833,  a  full  and  true  copy  of  wlibh  said  ordinanse  or  order  is  hereto  annexed, 
marked  Exhibit  "A,"  and  made  a  part  of  this  complaint. 

XV.  That  the  said  ordinance  or  oiMer  purports  to  fix  the  rates  to  be  charged  for  supplying 
fresh  water  to  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  for  said  year  ;  but  that  the  same  is,  in  fact, 
null  and  void  and  of  no  effect,  and  that  the  rates  pretended  thereby  to  be  fixed  are  wholly  illegal 
and  unauthorized  ;  that  the  said  ordirance  or  order  was  passed,  or  pretended  to  be  passed,  without 
any  notice  or  opportunity  to  be  heard  against  it  on  the  part  of  the  plaintiff  or  other  person  inter- 
ested; that  said  order  was  first  introduced  in  said  Board  of  Supervisors  without  any  previous  notice 
to  plaintiff  or  hearing  accorded  to  plaintiff  with  reference  to  the  subject-matter  thereof,  at  a  meet- 
ing of  said  Board  of  Supervisors  held  on  the  21st  day  of  February,  A.  D.,  1889,  and  was  thereafter 
called  up  for  final  passage  at  a  meeting  of  said  Board  of  Supervisors  held  on  the  23th  day  of  Febru- 
ary, A.  D.,  1889;  that  the  first  information  which  the  plaintiff  received  thereof  was  through  the 
public  newspapers,  and  on  said  21st  day  of  February,  and  that  the  first  opportunity  which  the  plain- 
tiff had  to  object  to  said  order,  or  to  offer  to  introduce  evidence  before  said  Board  of  Supervisors, 
showing  that  said  order  was  unreasonable  and  unjust,  was  at  said  meeting  of  February  28th.  A.  D., 
1889;  that  at  said  meeting,  and  at  the  first  opportunity;  and  before  the  passage  of  said  oider,  the 
plaintiff  offered  to  produce  and  introduce  evidence  and  testimony  before  said  Board,  showing  that 
said  order  was  unreasonable  and  unjust,  in  that  it  would  not  allow  the  plaintiff  to  collect  sufficient 
revenue  to  pay  its  necessary  opsrating  expenses,  interest  on  its  indebtedness  and  taxes,  but  that  the 
said  Board  of  Supervisors  would  not  and  did  not  allow  the  plaintiff  to  introduce,  and  refused  to 
hear  evidence  offered  by  the  said  plaintiff,  to  show  that  the  said  ordinance  or  order  was,  and  that 
the  rates  pretended  to  be  fixed  thereby,  were  unreasonable,  unjust  and  oppressive,  and  refused  to 
allow,  aud  did  rot  allow,  any  evidence  whatever  to  be  introduced  respecting  the  reasonableness  and 
justice  of  the  said  ordinance  or  order,  and  of  the  rates  purporting  to  be  fixed  thereby,  but  immedi- 


246  WATER  KA.TES. 


ately  passed  and  adopted  said  order,  without  giving  the  plaintiff  any  opportunity  to  be  heard  what- 
ever; that  the  rates  purporting  to  be  fixed  by  said  ordinance  or  order  were  fixed  arbitrarily  at  ran- 
dom, and  by  mere  guess  work,  without  any  consideration  of  or  regard  to  the  right  of  the  plaintiff  to 
a  reasonable  compensation  for  supplying  water  to  the  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants,  or  to 
a  reasonable  income,  or  any  income  upon  its  investment,  and  without  any  consideration  of,  or  regard 
to  the  value  of  the  plaintiff's  works  aud  property,  or  the  amount  of  its  interest  bearing  indebtedness, 
and  the  annual  interest  charged  thereon,  or  its  operating  expenses,  or  the  amount  of  taxes  which  it 
would  be  required  to  pay,  or  the  right  of  the  plaintiff's  stockholders  to  reasonable  or  any  dividends 
upon  their  stock,  and  without  any  reference  to  or  consideration  of  the  actual  cost  of  supplying  said 
water,  but  in  total  disregard  of  all  such  matters,  and  that  in  the  passage,  or  pretended  passage  of 
said  ordinance  or  order,  the  said  Board  of  Supervisors  acted  wholly  without  jurisdiction,  power  or 
authority  and  in  excess  of  their  lawful  jurisdiction,  power  or  authority. 

XVI.  That  the  said  ordinance  or  order  is  and  the  rates  purporting  to  be  prescribed  and  fixed 
thereby,  are  grossly  unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive;  that  said  rates  do  not  permit  of,  nor  pro- 
vide for  a  just  or  fair  or  reasonable  compensation  for  the  water  to  be  supplied  during  said  year  by 
this  plaintiff  to  said  city  and  county  and  to  the  inhabitants  thereof ;   and  that  if  said  ordinance  or 
order  is  enforced,  and  if  the  plaintiff  is  prevented  irom  charging  and  collecting  any  other  or  greater 
rates  than  those  prescribed,  its  gross  income  from  the  said  rates  for  the  year  commencing  July  1 , 
1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  will  not  and  cannot  possibly  exceed  th«  sum  of  ¥750,000,  and  will  be 
wholly  insufficient  to  pay  the  interest  on  the  plaintiff's  indebtedness,  its  operating  expanses  and 
taxes;  and  not  only  will  not  and  cannot  yield  any  dividend  to  its  stockholders,  but  will  render  it 
necessary  to  levy  heavy  assessments  upon  said  stockholders  to  pay  said  interest,  expenses  and  taxes. 

XVII.  That  the  said  ordinance  or  order  was  not  duly  or  lawfully  passed  in  this  :  that, whereas, 
the  statute  in  that  case  made  and  provided  requires  that  any  such  ordinance,  after  being  passed  to 
print,  and  before  its  final  passage,  shall  be  published,  with  the  ayes  and  nays  thereon,  for  five  suc- 
cessive days  in  u  daily  newspaper  ;  the  said  ordinance  or  order  was  not  so  published,  but  after  being 
passed  to  print,  and  before  its  final  passage,  was  published  in  a  certain  daily  newspaper,  to  wit,  the 
San  Francisco  Daily  Report,  only  three  successive  days  at  one  time  and  three  successive  days  at 
another  and  different  time— that  is  to  say,  on  February  21st,  22d  and  23d,  1889,  and  again  on  Febru- 
ary 25th,  26th  and  27th,  1839,  and  the  same  was  not  published  in  any  paper  whatever  ou  February 
24th,  1889. 

XVIII.  That  said  ordinance  or  order  is  invalid  also  in  this  :  that  it  does  not  absolutely  fix  the 
rates  to  be  paid  by  consumers  of  water,  as  required  by  law,  but  allows  every  consumer  to  elect  what 
rate  he  will  pay,  by  permitting  him  to  require  a  water  meter  to  be  placed  upon  his  premises,  and  to 
pay  according  to  ineter  rates,  if  he  so  elects. 

XIX.  That  said  ordinance  or  order  imposes  an  unjust  and  unreasonable  and  excessive  burden 
upon  this  plaintiff  in  this,  that  it  requires  plaintiff  to  furnish  and  place  a  meter  to  register  the  water 
supplied  by  plaintiff  to  any  consumer  or  rate-payer  owning  or  occupying  a  house,  upon  notification 
from  such  consumer  or  rate-payer  that  he  desires  to  pay  by  meter  rates  ;  that  the  cost  and  expense 
necessarily  incurred  in  so  furnishing  and  placing  a  meter  amounts  to  a  sum  not  less  than  fifteen 
do.lars  for  each  of  such  meters  ;  that  the  number  of  consumers  and  rate-payers  who,  under  the  pro- 
visions of  said  ordinance  or  order,  would  have  the  right  to  demand  meters  from  the  plaintiff  exceeds 
29,850;  that  the  number  of  meters  now  on  hand  and  in  use  by  plaintiff  is  12.298;   and  the  cost  of 
furnishing  and  placing  additional  meters  sufficient  to  supply  all  consumers  and  rate-payers  who, 
under  the  provisions  of  said  ordinance  or  order  would  have  the  right  to  demand  the  same  from  this 
plaintiff,  would  exceed  the  sum  of  $250,000. 

XX.  That  by  the  passage,  or  pretended  passage,  of  said  ordinance  or  order,  the  plaintiff's  credit 
has  been  much  impaired,  and  the  market  value  of  its  property  and  the  shares  of  its  capital  stock 
has  been  greatly  depreciated  ;  that  if  the  said  ordinance  or  order  is  enforced  it  will  greatly  impair, 
if  not  entirely  destroy,  the  plaintiff's  credit  as  well  as  the  value  of  its  property  and  of  its  capital 
stock,  and  will  prevent  plaintiff  from  constructing  and  completing  the  work  necessary  to  secure 
to  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  an  adequate  supply  of  pure  fresh  water ;  and  that  the 
said  ordinance  or  order  operates  and  will  operate  to  take  away  the  plaintiff's  property  without  due 
process  of  law,  and  to  deprive  plaintiff  of  the  equal  protection  of  the  laws. 

XXI.  That  the  said  city  and  county  and  the  said  Board  of  Supervisors,  and  the  individual 
members  of  said  Board,  have  threatened  and  are  threatening  and  declaring  their  purpose  to  enforce 
he  said  ordinance  or  order,  and  to  prevent  the  plaintiff  from  collecting  any  other  rates  for  supply- 


WATER  RATES.  247 


Ing  water  than  those  prescribed,  and  to  cause  proceedings  to  be  instituted  for  the  forfeiture  of  the 
plaintiff's  franchise  and  works  to  the  said  city  and  county,  if  the  plaintiff  shall  fail  and  refuse  to  obey 
the  said  ordinance  or  order,  or  to  conform  to  the  rates  therein  prescribed,  and  that  they  will,  unless 
restrained  by  this  Court,  enforce  the  said  ordinance  or  order,  and  the  rates  thereby  fixed,  and  will 
in  case  of  the  plaintiff's  disobedieuce,  cause  said  proceedings  for  the  forfeiture  of  their  franchise  and 
works  to  be  instituted,  and  the  plaintiff  will  thereby  be  subjected_to  ana  harassed  by  a  multiplicity 
of  suits  acd  proceedings,  to  its  irreparable  loss  and  damage. 

XXII.  That  the  said  city  and  county,  the  said  Board  of  Supervisors  and  the  individual  mem- 
bers thereof,  and  other  consumers  of  water  supplied  by  the  plaintiff,  deny  the  right  of  the  plaintiff 
to  collect  such  rates  for  supplying  water  to  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  as  will  afford  a 
.reasonable  compensation  for  the  service  rendered  and  as  will  yield  an  income  sufficient  to  pay  the 
interest  on  plaintiff's  debt,  its  operating  expenses  an-1  the  taxes  upon  its  property,  and  to  afford  to 
its  stockholders  dividends  upon  their  stock  at  seven  per  cent,  upon  its  face  value, 'or  any  dividends 
whatever  ;  that  they  insist  that  the  said  Board  of  Supervisors  of  said  city  and  county  has  an  unlim- 
ited discretion  and  authority  to  fix  the  rates  for  supplying  said  water  arbitrarily  and  without  regard  to 
the  cost  of  the  service  or  to  the  amount  of  capital  necessarily  employed  in  such  service,  and  that  the 
plaintiff  is  bound  to  conform  to  the  rates  fixed  by  the  said  ordinance  or  order,  for  the  year  com- 
mencing July  1,  1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  however  unreasonable,  unjust,  oppressive  and  insuffi- 
cient such  rates  may  be  ;  that  the  said  city  and  county  and  other  consumers  of  water  furnished  by 
the  plaintiff,  threaten  and  declare  that  they  will  not,  during  said  year,  pay  any  other  rates  than 
those  fixed  by  said  ordinance  or  order,  and  that  if  the  plaintiff  refuses  to  conform  to  said  rates  they 
will  harass  said  plaintiff  with  actions  for  damages  and  other  suits,  and  that  in  order  to  prevent  a 
multiplicity  of  suits  it  is  necessary  that  the  Court  should,  in  this  suit,   establish  the  rights  of  the 
plaintiff  in  the  premises  by  a  single  decree,  against  all  the  defendants  and  against  all  the  other  con- 
sumers of  water  furnished  by  the  plaintiff  in  said  city  and  county,  and  should  establish  also  some 
just  and  reasonable  basis  and  principle  of  compensation  upon  which  the  said  Board  of  Supervisors 

.shall  be  required  to  fix  the  rates  for  supplying  water  to  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  for 
the  said  year  commencing  July  1,  1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  as  well  as  for  future  years,  to  the 
end  that  the  plaintiff's  rights  may  be  forever  quieted. 

XXIII.  That  the  plaintiff  has  no  adequate  remedy  at  law  in  the  premises. 
Wherefore  the  plaintiff  prays  the  judgment  and  decree  of  this  Court : 

1.  That  the  said  pretended  ordinance  or  order  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  said  city  and 
county  is  utterly  null  and  void,  and  of  no  effect  in  law, 

2.  That  the  plaintiff  is  entitled  to  have  the  rates  for  supplying  fresh  water  to  the  city  and 
county  and  its  inhabitants  for  the  year  commencing  July  1, 1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  and  for 
other  years  so  fixed  that  they  will,  in  the  aggregate,  afford  a  reasonable  and  just  compensation  for 
the  service  rendered,  and  will  yield  a  sufficient  annual  income  to  pay  the  interest  on  its  indebted- 
ness, its  running  expenses  and  taxes,  and  to  the  plaintiff's  stockholders  a  dividend  of  not  less  than 
seven  per  cent,  per  annum  upon  the  face  value  of  their  stock. 

3.  That  the  Court  issues  its  mandatory  injunction  or  other  peremptory  process  requiring  the 
said  Board  of  Supervisors  forthwith  to  fix  the  rates  for  supplying  water  to  said  city  and  county  and 
its  inhabitants  for  the  year  commencing  July  1,  1839.  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  in  accordance  with 
the  foregoing  principles  ;  to  give  the  plaintiff  and  all  other  persons  interested  due  notice  and  an 
opportunity  to  be  heard  before  the  said  Board  prior  to  the  final  adoption  of  any  order  fixing  such  rates, 
and  to  allow  the  plaintiff  and  others  interested  to  introduce  evidence  respecting  the  reasonableness 
and  justice  of  such  proposed  order,  and  to  make,  by  their  counsel,  such  argument  upon  the  subject 
as  they  may  see  fit. 

4.  That  each  and  all  of  said  defendants  be  perpetually  enjoined  from  any  attempt  to  enforce,  or 
to  cause  tu  be  enforced,  the  said  pretended  ordinance  or  order,  or  from  bringing  or  causing  to  be 
brought  any  action  or  suit  against  the  plaintiff  in  law  or  in  equity,  to  enforce  any  forfeiture  of  the 
plaintiff's  franchise  or  works,  or  for  any  other  purpose,  for  any  refusal  or  failure  of  the  plaintiff  to 
obey  the  said  pretended  ordinance  or  order,  or  to  conform  to  the  rates  thereby  prescribed,  and  from 
any  attempt,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  compel  the  plaintiff  to  furnish  water  at  any  other  rates  than 
those  fixed  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  in  obedience  to  the  decree  and  mandate  of  this  Court. 

5.  That  the  plaintiff's  rights  in  the  premises  be  forever  quieted  against  each  and  all  of  the 
-defendants. 


248  WATER   BATES. 

6.  That  the  plaintiff  have  such  other  and  further  relief  as  to  the  Court  may  seem  meet  and 
conformable  to  equity  and  good  conscience,  together  with  the  costs  of  this  suit.

,The  Committee  on  "Water  and  Water  Supplies,  by  Supervisor  Kin^well, 
presented  the  following  report  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  h<  Id 
on  April  8,  1889,  recommending  some  action  be  taken  to  provide  as^stant 
counsel  to  defend  the  suit  brought  by  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  and 
that  the  question  of  the  necessity  for  such  action  be  referred  to  the  Judiciary 
Committee,  to  wit: 

REPORT  OF  THE  WATER  AND  WATER  SUPPLIES  COMMITTEE. 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  ; 

GENTLEMEN:  Your  Committee  on  Water  and  Water  Supplies  would  respectfully  report  that 
the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  have  instituted  a  suit  in  the  Superior  Court  versus  The  City  and 
County  of  Sau  Franciss)  and  ths  members  of  your  Honorable  Board,  for  t  ie  purpose  of  having  the 
recent  order  passed  by  your  Honorable  Board,  fixing  the  rates  to  be  collected  for  water  for  the  year 
commencing  July  1,  1889,  set  aside. 

Further,  for  the  \nterventiou  of  the  Court  to  compel  this  Board  to  establish  water  rates  on  their 
own  estimate  ot  the  valuation  of  their  works  to  afford  a  revenue  to  pay  all  expenses  of  said  com- 
pany, to  wit,  the  interest  on  its  indebtedness,  its  running  expenses  and  taxes,  also  a  dividend  to  its 
stockholders  of  not  less  than  seven  per  cent,  pei  annum  upon  the  face  value  of  their  stock. 

As  this  is  an  important  issue,  material  in  many  respects  to  our  citizen-!,  who  have  hailed  with 
pleasure  the  relief  this  order  afforded  them  from  the  exactions  of  the  company,  it  is  necessary  that 
the  case  of  the  City  and  County  should  be  ably  defended.  Your  Committee  therefore  recommend 
this  matter  be  r  ferre  I  to  the  Judiciary  Committee,  to  make  such  report  as  may  enable  this  City 
and  County  to  be  properly  and  efficiently  represented,  and  the  interests  of  our  citizens  fully  pro- 
tected in  the  premises.

nance  or  order  fixing  water  rates,  other  than  as  in  its  discretion  said  rates  have  already  been  fixed. 

8th.  That  said  complaint  does  not  state  facts  sufficient  to  constitute  a  cause  of  action  for,  or  to

Francisco  of  that  discretion  vested  in  it  by  the  Constitution  and  laws  of  the  State  of  California. 

llth.    That  said  complaint  is  ambiguous,  uncertain  and  unintelligible  in  that 

(a)  It  cannot  be  plainly  ascertained  from  paragraph  I  or  any  other  portion  of  said  com- 
plaint, whether  plaintiff  claims  to  be  incorporated  under  the  general  laws  of  the  State 

or  under  the  Act  approved  April  22,  1858,  mentioned  in  paragraph  I  of  said  complaint. 

(b)  Said  complaint  is  ambiguous  and  uncertain  in  that  it  contains  more  than  one  alleged 
cause  of  action  not  separately  stated,  to  wit: 

(1)  A  cause  of  action  against  ONE  of  the  defendants,  the  "Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City 
and  County  of  San  JTrancisco,"  to  vacate  and  annul  an  alleged  order  or  ordinance. 

(2)  A  cause  of  action  against  one  of  the  defendants,  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City 

and  County  of  San  Francisco,  for  a  mandatory  injunction  requiring  it  to  pass  an  order 
or  ordinance. 

(3)  A  cause  of  action  against  ALL  said  defendants,  quieting  plaintiff's  alleged  rights  in  the 

premises,  and  for  a  restraining  injunction. 

Wherefore  defendants  pray  to  be  hence  dismissed  with  their  costs  in  this  behalf  expended.

The  demurrer  was  argued  before  Jos.  P.  Hoge,  Judge  of  Superior  Court, 
Department  No.  4,  by  counsel  on  both  sides,  and  submitted. 

On  Jane  '20,  1889,  Jadge  Jos.  P.  Hoge  rendered  the  following  decision, 
overruling  the  city's  demurrer  to  the  complaint  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water 
Works,  holding  that  "  the  Board  has  no  power  to  fix  the  rate  of  compensa- 
tion so  low  as  to  amount  in  effect  to  confiscation  or  the  taking  of  private 
property  for  public  use  without  just  compensation,  whether  it  does  so  or  not 
in  any  given  case,  it  is  necessarily  open  to  judicial  inquiry."  The  following 
is  the  decision: 

DECISION  OF  JUDGE  HOGE,   SUPEEIOE  COUET. 


DEPARTMENT  No.  4. 
THE  SPRING  VALLEY  WATER  WORKS, 


Plaintiff, 


THE  CITY  AND   COUNTY  OF  SAN   FRANCISCO,  THE   BOARD   OF 
SUPERVISORS,  AND  BARRY,  ET  AL.,  MEMBERS  THEREOF, 

Defendants.. 

This  is  an  action  brought  by  the  corporation  plaintiff  against  the  city  and  county  of  San  Fran- 
•cisco  and  its  Board  of  Supervisors  to  restrain  the  enforcement  of  an  alleged  ordinance  fixing  the 
rate  of  compensation  to  the  plaintiff  for  the  supply  of  water  to  the  city  and  county  and  its  inhab- 
itants for  the  ensuing  year,  passed  in  pursuance  of  the  Fourteenth  Article  of  the  Constitution  and 
the  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  March  7,  1881. 

To  this  complaint  the  defendants  demur  upon  various  grounds,  resolving  themselves  sub- 
stantially into  these:  That  the  Court  has  no  jurisdiction  of  the  subject  of  the  action  and  that  the 
•^complaint  does  not  state  facts  sufficient  to  constitute  a  cause  of  action  against  the  defendants. 

There  are  some  other  objections  to  the  relief  asked  which  I  do  not  consider  it  necessary  to  pass 
upon  in  the  present  stage  of  the  case  and  which  will  more  properly  arise  hereafter. 

The  case  presents  itself  upon  the  complaint  and  the  demurrer.  The  complaint,  among  other  things, 
alleges  the  incorporation  of  the  plaintiff  for  the  purpose  of  supplying  the  city  and  county  and  the 
inhabitants  thereof  with  pure,  fresh  water;  that  it  has  a  franchise  for  that  purpose  and  has  been 
and  is  now  and  for  many  years  supplying  more  than  nine-tenths  of  all  the  fresh  water  consumed  by 
said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants.  That  in  order  to  carry  out  the  purpose  of  its  incorporation 
it  has  acquired  vast  properties,  consisting  of  reservoirs,  water  rights,  lands, works,  aqueducts,  buildings 
and  improvements,  etc.,  necessary  to  enable  it  to  fulfill  the  purposes  of  its  incorporation  of  a  value  ex- 
ceeding $25,000,000,  that  it  has  now  an  aggregate  interest  bearing  indebtedness  incurred  for  these  pur- 
poses of  $3,00^,000,  secured  by  mortgage  upon  its  property,  upon  which  interest  wili  be  due  in  the  year 
of  not  less  than  $498,000;  that  its  necessary  operating  expenses  will  amount  to  at  least  §390,003,  and  its 
taxes  to  about  $70,600;  that  its  capital  stock  is  $10,000,000;  that  the  ordinance  was  passed  without 
any  notice  or  opportunity  to  be  heard  on  the  part  of  the  plaintiff  or  other  person  interested  that 
the  first  opportunity  which  the  plaintiff  had  to  object  to  said  order,  or  to  offer  or  introduce  any 
evidence  before  the  Board  showing  that  said  order  was  unreasonable  and  unjust  was  at  the  meeting 
of  the  Board  on  the  28th  of  February,  1889;  that  at  said  meeting  and  before  the  passage  of  said 
order  the  plaintiff  offered  to  introduce  evidence  and  testimony  before  the  Board,  showing  that  said 
order  was  unreasonable  and  unjust,  in  that  it  would  not  allow  the  plaintiff  to  collect  sufficient 
revenue  to  pay  its  necessary  operating  expenses,  interest  on  its  indebtedness  and  taxes,  but  that  the 
Board  refused  to  allow  such  evidence  to  be  produced  and  refused  to  hear  it  or  any  evidence  whatever 
of  the  reasonableness  and  justice  of  the  rates  to  be  fixed,  but  immediately  passed  and  adopted  the  or- 
der without  giving  the  plaintiff  any  opportunity  to  be  heard  whatever;  that  the  rates  were  fixed  arbi- 
trarily at  random,  and  by  mere  guesswork,  without  any  consideration  of,  or  regard  to,  the  plaintiff's 
right  to  a  reasonable  compensation  for  the  water  supplied,  and  without  any  regard  to  its  income, 
its  indebtedness,  the  value  of  its  property,  the  amount  of  its  taxes  or  the  actual  cost  of  supplying 
the  water,  but  in  total  disregard  of  all  such  matters;  that  the  rates  prescribed  and  fixed  by  said  ordi- 
nance or  order  are  grossly  unjust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive;  that  said  rates  do  not  provide  a  fair. 


252  WATER  KATES. 


just  or  reasonable  compensation  for  the  water  to  be  supplied  during  the  year  by  this  plaintiff,  and 
if  enforced  the  gross  income  from  said  rates  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1890,  will  be  wholly  insuffi- 
cient to  pay  the  interest  on  the  plaintiff's  indebtedness,  its  operating  expenses  and  taxes,  and  not 
only  will  not  and  cannot  yield  any  dividend  to  its  stockholders,  but  will  render  it  necessary  to  levy 
heavy  assessments  upon  said  stockholders  to  pay  said  interest,  expenses  and  taxes. 

These  are  substantially  the  allegations  of  the  complaint  necessary  to  be  noticed  at  present,  in 
the  view  which  I  take  of  the  questions  raised  by  the  demurrer.  The  demurrer  admits  their  truth. 
The  case,  then,  presents  itself  upon  these  admitted  facts  and  upon  the  pleadings  alone. 

Upon  this  state  of  facts  the  defendants  interpose  the  preliminary  objection  that  this  Court  has 
no  jurisdiction  of  the  subject-matter  involved  here.  This  objection  strikes  at  the  very  foundation  of 
the  matter  and  will  first  be  considered. 

Has  this  Court  jurisdiction  of  the  parties  and  of  the  subject-matter  before  it  in  this  case  ?  As 
was  said  by  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  in  Wilcox  vs.  Jackson  (13  Peters,  511),  "  Where 
a  Court  has  jurisdiction  it  has  a  right  to  decide  every  question  which  occurs  in  the  cause;  and  whether 
its  decision  be  correct  or  otherwise,  its  judgment  until  reversed  is  regarded  as  binding  in  every  other 
court.  But  if  it  act  without  authority,  its  judgments  and  orders  are  regarded  as  nullities;  they  are 
not  voidable,  but  simply  void." 

And  so  again,  in  the  State  of  Rhode  Island  vs.  the  State  of  Massachusetts  (12  Peters,  718),. 
Mr.  Justice  Baldwin  says  : 

"  Jurisdiction  is  the  power  to  hear  and  determine  the  subject-matter  in  controversy  between 
parties  to  a  suit,  to  adjudicate  or  exercise  any  judicial  power  over  them;"  the  question  is  whether  on 
the  case  before  the  Court  their  action  is  judicial  or  extra-judicial;  with  or  without  the  authority 
of  law  to  render  a  judgment  or  decree  upon  the  rights  of  the  litigant  parties.  If  the  law  confers  the 
power  to  render  a  judgment  or  decree,  then  the  Court  has  jurisdiction;  what  shall  be  adjudged 
or  decreed  between  the  parties  and  which  is  the  right  of  the  case,  is  judicial  action,  by  hearing  and. 
determining  it." 

Now  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  plaintiff  corporation  had  a  right  to  sue  in  this  Court,  nor 
that  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  its  Board  of  Supervisors  and  its  members  might  be  sued 
in  this  Court.  This  is  clear,  for  the  Constitution  provides  (Article  XII,  Section  4)  that: 

"All  corporations  shall  have  the  right  to  sue,  and  shall  be  subject  to  be  sued  in  all  courts,  in  like, 
cases  as  natural  persons." 

The  constitutional  provision  makes  no  exception.  It  covers  municipal  corporations— for  they 
are  but  corporations— as  well  as  any  other  corporation.  Nor  can  there  be  any  question  as  to  the 
juris  liction  of  the  Court  upon  the  subject-matter  of  any  proceeding  before  it,  calling  for  the  exercise 
of  judicial  power.  The  Constitution  puts  all  such  questions  at  rest  (Article  VI,  Section  5.)  This. 
Court  has  original  jurisdiction  in  all  cas.s  in  equity,  without  restriction  or  limitation.  The  existence 
of  the  jurisdiction  and  its  exercise  in  the  given  case  are  not  to  be  confounded.  Its  jurisdiction  is 
as  wide  and  as  comprehensive  as  the  principles  of  equity,  and  reaches  all  cases  demanding  and 
entitled  to  equitable  relief.  Jurisdiction,  in  fact,  relates  to  the  power  of  the  Court,  and  not  to 
the  rights  of  parties,  as  between  themselves.  Jurisdiction  precedes  all  questions  of  rights  of  parties, 
and  is  entirely  consistent  with  a  denial  of  any  equity,  and  the  refusal  of  any  relief  to  the  party.  All 
other  questions  relate  to  the  equity  of  the  claims  involved,  and  not  to  the  power  and  jurisdiction  of 
the  Court. 

But  the  most  important  objection  made  by  the  defendants  on  this  demurrer  and  urged  by  coun- 
sel as  conclusive  against  any  relief  upbn  this  complaint,  and  in  the  nature  of  an  objection  to  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  Court,  is  this  :  That  neither  this  Court,  nor  any  other  court,  has  any  jurisdiction 
or  power  to  inquire  into  the  validity  of  the  ordinance  in  question,  or  to  restrain  its  execution,  or  to 
grant  any  relief  to  the  plaint.ff,  under  any  circumstances,  or  under  any  state  of  facts;  that  the  action 
of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  in  passing  the  ordinance  in  question,  is  conclusive  upon  all  courts,  and 
exclusive  of  any  interference  by  the  courts;  that  its  action  under  the  Constitutional  power  granted 
is  legislative,  final  and  conclusive,  and  cannot  be  questioned  by  courts  of  justice,  or  escaped,  or 
avoided,  except  by  appeal  to  the  ballot-box. 

The  argument  goes  to  this  extent,  and,  if  sound,  ends  the  case.  For  it  is,  in  short,  that  the  ordi- 
nance or  order  in  question  is  an  act  of  legislation  passed  under  a  constitutional  grant  of  power, 
having  all  the  force  and  effect  of  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  itself,  passed  under  the  constitutional 
forms,  and  beyond  the  reach,  control  or  interference  of  the  courts  of  justice  of  the  country. 

Whatever  may  be  the  true  principle  as  to  the  acts  of  the  Legislature,  a  co-ordinate  branch  of  the 
government,  I  am  not  prepared  to  assent  to  the  proposition  that  an  ordinance  of  a  municipal 
corporation  carries  the  same  conclusive  effect,  as  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  or  is  equally  beyond  the 


WATER  KA.TES,  253 

•reach  of  judicial  action,  or  that  there  is  a  total  want  of  jurisdiction  in  the  courts  over  its  subjec 
matter. 

The  proposition  of  the  defendants  here  is  that  this  Court  has  no  power  to  inquire  into  the  action 
of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  or  to  restrain  its  action;  that  it  is  legislative,  and  as  such  beyond  the 
control  of  all  courts.  I  do  not  think  this  proposition  can  be  maintained,  either  upm  principle  or 
authority.  .The  books  are  full  of  cases  where  legislative  bodies  of  cities  and  counties  have  been 
enjoined  by  the  courts  for  abuses  of  their  discretion,  and  for  acts,  although  apparently  within 
their  powers,  but  yet  in  fact  void  as  an  excess  of  power,  or  a  violation  of  trusts,  or  as  being  a  fraud- 
ulent exercise  of  power,  or  as  an  abuse  of  power,  by  reason  of  surrounding  conditions  or  extrinsic 
circumstances  rendering  the  action  unjust  or  violative  of  private  rights. 

There  would  seem  to  be  no  good  reason,  upon  principle.why  the  courts  should  not  interpose  in  a 
proper  case  to  prevent  the  enforcement  of  improper  or  unjust  action  of  such  bodies,  resulting  in 
wrong  and  irreparable  injury  to  private  rights,  whether  such  action  be  legislative,  judicial  or  admin- 
istrative. Courts  have  repeatedly  interposed  their  authority  to  prevent  the  passage  in  the  first 
instance,  by  such  bodies,  of  ordinances  or  resolutions  liable  to  legal  objection,  as  violative  of  private 
right,  and  tending  to  work  irreparable  injury.  This  the  courts  have  held  to  be  the  test  of  juris- 
diction. This  whole  question  was  thoroughly  discussed  in  the  case  of  Davis  vs.  The  Mayor  and  Com- 
monalty of  the  City  of  New  York,  reported  in  1st  Duer,  45,  et  seq.  The  case  was  a  very  important 
one,  and  was  argued  by  the  most  eminent  counsel  on  both  sides.  I  cite  from  the  opinion,  delivered 
by  a  very  able  Judge,  of  national  reputation,  Mr.  Justice  Duer.  The  learned  Justice  says  : 

"I  shall  treat  the  resolution  as  an  ordinance  or  by-law,  an*l  its  reconsideration  and  adoption 
as  properly  acts  of  legislation,  in  the  fullest  sense  in  which  the  term  legislation  can  be  justly  applied 
to  the  acts  of  a  corporate  body. 

"Making  these  concessions,  the  denial  of  the  jurisdiction  of  this  court  amounts  to  this  -that  a 
court  of  equity,  of  general  jurisdiction,  h  is  no  power  in  any  case,  or  for  any  purpose,  to  restrain  the 
legislative  action  of  a  municipal  corporation,  nor  in  any  manner  to  interfere  with  or  control  its 
legislative  discretion,  no  matter  to  what  subject  the  action  may  be  directed,  nor  how  manifest 
and  gross  the  violation  of  law,  even  of  the  provisions  of  its  own  charter  that  it  may  involve,  and  no 
matter  by  what  motives  of  fear,  partiality  or  corruption  its  discretion  may  be  governed,  nor  how 
extensive  and  irreparable  the  mischief  that,  in  the  particular  case,  may  be  certain  to  result  to  indi- 
viduals or  the  public  from  its  threatened  exercise.  I* 

"  In  justice  to  the  counsel  for  the  defendants,  it  must  be  admitted  that  they  shrank  not  from 
maintaining  the  truth  of  the  proposition  in  all  its  extent,  well  perceiving  that  the  necessity  of  their 
argument  admitted  of  no  alternative,  since  to  admit  a  single  exception  was  to  admit  the  jurisdiction 
which  they  denied. 

"  In  reply  to  a  question  put  by  the  court,  it  was  expressly  affirmed  by  one  of  the  counsel  that, 
should  the  Common  Council  attempt  by  an  ordinance  and  from  motives  manifestly  corrupt,  to 
convey,  for  a  grossly  inadequate  or  merely  nominal  consideration,  all  the  corporate  property  of  the 
•  city,  neither  this,  nor  any  other  court,  would  have  power  to  suppress,  by  an  injunction,  the  medi- 
tated fraud,  or,  when  consummated,  to  rescind  the  grant  or  punish  its  authors  or  divest  them  of 
its  fruits.  There  could  be  no  remedy,  we  were  told,  but  from  the  force  of  public  opinion  and  the 
action  of  the  people  at  an  ensuing  election;  and  all  this  upon  the  ground  that  neither  the  propriety 
nor  the  honesty  of  the  proceedings  of  a  legislative  body,  nor,  while  they  are  pending,  even  their 
legality,  can  ever  be  made  a  subject  of  judicial  inquiry. 

"This,  it  must  be  confessed,  is  a  startling  doctrine.  We  all  felt  it  to  be  so  when  announced,  and 
I  rejoice  that  we  are  now  able  to  say,  with  an  entire  conviction,  that  applied  to  a  municipal  corpora- 
tion it  is  just  as  groundless  in  law,  as  it  seems  to  us,  it  is  wrong  in  its  principle,  and  certainly  would  be 
pernicious  in  its  effect.  The  doctrine,  exactly  as  stated,  may  be  true  when  applied  to  the  Legislature 
of  the  State,  which,  as  a  co-ordinate  branch  of  the  Government,  representing  and  exercising,  in  its 
sphere,  the  sovereignty  of  the  people,  is  for  political  reasons  of  manifest  force,  wholly  exempt  in  all 
its  proceedings  from  any  legal  process  or  judicial  control;  but  the  doctrine  is  not,  nor  is  any  portion 
of  it,  true  when  applied  to  a  subordinate  municipal  body,  which,  although  clothed  to  some  extent 
with  legislative,  and  even  political  powers,  is  yet,  in  the  exercise  of  all  its  powers,  just  as  subject  to 
the  authority  and  control  of  courts  of  justice,  to  legal  process,  legal  restraint  and  legal  correction 
as  any  other  body  or  person,  natural  or  artificial.  The  supposition  that  there  exists  an  important 
distinction,  or  any  distinction  whatever,  between  a  municipal  corporation  and  any  other  corporation 
aggregate,  in  respect  to  the  powers  of  courts  of  justice  over  its  proceedings  is  entirely  gratuitous, 
and,  as  it  seems  to  me,  is  as  destitute  of  reason  as  it  certainly  is  of  authority. 

"  The  counsel  could  refer  us  to  no  case,  nor  have  we  found  any,  in  which  the  judgment  of  the 
•court  has  proceeded  upon  such  a  distinction,  nor  in  our  researches,  which  have  not  been  limited,  have 


254  WATER   KATES. 


we  been  able  to  discover  that  by  any  judge  or  jurist  the  existence  of  such  a  distinction  has  ever  been- 
asserted  or  intimated.  Were  it  otherwise— had  such  decisions  been  found  in  the  English  reports  or 
in  those  of  our  sister  States— had  it  been  proved  that  in  England  or  in  other  States  the  supposed 
distinction  is  the  established  law,  we  should  still  be  compelled  to  say  that  it  is  a  law  which  we  must 
refusft  to  follow,  for  the  plain  reason  that  it  is  directly  inconsistent  with  the  paramount  authority  of 
our  own  Constitution.  The  Constitution  of  the  State  declares  that  'all  corporations  shall  have  the 
right  to  sue  and  shall  be  subject  to  be  sued  in  all  courts  in  like  cases  as  natural  persons.'  "  [Precisely 
the  same  provision  as  ours.]  "There  is  no  exception  here  of  municipal  corporations,  and  an  excep- 
tion which  the  Constitution  has  not  made  we  have  neither  the  inclination  nor  the  power  to  make 
ourselves. 

"  A  corporation  subject  to  be  sued  is  necessarily  subject  to  every  process  or  order  that  in  the 
commencement  or  in  the  progress  of  the  suit,  may  be  necessary  to  or  be  connected  with  the  relief 
which  is  demanded.  And  the  words,  'in  the  like  cases,'  plainly  mean  for  the  like  acts  or  omissions 
and  for  the  like  reasons." 

After  much  further  reasoning  and  citation  of  authorities  bearing  upon  the  question  at  issue,  the 
learned  Judge  adds : 

' '  The  conclusion  from  these  remarks  is  that  a  court  of  equity  will  not  interfere  to  control  the 
exercise  of  a  discretionary  power,  when  the  discretion  is  legally  and  honestly  exercised,  and  it  has 
no  reason  to  believe  the  fact  is  otherwise,  but  will  interfere  whenever  it  has  grounds  for  believing 
that  its  interference  is  necessary  \o  prevent  abuse,  injustice  or  oppression,  the  violation  of  a  trust 
or  the  consummation  of  a  fraud.  It  will  interfere— and  it  is  bound  to  interfere— whenever  it  has  rea- 
son to  believe  that  those  in  whom  the  discretion  is  vested  are  prepared,  illegally,  wantonly  or  cor- 
ruptly, to  trample  upon  rights  and  sacrifice  interests  which  they  are  specially  bound  to  watch  over 
and  protect." 

This  case  was  unanimously  affirmed  by  the  Court  of  Appeals,  9  New  York.  The  proceeding  was 
against  the  members  of  the  City  Council  for  contempt  in  voting  for  the  reconsideration  and  passing 
the  ordinance,  in  defiance  of  the  injunction  issued  by  the  court,  and  they  were  held  guilty  and 
punished.  I  have  found  no  case  contravening  the  soundness  of  the  reasoning  of  the  learned  Judge 
whose  opinion  I  have  cited.  Mr.  Justice  Bosworth,  concurring,  in  the  same  case,  says,  on  page  506: 

"  But  if,  under  pretense  of  exercising  the  discretionary  powers  thus  delegated,  they  threaten, 
and  are  about  to  do  what  is  undeniably  a  gross  abuse  of  power,  to  the  injury  and  in  fraud  of  tho.ce 
for  whose  benefit  these  delegated  powers  are  to  be  exercised,  and  to  the  injury  and  in  fraud  of  the 
rights  of  individuals  and  the  public,  I  know  of  no  principle  or  case  which  precludes  the  interference 
of  the  court  to  prevent  the  threatened  injury."  [Citing  many  cases.] 

The  counsel  for  the  defendants,  in  support  ot  their  contention,  cite  and  rely  upon  the  decisions  of 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,  known  as  the  Granger  cases,  reported  in  94  TJ.  S.  Cer- 
tainly there  are  expressions  in- the  opinions  in  those  cases  tending  to  sustain  the  position  of  counsel, 
bub  later  opinions  by  the  same  Chief -Justice  seem  to  me  to  materially  qualify  the  expressions  used 
in  the  former  cases,  if  they  do  not  entirely  negative  the  inferences  drawn  from  the  generality  of  those 
expressions.  I  do  not  think  the  questions  involved  here  arose  in  either  of  the  cases  relied  upon. 
The  precise  question  raised  here  was  not  presented  in  those  cases.  The  authoritative  and  binding 
statements  and  language  of  an  opinion  depend  upon  the  facts  of  the  case  as  presented  by  the  record. 
The  language  of  the  opinion  is  to  be  construed  in  connection  with  the  question  presented  by  that 
record.  The  great  question  in  those  cases  was  as  to  the  power  of  the  Legislature  to  interfere  at  all 
in  the  regulation  of  fares,  freights  and  charges— not  its  extent,  not  its  limitations,  not  the  qualifica- 
tions of  its  exercise.  That  was  the  point  to  which  the  attention  of  the  Court  was  directed  and  was 
in  the  mind  of  the  distinguished  Chief -Justice.  This  is  apparent  from  what  he  says  himself  in  the 
subsequent  case  of  Stone  vs.  Trust  Co.  (116  U.  S.,  307): 

' '  From  what  has  thus  been  said,  it  is  not  to  be  inferred  that  this  power  of  limitation  or  regu- 
lation is  itself  without  limit.  This  power  to  regulate  is  not  a  power  to  destroy,  and  limitation  is  not 
the  equivalent  of  confiscation.  Under  pretense  of  regulating  fares  and  freights  the  State  cannot 
require  a  railroad  corporation  to  carry  persons  or  property  without  reward;  neither  can  it  do 
that  which  in  law  amounts  to  a  taking  of  private  property  for  public  use,  without  just  compensa- 
tion or  without  due  process  of  law." 

This  limitation  of  the  doctrine  announced  in  the  "  Granger  Cases  "  will  be  found  to  run  through 
all  the  later  cases  decided  by  the  Supreme  Court.  The  true  principle  governing  these  cases  is  here 
stated  in  a  nutshell:  The  State  cannot,  under  the  pretense  of  regulation,  take  private  property  for 


WATER  BATES.  255 


public  use  without  just  compensation  and  without  due  process  of  law.  These  constitutional  limita- 
tions upon  power  bind  the  State,  and,  a  fortiori,  do  they  bind  a  subordinate  tribunal  vested  with  the 
mere  power  to  fix  the  compensation  to  be  paid  for  private  property  taken  from  its  owner  and  devoted 
to  public  use  and  consumption  by  the  city  and  its  people. 

These  precise  questions  came  up  in  a  recent  case  in  the  Circuit  Court  of  the  United  States  in  Iowa, 
reported  in  the  Thirty  fifth  Federal  Reporter,  p.  866:  The  Chicago  &  Northwestern  Railway  vs. 
Day  et  al.  It  was  a  bill  to  enjoin  the  railway  commissioners  from  putting  in  force  schedules  of  rates 
prepared  by  them;  the  opinion  was  delivered  by  Judge  Brewer,  and  reviews  the  authorities  and  holds: 

"That  where  the  rates  prescribed  will  not  pay  some  compensation  to  the  owners,  then  it  is  the 
duty  of  the  courts  to  interfere  and  protect  the  companies  from  such  rates.  Compensation  implies 
three  things— payment  of  costs  of  service,  interest  on  bonds,  and  then  some  dividend.  Cost  of  service- 
implies  skilled  labor,  the  best  appliances,  keeping  of  the  roadbed,  and  the  cars  and  machinery  and 
other  appliances  in  perfect  order  and  repair.  *  *  *  The  fixed  charges  are  the 

interest  on  the  bonds.  This  must  be  paid  for,  otherwise  foreclosure  would  follow  and  the  interest 
of  the  mortgagor  swept  out  of  existence.  The  property  of  the  stockholders  cannot  be  destroyed 
any  more  than  the  property  of  the  bondholders.  Each  has  a  fixed  and  vested  interest  which  cannot 
be  taken  away." 

The  opinion  in  this  case  is  a  very  able  one,  and  reviews  all  the  questions  raised  here,  and  places 
the  powers  of  the  Legislature  and  the  limitations  upon  their  exercise  in  a  very  clear  and  convincing 
light. 

The  same  questions  came  before  the  Supreme  Court  of  Florida,  and  was  decided  a  few  months 
since,  in  the  case  of  The  Pensacola  &  Atlantic  Railroad  Company  vs.  The  State  of  Florida,  (5  Southern 
Reporter,  833).  In  this  case,  after  discussing  the  questions  and  citing  the  cases,  the  Court  say  : 

"We  have  found  no  case  which  holds  that  a  railroad  company  can  be  compelled  to  carry 
at  unremunerative  rates." 

And  the  Court  holds  that  to  fix  rates  so  low  as  hot  to  pay  operating  expenses  is  an  abuse  of  dis- 
cretion, and  amounts  to  taking  the  property  without  just  compensation. 

I  am  satisfied  of  the  soundness  of  the  principles  announced  in  these  cases,  and  it  only  remains 
to  apply  them  to  the  case  in  hand.  Under  the  pleadings  here  there  can  be  no  question  as  to  the  facts. 
According  to  the  allegations  of  the  complaint,  if  the  ordinance  in  question  is  enforced,  the  rates 
fixed  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  will  not  produce  enough  to  pay  the  interest  upon  the  plaintiff's 
bonded  indebtedness,  its  operating  expenses  and  taxes,  and  not  only  will  not  and  cannot  yield  any 
dividend  to  its  stockholders,  but  will  render  it  necessary  to  levy  heavy  assessments  upon  said  stock- 
holders to  pay  saidtuterest,  expenses  and  taxes. 

The  demurrer  admits  these  allegations  to  be  true,  and  they  must  be  so  considered  by  this  Court. 
As  early  as  1858  the  plaintiff  was  organized  as  a  corporation  for  the  purpose  of  supplying  the  city  of 
San  Francisco  and  its  citizens  with  pure,  fresh  water.  The  State  granted  it  nothing  but  its  corporate 
existence.  It  gave  it  no  property.  Under  its  power  as  a  corporation  it  acquired  large  properties, 
waters  and  appliances  of  every  description  necessary  to  enable  it  to  perform  the  purposes  of  its  in- 
corporation long  before  the  adoption  of  the  new  Constitution.  That  instrument  found  it  in  the 
possession  and  enjoyment  of  those  large  and  valuable  properties  in  its  own  right,  as  its  own 
private  property,  protected  by  law  and  the  Constitution. 

"  It  cannot  be  taken  for  public  uee  without  compensation;  it  cannot  be  taken  without  due  pro- 
cess of  law;  nor  can  it  be  subjected  to  burdens  different  from  those  laid  upon  the  property  of  indi- 
viduals under  like  circumstances." 

The  State  has  not  attempted  to  do  this  by  the  provisions  of  the  Constitution.  By  that  instru- 
ment the  Board  of  Supervisors,  in  cases  like  the  present,  is  empowered  annually  to  fix  the  compensa- 
tion to  be  paid  for  water  supplied  to  the  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants.  It  must  be  compensa- 
tion. The  Board  has  no  power  to  fix  the  rate  of  compensation  so  low  as  to  amount  in  effect  to  confis- 
cation, or  the  taking  of  private  property  for  public  use  without  just  compensation.  Whether  it  doea 
so  or  not  in  any  given  case,  it  is  necessarily  open  to  judicial  inquiry.  Here,  this  corporation,  holding 
and  owning  an  immense  property,  acquired  in  the  exercise  of  the  capacities  conferred  by  law,  and 
holding  it  under  the  same  guaranties  which  protect  the  property  of  individuals  from  spoliation,  finds 
itself  i.i  danger  of  losing  its  franchise'and  its  entire  property,  valued  at  many  millions,  unless  it  sub- 
mits to  an  alleged  compensation  which  will  not  enable  it  to  pay  its  operating  expenses,  the  interest 
on  its  bonded  debt  and  the  taxes  which  the  Government  exacts  upon  its  property;  and  we  are  told 


256  WATEE   KATES. 

that  this  state  of  things  is  beyond  the  reach  of  judicial  remedy,  and  that  no  court  has  the  power 
to  interfere. 

If  this  be  the  law,  it  will  not  ba  difficult  to  imagine  how  long  before  this  corporation  maybe  ren- 
dered bankrupt,  and  its  property,  which  by  the  law  of  its  creation  it  can  divert  to  no  other  purpose, 
be  confiscated  by  unjust  and  unreasonable  municipal  action.  I  do  not  think  that  such  is  the  law, 
-and  I  shall  not  be  the  first  to  establish  it. 

The  questions  discussed  by  counsel,  in  relation  to  the  extent  and  nature  of  the  relief  which  may 
be  granted  by  the  Court  at  the  final  hearing,  I  shall  not  pass  upon  in  the  present  stage  of  the  case. 

The  demurrer  must  be  overruled  and  the  defendants  may  have  twenty  days  to  answer;  and  it  is 
so  ordered. 

HOGE,  Judge. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  held  on  July  15,  1889,  a  com- 
munication was  received  from  the  City  and  County  Attorney  representing 
that  after  consultation  with  the  Hon.  E.  B.  Pond,  Mayor,  and  the  special 
counsel  appointed  to  defend  the  suit  brought  by  the  Spring  Valley  Water 
Works  to  set  aside  the  order  of  the  Board  fixing  water  rates,  he  deemed  it 
proper  in  the  public  interest  to  hold  a  special  meeting  of  the  Board  to  hear 
the  views  of  counsel,  and  for  instructions  as  to  the  further  proceedings  to  be 
taken,  which  was  received,  read,  and,  on  motion,  the  Board  resolved  to  hold  a 
meeting  on  Tuesday  forenoon,  July  16th,  1889,  at  10  o'clock.  The  following 
is  a  copy  of  the  Communication: 

COMMUNICATION  OF  THE  CITY  AND  COUNTY  ATTORNEY. 
OFFICE  OF  CITY  AND  COUNTY  ATTORNEY, 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  July  15, 1889. 
To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  :— After  consultation  with  the  Hon.  Mayor,  E.  B.  Pond,  and  the  Special  Counsel 
employed  by  your  honorable  Board  in  the  case  of  "The  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  vs.  The  City 
and  County  of  San  Francisco  and  the  Board  of  Supervisors,"  pending  in  Department  Four  of  our 
Superior  Court,  I  deem  it  proper  in  the  interest  of  the  public  to  request  you  to  hold  a  special  meeting 
at  such  hour  to-morrow  as  maybe  most  convenient  to  you— say  at  10  o'clock  A  M.— at  which  counsel 
may  be  permitted  to  state  their  views  upon  the  policy  of  future  proceedings  in  that  case.  After 
hearing  views  of  counsel  your  honorable  Board  will  be  asked  to  give  instructions  as  to  what  further 
proceedings  you  desire  to  be  taken  in  the  matter. 

Very  respectfully, 

GEORGE  FLOURNOY,  JR., 

City  and  County  Attorney. 

At  the  meeting  held  on  Tuesday  forenoon,  July  16,  1889,  his  Honor,  the 
Mayor,  stated  the  Board  had  met  to  hear  the  views  of  counsel  employed. 
W.  W.  Foote,  Esq.,  of  counsel,  who  was  present  at  the  meeting  with  the  City 
and  County  Attorney,  then  stated  that  he  did  not  precisely  know  what  were 
the  objects  of  the  meeting,  other  than  to  state  what  had  been  done  and  what 
it  was  proposed  to  do,  as  counsel  should  be  allowed  to  conduct  the  case 
.according  to  their  best  judgment,  unless  otherwise  directed;  also,  that  as  the 
Board  was  aware,  a  demurrer  to  the  complaint  of  the  Spring  Valley  Water 
Works  had  been  made,  elaborately  argued  and  overruled  by  the  Court;  also, 
that  the  legal  question  involved  was  whether  the  constitutional  powers  con- 


WATER   BATES.  257 

ferred  upon  the  Board  of  Supervisors  are  the  subject  of  judicial  inquiry  and 
can  be  interfered  with,  and  that  although  Judge  Hoge  had  decided  that  the 
Court  had  jurisdiction,  counsel  for  the  City  and  County  believed  the  Court's 
reasoning  and  conclusion  to  be  in  error;  also,  that  in  the  elevator  cases  the 
United  States  Supreme  Court  decided  that  the  constitutional  power  conferred 
upon  a  legislative  body  cannot  be  interfered  with  by  the  Courts,  even  if  an 
injustice  is  dono,  the  remedy  resting  with  the  people ;  also,  that  the 
counsel  for  the  City  and  County  did  not  intend  to  file  an  answer,  but  allow 
judgment  to  be  taken  on  the  decision  overruling  the  demurrer  and  then  take 
an  appeal,  and  this  course  was  to  be  pursued  to  test  the  constitutional  power 
of  the  Board. 

Further,  presented  and  read  a  telegram  from  J.  B.  Mhoon,  Esq.,  of 
counsel,  reiterating  the  views  expressed,  as  follows: 

TELEGRAM  FROM  J.  B.  MHOON,  ESQ. 

OAKLAND,  Cal.,  June  3,  1889. 

I  am  not  able  to  attend  the  consultation  in  the  Spring  Valley  case  to-day.  I  think  the  law  of 
the  case  can  be  fully  settled  by  appeal  from  the  judgment  on  the  demurrer.  If  in  our  favor  that  is 
final.  If  against  us  the  facts  can  be  settled  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  in  accord  with  the  final 
judgment  as  well  and  cheaper  than  in  a  trial.  Now,  therefore,  I  advise  that  the  city  suffer  judgment 
on  the  demurre*  and  appeal  on  the  judgment-roll. 

J.  B.  MHOON. 

On  motion  of  Supervisor  Boyd,  the  following  Eesolution  was  then 
adopted,  directing  the  special  counsel  to  conduct  the  cas'e  according  to  their 
logal  conception  of  the  proper  procedure  to  be  taken;  to  wit: 

RESOLUTION  No.  2258  (Third  Series.) 

RESOLVED,  That  in  the  judgment  of  this  Board  the  counsel  employed  to  assist  the  City  and 
County  Attorney  in  the  defense  of  the  suit  instituted  by  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  to  set 
aside  Order  No.  2037  of  this  Board  fixing  water  rates,  should  conduct  said  case  in  the  interests  of  the

This  cause  having  been  heretofore  heard  upon,  the  demurrer  of  defendants  to  plaintiff's  com.

of  June,  1889,  with  leave  to  the  defendants  to  answer  in  twenty  (20)  days  thereafter,  and  the  defend- 
ants having  failed  to  answer  the  complaint  and  their  time  for  answering  having  expired  and  the

itants thereof  for  the  year  beginning  July  1, 1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  are  grossly  unreasonable,

just  compensation  and  without  due  process  of  law. 

IT  is  FURTHER  ORDERED,  Adjudged  and  Decreed  that  said  Order  or  Ordinance  is  outside  and

enforce  any  forfeiture  of  plaintiff's  franchise  and  works,  or  for  any  other  purpose  for  or  on  account 
of  any  past  or  future  refusal  of  the  plaintiff  to  obey  said  pretended  Order  or  Ordinance,  or  to  con- 
form to  the  rates  or  any  of  them  thereby  prescribed  or  sought  to  be  prescribed,  or  from  any  attempt

Done  in  open  Court  this  19th  day  t>f  July,  A.  D,  1889. 

J.  P.  HOGE,  Judge. 


An  appeal  was  taken  by  the  City  and  County  on  the  grounds  indicated  by 
counsel,  argued  and  submitted  on  briefs  in  the  Supreme  Court  in  the  month 
of  September,  1889.  A  brief  containing  suggestions  and  citations  upon  the 
question  of  jurisdiction,  by  leave  of  the  Court  was  filed  by  Geo.  W.  Cham- 
berlain, Esq.,  as  amicus  cur  me. 

The  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  ceased  the  collection  of  water  rates  from 
consumers  on  July  1,  1889,  pending  the  litigation,  awaiting  the  action  of  the 
Supreme  Court  on  the  appeal  taken  from  the  decision  overruling  the  de- 
murrer of  the  City  and  County. 

No  collections  of  the  water  rates  fixed  for  the  fiscal  year  1889  by  the 
Board  of  Supervisors  were  made  by  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works,  the 
same  not  being  adequate,  as  asserted  by  the  company,  to  operate  and  main- 
tain their  works  and  pay  interest  on  their  indebtedness  and  dividends  on 
their  stock. 

It  is  understood,  however,  that  while  making  no  collections  of  water 
rates  that  the  company  have  received  from  parties  who  made  a  tender  thereof 
as  special  deposits,  water  rates  on  the  basis  of  the  preceding  years  rates, 
subject  to  such  allowances  as  might  be  hereafter  determined. 

The  following  is  the  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  overruling  the  demur- 
rer of  the  City  and  County,  and  sustaining  the  decision  of  Judge  Hoge  of 
Superior  Court,  Department  4.  As  determined  thereby,  it  devolves  upon  the 
Board,  after  investigation,  to  fix  and  determine  the  rates  to  be  collected 
trom  July  1,  1889,  before  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  can  make  any 
collections  for  water  supplied.

DECISION  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT  APPROVING  JUDGMENT 
OF  THE  SUPERIOR  COURT,  DEPARTMENT  4,  OVERRULING 
THE  DEMURRER  OF  THE  CITY  AND  COUNTY  OF  SAN 
FRANCISCO. 

IN  BANK.

THE  SPRING  VALLEY  WATER  WORKS, 

Respondent, 
vp. 

No.  13,411. 
THE  CITY  AND  COUNTY  OF  SAN  FRANCISCO,  ET  AL., 

Appellants. 

HELD,  affirming  the  judgment  of  the  Court  below: 

That  the  Constitution  provides  the  Board  of  Supervisors  shall  fix  the  rates  of  compensation 
for  supplying  water,  and  this  provision  means  reasonable  rates  and  just  compensation. 

That  whether  the  act  of  the  Board  in  fixing  the  rates  for  water  be  judicial,  legislative  or 
administrative,  it  is  not  above  the  control  of  the  courts  in  proper  cases. 

That  a  court  of  equity  has  no  right  to  interfere  with  and  control  in  any  case,  the  exercise  of 
a  discretionary  power  in  whomsoever  vested;  or,  in  other  words,  to  substitute  its  own  judgment 
for  that  of  the  party  in  whom  the  discretion  is  vested;  subject  to  this  limitation,  that  the  dis- 
cretion must  be  exercised  within  its  proper  limits  for  the  purposes  for  which  it  was  given  and 
from  the  motives  by  which  alone  those  who  gave  the  discretion  intended  that  its  exercise  should 
be  governed. 

That  notice  to  the  company  of  the  intention  to  fix  the  rates  is  not  required  by  the  Consti- 
tution, yet  in  the  interests  of  justice  it  was  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  notify  the  plaintiff. 


This  action  is  brought  to  set  aside  and  declare  void  an  ordinance  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of 
the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  fixing  water  rates  to  be  charged  for  water  to  be  furnished  to 
said  city  and  its  inhabitants  for  the  year  commencing  July  1,  1889. 

The  complaint,  after  alleging  the  plaintiff's  corporate  existence  and  its  object  and  purpose,  viz., 
to  furnish  water  to  said  city  and  county,  and  other  preliminary  and  technical  matters,  avers  that  it 
has  for  the  purpose  menMoned  "  constructed  aqueducts  and  pumping  and  other  works,  and  laid 
many  miles  of  water  pipe  for  distributing  water  to  its  consumers;  and  that  its  aforesaid  lands,  water 
rights,  works,  buildings  and  improvements  necessary  to  enable  it  to  fulfill  the  said  purposes  ot  its 
incorporation,  are  of  very  great  value,  to  wit:  of  a  value  exceeaing  $25,000,000."  That  it  has  pro- 
jected and  has  now  in  course  of  construction  large  additions  to  its  works  necessary  to  meet  the 
demands  of  said  city  and  its  inhabitants,  and  in  order  to  meet  the  wants  of  said  city  and  its  inhab- 
tants,  and  "  to  meet  the  expenses  and  pay  the  cost  of  the  said  additions  to  its  works  and  improve- 
ments, it  will  be  necessary  for  the  plaintiff  to  lay  out  and  expend,  during  the  year  ending  June  30, 
1890,  very  large  sums  of  money  amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  more  than  $1,500,000."  That  for  these 
purposes  it  has  borrowed  large  sums  of  money,  amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  more  than  §9,600,000, 
and  has  an  aggregate  interest-bearing  indebtedness,  secured  by  mortgage  on  its  property,  of 
$9,000,000;  that  the  interest  which  will  accrue  and  have  to  be  paid  during  the  year  ending  June  30, 
1890,  will  amount,  in  the  aggregate,  to  $498,000;  that  the  operating  expenses  of  the  plaintiff's  busi- 
ness for  said  year  will  amount  to  $390,000;  and  the  taxes  to  be  paid  by  it  will  amount  to  $70,600; 
hat  its  capital  stock  is  $10,000,000,  is  divided  into  100,000  shares  and  held  by  more  than  eleven 
hundred  shareholders;  and  that  the  holders  of  said  stock  are  reasonably  entitled  to  receive  in  divi 


WATER   BATES  261 

ends  upon  their  said  stock  not  less  than  7  per  cent  per  annum  upon  the  par  value  of  said  stock; 
that  the  plaintiff  is  entitled  to  receive  a  reasonable  and  just  compensation  for  the  services  rendered 
1 '  and  that  if  so  fixed  its  aggregate  annual  income  from  such  rates  would  be  sufficient  to  pay  the 
interest  on  its  indebtedness,  the  taxes  upon  its  property  and  its  operating  and  other  fixed  expenses, 
and  to  pay  dividends  to  its  stockholders  amounting  to  at  least  7  per  cent  upon  the  par  value  of  their 
stock,  and  that  to  this  end  it  was  and  is  entitled  to  have  its  rates  for  the  year  commencing  July  1, 
1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  so  fixed  and  established  that  its  gross  income  for  said  year  will 
amount  to  at  least  $1,670,000."  That,  as  required  by  law,  the  plaintiff  furnished  said  Boatd  of 
Supervisors  and  filed  with  the  Clerk  thereof  "a  detailed  statement,  verified  by  the  oath  of  the 
President  and  Secretary  of  the  plaintiff,  showing  the  name  of  each  water  rate-payer,  his  or  her 
place  of  residence,  the  amount  paid  by  each  such  water  rate-payer  during  the  year  preceding  the 
date  of  such  statement,  and  also  showing  all  revenue  derived  by  said  plaintiff  from  all  sources 
during  said  year,  and  an  itemized  statement  of  expenditures  made  by  plaintiff  for  supplying  water 
during  said  time. 

"  That  from  said  statement  it  appeared,  and  so  the  fact  is,  that  the  receipts  and  expenditures 
made  by  the  plaintiff  from  furnishing  and  for  supplying  water  during  said  time  were  as  follows,  viz: 
Receipts— Prom  water  rates,  $1,421,751.39;  from  other  sources,  $12,498.25.  Total,  $1,434,249.64 
Disbursements— For  operating  expenses,  $361,653.65;  for  interest,  $443,257.85;  for  taxes,  $70,624.4C; 
for  dividends,  $600,000.  Total,  $1,475,535.90.  Balance,  expenditures  over  receipts,  $41,286.26." 

The  compjaint  further  alleges  :  "That  said  Board  of  Super-visors  did  not  during  said  month  of 
February,  1889,  so  fix  and  prescribe  said  rates  for  said  year,  and  have  not  at  any  time  lawfully  or 
duly  fixed  or  prescribed  any  rates  whatever  for  supplying  fresh  water  to  said  city  and  county  and  its 
inhabitants  during  said  year ;  that  on  ths  28th  day  of  February,  1889,  the  said  Board  of  Supervisors 
assumed  and  pretended  to  pass  a  certain  pretended  ordinance  or  order,  purporting  to  fix  the  maxi- 
mum rates  to  be  charged  for  furnishing  fresh  water  to  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  for 
the  said  year  commencing  July  1,  1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  a  true  and  full  copy  of  which  said 
ordinance  or  order  is  hereto  annexed,  marked  Exhibit  A,  and  made  a  part  of  its  complaint. 

"  That  the  said  ordinance  or  order  purports  to  fix  the  rates  to  be  charged  for  supplying  fresh 
water  to  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants  for  said  year ;  but  that  the  same  is,  in  fact,  null 
and  void  and  of  no  effect,  and  that  the  rates  pretended  thereby  to  be  fixed  are  wholly  illegal  and 
unauthorized  ;  that  the  said  ordinance  or  order  was  passed,  or  pretended  to  be  passed,  without  any 
notice  or  opportunity  to  be  heard  against  it  on  the  part  of  the  plaintiff  or  other  person  interested  ; 
that  said  order  was  first  introduced  in  said  Board  of  Supervisors  without  any  previous  notice  to 
plaintiff  or  hearing  accorded  to  plaintiff  with  reference  to  the  subject-matter  thereof , at  a  meeting  o 
said  Board  of  Supervisors,  held  on  the  21st  day  of  February,  A.  D.  1889,  and  was  thereafter  called  up 
for  final  passage  at  a  meeting  of  said  Board  of  Supervisors,  held  on  the  28th  day  of  February,  A.  D. 
1889  ;  that  the  first  information  which  the  plaintiff  received  thereof  was  through  the  public  news- 
papers, and  on  said  21st  day  of  February,  and  that  the  first  opportunity  which  the  plaintiff  had  to 
object  to  said  order,  or  to  offer  t  j  introduce  evidence  before  said  Board  of  Supervisors,  showing  that 
said  order  was  unreasonable  and  unjust,  was  at  said  meeting  of  February  28th,  A.  D.  1889  ;  that  at 
said  meeting,  and  at  the  first  opportunity,  and  before  the  passage  of  said  order,  the  plaintiff  offered 
to  produce  and  introduce  evidence  and  testimony  before  said  Board  showing  that  said  order  was 
unreasonable  and  unjust,  in  that  it  would  not  allow  the  plaintiff  to  collect  sufficient  revenue  to  pay 
its  necessary  operating  expenses,  interest  on  its  indebtedness  and  taxes,  but  that  the  said  Board  of 
Supervisors  would  not  and  did  not  allow  the  plaintiff  to  introduce,  and  refused  to  hear  evidence 
offered  by  the  said  plaintiff  show  that  the  said  ordinance  or  order  was,  and  that  the  rates  pretended 
to  be  fixed  thereby  were  unreasonable,  unjust  and  oppressive,  and  refused  to  allow,  and  did  not 
allow,  any  evidence  whatever  to  be  introduced  respecting  the  reasonableness  and  justice  of  the  said 
ordinance  or  order,  and  of  the  rates  purported  to  be  fixed  thereby,  but  immediate  y  passed  and 
adopted  said  order,  without  giving  the  plaintiff  any  opportunity  to  be  heard  whatever ;  that  the 
rates  purporting  to  be  fixed  by  said  ordinance  or  order  were  fixed  arbitrarily,  at  random  and  by 
mere  guess-work,  without  any  consideration  of  or  regard  to  the  right  of  plaintiff  to  a  reas.nnble 
compensation  for  supplying  water  to  the  said  city  and  county  and  its  inhabitants,  or  to  a  reasonable 
income,  or  any  income  upon  its  investment,  and  without  any  consideration  of,  or  regard,  to  the 
value  of  the  plaintiff's  works  and  property,  or  the  amount  of  its  interest-bearing  indebtedness,  and 
the  annual  interest  charge  thereon,  or  its  operating  expenses,  or  the  amount  of  taxes  which  it 
would  be  required  to  pay,  or  the  right  of  the  plaintiff's  stockholders  to  reasonable,  or  any  dividends 


262  WATER  RATES,  j 

upon  their  stock,  and  without  any  reference  to,  or  consideration  of,  the  actual  cost  of  supplying 
said  water,  but  in  total  disregard  of  all  such  matters,  and  that  in  the  passage,  or  pretended  pass- 
age, of  said  ordinance  or  order,  the  said  Board  of  Supervisors  acted  wholly  without  jurisdiction, 
power  or  authority,  and  in  excess  of  their  lawful  jurisdiction,  power  or  authority. 

"That  the  said  ordinance  or  order  is,  and  the  rates  purporting  to  be  prescribed  and  fixed  thereby 
are  grossly  injust,  unreasonable  and  oppressive;  that  said  rates  do  not  permit  of  nor  provide  for  a 
just  or  fair  or  reasonable* compensation  for  the  water  to  be  supplied  during  said  year  by  this  plain- 
tiff to  said  city  and  county  and  the  inhabitants  thereof;  and  that  if  said  ordinance  or  order  is  en- 
forced and,  if  the  plaintiff  is  prevented  from  charging  and  collecting  any  other  or  greater  rates 
than  those  prescribed,  its  gross  income  from  the  said  rates  for  the  year  commencing  July  1, 1839, 
and  ending  June  30,  1890,  will  not  and  cannot  possibly  exceed  the  sum  of  $750,OJO;  and  it  will  be 
wholly  insufficient  to  pay  the  interest  on  the  plaintiff's  indebtedness,  its  operating  expenses  and 
taxes;  and  not  only  will  not  and  cannot  yield  any  dividend  to  its  stockholders,  but  will  reuder  it 
necessary  to  levy  heavy  assessments  upon  said  stockholders  to  pay  said  interest,  expenses  and  taxes." 

It  is  further  averred  that  the  defendants  are  about  to  enforce  said  ordinance,  that  its  passage 
has  already  impaired  the  plaintiff's  credit  and  depreciated  the  value  of  its  property  and  if  enforced 
it  will  greatly  impair,  if  not  entirely  destroy,  the  plaintiff's  credit,  as  well  as  the  value  of  its  property 
and  capital  stouk,  and  prevent  it  from  constructing  and  completing  the  work  necessary  to  supply 
water  to  the  city  and  its  inhabitants,  and  that  the  ordinance  operates  and  will  operate  to  take  away 
the  plaintiff's  property  without  due  process  of  law,  and  deprive  the  plaintiff  of  the  equal  protection 
of  the  laws,  and  that  the  plaintiff  has  no  adequate  remedy  at  law.  There  are  other  allegations  in 
the  complaint,  but  they  need  not  be  particularly  noticed. 

The  prayer  of  the  complaint  is  as  follows  : 

"Wherefore  the  plaintiff  prays  the  judgment  and  decree  of  this  Court: 

"1.  That  the  said  pretended  ordinance  or  order  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  said  city  and 
county  is  utterly  null  and  void,  and  of  no  effect  in  law. 

"2.  That  the  plaintiff  is  entitled  to  have  the  rates  for  supplying  fresh  water  to  said  city  and 
county  and  its  inhabitants  for  the  year  commencing  July  1, 1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  and 
for  other  years,  so  fixed  that  they  will,  in  the  aggregate,  afford  a  reasonable  and  just  compensation 
for  the  services  rendered,  and  will  yield  a  sufficient  annual  income  to  pay  the  interest  on  its  in- 
debtedness, its  running  expenses  and  taxes,  and  to  the  plaintiff's  stockholders  a  dividend  of  not 
less  than  7  per  cent  per  annum  upon  the  face  value  of  their  stock. 

"3.  That  the  Court  issued  its  mandatory  injunction  or  other  peremptory  process  requiring  the 
said  Board  of  Supervisors  forthwith  to  fix  the  rates  for  supplying  water  to  said  city  and  county  and 
its  inhabitants  for  the  year  commencing  July  1,  1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  in  accordance  with 
the  foregoing  principles;  to  give  plaintiff  and  all  other  persons  interested  due  notice  and  an 
opportunity  to  be  heard  before  the  said  Board  prior  to  the  final  adoption  of  any  order  fixing  such 
rates,  and  to  allow  the  plaintiff  and  others  interested  to  introduce  evidence  respecting  the  reasonable* 
ness  and  justice  of  such  proposed  order,  and  to  make,  by  their  counsel,  such  argument  upon  the 
subject  as  they  may  see  fit. 

"  4.  That  each  and  all  of  said  defendants  be  personally  enjoined  from  any  attempt  to  enforce, 
or  to  cause  to  be  enforced,  the  said  pretended  ordinance  or  order,  or  from  bringing,  or  causing  to 
be  brought,  any  action  or  suit  against  the  plaintiff  in  law  or  in  equity,  to  enforce  any  forfeiture  of 
the  plaintiff's  franchise  or  works,  or  for  any  other  purpose,  for  any  refusal  or  failure  of  the  plaintiff 
to  obey  the  said  pretended  ordinance  or  order,  or  to  conform  to  the  rates  thereby  prescribed,  and 
from  any  attempt,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  compel  the  plaintiff  to  furnish  water  at  any  other 
rates  than  those  fixed  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  in  obedience  to  the  decree  and  mandate  of  this 
Court. 

"5.  That  the  plaintiff's  rights  in  the  premises  be  forever  quieted  against  each  and  all  of  the 
defendants. 

"6.  That  the  plaintiff  have  such  other  and  further  relief  as  to  the  Court  may  seem  meet 
and  conformable  to  equity  and  good  conscience,  together  with  the  costs  of  this  suit." 


WATEK  BATES.  263 


There  was  a  demurrer  to  the  complaint,  which  was  overruled,  and  the  defendants  declining  to 
answer,  judgment  was  rendered  in  favor  of  the  plaintiff  that  the  rates  and  compensation  "  are 
grossly  unreasonable,  unjust  and  oppressive,  and  amount  to  the  taking  of  the  property  of  the 
plaintiff  for  public  use  without  just  compensation  and  without  due  process  of  law;"  that  paid 
ordinance  "is  outside  and  in  excess  of  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  as  conferred  by 
Article  XIV,  Section  1  of  the  Constitution  of  the  State  of  California,  and  not  a  compliance  with 
the  provisions  of  said  Article  and  Section,  and  is  and  ever  has  been  illegal,  unauthorized  and  void." 
It  wa  further  decreed  that  the  ordinance  be  set  aside  and  vacated,  that  the  defendants  be  enjoined 
form  enforcing  the  same,  and  that  they  be  enjoined  from  bringing  any  action  against  the 
plaintiff  to  enforce  any  forfeiture  of  its  franchise  and  works  on  account  of  any  past  or  future 
refusal  to  obey  said  pretended  ordinance,  or  to  conform  to  said  rates  or  any  of  them,  quieting 
plaintiff's  rights  in  the  premises,  and  directing  that  the  Board  of  Supervisors  proceed  forthwith  to 
fix  said  rates  and  compensation  as  provided  by  the  Constitution. 

The  appellants  have  seen  fit  to  rest  their  case  upon  the  facts  as  stated  in  the  complaint,  instead 
of  answering  and  attempting  to  show  that  the  Board  of  Supervisors  had  endeavored  to  comply 
with  the  provisions  of  the  Constitution  by  an  honest  and  fair  efforb  to  ascertain  and  fix  a  fair  and 
reasonable  rate  for  water  to  be  furnished,  the  only  question  for  us  to  determine  is  whether,  under 
the  allegations  of  the  complaint,  which  are  by  the  demurrer  admitted  to  be  true,  the  plaintiff  is 
entitled  to  any  relief.  If  so,  the  judgment  must  be  affirmed. 

The  appellants  take  the  broad  ground  that  the  Constitution  has  conferred  upon  the  Board  of 
Supervisors  the  absolute  and  exclusive  right  to  fix  water  rates,  and  that,  under  no  circumstances, 
have  the  courts  any  jurisdiction  to  interfere  with  or  control  such  authority;  while  the  respondent 
contends  that  there  is  a  limitation  on  the  power  of  the  Board  which  compels  the  Board  to  fix 
reasonable  rates  or  compensation,  and  that  whether  the  rates  or  compensation  fixed  by  such  Board 
are  reasonable  or  not  the  courts  have  the  power  and  jurisdiction  to  determine. 

The  Constitution,  Article  XIV,  provides  : 

"  SECTION  1.  The  use  of  all  water  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  regulation  and 
control  of  the  State,  in  the  manner  to  be  prescribed  by  law ;  PROVIDED,  that  the  rates  or  compen- 
sation to  be  collected  by  any  person,  company  or  corporation  of  this  State  for  the  use  of  water  sup- 
plied to  any  city  and  county,  or' city  or  town,  or  the  inhabitants  thereof,  shall  be  fixed,  annually,  by 
the  Board  of  Supervisors,  or  city  and  county,  or  city  or  town  council,  or  any  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  passed  in  the  month  of  February  of 
each  year,  and  take  effect  on  the  first  day  of  July  thereafter.  Any  Board  or  body  failing  to  pass 
the  necessary  ordinances  or  resolutions  fixing  water  rates  where  necessary,  within  such  time,  shall 
be  subject  to  peremptory  process  to  compel  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,  com- 
pany or  corporation  collecting  water  rates  in  any  city  and  county,  or  city  or  town  in  this  State- 
otherwise  than  as  so  established,  shall  forfeit  the  franchises  and  water-works  of  such  person,  com- 
pany or  corporation  of  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  county, 
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  first  point  made  as  to  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Court  below  is  that,  conceding  the  complaint 
states  a  cause  of  action,  no  jurisdiction  to  hear  and  determine  the  question  raised  thereby  is  vested 
in  the  Superior  Courts  by  the  Constitution  or  laws  of  this  State.  There  is  no  force  in  this  contention. 
If  any  cause  of  action  is  stated  in  the  complaint,  it  is  an  equitable  one,  and  of  such  cases  Superior 
Courts  are  given  jurisdiction  in  the  broadest  terms  by  the  Constitution  of  this  State.  (Constitution 
Art.  VI,  Sec.  5). 

We  pass  therefore  to  the  only  real  question  in  the  case,  viz.:  Whether  there  is  any  power  on  the 
part  of  any  court,  no  matter  how  broad  and  comprehensive  its  grant  of  jurisdiction  may  be,  to 
review,  interfere  with,  or  set  aside  the  action  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  or  whether  the  power  and 


264  WATER   RATES. 

authority  of  such  Board  is  exclusive  and  beyond  the  reach  of  the  courts  under  any  and  all  circum- 
stances. 

It  must  be  conceded  in  the  outset  that  the  use  of  water  for  sale  is  a  public  use  and  that  the 
price  at  which  it  shall  be  sold  is  a  matter  within  the  power  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  to  determine 
(Muun  vs.  Illinois,  94  U.  S.  113;  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  vs.  Schottler,  110  U.  S.,  347.)  Indeed 
this  is  not  controverted  by  the  respondent.  The  Constitution  does  not,  in  terms,  confer  upon  the 
courts  of  the  State  any  power  or  jurisdiction  to  control,  supervise,  or  set  aside,  any  action  of  the 
Board  in  respect  to  such  rates  It  may  also  be  conceded,  for  the  purposes  [of  this  case,  that  when 
the  Board  of  Supervisors  have  fairly  investigated  and  exercised  their  discretion  in  fixing  the  rates' 
the  courts  have  no  right  to  interfere,  on  the  sole  ground  that  in  the  judgment  of  the  Court  the  rate 
thus  fixed  and  determined  are  not  reasonable.  That  such  is  the  case  is  attested  by  numerous  au- 
thorities. (Nisbitt  vs.  The  Board  of  Works,  14  Eng.  Reports,  287;  Davis  vs.  Mayor  of  New  York,  1 
Duer,  451-497;  Munn  vs.  Illinois,  supra;  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  vs.  Schottler,  supra;  Chicago 
and  N.  W.  Ry.  Co.  vs.  Day,  35  Fed.  Rep.  866.) 

But  it  seems  to  us  that  this  complaint  presents  an  entirely  different  question  from  this.  The 
whole  gist  of  the  complaint  is  that  the  Board  of  Supervisors  have  not  exercised  their  judgment  or 
discretion  in  the  matter;  that  they  have  arbitrarily,  without  investigation  and  without  any  exercise 
of  judgment  or  discretion,  fixed  these  rates  without  any  reference  to  what  they  should  be,  without 
reference  either  to  the  expense  to  the  plaintiff  necessary  to  furnish  the  water  or  to  what  is  a  fair  and 
reasonable  compensation  therefor;  that  the  rates  are  so  fixed  as  to  lender  it  impossible  to  furnish 
the  water  without  loss,  and  so  low  as  to  amount  to  a  practical  confiscation  of  the  plaintiff's  property. 
If  this  be  true,  and  the  demurrer  admits  it,  a  party  whose  property  is  thus  jeopardized  should  not  be 
without  a  remedy.  If  the  action  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  was  taken  as  the  complaint  allegesi 
they  have  not  in  any  sense  complied  with  the  requirements  of  the  Constiuttion  and  their  pretended 
action  was  a  palpable  fraud  which  might  result  injuriously  either  to  the  plaintiff  or  the  city  and  its 
inhabitants  and  would  almost  certainly  work  injustice  to  one  or  the  other.  The  Constitution  does 
not  contemplate  any  such  mode  of  fixing  rates.  It  is  not  a  matter  of  guess-work  or  an  arbitrary 
fixing  of  rates  without  reference  to  the  rights  of  the  water  company  or  the  public.  When  the  Con- 
stitution provides  for  the  fixing  of  rates  or  compensation  it  means  reasonable  rates  and  just  com- 
pensation. To  fix  such  rates  and  compensation  is  the  duty  and  within  the  jurisdictien  of  the  Board 
To  fix  rates  not  reasonable  or  compensation  not  just  is  a  plain  violation  of  its  duty.  But  the  courts 
cannot,  after  the  Board  has  fully  and  fairly  investigated  and  acted,  by  fixing  what  it  believes  to  be 
reasonable  rates,  step  in  and  say  its  action  shall  be  set  aside  and  nullified  because  the  courts,  upon 
a  similar  investigation,  have  come  to  a  different  cqnciusion  as  to  the  reasonableness  of  the  rates 
fixed.  There  must  be  actual  fraud  in  fixing  the  rates,  or  they  must  be  so  palpably  and  grossly  un- 
reasonable and  unjust  as  to  amount  to  the  same  thing. 

The  right  of  the  plaintiff  to  dispose  of  the  water  collected  in  its  reservoirs,  at  reasonable  rates' 
is  the  only  value  it  has,  and  is  the  only  thing  that  can  bring  the  plaintiff  any  return  for  the  money, 
expended  for  reservoiis  for  its  storage  and  pipes  for  its  distribution.  Not  only  reservoirs,  pipes  and 
other  works  and  improvements  necessary  to  carry  out  the  objects  of  its  incorporation,  but  the  water 
tself  is  property  which  cannot  be  taken  without  just  compensation. 

The  fact  that  th  j  right  to  store  an  I  dispose  of  the  water  is  a  public  use,  subject  to  the  control  of 
the  State,  and  that  its  regulation  is  provided  for  by  the  Constitution  of  this  State,  does  not  affect 
the  question.  Regulation  as  provided  for  in  the  Constitution  does  not  mean  confiscation  or  a 
taking  without  just  compensation.  If  it  does,  then  our  Constitution  is  clearly  in  violation  of  the 
Constituton  of  the  United  States,  which  provides  that  this  shall  not  be  done. 

The  ground  taken  by  the  appellant  is  that  the  fixing  of  rates  is  a  legislative  act;  that  by  the 
terms  of  the  Constitution«the  Board  of  Supervisors  aro  made  a  part  of  the  Legislative  Department 
of  the  State  Government,  and  exclusive  power  given  to  theiii  which  cannot  be  encroached  upon 
by  the  courts.  In  other  words,  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  for  the  purpose  of  fixing  these  water- 
rates,  is  a  part  of  one  of  the  co-ordinate  and  independent  departments  of  the  State  Government,  and 
as  such  beyond  and  independent  of  any  control  by  the  Judicial  Department. 

This  Court  has  held  that  the  fixing  of  water-rates  is  a  legislative  act,  at  least  to  the  extent  tha 
the  action  ot  the  proper  bodies  clothed  with  such  power  cannot  be  controlled  by  writs  which  can 
issue  only  for  the  purpose  of  controlling  judicial  action.  (Spring  Valley  Water  Works  vs.  Bryant 
52  Gal.,  132;  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  vs.  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  Id.,  Ill;  Sprin 


WATER   BATES.  265 

Valley  Water  Works  vs.  Bartlett,  63  Id.,  245.)  There  are  other  cases  holding  the  act  to  be  legisla- 
tive, but  whether  it  is  judicial,  legislative,  or  administrative  is  immaterial-  Let  it  be  which  it  may, 
it  is  not  above  the  control  of  the  courts  in  proper  cases,  It  has  also  been  held  that  where  a  power 
is  vested  in  an  officer  of  the  State  involving  the  exercise  of  discretion  and  judgment  on  his  part, 
such  discretion  and  judgment  cannot  be  controlled  by  the  courts  by  mandamus.  (Berryman  vs- 
Perkins,  55  Gal.,  483.)  The  right  and  jurisdiction  in  this  respect  is  fully  and  accurately  stated  in 
Davis  vs.  Mayor,  etc.,  of  New  York,  4  Duer,  451-497.  as  follows:  "Notwithstanding  these  observa- 
tions the  question  still  remains,  has  tbis  Court,  or  any  Court  of  equity,  the  power  to  interfere  with 
the  legislative  discretion  of  the  Common  Council  of  this  city,  or  of  any  other  municipal  corpora- 
tion? And  to  this  question  I  at  once  reply,  certainly  not,  if  the  term  discretion  be  properly  limited 
and  understood;  and  thus  understood,  I  carry  .the  proposition  much  further  than  the  counsel  who 
advanced  it.  This  Court  has  no  right  to  interfere  with  and  control  the  exercise,  not  merely  of  the 
legislative,  but  of  any  other  discretionary  power,  that  the  law  has  vested  in  the  corporation  of  the 
city,  and  hence,  I  deem  it  quite  immaterial  whether  the  resolution  in  favor  of  Jacob  Sharp  andhis 
associate?  be  termed  a  by-law,  a  grant  or  contract,  or  whether  the  power  exercised  in  passing  it  be 
legislative,  judicial  or  executive;  for  if  the  corporation  had  the  power  of  granting  at  all  the  extraord- 
inary privileges  which  the  resolution  confers,  the  propriety  of  exercising  the  power,  and,  perhaps* 
even  the,  form  of  its  exercise,  rested  entirely  in  its  discretion.  Nor  is  this  all.  A  court  of  equity  has 
no  right  to  interfere  with  and  control  in  any  case  the  exercise  of  a  discretionary  power,  no  matter 
n  whom  it  may  be  vested,  a  corporate  body  or  individuals,  the  Aldermen  of  a  city,  the  directors  of 
a  bank,  a  trustee,  executor  or  guardian;  and  I  add  that  the  meaning  and  principle  of  the  rule,  and 
the  limitations  to  which  it  is  subject  are,  in  all  the  cases  to  which  it  applies,  exactly  the  same.  The 
meaning  and  principle  of  the  rule  are,  that  the  Court  will  not  substitute  its  own  judgment  for  that 
of  the  party  in  whom  the  discretion  is  vested,  and  thus  assume  to  itself  a  power  which  the  law  had 
given  to  another;  and  the  limitations  to  which  it  is  subject  are,  that  the  discretion  must  be  exer- 
cised, within  its  proper  limits,  for  the  purposes  for  which  it  was  given,  and  from  the  motives  by 
which  alone  those  who  gave  the  discretion  intended  that  its  exercise  should  be  governed." 

We  are  not  inclined  to  the  doctrine  asserted  by  the  appellants  in  this  case,  that  every  subordi- 
nate body  of  officers  to  whom  the  Legislature  delegates  what  may  be  regarded  as  legislative  power 
thereby  becomes  a  part  of  the  legislative  branch  of  the  State  government,  and  beyond  judicial  con 
trol. 

In  the  case  of  Davis  vs.  The  Mayor  and  Commonwealth  of  the  City  of  New  York,  supra,  it  is 
said: 

"  It  is  this  discretion,  therefore,  that  I  adopt,  and  for  the  purpose  of  this  opinion  I  shall  treat 
the  resolution  as  an  ordinance  or  by-law,  and  its  reconsideration  and  adoption  as  properly  acts  of 
legislation,  in  the  fullest  sense  in  which  the  term,  legislation,  can  be  justly  applied  to  the  acts  of  a 
corporate^  body. 

"  Making  these  concessions,  the  denial  of  the  jurisdiction  of  this  Court  amounts  to  this;  That 
a  court  of  equity,  of  general  jurisdiction,  has  no  power,  in  any  case  or  for  any  purpose,  to  restrain 
the  legislative  action  of  a  municipal  corporation,  nor  in  any  manner  to  interfere  with  or  control  its 
legislative  discretion,  no  matter  to  what  subject  the  action  may  be  directed,  nor  how  manifest  and 
gross  the  violation  of  law,  even  of  the  provisions  of  its  own  charter,  that  it  may  involve,  and  no 
matter  by  what  motives  of  fear,  partiality  or  corruption  its  discretion  may  be  governed,  nor  how 
extensive  and  irreparable  the  mischief  that,  in  the  particular  case,  may  be  certain  to  result  to  indi- 
viduals or  the  public  from  its  threatened  exercise. 

"  If  th;s  be  trae  as  a  proposition  of  law,  then  the  injunction  order  of  this  Court,  from  the  want 
of  jurisdiction  manifest  on  its  face,  was  wholly  void.  If  the  proposition  be  not  true,  the-  order  was 
valid,  and  should  be  obeyed. 

"  In  reply  to  a  question  put  by  the  Court,  it  was  expressly  affirmed  by  one  of  the  counsel,  that, 
should  the  Common  Council  attempt,  by  an  ordinance,  and  from  motives  manifestly  corrupt,  to 
convey,  for  a  gros-ly  inadequate  or  merely  nominal  consideration,  all  the  corporate  property  of  the 
city,  neither  this,  nor  any  other  Court,  would  have  the  power  to  suppress,  by  an  injunction,  the 
meditated  fraud,  or,  when  consummated,  to  rescind  the  grant,  or  punish  its  authors,  or  divest  them 
of  its  fruits.  There  could  be  no  remedy,  we  are  told,  but  from  the  force  of  public  opinion  and  the 
action  of  the  people  at  the  ensuing  election,  and  all  this  upon  the  ground  that  neither  the  propriety 


266  WATER    RATES. 

nor  the  honesty  of  the  proceedings  of  a  legislative  body,  nor,  while  they  are  pending,  even  their 
legality,  can  ever  be  made  the  subject  of  judicial  inquiry. 

"  Tais,  it  must  be  confessed,  is  a  startling  doctrine.  We  all  felt  it  to  be  so  when  announced, 
and  I  rejoice  that  we  are  now  able  to  say,  with  an  entire  conviction,  that,  applied  to  a  municipal 
corporation,  it  is  just  as  groundless  in  law,  as  it  seems  to  us,  as  it  is  wrong  in  its  principle,  and  cer- 
tainly would  be  pernicious  in  its  effects. 

"The  doctrin 3,  exactly  as  stated,  may  be  true  when  applied  to  the  Legislature  of  the  State, 
which,  as  a  co-ordinate  branch  of  the  Government  representing  and  exercising,  in  its  sphere,  the 
sovereignty  of  the  people,  is,  for  political  reasons  of  manifest  force,  wholly  exempt  in  all  its  pro- 
ceedings from  any  legal  process  or  judicial  control,  but  the  doctrine  is  not,  nor  is  any  portion  of  it, 
true  when  applied  to  a  subordinate  municipal  body,  which,  although  clothed  to  some  extent  with 
legislative  and  even  judicial  powers,  is  yet,  in  the  exercise  of  all  its  powers,  just  as  subject  to  the 
authority  and  control  of  courts  of  justice,  to  legal  process,  legal  restraint  and  legal  correction  as 
any  other  body  or  person,  natural  or  artificial. 

"The  supposition  that  there  exists  an  important  distinction,  or  any  distinction  whatever 
between  a  municipal  corporation  and  any  other  corporation  aggregate,  in  resp-ct  to  the- powers 
of  courts  of  justice  over  its  proceedings,  is  entirely  gratuitous,  and  as  it  seems  to  me,  is  as  destitute 
of  reason,  as  it  certainly  is  of  authority.  The  counsel  could  refer  us  to  no  case,  nor  have  we  found 
any  in  which  the  judgment  of  the  Court  has  proceeded  up  m  such  a  distinction,  nor  in  our 
researches,  which  have  not  been  limited,  have  we  been  able  to  discover  that,  by  any  Judge  or  jurist, 
the  existence  of  such  a  distinction  has  ever  been  asserted  or  intimated.  (Pages  494  5.) 

This  case  was  affirmed  by  the  Court  of  Appeals  of  New  York,  in  the  People  vs.  Sturtevant  (9  K 
Y.,  263),  and  the  doctrine  announced  meets  with  our  approval. 

Counsel  for  appellants  rely  mainly,  in  support  of  their  position,  on  the  decision  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  States  in  what  are  known  as  the  Granger  Cases,  the  leading  one  of  which  is 
the  case  of  Munn  vs.  Illinois  (94  U.  S,,  113).  But  while  there  may  be  some  language  used  in  the 
opinion  in  that  case  tending  to  maintain  their  contention,  there  was  no  such  question  presented  as 
we  have  here,  and  the  point  made  in  this  case  was  not  decided.  The  question  there  presented  is 
clearly  stated  by  the  learned  Chief  Justce  in  his  opinion: 

"  The  question  to  be  determined  in  this  case  is  whether  the  General  Assembly  of  Illinois  can 
under  the  limitations  upon  the  legislative  power  of  the  States  imposed  by  the  Constitution  of  the 
United  States,  fix  by  law  the  maximum  of  charges  of  the  storage  of  grain  in  warehouses  at  Chicago 
and  other  places  in  the  State  having  not  less  than  one  hundred  thousand  inhabitants,  '  in  which 
grain  is  stored  in  bulk,  and  in  which  the  grain  of  different  owners  is  mixed  together,  or  in  which 
grain  is  stored  in  such  a  manner  that  the  identity  of  different  lots  or  parcels  cannot  be  accurately 
preserved.'  "  (Page  123).  See  also  for  a  statement  of  the  questions  passed  upon  in  this  case,  Wabash, 
etc.  Railway  Company  vs.  Illinois,  118  U.  S.,  557-568. 

It  will  be  observed  from  this  statement  that  the  only  question  there  was  whether  the  power  to 
regulate  prices  rested  in  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  Illinois  at  all,  and  not  whether,  if  it  did 
«xist,  it  was  exclusive  and  beyond  judicial  inquiry  and  control. 

That  there  was  no  intention  to  decide  that  the  courts  have  no  jurisdiction  to  interfere  in  this 
olass  of  cases,  upon  a  proper  showing,  is  clearly  indicated  by  what  is  said  by  the  same  Court  in  later 
decisions  and  by  Judges  of  other  Federal  courts.  In  the  case  of  Spring  Valley  Water  Works  vs. 
Shottler  (110  U.  S.,  347),  Chief  Justice  Waite,  who  delivered  the  opinion  in  Munn  vs.  Illinois,  said 
"  That  it  i^within  the  power  of  the  Government  to  regulate  the  prices  at  which  water  shall  be  s  >ld 
by  one  who  enjoys  a  virtual  monopoly  of  the  sale,  we  do  not  doubt.  That  question  is  settled  by 
•what  was  decided  on  full  consideration  in  Munu  vs.  Illinois  (94  U.  S.,  113).  As  was  said  in  that  case 
such  regulations  do  not  deprive  a  person  of  his  property  without  due  process  of  law.  What  may  be 
done  if  the  municipal  authorities  do  not  exercise  an  honest  judgment,  or  if  they  fix  upon  a  price 
which  is  manifestly  unreasonable,  need  not  now  be  considered,  for  that  proposition  is  not  presented 
by  this  record.  The  objection  here  is  not  to  any  improper  prices  fixed  by  the  officers,  but  to  their 
power  to  fix  prices  at  all.  By  the  Constitution  and  the  legislation  under  it,  the  municipal  authori- 
ties have  been  created  as  a  special  tribunal  to  determine  what,  as  between  the  public  and  the  com- 
pany, shall  be  deemed  a  reasonable  price  during  a  certain  limited  period.  Like  every  other  tribunal 


WATEK   EATES.  267 


«stablished  by  the  Legislature  for  such  a  purpose,  their  duties  are  judicial  in  nature,  and  they  are 
bound  in  morals  and  in  law  to  exercise  an  honest  judgment  as  to  all  matters  submitted  for  tlieir 
official  determination."  (Page  351).  Again  in  Stone  vs.  Farmers'  Loan  and  Trust  Co.,  116  U.  S., 
307-331,  Chief  Justice  Waite  said : 

"  From  what  has  thus  been  said,  it  is  no1;  to  be  inferred  that  this  power  of  limitation  or  regu- 
lation is  itself  without  limit.  This  power  to  regulate  is  not  a  power  to  destroy,  and  limitation  is 
not  the  equivalent  of  confiscation.  Under  pretense  of  regulating  fares  and  freights,  the  State  can- 
not require  a  railroad  corporation  to  carry  persons  or  property  without  reward ;  neither  can  it  do 
that  which  in  law  amounts  to  a  taking  of  private  property  for  public  us^  without  just  compensation 
or  without  due  process  of  law.  What  would  have  this  effect  we  need  not  now  say,  because  no  tariff 
has  yet  be  'n  fixed  by  the  commission,  and  the  statute  of  Mississippi  expressly  provides  that  in  all 
trials  of  cases  brought  for  a  violation  of  any  tariff  of  charges,  as  fixed  by  the  Commission,  it  may  be 
shown  in  defense  that  such  tariff  sa  fixed  is  unjust."  (Page  331.)  (See,  also,  Dow  vs.  Beidelman, 
125  U.  S.,  680.) 

lu  the  case  of  Georgia  Banking  Company  vs.  Smith,  128  U.  S.,  174-179,  Mr.  Justice  Field  sums 
up  the  former  decisions  of  that  Court  as  follows: 

"  It  has  been  adjudged  by  this  Court  in  numerous  instances  that  the  Legislature  of  a  State  has 
the  power  to  prescribe  the  charges  of  a  railroad  company  for  the  carriage  of  persons  and  merchan- 
dise within  its  limits,  in  the  absence  of  any  provision  in  the  charter  of  the  company  constituting  a 
contract  vesting  in  it  authority  over  these  matters,  subject  to  the  limitation  that  the  carriage  is  not 
required  without  reward,  or  upon  conditions  amounting  to  the  taking  of  property  for  public  use 
without  just  compensation;  and  that  what  is  done  does  not  amount  to  a  regulation  of  foreign  or 
interstate  commerce."  •  (Page  179.) 

It  will  be  observed  that  in  all  the  decisions  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,  while 
the  power  of  the  State  to  regulate  these  charges  is  recognized,  the  power  is  so  limited  as  to  author- 
ize just  what  it  is  contended  should  be  done  by  the  courts  in  this  case. 

This  same  limitation  so  necessary  to  the  rights  and  property  of  corporations  and  individuals 
vested  with  a  public  use  is  fully  recognized  by  Brewer  J.,  now  one  of  the  Justices  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  States  In  Chicago  and  N.  Y.  Ry.  Co.  vs.  Dey,  35  Fed.  Rep.  866,  877.  After 
reviewing  the  Granger  Cases  and  other  cases  above  cited,  he  says  : 

"  It  is  obvious  from  these  last  quotations  that  the  mere  fact  that  the  Legislature  has  pursued 
the  forms  of  law  in  prescribing  a  schedule  of  rates  does  not  prevent  inquiry  by  the  courts;  and 
the  question  is  open,  and  must  be  decided  in  each  case,  whether  the  rates  prescribed  are  within  the 
limits  of  legislative  power,  or  mere  proceedings,  which,  in  the  end,  if  not  restraired,  will  work  a 
confiscation  of  the  property  of  the  complainant.  Of  course,  some  rule  must  exist,  fixed  and  definite, 
*o  control  the  action  of  the  courts,  for  it  cannot  be  that  a  chancellor  is  at  liberty  to  substitute  his 
discretion  as  to  the  reasonableness  of  rates  for  that  of  the  Legislature.  The  Legisltuare  has  the 
discretion,  and  the  general  rule  is  tha.t,  where  any  officer  or  Board  has  discretion,  its  acts  within  the 
traits  of  that  discretion  are  not  subject  to  review  by  the  courts.  Counsel  for  complainant  urged 
that  the  lowest  rates  the  Legislature  may  establish  must  be  such  as  will  secure  to  the  owners  of  the 
railroad  property  a  profit  on  their  investment  at  least  equal  to  the  lowest  current  rate  of  interest, 
say  3  per  cent.  Decisions  of  the  Supreme  Court  seem  to  forbid  such  a  limit  to  the  power  of  the 
Legislature  in  respect  to  that  which  they  apparently  recognize  as  a  right  of  the  owneis  of  the 
railroad  property  to  some  reward;  and  the  right  of  judicial  interference  exists  only  when  the 
schedule  of  rates  established  will  fail  to  secure  to  the  owners  of  the  property  some  compensation  or 
income  from  their  investment.  As  to  the  amount  of  such  compensation,  if  some  compensation 
or  reward  is  in  fact  secured,  the  Legislature  is  the  sole  judge."  (Page  878.)  See^  further  as 
supporting  this  view,  Pensacola  &  A.  R.  Co.  vs.  State,  5  South  Rep.  833. 

Counsel  on  both  sides  have  shown  great  industry  and  research  in  the  presentation  of  this  case » 
and  many  authorities  are  cited  bearing  more  or  less  directly  on  this  question,  but  we  cannot  extend 
this  opinion  by  noticing  or  even  citing  them  all.  We  have  cited  sufficient,  we  think,  to  sustain 
fully  our  view  that  the  Court  below  had  jurisdiction  and  that  the  complaint  presented  a  case  suffi- 
cient to  call  for  the  interposition  of  the  Court  in  the  matter.  The  conclusion  we  have  reached  on 
this  question  is  decisive  of  the  case,  but  there  are  other  points  made  and  argued  in  the  briefs  which 

proper  we  should  notice. 

the  part  of  the  appellant  it  is  contended  that  a  part  of  the  allegations  of  the  complaint 


268  WATER  BATES. 


necessary  to  make  out  a  cause  of  action  are  of  mere  conclusions  of  law  and  should  not  be  considered 
We  think,  however,  that  the  allegations  referred  to,  or  enough  of  them  to  •  entitle  the  plaintiffs  to 
the  relief  demanded,  are  well  pleaded.  There  are  other  objectious  to  the  form  of  the  complaint 
and  the  manner  of  alleging  the  facts  which  are  equally  groundless.  It  is  further  claimed  that  the 
Mayor  of  the  city  should  have  been  made  a  party,  but  we  do  not  regard  this  as  necessary. 

On  the  part  of  the  respondent  it  is  contended,  in  support  of  the  decision  of  the  Court  below , 
that  notice  to  the  plaintiff  of  an  intention  to  fix  the  rates  was  necessary,  and  that  without  such 
notice  being  given  the  action  of  the  Board  was  a  taking  of  its  property  without  due  process  of  law. 
But  the  Constitution  is  self -executing,  aud  as  it  does  not  require  notice,  we  think  no  notice  was 
necessary. 

It  does  not  follow,  however,  that  because  no  notice  is  necessary  the  Board  are  for  that  reason 
excused  from  applying  to  corporations  or  individuals  interested  to  obtain  all  information  necessary 
to  enable  it  to  act  intelligibly  and  fairly  in, fixing  the  rates.  This  is  its  plain  duty  and  a  failure  to 
make  the  proper  effort  to  procui  e  all  necessary  information  from  whatever  source  may  defeat  its 
action.  Both  the  corporation  and  the  individuals  furnishing  the  water,  as  well  as  the  public,  who 
must  pay  for  its  use,  are  entitled  to  a  careful  and  honest  effort  on  the  part  of  the  Board  to  obtain 
such  information  and  to  have  it  act  accordingly. 

It  has  been  objected  to  the  ordinance  that  it  gives  every  householder  an  option  to  require  a 
meter  upon  his  premises,  and  to  pay  for  the  water  furnished  at  meter  rates,  which  are'different  from 
the  house  rate. *_  It  is  contended  that  this  does  not  fix  the  rate,  as  the  Constitution  requires,  but  leaves 
it  indefinite  and  uncertain.  We  do  not  think  the  ordinance  is  defective  in  this  respect.  The  rates 
are  definitely  fixed,  and  the  fact  that  there  may  be  one  price  for  the  consumer  who  has  a  meter  and 
a  different  price  for  one  who  has  none,  does  not  render  the  ordinance  uncertain.  It  is  also  con- 
tended that  the  requirement  that  meters  shall  be  furnished  by  the  plaintiff  is  unreasonable,  and 
cannot  be  enforced  ;  but  we  think  otherwise.  The  requirement  that  the  party  furnishing  water 
shall  provide  the  means  necessary  for  its  measurement,  so  that  the  quantity  furnished  and  to  be 
paid  for  may  be  known,  is  not  an  unreasonable  regulation.  The  expense  of  the  meter  could  not  be 
imposed  on  the  consumer.  (Red  Star  Steamship  Co.  vs.  Jersey  City,  45  N.  J,  Law,  246.)  There  are 
other  objections  to  the  ordinance  which  we  need  not  notice  specifically.  It  is  enough  to  say  that,  in 
our  opinion,  none  of  them  are  well  taken. 

Finally,  we  are  asked  by  the  respondent  to  lay  down  some  basis  upon  which  the  Board  must 
proceed  in  fixing  rates.  But  we  do  not  feel  that  we  should  attempt  to  lay  down  such  a  rule  in 
advance.  This  must  be  left  for  the  Board  to  determine. 

Judgment  affirmed.

DUPONT  STREET  WIDENING. 


Under  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  March  24,  1876,  Dupont  street  was  widened,  between  Market 
and  Bush  streets,  to  a  uniform  width  of,  seventy-four  feet.  The  amount  required  to  pay  for  the 
various-pieces  of  property  and  improvements  condemned  was  to  be  obtained  from  the  sale  of  Dupont 
street  bonds,  which  bonds  were  to  be  redeemed  during  a  period  of  twenty  years  by  the  district  bene- 
fited, by  means  of  a  tax  fixed  each  year,  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  on  the  enhanced  value  of 
property,  as  fixed  by  the  Commission  appointed  and  as  per  their  report  confirmed  by  the  County 
Court  on  December  20,  1876. 

The  amount  of  bonds  issued  was  81,000,000,  in  fiscal  year  1876-7,  of  which  $81,000  have'  been  re- 
deemed. The  bonds  draw  interest  at  the  rate  of  seven  per  cent,  per  annum,  and  five  per  cent,  of 
the  principal  is  to  be  redeemed  each  year. 

The  amounts  levied  for  this  special  purpose  on  each  $100  valuation  of  property,  as  fixed  by  said 
Commission  at  §796,947,  have  been  as  follows : 


1877-78 $13  00 

1878-79 1500

enhanced  values  of  the  lands  within  the  district  described  in  Section  Three  (3)  of  said  Act,  between 
Bush  and  Market  streets,  as  fixed  in  the  final  report  of  the  Board  of  Dupont-street  Commissioners,

In  the  matter  of  the  widening  of  Dupont  street,  there  was  pending  in  the  Supreme  Court  a  suit, 
brought  in  the  name  of  William  Lent  (joined  with  others),  against  the  Tax  Collector  ,to  enjoin  the 
sale  of  real  estate  for  delinquent  Dupont-street  assesssment,  and  to  declare  the  assessment  void, 
which  was  submitted  on  May  1,  1885  ;  but  re-argument  was  ordered  of  the  case,  which  took  place  on 
August  16,  1886,  when  the  case  was  submitted  on  briefs  to  be  filed.  The  question  as  to  the  validit, 
of  the  proceedings  of  the  Commissioners,  and  consequently  of  the  bonds  issued  by  them,  was  pre- 
sented in  this  case  in  the  Court  below,  where  judgment  was  rendered  for  plaintiffs  some  nine 
years  ago. 

This  case  and  other  cases  of  similar  character  were  decided  by  the  Supreme  Court  on  May  31 
1887,  in  favor  of  the  constitutionality  and  legality  of  the  assessment,  and  an  application  for  a  re  - 
hearing  was  denied  by  said  Court. 

The  following  is  a  syllabus  of  the  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  affirming  the  validity  of  the 
Act  of  the  Legislature,  the  proceedings  thereunder  and  the  assessment  made  for  the  widening  of  the 
street.— [Pacific  Reporter,  Volume  XIV,  page  71.] 

LENT  AND  OTHERS  vs.  TILSON  AND  OTHERS,  No.  8540.. 
Supreme  Court  of  California.    (May  31,  1887.) 

1.  MUNICIPAL  CORPORATIONS— LOCAL  IMPROVEMENTS— SUPERVISORS. 

The  Act  of  California  of  March  23,  1876,  providing  for  the  widening  of  Dupont  street  in  the 
city  of  San  Francisco,  defining  the  district  benefited  thereby,  and  appointing  a  Board  of  Com- 
missioners to  carry  out  the  work,  and  assess  the  cost  thereof  on  the  property  benefited,  did  not 
deprive  the  Supervisors  of  the  discretion  vdth  respect  to  local  improvements  secured  to  them  by 
the  city  charter,  because  by  its  terms  it  was  not  to  go  into  operation  until  the  Board  of  Super- 
visors should  declare,  in  such  form  as  they  should  deem  advisable,  that  it  was  expedient  to 
widen  the  street  in  the  manner  proposed. 

2.  SAME— DUE  PROCESS  OF  LAW— NOTICE. 

Said  Act  does  not  conflict  with  provision  of  the  Constitution  that  no  person  shall  be 
deprived  of  his  property  without  due  process  of  law,  because,  first,  such  process  is  provided  by 
the  notices  (that  the  Board  of  Commissioners  is  organized,  and  that  its  report,  giving  full  infor- 
mation of  every  determination  of  the  Board  which  can  affect  the  interest  of  any  person,  is  open 
for  inspection  and  objection),  which  are  required  by  the  Act  to  be  published  in  the  newspapers, 
and  which  are  sufficient  when  construed  together  with  the  Act;  for  the  sufficiency  of  such  notices 
shall  be  determined  from  the  particular  circumstances  of  the  case  in  hand,  and  in  thi  case  the 
owners  of  property  assessed  knew  that  the  Act  was  passed,  knew  what  notices  were  provided  for, 


DUPONT   STREET  WIDENING.  1271 

and  knew  that  the  entire  cost  would  be  a  lien  on  their  property;  hence  they  ought  to  have  been 
diligent  to  see  that  the  Board  performed  its  duties  properly.  The  district  to  be  assessed  was 
denned  in  the  statute,  and  publication  during  twenty  days  that  the  report  of  the  Board  was 
open  for  inspection  for  thirty  days  was  reasonably  sufficient,  when  helped  out  by  the  statute. 

3.    SAME -APPEAL  TO  COURT. 

And,  second,  as  the  power  to  determine  the  expediency  of  a  public  improvement  rests  with 
the  Legislature,  and  is  nut  judicial  in  its  nature,  the  rights  of  persons  whose  property  is  taken, 
are  fully  secured  if  they  have  a  right  to  be  heard  as  to  the  amount  of  compensation  awarded, 
and  as  to  the  assessment  levied,  before  the  lien  becomes  final  upon  their  property.  Such  right 
is  protected  by  the  provision  that  any  objection  to  the  action  of  the  Board,  as  shown  in  the 
report,  may  be  heard  and  decided  by  the  County  Court  and  the  notice  to  be  given  was  sufficient 
to  bring  into  court  all  parties  interested,  not  as  if  the  proceedings  were  judicial,  but  such  as  the 
case  admits. 

4.  SAME— INJUNCTION— ESTOPPEL. 

Owners  of  property  assessed  under  said  Act  of  March  23,  1876,  cannot  bring  suit,  on  account 
of  the  misconduct  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners,  to  enjoin  collection  of  taxes  for  the  payment 
of  bonds  issued  to  pay  for  the  improvement,  when  ample  provision  is  made  for  the  correction  of 
such  irregularities  at  the  hearing  before  the  County  Court,  and"  the  Act  itself  provides  that  com- 
pletion of  the  work  "shall  be  deemed  an  absolute  acceptance  by  the  owners  of  all  lands  affected 
by  this  Act  of  the  lien  created  by  this  Act  upon  the  several  lots  so  affected . 

5.  SAME— ASSESSMENTS— DISTRICT  BENEFITED. 

The  Legislature  has  authority  to  declare  what  district  is  benefited  by  a  local  improvement, 
and  to  levy  on  such  district  an  assessment  therefor,  and  the  courts  will  interfere  to  set  aside  such 
assessment  enly  where  there  has  been  a  manifest  abuse  of  discretion. 

6.  PUBLICATION— NOTICE— SUPPLEMENT, 

Publication  of  a  notice  on  the  third  sheet,  called  the  "supplement,"  and  containing  matter 
for  which  there  was  no  room  in  the  two  sheets  on  which  the  paper  was  usually  printed,  is  suffi- 
cient when  it  appears  that  the  so-called  "supplement"  is  circulated  co-extensively  with  the  rest 
of  the  paper. 

In  this  case,  on  July  9,  1887,  a  writ  of  error  from  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  to  the 
Supreme  Court  of  California  was  allowed  by  Mr.  Justice  Field  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
S  ates,  and  was  issued  and  filed  in  the  State  Supreme  Court.  The  writ  of  error  is  prosecuted  on  the 
ground  that  the  Dupont- street  Act  is  repugnant  to  the  Fourteenth  Amendment  to  the  Constitution 
of  the  United  States,  in  that  it  purports  to  authorize  the  taking  of  private  property  and  the  impo- 
ition  of  a  burden  thereon  without  affording  to  the  owner  due  process  of  law. 

In  consequence  of  the  litigation,  the  taxes  levied  on  the  assessment  on  the  enhanced  value  of 
property  as  determined  by  the  Commission  were  not  collected.  On  the  decision  of  the  Supreme 
Court  affirming  the  validity  of  the  proceedings  and  the  assessment,  no  further  payments  were  made 
owing  to  the  writ  of  error  taken  and  pending  in  the  United  States  Supreme  Court  to  test  the  con- 
stitutionality of  the  Act  of  the  Legislature.  The  Tax  Collector,  acting  under  advice  of  the  City  and 
County  Attorney,  proposed  to  sell  the  property  for  the  delinquent  assessment  of  all  the  owners  who 
were  not  parties  to  the  suit.  This  resulted  in  some  payments  being  made  by  said  property  owners, 
aggregating  836,684.84,  and  compelled  others  who  were  also  not  parties  to  the  litigation  to  commence 
suit  to  restrain  the  Tax  Collector  to  avoid  any  further  cloud  upon  the  title  to  their  property  until

iMISSION  STREET  WIDENING. 


On  June  20,  1887,  a  petition  was  received  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  owners  of  property  on 
Mission  street,  between  Serpentine  and  Cortlaiid  avenues,  requesting  the  extension  of  Mission  sweet 
to  the  San  Mateo  county  line,  and  that  the  width  thereof  be  increased  through  its  entire  length  to 
eighty-two  and  one-half  (82£l  feet.  The  Committee  on  Streets,  Wharves,  Grades  and  Public  Squares, 
to  whom  the  petition  was  referred,  were  of  the  opinion  that  if  said  street  was  to  be  widened  it  ought 
to  be  made  120  feet  in  width,  and  jo  reported  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors.  In  accordance  therewith 
the  Board  passed  a  Resolution,  No.  19,614  (New  Series),  on  July  5,  1887,  declaring  it  to  be  their  in- 
tention to  inaugurate  proceedings  for  the  widening  of  Mission  street  from  Serpentine  avenue  to  the1 
San  Mateo  county  line  to  a  width  of  120  feet  so  soon  as  a  majority  of  the  owners  of  property  affected 
shall  file  a  petition  for  said  improvement. 

On  a  request  of  the  City  and  County  Attorney  for  his  opinion  as  to  the  power  of  the  Board  on 
the  proposition  to  widen  said  street  and  to  provide  for  assessing  the  benefits  on  the  property  deemed 
benefited,  that  officer  replied  that  "by  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  approved  April  25, 1863  (see  Acts 
of  1863-4,  pp.  560  to  562),  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  were 
given  full  power  and  authority  to  provide  by  order,  for  laying  out,  opening,  extending,  widening 

*  *    *    *    in  whole  or  in  part  any  street    *    *    *    *    within  the  bounds  of  said  city,  and  hi  the 
same  Act  a  mode  of  procedure  is  provided  by  which  that  power  should  be  exercised,  which  preceding: 
cannot  now  be  followed,  since  it  is  impracticable  and  insufficient  under  existing  laws  and  judicial 
interpretations,  so  that  assuming  that  the  power  (meaning  the  right)  to  widen  streets  in  the  muni- 
cipality has  been  delegated  by  the  Legislature  to  the  city  and  county,  I  find  no  mode  prescribed  in 
any  Act  now  in  force  by  which  title  to  lands  may  be  taken  from  private  owners  and  vested  in  the 
mnnicipality  for  the  purpose  of  widening  any  street  or  of  giving  just  compensation  to  such  owners. 

*  *       *       *       If  the  power  or  right  to  widen  streets  is  vested  in  the  legislative  branch  of  our 
city  government,  that  power  remains  inactive  until  some  Act  of  our  State  Legislature  prescribes  a 
mode  by  which  it  may  be  exercised."       *       *       *       * 

On  October  31,  1887,  a  petition  of  property  owners  was  received,  requesting  the  Board  to  again, 
consider  and  take  action  upon  the  prior  petition  filed  for  the  widening  of  said  Mission  street,  from 
Twenty-sixth  street  to  the  county  line,  which,  on  November  14,  1987,  was  reported  upon  by  the 
Committee  on  Streets,  after  hearing  the  representatives  of  the  owners  of  a  majority  of  the  property 
interested  and  affected,  reported  in  favor  of  widening  said  street  from  Twenty-sixth  street  to  the 
county  line  to  a  uniform  width  of  eighty-two  and  one-half  (82J)  feet,  the  land  for  the  widening  to  be 
taken  from  the  land  adjoining  the  easterly  line  o^  said  street  to  a  depth  of  sixteen  and  one-half  (16J) 
feet. 

At  the  same  meeting,  held  November  14,  1887,  the  Board  passed  the  following  resolution  declar- 
ing its  intention  to  so  widen  said  street,  to  wit : 

RESOLUTION  No.  19,894.    (New  Series). 

WHEREAS,  A  petition  of  property-owners  on  Mission  street  has  been  filed  in  the  office  of  the 
Clerk  of  this  Board  praying  that  Mission  street  be  widened  in  certain  parts  thereof ;  it  is 

RESOLVED,  That  in  pursuance  of  such  petition  and  of  the  provisions  of  "An  Act  to  confei 
further  powers  upon  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,"  approved 
April  25,  1863,  it  is  the  intention  of  this  Board  to  order  Mission  street,  between  Twenty-sixth  street 
and  the  county  line,  widened  on  the  southeasterly  side  thereof  to  a  uniform  width  of  82  feet,  6  inches; 
it  is  further 

RESOLVED,  That  at  least  thirty  days'  notice  be  Riven  of  the  application  made  for  the  passage  of 
such  order  by  advertisement  of  this  resolution  in  the  San  Francisco  Chronicle,  the  Morning  Call  and 
the  San  Francisco  Daily  Report,  and  as  for  the  notice  required  by  law. 

And  the  Clerk  is  hereby  directed  to  advertise  this  resolution  as  required  by  law. 

In  Board  of  Supervisors,  San  Francisco,  November  14,  1887. 

Adopted  by  the  following  vote : 

Ayes— Supervisors  Curran,  McDonald,  Boyd,  Pescia,  Bush,  Burns,  Hawhins,  Knorp,  Heyet.

The  following  named  property-owners  filed  protests  on  November  14th  and  21st,  and  Decembei 
27,  1887,  objecting  to  the  prosecution  of  the  work,  to  wit :  William  Byrnes,  Mrs.  Annie  Kiernan. 
John  Watts,  Patrick  Reilly,  Peter  T.  Seculovich,  A.  Collins,  John  Courdana,  Michael  Fay,  A.  White. 
sides  and  A.  Watts.  The  protests  were  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Streets,  who,  after  hearing 
the  parties  and  considering  the  benefit  resulting  from  the  improvement,  reported  against  the  protests, 
the  objectors  representing  a  comparatively  small  amount  of  the  property  affected  by  the  proposed 
widening. 

The  Board,  at  the  request  of  the  property  owners,  passed  to  print  on  March  26,  1888,  and  finally 
passed  on  April  2,  1888,  the  following  Order  widening  Mission  Street  and  appointing  George  Law

expiration  of  the  time  of  the  publication  of  said  notice,  which  objection  shall  be  delivered  to  the 
Clerk  of  the  City  Council,  who  shall  indorse  thereon  the  date  of  its  reception  by  him,  and  at  the 
next  meeting  of  the  City  Council  after  the  expiration  of  said  ten  days,  lay  said  objections  before 
said  City  Council,  which  shall  fix  a  time  for  hearing  said  objections  not  less  than  one  week  there- 
after. The  City  Clerk  shall  thereupon  notify  the  persons  making  such  objections,  by  depositing  a 
notice  thereof  in  the  Postoffice  of  said  city,  postage  prepaid,  addressed  to  such  objector. 

SEC.  5.  At  the  time  specified  or  to  which  the  hearing  may  be  adjourned,  the  said  City  Council 
shall  hear  the  objections  urged  and  pass  upon  the  same,  and  its  decision  shall  be  final  and  conclu- 
sive. If  such  objections  are  sustained,  all  proceedings  shall  be  stopped,  but  proceedings  may  be 
again  commenced  at  any  time  by  giving  notice  of  intention  to  do  said  work,  or  make  said  improve- 
ment. If  such  objection  is  overruled  by  the  City  Council,  the  proceedings  shall  continue  the  same 
as  if  such  objection  had  not  been  made.  At  the  expiration  of  the  time  prescribed  during  which 
objections  to  said  work  or  improvement  may  be  made,  if  no  objections  shall  have  been  made,  or  if 
an  objection  shall  have  been  made,  and  said  Council,  after  hearing,  shall  hare  overruled  the  same, 
the  City  Council  shall  be  deemed  to  have  acquired  jurisdiction  to  order  any  of  the  woik  to  be  done, 
or  improvements  to  be  made,  which  is  authorized  by  section  one  of  this  Act. 

SEC.  6.  Haying  acquired  jurisdiction  »s  provided  In  the  preceding  section,  the  City  Council 
shall  order  said  work  to  be  done,  and  unless  the  proposed  work  is  for  closing  up,  and  it  appears  that 
no  assessment  is  necessary,  shall  appoint  three  Commissioners  to  assess  benefits  and  damages  and 
have  general  supervision  of  the  proposed  work  or  improvement  until  the  completion  thereof  in  com- 
pliance with  this  statute.  For  their  services  they  shall  receive  such  compensation  as  the  City  Coun- 
cil may  determine  from  time  to  time ;  provided,  that  such  compensation  shall  not  exceed  two 
hundred  dollars  per  month  each,  nor  continue  more  than  six  months,  unless  extended  by  order  of 
the  City  Council.  Such  compensation  shall  be  added  to  and  be  chargeable  as  a  part  of 
the  expenses  of  the  work  or  improvement.  Each  of  said  Commissioners  shall  file  with  the  Clerk 
of  the  City  Council  an  affidavit,  and  a  bond  to  the  State  of  California  in  the  sum  of  five  thousand 
dollars,  to  faithfully  perform  the  duties  of  his  office.  .  The  City  Council  may  at  any  time  remove  any 
or  all  of  said  Commissioners  for  cause,  upon  reasonable  notice  and  hearing,  and  may  fill  any  vacan- 
cies occurring  among  them  for  any  cause. 

SEC.  7.  Said  Commissioners  shall  have  power  to  employ  such  assistance,  legal  or  otherwise,  as 
they  may  deem  necessary  and  proper ;  also,  to  rent  an  office  and  provide  such  maps,  diagrams,  plans, 
books,  stationery,  fuel,  lights,  postage,  expressage,  and  incur  such  incidental  expenses  as  they  may 
deem  necessary. 

SEC.  8.  All  such  charges  and  expenses  shall  be  deemed  as  expenses  of  said  work  or  improve- 
ment, and  be  a  charge  only  upon  the  funds  devoted  to  tiie  particular  work  or  improvement  as 
provided  hereinafter.  All  payments,  as  well  for  the  land  and  improvements  taken  or  damaged,  as 
for  the  charges  and  expenses,  shall  be  paid  by  the  City  Treasurer,  upon  warrants  drawn  upon  said 
fund  from  time  to  time,  signed  by  said  Commissioners,  or  a  majority  of  them.  All  such  warrants 
.shall  state  whether  they  are  issued  for  land  or  improvement  taken  or  damaged,  or  for  charges  and 
expenses,  and  that  the  demand  is  payabte  only  out  of  the  money  in  said  fund,  and  in  no  event  shal 
the  city  be  liable  for  the  failure  to  conect  any  assessment  made  by  virtue  hereof,  nor  shall  said 
warrant  be  payable  out  of  any  other  fund,  nor  a  claim  against  the  city. 

SEC.  9.  Said  Commissioners  shall  proceed  to  view  the  lands  described  in  the  resolution  of 
intention,  and  may  examine  witnesses  on  oath  to  be  administered  by  any  one  of  them.  Having  viewed 
the  land  to  be  taken,  and  the  improvements  affected,  and  considered  the  testimony  presented,  they 
shall  proceed,  with  all  diligence,  to  determine  the  value  of  the  land  and  the  damage  to  improvements 
and  property  affected,  and  also  the  amount  of  the  expenses  incident  to  said  work  or  improvement, 
and  having  determined  the  same  shall  proceed  to  assess  the  same  upon  the  district  of  lauds  declared 
benefitted,  the  exterior  bounderies  of  which  were  fixed  by  the  resolution  of  intention  provided  for  by 
section  two  hereof.  Such  assessment  shall  be  made  upon  the  lands  within  said  district  in  proportion 
to  the  benefit  to  be  derived  from  said  work  or  improvement,  so  far  as  the  said  Commissioners  can 
reasonably  estimate  the  same,  including  in  such  estimate  the  property  of  any  railroad  company 
within  said  district,  if  such  there  be. 


MISSION  STREET  WIDENING.  285 


SBC.  10.  Said  Commissioners  having  made  their  assessment  of  benefits  and  damage,  shall,  with 
all  diligence,  make  a  written  report  thereof  to  the  City  Council,  and  shall  accompany  thdr  report 
with  a  plat  of  the  assessment  district  showing  the  laud  taken  or  to  be  taken  for  the  work  or  improve- 
mejnt,  and  the  land  assessed,  showing  the  relative  location  of  each  district,  block,  lot,  or  portion  of 
lot,  and  its  dimensions,  so  far  as  the  Commissioners  can  reasonably  ascertain  the  same.  Each  block 
and  lot,  or  portion  of  lot,  taken  or  assessed,  shall  be  designated  and  described  in  said  plat  by  an 
appropriate  number,  and  a  reference  to  it  by  such  descriptive  number  shall  be  a  sufficient  description 
of  it  in  any  suit  entered  to  condemn,  and  in  all  respects.  When  the  report  and  plat  are  approved  by 
the  City  Council,  a  copy  of  said  plat,  appropriately  designated,  shall  be  filed  by  the  Clerk  thereof  in 
the  office  of  the  Recorder  of  the  county. 

SEC.  11.  Said  report  shall  specify  each  lot,  subdivision,  or  piece  of  property  taken  or  injured  by 
the  widening  or  other  improvement,  or  assessed  therefor,  together  with  the  name  of  the  owner  or 
claimants  thereof,  or  of  persons  interested  therein  as  lessees,  incumbrancers,  or  otherwise,  so  far  aa 
the  same  are  known  to  such  Commissioners,  and  the  particulars  of  their  interest,  so  far  as  the  same 
can  be  ascertained,  and  the  amount  of  value  or  damage,  or  the  amount  assessed,  as  the  case  may  be 
SEC.  12.  If  in  any  case  the  Commissioners  find  that  conflicting  claims  of  title  exist,  or  shall  be 
in  ignorance  or  doubt  as  to  the  ownership  of  any  lot  or  land,  or  of  any  improvements  thereon,  or  of 
any  interest  therein,  it  shall  be  set  down  as  belonging  to  unknown  owners.-  Error  in  the  designation 
of  the  owner  or  owners  of  any  land  or  improvements,  or  of  the  particulars  of  their  interest,  shall 
not  affect  the  validity  of  the  assessment  or  of  the  condemnation  of  the  property  to  be  taken. 

SEC.  13.  Said  report  and  plat  shall  be  filed  in  the  Clerk's  office  of  the  City  Council ;  and  theie 
upon  the  Clerk  of  said  City  Council  shall  give  notice  of  such  filing  by  the  publication  for  at  least 
ten  days  in  one  or  more  daily  newspapers  published  and  circulated  in  said  city ;  or  if  there  be  no 
daily  newspaper,  by  three  successive  insertions  in  a  weekly  or  semi-weekly  newspaper  so  published  and 
circulated.  Said  notice  shall  also  require  all  persons  interested  to  show  cause,  if  any,  why  such 
report  should  not  be  confirmed,  before  the  City  Council,  on  or  before  a  day  fixed  by  the  Clerk  thereof 
and  stated  in  said  notice,  which  day  shall  not  be  less  than  thirty  days  from  the  first  publication 
thereof. 

SEC.  14.  All  objections  shall  be  in  writing  and  filed  with  the  Clerk  of  the  City  Council,  who 
shall,  at  the  next  meeting  after  the  day  fixed  in  the  notice  to  show  cause,  lay  the  said  objections,  if 
any,  before  the  City  Council,  which  shall  fix  a  time  for  hearing  the  same,  of  which  the  Clerk  shall 
notify  the  objectors  in  the  same  manner  as  objectors  to  the  original  resolution  of  intention  at  the 
time  set,  or  at  such  other  time  as  the  hearing  may  be  adjourned  to,  the  City  Council  shall  hear  such 
objections  and  pass  upon  the  same  ;  and  at  such  time,  or  if  there  be  no  objections  at  the  first 
meeting  after  the  day  set  in  such  order  to  show  cause,  or  such  other  time  as  may  be  fixed,  shall 
proceed  to  pass  upon  such  report,  and  may  confirm,  correct,  or  modify  the  same,  or  may  order  the 
Commissioners  to  make  a  new  assessment,  report,  and  plat,  which  shall  be  filed,  notice  given,  and 
hearing  had  as  in  the  case  of  an  original  report. 

SEC.  15.  The  Clerk  of  said  City  Council  shall  forwaid  to  the  Street  Superintendent  of  the  city 
a  certified  copy  of  the  report,  assessment,  and  plat,  as  finally  confirmed  and  adopted  by  the  City 
Council.  Such  certified  copy  shall  thereupon  be  the  assessment  roll .  Immediately  upon  receipt 
thereof  by  the  Street  Superintendent  the  assessment  therein  contained  shall  become  due  and  pay- 
able, and  shall  be  a  lien  upon  all  the  property  contained  or  described  therein. 

SEC.  16.  The  Superintendent  of  Streets  shall  thereupon  give  notice  by  publication  for  ten  day 
in  one  or  more  daily  newspapers  published  and  circulated  in  such  city,  or  city  and  county,  or  by  two 
successive  insertions  in  a  weekly  or  semi-weekly  newspaper  so  published  and  circulated,  that  he  has 
received  said  assessment  roll,  and  that  all  sums  levied  and  assessed  in  said  assessment  roll  are  due 
and  payable  immediately,  and  that  the  payment  of  said  sums  is  to  be  made  to  him  within  thirty 
days  from  the  date  of  the  first  publication  of  said  notice.  Said  notice  shall  also  contain  a  statement 
that  all  assessments  not  paid  before  the  expiration  of  said  thirty  days  will  be  declared  to  be  delin- 
quent, and  that  thereafter  the  sum  of  five  per  cent,  upon  the  amount  of  each  delinquent  assessment,, 
together  with  the  cost  of  advertising  each  delinquent  assessment,  will  be  added  thereto.  When  pay- 
ment of  any  assessment  is  made  to  said  Superintendent  of  Streets  he  shall  write  the  word  "  paid,' 
and  the  date  of  payment  opposite  the  respective  assessment  so  paid,  and  the  names  of  persons  by  or 
for  whom  said  assessment  is  paid,  and  shall,  if  so  required,  give  a  receipt  therefor.  On  the.  expira- 
tion of  said  thirty  days  all  assessments  then  unpaid  shall  be  and  become  delinquent,  and  said  Super- 
intendent of  Streets  shall  certify  such  fact  at  the  foot  of  said  assessment  roll,  and  shall  add  five  per 
cent,  to  the  amount  of  each  assessment  so  delinquent.  The  said  Superintendent  of  Streets  shall 
within  five  days  from  the  date  of  said  delinquency,  proceed  to  advertise  and  collect  the  vario  us  sum

delinquent,  and  the  whole  thereof,  including  the  cost  of  advertising,  which  last  shall  not  exceed  the 
sum  of  fifty  cents  for  each  lot,  piece  or  parcel  of  land  seperately  assessed,  by  the  sale  of  the  assessed 
property  in  tke  same  manner  as  is  or  may  be  provided  for  the  collection  of  State  and  county  taxes  ; 
and  after  the  date  of  said  delinquency,  and  before  the  time  of  such  sale  herein  provided  for,  no 
assessment  shall  be  received  unless  at  the  same  time  the  five  per  cent,  added  thereto,  as  aforesaidf 
together  with  the  cqsts  of  advertising  then  already  incurred,  shall  be  paid  therewith.  Said  Lst  of 
delinquent  assessments  shall  be  published  daily  for  five  days  in  one  or  more  daily  newspapers  pub- 
lished and  circulated  in  such  city,  or  by  at  least  one  insertion  in  a  weekly  newspaper  so  published 
and  circulated,  before  the  day  of  sale  of  such  delinquent  assessment.  Said  time  of  sale  must  not  be 
less  than  seven  days  from  the  date  of  the  first  publication  of  said  delinquent  assessment  list,  and 
the  place  must  be  in  or  in  front  of  the  office  of  said  Superintendent  of  Streets.  All  property  sold 
shall  be  subject  to  redemption  in  the  same  time  and  manner  as  in  sales  for  delinquent  State  and 
county  taxes  ;  and  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  may  collect  for  each  certificate  fifty  cents,  and  for 
each  deed  one  dollar.  All  provisions  of  the  law  in  reference  to  the  sale  and  redemption  of  property 
for  delinquent  State  and  county  taxes  in  force  at  any  given  time,  shall  also  then,  so  far  as  the  same 
are  not  in  conflict  with  the  provisions  of  this  Act,  be  applicable  to  the  sale  and  redemption  of  prop- 
erty for  delinquent  assessments  hereunder,  including  the  issuance  of  certificates  and  execution  of 
deeds.  The  deed  of  the  Street  Superintendent  made  after  such  sale,  in  case  of  failure  to  redeem 
shall  be  prima  facie  evidence  of  the  regularity  of  all  proceedings  hereunder,  and  of  title  in  the 
grantee.  It  shall  be  conclusive  evidence  of  the  necessity  of  taking  or  damaging  the  lands  taken  or 
damaged,  and  of  the  correctness  of  the  compensation  awarded  therefor.  The  Superintendent  of 
Streets  shall,  from  time  to  time,  pay  over  to  the  City  Treasurer  all  moneys  collected  by  him  on 
account  of  any  such  assessments.  The  City  Treasurer  shall,  upon  receipt  thereof,  place  the  same  in 
a  separate  fund,  designating  such  fund  by  the  name  of  the  street,  square,  lane,  alley,  court  or  place 
for  the  widening,  opening,  or  other  improvement  of  which  the  assessment  was  made.  Payments 
shall  be  made  from  said  fund  to  the  parties  entitled  thereto  upon  warrants  signed  by  the  Commis- 
sioners or  a  majority  of  them. 

SEC  17.  When  sufficient  money  is  in  the  hands  of  the  City  Treasurer,  in  the  fund  devoted  to 
the  proposed  work  or  improvement,  to  pay  for  the  land  and  improvements  taken  or  damaged,  and 
when  in  the  discretion  of  the  Commissioners,  or  a  majority  of  them,  the  time  shall  have  come  to 
make  payments,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Commissioners  to  notify  the  owner,  possessor  or  occupant 
of  any  land  or  improvements  thereon  to  wbom  damages  shall  have  been  awarded,  that  a  warrant  has 
been  drawn  for  the  payment  of  the  same,  and  that  he  can  receive  such  warrant  at  the  office  of  such 
Commissioners  upon  tendering  a  conveyance  of  any  property  to  be  taken  ;  such  notification,  except 
in  the  case  of  unknown  owners,  to  be  made  by  depositing  a  notice,  postage  paid,  in  the  Postoffice, 
addressed  to  his  last  known  place  of  abode  or  residence.  If  at  the  expiration  of  thirty  days  after  the 
deposit  of  such  notice,  he  should  not  have  applied  for  such  warrant,  and  tendered  a  conveyance  of 
the  land  to  be  taken,  the  warrant  so  drawn  shall  be  deposited  with  the  County  Treasurer,  and  shall 
be  delivered  to  such  owner,  possessor,  or  occupant,  upon  tendering  a  conveyance  as  aforesaid,  unless 
judgment  of  condemnation  shall  be  had,  when  the  same  shall  be  canceled. 

SEC.  18.  If  any  owner  of  land  to  be  taken  neglects  or  refuses  to  accept  the  warrant  drawn  in  his 
favor  as  aforesaid,  or  objects  to  the  report  as  to  the  necessity  of  taking  his  land,  the  Commissioners, 
with  the  approval  of  the  City  Council,  may  cause  proceedings  to  be  taken  for  the  condemnation 
thereof,  as  provided  by  law  under  the  right  of  eminent  domain.  The  complaint  may  aver  that  it  is 
necessary  for  the  city  to  take  or  damage  and  condemn  the  said  lands,  or  an  easement  therein,  as  the 
case  may  be,  without  setting  forth  the  proceedings  herein  provided  for,  and  the  resolution  and  ordi- 
nance ordering  said  work  to  be  done  shall  be  conclusive  evidence  of  such  necessity.  Such  proceed- 
ing shall  be  brought  in  the  name  of  the  municipality  and  have  precedence  so  far  as  the  business  of 
the  Court  will  permit;  and  any  judgment  for  damages  therein  rendered  shall  be  payable  out  of  such 
portion  of  the  special  fund  as  may  remain  in  the  Treasury  so  far  as  the  same  can  be  applied.  At 
any  time  after  trial  and  judgment  entered,  or  preceding  an  appeal,  the  Court  may  order  the  City 
Treasurer  to  set  apart  in  the  City  Treasury  a  sufficient  sum  from  the  fund  appropriated  to  the  par- 
ticular improvement  to  answer  the  judgment  and  all  damages,  and  thereupon  may  authorize  and 
order  the  municipality  to  enter  upon  the  land  and  proceed  with  the  proposed  work  and  improve- 
ment. In  case  of  a  deficiency  in  said  fund  to  pay  the  whole  of  such  judgment  and  damages,  the 
City  Council  may,  in  their  discretion,  order  the  balance  thereof  to  be  paid  out  of  the  General  Fund 
of  the  Treasury  or  to  be  distributed  by  the  Commissioners  over  the  property  assessed  by  a  supple- 
mentary assessment;  but  in  the  last  named  case,  in  order  to  avoid  delay,  the  City  Council  may 
advance  such  balance  out  of  any  appropriate  fund  in  the  Treasury  and  reimburse  the  same  from  the 


MISSION  STREET  WIDENING.  287 


collections  of  the  assessment.    Pending  the  collection  and  paynient  of  the  amount  of  the  judgment 
and  damages  the  Court  may  order  such  stay  of  proceedings  as  may  be  necessary. 

SEC.  19.  The  Treasurer  shall  pay  such  warrants  out  of  the  appropriate  fund,  and  not  otherwise, 
in  the  order  of  their  presentation;  provided,  that  warrants  for  land  or  improvements  taken  or  dam- 
aged, shall  have  priority  over  warrants  for  charges  and  expenses,  and  the  Treasurer  shall  see  that 
sufficient  money  is  and  remains  in  the  fund  to  pay  all  warrants  of  the  first  class  before  paying  any  of 
the  second. 

SEC.  20.  If  after  the  sale  of  the  property  for  delinquent  assessments  there  should  be  a  deficiency, 
and  there  should  be  unreasonable  delay  in  collecting  the  same,  or  if  for  the  purpose  of  equalizing 
the  assessments  supplying  a  deficiency,  or  for  any  cause  it  appears  desirable,  the  Commissioners 
may  so  report  to  the  City  Council,  who  may  order  them  to  make  a  supplementary  assessment  and 
report  the  same  in  manner  and  form  as  the  original,  and  subject  to  the  same  procedure.  If  by 
reason  of  such  supplementary  assessment,  or  for  any  cause,  there  should  be  at  any  time  a  surplus, 
the  City  Council  may  appropriate  the  same  and  declare  a  dividend  pro  rata  to  the  parties  paying 
the  same,  and  they,  upon  demand,  shall  have  the  right  to  have  the  amount  of  such  pro  rata  divi- 
dends refunded  to  them,  or  credited  upon  any  subsequent  assessment  for  taxes  made  against  said 
parties  in  favor  of  said  city. 

SEC.  21.  If  any  title  attempted  to  be  acquired  by  virtue  of  this  Act  shall  be  found  to  be  de- 
fective from  any  cause,  the  City  Council  may  again  institute  proceedings  to  acquire  the  cause  as  in 
this  Act  provided,  or  otherwise,  or  may  authorize  the  Commissioners  to  purchase  the  same  and  in- 
clude the  cost  thereof  in  a  supplementary  assessment  as  provided  in  the  last  section. 

SEC.  22.  If  the  City  Council  deem  it  proper  that  the  boundaries  of  the  districts  of  lands  to  be 
affected  and  assessed  to  pay  the  damages,  cost  and  expenses  of  any  work  or  improvement  under 
this  Act,  shall  inelude  the  whole  city,  then  the  Commissioners  appointed  shall  proceed  in  a  summary 
manner  to  purchase  the  lands  to  be  taken  or  condemned  from  the  owners  and  claimants  thereof. 
If  said  Commissioners  and  the  owners  and  claimants  cannot  agree  upon  the  price  to  be  paid  for 
said  lands,  they  shall  proceed  to  view  and  value  the  same,  and  shall  thereupon  make  a  summary 
report  to  the  City  Council.  Upon  final  confirmation  of  the  report,  the  City  Council,  if  there  be  not 
sufficient  money  available  in  the  City  Treasury,  shall  cause  the  cost  and  expenses  of  the  contem- 
plated public  improvement  to  be  assessed  upon  the  whole  of  the  taxable  property  of  said  city,  and 
to  be  included  in  and  form  part  of  the  next  general  assessment  roll  of  said  city,  and  with  like  effect 
in  all  respects  as  if  the  same  formed  a  part  of  the  city,  State  and  county  taxes;  and  when  the  same 
shall  have  been  collected  the  said  City  Council  shall  cause  the  land  required  to  be  paid  for  or  the 
value  thereof  tendered,  and  the  said  contemplated  public  improvements  to  be  forthwith  made  and 
completed.  All  the  provisions  of  the  preceding  sections  not  in  contiict  with  this  section  shall  be 
applicable  thereto. 

SEC.  23.  1.  The  words  "  work"  and  "  improvement," as  used  in  this  Act,  shall  include  all  work 
mentioned  in  section  one  of  this  Act. 

2.  In  case  there  is  no  daily  or  weekly  or  semi-weekly  newspapers  printed  and  circulated  in  the 
city,  then  such  notices  as  are  herein  required  to  be  published  in  a  newspaper  shall  be  posted  and 
kept  posted  for  the  length  of  time  required  herein  for  the  publication  of  the  same  in  a  weekly  news- 
paper, in  three  of  the  most  public  places  in  such  city.    Proof  of  the  publication  or  posting  of  any 
notice  provided  for  herein  shall  be  made  by  affidavit  of  the  owner,  publisher,  or  clerk  of  the  news- 
paper, or  of  the  poster  of  the  notice. 

3.  The  word  "municipality"  and  the  word  "  city  "  shall  be  understood  and  so  construed  as  to

SAN  FRANCISCO,  Cal.,  March  25, 1889. 
To  the  Honorable  Mayor  and  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco. 

GENTLEMEN:  John  Haley,  George  Lawsmith  and  D.  J.  Oullahan,  constituting  the  Board  of 
Mission  Street  Widening  Commissions,  by  their  attorneys,  O'Brien,  Morrison  and  Daingerfield, 
respectfully  pray  your  honorable  body  to  pass  the  accompanying  ordinance,  for  the  purpose  therein 
stated,  so  that  their  report,  which  is  now  ready,  may  be  filed,  and  proceedings  concluded  as  speedily 
as  possible.  Very  Respectfully  Yours, 

O'BRIEN,  MORRISON  AND  DAINGERFIELD, 
Attorneys  for  Board  of  Mission  Street  Widening  Commissioners. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Committee  on  Streets  held  on  April  5th,  the  Commissioners  and  some  of 
the  property  owners  were  heard.  A  fuller  representation  of  interested  parties  was  desired  by  the 
Committee  in  order  to  ascertain  and  determine  the  wishes  of  the  owners  of  property,  in  reference  to 
the  prosecution  of  the  work  already  commenced  and  its  completion,  and  pursuant  to  a  notice 
given  by  the  property  owners,  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  persons  interested  and  affected  appeared 
before  the  Committee  at  a  meeting  held  on  April  18, 1889,  on  which  occasion  a  full  opportunity  was 
given  all  persons  desiring  to  present  their  views. 

On  April  22,  1889,  the  Committee  on  Streets  reported  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors  in  favor  of 
"continuing  the  Commission  heretofore  appointed  by  the  Board,  in  the  matter  of  widening  Mission 
street  from  Twenty-sixth  street  to  the  county  line.  Under  an  Act  passed  at  the  last  session  of  the 
Legislature  the  proceedings  heretofore  had  can  be  continued  and  completed.  The  gentlemen 
composing  the  present  Commission  are  George  Law  Smith,  John  J.  Haley  and  D.  J.  Oullahan,  who 
are  familiar  with  the  whole  matter,  and  have  progressed  so  far  that  at  present  the  only  remaining 
work  to  be  done  to  complete  their  report  is  to  review  and  correct  the  assessments  for  benefits  and 
damages.  As  the  services  performed  up  to  this  time  have  been  gratuitous,  and  as  the  report  o. 
the  Commission  as  to  amounts  allowed  as  benefits  or  damages  must  be  passed  upon  by  this  Board > 
who  have  full  power  to  confirm,  correct,  or  modify  the  same,  no  harm  can  result  to  any  one  by  the 
further  prosecution  and  completion  of  the  work  by  the  said  Commission.  A  minority  in  number  of 
the  property  owners  very  energetically  protested  against  the  present  Commission,  or  some  of  its 
members,  and  some  of  the  representations  made,  if  correct,  seemed  to  have  merit. 

"  It  was  overlooked,  however,  by  the  objectors  that  until  the  report  is  made  the  question  Of 
allowance  made  for  damages,  etc.,  could  not  be  determined,  and  that  this  Board  have  the  right  to 
correct  and  adjust  all  assessments  in  such  manner  as  may  be  deemed  just  and  proper,  The  miscon

ception  evidently  arose  from  the  opinion  that  the  decision  of  the  Commission  was  final  and 
conclusive,  which  was  not  the  case,  as  all  the  property  owners  dissatisfied  on  the  tiling  of  the  report 
of  the  Commission  have  the  right  to  appeal  to  this  Board  if  they  feel  aggrieved." 

The  following  Order  ratifying  the  proceedings  heretofore  taken,  continuing  the  Commission  and 
providing  for  the  prosecution  and  completion  of  the  work  of  widening  Mission  street;,  under  the  Act 
of  the  Legislature  of  1889  was  then  passed  to  print,  and  on  April  29th  finally  passed  by  the  Board, 
peceiving  the  approval  by  the  Mayor  on  May  10, 1889 ;  to  wit :

AND  THE  COUNTY  LINE. 

The  people  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  do  ordain  as  follows  : 

WHEREAS,  It  appears  that  John  J.  Haley,  George  Law  Smith  and  D.  J.  Oullahan,  heretofore 
appointed  by  Order  No.  1973  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco 
Commissioners  to  assess  benefits  and  damages  for  the  widening  of  Mission  street  continued  from 
Twenty-sixth  street  to  the  county  lire,  are  ready  to  make  their  report  in  compliance  with  the  pro- 
visions of  said  Order  and  Section  7  thereof,  and  the  orders  supplementary  thereto  and  amendatory 
thereof  ;  and  it  appearing  that  Section  24  of  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  California, 
entitled  '  'An  Act  to  provide  for  laying  out,  opening,  extending,  widening,  straightening  or  closing 
up,  in  whole  or  in  part,  any  street,  square,  lane,  alley,  court  or  place  within  municipalities,  and  to 
condemn  aud  acquire  any  and  all  land  and  property  necessary  or  convenient  for  that  purpose," 
approved  March  6,  1889,  provides  as  follows,  to  wit : 

SECTION  24.  The  proceedings  in  any  work  or  improvement,  such  as  is  provided  for  in  this  Act, 
already  commenced  and  now  progressing  under  any  other  Act,  now  in  force,  or  by  virtue  of  any 
ordinance  passed  by  any  City  Council  or  Board  of  Supervisors  of  any  city,  county,  or  city  and  county, 
by  virtue  of  any  other  Act,  now  in  force,  may,  from  any  stage  of  such  proceedings  already  com- 
menced aud  now  progressing,  be  continued  under  this  Act  by  resolution  of  the  City  Council.  The 
said  work  or  improvement  may  then  be  conducted  under  the  provisions  of  this  Act  with  full  force 
and  effect  in  all  respects,  from  the  stage  of  such  proceedings  under  such  other  Acts  or  orders  at  aud 
from  which  such  resolution  shall  declare  an  election  or  intention  to  have  said  work  or  improvement 
cease  underjsuch  other  Act  or  order,  and  continue  under  this  Act ;  and  from  such  election  so  made, 
all  proceedings  thereto  had  under  such  other  Act  or  order  are  hereby  ratified,  confirmed  and  made 
valid,  and  it  shall  be  unnecessary  to  renew  or  conduct  over  again  proceedings  had  under  such  other 
Act  or  order.  This  section  shall  not  apply  to  any  work  or  improvement,  proceedings  in  which  were 
commenced  more  than  eighteen  months  prior  to  the  passage  of  this  Act." 

And  it  further  appearing  desirable  for  the  purpose  of  saving  expense  and  for  good  cause  shown 
that  the  proceedings  for  said  improvement  provided  for  in  said  orders  should  be  continued  and 
concluded  under  said  Act,  approved  March  6,  1889,  instead  of  under  the  provisions  of  said  orders, 
and  the  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  said  State,  entitled  "An  Act  to  confer  further  powers  upon  the 
Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco"  (approved  April  25,  1863),  under  and 
in  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  which  latter  Act  said  orders  were  adopted  and  said  proceedings 
heretofore  conducted ;  now,  therefore,  in  conformity  with  the  provisions  of  said  Section  24  of  said 
Act,  approved  March  6,  1889,  it  is  hereby  resolved  that  the  said  Commissioners  are  hereby  required 
to  file  their  report,  framed  in  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  said  orders,  in  the  office  of  the  Clerk 
of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  said  city  and  county,  and  that  thereupon  and  thereafter  notice 
be  given,  publication  made  (all  persons  interested  be  required  to  show  cause,  if  any,  why  such  report 
should  not  be  confirmed),  and  all  further  and  future  proceedings  in  the  matter  of  said  widening  be 
had  and  conducted  under  and  in  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  said  Act,  approved  March  6  , 
1889,  instead  of  under  the  provisions  of  said  orders,  or  either  of  them,  and  that  all  proceedings, 
cease,  under  said  orders  and  each  of  them,  after,  upon  and  from  the  filing  of  said  report. 

Be  it  further  resolved,  that  each  of  said  Commissioners  shall,  together  with  said  report,  file  with 
the  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  an  affidavit  and  a  bond  to  the  State  of  California  in  the  sum 
of  $5,000  to  faithfully  perform  the  duties  of  his  office  in  compliance  with  Section  6  of  the  said  Act

T*  the  Honorable  Mayor  and  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco.- 

GENTLEMEN:  Your  Commissioners  appointed  under  Order  No.  1973  of  your  Honorable  Board, 
approved  A  pril  7,  1888,  hereby,  in  compliance  with  said  order  and  the  orders  amendatory  and  sup- 
plementary thereto,  and  in  compliance  with  your  Order  No  2059  referring  to  the  Act  of  the  Legis-

place  within  municipalities,  and  to  condemn  and  acquire  any  and  all  land  and  property  necessary 
or  convenient  for  that  purpose,"  approved  March  6,  1889,  respectfully  report : 

That  they  have  made  their  estimate  of  the  value  of  the  land  taken  for  the  widening  of  Mission 
street,  described  hereinafter  and  in  Section  3  of  said  Order  1973,  and  of  the  damage  to  improvements 
thereon  or  adjacent  thereto  or  injured  thereby,  and  of  all  expenses  whatsoever  incident  to  the

That  the  value  of  the  land  taken  and  the  damages  to  improvements  thereon  or  adjacent  thereto

MISSION  STREET  WIDENING.  291 

That  the  City  Railroad  Company  is  the  only  corporation  or  company  owning  or  using  a  railroad 
track  on  said  Mission  street. 

That  your  Commissioners  believe  the  sum  of  $2,000.00  to  be  an  equitable  and  just  proportion  of 
the  costs,  damages  and  expenses  of  said  widening  for  the  said  City  Railroad  Company,  a  railroad 
corporation,  to  pay,  and  therefore  assess  such  portion  and  sum  of  $2,000.03  against  said  City  Rail- 
road Company,  accordingly. 

That  deducting  the  last  mentioned  sum  of  $2,000.00  from  the  said  total  amount  $156,978.94  of 
costs,  damages  and  expenses,  there  remains  the  sum  of  $154,978.94  to  be  assessed  upon  the  district 
benefited  by  said  widening. 

That  they  believe  and  so  find  such  district  benefited  to  be  that  described  in  Section  6  of  your 
said  Order  1973,  to  wit : 

All  that  district  and  tract  of  land  in  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  State  of  California, 
described  and  bounded  as  follows,  to  wit : 

Commencing  at  the  intersection  of  the  southerly  line  of  Twenty-sixth  street  with  the  easterly 
line  of  Mission  street;  thence  running  easterly  along  the  southerly  line  of  Twenty-sixth  street  for  a 
distance  of  1,000  feet;  thence  running  southerly  at  a  distance  of  1,000  feet  from  and  parallel  to  the 
line  of  Mission  street  as  aforesaid  widened,  to  an  intersection  with  the  county  line;  thence  westerly 
along  said  county  line  to  a  point  1,000  feet  distant  measured  at  right  angles  from  the  northwesterly 
line  of  Mission  street  continued  as  aforesaid  if  extended  ;  thence  northerly  at  a  distance  of  1,000 
feet  from  and  parallel  to  the  northwesterly  line  of  Mission  street  continued  as  aforesaid  to  a  point 
on  the  southerly  line  of  Twenty-sixth  street,  at  a  distance  of  $1,000  feet  west  of  the  westerly  line  of 
Mission  street ;  thence  along  said  southerly  line  of  Twenty-sixth  street  to  the  point  of  beginning 
And  said  district  is  hereby  declared  benefited  by  said  widening. 

Your  Commissioners  believe  that  the  last  mentioned  sum  of  $154,978.94  as  the  fairest  and  most 
equitable  division  of  the  same  that  cau  be  devised,  should  be  assessed,  and  therefore  assess  it  ac- 
cordingly upon  the  said  land  hereinbefore  and  by  said  Section  6  of  your  Order  declared  to  be  bene- 
fited by  said  widening,  in  manner  following  to  wit : 

One-fourth  upon  the  lands  and  improvements  thereon  lying  within  a  uniform  distance  of  100 
feet,  easterly,  on  and  from  the  southeasterly  line  of  Mission  street  as  aforesaid,  widened,  between 
Twenty-sixth  street  and  the  county  line  ;  one-fourth  upon  the  lands  and  the  improvements  thereon 
lying  within  a  uniform  distance  of  100  feet  westerly,  on  and  from  the  northwesterly  line  of  Mission 
street  as  aforesaid,  between  Twenty-sixth  street  and  the  county  line  ;  one-fourth  on  the  lands  and 
improvements  thereon  lying  between  100  feet  and  1,000  feet  easterly  from  the  southeasterly  line  of  Mis- 
sion street,  as  aforesaid,  widened,  between  Twenty-sixth  street  and  the  county  line  ;  one-fourth  on 
the  lands  and  the  improvements  thereon  lying  between  100  feet  and  1,000  feet  westerly  from  the 
northwesterly  line  of  Mission  street  as  aforesaid,  between  Twenty-sixth  street  and  the  county  line; 
provided,  that  all  lots  or  parcels  of  land  within  100  feet  of  the  southeasterly  or  northwesterly  lines  of 
Mission  street  as  aforesaid,  between  Twenty-sixth  street  and  the  county  line,  not  fronting  directly 
•on  the  line  of  said  street,  are  for  the  purposes  of  this  assessment  assessed  as  though  the  same  were 
outside  the  line  of  said  100  feet  as  hereinbefore  provided,  and  are  assessed  as  is  herein  provided  for 
the  assessment  of  land  and  property  distant  more  than  100  feetj  from  the  southeasterly  and  north- 
westerly lines  of  said  street  between  Twenty-sixth  street  and  the  county  line. 

That  in  compliance  with  the  requirements  of  Section  7  of  your  Order  1973  : 

(a.)  They  have  prepared,  and  with  this  their  report,  present  suitable  maps,  plans  and  diagrams 
exhibiting  "  the  several  lots  and  subdivisions  of  land  and  improvements  thereon,  included  in  the 
ands  taken  for  the  widening,"  and  also  all  the  lots  and  subdivisions  assessed. 

The  "  damages  caused  to  said  land  and  improvements  by  the  widening,"  they  find  it  practicaSle 
and  most  convenient  to  embrace  in  Schedule  No.  1,  under  respective  heads  of  ' '  Amount  of  value  or 
damage  determined  on  for  land  taken,"  and  "Amount  of  damage  to  improvements  thereon  or  ad- 
jacent thereto  or  injured  thereby."  a  copy  of  which  Schedule  No.  1  is  attached  to  each  volume  of 
said  maps,  plans  and  diagrams,  as  a  part  thereof. 

Further  information  as  to  said  damages  appears  on  the  face  of  said  maps  by— I.  The  plats  of 
improvements  thereon  and  approximate  position  thereof  on  lot,  indicating  thereby  the  necessity  for

attached  (as  required  by  said  Section  7  of  Order  No.  1973),  they  .severally  specify  and  describe  each; 
lot  and  subdivision  or  piece  of  property  taken  or  injured  by,  or  assessed  for  the  widening  as  afore- 
said by  reference  to  said  lot  and  block  number  as  authorized  by  said  supplementary  Order  No.  2020- 

(c.)  They  have  in  Schedule  1  and  Schedule  2,  in  compliance  with  Section  7  of  said  Order  1973; 
' '  set  down  against  each  lot,  subdivision  or  piece  of  property,"  the  names  of  the  owners,  occupants 
and  claimants  thereof,  or  of  persons  interested  therein  as  lessees,  incumbrancers  or  otherwise,  so  far 
as  the  same  is  known  to  such  Commissioners,  and  where  the  name  is  unknown  have  indicated  such 
fact  by  setting  down  against  the  same  the  words,  "  unknown  owner." 

(d.)  In  connection  with  such  names  and  under  the  same  head  they  have  set  down  "  the  partic- 
ulars of  their  interests  "  so  far  as  the  same  can  be  ascertained.  The  only  interest  they  have  been 
able  to  ascertain  is  that  of  ownership.  Where  such  property  is  assessed  or  set  down  to  unknown 
owner  the  property  interests  are  also  unknown. 

(e.)  In  Schedule  1  they  have  set  down  the  amount  of  value  or  damage  determined  upon  for  the 
and  taken,  to  wit,  amount  in  value  of  damage  determined  on  therefor,  and  also  the  damages  to 
improvements  thereon. 

(f.)  Your  Commissioners  were  and  are  in  ignorance  and  doubt  as  to  the  ownership  of  or 
interests  in  all  the  lots  of  land  and  improvements  assessed  or  set  down  to  unknown  owners,  and 
therefore,  in  compliance  with  Section  7  of  Order  No.  1973.  they  have  set  the  same  down  as  belonging 
to  and  assessed  the  same  to  unknown  owners  accordingly. 

They  have,  in  Schedule  2,  set  down'the  amount  of  benefit  which  will  accrue  to  any  and  every  lot 
of  land  within  said  district  declared  benefitted  by  said  widening,  and  have  assessed  it  that  amount 
accordingly. 

In  the  Schedules,  in  order  to  avoid  repetition  and  expense,  they  have : 

1.  Indicated  the  required  information  by  appropriate  head-lines. 

2.  From  excess  of  caution  your  Commissioners  reiterate  the  words,    "  Unknown  Owner,"  in 
eacl-  case  where  the  owner  is  unknown  and  the  assessment  is  so  made,  or  the  lot  so  set  down,  but 
think  it  a  waste  of  words  and  space  to  reiterate  in  each  case  where  the  property  interests  are 
unknown  that  they  are  so,  and  therefore  make  such  averment  in  the  head  note  and  in  note  "d  " 
hereof  for  all.  • 

The  following  is  a  description  of  the  whole  tract  condemned  and  taken  for  the  purpose  of 
widening  the  said  street  as  aforesaid,  to  wit : 

Commencing  at  the  intersection  ot  the  southerly  line  of  Twenty-sixth  street  with  the  easterly 
line  of  Mission  street ;  thence  running  southerly  186  feet  or  thereabouts  to  the  point  on  the  easterly 
line  of  Mission  street  where  said  Mission  street  contracts  to  a  width  of  66  feet ;  thence  running 
southerly,  following  the  present  southeasterly  line  of  Mission  street,  continued  to  its  intersection 
with  the  county  line  ;  thence  easterly  along  said  county  line  to  a  point  thereon  which  shall  be  distant 
16  feet  6  inches  measured  at  right  angles  from  the  said  southeasterly  line  of  Mission  street 
continued  as  aforesaid ;  thence  northerly  along  a  line  parallel  to  and  16  feet  6  inches  distant  from 
said  southeasterly  line  of  Mission  street  to  a  point  distant  219  feet  or  thereabouts  from  the  inter- 
section of  the  southerly  line  of  Twenty-sixth  street  with  the  easterly  line  of  Mission  street  measured 
at  right  angles  to  the  southerly  line  of  Twenty-sixth  street ;  thence  to  the  point  on  the  easterly 
line  of  Mission  street  186  feet  or  thereabouts  south  of  the  southerly  line  of  Twenty-sixth  street, 
being  the  point  where  Mission  street  contracts  to  a  width  of  66  feet,  as  aforesaid.

The  following  communication  fromD.  J.  Oullahan,  the  remaining  Commissioner, was  received  on

the  Board  to  suspend  action  on  the  majority  report  until  his  report  was  filed  and  considered,  to  wit  : 

COMMUNICATION  FROM   D.  J.  OULLAHAN. 

To  the  Honorable  Mayor  and  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco. 

GENTLEMEN  :  A  report  signed  by  Messrs.  Haley  and  Smith,  my  associate  Commissioners  for 
widening  Mission  street,  was  filed  with  your  clerk  on  the  15th  inst. 

Upon  many  very  material  matters,  estimates,  values,  etc.,  embraced  in  that  report,  I  am  com- 
pelled to  differ  with  my  fellow  Commissioners,  and  so  I  di4  not  concur  in  or  sign  it ;  but  in  the 
discharge  of  my  duty,  1  desire  to  submit  a  minority  report  to  be  considered  with  the  majority 
report,  and  shall  hope  for  your  favorable  action  thereon. 

I  am  now  engaged  in  preparing  my  minority  report,  and  shall  work  with  all  possible  diligence 
until  it  is  completed  and  shall  then  present  it  to  your  honorable  body;  but  in  view  of  the  necessary 
length  thereof  and  the  amount  of  work,  detail  and  care  required  to  prepare  it,  I  fear  I  cannot  have 
it  ready  in  less  than  thirty  days  from  date,  and  I  most  respectfully  request  your  honorable  body 
to  suspend  action  on  the  majority  report  until  my  (minority)  report  can  be  filed  and  considered 
with  it  which  will  be  within  thirty  days  from  date. 

Respectfully, 

D   J.  OULLAHAN, 

President  Board  of  Commissioners,  etc. 

The  Board  of  Supervisors,  on  recommendation  of  the  Committee  on  Streets  at  a  meeting  held 
June  24,  1889,  placed  on  file  the  communication  of  D.  J.  Oullahan  requesting  the  Board  to  suspend 
action  on  the  matter  of  the  report  filed  by  the  Commissioners  for  widening  Mission  street  for  a 
period  of  thirty  days,  until  he  could  prepare  and  file  his  minority  report  as  one  of  the  Commissioners 

On  July  15,  1889,  the  following  communication  from  D.  J.  Oullahan,  one  of  the  Commissioners 
for  widening  Mission  street,  requesting  an  extension  of  ten  days  time  in  which  to  file  his  report, 
and  requesting  that  the  other  Commissioners  be  directed  to  furnish  him  with  use  of  the  maps 
prepared ;  which  communication  was  ordered  placed  on  file  on  recommendation  of  the  Committee 
on  Streets  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board  held  on  July  22,  1889. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  communication  referred  tot 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  D.  J.  OULLAHAN. 
To  the  Honorable  Board  of  Supervisors. 

GENTLEMEN  :  The  thirty  days  within  which  I  had  expected  to  be  able  to  present  a  minority, 
report  in  the  above  matter  (widening  of  Mission  street  from  Twenty-sixth  street  to  the  county  line 
will  expire  on  the  17th  inst.,  and,  without  any  fault  of  mine,  I  regret  to  say  that  it  will  be  impossible 
for  me  to  have  my  report  ready  for  filing  by  that  time.  The  reason  is,  I  require  the  use  of  the 
duplicate  maps  in  the  preparation  of  my  report,  and  have  been  unable  to  obtain  access  to  them  for 
some  reason  unknown  to  me.  I  unfortunately  became  confined  to  my  room  a  couple  of  weeks  ago, 
and  while  in  that  condition  it  seems  that  my  associate  Commissioners  have  given  up  our  office  and 
have  removed  all  the  books,  papers,  etc.,  including  those  maps,  to  some  place  unknown  to  me.  I 
have  made  several  attempts,  without  success,  to  have  the  maps  placed  where  there  use  would  be 
available  to  me  in  this  matter;  and  my  exertions  have  only  resulted  in  begetting  somewhat  unreliable 
information  that  the  maps  are  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  Commissioner  Smith.  I  sent  a  messenger  ta 
Mr.  Smith  some  nine  or  ten  days  ago,  when  informed  that  he  was  the  likely  custodian  of  the  map.s , 
but  my  messenger  neither  obtained  the  maps,  information  concerning  them,  or  any  satisfactory 
reply  about  them.  I  have  also  requested  the  Secretary  of  the  Commissioners  to  secure  me  the 
use  of  the  maps,  and  was  equally  unsuccessful  in  obtaining  a  satisfactory  answer  from  him.  Hia 
answer  to  me  I  attach  hereto  for  your  information.  "Without  further  details  I  respectfully  request 
your  honorable  Board  to  order  that  the  duplicate  maps  be  so  placed  that  I  may  be  allowed  |he  free 
use  thereof,  and  that  an  extension  of  ten  (10)  days  be  allowed  me  for  the  filing  of  my  report,  after 
the  maps  are  thus  placed  accessible  to  me  for  use.  *  *  * 

Respectfully,  . 

D.  J.  OULLAHAN.

munications to  the  Board,  filed  a  report  on  July  29,  1889,  showing  his  estimate  of  the  value  of  the

Mortenetti,  P.  T.  Seculovich,  M.  Heifernan,  by  his  attorney,  H.  Cameron  King,  and  J.  C.  H. 
Matthai,  by  his  attorney,  H.  E.  Highton,  were  heard,  thereupon  further  hearing  was  postponed, 
•until  Thursday  forenoon,  September  19, 1889,  at  9  o'clock,  at  which  time  the  Board  met  to  hear  all 
persons  who  had  filed  written  objections.  The  following  is  an  extract  from  the  minutes  of  the 
Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  above  date  : 

"The  Board  then  proceeded  to  hear  and  consider  the  objections  to  the  confirmation  of  the 
report  of  the  Commissioners  in  the  matter  of  the  widening  of  Mission  street. 

"  The  following  named  parties,  Matthew  Ashe,  William  Byrnes,  Sophie  E.  Collins,  C.  E.  Counter 
Michael  Fay,  Michael  Hefernan,  Ernest  Mietzsch,  John  C.  H.  Matthai,  J.  W.  Pfeiffer,  Mary 
Pfeiffer,  by  F.  B.  Walter,  P.  Reilly,  John  Watt,  P.  C.  Seculovich,  Frank  Foppiani,  A.  Whiteside, 
objectors  to  the  confirmation  of  the  report  of  the  Commissioners  appeared,  their  written  objection 
read,  and  each  were  heard  orally  as  to  the  matters  complained  of. 

"•Messrs.  John  J.  Haley  and  George  Law  Smith,  two  of  the  Commissioners,  and  their  attorneys 
Messrs.  Morrison  and  Dangerfield,  who  were  present,  were  also  heard. 

"M.  A.  McCloskey,  and  N.  McConaghy,  and  Dr.  M.  A.  McLaughiiu,  property  owners  affected  by 
the  report  and  assessment  who  had  not  filed  any  written  objections,  were  also  heard  in  reference  to 
the  report  and  assessment. 

'  'At  12:35  P.  M.  the  Board  took  a  recess  until  2  o'clock. 

"  The  Board  re-assembled  at  2  o'clock,  all  the  members  as  before  being  present. 

"  The  Chan-man  stated  that  it  was  the  intention  of  the  members  of  the  Board  to  visit  the 
premises  of  the  objectors  affected  by  the  widening  of  Mission  street,  for  the  purpose  of  making  an 
examination  to  aid  in  the  determination  of  the  objections  raised,  on  next  Saturday  forenoon  at 
10  o'clock.  The  Board  then  proceeded  to  hear  the  Commissioners  as  to  the  respective  assessments 
made,  the  objectors  in  every  case  being  allowed  to  examine  and  propound  questions  affecting  their 
property  and  its  valuation.  George  Law  Smith,  one  of  the  Commissioners,  made  statements  as  to  the 
measure  of  damages  and  benefits  and  the  mode  of  ascertaining  and  determining  the  same,  adopted 
by  the  Commission  as  shown  in  the  report,  in  all  the  cases  where  written  objections  had  been  made 
and  generally  as  to  all  other  property  interested  and  affected  by  the  proceeding,  and  was  heard  on 
the  report  and  assessment  made  on  the  property  of  Matthew  Ashe,  Win.  Byrne,  Sophie  E.  Collins, 
John  Collins,  C.  E.  Counter,  Michael  Fay,  Michael  Heffernan,  Ernest  Mietzsch,  Jefferson  Martinet, 
James  Mulcahy,  J.  W.  Pfeiffer,  Mary  Pfeiffer,  Jno.  C.  H.  Matthai,  P.  Reilly,  P.  C.  Seculovich, 
Frank  Foppiani  and  A.  Whiteside. 

' '  In  addition  J.  B.  Whitcomb,  Esq.,  a  real  estate  agent  in  the  city  and  county  for  25  years,  and 
familiar  with  the  values  of  real  estate  affected,  was  called,  sworn  and  testified  as  to  the  value  of  the 
property  taken  in  each  case,  also  stated  that  the  amounts  allowed  by  the  Commission  were,  in  most 
cases,  liberal  allowances,  and  all  were  relatively  correct.  Messrs.  Henry  Cheser,  Charles  Quinn  and 
Henry  C.  Robinson,  experts  employed  by  the  Commission  to  appraise  the  damages  to  buildings  and 
i  mprovements  arising  from  the  widening  of  Mission  street,  were  called,  sworn  and  testified  in  each 


304  MISSION  STREET  WIDENING. 

case,  and  stated  that  they  were  willing  to  give  bonds,  and  make  all  the  alterations,  removals  and? 
repairs  to  all  the  improvements  on  the  line  of  said  extension  for  the  amount  which  they  had 
appraised,  the  work  to  be  done  in  a  first-class  manner.  Charles  G.  Shipman,  by  his  attorney,  Jos. 
M.  Wood,  claimed  that  there  was  due  his  client  for  the  grading  and  macadamizing  of  Mission  street 
prior  to  these  proceedings,  the  sum  of  $16,865.00  on  unpaid  assessments,  the  collection  of  which  had 
been  defeated  by  a  decision  of  the  Court;  also,  that  as  the  property  owners  had  the  benefit  of  the 
work,  this  amount  should  be  assessed  against  the  property  affected  by  the  widening  and  paid. 

"  The  objections  of  J.  B.  Taubman  being  withdrawn  were  not  considered. 

"  H.  W.  Kelly  and  I.  T.  Milliken,  property  owners  and  representing  property  affected,  were  also 
heard  in  reference  to  the  assessments  made  and  the  mode  adopted  to  ascertain  and  determine  values, 

"All  parties  desiring  being  heard  and  their  cases  being  submitted,  the  Board  took  the  matter 
under  consideration,  the  members  resolving  to  view  the  property  affected  on  Saturday  the  21st." 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  held  on  September  23,  1889,  the  Committee  on  Streets  reported 
that  the  objections  to  the  report  of  the  Commissioners  had  engaged  the  attention  of  the  Board 
since  its  last  meeting,  and  that  after  hearing  all  objectors  the  Committee  had,  in  conjunction  with 
the  other  members  of  the  Board,  viewed  the  premises.  Also,  that  certain  modifications  and 
amendments  to  the  report  of  the  Commissioners  had  been  agreed  upon  by  the  Board  which  the 
Committee  endorsed  and  recommended. 

The  following  action,  as  shown  by  Resolution  No.  2423  (Third  Series),  was  thereupon  taken,  the 
Report  amended  and  as  amended  confirmed,  and  a  certified  copy  of  the  Report  ordered  transmitted 
to  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Streets  and  to  the  County  Recorder :

Financial  Exhibit  and  Revenue  Orders, 


On  June  8,  1889,  an  estimate  of  the  revenue  and  expenditures  for  the  fiscal  year  commencing 
July  1,  1889,  and  ending  June  30,  1890,  was  filed  in  the  Clerk's  office  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  by 
the  Hon.  Fleet  F.  Strother,  Auditor.  The  total  expenditures  were  placed  at  $4,391,025,  of  which 
$1,541,025  was  estimated  to  be  derived  from  other  sources  than  taxes,  leaving  the  amount  of 
12,853,000  to  be  raised  by  taxation.  The  levy  was  estimated  by  the  Auditor  at  one  dollar  on  each 
one  hundred  dollars  valuation  of  property  on  an  estimated  valuation  of  two  hundred  and  eighty- 
five  millions  of  dollars  of  real  and  personal  property  in  the  city  and  county  liable  to  taxation. 

The  following  communication  accompanied  the  Auditor's  estimate  : 


!CO,   \ 


COMMUNICATION  OF  THE  AUDITOR. 

CITY  AND  COUNTY  OF  SAN  FRANCISCO, 
AUDITOR'S  OFFICE, 

SAN  FRANCISCO,  June  8, 
To  the  Honorable  *A«  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  :  In  compliance  with  the  customary  usage  of  this  department  I  have  the  honor  to 
transmit  an  estimate  of  the  revenue  and  expenditures  of  the  municipal  government  for  the  fiscal 
year  1889,  ending  June  30,  1890. 

The  expenditures  of  the  government  are  estimated  at  the  sum  of  $4391,025,  of  which  $2,850,000  is 
estimated  to  be  derived  from  taxation,  and  $1,541,025  from  other  sources. 

The  amount  of  real  and  personal  property  liable  to  assessment  has  been  estimated  by  the  As- 
essor  to  aggregate  $288,009,000,  of  which  as  a  safe  basis,  taking  into  consideration  the  marked  in- 
crease in  former  years,  this  department  made  the  estimate  on  $285,000,000. 

The  pledge  exacted  by  the  platform  under  which  the  candidates  to  the  legislative  department 
and  other  branches  of  the  government  were  chosen  by  the  people,  limited  the  amount  to  be  raised 
by  taxation  to  the  sum  of  $2,300,000.  and  while  other  pledges  were  exacted  they  necessarily  were 
subordinated  to  this  all-important  pledge,  which  guaranteed  and  assured  taxpayers  of  economy  and 
fixed  the  maximum  beyond  which  no  levy  could  be  made.  This  procedure,  somewhat  criticised  in 
determining  the  amount  of  tax,  and  the  absence  of  any  increasing  debt  under  the  wise  provisions  of 
our  charter,  has  been  a  great  benefit  in  stimulating  enterprise  and  fixing  values  by  protecting  our 
citizens  from  erratic  and  impulsive  action  on  the  part  of  legislators,  and  as  a  consequence  extrava- 
gant or  unwise  expenditures  for  some  imaginary  or  ill-digested  scheme,  which  at  the  time  of  the 
levy  might  seem  to  meet  public  favor. 

As  the  people's  representatives  it  follows  that  when  a  code  of  principles  are  enunciated  by  a 
political  party  and  the  people  indorse  them  by  electing  their  candidates  to  office,  their  behest  must 
be  observed  and  complied  with— that  is  popular  government  and  is  the  will  of  the  people. 

In  calling  attention  to  the  expressed  desire  of  the  people  it  is  simply  for  the  purpose  of  express- 
ng  the  inability  of  this  department  to  comply  with  the  demands  for  increased  appropriations  of  the 
various  departments,  and  to  show  that  but  for  pledges  in  lieu  of  $2,300,000,  being  raised  by  taxation 
$3,000,000,  would  not  suffice  to  provide  fcr  what  are  represented  to  be  urgent  necessary  and  reason 
iiLle  expenditure* 


328  FINANCIAL  EXHIBIT  AND 

This  department,  therefore,  in  adjusting  the  estimates  has  provided  for  the  expenditures  to  be 
raised  by  taxation  on  $285,000,000  valuation  as  follows : 

For  general  expenses  on  the  limit  of  $1.00  on  230  millions $0.79.72  or  $2,272,020 

For  expenditures  outside  of  the  limit— 

For  interest  accounts  and  sinking  funds 0.07.28  or      207,480 

For  New  City  Hall 0.10.00  or      285,000 

For  Golden  Gate  Park,  extra  amount  increased  by  the  Legislature 0.03.00  or        85,500 


Total $1.00.00  or  82,850,000 

It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  notice  that  the  total  revenue  for  the  Golden  Gate  Park  thus  raised  by 
taxation  amounts  to  $160,000,  and  this  amount  is  claimed  by  the  Board  of  Park  Commissioners  as 
requisite  for  the  increased  area  of  the  Park  to  be  improved,  to  maintain  the  present  improvements 
and  create  greater  facilities  and  accommodation  for  the  public.  This  amount  will  also  enable  the 
Commissioners  to  take  measures  for  the  improvement  of  Buena  Vista  Park,  the  Mountain  Lake 
reservation  and  Point  Lobos  road,  all  of  which  have  been  placed  under  their  jurisdiction. 

Some  of  the  principal  appropriations  increased  by  levy  over  those  of  last  year  may  be  summarized 
as  follows : 

New  City  HaU $  35,000 

Free  Public  Library 4,000 

House  of  Correction 3,00Q 

Expense  of  additional  Police  Court 12,100 

Police  Patiol 17,000 

Fire  Department 50,000 

Street  Department 100,000 

Golden  Gate  Park 85,000 

School  Department -. 40,000 

In  connection  with  the  increase  of  $40,000  to  the  School  Department  Fund  over  the  levy  of  last 
year,  it  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  owing  to  the  faulty  census  of  school  children  last  year,  in  addi- 
tion to  providing  for  deficiency  caused  thereby  out  of  the  surplus  funds  at  the  close  of  the  present 
•seal  year,  the  present  census  jnst  completed  makes  a  difference  of  about  $75,000  less  to  be  received 
from  the  State,  thus  practically  making  an  increase  of  $115,000  to  be  raised  by  taxation.  The 
amount  estimated  to  be  raised  from  the  State  and  other  sources  than  by  taxation  being  estimated 
by  this  department  at  the  sum  of  $620,000.  In  submitting  the  accompanying  estimate  for  the  con- 
sideration of  your  Honorable  Board,  it  simply  shows  the  action  of  tbis  department  on  the  numerous 
and  urgent  appeals  to  increase  the  appropriations.  With  the  desire  to  amply  provide,  within  the 
pledge,  for  all  proper  and  useful  requirements,  it  does  not  seem  particularly  to  be  the  disposition  of 
any  department  to  reduce  estimates,  therefore  it  devolves  upon  your  Honorable  Board  to  alter  or 
approve  the  estimates  thus  presented  for  your  information  and  guidance. 

A  wise  and  prudent  discrimination  of  the  many  sources  of  expenditures,  with  the  disposition  to 
make  retrenchments  where  it  can  be  done  without  detriment  to  the  public  service,  is  desired  by  the 
people,  especially  this  year,  when  it  is  anticipated  that  the  rate  of  taxation  for  State  purposes  will  be 
argely  increased,  and  such  action  judiciously  exercised  will  redound  to  the  credit  of  the  present 
administration  and  to  the  political  party  whose  representatives  have  been  charged  with  this  duty. 
I  remain,  gentlemen,  yours,  very  respectfully, 

FLEET  F.  STROTHER, 

Auditor. 

On  June  10,  1889,  the  estimate  received  from  the  Auditor  was  referred  by  the  Board  of  Super- 
visors to  the  Finance  Committee  (consisting  of  Supervisors  Boyd,  Bush  and  Becker),  which  committee 
held  several  meetings  for  the  purpose  of  adjusting  the  subdivisions  of  the  various  funds  to  meet  the 
wants  of  the  respective  departments  and  so  as  to  keep  the  rate  of  taxation  within  the  pledge 
exacted  not  to  raise  in  the  aggregate  any  greater  amount  than  $2,300,000. 

On  June  17, 1889,  the  Finance  Committee  having  completed  their  labors,  presented  the  following 
eport,  submitting  an  order  fixing  the  levy  at  $1.00  on  each  one  hundred  dollars  valuation  of  property 


KEVENUE   ORDERS.  329 

REPORT   OF   THE   FINANCE   COMMITTEE. 
To  the  Honorable  the  Board  of  Supervisors 

Of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco: 

GENTLEMEN  Your  Finance  and  Auditing  Committee,  to  whom  was  referred  the  Auditor's 
estimate  of  revenue  and  expenditures  for  the  fiscal  year  1889,  in  which  the  gross  expenditures  are 
estimated  at  $4,391,025  of  which  $2,850,000  are  to  be  raised  by  taxation  and  the  remainder  from  fines, 
fees,  licenses  and  other  sources,  would  respectfully  report  that  as  the  members  of  this  Board  stand 
pledged  to  the  performance  of  duties  in  connection  with  expenditures,  it  is  considered  proper  that 
these  obligations  should  be  enumerated  in  order  to  show  the  propriety  of  the  recommendations  of 
your  committee  and  justify  the  action  to  be  taken  by  your  honorable  Board  in  determining  the 
amount  of  taxation  to  be  imposed, 

The  paramount  pledge  restricts  the  tax  to  be  levied  to  $1  on  each  §100  valuation  of  assessable 
property  on  a  total  of  $230,000,000.  This  is  understood  to  be  and  is  for  city  and  county  purposes 
outside  and  independent  of  the  amount  designated  by  law  and  required  for  the  construction  of  the 
New  City  Hall,  interest  accounts  and  sinking  fuuds  of  the  funded  debt,  and  any  subsequent  addi- 
tional municipal  purpose  which  may  be  imposed  by  the  Legislature, 

The  specific  pledges  obligating  this  Board  to  make  certain  appropriations  are  as  follows: 

First- For  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  a  Police  Patrol  Service. 

Second— For  the  removal  of  the  Small-pox  Hospital  to  a  more  suitable  location. 

Third -To  establish  and  maintain  additional  hydrants  and  other  necessary  appliances  to  promote 
the  efficiency  of  the  Fire  Department. 

Fourth— To  provide  $50,000  more  for  general  expenses  of  the  School  Department  than  was  pro- 
vided last  year. 

Fifth— To  provide  for  payment  to  the  teachers  and  employees  of  the  School  Department 
$28,530,  being  half  of  one  month's  salary  due  the  same. 

Sixth— For  the  Street  Department  $100,000  more  than  the  appropriation  made  for  the  present 
year. 

With  these  pledges  in  view,  also  the  additional  obligations  imposed  by  the  last  Legislature,  your 
Committee  amended  some  of  the  estimates  for  municipal  purposes  as  made  by  the  Auditor,  em- 
braced in  the  General  and  Special  Fee  Funds,  with  the  f  ollowing  result,  to  wit.  : 

GENERAL  AND  SPECIAL  FEE  FUNDS. 

Advertising  for  Municipal  Offices— Tne  amount  estimated  has  been  increased  from  $3,800  to 
$5,000,  the  increase  of  $1,200  being  barely  sufficient  to  meet  the  cost  of  advertising  notices  of  the 
Assessor,  Tax  Collector,  License  Collector,  Auditor  and  Treasurer,  and  other  notices  of  departments 
required  to  be  published  pursuant  to  law. 

Burials  of  Indigent  Dead— The  amount  estimated  has  been  increased  from  $2,500  to  $5,000,  the 
increase  of  $2,500  being  required  to  meet  the  cost  of  interments,  which,  by  the  present  contract,  is 
$7.40  for  each  interment,  as  against  $4.99  under  the  former  contract. 

Police  Patrol— The  amount  estimated  has  been  increased  from  $17,000  to  $20,000.  The  increase 
of  $3,000  will  aid  in  the  institution  of  this  much  needed  system,  so  strongly  recommended  by  the 
Chief  of  Police,  and  render  more  efficient  the  services  of  our  present  police  force.  From  the  exper- 
ience of  other  cities  this  accessory  to  our  police  system  will  be  of  incalculable  benefit,  and  other 
expenditures,  which  in  its  institution  and  operation  may  be  demonstrated  as  proper,  can  be  met  and 
provided  for  next  fiscal  year.  The  amount  of  $20,000  is  believed  to  be  a  sufficient  appropriation  for 
its  institution  and  maintenance  for  the  fiscal  year  of  1889. 

Subsistence  of  Prisoners— The  amount  estimated  has  been  increased  from  $20,000  to  $25.000.  The 
increase  of  $5,000  is  necessary  to  pay  the  demands  that  will  accrue  under  the  contract.  The  large 
number  of  prisoners  now  and  for  the  past  year  in  the  County  Jail  and  in  the  City  Prison,  including 
in  the  latter  arrested  persons,  have  made  the  estimate  of  last  year— $20,000— wholly  insufficient,  and 
•while  taking  into  consideration  a  probable  decrease  in  the  number  for  the  year  1889,  no  less  an  ap- 
propriation than  $25,000  will  be  sufficient.  The  number  of  prisoners  in  the  County  Jail  will 
average  about  175,  and  in  the  City  Prison  about  150.  The  Hou^e  of  Correction  will  average  about 
330,  but  the  subsistence  of  the  prisoners  therein  confined  is  charged  to  and  paid  out  of  the  House  of 
Correction  Fund. 

Furniture  for  and  Repairs  to  Public  Buildings— The  amount  estimated  has  been  increased  from 
$14,000  to  $16,000.  This  increase  will  barely  afford  sufficient  means  to  meet  the  urgent  wants  of  the 
various  departments  for  furniture,  fixtures  and  fitting  up  additional  accomodations  required  from 


330  FINANCIAL  EXHIBIT  AND 


time  to  time.  The  portion  of  the  New  City  Hall  building  under  the  control  of  your  honorable  Board 
requires  a  large  expenditure  for  alterations  and  ordinary  repairs,  and  for  painting,  whitening  and 
cleaning  court-rooms,  offices,  halls,  etc.,  all  of  which  will  require  to  be  within  the  appropriation 
made. 

•  Lighting  Public  Buildings— The  amount  estimated  has  been  raised  from  $18,000  to  20,000.  This 
additional  amount  of  $2,000  will  be  required  to  pay  the  bills  for  lighting,  based  on  the  expenditure 
for  that  purpose  the  present  year. 

Registration  and  Election  Expenses— The  amount  estimated  haa  been  reduced  from  $2,000  to 
$200.  As  the  levy  provides  for  the  salary  of  the  Registrar  of  Voters,  the  Deputy  and  a  Messenger, 
no  other  expenditures,  in  the  opinion  of  your  committee,  will  be  required  to  justify  any  larger 
appropriation  than  made  in  former  years,  when  no  election  is  to  take  place. 

Stationery  for  Municipal  Offices— $20,000.    Surveyor's  Maps— $5,000. 

The  amount  estimated  has  been  increased  from  $25,000  to  $30,000,  as  follows :  Stationery  for 
municipal  offices  $21,000,  Surveyor's  maps  $2,000,  Transcripts  on  appeal  in  criminal  cases  $5,COO, 
Recorder  (rebinding  books,  etc.)  $2,000.  This  is  a  very  perceptible  increase,  and  is  only  justified  by 
the  imposition  of  another  obligation  by  the  Legislature  under  Section  1246  of  the  Penal  Code, 
wherein  it  is  provided  that  the  County  Clerk  must  within  twenty  days  after  a  notice  of  appeal  is  filed 
in  a  criminal  case,  etc.,  transmit  to  the  Appellate  Court  fifteen  printed  copies  of  the  notice  of  the 
appeal,  the  record,  and  of  all  bills  of  exception,  also  printed  copies  on  defendant's  attorney  and 
Attorney  General  (Statutes  1889,  page  325).  This  marks  out  another  avenue  of  expenditure,  for 
which  it  is  hoped  the  sum  estimated  will  be  sufficient.  The  valuable  maps  belonging  to  the  city  kept 
in  the  office  of  the  Surveyor  are  in  need  of  repairs,  and  in  some  instances  certified  copies  are  required 
to  be  made,  to  preserve  the  information  obtainable  from  them.  Various  of  the  block  books  require 
to  be  reproduced  and  others  bound.  The  sum  of  $2,000,  however,  is  estimated  by  your  Committee 
to  be  sufficient.  The  present  incumbent  is  desirous  of  making  the  maps  and  data  in  his  office  of 
value,  and  has  instituted  and  will  prosecute  the  work  of  making  accurate  and  reliable  maps,  block 
books  and  copies  thereof,  etc  ,  easy  of  reference  and  of  value  to  the  municipality. 

The  amount  of  $2,000  for  the  Recorder's  department  is  to  complete  the  work  of  rebinding  valu 
able  records,  making  certified  copies  of  volumes  which,  from  use,  are  in  bad  condition,  so  that  the 
originals  may  be  filed  away,  and  of  making  certified  copies  of  maps  in  a  similar  condition;  which 
work  has  been  prosecuted  with  marked  ability  and  advantage  for  some  time  past. 

Urgent  Necessity— The  amount  estimated  has  been  increased  from  $27,000  to  $36,000.  As  is  well 
known,  this  is  the  only  subdivision  of  the  General  Fund  which  can  be  used  for  municipal  wants  not 
estimated  for,  and  to  make  up  the  deficiencies  in  other  subdivisions  where  the  appropriations  made 
prove  inadequate,  ard  therefore  it  is  indispensable  that  the  statutory  allowance  should  be  made- 
During  the  past  year  a  portion  of  the  expense  of  the  maintenance  of  the  Smallpox  Hospital,  of 
inspectors  and  employes  ot  the  Boar  1  of  Health  and  employes  of  the  City  Receiving  Hospital, 
demands  for  subsistence  of  prisoners,  etc. .  have  been  met  and  paid,  which,  but  for  this  appro- 
priation would  have  remained  unpaid,  unless  a  surplus  fund  existed  at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year. 

Janitors  of  City  Halls  and  Head  Porter— The  amount  estimated  has  been  reduced  from  $23,040 
to  20,OiJO.  It  is  understood  that  changing  the  location  of  the  departments  from  the  Old  to  the  New 
City  Hall  necessitated  tfoe  employment  of  extra  janitors  to  supervise,  take  care  of  and  keep  clean  the 
various  rooms  and  offices.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the  Committee  on  Public  Buildings  to  so  arrange 
the  duties  of  the  various  janitors  as  to  dispense  with  several  now  employed,  and  thus  reduce  the 
expenditures  for  this  service  in  the  amount  of  the  reduction. 

Fire  Department,  as  per  Order  No.  2044  of  the  Board  ol  Supervisors,  $50,000— 

This  amount  has  been  struck  out,  for  the  reason  that  while  such  order  passed  the  Board,  the 
appointees  thereunder  have  been  rei'used  the  office  and  are  not  exercising  or  performing  any  of  the 
duties  of  Fire  Commissioners.  On  the  contrary,  said  appointees  have  commenced  suit  to  oust  the 
acting  Board  of  Fire  Commissioners,  and  before  the  final  determination  of  this  litigation  the 
Supreme  Court  will  be  called  upon  to  finally  decide  and  determine  the  issue  made.  A  side  issue  by 
the  Governor  of  the  State  appointing  two  Fire  Commissioners  in  lieu  of  two  whose  terms  of  office 
have  expired  will,  if  of  any  effect,  further  protract  a  speedy  settlement.  This  of  itself  renders  a» 
appropriation  unnecessary,  and  in  the  judgment  of  your  committee,  under  the  circumstances  it  i* 
not  well  to  raise  any  question  that  might  jeopardise  the  validity  of  any  portion  or  all  of  the  tax  levy; 


REVENUE  ORDERS.  331 

besides,  it  is  improbable  from  the  history  of  litigation  that  a  final  decision  will  be  rendered  to  allow 
this  Board  to  authorize  any  increased  expenditure  during  the  fiscal  year  1889  that  cannot  be  met 
under  the  appropriations  made. 

AB  your  Honorable  Board  is  aware,  said  Order  No.  2044  does  not  of  itself  impose  any  burden,  but 
is  simply  declaratory  that  this  Board  will,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Board  of  Fire  Commis- 
sioners, make  any  one  or  more  of  the  present  fire  companies  as  now  organized  and  existing,  or  that 
may  be  hereafter  established,  a  full  paid  company  or  companies. 

The  appropriations  made  for  the  Fire  Department  are  as  follows  : 

Material $  30,000  00 

.Running  expenses 80,000  00 

Salaries...  .,  239,340  CO 


Total $349,340  00 

It  is  believed  that  this  appropriation,  with  the  amount  of  the  surplus  accruing  and  not  expended 
this  present  fiscal  year,  will  meet  all  extraordinary  expenses  for  additional  hydrants  and  apparatus 
required  for  the  better  protection  of  the  property  of  our  citizens,  and  render  the  present  department 
all  the  aid  necessary  to  make  it  efficient  to  cope  with  conflagrations. 

The  Relief  of  Aged,  Infirm  or  Disabled  Firemen  -The  amount  of  $2000  has  been  made  for  this 
purpose,  pursuant  to  an  Act  passed  at  the  last  session  of  the  Legislature  (Statutes  1889,  page  108) 
and  in  conformity  with  the  provisions  of  Order  No.  2070,  passed  by  your  honorable  Board. 

For  Burial  of  Indigent  Decedents,  Ex-Union  Soldiers— The  amount  of  $1000  has  been  made  for 
this  purpose  pursuant  to  the  requirements  of  an  Act  passed  at  the  last  session  of  the  Legislature 
(Statutes  1889.  page  198)  which  makes  in  each  of  said  cases  an  expense  of  not  to  exceed  $50  to  be 
borne  by  the  county,  for  the  decent  interment  of  "  the  body  of  any  honorably  discharged  soldier« 
sailor  or  marine  who  served  in  the  army  or  navy  of  the  United  States  during  the  late  war,  or  in  the 
war  with  Mexico,  who  may  die  without  sufficient  means  to  defray  funeral  expenses." 

For  Purchase  of  Lot  and  Erection  of  Building  for  a  Smallpox  Hospital— The  amount  of 
$20,000  has  been  made  for  this  purpose,  in  furtherance  of  the  expressed  pledge  exacted,  and  to 
remove  the  standing  menace  the  present  location  of  the  hospitals  is  to  the  health  and  prosperity  of 
the  residents  in  the  vicinity.  The  amount  has  also  been  recommended  by  the  Committee  on 
Health  and  Police,  and  is  believed  to  be  sufficient.  It  is  contemplated,  as  soort  as  a  suitable 
locality.is  provided,  to  erect  thereon  a  frame  building,  which  is  represented  as  being  more  suitable 
for  the  purpose  than  a  permanent  brick  structure.  This  action  is  imperative,  as  it  is  understood 
that  the  Uuited  States  authorities  in  establishing  a  Quarantine  Station  do  not  contemplate  or 
intend  that  the  City  and  County  shall  have  the  privilege  to  send  persons  there  who  are  unfortunate 
to  contract  smallpox  in  this  county  or  State.  The  Quarantine  Station  and  Hospital  is  to  be  only 
for  those  persons  thus  afflicted  who  arrive  from  outside  the  State. 

The  above  comprise  the  alterations  made  to  the  Auditor's  Estimate  under  the  caption  of  the 
General  and  Special  Fee  Funds,  which  make  the  expenditures  of  the  General  Fund  $2,099,220,  in 
lieu  of  $2,101,360.  The  amount  to  be  realized  from  other  sources  than  taxation  being  estimated  at 
$850,865,  leaves  $1,248, 355  to  be  provided  by  taxation. 

The  alterations  made  in  the  Auditor's  Estimate  making  a  reduction  of  $2140,  being  summarized 
as  follows :

Public  Library— The  fund  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Library  and  the  purchase  of  books  has 
been  increased  from  $32, 000  to  $35,000.  This  has  been  done  to  enable  the  Library  to  meet  the  public 
wants  and  to  increase  its  usefulness,  which,  from  the  patronage  bestowed  and  the  interest  evinced, 
demonstrate  that  its  benefits  are  fully  appreciated.  The  placing  of  valuable  information  within  the 
reach  of  the  people  without  money  and  without  price,  is  of  inestimable  value.  The  Library  is 
successfully  filling  a  prominent  place  as  a  silent  and  effective  educator  of  those  who,  but  for  its 
open  doors  and  accessible  volumes,  would  be  debarred  from  advantages  which  every  public-spirited 
community  should  place  within  the  reach  of  all  its  citizens. 

Park  Improvement  Fund— The  amount  estimated  has  been  reduced  from  $160,000  to  $120,610. 
This  has  been  occasioned  by  the  desire  to  keep  the  total  levy  so  as  not  to  exceed  the  $1  limit  on  the 
$285,000,000  of  assessable  property,  and  for  the  further  reason  that  the  increase  proposed  is 
actually  $45,610  more  than  was  estimated  for  the  Park  when  the  appropriations  for  the  present  fiscal 
year  were  made.  In  the  judgment  of  your  Committee,  that  increase  ought  to  be  sufficient  to  enable 
the  Commissioners  to  keep  in  good  order  and  repair  the  present  improvements,  and  to  project  and 
carry  out  others  equally  needed  for  the  public  use.  Of  this  amount  $35,110  is  provided  outside  the 
pledge,  and  is  only  justified  by  the  power  granted  by  the  last  Legislature  (Statutes  1889,  page  145).  It  is 
equally  true  that  while  the  Act  passed  by  the  last  Legislature  provided  for  levying  an  amount  not 
to  exceed  6  cents  upon  each  $100  valuation  of  property,  and  superseded  and  repealed  all  other  Acts 
inconsistent  therewith,  and  thus  provided  for  increased  expenditures,  it  omitted,  unintentionally  no 
doubt,  the  power  to  the  Chief  Executive  of  the  city  to  approve  or  pass  upon  expenditures.  This 
apparent  omission  will  probably,  however,  have  no  effect  so  far  as  this  city  and  county  is  affected 
for  the  Act  creating  the  Commission  and  defining  its  powers  and  duties  is  supplementary  to  the 
Consolidation  Act,  and  therefore  could  not  supersede  the  power  granted  thereunder  to  the  Chief 
Executive  In  the  performance  of  such  duties.  The  public  park  is  one  of  the  great  features  of  our 
city  and  county,  in  which  all  our  citizens  take  pride,  and  as  long  as  the  funds  provided  are  used  to 
the  best  advantage  with  discretion  and  judgment  there  will  be  no  opposition  to  a  liberal  allowance 
tor  its  improvement. 


REVENUE  ORDERS. 


333 


With  that  view  your  committee  have  sanctioned  an  increase  in  the  sum  of  $35,110,  being  an  in- 
crease by  levy  this  present  year  of  $45,610  over  that  provided  last  year,  believing  it  will  be  justified 
by  our  citizens,  for  while  extreme  views  are  represented  and  have  engaged  public  attention  either  to 
restricting  the  amount  or  to  enlarging  the  same  for  improvements,  it  has  been  deemed  more  con- 
ducive to  a  systematic  and  well  considered  line  of  improvement,  gradually  projected  to  allow  such 
an  amount  as  would  convince  the  Commissioners  that  the  people  simply  desire  improvements  to 
keep  pace  with  their  requirements,  and  for  that  purpose  ample  means  have  been  provided. 

School  Department  Fund— The  amount  estimated  has  been  increased  from  §950,000  to  $960,000. 
it  being  one  of  the  pledges  that  §50,000  more  than  the  appropriation  for  the  present  fiscal  year  should 
be  supplied.  In  furtherance  of  another  obligation  an  additional  amount  of  §28,530  has  been  included 
in  the  levy  to  meet  and  pay  the  teachers  and  employes  one-half  mouth's  salary  due  for  services  ren- 
dered, and  which  the  department  was  unable  to  pay  for  lack  of  funds.  This  expenditure  needs  no 
justification  if  it  be  true  that  the  laborer  is  worthy  of  his  hire.  The  fact  of  the  non-payment  of  the 
teachers  being  considered  discreditable  to  the  city  and  county  for  whom  the  services  were  performed, 
a  pledge  was  exacted  that  this  debt  should  be  provided  for  and  paid.  The  present  levy  provides  the 
following  amounts  for  school  purposes,  which  cannot  but  be  considered  as  liberal  and  fair  as  could 
be  allowed  under  the  restrictions  imposed,  and  {.he  requirements  of  other  branches  of  the  muni' 
cipality : 

School  Fund— 

For  the  maintenance  of  Public  Schools j $£63,000 

For  payment  of  teachers,  etc.,  for  i  mouth's  salary  due 28,530 

General  Fund— 
For  salaries  of  Supt.,  Dept.  Supt.  and  Sec'y  Bd.  of  Education  9,400 

Total  on  account  of  Public  Schools $997,930 

As  heretofore  reported  by  your  committee,  the  unfortunate  selection  of  persons  who  may  be 
designated  as  wholly  irresponsible,  to  take  the  census  of  school  children  for  the  last  fiscal  year  re- 
sulted in  such  a  deficiency  that  it  is  estimated  that  about  $140,000  of  the  surplus  funds,  at  the  end 
of  this  fiscal  year,  will  be  required  to  make  good  the  deficiency  caused  by  the  defective  census  so 
taken. 

In  respect  of  the  results  of  such  an  enumeration  it  would  appear  that  care  should  have  been 
taken  in  the  appointment  of  proper  persons  to  perform  so  important  a  duty,  and  the  responsibility 
of  this  mistake  must  rest  on  the  Board  who  made  such  selections  without  making  due  inquiry  as  to 
the  character  and  capacity  of  the  persons  so  appointed.  From  this  action  the  teachers  and  employes 
of  the  department  have  been  precluded  from  obtaining  their  salaries  when  due,  and  subjected  to 
annoyance  and  cost  by  paying  a  discount  on  their  warrants,  and  thus  obtaining  only  a  portion  of 
what  was  their  due.  This  Board  stands  pledged  to  transfer  from  the  surplus  funds  the  amount 
which  but  for  thus  improper  census  would  have  been  collected  and  placed  to  the  credit  of  the  School 
Department  Fund.  While  it  might  be  reasonably  presumed  that  from  the  amount  of  surplus  funds 
a  sufficient  amount  could  be  spared  to  also  pay  the  back  pay  of  a  prior  year  due  the  teachers,  it  was 
not  deemed  prudent  to  rely  upon  that  contingency,  as  no  reliable  figures  at  this  time  could  be  ob- 
tained to  justify  such  action.  It  was  therefore  deemed  best  to  provide  in  the  levy  for  said  amount, 
so  as  to  secure  payments  of  those  claims  beyond  a  peradventure. 

The  result  of  the  labors  of  your  committee  has  not  altered  the  sum  total  of  the  levy  as  made  by 
the  Auditor,  but  the  various  appropriations  as  reported  have  been  readjusted  ana  allowances  in- 
creased or  diminished  as  the  various  requirements  of  the  departments  demanded.  As  shown  the 
aggregate  amount  of  the  additions  and  reductions  are  the  same  sum  total :

BEVENUE  OBDEBS.  335 

The  pledges  exacted  have  been  complied  with,  and  apart  from  special  pleading  on  behalf  of 
many  appropriations,  there  can  be  no  question  that  they  are  ample.  As  referred  to  by  the  Auditor, 
the  rate  of  taxation  for  State  purposes  will  exceed  that  of  former  years,  and  it  would  not  be  advis- 
ble  or  politic,  if  the  power  existed  to  concede  to  the  desire  for  a  higher  rate  of  taxation  for  city 
and  county  purposes . 

The  Street  Department  this  year  have  au  additional  $100,000,  making  in  all  $360,000  to  be  expended 
in  repairing  and  cleaning  streets,  sewers  and  county  roads,  as  well  as  improving  the  public  squares. 
The  special  object  of  this  additional  appropriation  is  to  improve  the  character  of  our  street  pave- 
ments. While  the  stone  black  pavement  is  the  only  character  of  pavement  that  can  be  accepted 
under  the  General  Orders  of  your  Honorable  Board,  it  would  be  well  to  consider  whether,  on  ac- 
cepted streets  under  charge  of  and  kept  in  repair  by  the  city,  it  would  be  advisable  to  so  pave  as  to 
preserve  a  uniform  and  proper  contour.  To  effect  this,  as  is  the  custom  in  other  cities,  there  ought 
to  be  constructed  a  concrete  foundation,  on  which  the  blocks  should  be  laid  imbedded  in  sand  or 
gravel  and  the  interstices  filled  with  some  material  to  solidly  and  securely  consolidate  them.  The 
immense  saving  in  the  wear  and  tear  of  vehicles,  the  increased  facility  of  hauling  merchandise,  etc., 
or  for  ordinary  travel  would  be  a  decided  advantage,  besides  a  regular  and  uniform  pavement  would 
add  greatly  to  the  appearance  and  improve  the  sanitary  condition  of  the  city. 

Some  of  our  great  thoroughfares,  such  as  Market  street,  should  be  so  paved.  The  latter  street, 
although  accepted  by  the  city  and  county  as  far  west  as  Ninth  street,  has  great  need  of  a  thorough 
reconstruction  of  the  pavement  in  the  manner  intimated.  The  cobble-stones  where  laid,  should  be 
removed  and  a  permanent  pavement  on  a  concrete  foundation  constructed.  Such  a  procedure  would 
require  some  amendments  to  the  General  Orders  of  the  Board  so  as  to  provide  in  the  case  of  the 
excavation  of  a  street  so  paved,  for  gas,  water  or  side  sewer  facilities,  the  opening  of  the  street  and 
the  reconstruction  of  the  foundation  and  pavement  would  require  to  be  done  by  the  Superintendent 
of  Streets  after  notice,  the  cost  to  be  defrayed  by  the  party  applying.  Other  regulations  could  be 
made  to  carry  out  that  view.  This  would  tend  to  prevent  our  streets  from  being  torn  up  and  dis- 
turbed for  trivial  reasons  and  lead  to  the  work  required  being  done  prior  to  the  streets  being  so 
mproved. 

It  ought  to  be  an  axiom  that  street  pavements  should  not  be  a  source  of  danger.  It  is  very 
evident  that  the  cobble-stone  pavement  is,  because  of  the  damage  to  horses  and  the  increased  wear 
and  tear  to  vehicles.  In  many  cases,  from  the  jolting  motion  caused  to  vehicles  in  traveling  over 
cobble  pavements,  serious  accidents  to  persons  driving  have  occurred. 

These  views  are  simply  such  as  occur  to  all  our  citizens.  Tha  reason  why  this  Board  was 
obligated  to  increase  this  appropriation  was  that  it  was  well  known  and  understood  that  the  present 
Superintendent  of  Public  Streets,  possessing  the  confidence  of  the  community  as  to  his  integrity 
and  capability,  would  expend  the  amount  to  the  best  advantage  ;  and  his  experience  and  conduct  of 
that  department  fully  justify  this  assumption. 

As  at  this  time  it  is  impracticable  to  obtain  any  correct  estimate  of  the  surplus  funds  which  wl 
be  available  at  the  close  of  this  fiscal  year,  your   Committee  must  presume  that  it  will  or  ought  to 
aggregate  about  $169,000  from  the  aggregate  assessment  of  property,  as  it  exceeded  by  $23,000,000  the 
amount  estimated  on  which  the  tax  levy  is  based. 

In  addition  to  the  deficiency  in  the  School  Department  Fund  (to  the  extent  of  the  amount  it 
would  have  received  but  for  an  incorrect  census  of  school  children)  other  obligations  are  to  be  met, 
as  some  appropriations  were  not  sufficient,  by  reason  of  expenditures  for  purposes  not  contemplated 
or  provided  for  ;  all  of  which  have  been  referred  to. 

In  conclusion,  your  Committee  desire  to  state  that  in  the  apportionment  of  the  various  amounts 
they  have  considered  and  adjusted  the  same  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  various  branches  of 
the  municipal  government,  and  in  reporting  an  order  fixing  the  tax  levy  at  $1  on  $285,000,000  of 
assessable  property  have  reached  but  not  exceeded  the  limit  of  taxation. 

Your  Committee  further  submit  an  order  providing  for  levying  the  amount  of  $14.35  on  each  $100 
valuation  of  assessable  property  on  the  enhanced  valuation  of  the  property  affected  by  the  widening 
of  Dupont  street,  as  per  estimate  of  the  Auditor,  to  pay  the  interest  and  5  per  cent,  of  the  Dupont 
Btreet  bonds.  CQLIN  M  BQYD

In  response  to  your  Committee  the  Auditor  stated  that  the  difference  in  the  amount  of  the 
appropriation  made  for  the  support  of  the  schools  for  the  fiscal  year  1888  and  the  amount  actually 
received  was  $116,136.51— the  appropriation  being  $910,000,  while  the  amount  paid  into  the  fund  was 
$793,863.49,  this  deficiency  being  caused,  as  your  honorable  Board  has  been  advised,  from  the 
improper  census  of  school  children. 

The  desire  expressed  by  the  members  of  the  Board  at  the  time  of  fixing  the  tax  levy  to  increase 
various  appropriations  could  not  be  carried  out  without  exceeding  the  limit  of  taxation  as  imposed 
upon  and  recognized  by  this  Board,  and  in  the  discussion  that  ensued  the  members  of  your  Committee 
represented  that  in  so  far  as  urgent  wants  were  concerned  some  allowance  could  be  made  for  those 
purposes  out  of  the  Surplus  Fund  of  the  fiscal  year  1888. 


.REVENUE  ORDERS.  343 

In  compliance  therefore  with  those  representations  your  Committee  recommends  the  following 
disposition  of  the  surplus  funds,  which  amount  at  this  date  to  the  sum  of  $150,623.75. 

First.— The  sum  of  $10,000  to  salaries  of  Fire  Department  employes,  making  the  total  for  that 
purpose  $249,340.  As  the  Board  is  aware,  it  was  claimed,  and  justly,  that  the  appropriation 
previously  made  was  insufficient  to  pay  all  the  salaries  contemplated  for  the  fiscal  year  1889:  this 
provision  will  afford  ample  means,  and  enable  the  Department  to  be  placed  on  a  footing  to  fulfill 
all  its  obligations. 

Second.— The  sum  of  $2000  to  the  hospital,  making  the  total  appropriation  for  hospital  purposes 
$72,000.  This,  from  what  has  been  stated  in  reference  to  the  requirements  of  that  institution,  will 
be  a  sufficient  addition.  The  conduct  and  management  of  that  institution  has  been  somewhat 
criticised,  but  whatever  may  be  the  condition,  it  is  believed  that  $6000  per  month  is  a  libera 
allowance,  and  if  expended  with  due  care  and  attention,  and  officers  and  employes  are  required  to 
devote  their  time,  labor  and  at\ention  to  their  duties,  under  efficient  supervision,  no  complaints 
will  arise  of  insufficiency  of  means. 

Third.— The  sumof  $2000  to  the  House  of  Correction,  making  the  total  appropriation  $43,000. 
The  work  contemplated  by  the  Superintendent  of  the  House  of  Correction  to  be  done  by  the  labor 
of  the  inmates  of  that  institution  on  the  county  roads,  etc.,  will,  by  this  additional  means,  give  the 
desired  opportunity  to  employ  a  larger  number  of  inmates  than  otherwise  would  be  the  case. 

Fourth— The  sum  of  $4,000  to  the  Police  Patrol,  making  the  total  appropriation  for  the  institu- 
tion of  that  important  system  $24,000.  As  this  will  be  an  important  adjunct  to  the  police  force, 
there  ought  to  be  no  delay  in  getting  the  appliances  and  putting  it  into  operation  as  soon  as  practic 
able.  It  is  understood— from  information  derived  from  Eastern  cities  and  from  some'  persona^ 
knowledge— the  Chief  of  Police  is  ready  to  make  recommendations  and  submit  information  regard- 
ing the  institution  of  the  Police  Patrol  system. 

Fifth  -The  sum  of  $2,000  to  that  subdivision  of  the  General  Fund  for  furniture  and  for  repairs 
to  public  buildings,  making  the  total  appropriation  $18,000.  The  demands  for  repairs,  fixtures  and 
fitting  up  rooms  and  offices,  for  furniture,  cleaning  and  painting  render  this  addition  indispensable . 
The  requirements  of  the  courts  are  often  mandatory,  and  from  experience  it  appears  to  be  the 
•cheapest  course  to  accede  to  the  demands,  for  orders  of  court,  however  extraordinary  they  may  be, 
must  be  obeyed. 

Sixth— The  sum  of  $9,416.86  for  payment  of  miscellaneous  bills,  embracing  $2,554.98  for  subsist- 
ance  of  prisoners  ;  $1,171.80  for  lighting  certain  public  buildings ;  $929  for  care  of  girls  committed  to 
the  Magdalen  Asylum ;  $700  for  hose  wagon  and  apparatus  for  the  Fire  Department ;  $725  for 
disinfectorfor  City  and  County  Hospital ;  $693.50  for  payment  of  judgment  in  favor  of  E.  W.  Burr. 
Police  Court  fines  and  forfeitures ;  $2,405  to  Home  for  the  Care  of  the  Inebriate  ;  $93  to  the  Society 
for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to  Animals  ;  $45  to  the  Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to 
Children,  and  $129.58  for  sundry  bills.  The  status  for  these  bills  has  been  previously  reported  on  by 
your  committee. 

Seventh— The  sum  of  $2,000  to  P.  W.  Riordan,  Archbishop  for  the  removal  of  the  bodies  of  the 
decedents  interred  in  Sixteenth  street.  This  the  Board  obligated  itself  to  pay,  citizens  having  pur- 
•chased  the  land  and  conveyed  it  to  the  city  and  county  as  an  extension  of  said  street  between 
Church  and  Dolores  street. 

Eighth— The  sum  of  $1,000  for  stationery,  making  the  total  appropriation  $22,000  outside  of 
amounts  for  Recorder,  Surveyor  and  County  Clerk  heretofore  reported  upon.  From  the  demands 
heretofore  presented  this  addition  will,  it  is  hoped,  be  ample  to  meet  the  wants  of  the  various 
departments. 

Ninth— The  sum  of  $2,040,38  to  the  Street  Light  Fund,  making  the  total  appropriation  $252,040,38 
which  amount  tfill  enable  the  lights  lately  ordered  by  your  honorable  Board  and  erected  in  China- 
town to  be  maintained.  As  this  fund  was  curtailed  to  cover  the  actual  expense  incurred,  this 
addition  is  required  to  enable  the  committee  having  this  matter  in  charge  to  make  such  additions  as 
may  be  urgent  on  the  discontinuance  of  gas  lamps  now  erected  where  electric  lights  have  been 
placed. 

Tenth— The  sum  of  $116,136.51  to  the  School  Department  Fund,  being  the  difference  between 
the  appropriation  made  for  the  support  of  the  schools  for  the  fiscal  year  1888  and  the  amount 
actually  received. 

Your  committee  beg  respectfully  to  state  that  the  Board  of  Education,  a  co-ordinate  branch  of 
of  the  municipal  government,  charged  with  the  conduct  and  management  of  our  common  schools,  is 
bound  like  other  departments  to  a  strict  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  the  statutes  regulating 
the  expenditure  of  the  public  moneys.  The  sum  of  $910,000  was  appropriated  for  the  support  of  the 
schools,  and  with  this  allowance,  that  amount  will  be  received  for  the  fiscal  year  1888. 


344  FINANCIAL  EXHIBIT  AND 

Without  at  all  attempting  to  obtrude  any  views  upon  the  management  of  the  schools,  it  is  well 
to  remember  that  while  the  Board,  of  Education  may  be  correct  as  to  the  institution  and  carrying  on 
the  branches  of  higher  education;  and  while  they  apparently  possess  the  power,  yet  as  it  has  become 
a  custom  and  a  practice  to  restrict  the  amount  to  be  expended  for  educational  purposes,  it  might  be 
well  to  conform  to  the  provisions  of  the  statute  and  the  obligations  imposed  by  restrictive  pledges . 
•  Such  a  course  would  result  at  least  in  keeping  expenditures  within  the  amount  allowed,  and  if  the 
people  desired  higher  branches  of  education  placed  within  the  reach  of  our  youth,  they  would  evince 
that  desire  in  the  election  of  the  candidates  nominated  for  a  Board  of  Education  who  would  be 
pledged  to  an  expenditure  to  warrant  the  establishment  or  maintenance  of  such  public  schools.  As 
is  well  known,  the  money  derived  from  the  State  cannot  be  used  but  for  primary  and  grammar 
grades.  It  follows  that  the  Board  of  Education,  in  appropriations  of  money  for  the  support  of  the 
schools,  should  provide  to  the  extent  of  the  means  allowed  and  no  more.  If  the  people  thereafter 
evince  a  desire  for  higher  educational  facilities  than  can  be  provided  by  the  means  allowed,  then  they 
will  so  declare  and  their  representatives  will  be  so  instructed. 

Your  committee  are  led  to  so  express  the  nature  of  the  obligations  devolving  upon  public  officers 
for  the  reason  that  it  appears  a  further  indebtedness  of  $36,026.47  has  been  incurred,  for  which  this 
Board  has  no  power  and  no  funds  to  provide  for. 

The  following  is  an  exhibit  of  the  surplus  funds  at  this  date  and  the  purposes  to  which  said 
funds  are  to  be  applied

$150,623  75 

In  order  to  carry  out  the  recommendations  of  your  committee  resolutions  will  be  introduced 
providing  for  the  transfer  to  the  Surplus  Fund  of  1888  of  $96,959.01  from  the  General  Fund  ;  $225.15 
from  the  Special  Fee  Fund;  $25,006.18  from  the  Street  Department  Fund ;  $25,816.74  from  the 
Street  Light  Fund,  and  $2,616.67  from  the  Disinterment  Fund,  a  total  as  above  of  $150,623.75  ;  also 
directing  tho  Treasurer  to  pay  out  of  said  Surplus  Funds  the  miscellaneous  demands  allowed, 
amounting  to  $9,446.86,  and  tlie  sum  of  $2,000  for  the  removal  of  the  bodies  of  decedents  from  Six- 
teenth street;  also  to  transfer  from  the  Surplus  Fund,  so  created,  the  sum  of  $116,136.51  to  the 
School  Department  Fund  of  1888;  the  sum  of  $2,010.38  to  the  Street  Light  Fund  of  1889;  the  sum  of 
$1,000,  for  stationery,  to  the  Special  Fee  Fund  of  1889,  and  the  remaining  sum  of  $20,000  to  the 
General  Fuud  of  1889  for  the  various  subdivisions  of  said  fund  as  recited,  and  requiring  the  Auditor 
to  tak;;  notice  of  aud  cairy  out  the  said  provisions  by  crediting  the  same  upon  his  books  to  the 
•various  funds  and  subdivisions  of  the  General  Fund  as  enumerated. 

In  conclusion  your  committee  desire  to  state  that  by  the  transfers  $23,040.38  recommended  to 
the  funds  of  the  fiscal  year  1889,  the  estimated  expenditures  will  aggregate  $4,414,065.38,  which  are 
amply  provided  for.  In  addition  from  the  actual  increase  of  the  valuation  of  taxable  property  by 
twenty  millions  over  wh  it  was  estimated  upon  which  the  tax  levy  was  based,  the  additi.  nal  sum  of 
$200,000  will  bi  raised  by  taxation  to  the  credit  of  the  different  funds  and  accounts  as  follows  : 

General  Fund $87,600  00 

Street  Light  Fund 17,540  00 

Street  Department  Funi 23,520  00 

School  Fund 25,860  0(X

Interest  Ac  .-ouiits  and  Sinking  Fund 14,560  00 

T.tal  additional  revenue....  .      $200,00000 


REVENUE  ORDERS.  345 

Of  this  amount  your  honorable  Board  has  only  the  supervision  and  control  of  the  increase  in 
the  General,  Street  Light  and  Street  Department  Funds,  aggregating  $128,660,  and  then  only  of  the 
balance  unexpended  at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year,  the  remaining  amount  not  being  under  th  e  con- 
trol of  the  Board,  but  belonging  to  the  several  funds  and  accounts  as  apportioned  by  the  tax  levy. 

Adding  this  amount  of  $200,030  to  the  expenditures  for  the  fiscal  year  1889  will  make  the  aggre- 
gate amount  of  $4,614,065.38  available  for  expenditures. 

The  exhibit  herein  made  fully  justifies  the  position  taken  by  your  Finance  Committee  in  op- 
posing any  increase  of  the  tax  levy,  and  it  must  be  apparent  that  ample  means  have  be.  n  provided 
if  the  obligations  devolving  upon  municipal  officers  are  observed.

On  August  24, 1889,  a  notice  was  received  from  the  Hon.  State  Board  of  Equalization  (consisting 
of  C.  E.  Wilcoxon,  Jno.  T.  Gaffey,  Gordon  E.  Sloss,  L.  C.  Morehouse  and  Jno.  P.  Dunn),  stating  that 
after  an  examination  of  the  assessments  upon  the  assessment  book,  the  Board  proposed  to  increase 
the  entire  assessment  roll,  and  setting  the  time  for  hearing  representatives  of  the  city: 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  STATE  BOARD  OF  EQUALIZATION. 
OFFICE  OP  STATE  BOARD  OF  EQUALIZATION, 

SACRAMENTO,  August  24,  1885 
JNO.  A.  RUSSELL,  Esq., 

Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  : 

SIR  :  Please  take  notice,  and  inform  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San 
Francisco  that  the  State  Board  of  Equalization,  having  examined  the  assessments  upon  the  assess- 
ment book  or  roll  for  the  year  1889,  for  said  county,  proposes  to  increase  the  entire  assessment  roll 
or  book  of  said  county  for  said  year,  except  such  property  as  is  exempt  from  increase  for  the  purpose 
of  making  the  assessments  conform  to  the  true  value,  in  money,  of  the  property  contained  on  said 
roll,  so  as  to  equalize  the  value  of  the  taxable  property  of  the  several  counties  in  the  State  for  the 
purpose  of  taxation. 

The  Board  will  consider  all  objections  which  may  be  made  to  such  increase,  at  its  office  in  the 
Capitol,  at  Sacramento,  on  Monday,  the  ninth  day  of  September,  1889,  between  the  hours  of  9  A.  M.

was  adopted,  appointing  the  officers  named  to  represent  the  city  and  county  before  the  State  Board 
of  Equalization,  to  wit : 

RESOLUTION  No.  2352  (Third  Series). 

WHEREAS,  Notice  has  been  received  from  the  honorable  State  Board  of  Equalization  that  they

county,  the  reasons  why  the  said  assessment  book  should  not  be  increased. 

On  September  9,  1889.  his  Honor,  Mayor  Pond,   Assessor  J.  C.  Nealon,  Esq.,  Deputy  Assessor

FINANCIAL  EXHIBIT  AND 


A.  D.  Miesegaes,  Esq. ,  and  the  Finance  Committee  appeared  before  the  State  Bfcard  of  Equalization, 
and  claimed  a  reduction  of  the  assessment  for  State  purposes  as  a  simple  act  of  justice  to  the  city 
and  county  of  San  Francisco. 

The  following  table,  prepared  by  Supervisor  Bush  of  the  Finance  Committee,  showing  the 
aggregate  assessment  of  the  various  counties  throughout  the  State  for  the  fiscal  years  1888  and  1889- 
with  the  increase  or  decrease  of  assessments  for  the  fiscal  year  1889  as  compared  with  the  assessment 
of  the  year  1888,  was  furnished  and  as  an  exhibit  of  the  valuation  of  property  is  herewith  reproduced

After  consideration  the  State  Board  of  Equalization  ordered  a  five  per  cent,  reduction  of  the 
assessed  value  of  property  (not  otherwise  exempt)  assessed  on  the  assessment  roll  of  real  and 
personal  property  of  this  city  and  county  for  the  fiscal  year  1889. 

The  following  communication  from  the  State  Board  notifying  the  Auditor  of  said  action  being 
received  on  September  15,  1889 : 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  STATE  BOARD  OF  EQUALIZATION. 

OFFICE  OF  STATE  BOARD  OF  EQUALIZATION,  ^ 

SACRAMENTO,  September  14, 1889.    JT 
To  FLEET  F.  STROTHER,  Esq., 

Auditor  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco, 

SIR  :  Please  take  notice  that  on  the  12th  day  of  September,  1S89,  the  State  Board  of  Equaliza- 
tion ordered  that  the  entire  assessment  roll  for  1889  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  be 


348  FINANCIAL  EXHIBIT  AND 

decreased  by  deducting  from  the  valuation  of  all  property  listed  therein,  except  mortgages,  deeds  of. 
trust,  contracts  or  other  obligations  by  which  a  debt  is  secured,  money  and  solvent  credits,  and  the 
apportionment  of  railroads  assessed  by  this  Board,  five  cents  on  each  one  dollar  of  such  valuation, 
where  the  assessment  of  property  affected  by  a  mortgage,  etc.,  and  the  mortgage  are  the  same  valu- 
ation the  five  per  cent  must  be  deducted  from  both  the  valuations  of  property  and  mortgage. 

Respectfully  yours, 

C.  E.  WILCOXSON, 
E.  W.  MASLIN,  Clerk.  Chairman. 

The  Auditor  proceeded  to  make  the  decrease  in  the  Assessment  Book  as  ordered.  In  case 
.where  two  mortgages  existed,  aggregating  the  assessed  value  of  the  property,  the  Auditor  proposed 
to  make  the  reductions  on  both,  presuming,  there  being  no  special  rule  of  which  he  had  been 
advised  to  the  contrary,  that  the  five  per  cent,  reductions  should  be  deducted  as  per  instrucs 
ions  of  the  State  Board  of  Equalization,  and  was  applicable  to  the  cases  wherein  two  mortgages 
were  assessed  the  same  amount  as  the  real  property.  The  assessed  valuation  of  such  mortgages  being 
wholly  independent  of  their  true  value  in  case  of  supposed  contingencies,  being  based  for  assess- 
ment purposes  on  the  assessed  value  of  the  realty. 

This  mode  of  making  deductions,  in  consequence  of  the  following  communication  from  the  State 
Board  of  Equalization,  was  changed,  and  an  equivalent  reduction  made  simply  on  the  second  mort- 
gage, based  on  the  direction  of  and  for  trie  reasons  given  in  the  following  communication  : 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  STATE  BOARD  OF  EQUALIZATION. 

SACRAMENTO,  October  14, 1889. 
FIEET  F.  STROTHER,  ESQ.,  AUDITOR  : 

DEAR  SIR:  We  have  been  informed  that  you  are  following  a  ru'e  in  carrying  out  the  "reduc- 
tions "  contrary  to  the  rule  prescribed  by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization,  and  I  take  the  liberty  of 
calling  your  attention  to  it,  and  to  advise  you  as  to  the  proper  manner  of  applying  the  rule  of  re- 
duction to  property  affected  by  mortgages. 

For  example,  a  piece  of  property  assessed  say  for  $10,000,  and  having  two  mortgages  thereon 
equal  to  the  assessed  value,  one  for  eight  thousand  and  one  for  two  thousand  dollars,  should  have  the 
five  per  cent,  deducted  from  the  $10,000  and  the  first  mortgage  deducted  and  assessed  at  $8, 000,  leaving 
the  second  mortgage  to  be  deducted  and  assessed  at  $1,500. 

The  reason  is  plain,  the  interest  of  the  mortgage  for  assessment  purposes  is  gauged  entirely  by 
its  value  at  a  suit  to  foreclose  and  recover  the  money.  If  the  property  is  only  worth  $9,500,  the 
order  of  Court  would  be  to  pay  the  §8,000  mortgage  first  and  the  remainder  to  be  applied  to  the 
payment  of  the  judgment  upon  the  second  mortgage.  When  a  doubt  was  expressed  as  to  the  cor 
rectness  of  this  rule,  the  question  was  submitted  to  the  Attorney-General,  who  in  a  written  opinion 
sustained  the  rule. 

Respectfully  yours, 

E.  W.  MASLIN. 

As  reference  was  made  in  the  foregoing  communication  to  a  rule  adopted  by  the  Board  of 
Equalization  as  to  the  mode  of  making  deductions,  the  Auditor  not  hating  received  any  copy  or 
having  any  knowledge  of  said  rule,  addressed  the  State  Board  of  Equalization,  requesting  to  b« 
furnished  with  a  copy  of  the  same.  In  response  thereto  the  following  was  received  : 

COMMUNICATION  FROM  STATE  BOARD  OF  EQUALIZATION. 

SACRAMENTO,  October  19, 1889. 
FLEET  F.  STROTHER,  Esq., 

DEAR  SIR  :  Your  favor  of  the  15th  inst.  came  to  hand  on  due  time,  but  absence  from  the  office 
during  the  past  three  days  prevented  an  earlier  reply.  Perhaps  I  used  the  word  "  rule  "  in  the  sens- 
not  warranted  by  its  meaning.  There  was  no  formal  resolution  spread  upon  the  minutes.  In  the 
course  of  an  assessment  year  there  are  many  opinions  given  which  are  binding  upon  revenue  officers, 
but  as  each  opinion  is  only  related  to  the  special  case  presented,  the  Board  acts  on  that  case  above. 

So  when  the  question  was  presented  :  "  Whether  in  the  apportionment  of  mortgages  reported  to 
this  Board  by  Assessors,  affecting  property  in  more  than  one  county,  where  the  mortgages,  two  or 
more  exceeded  the  value  of  the  property,  the  value  of  the  property  should  be  apportioned  to  the 
several  mortgages  or  whether  the  first  mortgage  should  be  assessed  at  its  full  value  and  the  second 
mortgage  reduced  to  the  sum  of  the  remainder."  The  question  was  submitted  to  the  Attorney- 
General,  who  decided  that  the  interest  of  the  first  mortgage  is  the  face  value  thereof  and  the  interest 


REVENUE  ORDERS,  349 

of  the  second  mortgage  is  as  the  remainder  of  the  value  of  the  property  after  deducting  the  first 
mortgage.  In  1887,  when  certain  counties  were  reduced  and  the  question  occurred,  "What  shall  be 
the  form  of  notification  to  the  Auditors  and  what  shall  be  the  directions  ?"  It  was  agreed  that  the 
Auditor  should  be  instructed  to  reduce  property  in  accordance  with  the  principle  above  stated. 
There  was  no  formal  notice  or  motion.  It  was  the  sense  of  the  Board  and  needed  no  resolution  or 
record,  we  followed  this  rule  or  principle  in  1887  and  1888.  I  send  you  a  form  used  where  an 
"increase  "  was  made,  but  have  no  printed  form  for  "  decrease,"  as  the  cases  were  so  few  I  preferred 
to  write  the  order. 

Respectfully  yours, 

E.  W.  MASLIN. 

After  revision  by  the  Auditor  the  valuation  of  taxable  property  on  the  assessment  roll  for  the 
fiscal  year  1839  was  as  follows  :
