4 SUPERVISORS IN ANOTHER TANGLE OVER CITY WATER McCarthy Resolution for the Condemnation of Spring Valley Divides Board Again 9 to 9 COMPROMISE FAILS, THOUGH SUGGESTED Action Is Postponed Until Next Monday—Telegram to Secretary Fisher For the second time in tjie last two weeks the supervisors split nine to nine cm the water question yesterday when Supervisor McCarthy offered a ;tion providing for condemnation <>f SprhiK Valley. While the 18 super visors were practically unanimous in favor of condemnation, the preamble of McCarthy's resolution was so ob jectionable to Mayor Rolph and the nine members who supported him two weeks ago that they voted against the entire measure. Mayor Rolph and those with him de clared the resolution in the form pre sented would injure the city's chances of getting the Iletch Hetchy permit from Secretary of the Interior Fisher. After an hour or more of heated ar gument, in which the mayor expressed his views, the board decided to post pone action on condemnation until next Monday. The McCarthy resolution, which eiaisfed rII the trouble, read: Mot AUTIIYS KKSOLITIOX Whore**, *fter one year'f negotiation! with the Spring Valley Water casipftti.v, tbe city ad visory water f*omrnittee ha* MCB unable to Bβ- I'urf a fair offer for the properO« <>f the Spring Valley Water company, dwplta the fact that the committee's last offer aggregated ia tbe minimum *t leant 142,125,006; and Whrreas., the i£pring Valley Water company •lik |i*reui|i(ortlv- tirmitminl nepotiatlftiik wlt'i trio city hj avoiitlug the reeignatitta of its aego tt*t ing , nnnmtttee and by subsequently arbi trarily repudiating. In ita refusal to accept the rtate tx>ar»l of railroad commissioners, its offer t<> arbitrate the value >.«f its properties befe»e a fair ami Impartial board: tberefpr t< , It Kp*«jtfved. tlt«t the city attorney is hereby tn ■tructei} t.i furnish the board of &ui>«>rvlsors. at the earliest possible mouinnt, the firm of pro cedure ti> be. followed in enn«!einnation proceed ings for the acquisition af such holdings and properties of the Spring Valley Water company as may be necessary to acquire for a municipal water supply. It was McCarthy who led the oppcv J sition to the mayor two weeks ago \vh»n the latter's plans for purchase of fpring Valley were rejected. The same supervisors were lined up in the same nine to nine fashion yesterday, thus firmly <•stabllPhtHjf the aplit in the adr ministration which developed, at that time, A'J varieties of parliamentary pro were resorted to when the dead lock became apparent, Supervisor An drew Gallagher even suggesting: that McCarthy's resolution be divided in two j ■ectlons in order to keep peace. rOVDKMXATIOX RESOLUTION" Then came Supervisor Bancroft's resolution directing City Attorney Long to institute condemnation proceedings! Bancroft explained that the favorable report made by the United States board of army vnerineers an the city's Sierra B mui!e it unnecessary to rush into temnation proceedings at once. "Wo are not likely to be ITeld up by Spring , Valley now, and can go slower tad more carefully, ,, he said. "There fore I consent to the substitute offered by Supervisor McCarthy, since his reso lution doe 3 not go quite as far as mine and will permit the necessary legisla tion being enacted at Sacramento to facilitate the condemnation suit." Supervisor Vogelsang of Mayor Rolph"s camp opened fire on McCarthy's preamble. "The resolution now offered is not harmful,' , he said, "but the preamble is unnecessary and unwarranted. I favor condemnation, but the- adoption by this board of the language contained in that preamble- would not be helpful to the Hetch Hetehy situation. It would create a feeling that would do us harm." Supervisor Giannini objected, pro nouncing the statements true. VOOELSAXG'S POSITION "I don't know that they are," re plied Vogelsing. lie took exception to the statement of the preamble to the effect that Spring- Valley had arbi trarily repudiated its offer to arbitrate i by refusing McCarthy's proposal two weeks ago of the state railroad com missioa as the arbitrators. He ex plained that in refusing- the water company had simply refused to let the supervisors choose the arbitrators, but had not declined to arbitrate in any other manner. A vote was finally taken on Hayden's proposal to eliminate the preamble, the result being a deadlock, as follows: For the preamble—Bancroft, A. J. Gallagher, George E. Gallagher, Gian nini, Koshland. McCarthy, McLeran, Murphy. Nolan. Against the preamble—Caglieri. Hay den, Ililmtr, blocks, Jennings, Mauay, MunliH'k, Payot, Vogelsang. Tht-n Hayiien moved that McCarthy's resolution be laid on the table. This motion was defeated, the vote being 10 to s. Jtnninjia moved on this bal lot into the McCarthy rajika. Ifayor Uolph explained that ft would be possible to get the permit without any Spring Valley conditions incor porated in it, but that the language of the preamble would not give Secretary Fisher the impression that the city was dealing fairly with Spring Valley, as he had insisted the city should do. Mayor llolph's remarks appeared to have an effect on the opposition to the extent that it was finally decided unan imously to defer action on the con demnation question until next Mon day. City Attorney Long and Cit> Engi neer O'Khaughnessy left for Washing ton morning to aid the sec retary in the draft of the hoped for permit. Mayor liolnh sent the fol lowing dispatch to Secretary Fisher: TELEGRAM TO SECRETARY "We are rejoicing in army beard's decision regarding Hetch Hetohy. Wβ hope that you will have the necessary time and that nothing will prevent your immediately deciding in city's favor and granting- permit. As your prompt action is of such vital import ance to our city and h great section of California, we feel nothing should be omitted by the city to lend every pas sible aid. and, for this reason, with out any desire tp Intrude upon you, we nent City Engineer O'Shanghnessy and Qity Attorney L,ong to Washington on overland Limited, this morning, to be on hand to answer .any questions likely to arise while you have drafting of permit under consideration. After twelve years of hard work and u,n. cc'asiHjf effort dispelling every argu ment urged against us, we are now anxious to get a Fisher permit that will settle the question for all tirn.e." The city attorney's office instituted proceedings yesterday to prevent the aupervisore of Tuolumne county from celling for delinquent taxes the water property belonging to San Francisco, « and which the city claims is exempt from taxes under the state law. Man damus proceedings to bring about the return of back taxes have also been J -cyan. , ELIGIBLE POLICE NUMBER 241 459 MEN FAIL IN EXAMINATION Announcement Is Made by the Civil Service Commission Together With Names of Successful Candidates Two hundred *nd forty-one candi dates out of 700 passed the civil service examinations for the eligible list of policemen on the municipal feree.

Feb. 24.—The annual rivers and harbors appropriation bill was passed by the senate today after a prtriensed fight. Amendments added to the bill by the senate brought predic tions that the measure would be vetoed by the president, because they were In direct opposition to hla expressed poli cies.

The bill, as reported to the senate from committee, carried an appropria tion of $48,091,745, an increase of $7,318,787 over the amount authorized by the house. Several amendments adopted by the senate increased this sum materially.

TELEPHONE HATES MUST GONE DOWN Board of Supervisors Unani mously Passes Ordinance Making Reductions Schedule Will Allow for a Legitimate Growth and 6 Per Cent Profit Giving the Pacific Telephone com pany the benefit ef every difference in estimates of its expenses during the coming year, and allowing In addition 120,000 for legitimate growth during 1912, would still enable the company to earn 6 per cent, declared James T. Shaw, expert for the state railroad commission before the board of super vistors yesterday in explaining , the new schedule of rates which he and the telephone committee of the supervisors had prepared. After hearing his statement of the case, together with a request from President Henry T. Scott of the tele phone company that extra, expenses entailed by hlgrher wages and eick benefits and insurance to employes be considered, the board unanimously passed the ordinance to print. The new schedule prepared for the year beginning July I, 1913, will cut off about 1309,000 from the profits of the telephone company, reducing the present percentage from 8.25 to 6.1, according to Mr. Shaw. The reductions in business measured phones will be 19.5 per cent and on business prepay ment 28.25. Residence flat rates were not touched. In reply to Mr. Scott's letter, read by General Commercial Superintendent P. H. Coolidge of the telephone com pany, Mr. Shicw declared that the points raised were not material to the ordi nance. '"A fair minimum of profit can be said to be 6 per cent," he said, "and con ceding , aJI the valuations set by the company Itself this will still be re turned under the new ordinance. There is nothing In this letter to alter the material points, and there Is x\tt a vital point that has not been covered in my work. There was a difference of $122,000 in the estimates made by me and the telephone men, but giving them the entire amount, with aJI abnormal expenses, a margin of |9,501 would re main to the company'! credit." Mr. Shaw eald it was found that business men were paying from 6 to 9 cents for single switches in the down town district, and that it was necessary that this b»e remedied.
