CHAIRMAN KING
IS HARD TO FIND,
Steward Robinson Vainly
Sought Him at the
City Hall
AND THEN AT HIS HOTEL
Nearly Always Ran Across Him
at the Bar of the New
Western.
COUNTY HOSPITAL SUPPLIES.
Fish That Were Sometimes "Past"
and Meat That Came at Fancy
Figures.
Tb« Board of Health continued its in
vestigation of the County Hospital Jast
evening at the office of Dr. Hart, 114 Pow
ell street. Two witnesses were examined —
George Robinson, the steward, and his
son, George F. Robinson, who was acting
steward for two months during his father's
illness.
The elder Robinson testified that his du
ties included general supervisiom of the
commissary department and of the buiid
inps. Every week he makes a requisition
of supplies needed for the institution and
.13 it to the Superintendent for ap
proval. He then has to take the requisi
tion to the Cbafrman of the Hospital Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors, Joseph
Kiue. According to Robinson he seeks
King at the City Hall during his supposed
oilice hours, but rarely find* him there.
Generally he has to hunt for Kine at the
latter's hotel, and more particularly in the
barroom of the hotel.
On certain occasions when it was impos
sible to find the Supervisor of the Fir*«t
Ward even in the seclusion of his own bar
room the steward was compelled to usk
dealers to furnish supplies without a re
quisition ana to get the requisition signed
later on.
Robinson, as a rule, goes with a requisi
tion to the chairman of the Hospital Com
mittee about four times a week, but often
he has to go st-vertil time.-j a day to tind
King. The steward admitted "that he
often lost a great deal of time chasing
back and forth between the City Hall and
King's hotel.
Kobinson said he had very little trouble
about the shortage in weight or measure
of the supplies furnished the hospital.
The trouble was with the quality.
The lish furnished the institution was
often poor — not rotten, but what the stew
ard euphoniously termed "Dast."' He had
also received bay and potatoes that were
unfit for use. On such occasions the goods
were always sent back and the dealers sent
good supplies. The cartage of these sup
j>:i^s back and for:li, of course, made an
additional expense for the hospital.
The quality of beef furnished to the
ai was very good, according to the
steward.
i ontraet price, however, at which it
was furnished tv the hospital was much
)i ttiiin tie regular market price.
. -ure he could have bought
:ine qualltv of meat which was being
furnished at ti' 2 cents a pound for 4.,
cents, lie was> positive he could have
saved the City from $1500 to $20u0 during
the past fiscal year on meat alone, if he
had had the buying of it. However, even
if he had wished to do so, he had not the
power.
In buying goods not contracted for he
go to certain dealers recommended
by the Hospital Committee. If the Board
oi Health should order him to go to an
other tirm who would furnish goods
cheaper he would probably be unable to
get ti.e eoods, as the chairman of the hos
pital committee would refuse to sign the
requisition and the dealer would not get
■•>'•
•Then you mean to say," asked Dr.
Hart, "that although an appointee of the
iioard of Healtn you are under the power
of the committee of the Supervisors, and
that the Board of Health has nothing to
do with the matter?'
"It seems to be that way," answered
Robin -
Young Robinson was asked the same
questions as his father and corroborated
his statements. He recounted a visit he
made to Cuairman Kine with a requisi
tion, when tiie Supervisor delighted the
politicians in hia barroom by declaring he
would not allow certain supplies to the
hospital. Robinson denied that he had
jutted King on the back on this occasion
and said: "Good boy, Joe."
At the conclusion of young Robinson's
testimony the board adjourned to meet
ligain next week, when more of the hos
pital employes will be examined.
IN AID OF THE CHARTER.
Prominent Organizations Ad
dress the Election Com
mission.
Resolu!ioa Passed Placing the Charter
at the Head of the Electoral
Ballot.
The Merchants' Association and other
prominent organizations, represented by
Joseph Britton, president of the Board of
Freeholders; Captain William L. Merry,
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce;
I. J. Truman, president of the Civic Federa
tion; W. G. Doaue, director of the Mer
chants' Association; F. W. Dohrmaun,
;ent of the Merchants' Association,
and J. Richard Freud, secretary of the
Merchants' Association, appeared before
action Commissioners yesterday to
urge that the proposed new charter be
given a prominent place on the electoral
ballot at the next election.
Joseph Britton opened the discussion by
stating that at the invitation of the Board
i tion Commissioners the committee
was present to urge the placing of the
charier in a favorable position upon the
al ticket.
F. W. Dohrmann then addressed the
committee for the purpose of showing the
necessity of placing the words "for the
new charter" or "against the newcharter '
in such a position upon the ballot that it
would not be overlooked. He then asked
tne Commissioners whether there was any
necessity for discussion of this subject.
Commissioner Block offered a resolution
authorizing the Registiar to prepare the
ballot so that the charter would appear at
the head of the municipal ticket. This
resolution gave rise to some discussion in
which it became apparent that all the
members of the board were favorable to
the resolution, but were not certain that
the board had the legal authority to so
arrange the ballot.
Auditor Broderick stated that he was
FtrontjJy in favor of having the position of
the charter at the head of the municipal
ticket, but that there was some question
under what election laws the Commis
sioners were operating. It might be
possible that the power resided with the
County Clerk.
An amendment was offered by Com
missioner Creswell that the Board was
favorable to the resolution as submitted
by Commissioner Block, provided it had
the power. In this shape the resolution
was unanimously adopted by the Com
missioners.
. In order to hring the matter to a test as
soon as possible, a resolution was offered
by Commissioner Creswell that the Board
authorize ihe Registrar to purchase a cer
tain amount of ballot paper from the
Secretary of State and proceed to the
arrangement and printing of the ballot.
This resolution was also unanimously
adopted by the Commissioners.
The subject of appointing election
officers for the ensuing election, on No
vember ;>, was then discussed. Mr. Dohr
mann, on behalf of the Merchants' Asso
ciation, presented to the Registrar for the
use of the election board, a list of 2000
leading mercantile houses of this City who
employ cierical help.
This" list comprises the 523 members of
of the Merchants' Association and the
leading commercial houses, and will be
used by the kegtstrar in sending out a
special circular requesting merchants to
recommend their clerks for election offi
cers. Application blanks will be sent with
each circular, to be properly rilled out
and returned to the Registrar's office.
Mr. Dohrmann explained that the object
of the Merchants' Association was to co
operate harmoniously with the Election
Commissioners in securing efficient ana
reliable clerks of election.
'lhe Merchants' Association will send a
special request to each of these 2000 firms
that they comply with the wishes of the
Election Commissioners. Active efforts
will also be taken by the association to
secure desirable clerks in every precinct of
the City at the next election with a special
view of securing a full and accurate couni
of the votes polled upon the new charter.
A HUGE GRADING JOB,
Warren and O'Malley Have Al
most Two Years' Work
in Richmond,
Residents of the District Have a Com
p'aint Against the Street
Department.
For the next two years Richmond Dis- !
trict will be the scene of extensive grading
operation?, and millions of yards of sand
will be handled. Besides the old Bay Dis- j
trict racetrack work, Warren it O'Malley |
have a large tract between Eighth and j
Fifteenth avenues and A and C streets. |
This is a job of about forty blocks and is •
covered with sandhills, many of them ;
thirty feet higher than the street. Much
Of it is dry sand, the banks having been j
recently formed by the wind, and the
graders to remove it will use the big steam '
machines known as 'Sand-paddies."
A "sand-paddy" is not as diminutive or |
modest a piece of mechanism a? one would i
fancy. On the contrary, it is a monster j
that eats into a sandhill at the rate of 1800 !
or 1900 cubic yards a day. By a series of '■
scoops or buck?t3 run by endless sprocket
chains the soil is elevated into a hopper,
thence into railroad cars, which run on
their tracks around the machine receiving
their load, which is emptied into the cut
to be filled. The "paddy" itself stands on ,
rails, and after it has used up all the pand- '
banks within reach it is rolled forward and
the cartrack again arranged around it.
The whole system is perfect in the way of
utility and "practicability, and the work
advance* rapidly.
\\ arren it .O'Malley will soon have two j
steamers at work, one at the sand-dune
west of the Odd Fellows' Cemetery on the j
old racetrack and the other on the forty- :
block job, wnere it will dig steadily for a
year and a half. When it has scooped up
its last bucket of sand a wide strip of high
rolling land lyinpr along the north side of ,
Golden (iate Park will be leveled down
and ready for the builders.
The residents of Richmond District are ;
I complaining bitterly of the action of the j
I Street Committee in foisting upon them
Gray Bros.' blue rock. Not only are the
quarries far away, but the small property
owners of the locality at tiie present time '
find that additional expense ahardship.
The people of the district hold that as so
much of that part of the City is ungraded
and often streets are mere cuts tnrough
sandhills it is not practicable to be^m a
system of costly paving. They wish to use |
the red rock of which they have an j
unlimited supply at a quarry on Thirtieth \
avenue for temporary street work. It is i
their intention in the near future to Ditu
minizfl every street in the district, when
the blue rock will be used as a bed for the j
i bitumen. A3 it i 3 the red rock has a ;
I natural cement which gums the whole j
' mess, and a thoroughfare paved with this [
j after being well rolled makes one of the
: cheapest and best roadways Known.
J. <j. Conway, a grader residing in Rich- |
mond District, stated yesterday that the
people of his locality were going to make
the paving question a living issue this
summer.
"Many of our streets," said he, "are in
a deplorable condition at present, and
what will they be in the wet season? They |
| have been dug up for sewers, gas ana j
water mains until they are soft and need j
paving. But we can't afford to pay 7 and
B cents a square foot for blue rock, for that j
is too costly. We could have it done in
oar own red rock for 3^ cents. Talk S
about an octopus— l tell you there is no
more unjust and crushing monopoly in
this City than the Gray Brothers and their
blue rock. We have a number of times
sent committees to the board for redress
and there they always found one of the I
Grays ready to fight them.
"Here is another thing of the many evils
that arnct us. The other day the 'Street
Department served notices ordering ttiat j
the sidewalk alone Sixth avenue snould
be bituminized. Part of the thorough- j
fare between Point Lobos avenue and the j
partc not only has no buildings on it, but ,
is Hanked by deep, ungraded lots; and, |
moreover, 1 have been at work in sight of i
that street every day for three weeks, and j
I have not seen over twenty people walK- i
ing by. What the department wants j
those sidewalks paved now for is a ques- I
tion past finding out.
"Now if we work out streets at all —
j which they need — we must use the hard
I blue rock, which is the poorest material i
that can be put down. It will not pack, I
and either grinds up into fine dust, to ;
i turn to mud in winter, or remains a hard |
j gravel in the streets. We want the red >
i rock put down now, and when we are able !
J to do costly street work we will bit.uniin- |
ize. The Street Department need not fear i
that Richmond District will fail to mi- ]
prove itself in the Dest manner possible. |
We want a square deal, and we will con- |
j tend for it, too."

An <>ld Cage Decided.
I The United States Court of Appeals affirmed j
I yesterday the decision of the District Court, j
j in the case of The Humboldt Lumber Manu- j
| facturers' Association against Olivia Christo- i
pherson and others. The suit is one of nearly |
seven years' standing, and was carried to the |
Court of Appeals on a mandate to secure a
stay of proceedings. The case is now referred !
back to the District Court for execution. In
1889 the tug Printer, owned by tne Humboldt !
i couipauy was towing out to sea the (-choouer j
I Fidelity. In some way thelatterran foul of the i
I rocks and several lives were loKt. Suits were at }
! once instituted against the lumber people by
I the families of the victims for $54,000 dam- j
ages. Tht District Court held that the owners !
of tne tug were only responsible to ihe value I
of the vessel, which was appraised at $22,500. i
A judgment for that amount was accordingly \
rendered. The Humb:>ldt company disclaimed
any liability whatever, and asked for the utay
of proceedings as already related.

THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1896.
SHEA & SHEA TO
BUILD THE HALL
The Contract for the New
Municipal Building
Awarded.
END OF THE DEADLOCK.
Supervisors Wagner and Benja
min Finally Changed
Their Votes.
WORK WILL SOON BE BEGUN.
The Pesthouse Will N.t Be Located
on the Almshouse Tract
at Present.
The Board of Supervisors settled the
question as to who shall be the architect
to construct the new municipal building
yesterday by giving the plum to Shea it
Shea.
The board has been in a deadlock for
several months past (in fact, ever since
the numerous designs for the building
were submitted), Shea & Shea being one
vote short of enough to get the contract,
while the nearest rival, W. 0. Banks,
lacked two votes. Yesterday when the
balloting was taken up seven ballots were
cast without any result being attained,
but on the eighth the change came. It
was first in evidence when Supervisor Ben
jamin, who has been an enthusiastic sup
porter of Banks from tne first, raised his
voice for Shea it Shea, and the choice was
assured when Supervisor Wagner deserted
Mooser & Mooser, for whom he has voted
persistently, and also voted for Shea &
Shea.
Later a resolution was adopted instruct
ing the architects to call at once on the
Municipal Buildings Committee of the
board with a view to arranging tor the im
mediate beginning of wort on the
structure.
The report of A. F. Knorp to the finance
committee of the County Hospital build
ings was submitted, showing the struc
tures to be in a generally good condition,
but needing some improvements. Among
theie was a new one-story building for in
fectious diseases. The total estimated
cost was $21,278, $ 14,77* to be for the new
building. The repon called attention to
the fact that since 1872 the total expendi
ture on t.'ie hospital buildings had been
f175,«6584.
Mayor Sutro occupied his chair for the
first time since he was granted his vaca
tion two months a^o, and was visibly
pleased when the Pesthouse ghost that has
been troubling him so long was finally
"laid."
When the resolution locating the hos
pital for contagious diseases on the Alina
j,ouse tract came up its passage was
oved. Supervisor King wanted the mat
. r laid over for a month, but this measure
(jjd not carry and the original motion was
i st by one vote.
Acting Mayor Taylor's veto of the box
i_ g ordinance was read and sent to print.
q olonel Taylor also made the following
r ecommendations regarding future box-
i ng entertainments:
In conclusion, permit me to make the sug
gestion that if It is still the determination of
this honorable body to pass order No. 3000,
then it should be amended in the three fol
lowing particulars:
Kirsi— After the application is presented to
this body, and before action thereon is taken
by the comniittee. the application should
be referred to the Chief of Police with direc
tions that he shall, with convenient dispatch,
file with such committee his written opinion
as to the granting or refusal of such applica
tion, giving his reasons therefor.
■ Second— Kach and every contest under such
permit should be limited to live (6j rounds, no
round exceeding three (3) minutes in time.
Third— livery permit Issued by this board
shall be approved by the Mayor before it
tinally becomes valid.
The matter will come up for a decision
next Monday.
The long delayed resolution in relation
to the fees of the Sheriff's ottlce that are not
paid into the treasury was finally passed.
