The cornerstone of the new Home for
the Aged of the Little Sisters of the'
Poor, located at Lake street and Fourth
avenue, Richmond district, will be laid
on Saturday next at 9 o'clock a. m., the
day of the feast of St. Anne, patroness
of the home. The blessing will be rro
nounced by the Most Rev. Archbishop
Kiordan, assisted by members of the
clergy of the diocese. The ceremony will
be of a simple religious character.
Laying of Cornerstone.
What will be the largest dredger in the
world when it is completed is now in
course of construction' in this city in the
shops of the Golden State and Miners'
Iron Works on First street. Four hundred
thousand feet of lumber and forty tons
of iron will be placed in the hull. The
hrge float will be 135 feet long, fifty feet
wide and eleven feet deep. The machin
ery will swing a bucket at the end of
a boom 150 feet long so that the material
can be taken from the middle of a river
and placed on the bank 150 feet distant
without the use of barges. The capacity
of the dredge, which is operated by 1000
horsepower engines, is 12,000 to 15,000
cubic yards per day, which is equivalent
to 25,000 tons of material, as closely as
it can be estimated. The owner is A.
McMillan.
When the great machine is ready to
operate, it will have a task of large size
and general interest to perform, which
Is no less than the construction of levees
for Sherman Island, between the Sacra
mtnto and San Joaquln rivers, sufficient
to protect that body of land forever from
floods at all stages of the two rivers that
fret its shores. .Something like a quar
ter of a century ago the island was
finally inundated. The debris from ¦ the
mines steadily raised the river beds and
the levees that were then in existence
were insufficient to do the work demand
ed of them.
When the floods broke In, crops, houses
and all improvements were put out of
use. For years the Island and its houses
¦with only roofs above the water have
been pointed out to travelers as a melan
choly example of the ruin that the
rivers have wrought. Some levee build
ing has been performed recently, but
nore is needed. Now the big dredger will
build, banks thirty feet high around tna
entire island which is about ten miles
long. The time estimated for the com
pletion of this work is two years. Sher
man Island is the most important of any
of the islands along the rivers of Califor
nia. San Francisco capital is largely
back of the scheme for its reclamation.

subject Mill be laid before the peace of
ficials, with recommendations that no
such abuse as projected be allowed.

Is Charged With Cruelty.
Sarah Van Rappard of 2 Winter place
swore to a warrant for the arrest of her
husband yesterday for cruelty to herself
and two infant children. It is alleged that
Van Rappard broke up the family furni
ture, poured coal oil over the floor and
threatened to kill his wife. The case was
referred to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children and Officer Mo-
Murray is hunting for the man
Seizes Undersized Bass.
Deputy Walters of the Fish Commission
seized 700 pounds of undersized striped
bass on the steamer Gold yesterday. The
fish were consigned 'to local marketmen
but went to the Poorhouse instead to be
used by the inmates. No trace of the
shipper could be found.
The arbitrary assessment of Charles S.
Wheeler, which was raised to $15,000 in
the afternoon, was restored to the orig
inal figure of $10,000.
When pressed to file a statement of the
company's earnings Curran said that .It
was impossible to secure the figures in
the brief \ space allowed. On motion of
Supervisor D'Aricona the board decided to
let the assessment of $3,155,090 stand.
The petition of the Giant Powder Com
pany that the assessment on its franchise
be reduced from $150,000 to nothing was
denied, as was the petition of the Hiber
nia Bank that the assessment of $555,000
on loans outside the State be canceled
and that Its assessment of $2,459,156 be
reduced by the first named amount.
At the evening session of the board Cur
ran stated that the telephone company
had increased its personal property by
only $150,000 over that of last year. As
sessor Dodge said that in San Benito, Ne
vada and Santa Cruz counties the tele
phones are assessed for $25 each, yet In
this city the company had returned the
value of 31,000 telephones at $10 each, on
which basis the assessment was fixed.
Dodge argued that the company is receiv
ing an Income of 6 per cent on a capitaliz
ation of $7,812,000, and that if.it were as
sessed on 70 per cent of that amount, as is
the custom, it would have to pay taxes on
$5,468,400 instead of $3,158,090 as it how
stood. Dodge said that the company
should be cited to show cause why its as
sessment should not be raised, but it al
ways came in at the last moment to make
its protest and it was too late to subpena
its officials. Dodge figured the net earn
ings of the company at $436,000. ,
BIG ASSESSMENTS STAND.
The board instructed John Curran, rep
resentative of the Pacific States Tele
phone and Telegraph Company, to furnish
a sworn statement of the gross receipts of
the company in this city and county for
the last year; also a sworn statement of
the receipts for each calendar- month, to
gether with an itemized detailed state
ment of the expenses of the corporation.
The corporation petitioned that the as
sessment on its personal property be re
duced from $2,115,685 to $1,649,560 and on its
franchise from $S23,7S5 to $300,000.
AVilllam H. Crocker, $70,000; J. McDonald,
$25,000- A. J. Gunnison, $20,000; J. Mershon,
$20,000; Ignatz Steinhart, $20,000; Mahony
Brothers $15,000; Doak Steamship Works, $10,
••00; Janies K. Prior, $10,000; San Francisco
Timber Preserving Company, $10,000; Mrs. H.
\V. Seale. $10,000.
The assessments of $100,000 on S. W.
Rosenstock and $25,000 on J. D. McCarthy
were referred to the Assessor for action,
while the following were allowed to stand:
Hyraan Wolf, whose assessment on a
house was previously reduced to $50, had
it raised to $1000. Dodge said that after
the p_ssessment was reduced Wolf sold the
house for S1000.
Refuses Reduction.
The board declined to reduce the assess
ment on the estate of C. Hansen from
$350,000 to nothing. H. C. Cheesebrough,
attorney for the estate, stated that the
estate only owned land and a shingle mill
in San Mateo County, the other property
being in the State of Washington. As
sessor Dodge stated that the City Attor
ney advises that the stock of an estate be
ing probated in California courts is as
sessable in this State.
Robert Oxnard, from 525.000 to $35,000: Ru
dolph Spreckels, from $70,000 to $80,000; R. E.
Queen, from $20,000 to $25,000; A. W\ Blun
dell, from $10,000 to $15,000; C. S. Wheeler,
from $10,000 to $15,000; Joseph Hirschf elder,
from $7000 to $10,000; J. F. Adams, from $5000
to $10,000; S. M. Levy, from $5000 to $10,000;
Louis Lissak. from $5000 to $10,000: Sidney V.
Smith, from $5000 to $10,000; Fred TiUznann
Jr.. from $5000 to $10,000; Charles R. Johnson,
from $2500 to $5000, and H. T. Lally, from
$2500 to $5000.
The arbitrary assessment of $250,000 on
the Crocker Estate Company was not
changed. The following arbitrary assess
ments were increased:
The board denied the application of
Daniel Meyer that his assessment be not
increased from last year's figures of $500,
000 to $750,000. Meyer's plea that he had
not made any money this year and on
that account the assessment should not
be increased proved Ineffectual.
Most of the time of the Board of Su
pervisors, sitting *lb a Board of Equaliza
tion, was taken up yesterday with the
consideration of arbitrary assessments on
personal property, nearly all of which
were allowed to stand as levied by Asses
sor Dodge, while not a few were In
creased.
The California Street Cable Railroad
Company filed a statement showing that
its Gross receipts for the year ending

T E "u K -?e tZf re P, rese nting the Johnson-
Locke Mercantile Company, appeared be
fore the board and petitioned that the
electric sign on the building at the cor
ner of Powell and Ellis streets be al
lowed to remain for another month.
Mayor Schmltz stated that when the
resolution permitting the erection of the
sign was passed three months ago it was
v.;th the understanding that it should
come down in ninety days. A resolution
rescinding the permit has since been
passed, but has not been complied with.
A\ ynn said that the permit had been
granted under a misrepresentation. The
lire Committee in recommending the per
mit did not understand that the sign was
to be as large as it is. The board, how
«\er, extended the time for the main
tenance of the sign until. September L

to exceed three months
The ordinance fixing the license to be
paid by drugstores that sell liquors at 13
per quarter was passed to print. Wynn
thought that if it was desired to place

motion that the license be fixed at $15 per
quarter was lost, as was also that cf
DAncona to fix it at $2 per quarter.

tion and use of electric wires and appli
ances in or about buildings and fixing the
fees to be charged therefor by the de
partment of electricity was passed to

make a report es to whether there is any
waste in the use of water in the public
buildings, including the school buildings,
engine-houses, etc. The demands of the
gpring Valley Company for $5929 for sup
plying water to public buildings were re
jected, as the appropriation of 114.000 for
the purpose is exhausted and the com
pany is charging the city by meter rates.
It Is held that there is no authority for
charging in that manner under the or
dinance fixing water rates.
The resolution awarding the shoeing of
the horses of the Police Department to
E. F. Graney, which was passed to nrint
at the last -meeting; of the board, was de
feated on final consideration. Braunhart
ooposed the reference of the resolution to

tracts.

The offer of the Presidio and Ferries
Kailroad Company to sell its system to
the city for $550,000, with interest at 5 per
cent per annum from the foundation of

jected. The resolution on the subject re
cites that in the opinion of the board the
offer of- the company is not so advan
tageous to the municipality as to acquire
by original construction and completion
8 municipal railroad upon Geary and oth
er Btrtets in accordance with the plans
and estimates of the City Engineer.
An ordinance was passed to print by
the Board of Supervisors yesterday which
Etts forth a proposal to the electors to

lation of street railroads so as to permit
two or more lines of street railways op
erated under different managements to
use the same street jointly for not to ex
ceed ten consecutive blocks, each paying
an equal portion for the construction and
repair of the tracks. The charter at pres
ent provides for five blocks only, and the
amendment will make it possible to run
the Geary street road down Market street
to the ferry after it has been acquired by
liie city.
