The board will meet next Friday night to begin the inquiry for the fixing of rates for eas and electricity. r - The board adjourned ' to meet next "Wednesday night, when the question of the installation of additional hydrants in accordance' with a former promise of the company will be discussed. Forbes said the present capacity of the Spring Valley "Water "Works was 03,000,000 gallons a day. When the complete sys tem Is in operation the capacity would be 78,000.000 gallons daily. Resolutions were adopted requesting the Spring Valley "Water Works to furnish a statement of the names of all Its cor porate officers and tho amount of the capital stock subscribed upon the books of the company by each of such officers upon the first day of January, 1303, and a statement in detail of the items upon which the estimate of J473.O0O for, operat ing expenses for 1903 is based. The Board of Works was requested to furnish a plan of meter rates that will lower the rate of the small consumer and raise the meter rate of the larger con sumer to a more equitable rate. Assessor Dodge was requested to be present at the next meeting to enlighten the board on an alleged discrepancy be tween the assessed valuations of the company's properties and the valuations sworn to before the board. Howard said that he did not think the amount of material on hand that has been charged up to operating expenses could be determined, but it was very small compared with that charged to per manent improvements. Assistant Engineer Forbes said operat ing expenses had increased owing to high er prices for labor and material. The company had recently raised the wages ot laborers owing to tho higher cost ot living, Forbes said. Howard said Schussler's salary prior to 1900 was 515,000, and had been Increased to $25,000. In 1S91 Schussler was engaged on the Alameda Creek system, and Braunhart wanted to know if the in crease was not the result of Schussler's additional labor on the system, but How ard said he could not answer the ques tion. have found it in the operating expenses." Jay Hudson Entertains Camera dub With Scenes Connected With Illustrious Authors. The California Camera Club gave its on« hundred and fifty-third illustrated lecture last night at the Alhambra Theater, the lecturer being Jay William Hudson. The subject -was "The Literary Shrines of England" and the applause which fol lowed the presentation on the screen of the homes of Great Britain's authors showed the Intimate acquaintance of the audience with the immortal works of the literary lights of the past. The house of Shakespeare, the town of Stra.tford-on- Avon, the pictures of the gentle Gold smith and great historical Trinity College, Dublin, where he won his degree of B. A., elicited a storm or applause. The presen tation of 'Westminster Abbey, with the graves or illustrious men of letters, and the humble cot wherein the beloved "Bob by" Burns was born and reared and a pic ture of the poet's tomb, all appealed to the sympathies of the a.udlence. Mr. Hudson was awarded a hearty vote of thanks for his interesting and instruc tive lecture.

Visitors from the valley tan catch it aftei an evening with liiend» or tt the theater. • Midnight Express. The most important question is still left In the air, and until tho decision is made the liquor dealers are not sure of their fate. Theodore Lunstedt was the first speak er. He said an erroneous impression had gone abroad that his organization had been formed to fight tne commissioners and he wished to correct that idea. He said it was not going to ask anything the commission could not in honor grant, and that it was supported by the wholesalers and brewers and by his Honor the Mayor. Mr. Lunstedt submitted the following five demands of the retail liquor dealers: That HcMie* be eranted to places de»lrlr.s the same with side entrances, provided that no women enter without escort's; that the pro prietors t>o aJIo-wed to maintain Blttlnr-rooms for mala patrons; that concert halls without greenrooms or boxes be, granted licenses and run tho same as th» Oberon; that whero a restau rant Is running- with a saloon lic-nee prlvats dlning-rooma be allowed; that where the char acter of an applicant Is good and It is his In tention to run an orderly and decent place licences be Issued to crocerlea with bars. PRIVACY MAIN ATTRACTION. Abe Ruef, for.the petitioners, asked sev eral times for the specific objection that the commissioners had against the boxes and at last elicited the information that it was to do away with the privacy, the commissioners maintaining that that was the main attraction for the women. After much discussion the commission took the matter of boxes in saloons frequented by women under consideration and ruled that boxes In resorts with male patrons only ¦would be, tolerated. The concert ha Ha were disposed of by the recommendation that they be run the same as the Oberon, where the sexes were separated. Res taurants will be allowed to have boxes If they conform to the ordinance. After the calling of the session to order Abe Ruef made a plea for an executive sossion. maintaining that there would be more freedom in the discussion and that the committee might want to go into things that it would not want published broadcast, such as the question of daily receipts. Commissioners Howell and Hut ton epoke against the request, claiming that with such a large number of persons present it would bo impossible to keep the proceedings secret and that things would get out in a distorted shape. Presi dent Xewhall, after pome discussion with the commissioners, stated that the decis ion was that the committee should pro ceed in open session. Mayor E. E. Schmltz was present as an ex-oflicio member of the board and the feature of the day was the declaration of Iho chief executive of the municipality that he was in favor of tho demands of the liquor dealers and thought the time had come for the commissioners to co operate with them, as he felt assured that they were acting in good faith. WANT EXECUTIVE SESSION". After two hours' discussion yesterday atterneon of the various points involved relative to the maintenance of boxes and side entrances in the saloons of this city, the discussion being between the Police Commissioners and the allied liquor Inter est?, represented by committees from the Retail Liquor Dealers' Association, the Brewers' Association, the 'Wholesale Liquor Dealers and th« Bartenders' Pro tective Association, the question remained unsettled and will so remain until the commission can consider all of the argu ments presented and render a decision. The special session of the Police Com missioners was called to order promptly 3 o'clock in the rooms of the commis sion by President Xewhall. A. committee of nine, representing the liquor dealers, and consisting of Theodore Lunstedt, president of the California Liquor Deal ers' Association; Fred N. Bent and Ed ward L. "Wagner of the executive com mitteo of the same organization; "Walter Wiley, IT. M. Wreden and Gustave Kroenke of the Brewers' Association and E. R. Lilienthal, Thomas Kirkpatrick and K. J. Tausslg. representing the whole salers, was present to add its moral influ ence to the pleas and arguments ad vanced by Attorneys Abe Rucf and Charles A. Son. Police Commissioners Hold Conference With the Saloon Men. The committee also decided to incor porate In the issue the projects to park Telegraph Hill, to build a children's play ground at North Beach and south of Market street to establish parks in the Mission or Twin Peaks and to build St. Mary's Square and to construct the park and Presidio extension. In all cases the Board of Works was asked to submit esti mates of cost of the improvements and appraisements of the land required for the purposes designated. The Board of Education was not ready to furnish a re port on the sites to be acquired for new schoolhouses and action thereon was postponed until next Friday. The committee also asked the Board of Works to submit plans and estimates of cost for the repaying of the accepted streets. Supervisor Brandenstein held that the repaving of streets is not within the legitimate scope of a bond issue and should not he incorporated therein, as it is not a permanent improvement. Bran denstein argued that the repavins of streets could be accomplished by the levy of a special tax and that the board should In? very reluctant regarding the issuance of bonds which saddled debt on succeed ing generations. Braunhart agreed w^th Brandenstein on the legal aspect of the question, but claimed that the repaving of streets would meet with popular approval. The committee recommended a resolu tion caliin? upon the Board of Public Works, through the City Engineer, to furnish a complete set of plans and esti mate of cost for a new sewer system, pre liminary to the submission to a vote of the proposition to-construct the system. Supervisor Curtis said he would not vote* to hold a bond election for public improvements until the status of the spe cial tax levy for a new City and County Hospital bad b<*n determined. Curtis ssid a. test action would be instituted In the Supreme Court to settlo the question as to whether the city could use the spe cial tax levy to build the hospital. Cur tis paid the matter would be settled in two months and no bond flection should Ue held until after the determination o£ th" question. Tho committee decided to ask. the City Attorney what steps would be necessary to secure additional money to build a new ho?pttal in case the fund raised by the special levy proved inadequate. Curtis stated that in any event the pum of Jlo 1 ), 000 would be availHble from taxes on which no protests have been made and which could be used for hospital purposes. The Supervisors' Public Utilities Com mittee decided yesterday to take prelimi nary steps for the holding: of an election for the purpose of submitting to the peo ple the question of Issuing bonds for vari ous improvements. Including new schcol .houFe?. public play grounds, sewers and parks. Braunhart stated that all former proceedingp and ordinances passed hereto fore for bond elections were null ana void and the committee would have to besin Mayor Thinks Proposi tion of Co-operation a Just One.

Board Allows Private Citizen to' Join in Water-Rate Inquiry. A novelty was Introduced into the water rate inquiry by tha Board of Supervisors last night when a private citizen was per mitted to put a series of questions to the officials of the Spring Valley Water Com pany, which are calculated to lay bare the secret* of the corporation If they axe answered. The board, had previously adopted a resolution allowing former Su pervisor Charles Wesley Reed to solicit information bearing on the fixing of wa ter rates. Copies of- the questions wera furnished to Chief Kiigineer Schussler and Bookkeeper George Booker. The main questions put to tho officials fol low: "Why is It that the — - ater supply in Crystal Springs reservoir has steadily diminished since the last overflow o( the dam? How much water has been furnished from that source to the city since then? How much water -was caught 1n Crystal Springs dam during tho rainy season of 10O1-02, and how much of it was lost by evaporation? la it not true that the evaporation from the CrjfUl Springs ies»noir, plus the amount of water which must bo furnished to the owners of rights on San JIateo Creek, is greater than tha amount of -water caught in Crystal Springs during the last flve years? If the reservoir has yielded practically no new water during the last five years, ought not the cost of watersheds and water rights to be counted as loss, upon which no interest should be cJlowcd by tho Supervisors? . . : r^ . ' DIFFEKENCE IN SATES. la It not wrong: to charge a poor man 23 centt per hundred cubic feet when th» corporations secure water for 1- cents per hundred cubic feet? Would th» Spring Valley Company object to having a uniform water rate? Is it not true that tho email users of water pay much more by meter rates than th« aver age cost of water, and that the largest users pay much less than the average cost? ' What was the average cost of water per 100 cubic feel during 1001-02? Should not the pries of water for shipping be reduced to the eanie rate enjoyed by other con sumers? I>o<ra not the very hlRh pries of — ¦ ater chars?d shipping discourage the use of San Francisco as a shtpulnjr point? Why should there b« a uniform meter rate for shipping and not a uniform meter rate for the consumer? Is it a fact that many places of business mentioned In section 8 have had their water bills raised arbitrarily— that is, increased with out beine measured by meter? Braunhart objected to a charge In the operating expenses tor interest on money borrowed on Lake Merced lands, claim ing that Interest should not be classed as operating expenses, because the company is already receiving Interest from the water rates on its investment in the land. Howard called attention to an error in the item of 579,892 14 expended for perma nent improvements in the Suburban Wa ter Company's system, which should have been only 522.776 23. A statement /filed shows that the corrected amount charged against the item of Improvements for the entire system should be $C78,478 25, instead of 5705,594 16, as at first reported. COST STEADILY INCREASES. A statement prepared by Chief. Engineer Schussler showed that the cost of fur nishing water, according to his figures, had steadily increased and the average price received has decreased during the last flve years. Schussler says In his statement: Tha growth In population if continued will require in the near future expenditures of money and a corresponding and assured reve nue to meet tho Increasing cost of interest, op erating expenses and taxes. Without such rev enue the Improvements now under way and ¦which are necessary to meet the increasing re quirements for water cannot be made. Phelan Ames, secretary of the com pany, replying to a Question as to why the dividend for November had been passed, said the company had not earned it. He produced the following- statement showing the receipts for the year 1902-3 for the sales of water: .' • / From water rates, July 1 to December 31, 1902. $OO4,SSi.'5 CO: (estimated), January 1 to Jun* 30. 1903. $9S7,O0O; total, I1.951.80S 03. I-*rom rents, July 1 to December 31, 1902, J2T, 012 30; (estimated), January 1 to Juno 30, 1W3, $20,000; total. $17,012 60; total receipts. $1. 908,906 19. FORESEES A DEFICIT. The statement .shows that the disburse ments for the. same year — those for the second half of the fiscal year being esti mated—aggregate 52,117,283 46. This would entail a deficit which would necessitate the omission of one and possibly two more dividends, Ames said. He was un able to throw any light on the promise made by Engineer Schussler that he would try to reduce the operating: ex penses to $430,000, as suggested last year by Mayor Schmltz. Based on the exist ing rates, Ames figured a deficit of $34,094 during 1902-3. Attorney Kellogg stated that it is estimated that 51,000,000 will be spent on permanent Improvements and that S13.000 had been estimated for In creased business in 1903. Braunhart objected to an Item of 55000 for a telephone system being: entirely charged to operating expenses, claiming that some of the expense should be charged to permanent Improvements, "I am trying to find that omitted divi dend," said Braunhart, "and I believe I PEOPLE TO VOTE ON BOND ISSUES; NOVELTY IN WATER RATE INQUIRY THE SAX FFASCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1903. 5 A "" V h \ Kt » >* r- "" v 'r N T w .

For several years Red Gum, Blood Root and Hydrastln have been recognized as standard remedies for catarrhal troubles, but they have always been given sepa- rately and. only very recently an In- genious chemist succeeded In combining them, together with other antiseptics, Into a pleasant, effective tablet. Druggists sell the remedy under the name of Btuarfs Catarrh Tablets and it has met -with remarkable success in the cure ot nasal catarrh, bronchial and throat catarrh and In catarrh of the stomach. Mr. F. N. Benton, whose address ia care of Clark House, Troy, X. Y.. says: "When I run up against anything that Is good I like to tell people of It. I have- bcen troubled with catarrh more or less tor some time. Last winter mor© than ever. Tried several so-called cures, but did not get any benefit from them. About six -weeks ago I bought a 50-cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablet" and I am glad to say that they have done wonders for me and I do not hesitate to let all my friends know that Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets are the right thing." Mr. George J.

A leading physician of Pittsburg advises the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in preference to any other treatment for Catarrh of head and throat or stomach. He claims they are far superior to in- halers, salves, lotions or powder and are much more convenient and pleasant to take and are so harmless that little chil- dren take them with benefit, as they con- tain no opiate, cocaine or any poisonous drug.

They can tell their story without reservation to her ; she never breaks a confidence, and her advice is the best in the world. The questions asked of a woman by a male physician are embarrassing, and often revolting to a sensitive nature. In consequence the whole truth is not told ; this makes it difficult for female troubles to be successfully treated even by the best physicians, and is the reason so many women grow worse rather than better. ' A womarf understands a woman better than a man, — there are symptoms which sick women have that a man cannot understand, simply because he is a man, but the whole truth may be told to Mrs. Pinkhara, and her vast experience enables her to give advice which leads to a cure. All women who suffer should secure Mrs. Pinkham's advice; it costs nothing but a letter addressed to her at Lynn, Mass, Female troubles are real troubles, and must be treated understanding^. For a quarter of a century Mrs. Pinkham's advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have been helping women to get strong and well, and her great file of letters prove that more than a million women have been restored to health and strength by her advice and her medicine when all other means have failed. When you go to a druggist for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, do not let him persuade you to try something which he says is just as good ; there is nothing, just as good, because Mrs. Pinkham's medicine holds the record for the largest number of cures of any female medicine in the world.
