CITY'S FUNDS WILL BE
SUBJECT OF TEST CASE
Treasurer Bantel's Right to
• Deposit in Banks to
Be Decided
The right of City Treasurer Bantel
to keep several million, dollars of the
city's and county's money In his own
safe or to deposit it at interest In
the national banks cf the city Is to
be tested in the courts. The charter
provides that San Francisco's public
treasurer shall keep the public funds
himself. A late amendment to the con
stitution empowers municipal treas
urers to deposit the public funds In
banks. __
Bantel proposes to follow the state
law. His attitude Involves the earning
of about 519S a day in bank Interest by
the city. Joseph Rothschild, as a -tax
payer, has sought out Bantel's purpose
and learned that the treasurer, unless
restrained by the courts, would follow
the state law and deposit the city's
millions in the banks. Rothschild pro
poses to bring a friendly suit to de
termine the treasurer's prerogatives.
City Attorney Burke will appear for
Bantel and whatever the decision may
be in the superior court the case will
be carried to the supreme court at
once.
SUES FOR VALUE OF LEG
BITTEN BY CHUTES CAMEL
Former Employe Asks for $50,000 Be-
cause of the Amputation of
Maimed Member
In Judge Hunt's court, before a Jury,
the trial of the damage suit of Addison
Gooding against the Chutes company
for $50,000 as the price for a leg sacri
ficed to the vlciousness of the Chutes
camel was begun yesterday.
Gooding, who has worked for Ring
ling's, Kioto's and other circuses as a
teamster, and who admits his love for
circus life, was hired by the Chutes in
January of last year. He had been
working a week, cleaning up the floors
of the menagerie, and on the occasion
of his first entrance Into the Etall of
'•Khedive." the Chutes camel, his leg
was nipped in the brute's teeth and the
injuries were so serious that the mem
ber was amputated . later.
Gooding claims that he had no notice
of the animal's ferociousness and he
produced two witnesses, •who had been
bitten by the brute before he went on
the Job.

COMMITTEE SEEKS THE
VALUE OF WORKS PLANT
Recommends Appraisement
of Spring Valley Water
_i Before Acting
OPTION ON PURCHASE
Commercial Associations Are
Anxious to Assure City
(jrood oervicc
Negotiations with regard .to the
terms of the acquisition, by the city
of the Spring Valley water company's
plant are being carried on by the com
mittee representing 23 commercial as
sociations and improvement clubs,
which were organized for t»ie purpose
of settling the financial and legal diffi
culties of the Spring Valley water com
pany and Insuring an adequate water
supply for the city.
The executive committee of the
larger body met yesterday in the rooms
of the merchants' association to con
sider what immediate steps should be
taken. Those present were Colonel "W.
H. Heuer. James D. Phelan. A. H. Vail.
Michael Casey, C. H. Mclntosh, Isidore
Jacobs. C. H. Bentley, Judge "W. B.
Cope and "Walter. Mac&rthur. Hartland
Law and H, "Weinstock were. unable to
be present. The committee organized
by electing Colonel Heuer chairman
and Walter Macarthur secretary.
The resolutions passed by the- whole
body and offered as recommendations
to the committee- were read, but the
committee felt it advisable to get the
statement of the officers of the Spring
Valley, water company regarding the
status of the company before taking
any action.
The , resolutions recommend . an ap
praisement of the plant of the Spring
Valley water company with a view to
ascertaining what water rate would
give the company a fair rate of in
terest on its Investment and also what
terms - would be proper in the event
that the city should acquire the plant;
that the Spring Valley water company
should give the city the option of pur
chase of the entire plant; that the city
attorney should drop litigation as to
water rates and that the action re
scinding the franchise should be re
voked.
, Captain' A. H. Payson, the president
of the Spring .Valley water company,
appeared before the committee at its
request and explained the standing of
the company. He said that the dam
ages resulting from the earthquake
had made it impossible for the com
pany to make the improvements that
were in fact already inaugurated be
fore that time. Most of the damage
had been repaired anfl improvements
in' the way of additional, appliances not
existing before the fire were being
added. He felt convinced that the
company would be able to keep the city
supplied with an adequate amount of
water.
The committee decided that it would
be well before making any recommen
dations to the city government to-se
cure from the company a statement
of the probable terms upon. which its
plant could be acquired s by the city.
Captain Payson agreed to consult the
board of directors and to notify the
committee as early- as -possible. r \
The executive. committee fe«ls that it
is absolutely . essential to have all the
facts from the water company's point
of view in -its 'possession before com
mitting itself to any course of action.
It is not considered wise to recommend
the revocation of . the action rescinding
the franchise nor to make any definite
recommendations regarding the ac
quisition of the plant before it is
known just what -the company may be
willing to do. Once in possession of all
the facts, the committee is disposed
to take Immediate action.
The next meeting of the committee
will be in the rooms of the merchants'
association next Friday at 2 o'clock.
JURY FINDS FOR LEVY,
BUT COURT DISSENTS
Verdict in Favor of Fight
Promoter Set Aside
by Judge v±
The fourth trial of the suit of the
Occidental realty company against Mor
ris Levy, for unlawful detainer of, the
premises at the corner of Laguna and
Grove streets, which Levy had turned
over to the occupancy of the -board of
supervisors at high rental shortly after
the fire," was held in Judge Murasky's
court yesterday and the Jury returned
a verdict for Levy. The victory of the
profit taking "subletter" of the admin
istration was shortlived, however,*! be
cause the court set aside the/ verdict
on the ground that Uie.jury had not
followed his Instructions.- The • point
involved ., was the provision of 'the
statute that rent tendered after suit
for ouster iis "begun" must be in legal
tender. , Levy's offer to , pay was- by
check and, on one occasion, by postal
money order.

CIVIC LEAGUE PLANS TO
BUY EXTENSIVE SYSTEM
Will Organize Permanently
: Upon Nonpolitical
'Lines TonigHt
EXPLAINS THE SCOPE
Wells Tells How It Is
Proposed to Buy the
• ; Water Works
The civic', league : of; San Francisco
will meet this evening at 8 o'clock in
Christian Science lower, hall at < Sacra
mento and Scott streets .» to organize
permanently.' .
"The^work that is cut out , for this
league; to do," said. Norton L.\"Wells; ; a
member of the organization committee,
"is unbounded- In its; scope and means
that the members must donate a" good
deal of their personal time, which* they
all have so far done willingly, to carry
out its-objects; ;The ; league is to be
absolutely nonpolitical, in fact the
rules are so strong. that no person who
holds an office, .no . person who -is 'a
candidate for an - office, and" no ap
pointee under a public official is' al
lowed.to be a
"The one great object is the civic bet
termejjt of- San Francisco. \. It is pro
posed to retire all the present 3^ per
cent bonds, reissue at ,least ; $75,000,000
of bonds, buy the Spring Valley water
works at an appraised,, Just value, re
build necessary . public buildings, in
cluding public schools, put. the streets
in. a proper "condition, -'complete a new
and modern system of sewerage and
such other. public improvements as may
be deemed necessary. \u25a0••»;
"It is proposed to have a series of
subcommittees, the chairman of each of
which shall begone of the executive
committee; of this league, which* shall
see that all the accounts of . tl^e dif
ferent official bodies are kept correctly
and . services given -.for .salaries ;
pended. No officer of this league is to
receive any salary. '
"From this general outline it will.be
seen that the men composing- the
league, who are from every line of busi
ness and trade, representing every .part
of. the city, are' shouldering ? a heavy
load purely for the! betterment of San
Francisco, to restore - our ,'.; financial
credit and. standing, not-, only, in .our
own city, but abroad.
"Tuesday's meeting \is to be held by
a representation -of all the improve
ment clubs and -civic, associations, of
the city, each such association. sending
delegates. The association is not- to be
confounded with the federated water
committee, which is now £ holding ses
sions, but ,is to work i with it. If the
public and the press are_ willing to do
their jshare .to support;; such a league
we can produce the' same results in
this city, as have been brought .about
in Boston,' in the towns of New. Jersey
and in Chicago. Being absolutely non
political and . nonsectarian, the league
should have hearty- support."
