Missing Restaurateur
Arrested; in Sacramento
Confesses to Burglary
COUNCIL'S TRANSFER
OF $25,000 BLOCKED
City Auditor Fears Switching of
Sewer Funds to New Work
Is Unlawful
San Pablo Drainage Duct Is
Deferred Until Legal
Knot Is Untied
OAKLAND. Feb. 6.— Believing -that
action of the city council !n transfer
ring from the sewer bond fund ah ex
cess of $25,000 to- the regular 'Wwer
fund for a storm sewer from San Pablo
avffsue east to Lake Merritt was .'not
legal, the city auditor has heJd up the
sctual transfer of the money pending a
decision of the city attorney.
The transfer was made Monday, by
the council, when two resolutions were
adopted, one directing the transfer of
the probable excess from the bond fund
to the . regular sewer fund, and the
other making the appropriation of $25,
000 for the building of the badly needed
Pan Pablo avenue storm drainage sewer.
On Inquiry Deputy Auditor Wade,
representing Auditor Gross, learned
that the beard of public works had. not
passed any resolution directing the
transfer or making official note of the
excess which it is believed will be left.
The sewers under construction accord
ing to the bond issue not being actually
completed, the auditor also questions
whether the excess legally can be
transferred before the whole work for
which the city was bonded Is finished,
accepted and paid for.
In case any part of the bond issue
sewers are not according to contract,
or if changes are needed and not per
formed bjr the contractors, an emer
gency fund will be required that the
«*ity may complete the work. While the
bonds of the contractors In such an
event could be held for the amount ex
pended, the collections from the bonds
men could be made only after th%
rr.oney is paid out by the city. j
The auditor also questions whether
the procedure of the council was sound
in directly transferring the money from
the bond issue fund to the sewer fund.
The cJty attorney In his opinion wJll
state whether this action vr&n the
proper method of paklng the transfer
or whether the excess should have been
placed In the greneral fund and from
there, diverted to the sewer fund for
special appropriation.
The works board has taken no formal
action looking to the building of the
drainage sewer. At the last meeting
the work was discussed, but no resolu
tion asking the appropriation of the
money was adopted, as is the customary
proceeding. It Is admitted that the
fpwer Is necessary and that every mem
ber of the council and board of works
favors the building of the. sewer; it is
also considered certain that there will
be the excess-from the sewers built un
4er the bond issue, but the means pf
makir.jr the transfer is under f>re.
In case the opinion of the city attor
ney will sanction it, the resolution of
the council calling for the ?25,P0f> ap
propriation will be accepted by the au
ditor as legal guaranty for the mu
nicipal transaction. In cas»» the sewers
under the bond issue, must be completed
before the transfer can be made, the
building- of the much needed San Pablo
Fewer will be held up.

. On taking the . bench Judge Ogden

submitted list of 75 was placed within
the receptacle. The^names were type
written on small slips of paper and
each slip was folded twice and then
bent nearjy double. The box was
shaken, and Cook . took out. the slips
separately, reading each name. The
first was that of Robert Fraser. \u25a0 V^

Among the names drawn, today was
that of Gsorge R. Miller of 2110 Santa
