Owing to the depart mental expenses
•which must be confined within the $1
limit Latins increased in a much
i^roater ratio during the last three
years than the assessed valuation of
property, the entire amount of $4,800.
t>oo was found necessary to meet the
demand for departmental operating ex
penses, without leaving any margin to
be devoted to the betterment of streets
: j .nd otiier improvemente; therefore,
special taxes were levies, to pay for
the last mentioned Improvements,
\u25a0which hav<» hitherto been largely met
under the ?1 limit. I have had neither
time nor opportunity to make a close
of .the departmental expenditures
during the patt administration, and
shall, therefore, reterve my judgment
as to the,,garne until a careful investi
gation shall have been made.
The special taxes levied for I 1I 1 .
interest and redemption are necessary
imder the law. and as the years pass
by, this tax will continue to increase
until all indebtedness shall have been
paid.
The levy of 7 cents for park fund
is a:i expenditure which I believe every
citizen is glad to pay. in order that
tkilden Oate park and other parks may
ho maintained in the proper manner
and improved from time to time in
keeping with The advantages and pleas
ures-derived by our citizc-ns and visit
ors from them.
Of the rpecial tax levy of SO cents for
\u25a0streets; sewers and other improvements
hereinbefore enumerated, a lnrge por
tion of this money has been devoted to
.permanent improvements * which will
l>rrform their particular functions and
preclude the necessity for further tax
ation for the same purpose, except in
the matter of repairs.
In view of the fact that our tnx rate
will continue to increase until such
time as the assessed valuation of r^al
and personal property through im
provement and embellishment of prop
erty shall meet the ordinary and ex
traordinary demands upon our ex
chequer. I advise a most careful and
economical expenditure of the public
funds. All departments must be ad
ministered in a manner that shall re
tvrn -the greatest amount of benefit for
tho least amount of mon^y spent.
Jn making this recommendation I do
not advise the curtailment of service
or tbe impairment of the efficiency -of
any department, but I do recommend
most strongly the exercise of the most
careful and soundest business judg
ment in all matters financial.
Where extravagance can be stopped,
however small, the accumulation con
sequent thereupon will provide many
necessary improvement? which other
wise will have to be met by direct, or
dinary or extraordinary tax levy.
Again, with ihe vast areas of unini
\u25a0proved property -with which our city
abounds, in a city which presents pres
ont and prospective opportunities
business and commercial development
and personal gain to the investor, ex
treme care should be exercised to make
such investment the most inviting by
holding the tax rates to the minimum
of necessity consistent with an active
and progressive administration and a
comprehensive and businesslike cam
paign of public improvement.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The efficiency of our fire department
should be improved with the latest and
most approved devices for fighting fire.
Our experience has been such that we
can not put too high a value iipor
fully equipped and efficient department.
Every means consistent with sound
business judgment chould be afforded
the fire department to meet any emer
gency. I would suggest that in addi
tion to the auxiliary fire protection
system now being installed the mem
bers of the department be taught
the proper use of dynamite and a com
prehensive plan be adopted by which,
in case of extraordinary emergency, a
conflagration could be confined within
certain limits in case all other means
<>f fire fighting fail, as was the case in
the disaster of April. 1906.
Consistent with an economical ad
ministration, the conservation of pub
lic funds and the most general and
comprehensive plan of public improve
ment so far as necessities are con
cerned. I would urge that a movement
he made in the direction of beautifica
tlon of our city. At intervals our pub
lic spirited citizen? have contributed
monuments and statuary here and
there, but it seems to me the proper
Incentive is lacking whereby many of
our citizens would hail with delight
th© opportunity to assist in the beau
liiication of our city were the way to
<5o so revealed, to them. Many of our
citizens undoubtedly stand ready and
willing to perpetuatft the history and
traditions of this western land in mon
uments and statuary emblematic there
of were suggestions by way of a gov
ernmental plan of municipal beauti
fication propvrly presented.
Moreover, while various districts are
still unbuilt and the lands contained
tlierein are. purchasable today at a less
price than they will ever again be
available, some movement should be
made to beautify such districts with
properly laid out streets, parks and
boulevards and obviate future unsight
ly end poorly planned areas, which are
•bound to result in case no attention is
paid to the same. - -
The Outdoor Art league is a move
ment in the right direction and should
receive every encouragement from the
xauniclpality in its laudable work.
I would therefore recommend that
your honorable body take such action
as will bring the matter of the beau-
Tification of our city to the attention
<>f our citizen? by having adopted the
plan herein mentioned.
EXPENDITURES BY^L AST
ADMINISTRATION
Tj> those without the pale of the in
ner circle of municipal activities the
. details of the work done are absolutely
unknown. It Is only through rumor or
street gossip that glaring mistakes or
malconduct become known-
If the few remarkable facts which
. have come to my knowledge are ,any
indication the secret pigeon holes and
private drawers of the municipal de
partments must contain many facts in
teresting to the tax payers.
Among those transactions which
liave consumed many millions of the
public funds street talk has brought to
light several which, to my mind, should
receive a full explanation. ... \u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0
In 1908 the city voted 51,000.000 for
the purpose of taking care of garbage.
In 1596 the Sanitary reduction works
received an exclusive francise - from
the city for the period of CO years Ito
handle all garbage, at prices fixed for
handling the same to be paid by scav
engers and others requiring the dis
posal of the same.
The price paid bj* the franchise hold
ers was $2,510 and the further pay
ment of 2 per cent for the term of 15
years after the date of the franchise
and 5 per cent for the remaining term
of 30 years on the gross amount of re
ceipts derived under the franchise.
The plant of the Sanitary reduction
works is located in the block. bounded
by Rhode Island. De Haro, Alameda
and Fifteenth streets. 1 am informed
that the Sanitary reduction works have .
never been a financial success. The 2
per cent payment to the city under the
franchise would have expired. in Janu
ary. 1911. when the 5 per cent pay
ment would have begun had the Sani
tary reduction works continued 'to 'op
erate under Its franchise. . . .". :' \u25a0"\u25a0"\u25a0-

Payot chairman, re^ rte * **™ I ? b £
to the board upon the purchase or
JSe plant of the Sa«xitarT rednctlon
work* In the sum of f400,000, nhich
sale xm» consummated, thereby rellev
fnjc the Sanltnry reduction vrork» of all
further liability to the city. "
The sum of $350,000 was paid in
cash and the company g iven , an ***!: n :
sion or lease of the plant to operate
the same under the terms of the origi
nal franchise for a period of two y«*a"-
This is for the full term under which
the company was obligated to _ pay the
city 2 per cent and before the 5 per
cent period under the franchise began.
I am further Informed that the In
come to the city from this sourcehas
been in the neighborhood of 51.,000
per year. Whether the same has been
paid for tbe current fiscal year I am
not informed, but as the city still
holds $50,000 of the original purchase
price I feel that the city is secured in
I have ninee been Informed that there
in more or lens objection to the loca
tion of the Incinerator at the before
mentioned location and that the nfore
«altl committee, Mr. Henry l'ayot
chairman, has recommended .to tl»e
board of nupervisorit that the property
be sold for the «mm of $200,000, but
xuch wale has not been consummated.
Thu» It will be «een that the sum of
$400,000 ha* been paid for this prop
erty, together with the assortment of
Junk thereon In tbe shape of an In
cinerator, or *200,000 In excess of Its
value. The Sanitary reduction Works
has been relieved ot a white elephant
at n very handsome figure, which in
nil probability will bring to its -stock
holders par value or better for a very
Inferior stock. , \u0084
The cltv Is now confronted with the
important problem of the disposal of
the enrbase The before mentioned
committee, Mr. Henry Payot chairman,
recommended to the board that at least
two Inelneratinjc plants be established
In lieu «f the former one and the board
proceeded to ncqulre property at North
beach and !*outh San Francisco.
The North beach purchase is so |
unique that it is interesting and worthy
of mention.- ' . - - —
In December, IDOS. Citizen Meyer
"Wood sold to Citizen Daniel Roth two
SO vara lot* at Bay and Taylor streets.
The deed recited the consideration to
be flO, although like property of the
same dimensions In the same locality
and equally as good, xold at the same
time for $27,500.
On Xo»«embcr 12, 1000, Citizen Hoih
conveyed thin same property to Cltl
*en AValter 11. Linforth, the son In law,
«f 3lr. Henry Payot, the aforesaid
chairman of the aforesaid committee, :
and on the same day, Citiien Walter
11. Linforth conveyed the property to
the city and county of San Francisco
for the mm of 980,000.
It Is said that contrary to all cus
tom, Mr. -Henry Payot- personally car
ried tbe demand drawn for the pay
ment of this property in the sum of
*SO,OOO from the clerk's office to the
office of his honor, former Mayor
Taylor, for the lattcr'tt signature, first
having had the same taken from the
bunch of demands passed by the board
on the previous day.
There is a marked difference of opin
ion as to the value of this property be
tween Assessor Dodge (who Is com
pelled under the law to assess property
at 60 per cent of its value) and the
board of supervisors. Assessor Dodge
has assessed this particular property
as follows: 1905, $18,650; 1906. $11,910;
1907, $17,850; 1908, $18,450: 1909. $18,
450. lam inclined to believe the as
sessment a- just one. •
The forcßoinif reveals the. facts that
our city- has paid the enormous ' sum
of $80,000 for property which was worth
In 1005 not to exceed 530,000, and dur-
Inu the Interim has never been assessed
iilioVe $18,850. " ,
A similar transaction was attempted
by which the second piece of . proper! y
for Incinerator purposes came near be
ing; sold to the city. This property Is
located' ln South, >,a.n, Francisco and be
longs to former Supervisor Center. Tire
deal would have been accomplished
bad not former Supervisor Center dis
covered that he was purchasing: for
the city property owned by himself. ' ".
In this instance Mr. Charles 11. Mark*
was tbe middleman, and he agreed lo
convey and the city agreed to buy 70,
000 square feet of land in Potrero
Xuevo block Ao. 130 (no other descrip
tion > for the vast sum of $70,000. .. '
Assessor Dodge in this case- also
takes a different view of the valuation
of the property. The assessment rolls
show the following: 1905. $7^800; 190S,
land, $16,600, Improvements,. s7oo;. 1909,
land, $24,200, lm.provements v .5700.
The ordinance purchasing this prop
erty in tbe sum of $ 70,000. was finally
approved by former Mayor Taylor on
November 16, l!H)d. (Resolution Xo.
4763 new series). " ' ,•
Supervisor Center then caused the re
peal of this ordinance by resolution Xo.

The f oregrotns shows that the city
barely escaped paying $70,000 for lands
which at no time have carried an as
sessment at over $24,900.
Another remarkable fact revealed . by
the public records is that in the purchase
of the many pieces of land for the
different departments of the municipal
ity, these are the only pieces purchased
outside or the office of the city at
torney. The latter official has pur
chased during the last fiscal year land
in the vast sum of $1.259,67144, appor
tioned as follows.: For fire protection
.(bonds 190S), $100,512.50; hospital con
struction (bonds 1908), $218,929.49;
school sites (bonds 1908), $596,616.69;
hair of justice (bonds' 1804). $163,113;
water supply (bonds 1909), $122,963. 50;
sewer construction (bonds 1908 — rights
of way), $14,020; purchase of nre lots
(special tax). $33,280; police department
(special tax), $1,075; - fire ; department
(special tax, 1908-1909), $9,160.96, ag
gregating; the sum of $1,259,671.44.
There are other expenditures of a
questionable character which, according;
to the opinion of the city attorney, are
unlawful and the raising of salaries
fixed by the charter, through I ordi
nances of the supervisors and other
wise, in many departments. These ex
penditures affect \u25a0 many of the high
priced employes of the .city, some of
whom are nonresidents and others who
are employed and paid handsome* sal
aries even without the ordinary for
mality of. a resolution or ordinance of
the supervisors dignifying the employ
men^ or fixing the salary. '
Another item, inconsequential in com
parison to others, is the salary paid to
Attorney Stockslager of Washington.
D. ,C, who receives the handsome sal
ary of about $5,000 per year for the
purpose of "watching" the Hetch
Iletchy proceedings at the seat of the
national government/ ': : : \u25a0
Among- the many other items' of ex
travagrant expenditure which, our mu
nicipal book keeping system - contains
is the entry showing the payment to
Dillon & Hubbard of New York the
sum of $20,000 for an opinion upon the
validity of .the bond issue of 1908.
I have the utmost respect for the
reputation" and standing of this firm
of New York lawyers.. I havo also a
greater respect for- the reputation and
standing of many members of the San
Francisco and California bar. I am a
firm believer in home industry.-'. It is a
peculiar fad of modern financial.oper
ations that the validity of municipal
bonds must -have the- approval of a sin
gle •firm of lawyers - located tin New
York city, pr tho bonds are considered
anundesirdble secuiityin the eyes of
the bond buyerst I can- not compre
hend the situation, and if I did and
found this procedure necessary, I would
