A Dart of the oniric ion they concurred in, but another part they were sure was not sound. The opinion of the City Attorney was to the effect that the Board could use the money in the general fund to raise the mortgage; that the Board has the power use the school money in any way they may' deem proper; that the Board has the same power over the funds in the Department as a private citizen has over his own funds.

Work has been commenced at the foot of Clay street, San Francisco, on the new wharf and ferry slips, under the direction of W. H. Martin, who was awarded the contract by the Harbor Commissioners.

The old Commercial street wharf is being removed. This work will be completed to-morrow. A San Francisco paper Bays this is the oldest wharf in the bay, and is in a bad condition. The pilesf. as they are pulled out, give evidence of the work of that destructive marine insect known as the terredo.

This insect bores into piling, and honeycombs it completely in a few years. The new wharf will extend -from the north line of Market to the south line of Clay being .380 feet, in length. In this wharf will be made four slips three for the use of the Oakland ferry steamers. This work will take 2,600 piles of Oregon pine and 1,000,000 feet of lumber, and will cost $75,000. This includes the cost only of wharf, slips and approaches.

The work is to be completed by July 1, 1875. The Market- street Bailroad Company are already ex tending their tracks to this point. This improvement will work radical changes in the business of this part of that city. The Italian fishermen will move, and this will cause the removal of the many little saloons, cigar-stands, restaurants, the business ot which has heretofore been derived from this class of cus tomers. The bnck boats will land at Mission bay: T.
