ISSUE CERTIFICATES. NEW YORK, February 7. Judge Lacombe, in the United States Circuit Court here, has signed an order empowering Edwin C. Foster and Pearl Wight, ancilllary receivers of the New Orleans Railway Company to issue receivers certificates to the amount of $500,000. These receipts are be a lien on the assets of the New Orleans Company, following any previous receivers' certificates that may have been issued.

According to the order of the court, made in conformity with orders issued by Federal Courts of New Jersey and Louisiana, the certificates may be issued to any amounts deem-er convenient by the receivers and are payable on or before January 1, 1906, and to bear interest at 6 per cent. The money is to be used for betterments and equipment. The ordinance calling for a bond election on March 11 to deteijmlne whether or not the people of this city will bond themselves $5,700,000 to purchase the water scheme proposed by the Bay Cities Company, was finally passed by the City Council last night. The Councilmen present were Aitken, Baccus, Elliot, Fitzgerald, Howard, Meese, McAdam, Pendleton, Wallace, Cuvellier and President Dornin. Councilman Wallace made the motion.

It was seconded by Councilmen Baccus, Fitzgerald, Aitken and others. When the matter was put to a vote it was unanimously carried. There remains no other official act for the Council to perform relative i to calling the bond election. WILL FIX WATER RATES. The Council also set Wednesday evening of this week as the date on which the municipal body should begin to fix water rates.

There is no special time fixed at which the labors of the Council shall be completed, except that thev shall be completed before the end of the fiscal year. It is thought that the present Council will re-enact the same rates established last year. The ordinance fixing last year's rates has never been enforced owing to the United States Circuit Court of San Francisco issuing a restraining injunction. It is thought that the taking of testimony relative to the value of the Contra Costa water plant for rate fixing purposes will consume considerable time. ENGINEERS BILLS.

A. M. Hunt and J. M. Howells.

the two engineers who, with City Engineer Turner, experted the lands of the Bay Cities Water Company, put in claims to the City Council last night for $2,741.33 and $2,502.75 respectively, being for services rendered. The bills, which include the fee of $2,500 allowed by the City Council and the expenses of the engineers, were made out in duplicate. One was sent to the City Council and the other was sent to the Bay Cities Water Company, as each is supposed to pay half of the expense. City Engineer Turner, who is to be allowed the same fee as the other two engineers if it Is possible under the charter, did not prisent any claim to the Council last night. Both of the claims were referred to the Auditing and Finance Committee.
