John T. Flynn, engineer of the California Rivers and Harbors league and of the Mission Promotion association, representing the petitioners, points out in the communication that it costs no more to operate cars at maximum rapaclty than with few passengers. He adds that the municipal road could transfer with all right angle lines without placing any financial embarrassment or loss on the United Railroads, and names Fillmore, Devisadero.

Powell. Kearny and Third streets as transfer points that should insisted upon. In the compromise now pending the I'nited Railroads has agreed to exchange transfers with the city road only at Fillmore and Devisadero streets.

HEALTH BOAItD ATTACKED President Arthur H.

Barendt of the board of health made a strong plea before the supervisors yesterday for an eppropriation of $7,000 to tide the health department over the fiscal year, with the result that sharp clashes ensued between him and members of the supervisors' finance committee. to whom his request was finally submitted for investigation. "Tf the health board can not Its affairs with the money provided In the July budget, let the board resign and wo will get one that can," cried Supervisor Murphy. Supervisor McCarthy declared that a caving could be made by doing away with unnecessary positions, naming these of the chief sanitary inspector and rity physician. Barendt replied that the chief sanitary inspector absolutely essential to the work of the department.

hut that the board was ready to forego the office of city physician, held by Dr. Herbert Gunn. who receives a salary of $200 a month. "Even without the city.physician we will fare a deficit of a month," deolared Barendt. "We are in debt to the extent of $1,800 and can not pay our hills.

The action of the supervisors in taking $7,000 from our maintenance allowance and applying it to salaries of the department in order to prevent a reduction of salaries is the cause of the deficit. In subtracting this $7,000 from the $13,000 which originally was to have been our maintenance fund you l.aye crippled the department." Gallagher moved that $7,000 be allowed from the urgent necessity fund, hut the subject was finally referred to the finance committee for investigation and a report next Monday.

He suggests revision of the building laws an ordinance increasing tlie fire limits. Proposed ordinances regulating the sale and pasteurizing of milk were filed with the supervisors by the health de- I artment. Lieutenant Colonel McWilliamsen iuested the supervisors in a communiation to grant the United Railroads a revocable permit to build a street from Polk and Bay streets to connect with the line to be constructed by the company through the Fort Mason military reservation to the government docks.

Dalzeil Brown's Indemnity Bond Through the decision of tlie United States circuit court of appeals, handed down yesterday, the National Surety company will be compelled to pay the Western Pacific railroad the amount of an indemnity bond given by J. Dalzeil Brown to protect. the railroad corporation against any loss or personal dishonesty while lie was treasurer of the Western Pacific and manager of the California Safe Deposit and Trust company. The final opinion was written by Circuit Judges Gilbert and Charles E. Wolverton.

Circuit Judge E. M. Ross dissented. On two occasions shortly before the California Safe Deposit and Trust company went to the wall. Brown deposited $250,000 of the railroad's money In the bank.

The railroad company alleged in the suit against the surety company that Brown knew that the bank was insolvent at the time he made the deposits. The lower court gave the railroad judgment for the full amount. "The. important fact," says the decision of the upper court, "is to be borne in mind that the bank suspended during a time of general financial panic when many solvent banks were forced temporarily to close their doors, and that therefore the closing of the California Safe Deposit and Trust company did not have the significance that otherwise would attend such an incident and did not of Itself import insolvency. "We are of the opinion that there Is nothing in the evidence to indicate with any degree of deflniteness that the officers of the plaintiff knew prior to November 20.

1907. that Brown had been guilty of culpable negligence. The most that can. he said In favor of the defendant's contention Is that upon all the evidence minds of reasonable men might differ as to whether the officers the plaintiff had discovered facts that would probably indicate a loss to if under the provisions of the bond. Such being the case there was no error in submitting the question to the jury." The court affirmed the conviction of B.

Goodwin for murder in the first degree in Arizona. The Party On Hallowe'en, October 31. We have a world of helpful suggestions for the party, Black Cats. Goblins, and many appropriate table favors. Geo.
