I notice in your issue of April that you mention the number of our buildings "wrecked." Hardly a step in the city is beyond repair such buildings as the Chro Examiner, Merchants Exc Flood, etc., will rear up the storied magnificence as proved ever did. It is simply a clearing away debris and new wood-work. The worst inconvenience are compelled to suffer at the temporary disability of ities. Water is again running bad as to preclude the possibility it for any purpose other than and even then it should be make it fit for house use it tered and boiled, which pro it so disagreeable to the task people if any use it.

Kellogg was received and filed: Santa Ana, May 3, 1906. Directors of A. U. W. Co.—Gentlemen: In accordance with instructions from your ditch committee I have made a survey of the North Branch ditch, from a point above the upper drop; to use the fall in said drops in throwing the ditch upon higher ground, in order to secure the assistance of the property owners along the line in constructing said ditch. The accompanying plan and profile shows the relative location, depth of cutting, grade and dimensions of ditch; it being understood that the side slopes are in all cases ½ to 1. The area between the old ditch and new or proposed line is 21 acres. The total length of ditch from the end of cement below flume to intersection with ditch at station 45, is 6300 feet, the new line is 4500 feet. To cement it will require 566 yards of gravel to make the walls 3 inches thick, and about 2240 bags of cement. If the owners (as proposed) excavate the ditch and do all the backfilling, I estimate the cost of labor to the company, in putting in the ditch at $1890, the cement at 75c per sack will cost $1680, making the total cost to the company $3670. Very respectfully submitted, H. CLAY KELLOGG. Communications from Waite, Baillie & Co. and from the Western Gas Engine company were filed. Bid of Chas. Jones for construction of a pit was filed. Communication from H. F. Gansner, the well borer, was filed. Regular applications for the transfer of stock were granted and that of Ida M. Powers was referred to the attorney the same to be transferred upon his recommendation. On motion of Sherwood, seconded by Gunderson, it was resolved that the compensation allowed the engineer, including team, shall not exceed eight dollars per day. Sherwood reported the second well as completed at a depth of 396 feet and with the same log as the first well. Now, a word to any "go who thinks of coming here." do it. You can't get a driver's town, if so stand on the road and beg for it. Personally never had such a thirst in mind the knowledge that I cannot only aggravates it.

EDITOR GAZETTE.—Frightful as is the calamity which reduced the best city on earth to a pitiful pile of smouldering embers, there are so many rays of sunshine breaking through our dark cloud of adversity, that what is left of the town and its people, are taking on that look and smile that don't come off. When on the evening of the 18th of April it became apparent that most of the city if not all of it was doomed, all but a few of the stoutest-hearted freely predicted that San Francisco would never again be anything but a cosmopolitan shipping town, or better village. Now everything is different. The new business streets up-town, Van Ness avenue and Fillmore streets, where the large retailers have temporarily established themselves, are with thousands of busy men, hither and thither in pursuit of accustomed occupations, or come readiest to hand. No blue. As a matter of fact, I ever known this community to better temper during my resition. Of our wholesalers have established temporary headquarters in Oakwing acted hastily when still the spell of fright and "rattles," by the shake and fire. But all come back again, for the reason that San Francisco is its very worst shape, still in market, and being so now, always In your issue of the 26th of that you mention the names of a of our buildings which were died." Hardly a steel building city is beyond repair, and soon buildings as the Chronicle, Call, Merchants Exchange, Jim etc., will rear up the 12 to 18 magnificence as proudly as they are. It is simply a question of away debris and installing work. Worst inconveniences that we spelled to suffer at present is pary disability of public utiliity is again running but is so bad include the possibility of using any purpose other than washing then it should be boiled. To fit for house use it must be filboiled, which process makes agreeable to the taste that few any use it. Mineral waters called waters are being used in quantities. Word to any "good-fellow" asks of coming here. Don't you you can't get a drink in this own, if so stand on the corners for it. Personally, I have he was right, and he made some vigorous remarks about the necessity of getting evidence against blind pigs, so that the city authorities may govern themselves accordingly. Darling admitted he did not know the city liquor limits included wholesalers, and suggested that Conrad's application be refused. Rust said Conrad's application had been hitherto rejected several times. The neighbors signed a lengthy remonstrance to his saloon, and he was of opinion that being outside the limits provided for saioons the application should be denied. Darling said that personal emnity toward Conrad should not be permitted to sway the board's judgment, and Stock replied he had none toward the gentleman, but objects to the continuance of his liquor joint for the good of the best interests of the city. An appeal being made to the city attorney as to the proper course of procedure, that official declared that Stock's motion seemed to him to be the only course open to the board. Stock renewed his motion. It was seconded by Kroeger and carried. Application of R. Wisser for transfer of his liquor license to his new building on Center street. Granted. Application of George Potter for moving tank house on Hatfield place to a site outside city limits. Granted. Engineer Steward being called upon said he had found many of the sidewalk posts designating street centers were in rotting condition and should be replaced with cement monuments. He had already found several of the old posts replaced by cement blocks, and suggested that all should be similarly replaced. He had recently found 45 or 50 posts in such condition that they should be replaced with cement block immediately. There were perhaps 80 of these street-center posts in RUINS OF ST.

Darling of the public imtits committee reported that Fossek had requested the of an additional crane on Centbetween Palm and West rasmuch as the distance benes was so great that he could water from one to the other. Mrs. Marshal's opinion being asked, that if Fossek would touch up a bit he would be able to cranes on time and no quessed.

He had recently found 45 or 50 posts in such condition that they should be replaced with cement block immediately. There were perhaps 80 of these street-center posts in the city. He recently uncovered one in an outlying section which had probably not been uncovered since being originally placed. It was in bad condition. The cost, he explained, would be from $1 to $1.50 for cement blocks to replace the posts already located, and probably $2 for the others. The board decided to have a number of cement monuments constructed. Mr. Stewart was instructed to make a drawing of a plan, the street superintendent will make a sally into the open market to purchase them. Then they will replace the redwood posts. Application of Henry Hussman for permission to add a second story to his building on Center street, to alter the same, and asking for use of part of street for brick and other building materials. Granted. Application of L. A. Imus for permission to construct a frame house costing $400 on East Broadway. Granted. Application of Elizabeth Porter for construction of an $800 house on Del Campo tract. Granted. Application of O. L. Thompson for erection of barn on Philadelphia street. Granted. Application of F. Heying for alteration of frame building on Center street, formerly occupied by Hatfield’s fruit store. Stock declared himself to be against “holes in the wall” of all descriptions, holding they kept men from erecting new buildings. “If men can get cheap rents,” he declared, “there will be no object for the erection of more expensive structures. This case is the first to come before us, but there will be a dozen like it before long.” The application was after further discussion granted, the board taking the view that the contemplated alterations were in the nature of an improvement to the property. Fiscus said he had looked over the place, and was satisfied the alterations would enhance its appearance.
