POWER-HOUSE CONTRACT LET Building to Be Erected at Cost of $5750—Free Library Site Offered—Circus. The city trustees on Thursday evening accepted a bid from C. Schindler & Son to erect the new municipal electric light and water–works building at a cost of $5750. A second bid, from J. T. Long, a Los Angeles contractor, offering to do the work for $7850, was refused. Mr. Schenck, who was instrumental in getting the Los Angeles man to submit a bid, recommended that Schindler's offer be accepted, although he considered it about $1200 in excess of own figures. Plans for the structure his had been scaled down considerably since Schindler a month ago bid $9800 for the contract. Work upon the structure is to begin immediately and it is to be completed in ninety days. A committee consisting of L. E. Miller, J. S. Howard, and Dr. Johnson appeared before the board and offered the Konig lot at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets, as a site for the Carnegie library. The site was offered free, and a deed promised as soon as the city officially accepted the offer. Mr. Fiscus expatiated upon the advantages of the site, not the least of which is the fact that his fine residence adjoins it on the north. It was not only the most advantageously located in his opinion, but was larger than any provide a graduated license for cases. Carried. The ordinance will be introduced this evening's meeting, and will pass to print at a later date. Doubtful if Mr. Floto's show or more artistic ground and lofty liking than this. A petition bearing the names of Leah Dreyfus, Jos. Helmsen, & McCollum and other property-counsellors was presented asking for opening street from Lemon to Los Altos street, fifty feet in width, through block south of Center. The same filed and the attorney instructed prepare the necessary ordinance scinding action already taken for alley at the point where the street run, and to prepare a resolution tention setting in motion the legal chinery for opening the new street. The following collections were reported for February: Water, license, $547.25; lights, $849.05. $1656.40. Delinquents collected: ter, $14.30; lights, $69.95. Total, Delinquents reported: Water, lights, $23.45. Total, $62. Ree Howard reported 16 cases, and collected amounting to $89.30. Treasurer Hartung reported lowing funds on hand: General $3026.13; 1907 improvement fund, 718.60; improvement fund No. 1, 50; No. 2, $147; No. 3, $405; No. 4, Total in treasury, $36,684.23. Superintendent off streets repaired water connections and electric installed for new residences, a co-floor constructed for the fire department, and streets graded. Finance committee reported proval of bills amounting to $2783. Bonds of F. A. Backs, M. Nebb and J. J. Schneider, as commissioner for Broadway widening, in amou Kobig lot at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets, as a site for the Carnegie library. The site was offered free, and a deed promised as soon as the city officially accepted the offer. Mr. Fiscus expatiated upon the advantages of the site, not the least of which is the fact that his fine residence adjoins it on the north. It was not only the most advantageously located in his opinion, but was larger than any of the other sites he had heard about; but as none of them were represented at the meeting, he favored accepting the one offered forthwith. Mr. Kroeger said he had been informed that other sites would probably be offered if the competition were held open until the next meeting. Personally he favored the site offered, but he disliked taking whatever you call snap judgment on the other fellows. Mr. Darling was of the same opinion. He considered the site offered the best in town, but wanted to see if other sites would be offered. Mr. Rust thought no harm would be done if the matter went over a week or two. Fiscus argued eloquently for acceptance. The lot, he said, was situated at the corner of the principal residence street of the city and one of the best business streets. All automobile travel from Los Angeles to the San Juan mission, along the route of El Camino Real, passes right in front of the site, and he argued the library, placed where these eastern tourists could behold its beauties, would be an excellent advertisement of the city. J. S. Howard arose and offered several weighty suggestions in favor of accepting the proffered site, at conclusion of which the board resolved to defer action until this evening (the 21st.) H. L. Massie, representing the Sells-Floto circus, bucked the august council line for half an hour in an endeavor to get the circus license of $50 per day reduced so that his show could exhibit in this city. The show, he thought, was not so extensive as the Barnum & Bailey outfit, which could afford to pay the license, seating 15,000 people as it does. The seating capacity of his show was probably a third that of the larger circus. It was wintering at Venice, and railroad rates were so bilariously Superintendent off streets reported proval of bills amounting to $2783. Bonds of F. A. Backs, M. Nebel and J. J. Schneider, as commissioner for Broadway widening, in amount $5000 each approved with follow sureties: For Backs, R. Melrose; F. A. Backs, sr. For Nebelung Schneider, R. Melrose and J. Harn. The board also approved bonds M. Nebelung, J. J. Schneider and Schwenckert as commissioners opening alley in block north of C street, from Lemon to Los An street. Sureties for Schneider Nebelung are R. Melrose and J. tung, and for Schwenckert, Me and W. H. Spake. The following building permits issued: Schindler & Son, brick building West Center street for Strood Bros.; $3350. Strehle & Tedford, residence for W. Enfield, on East Broadway; John Rodreck, residence on street; $500. Engineer Steward submitted for cement sidewalks and curbing East Chartres, East Center, N Clementina and Helen streets. Same were adopted, and the city may instruct to prepare the necessary resolutions of intention. The board decided to utilize a switch constructed by the South Pacific on Santa Ana street near site of the proposed new powerhouse and ordered car-lots of freight bill for the city routed over that road. L. Fletcher submitted a letter received by him from Knoxville, T relative to the new Carnegie lib It was placed on file. Via Tehuntepec Route Bringing twelve thousand to general merchandise for Se dealers, the first cargo of fry from New York received in Scotia via the new Tehuntepec rail Floto circus, bucked the august council line for half an hour in an endeavor to get the circus license of $50 per day reduced so that his show could exhibit in this city. The show, he thought, was not so extensive as the Barnum & Bailey outfit, which could afford to pay the license, seating 15,000 people as it does. The seating capacity of his show was probably a third that of the larger circus. It was wintering at Venice, and railroad rates were so hilariously "out of line" that the only way he could bring his show here was to be given some concession by the city authorities as to the license. Rust thought the ordinance ought to stand as it is. Massie tried a new tack. He addressed Fiscus as "Noble," the two having recently traversed the burning sands of the Mystic Shriners, and taken sem-sem together, and he made an impression. He followed up his advantage by assuring the board they would be provided with courtesies, and that was the last of the ordinance. City Attorney Melrose pointed out that the only way to meet the circus man's offer was to repeal the ordinance, introduce another and pass it to print before the show reached town. As the date for the show was April 5th, it would be necessary to hold an extra meeting in order to do this municipal contortion act. It looked for a time that the solar plexus had been administered to Mr. Floto, but Massie came back strong on courtesies. This time the city attorney and city clerk were included, and he secured a touchdown. Fiscus moved, seconded by Darling, that the ordinance be amended so as to graduated license for circled. once will be introduced at meeting, and will be sent at a later date.

Mammoth Electrical Scheme SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.—The Great Western Power company, backed by eastern capital, is arranging to bring 420,000 electrical horse power into this city. The company is now working 500 men near the North Fork of the Feather River at a point called Great Bend, where the river forms a natural horseshoe, fifteen miles in circumference, with the two points within 15,000 feet of each other. Advantage has been taken of a tunnel 12,000 feet long, driven years ago by the Great Bend Mining Company, which spent over a million dollars in a fruitless attempt to exploit the placer gold of the river. Only 3000 more feet of the tunnel will need to be driven to reach the point of discharge. The flood water is to be sent through this tunnel with a fall of over 500 feet. The distance from Great Bend to San Francisco is 180 miles. The power will be brought on copper cables strung from steel towers, seven to the mile. In Plumas county a lake twenty-one miles long will be constructed for a reservoir available in times of drought. Though exceeded in amount of energy at Niagara, this project is one of the greatest engineering conceptions in the world. It will cost $25,000,000.

All out door work is suspended and everything wears a gloomy aspect. Of course the crops cannot grow without rain, but even the crops, could they speak would cry, 'Enough.' Fortunately the soil in the neighborhood of San Francisco and Oakland is porous and it only needs a day or two to dry things up. Before passing from liquids to something else I have in only one instance seen a man in an intoxicated condition here in this literary center. Even the ho boes are sober. And yet everybody drinks. In point of fact the Frisco saloons are crowded from morning 'til night. A peculiar item of news for the GAZETTE readers is that I have more then a score of times seen women in the highest degree hilarious; well dressed women and not of the tender-loin element either. I have seen them helped on and off the street cars and "All the world wondered:" not a bit of it, we only smiled. The lesson to be learned from this is that sherry is not a soft drink. Abe Ruef as you see by the papers is keeping things lively in 'Frisco. He was away and hid for a week while he was on trial before Judge Dunne. He has been recaptured and is now a prisoner in a stately hotel, but prisoner or free, Ruef owns San Francisco. Respectable people don't interest themselves in politics, and the other class are simply a plaything for a man. Notes to Creditors Estate of Henry F. Charleston, deed.
