The fire had gotten a suirt around the boiler, burning through the upper deck into the cabin and above there about the pilot-house, a good sized blaze being in evidence about the pilot-house at one time.

Talking; liberal salary and ware in creases for city employes Is one thin? looking; at the balance sheets of the city treasury department is quite an other. Taking: the two propositions to tether the City Council faces a per plexing; problem. With the S per cent tax limitation law starinfr the city in the face, the Council can see nothinaT but municipal bankruptcy ahead unless some means can be devised of sidetracking the tax law or obtaining: money in some other way. For the present year the City Council provided in the tax levy only sufficient money to meet the payroll and the cur rent bills lor the year. With vast In creases in the cost of materials and supplies since the budget was adopted and with the demands from every side for salary and wage Increases, the total amount available for the year will fall far short. Ex pea, to Increase S2OO.0OO. To grant to the police and fire bureaus the increases the men are de manding; will Involve an additional ex pense of approximately $200,000 for the balance of the present year, according to figures compiled yesterday by City Commissioner Bigelow. Adding 8 per cent to the total tax roll of the present ear the addttlonaUamount tltat can be raised for general purposes for next year will be but S125.OV0 more than the amount for this year. On top of all this the $300,000 In crease to firemen and policemen (which would be about a 10 to 15 per cent In crease) no provision is made for ad vancing salaries of other employes, in cluding laborers and skilled employes who are quitting right and left for more profitable employment. With over $200,000 additional ex pense looming and only $125,000 addi tional possible revenue in sight, th situation is serious. Rise in Wages Xeedeal. It has been determined that In creased salaries and wages is all that can save the police, fire and several other departments from complete dis ruption. The police force has-been seriously handicapped .already as has also the fire bureau. On many oc casions recently fire machines have had to be checked In as "out of serv ice." because of the inability of the fire chiefs to get men to man the ma chines. This Is true particularly with engineers in the fire service. Members of the Council have reached the conclusion that the only hope in th. proposition is aom amendment f the 6 per cent tax limitation law so that the amount of revenue for next year can be increased sufficiently to keep the city going. It is probable that work of formulating a measure to be submitted to the voters at the special city election May 17 will be started ' and that the voters will be asked to come to the relief of the city at least for the period of the war when a S per cent tax increase is insufficient to meet the emergency propositions caused by the war together with the vat increases in the cost of all ma terials and supplies.

Charges against three liquor dealers here, in dicted some time ago by the United States grand jury in Tortland, Or., on a charge of conspiring to ship intoxi cating liquor into prohibition territory, were dismissed today when United States District Judge M. T. Dooling de nied a motion asking their removal to Portland, on the ground of lack of suf ficient evidence. The men released were William Hunt, Timothy Dwyer and Frank J. Lepslc. Judge Dooling held that the statute does not provide penalties for persons who sell liquor that is shipped subse quently into prohibition territory, only providing for the punishment of per sons wno purchase liquor for that pur pose. Hunt and Dwyer, owners of th Will iam Hunt Liquor Company, and Lepsic, owner and proprietor of the Bohemian Liquor Company, all of San Francisco, west indicted by the Federal grand ' Jury in this city March 5 for an al leged conspiracy, involving 26 other defendants, to ship liquor from San Francisco into this state in violation of the Reed amendment.
