BLAME FALLS ON COUNCIL Superintendent or Plant Tells Mayor That Appropriation Is $6000 Less Than Is Necessury for Main tenance and, Repairs. Mayor Lane declared to the City Health Board, at its regular meeting yesterday morning, that unless the City Council provides more money for the garbage crematory, that institution will be closed. Superintendent Dag gett asked for $6000 more than was granted by the Council, 'which may re sult seriously, should the Councilmcn refuse to reconsider or make further appropriation. The matter demands prompt attention, said Mayor Lane to' the board. There is a Ions, high bridse leading out to the garbage dump and crematory proper, which is in very poor condi tion and which may fall down at any moment, according to Superintendent. Uaggett. However, because of the ac tion of the Council in pruning down his estimate for the vcar $6000. he de clares, he has no funds with which to care for the elevated roadway and un less he can secure some funds for this work, he will be forced to close the road. This would also involve shut ting down the crematory, as no teams could reach the place in any other way. "We will simply have to notify the Council that we will have to shut up the crematory, unless they give us some more funds," said Mayor Lane. "We can't run the crematory on wind, and they may as well be aware of, the fact." It was decided that it would be best to communicate with the Council by letter, and Superintendent Daggett was requested to be present to speak on the matter at the meeting of the ways and means committee at tlie next reg ular Council meeting. Superintendent Daggett asked i for $20,000 for operating expenses, but this amount was cut to approximately $14, 000 $1000 less than he was granted for operation last year, . although the amount' of garbage collected is much larger. He eaid yesterday that. It' will require at least. $21100 to properly re pair the elevated roadway, and . he needed to make other alterations for the improvement of the service, whleh lie cannot now make because' of the lack of funds. - The condition of. the crematory has aroused muoh Indignation among the' residents where it is located, and it was said yesterday that some of the householders In the vicinity are con templating an injunction suit to stop the city from further operating the crematory, alleging it to be a nuisance. Harris. Portland; Rev. Robert Robe, Brownsville. A little more than tiO years ago a Mr, Taylor left his native town of Perth. Scotland, determined to seek his .fortune in .the Western republic, across the sea: and accordingly the year 1847 found him in New York City, where he soon found employment at his trade of cabinet making., at which he served an apprentice ship of seven -years before leaving "Auld Scotia."- . Ere long the paths of this young man and that of a bright and comely English woman; from Sunderland. Durham County, England, who had come to New . York, converged. and this acquaintance ripened into .affection, the culmination of which was marriage on June 14, 1S48. A little .later the young couple removed to Hamilton 'County, Ohio, where, upon July 9, 1849, a daugh ter was born. The desire of the husband to see more of "The West" burned in his veins, .hence it was . not long before the f aty removed to Iowa,, where a second child, a. boy, was born on January 5, 1SS1. Then it was that the . bright pros pects i or home building in the far-off Pacific Coast . came to the knowledge of the head of the family, and accordingly he crossed the plains, and after a journey of six months. withvox teams, arrived in this city on October '2, 1S52. yVr.

Ten 'were tried for Immorality, 10 for violation.' of the city ordinances, two for malicious mis chief, three for persistent truancy, six for incorrigibility", four cigarette smoking, four tobacco smoking,'- two disorderly conduct, five running . away, four other causes.

One ; of the myteries"of the day is the motive of the French press in trying, to-embroil the United States and Japan. The Amer icans here, who consider that they were very1 scurvily treated by France during the financial slump, , in view of the trar dltional relatione iietween the two coun tries, are very wroth . with the French comments.- Japanese, who have neithef likes - nor dislikes, content . themselves with disclaimnlg the warlike projects at tributed to them. An already . delicate situation has been further" complicated by indiscreet speeches both on the American and 'Jap anese side, and there is undoubtedly a feeling of apprehension that the arrival of the American fleet on the Pacific Coast may lead to outbursts and reprisals that may-end In the most serious possible mnnner. . The renewed Anglo-Japanese treaty, in its bearing on the position and obliga tions of England in the event of an American-Japanese war, is also attract ing attention, and it is evidently the opinion of some eminent jurisconsults that England is bound to observe neu trality in that contingency, and to assist Japan should any other power come to the aid of the United States. Beyond this, it is held, England should not go. WATER: F0RJ3AY .cities Plans Include Pipeline to Sierras af Cost of $100,000,000.

The details involve the purchase by each separate municipality 6f the pres- ent distribution system within Its owni limit and the creation of a metropolitan water commission by act of the Legisla ture, which shall acquire all the nearby sources and .sell water to the several cities at the points where the mains cross their boundaries. Ultimately it Is proposed that this commission shall build the pipe line to the Sierra and add the would be already in operation, for its delivery. Roughly the cost is estimated at $50. 000,000 by the purchaso of the present water supply in San Mateo.
