to De used in connection with the fire-
alarm system of this city. The city is
in urgent need or those supplies st this
time. There Is a clause contained In the
grant of the Paclfio Telephone A Tele
graph company which vesta In th city
council the authority to compel said
company to Install such wires as may
De necessary to operate the fire-alarm
system of this city after your honorable
body gives said company 90 days notice
to do so. I would respectfully suggest
that soma action be taken at an early
date In respect to this matter.
During the year 1907 there waa some
izo.uuu appropriated oy tne city coun
cil for the purchase of underground ca
ble. This appropriation waa split Into
soparate items and tne money was ex
pended in the manner and for the spe-
rlflo purposes ordered by your honor-

through your committee of ways and
means the oueatlon aa- to whether the
city or tn noma xeiepnone company
should aaume th cost of such expendi
ture. .
"The power of the city to aasesa th
coat of such underground cables Is much
greater and more definite in the orovl
sions of the Pacific Telephone & Tele
graph company than with th Horn
Telephone company, and such power is
vested directly In your handa, and it
seems a pity (assuming that the cltv
can enforce the terms of such contract)
that your honorable body had not ao-
eptea tne oner made to it to check over
ail estimates, and been leas intent In
splitting rp the appropriations for the
conduct or tne city business, in a man
ner designed to hamper and delay th
aaminiatration or tn same.
I hope that vou will take action In
this matter and will not lonrer delay
action in respect to some otner Iran
chines to which your attention has been
called. HARRT LANE, Mayor.
