SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF CLASS "B" BUILDINGS. Section 108. Class "B" buildings shall have a complete frame of columns, girders and beams made of reinforced concrete. The structural parts of the floors shall be of reinforced concrete and the walls may be of reinforced concrete, brick, terra cotta, or concrete blocks. Steel roof trusses constructed jn accordance with the requirements for Class "A" buildings shall be per- mitted in Class "B" buildings. Materials — Tests and Allowable Stresses. Section 109. The concrete shall be mixed in the proportion of not less than one of Portland cement to six of aggregates, consisting of sand and gravel or broken stone of not more than one inch major dimension for curtain walls, columns, slabs, girders and beams, and two inches major dimen- sions for basement walls and foundations. The proportions shall be such that the resistance of the concrete to crushing shall not be less than two thousand pounds per square inch after hardening for 28 days. In concrete the following allowable stresses in pounds per square inch shall not be exceeded : In direct compression, one-fifth of the ultimate compressive strength, but not to exceed 500 pounds in any case. In helically wound or hooped columns one-fourth of the ultimate com- pressive strength, but not to exceed 700 pounds in any case. In compression in outer fibre in cross bending one-fourth of ultimate compressive strength, but not to exceed 500 pounds in any case. In shear one-tenth of allowable stress in outer fibre in cross bending, but not to exceed 75 pounds in any case. No tensile stress shall be taken by the concrete. In adhesion of concrete to steel 60 pounds per square inch of concrete in contact with steel for plain bars and 100 pounds for deformed bars. When the safe limit of adhesion is exceeded some provisions must be made for transmitting the strength of the steel to the concrete. Steel shall bend, when cold, through an angle of 100 degrees around a radius equal to five times the thickness of the test piece, without fracture on the outer circumference. The fracture shall be silky or fine granular. All steel shall be free from dirt, paint and excessive scale and rust. In steel the following allowable stresses in pounds per square inch shall not be exceeded : In tension one ihird of the clastic limit, but not to exceed 20,000 pounds in any case. In shear 10,000 pounds. BUILDING ORDINANCES. 35 In compression IS times the allowable stress in direct compression in the concrete. The ratio of the moduli of elasticity of concrete to steel shall be taken as one to fifteen. Design in General. Section 110. The bending moments due to uniformly distributed loads shall not be taken less than : WL-8 for beams simply supported at the ends. WL-12 for continuous beams. WL-20 for square floor slabs which are reinforced in both directions and are supported on all sides and constructed continuous. W equals the total uniformly distributed load. L equals the length of span. For concentrated loads the allowed moment shall not exceed that due to an equivalent uniformly distributed load. The moment of resistance of any reinforced concrete construction under transverse loads shall be determined by formulas based on the following conditions : (a) The bond between the concrete and steel is sufficient to make the two materials act together as a homogeneous solid. (b) The strain in any fibre is directly proportionate to the distance of that fibre from the neutral axis. (c) The modulus of elasticity of the concrete remains constant within the limits of the working stresses fixed in this Ordinance. The dimensions of such a beam or girder and its reinforcement shall be determined and fixed in such a way that the strength of the metal in tension shall measure the strength of the beam or girder. If the concrete in com- pression, including the allowable concrete in adjoining floor construction, does not afford sufficient strength for that purpose, the compression side of the beam or girder in question shall also be reinforced with metal. Reinforced concrete construction shall be designed so that the shearing stresses, both vertical and horizontal, developed in any part of the con- struction, shall not exceed the safe working strength of the concrete as fixed in this Ordinance, or sufficient amount of steel shall be introduced in such a position that the deficiency in the resistance to shear is overcome. All beams or girders shall be reinforced with metal, if necessary, for other reactions. Neither the reinforcing metal nor the concrete shall be subjected to combined stresses in the same place so as to exceed in combination the stresses allowable separately. Reinforcement. Section 111. If it is necessary to splice reinforcing members either in compression or in tension, the splice shall be either a steel splice that in 'tension will develop the full strength of the member or else the members shall be lapped in the concrete for a length equal to at least the following: For plain bars of medium steel, forty times the diameter or maximum diagonal of cross section. For plain bars of high elastic limit steel, seventy times the diameter or maximum diagonal of cross section. In no case shall the reinforcement of beams or girders be spliced. If the hooping of columns is spliced the splice shall develop the full strength of the least section of the hooping. Steel shall be imbedded in concrete so that the thickness of concrete covering outside of steel shall be as follows : For flat slabs, not less than three-fourths (^) of an inch. For columns and beams, not less than two (2) inches. 36 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. For foundation, not less than three (3) inches from earth at sides and top, and six (6) inches from earth at bottom of slab. Where the shape of the reinforcement is such that it does not give sufficient bond to the concrete insulation, such reinforcement shall be wrapped with wire or otherwise prepared as required in Section 104 for fireproofing of structural steel. Any concrete structure or floor filling in same, reinforced or otherwise, which may be erected on a permanent centering of sheet metal, or metal lath and curved bars, or a metal centering of any form, must be strong enough to carry its loads without assistance from the centering, unless the concrete is so applied as to protect the centering as herein specified for reinforcing steel. Exposed metal centering or exposed metal of any kind will not be considered as a factor in the strength of any part of any concrete structure, and a plaster finish applied over the metal shall not be deemed sufficient protection. Floor and Roof Slabs. Section 112. The general provisions as to design shall hold for floor and roof slabs, which shall be of reinforced concrete. No floor slab shall be less than 3^ inches thick. No roof slabs shall be less than 3 inches thick. The covering may be wood, marble, cement, tile or other material, but such covering shall not be considered as part of the thickness required for slabs. The floor slab to the extent of not more than five times its depth on each side of a beam or girder, may be taken as a part of said beam or girder in computing the moment of resistance of the beam or girder, but the beam and slab must be built at the same time as a unit. Where beams, girders and slabs connect in such a way that there is a corresponding member on the opposite side of each support they may be taken as continuous. Wherever possible, beams arid girders and also their intermediate floor construction shall be made continuous. Reinforcing metal shall be used for that purpose in the top of all connecting members at the point of support, and it shall be sufficient both in section and length to prevent fracture at the point of support when the connecting members are carrying twice their calculated loads ; and in no case shall the area of metal provided for continuity be less than 75 per cent of the area of metal allowed for tension in the bottom flange. Continuity or separate reinforcing material may be used in the top of the slab. In either case, however, if a part of the slab is considered as a part of the beam or girder, the reinforcing material must cross the full width both of the beam or girder and the part of slab so considered. Design of Columns. Section 113. Columns of reinforced concrete shall not have an unsup- ported length exceeding fifteen times the least horizontal dimension, which shall not be less than 10 inches. In computing the strength of columns the 2 inches of concrete nearest the surface shall be deducted from the area of concrete. In columns subjected to cross-bending the unit stresses from combined loadings shall not exceed the allowed stresses for direct compression. All columns shall have vertical steel reinforcing members, the net area of cross section of which shall be at least one per cent and not more than five per cent of the area of concrete in cross section where rods are used. These members shall be stayed against buckling at points whose distance apart does not exceed the least diameter of the column. The stays shall have an area of at least fivq one-hundredths of a square BUILDING ORDINANCES. 37 inch. Where structural shapes are used for reinforcing they shall be designed as provided for similar members in Class "A" buildings, and any concrete calculated to take compressive stress shall be enclosed in said reinforcement or otherwise reinforced as herein provided. Vertical reinforcing members which are considered in compression shall have full perfect bearings at each joint, and such joints shall occur only at floors or other points of lateral support and tight-fitting sleeves and splice bars shall be provided at all such joints. Suitable base plates shall be provided at the bottom of columns to dis- tribute the column loads over the footings. The allowed stresses in columns shall not exceed one-fifth of the ultimate resistance to direct compression per square inch on the concrete and in the steel the allowed stress shall be computed from the corresponding com- pression except in hooped or helically wound columns. Columns which are hooped with steel near the outer surface in the shape of circular hoops or of a helical cylinder, and if the minimum distance apart of the hoops, or the pitch of helix does not exceed one-tenth of the diameter of the hooped or helical cylinder, may have the strength assumed as the sum of the following two elements. 1. The area of the concrete inside the hoops at one-fourth of the ultimate strength in direct compression in pounds per square inch, but not to exceed 700 pounds per square inch in any case. 2. The compressive resistance of the longitudinal steel reinforcement at 15 times the allowed stress on concrete in direct compression. 3. The hooping is to be designed of a strength to resist the tension due 10 a unit lateral pressure of one-fifteenth the unit compression stress on the concrete. Splices in hooping, if required, and anchoring of same shall develop full strength of hooping. Wind Bracing. Section 114. The provisions of Section 89 of this Ordinance, relating to Class "A" buildings, shall apply to Class "B" buildings, and in addition the reinforcing of columns shall be connected so as to develop its full strength in tension. Walls. Section 115. Walls of Class "B"' buildings may be built as provided in Sections 90 to 96 inclusive of this Ordinance relating to Class "A" buildings, and provided that self-supporting curtain or exterior walls of brick may not be used for buildings exceeding four (4) stories in height. Reinforced Concrete Walls. Section 116. Reinforced concrete walls shall be at least six inches thick. If the area of wall surface included between any two adjacent wall columns and adjacent floor girders exceeds 300 square feet and is less than 400 square feet, the thickness of the wall shall not be less than eight inches. If the area exceeds 400 square feet, the wall thickness shall not be less than twelve inches, supported on the frame at each story. In reinforced concrete walls the area of steel reinforcement shall aggre- gate one-half of one per cent of the area of the concrete, and one-half shall be placed vertically and one-half horizontally. No reinforcement shall be spaced more than 24 inches apart. Additional reinforcement shall be placed around openings, and all reinforcement shall be wired at each intersection. All reinforcements shall be rigidly connected at columns and girders to the steel reinforcement of the same. Reinforced concrete walls may be built in the form of bearing walls of uniform sections, and of same thickness required for brick walls. 38 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. If walls are built of piers and connecting walls, the piers shall be cal- culated and constructed as columns. The connecting wall, if built of rein- forced concrete without windows, may be considered as self-supporting, in which case the thickness, shall be six inches in the upper 40 feet, followed by an increase of three inches in thickness for every additional 40 feet in height. Where such walls are pierced by openings for doors and windows, the entire loads shall be concentrated on the piers which shall be proportioned as columns. Partitions and Ceilings. Section 117. Partitions and ceilings shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 106 and 107 of this Ordinance relating to Class "A" buildings. Construction. Section 118. The following conditions shall be observed in reinforced concrete construction: The concrete shall be mixed as wet as possible and deposited without causing a separation of the cement from the mixture. It shall be placed in the forms as soon as practicable after mixing and in no case shall concrete be used which has been wet more than one hour. Joints in concrete poured at different times shall be made at such places as will not lessen the strength of the construction. Joints with old concrete shall be made by cleaning and roughening the old concrete and covering same with cement grout. Forms shall be of sufficient strength to preserve their shape, and tight enough to prevent leaking of concrete. All rubbish and dirt shall be care- fully removed from forms. The forms of the beams and girders of a floor shall be constructed in conjunction with the forms for the floor slabs which they support, and no forms shall be removed until all parts of the respective floors are strong enough to support themselves and the loads that may come upon them during construction. Tests. Section 119. Tests to determine the crushing strength of concrete shall be made by a competent engineer under the direction of the Board of Public Works. Tests of any members of reinforced concrete structure shall be made by the owner, when required by the Board of Public Works, and said tests shall show that the members tested will safely carry twice their designated load, and without deflecting more than 1/700 of the span. Service Pipes and Cutting of Concrete or Reinforcement. Section 120. Conduits or pipes for conveying electricity, air or gas may be embedded in the concrete except in columns, provided they are of such size and so placed as not to weaken the structure or its fireproofing in any way. Pipes conveying liquids in any form are not to be embedded in any part of the structural concrete except as may be necessary to pass through floors and walls. No drilling into or cutting of the fireproofing or of the steel reinforcing spirals, hoops, stirrups or rods in any columns or beams for the purpose of attaching fixtures, hangers, or for any purpose which will in any way injure the concrete or reinforcing in same, is to be permitted.

On Webster, FiHmore, Steiner, Pierce, Scott, Divisa- dero, Broderick, Baker and Lyon streets and Central avenue, and streets in the Sunnyside, Lakeview, Railroad Homestead and City Land Association tracts, the numbering shall begin at their southerly ends and proceed toward the north. On all streets having a northerly and southerly course, or diverging less than forty-five (45) degrees from a northerly and southerly course, and not otherwise provided for, the numbering shall begin at their northerly ends and proceed toward the south. On all streets except as hereinafter provided having an easterly and westerly course, or diverging less than forty-five (45) degrees from an easterly and westerly course, the numbering shall begin at their easterly ends and proceed toward the west. Provided, that on streets lying south of Army street and running from Mission in an easterly or southerly direction, and also on Bernal avenue, Montezuma and Aztec streets, Esmeralda avenue, and on streets in Gift Maps 1 and 2, the numbering shall start at their westerly ends and proceed toward the east. On all intermediate or subdivision streets the numbering shall commence where the streets begin and proceed in the same direction as the numbering on the principal streets between which they lie.

An "apartment" in a tenement house is a room or a suite of rooms which is occupied, or is intended or designed to be occupied as a family domicile. A "yard" is an open, unoccupied space on the same lot with a tenement house, situated in the rear of said tenement house ; provided, that in case of a corner lot the yard may be placed in the rear of either frontage. A "court" is an open, unoccupied space, other than a yard, on the same lot with a tenement house. A court not extending to the street or yard is an inner court. A court extending to the street or yard and bounded on three sides by a tenement house on the same lot is an outer court. If it extends to the street it is a street court. If it extends to the yard it is a yard court. If it extends from the street to the yard it is a street-to-yard court. A court bounded on one side and both ends by a tenement house and on the remain- ing side by a lot line is a "lot-line" court. A "court" bounded on one side and one end by a tenement house and on the remaining side by lot line and the remaining end open to the street or yard is a lot line outer court. A "shaft" includes exterior and interior shafts, whether for air, light, elevator, dumbwaiter, or any other purpose. A vent shaft is one used solely to ventilate or light a water-closet compartment or bathroom. A "public hall" is a hall, corridor or passageway not within an apartment.

A "stair hall" includes the stairs, stair landings and those portions of the public halls through which it is necessary to pass in going between the entrance hall and roof. A "basement" is a story partly below the level of the curb, the ceiling of which is not less than seven feet above the curb level.

But this definition shall not be construed as prohibiting elsewhere than in the stair halls or entrance halls, the use of BUILDING ORDINANCES. 109 wooden flooring on top of the fireproof floors or the use of wooden sleepers, nor as prohibiting wooden handrails, and hardwood treads. A "wooden tenement" is a tenement of which the exterior walls or a portion thereof are of wood. Wooden buildings covered with metal, plaster, terra cotta, or veneered with masonry are wooden structures. For the purpose of this act the greatest horizontal linear dimension of any building shall be its length and the next greatest horizontal linear dimen- sion its width. The height of buildings shall be measured from the curb level at the center of the main front of the building to the top of the highest point of the roof beams in case of flat roofs, and for high-pitched roofs the average height of the gable shall be taken as the highest point of the building. For a building erected upon a street corner, the measurements shall be taken from the curb level opposite the center of either front. When the ground upon which the walls of a structure are built is above the street level, the average level for the ground adjoining the walls may be taken instead of the curb level for the height of such structure. Section 3. A building not erected for use as a tenement house, if here- after altered or converted to such use, shall thereupon become subject to all of the provisions of this act affecting tenement houses hereafter erected. Section 4. No tenement house shall at any time be altered so as to be in violation of any provision of this act. If any tenement house or any part thereof be erected, altered or occupied contrary to law, such tenement house shall be deemed an unlawful structure, and the department of health or the department charged with the enforcement of this act may cause such building to be vacated, and such building shall not again be occupied until it or its occupation, as the case may be, has been made to conform with the law. Section 5. No tenement house hereafter erected shall occupy more than ninety per cent of a corner lot or more than seventy-five per cent of any other lot, except as otherwise provided in this act; provided, that the space occupied by open iron fire escapes erected and constructed according to law shall not be deemed a part of the lot occupied, but that the space occupied by fireproof stairs, and by vent shafts thirty-two square feet or less in area, shall be considered as part of the lot occupied. For the purposes of this section the measurements may be taken at the level of the second tier of beams (the second floor level), except where rooms on the ground floor are to be used for sleeping apartments. Section 6. By corner lot is meant a lot situated at the junction of two streets, or of a street and public alley or other public thoroughfare or public park, not less than sixteen feet in width. Any portion of the width of such lot distant more than fifty feet from such junction shall not be regarded as part of a corner lot, but shall be subject to the provisions of this act respecting other than corner lots. Where, in any corner lot, the two frontages are of unequal length, either street frontage may be taken as the width of the lot. Street frontage alone and not alley frontage shall be considered in determining such lesser frontage. Section 7. The height of no tenement house hereafter erected shall by more than one-half exceed the width of the widest street upon which it stands. Section 8. Behind every tenement house hereafter erected, there shall be a yard extending across the entire width of the lot and at every point open from the ground to the sky, unobstructed, except that open iron fire escapes may project not over four feet from the rear line of the house. The depth of said yard, measured from the extreme rear wall of the house toward the rear line of the lot, shall be as provided in the following sections : Section 9. Except upon a corner lot, as provided in section ten, or upon a lot running through from street to street or street to public alley, or public 110 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. park as provided in section eleven, the depth of the yard behind every tenement house hereafter erected sixty feet in height shall not be less than twelve feet in every part. Said yard shall be increased in depth two feet for every additional twelve feet in height of the building or fraction thereof, and may be decreased in depth one foot for every twelve feet in height of the building less than sixty feet; but it shall never be less than ten feet in depth in every part. In the event that two tenement houses or a tenement house and another structure of more than one story in height are constructed or erected upon the same lot, then and in that event the full yard space as set forth in this section shall be provided for each of such buildings. In no case shall two buildings of more than one story in height abut upon the yard of a width as herein provided for a single tenement house. To determine the depth of yard as described in this section, the measure- ment shall be taken of the rear wall of such tenement house abutting on said yard and from the top of such wall to the level of the floor of the yard at such rear wall. Section 10, The depth of the yard behind every tenement house here- after erected upon a corner lot shall be not less than ten feet in every part and at every point open and unobstructed from the level of the second tier of beams (the second floor level) ; provided, that where any such lot is less than one hundred feet in depth the depth of the yard be not less than ten per centum of the greatest depth of such lot, but shall never be less than five feet in every part, nor less than the minimum width of an outer court on the lot line as prescribed by this act. If rooms on the ground floor are used as sleeping apartments the yard shall be taken from che ground up. When a corner lot is more than fifty feet in width, the yard /or that portion in excess of fifty feet shall conform to the provisions oi section nine of this act. Section 11. Whenever a tenement house is hereafter erected upon a lot which runs through from one street to another street or public alley or public park and said lot is not more than one hundred and fifty feet in depth one-half of the width of the street or alley upon which the yard abuts may be included in the depth of the yard required by sections nine and ten, but said one-half not to exceed in width the depth of the yard for such lot provided in sections nine and ten; provided, that on such lot no tenement house hereafter erected shall occupy more than ninety per centum of a corner lot, or more than seventy-five per centum of any other lot.

Sub-Grade: The area to be paved shall be graded so that the surface, when rolled, shall be the elevation required for the bottom of the concrete base of the pavement. 236' ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. All perishable and otherwise objectionable material shall be removed and replaced with acceptable material, well compacted into place. The entire surface of the sub-grade is to be compacted by rolling or tamping, by the use of water or by both watering and rolling, as the Board of Public Works may direct. The rolling is to be done by a steam roller weighing not less than five (5) tons. The work shall be continued until a compact and uniform surface is obtained at the proper depth below and parallel with the required surface of the finished pavement. No planking or other materials shall be placed upon the roadway until the compacting of the sub-grade is completed and properly examined for grade. Sub-Drains : When, in the estimation of the Board of Public Works, the sub-grade for the pavement requires drainage, sub-drains satisfactory to said Board of Public Works shall be constructed by the contractor. Foundation: On the sub-grade a standard concrete foundation shall be laid as hereinafter prescribed. The thickness of this foundation, if the concrete is mixed by hand, shall be not less than six (6) inches. Where brick pave- ment is laid on gradients exceeding six (6) per cent and a mechanical mixer satisfactory to the Board of Public Works is used in mixing the concrete, the thickness of the foundation may be not less than four (4) inches. A particularly rigid compliance with the specification for the quality and size of rock will be insisted upon where a four (4) inch base is used. Upon the concrete foundation thus prepared there shall be spread a layer of good clean sand one and one-half (Ij^) inches thick, carefully gauged to the required crown of the street, by a template the length of which is equal to the whole or one-half the width of the roadway, or to the distance from the curb to the nearest rail of streets having car tracks thereon. This sand cushion shall be moistened and rolled over its entire surface with a hand roller. The cushion shall be prepared at least twenty-five (25) feet in advance of the brick laying and kept moist until covered with the brick surface. Paving Brick: All paving brick must be thoroughly annealed, tough, durable, regular in size, shape and evenly burned. When broken, the bricks shall show a dense, stone-like body, free from lime, air pockets, cracks or marked laminations. The linear dimensions of paving brick shall conform to either one of the following three standard sizes, unless the Board of Public Works specifies that a particular one shall be used. Width Depth Length Inches Inches Inches Standard block size 3>4 4 8j^ Standard intermediate size 2^4 4 8^ Standard brick size 2^ 4 8j^ The brick for any one contract on any one block or crossing shall be all of the same kind and of the same standard size and the individual bricks shall not vary more than one-eighth (^) inch in width and depth and one-half (^) inch in length, from the size adopted as standard. Brick used on gradients exceeding six (6) per cent shall conform in general to the above specification but shall be rough and irregular on the exposed surface formed either by suitable moulds or kiln marks satisfactory to the Board of Public Works, or the brick may be of the kind commercially known as hillside brick. The depth of such rough surface brick may vary from three and one-half (3^) to four and one-eighth (4>^) inches._ Exposed edges may be rounded to a radius not exceeding three-sixteenths (3/16) of an inch. The bricks shall have four (4) raised lugs on one side, not less than three-sixteenths (3/16) of an inch, nor more than one-quarter (%) inch in height, nor more than three (3) square inches in area, or they may have two (2) vertical lugs on one side of the same height limitations but not more than four (4) square inches in area. The imprint or name of maker, if used, shall be jjy means of recessed and not of raised letters. STREET AND SEWER ORDINANCES. 237 The absorption of moisture of any brick or portion thereof shall not exceed three (3) per cent of the weight of any sample after thorough drying and immersion in water for three (3) consecutive days. No brick will be acceptable which contain lime or other soluble substances in such proportions as to cause spalling or pitting of the surface when soaked in water for three (3) consecutive days and then exposed to the air for a corresponding length of time. The abrasion test shall be made in the standard rattler recommended by the National Paving Brick Manufacturers' Association, February 7, 1911, and in accordance with the methods adopted by said association. The test shall be made by the manufacturer in the presence of a city inspector. The staves of the rattler shall be renewed every one hundred and fifty (150) tests and the spheres checked every ten (10) tests. The charge shall consist of ten (10) bricks, ten (10) cast-iron spheres approximately three and seventy-five hundredths (3.75) inches in diameter and weighing approximately seven and one-half (7j/2) pounds each, and as many cast-iron spheres of approximately one and eight hundred and seventy- five thousandths (1.875) inches in diameter and weighing not to exceed nine- ty-five one hundredths (95/100) of a pound each as will bring the collective weight of the large and small spheres most nearly to three hundred (300) pounds. The bricks shall be clean and dried for at least three (3) hours in a temperature 100 degrees F. before testing, llie rattler shall be rotated at a uniform rate of not less than twenty-nine and one-half (29j^) nor more than thirty and one-half (30^^) revolutions per minute, and eighteen hundred (1800) revolutions shall constitute the standard test. The loss in weight of any lot of bricks tested shall not exceed twenty (20) per cent. The loss in weight of any individual brick in the test shall not be more than twenty- five (25) per cent greater than the average loss of the whole charge. Any piece weighing less than one (1) pound shall be rejected as loss. All bricks will be inspected in a general way when the same are delivered upon the ground, and samples will be selected by the Board of Public Works for such tests as they may deem necessary. The failure of three (3) test samples selected from any shipment or pile of bricks to satisfactorily withstand any of the tests herein specified shall cause the rejection of the whole of such pile or shipment, and the same shall be immediately removed by the con- tractor, unless the pile can be easily culled by the contractor, after which a fourth test may be made. If, during the progress of construction, or after the completion of the pavement, any soft, fractured, spall or otherwise defective or objectionable brick is detected in the pavement, such brick or bricks shall be immediately* taken out and replaced by acceptable brick or bricks. Brick Laying: When delivered the bricks shall be piled in tiers on the wagon or truck and carefully removed therefrom by hand, and piled on boards or other suitable platform to protect them from dirt. No dirity bricks will be permitted in the pavement, nor will dumping of bricks from the wagon be allowed. The bricks shall be carried from the piles to the brick layers, in clamps or pallets, by hand or belt conveyors. No wheeling of bricks in bar- rows, over those already laid, will be permitted. They shall be sorted and culled at the piles before delivery to the brick layers. Care shall be taken to use bricks of approximately the same size and degree of hardness in the same locality. The bricks shall be carefully laid on edge upon the sand cushion, each course breaking joints and the courses laid to true lines. They shall be laid with the best surface exposed, except where noted, on grades over six (6) per cent, and with the lug sides all in the same direction. No bats or broken bricks will be allowed in any part of the work except at the end of the courses, where nothing less than a half brick shall be used. Around all covers or castings belonging to the sewer, water or lighting system or other public utilities, which may be found within the line of the improvement, the bricks shall be carefully cut and fitted. The surface of all such covers or castings 23Si ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. shall be brought to true grade and must be coincident with the surface of the surrounding pavement when finished. The bricks shall be laid in rows transversely to the roadway. Along street car tracks the space between the web of the rail and the bricks shall be filled with cement mortar, consisting of two (2) parts sand to one (1) part Portland cement, and the surface of the brick, when rolled, shall be one-quarter (J4) inch below top of rail. The mortar shall be in proper condition and the edge constructed to a straight line before the bricks are laid. At the street intersections the bricks shall be laid as directed by the Board of Public Works. After being set, each row shall be barred or driven together end on, so as to make the smallest possible end joint, and said rows shall be barred or driven together sidewise, every fifth xourse, to a straight line. After laymg, ana betore rolling, the bricks will be inspected and all soft, spalled or badly shaped bricks must be removed and replaced with perfect ones. Any bricks showing kiln marks, excepting on grades over six (6) per cent may be turned over, provided the reverse side be smooth. In re- placing bricks, care shall be taken to adjust the sand cushion to bring the surface even with the surrounding bricks. No part of the sand cushion shall extend into the joints between the bricks to exceed three-quarters (^) of an inch. The Board of Public Works may cause the pavement to be sprinkled with water by the contractor, and any soft bricks which show up under this test shall be removed and replaced with bricks of a suitable degree of hardness. Special care shall be taken at all times previous to grouting to keep the pavement free from sand, dirt or other debris which will fill up the joints. In case the surface of the concrete, for any reason, will not permit the laying of the sand cushion as specified, it shall be cut down if too high, pro- vided the thickness is sufficient, or brought up, if too low, by addition of mortar or concrete carefully spread and tamped. The bricks shall then be rolled with a steam roller weighing not less than two and one-half (2y^) tons nor more than five (5) tons, until brought to a perfectly smooth and even surface. The rolling shall commence near the curb at a very slow pace and continue back and forth until the center of the pavement is reached; then the roller shall pass to the opposite curb and repeat the operation. After the first longitudinal rolling, the pavement shall be rolled transversely at an angle of forty-five degrees (45) to the curb, and this transverse rolling repeated in the opposite direction. After the rolling is completed the pavement must conform to the template of the streets and not vary more than one-quarter (%) inch from a ten (10) foot straight edge laid parallel with the curbs. An expansion joint shall be provided next to the curb. Before laying the bricks two boards sized on both sides to a taper of about one-quarter (%) inch and about three-quarters (^) of an inch in thickness and not less than one (1) inch higher than the blocks shall be placed with their beveled sur- faces together along the curb. The board next the curb shall have its wide edge up and the other shall be reversed. The boards shall be fitted to any irregularities of the curb so that the outer surface against which the bricks are placed will be a straight line parallel to and about one (1) inch from the line of the curb. Any projections on the curb which interfere with the adjustment of the expansion joint shall be dressed smooth. The boards shall remain in place until the bricks have been rolled and grouted. Tliey shall then be very carefully removed in such a manner as not tto injure the pave- ment, and the space immediately filled with a composition of one (1) part melted asphalt having a penetration of from forty (40) to sixty (60) de- grees District of Columbia Standard and three (3) parts limestone dust or such other composition as the Board of Public Works may prescribe. Grout Filler: After all defective bricks have been removed and replaced by sound ones, and after the pavement has been properly rolled and brought to a true and even surface, conforming to the grade and crown required and STREET AND SEWER ORDINANCES. 239 swept clean, the bricks shall be sprinkled with water and the joints filled with Portland cement grout. The grout shall be composed of one (1) part Port- land cement, conforming to the standard specifications and one and one-half (Ij/^) parts clean, fine sand, passing a No. 20 sieve. The sand shall be as nearly dry as possible before admixture with the cement. The materials shall be placed in a water-tight box and mixed dry until the mass assumes an even and unbroken color; then sufficient water shall be added to the whole contents of the box to form a liquid mixture of the consistency of thin cream which will flow easily to the bottom of the joints. Instead of mixing the grout in boxes, any mechanical device which keeps the grout in constant motion and distributes it evenly on the pavement may be used, subject to the approval of the Board of Public Works. From the time the water is applied until the last drop is removed, and floated into the joints of the pavement, the mixture must be kept in constant motion. Before the grout is applied the brick shall be thoroughly wet by being gently sprayed. The grout shall be removed from the box with scoop shovels and applied to the brick in front of the sweepers, who shall rapidly sweep it lengthwise of the brick into the unfilled joints, until the joints are filled to within not more than one (1) inch of the top of the brick. After the grout has had a chance to settle into the joint and before the initial set develops, the balance of every joint shall be filled with a thicker grout, and, if necessary, refilled, until ithe joints remain full to the top. Where rough-surface, or hillside brick are used, the joints shall be swept out, as directed. After this application has had time to settle and before the initial set takes place, the pavement shall be finished to a smooth surface with a squeegee or wooden scraper, having a rubber edge, which shall be worked over the brick at an angle with the brick. When completed and the cement has received its initial set, the pavement shall be covered with a one-half (J^) inch layer of sand, which shall be frequently sprinkled in warm weather. No travel shall be permitted on the pavement for a period of at least seven (7) days after the grouting, or longer, as the Engineer may require on account of weather conditions. Ample barricades and watchmen shall be provided by the contractor for the proper protection to the grouting. — As amended by Ordinance No. 2462 (New Series), approved September 24, 1913. Section 34. Repealed by Ordinance No. 2462 (New Series), approved September 24, 1913. Concrete. Section 35. All concrete for the foundation or base course of street pavements or gutters, except were otherwise prescribed by this Ordinance, shall be composed of one (1) part Portland cement, two and one-half (2]/i) parts sand and seven (7) parts of broken rock. The cement must be of first quality, conforming to the standard require- ments as hereinafter set forth. The sand must be clean and sharp (beach sand or its equivalent), and may be a mixture of sand with fine gravel or washed quarry screenings of sound, hard rock in such proportions as may be approved by the Board of Public Works. When prepared for use it must contain no particles which will not pass a quarter-inch screen; at least sixty (60) per cent by weight must pass a twenty mesh, and not more than thirty (30) per cent shall pass a fifty (50) mesh screen. The broken rock must be of a good quality of chert, altered sandstone, or basalt, clean, hard, close-grained and free from loam, clay, shale or other inferior material. No stone which disintegrates readily will be acceptable. It must, when taken from quarries in which layers of soft shale or clay occur, be carefully separated from the inferior material, and must, when required by the Board of Public Works, be washed before use. The rock, unless otherwise directed by said Board, is to be broken into such size that it will 2401 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. all pass a two (2) inch screen and be rejected by a three-quarter (^) inch screen. The ingredients for the concrete are to be brought upon the work sepa- rately and so spread that the proportions of material can readily be controlled. Except when otherwise directed, the broken rock is to be deposited on a plat- form in a layer uniformly one foot thick, and the sand is to be spread over this, and then the cement, also in layers of uniform thickness. These ingredients must be well mixed dry by turning at least twice with shovels, and shall then receive the least quantity of water which will convert the cement and sand into a good mortar, while being further mixed equiva- lent to two additional turnings with shovels, before being deposited in place. The mixing of the ingredients may also be done by machinery, in which case it must be at least equivalent to that prescribed for mixing with shovels. Under all circumstances the mixing must be such as to distribute the mortar formed by the sand and cemenit throughout the mass of concrete so that, upon compacting, the voids between particles of broken rock shall be well filled. The concrete, after mixing, shall at once be evenly spread and well ranmied until thoroughly compacted, and an even surface in the required position is obtained, and until the uppermost pieces of broken rock present no points projecting more than one-half (J/2) inch above the general surface, and shall all be firmly held by the mortar when set. The finished concrete is to be wet on each of the two days following its completion, and must be protected from traffic either by covering with a layer of planking or by temporarily closing the street in whole or in part, as may be directed by the Board of Public Works. Cement. Section 36. The cement for use on all street and sewer work shall be of first quality Portland cement of a well established brand finely ground, dry and free from lumps, and shall be delivered upon the work in original packages. Each package is to be labeled, indicating the brand and name of the manufacturer. At least 95 per cent of the cement by weight must pass through a sieve of 2500 meshes to the square inch, and at least 85 per cent through a sieve of 10,000 meshes to the square inch. Briquettes prepared from neat cement, after being kept one day or until set in air and the remainder of the time in water, must develop tensile strength per square inch, as follows: After seven (7) days 400 pounds, and after thirty (30) days 550 pounds. Briquettes prepared with one part cement and three (3) parts sand, by weight, and exposed in the same way as in the neat tests, must develop a strength of one hundred and seventy-five (175) pounds after seven (7) days, and two hundred (2(X)) pounds after thirty (30) days. The sand used in this test will be clean, and must pass a 20-mesh and be rejected by a 30-mesh sieve. The cement must not crack or check when made into thin pats on a piece of glass, and must not develop undue heat when mixed with water. Every well-established brand of Portland cement which, when tested by the City Engineer conforms to the above requirements, will be rated as first quality cement, and will be considered an approved brand until such time as subsequent tests may prove it to be inferior to this prescribed standard. Asphaltic Cement. Section 37. Asphaltic cement for use in filling joints between paving blocks of basalt, brick or other material where an asphaltic cement is required, shall be prepared as follows : The asphaltic cement must be prepared from California products. It shall be a natural asphalt, be a mixture of a refined liquid asphalt with a solid asphalt, or be an oil asphalt.

If a natural asphalt or a mixture of a refined liquid asphalt with a solid asphalt, it must, when ready for use, contain at least sixty (60) per cent of bitumen soluble in chloroform, and if an oil asphalt, it must, when ready for use, contain at least ninety-nine (99) per cent of bitumen soluble in chloroform and contain no free carbon. When the asphaltic cement is prepared by mixing a solid oil asphalt with a liquid asphalt, the solid oil asphalt shall not be harder than of a penetration of sixty (60) degrees by the District of Columbia standard. The refined liquid asphalt used in softening a solid asphalt must be a stiff residuum of petroleum oil with an asphalt base. It must be free from water and from light oils volatile at less than two hundred and fifty degrees (250) Fahrenheit. When twenty (20) grammes are heated to a temperature of three hundred (300) degrees Fahrenheit for five (5) consecutive hours in an uncovered cylindrical dish three and one-half (3j^) centimeters high by five and one-half (5;^^) centimeters in diameter, it must not lose more than five (5) per cent in weight.

Preparation of the Wearing Surface Mixture: The asphaltic cement and the sand are to be heated separately in suitable appliances to a temperature not less than two hundred and fifty (250) degrees nor more than three hundred and fifty (350) degrees Fahrenheit, and the stone-dust is to be added to and mixed with the hot sand just before the asphaltic cement STREET AND SEWER ORDINANCES. 243 is added. The mixing of all ingredients is then to be comtinued within the temperature limits above indicated until every particle of sand and stone - dust is thoroughly coated with asphaltic cement. Laying the Wearing Surface: The wearing surface mixture shall be brought to the work in suitable carts or dump wagons and shall not be colder than two hundred and fifty (250) degrees Fahrenheit when it reaches the street. It is to be uniformly spread over the concrete foundation with hot shovels and rakes and shall at once be compressed with hand rollers weighing at least two hundred and fifty (250) pounds to the foot width of roller. These shall be immediately followed by a steam roller, having a weight of between one hundred and twenty-five (125) pounds and one hundred and fifty (150) pounds to the inch width of roller after which, while the pavement is still hot, it shall be rolled with a steam roller having a weight of not less than two hundred and fifty (250) pounds to the inch width of the roller. The steam rolling is to be done by first running the roller across the roadway at right angles to its direction, then crossing diagonally first from one side and then from the other, the direction of the two diagonal rollings being approximately at right angles to each other, and finally by rolling parallel with the direction of the street. The rolling with the steam roller shall be continued for not less than five (5) hours for every thousand (1,000) square yards of surface. Such portions of the wearing surface as it may be impossible to roll shall be thoroughly rammed with hot tampers and smoothed with hot smoothing irons, care being taken not to burn the surface. A small amount of hydraulic cement or infusorial f.arth is to be swept over the pavement after the rolling. The finished surface must be smooth and conform with the prescribed surface of the roadway. Whoi a straight edge ten (10) feet long is laid on the finished surface of the roadway and parallel with the line of the street, the surface shall in no place vary more than one-fourth (J4) of an inch from same. No asphaltic wearing surface shall be laid in rainy weather or when the concrete foundation is wet. — As amended by Ordinance No. 1415, approved February 15, 1905. Asphalt Sidewalk on a Concrete Base. Section 40. The asphalt sidewalk on a concrete base shall consist of a wearing surface of asphalt at least one and one-quarter (1%) inches thick on a foundation of concrete at least two and one-half (2j^) inches thick. The sub-grade for the sidewalk is to be prepared by grading to a depth at least three and three-quarters (3->4) inches below the required elevation of the sidewalk surface. The material on which the concrete is to be spread must be well com- pacted by tamping or rolling, water being used where it is sand. The concrete base is to be composed of one (1) part of Portland cement conforming to the standard specifications, four and one-half (4^^) parts of coarse gravel or broken rock, rejected by a quarter inch screen, all passing a screen with one and one-quarter (1^) inch meshes, and as much clean, sharp sand as may be required to make an amount of mortar which will just fill the voids in the gravel or broken rock when well rammed. This proportion when ascertained, is to be regulated by measuring. One barrel containing at least 375 pounds of cement is to be equivalent to four and one-quarter (4%) cubic feet in volume. The broken rock must be of a good quality of chert, altered sand-stone or basalt, clean, hard, close-grained and free from loam, clay, shale or other inferior material.

The ordering of any improvement provided for in this Ordinance shall be by Ordinance in the manner as in Chapter I, Article II, of the Charter of the City and County provided. The Board of Public Works may at any stage of the proceedings for any contemplated improvement prior to the passage of its resolution of recom- mendation hereinbefore provided for, by resolution abandon any or all of the proceedings theretofore had and taken in respect thereto, and it may renew and continue the same from any proceeding not so abandoned. The said Board, at any time after it has abandoned the proceedings already taken for any improvement, may institute and continue new pro- ceedings therefor, as in this Ordinance hereinbefore provided for. The Supervisors may, in their discretion, by resolution, order that not more than one-half of the whole of the cost and expenses of any of the work mentioned in this Ordinance be paid out of the Treasury of the City and County from such fund as they may designate. Whenever a part of such cost and expenses is so ordered to be paid, the Board of Public Works, in making up the assessment herein provided for, shall first deduct from the whole cost and expenses such part thereof as has been so ordered to be paid out of the said Treasury, and shall assess the remainder of said costs and expenses in the manner herein provided for. In case any proposed improvements be ab mdoned, the incidental expenses incurred previous to such abandonment shall be paid out of the Treasury of the City and County. The Supervisors by general Ordinance may provide that the incidental expenses, that may be incurred in connection with sidewalk improvements exclusively, be paid out of the municipal Treasury, and in such case such expenses shall not be included in any assessment to be made for such im- provements. Section 8. When the Supervisors shall have passed an Ordinance order ing any proposed improvement after proceedings had and taken, as herein- before provided, the Board of Public Works shall cause a notice to be published in the official newspaper for not less than five days and posted conspicuously in its office for a like period of time, inviting sealed proposals for such improvement. Said advertisement and notice shall invite sealed proposals to be delivered to the said Board while it is in session, on a day and during an hour to be specified therein, for the proposed improvement, and shall contain a descrip- tion thereof similar to that contained in the resolution of intention the time within which the work is to be commenced, which time shall not be less than ten nor more than twenty days from the time of the execution of the contract for such improvement, and when to be completed and the amount of bond to be given for the faithful performance of the contract ; and shall refer to the specifications or plans and specifications for such improvement for details and description of the same. Section 9. All proposals shall be made upon printed forms to be pre- pared by the Board of Public Works, and furnished gratuitously upon appli- cation. All proposals offered shall be accompanied by a check, certified by a responsible l3ank, payable to the order of the Clerk of the Supervisors, for an amount not less than ten per centum of the aggregate of the proposal, and no proposal shall be considered unless accompanied by such check. No person, corporation or firm shall be allowed to make, file, or be interested in more than one bid for the same improvement. If on the opening STREET AND SEWER ORDINANCES. 285 of said bids more than one bid appear in which the same person, corporation or firm is interested, all such bids shall be rejected. On the day and at the hour specified in said notice inviting sealed pro- posals the Board shall assemble and remain in session for at least one hour, and all bids shall be delivered to the Board while it is so in session, and within the hour named in the advertisement. No bid not so delivered to the Board shall be considered. Each bid as it shall be received shall be numbered and marked "Filed" by the President and authenticated by his signature. At the expiration of the hour stated in the advertisement within which the bids will be received, the Board shall, in open session, open, examine and publicly declare the same, and an abstract of each bid shall be recorded in the minutes of the Board by the Secretary. Before adjourning, the Board shall compare the bids with the record made by the Secretary, and shall thereupon, at said time, or at such other time, not exceeding twenty days thereafter, as the Board may adjourn to, award the contract to the lowest bidder, except as otherwise herein provided. Notice of such award shall forthwith be posted for five days by the Secretary of the Board in some conspicuous place in the ofifice of the Board, and be published for the same period of time. The Board may reject any and all bids, and must reject the bid of any party who has been delinquent or unfaithful in any former contract with the City and County, and all bids other than the lowest regular bid; and on accepting said lowest bid, shall thereupon return to the proper parties the checks corresponding to the bids so rejected. If all the bids are rejected, the Board shall return all the checks to the proper parties and again invite sealed proposals as in the first instance. The check accompanying the accepted bid shall be held by the Secretary of the Board until the contract for doing said work, as hereinafter provided, has been entered into, whereupon said certified check shall be returned to said bidder. If said bidder fails or refuses to enter into the contract to do said work, as hereinafter provided, then the certified check accompanying his bid, and the amount therein mentioned, shall be forfeited to the City and County and shall be collected and paid into the General Fund. Neither the Board of Public Works nor the Supervisors shall have power to relieve from or remit such forfeiture. Section 10. The owners of three-fourths of the frontage of lots and lands upon the street whereon the work is to be done and which is liable to be assessed for such work, or their agents, shall not be required to present sealed proposals, but may, upon making an oath that they are such owners, or the agents of such owners, within ten days after the first posting of notice of said award, elect to take said work and enter into a written contract to do the whole work at the price at which the same has been awarded. Should such owners not enter into a written contract therefor within said ten days, the Board shall enter into a contract with the original bidder to whom the contract was awarded at the price specified in his bid. If the original bidder shall fail or refuse for fifteen days after the first posting of notice of the award to enter into the contract, the Board shall again advertise for proposals as in the first instance. Section 11. If the owners or contractors who may have entered into any contract do not complete the same within the time limited in the contract, or within such further time as is hereinafter provided, the Board may relet the unfinished portion of said work in accordance with the provisions in this Ordinance prescribed for the letting of the whole. Section 12. If at any time it shall be found that the person to whom a contract has been awarded has, in presenting any bid or bids, colluded with any other party or parties, for the purpose of preventing any other bid being made, then the contract so awarded shall be null and void, and the Board shall advertise for a new contract for said work. 286 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. Section 13. At any time within ten days from the date of the first pub- lication of the notice of award of contract, any owner of or other person having any interest in any lot or land liable to assessment, who claims that any of the previous acts or proceedings relating to said improvement are irregular, defective, erroneous or faulty, may file with the Secretary of the Board of Public Works a written notice specifying in what respect said acts or said proceedings are irregular, defective, erroneous or faulty. Said notice shall state that it is made in pursuance of this section. All objections to any act or proceeding occurring prior to the date of publication of the aforesaid notice of award, in relation to said improvement, not made in writing and in the manner and at the time aforesaid, shall be waived, provided the resolution of intention to recommend the improvement has been actually published and posted and the notices of improvement have been posted as provided in this Ordinance. Section 14. Every contract entered into by the Board of Public Works shall be signed by said Board and by the other contracting party. All con- tracts shall be signed in duplicate, one of which, with the specifications or plans and specifications, if any, of the work to be done, and the materials to be furnished, shall be kept in the oftice of the Board, and the other, with said specifications, or plans and specifications, shall be delivered to the contractor or the contracting owners mentioned in Section 10 of this Ordi- nance. At the same time with the execution of the contract, the contractor, or said contracting owners, shall execute to the City and County and deliver to the Secretary of the Board a bond in the sum named in the notice for proposals, with two or more sufficient sureties to be approved by the Board, or one such surety if the same be a lawfully authorized surety company, or shall deposit with the Secretary a certified check upon some solvent bank for said amount, for the faithful performance of the contract. No surety on any bond other than lawfully authorized surety companies shall be taken unless he shall be a payer of taxes on real property, not exempt from execution or subject to homestead claim, the assessed value of which, over and above all incumbrances, is equal in amount to his liabilities on all bonds on which he may be surety to the City and County, and each surety shall justify and make an affidavit (for which a form shall be printed upon said bond) signed by him, that he is assessed upon the last assessment book of the City and County in his own name, for real property, in an amount greater than his liability on all bonds on which he is surety to the City and County, and that the taxes on such property so assessed are not delinquent. The contract shall specify the time within which the work shall be commenced, and when to be completed, as was specified in the notice inviting proposals therefor. Upon the recommendation of the Board, the Super- visors may extend said time, but in no event shall the time for the perform- ance of said contract be extended by the Stipervisors more than ninety days beyond the time originally fixed for its completion ; but, on the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Public Works, further extensions may be granted by vote of fourteen members of the Board of Supervisors. In case of failure on the part of the contractor or said contracting owners to complete his or their contract within the time fixed in the contract, or within such extension of said time as is herein provided, his or their contract shall be void, and no assessment shall be made for the work done under said contract. Section 15.

A mistake in the name of the owner shall not invali- date any assessment. All incidental expenses incurred in connection with the work must be paid to the Board of Public Works before the issuance of the warrant, assessment and diagram herein provided for. No assessment shall be levied upon any property, which together with all assessments for street improvement that may have been levied upon the same property during the year next preceding, will amount to a sum greater than fifty per centum of the value at which said property was assessed, exclusive of improvements thereon, upon the assessment book of the City and County current at the date of the passage of the resolution of intention ; except, however, as in this Ordinance hereinafter provided. Section 17. Subdivision 1. Except where the expense incurred for work and improvement authorized herein is to be assessed upon a district as here- inafter provided, such expense, other than that to be paid by a person, com- pany or corporation having tracks on the street where such work and improvement has been done, shall be assessed upon the lots and lands fronting thereon, except as hereinafter specifically provided; each lot or portion of a lot being separately assessed in proportion to the frontage at a rate per front foot sufficient to cover the total expense of the work.

Subdivision 8. Where any work mentioned in this Ordinance (man- holes, cesspools, culverts, crosswalks, piling and capping excepted) is done on either or both sides of the center line of any street for one block or less, and further work opposite to the work of the same class already done is ordered to be done to complete the unimproved portion of said street the assessment to cover the total expense of said work so ordered shall be made upon the lots or portions of lots only fronting the portions of the work so ordered. Subdivision 9. Any owner or owners of lots or lands fronting upon any street, the width and grade of which have been established by the Super- visors, may perform at his or their own expense (after obtaining permission from the Board of Public Works so to do, but before said Board has passed its resolution of intention to recommend grading inclusive of this) any grading upon said street, not beyond its full width, and not beyond its grade as then established, and thereupon may procure, at his or their own expense, a certificate from the City Engineer setting forth the number of cubic yards STREET AND SEWER ORDINANCES. 289 of cutting and filling made by him or them in said grading, and the propor- tions performed by each owner, and thereafter may file said certificate in the office of the Board. Said certificate shall be recorded in a properly indexed book kept for that purpose in the office of the Board. Whenever thereafter the Supervisors order the grading of said street, or any portion thereof, on v^hich any grading certified as aforesaid has been done, the bids and contract must express the price by the cubic yard for cutting and filling in grading, and such owner or owners, and his or their successors in interest, shall be entitled to credit on the assessment upon his or their lots and lands fronting on said street for grading thereof, to the amount of the cubic yards of cutting and filling set forth in his or their said certificate, at the prices named in the contract for said cutting and filling; or, if the grade meanwhile has been legally changed, only for so much of said certificate work as would be required for grading to the grade as changed. Such owner or owners shall not be entitled to any credit that may be in excess of the assessment for grading upon the lots and lands owned by him or them, and proportionately assessed for the whole of said grading. The Board shall include in the assessment for the whole of said grading upon the same grade the number of cubic yards of cutting and filling set forth in any and all certificates so recorded in their office, or for the whole of said grading to the changed grade so much of said certified work as would be required for grading thereto, and shall enter corresponding credits, deducting the same as payments upon the amounts assessed against the lots and lands owned respectively by said certified owners and their successors in interest ; but said Board shall not include any grading quantities or credit any sums in excess of the propor- tionate assessments for the whole of the grading which are made upon any lots and lands fronting upon said street and belonging to any such certified owners or their successors in interest. When any owner or owners of any lots and lands fronting on any street shall have heretofore done, or shall hereafter do any work, except grading, on such street, in front of any block, at his or their own expense, and the .Supervisors shall subsequently order any work to be done of the same class in front of the same block, the work so done at the expense of such owner or owners shall be excepted from the order ordering the work to be done, as provided in Subdivision 10 of this section ; but the work so done at the expense of such owner or owners shall be upon the official grade, and in condition satisfactory to the Board of Public Works at the time said order is passed. Subdivision 10. The Board of Public Works may include in the same resolution of intention any of the different kinds of work mentioned in this Ordinance, and it may except therefrom any of said work already done upon the street to the oft'icial grade. The lots and portions of lots fronting upon said excepted work already done shall not be included in the frontage Tissessment for the class of work from which the exception is made; but this shall not be construed so as to affect the special provisions as to grading contained in Subdivision 9 of this section. Subdivision 11. When the resolution of intention declares that the ex- pense of the work and improvement is to be assessed upon a district imme- diately after the contractor has fulfilled his contract to the satisfaction of the Board of Public Works, or to the satisfaction of the Supervisors on appeal, the Board of Public Works shall proceed to estimate upon the lands, lots, or portions of lots within said assessment district, as shown by the diagram provided for in Section 6 of this Ordinance, the benefits arising from such work and to be received by each such lot, portion of such lot, piece or subdivision of land, and shall thereupon assess upon and against said lands in said assessment district the total amount of the expense of such proposed work, together with all incidental expenses, and in so doing shall assess said total sum upon the several pieces, parcels, lots, or portions of lots, and subdivisions of land in said district benefited thereby, to-wit : Upon each 290 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. respectively in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each of said several lots, portions of lots, or subdivisions of land. In other respects the assessment shall be as provided in this Ordinance. Section 18. If at any time there shall be any street work or improve- ment done, and none of the methods herein provided are sufficient to authori^ce the Board of Public Works to make an assessment to pay for tha expenses thereof, then said Board shall, before it passes a resolution of its intention to recommend the ordering of said work or improvement, establish by resolution a method by means of which such assessment shall be made ; and on the completion of the work or improvement to the satisfaction of said Board, or to the satisfaction of the Supervisors on appeal, said Board shall make an assessment to pay the expense thereof according to the method established by said resolution. Section 19. To said assessment shall be attached a warrant, which shall be signed by the President of the Board of Public Works and counter- signed by the Secretary thereof. Said warrant shall be substantially in the following form : By virtue hereof the Board of Public Works of the City and County of San Francisco, by the authority vested in it, does authorize and empower (name of contractor) his (or their) agents, or assigns, to demand and receive the several assessments upon the assessment and diagram hereto attached, and this shall be his (or their) warrant for the same. (Date) . (Name of President of Board of Public Works.) Countersigned by (Name of Secretary of Board of Public Works). Said warrant, assessment and diagram shall be recorded in the office of the Board. When so recorded the several amounts assessed shall be a lien upon the lands, lots, or portions of lots assessed, respectively, for the period of two years from the date of said recording, unless sooner dis- charged ; and from and after the date of said recording of any warrant, assessment and diagram, all persons interested in said assessment shall be deemed to have notice of the contents of the record thereof. After said warrant, assessment and diagram are recorded, the same shall be delivered to the contractor, or his agent or assigns, on demand, but not until after the payment to the Board of the incidental expenses not previously paid by the contractor or his assigns. By virtue of said warrant said contractor, or his agents or assigns, shall be authorized to demand and receive the amount of the several assessments made to cover the sum due for the work specified in such contracts and assessments. Section 20. The contractor or his assigns, or some person on his or their behalf, shall call upon the persons assessed, or their agents, if they can con- veniently be found, and demand payment of the amount assessed to each. If any payment be made, the contractor, his assigns, or some person on his or their behalf, shall receipt the same upon the assessment in the presence of the person making such paymnt, and shall also give a receipt if demanded. When the persons so assessed, or their agents, cannot conveniently be found, or when the owner of the lot is stated as "unknown" upon the assessment, then said contractor or his assigns, or some person on his or their behalf, shall publicly, in an audible tone of voice, demand payment on the premises assessed. The warrant shall be returned to the Board of Public Works within thirty days after its date with a return indorsed thereon, signed by the con- tractor or his assigns, or some person on his or their behalf, verified, upon oath, stating the nature, character and date of the demand, and whether any of the assessments remain unpaid in whole or in part, and the amount thereof; and if such assessment is payable in installments as provided in Part II of this Ordinance, then the fact that a bond has been given for such assessment shall be stated. Thereupon the Secretary of the Board shall STREET AND SEWER ORDINANCES. 291 record the return so made in the margin of the record of the warrant and assessment. The Board can at any time receive the amount due upon any assessment and warrant issued by it and give a good and sufficient discharge therefor; but no such payment so made after suit has been commenced shall operate, without the consent of the plaintiff in the action, as a complete discharge of the lien until the costs in the action shall be refunded to the plaintiff. The Board may release any assessment upon the books of its office on the payment to it of the amount of the assessment, with interest, against any lot, or on the production to it of the receipt of the party or his assigns to whom the assessment and warrant were issued. If any contractor shall fail to return his warrant within the time and in the form provided in this section he shall thenceforth have no lien upon the property assessed; but if any warrant is lost, upon proof of such loss, a duplicate may be issued, upon which a return may be made with the same effect as if the original had been so returned. After the return of the assessment and warrant as aforesaid, all amounts remaining due thereon shall draw interest at the rate of seven per centum per annum until paid. Section 21, The owners, whether named in the assessment or not, the contractor, or his assigns, and all other persons directly interested in any work done under this Ordinance, or in the assessment, feeling aggrieved by any act or determination of the Board- of Public Works in relation thereto, or who claim that the work has not been performed according to the contract in a good and substantial manner, or having or making any objection to the correctness or legality of the assessment or t)ther act, determination or proceeding of the said Board, shall, within thirty days after the date of the warrant, appeal to the Supervisors by briefly stating their objections in writing and tiling the same with the Clerk of said Supervisors. Notice of the time and place of the hearing, as lixed by the Supervisors, briefly referring to the work contracted to be done, or other subjct of appeal, and to the acts, determinations or proceedings objected to or complained of, shall be published for two days. Upon such appeal the Supervisors may remedy and correct any error or informality in the proceedings and revise and correct any of the acts or determinations of said Board relative to said work; may confirm, amend, set aside, alter, modify or correct the assessment in such a manner as to them shall seem just and require the work to be completed according to their directions, and may instruct and direct said Board to correct the war- rant, assessment or diagram in any particular, or to make and issue a new war- rant, assessment and diagram to conform to their decisions in relation thereto at their option. All the decisions and determinations of the Supervisors, upon notice and hearing as aforesaid, shall be final and conclusive upon all persons entitled to appeal under the provisions of this section as to all errors, informalities and irregularities which the Supervisors might have avoided or have remedied during the progress of the proceedings, or which they can at that time remedy. No assessment, warrant, diagram or affidavit of demand and non-payment after the issue of the same, and no proceedings prior to the assessment, shall be held invalid by any court for any error, informality, or other defect in the same, where the resolution of intention of the Board of Public Works to recommend to the Supervisors the ordering of the improvement has been actually published and posted and the notices of improvement posted as in this Ordinance provided. Section 22. At any time after the period of thirty-five days from the date of the warrant, or if an appeal has been taken to the Supervisors, then at any time after five days from the decision of the Supervisors on such appeal, or after the return on the warrant, after the same may have been corrected, altered or modified as herein provided, but not less than withini thirty-five days from the date of the warrant, the contractor or his assignee 292 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. may sue in his own name the owner or the mortgagee of the land, lots or portions of lots assessed on the day of the date of the recording of the warrant, assessment and diagram, or any day thereafter during the con- tinuance of the lien of said assessment, and recover the amount of any assessment remaining unpaid, with interest thereon at the rate of seven per centum per annum until paid. In all cases of recovery under the provisions of this Ordinance the plaintiff shall recover the sum of fifteen dollars in addition to the taxable costs, as attorney's fees, but not any percentage upon said recovery. When suit has been brought, after a personal demand has been made and a refusal to pay such assessment so demanded, the plaintiff shall also be entitled to have and recover said sum of fifteen dollars as attorney's fees in addition to all taxable costs, notwithstanding that the suit may be settled or a tender be made before a recovery in said action, and he may have judgment therefor. Said warrant, assessment and diagram, with the affidavit of demand and non-payment, shall be held prima facie evidence of the regularity and cor- rectness of the assessment and of the prior proceedings and acts of the Board of Public Works and of the Supervisors upon which said warrant, assessment and diagram are based, and like evidence of the right of the plain- tiff to recover in the action. The Court in which said suit shall be commenced shall have power to adjudge and decree a lien against the lots of land assessed, and to order such premises to be sold on execution as in other cases of the sale of real estate by the process of said Courts. In all actions brought to enforce the lien of assessments made pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance the proceedings therein shall be governed and regulated by the provisions of this Ordinance, and when not in contiict therewith, by the Codes of this State. Section 23. Whenever in any suit the lien of an assessment or reassess- ment, issued for the cost of such improvement, shall be held invalid for any cause arising subsequent to die publication and posting of the resolution of intention and the posting of the notices of improvement along the line of work, or because the work or any part thereof is not sufficiently described in the resolution of intention, the contractor or his assigns, shall have the right within sixty days thereafter to apply for and receive a new assessment for the cost of the work done and sufficiently described in the resolution of intention or specifications on file, such cost to be assessed upon the property and in the same manner as provided in Sections 16 and 17 of this Ordinance, and the Board of Public Works shall within thirty days after such appli- cation make and deliver to said applicant a new assessment, warrant and diagram in accordance with the law governing the issuance of. originals of such documents which reassessment shall be a lien on the property so assessed for two years from the date of the recording of said reassessment and warrant and be enforced in the same manner as an original assessment would be enforced. If an appeal be taken from the judgment in which such an assessment is held invalid, the time herein provided for making application for a new assessment shall not begin until such case be in some manner finally disposed of. Section 24. The records kept by the Board of Public Works shall have the same force and effect as other public records, and duly certified copies therefrom may be used in evidence with the same effect as the originals. Said records shall, during all office hours, be open, free of charge, to the inspection of any persons wishing to examine them. Section 25. Notices in writing required to be given by the Board may be served by any person over the age of twenty-one years, and the fact of such service may be verified by the oath of the person making it. Such oath may be taken before the Secretary of said Board or before any member thereof. STREET AND SEWER ORDINANCES. 293 PART II. Section 28.
