- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, UNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1895 e e PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Brighter Prospects for Los Angeles Oil Trade. THE STANDARD'S EYE. it Was Upon the Field and May Still Be Looking That Way. DOES NOT WANT THE CONTROL. But Seeking to Become a Big Purchaser of Only the Crude Petroleum. LOS ANGELES, Cav., Oct. 5.—For some time the o1l business here has been at a practical standstill. The supply has been greatly in excess of the demand and the prices received have been very discouraging to the producers. An oil exchange was formed in Los Angeles to change all this, nd for the past two months a great deal of talk has been heard about a pipe-line to ta Monica or San Pedro, whence the 1 was to be run into steamships and transported to San Francisco and the north. This plan seemed slow in materializing and matters were looking very blue, when the announcement leaked out that the Standard Oil Company had its eve on the California oil fields and woula soon help, or kill, the producers. Now James C. Harvey, the local agent of the company, corroborates the state- ment by saying that the Standard people intend entering the field as purchasers of crode petroleum, which they will ship by rail to various points of consumption. According to Mr. Harvey his employers ere coming to bless and not to curse. They @o not intend to buy any territory or to lease any land. Theyare to be simply purchasers of crude oil, upon which they hope to make a margin of profit. The company has some 500 tankcars, a8 portion which will be sent out here in the next ty days, when operations will be be- gun. Mr. Harvey claims that the general effect will be to greatly widen the market for Los Angeles oil, and that the producers will receive a better price. It has been intimated that the Standard 0Oil Company was attempting to gain con- trol of the Oil Exchange and this was not considered an unreasonable belief. Under present conditions this could not hurt the actual producer and would probably be a great help to him in disposing of all the oil he might raise at a fair price. In the natural course of events, however, cheap oil would have attracted manufacturers to this coust and it was hoped by many that the advantage of climate in the saving in the heating of mills, etc., added to the lessening of the cost of fuel would open up 8 new era of progress. Itisto be hoped, therefore, that this new move of the Standard Oil Company will not tend to delay progress. MISSIU@WUHUEH‘ Mrs. Sandrock’s Throat Cut by a Customer in Her Store.

PACIFIC COAST NEWS, People of Sacramento Take Pride in Street lmprovements. IMPETUS OF PROGRESS. Mutual Interest Did What the City Government Failed to Do. FIVE YEARS OF STEADY WORK. More Than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars Carefully Expended. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Oct. 5.—Five years ago the streets of old Sacramento during the rainy season were a mass of mud and slush, and the ordinary pedestrian found it almost an impossibility to cross any of the numerous thoroughfares without the sac- rifice of one or both of his overshoes, while teams from the outlying farming districts were obliged to halt at the terminus of the streetcar linesand aweit the return of their owner’s who used that mode of conveyance, in preference to the long tug through the sticky adobe strata that clung to wheeland hoof tighter than a poor relation. To-day, under the impetus of advance- ment and improvement, the streets of Sac- ramento have been transformed into broad bitumen and macadam thoroughfares that will successfully vie with any city on the coast. The era of thisimprovement can be plainly traced back to the spring of 1890, when the initial movement was in- augurated by the organization of the Sac- ramento Improvement Society, who had among its progenitors such progressive spirits as Charles A. Luhrs, Ed R. Hamil- ton, J. W. Wilson, the present Republican nominee for Mayor, and a score of others, It had become so painfully apparent that the wretched condition of the thor- oughfares were proving extremely detrimental to commercial interests, so far as the trade of the surrounding agricul- tural districls was concerned, that it was deemed advisable by the progressive ele- ment of Sacramento that stringent steps be inaugurated to remedy the existing evil, and the result was the birth of the Sacramento Improvement Company. After its organization the question arose as to the best method to be pursued to at- tain the desired result, and it was decided to bond the city in the sum of $100,000 and bring the matter before the Board of City Trustees. received the commendation of the entire community by a vote of 9 to 1. Over $20,000 was immediately raised by voluntary contribution and the initial step was taken. At the time this contribution was made every one subscribing fully re- alized the good to be accomplished for the city, and acted without the slightest idea of reimbursement. Still the Sacramento Improvement So- ciety would have been fully able to pay back every dollar subscribed from the profits from its contracts on streetwork had not the Board of Trustees decided on using wash gravel from the hydraulic mine deposits near Folsom. The hauling of this gravel necessitated the payment of freight rates to the Southern Pacific, when gravel could have been obtained from points adjacent to the city. To a certain extent the graveling of the main thoroughfares was found to be a vast improvement, and added materially to the city’s growth and prosperity; but this became only an added incentive to future improvements, and in the spring of 1893 J. W. Wilson and G. Abbot, who, at that period, was manager of the California State Bank, became the prime movers in the scheme of bituminizing the main busi- nsss streets. Mr. Abbott attempted through the me- dium of a petiiion which he circulated among the property-owners to obtain their consent to the bitumizing of J sireet from Third to Eleventh. He met with but little encouragement, and, disheartened by the spirit of silurianiasm that seemed to be prevalent, abandoned the scheme. J. W. Wilson proved to be of sterner metal, and he immediately drew up a pe- tition to which within two days he ob- tained the necessary signatures of a major- ity of the property-owners of K street, between Second and Tenth, asking that the thoroughfare be bituminized. This petition, as shown by the records of the Board of City Trustees, was presented to that body on March 27,1893, and re- quested that the street be improved by the rock or cobble paving, and the grading and laying of a streetway consisting of six inches of concrete with a top coating of bituminous rock, with graded rock gutters, iron culverts and, where not already done, stone curbing and alternating catch- basins. On May 2, 1893, it was ordered by the Board of Trustees that advertisements for | bids to perform the contemplated work be inserted in the newspapers and that no- tice be given to the street railway com- pany that they would be required to im- prove that portion of the street lying be- tween their tracks in accordance with the specifications of the proposed street im- provement plan. This was done and when the bids were received and opened it was found that the California Petroleum and Asphalt Com- pany had entered the lowest bid and that company was awarded the contract. Later it was found that there were lezal compli- cations involved and by personal request the company was released from the terms of its contract and the bids readvertised. D. Lambert was declared {0 be the low- est bidder in the second contest and was awarded the contract, but, owing to tech- nicalities, the bid was again declared in- valid, and on September 23 of the same year the work was placed in the hands of the City Improvement Company, who im- mediately began operations, which resulted in the completion of the work on Novem- ber 27. In the meantime the J-street peti- tion had been again circulated, and the nccessary amount of signatures obtained to secure the bituminizing of that thor- oughfare. Shortly after the inauguration of the movement to obtain bitumen streets the attention of the citizen was directed by the local press to the wretched condition of the old wooden sidewalks of the city and the decayed condition of the awnings and porches that lined the streets. This re- sulted in the framing of City ordinances prohibiting their further erection and pre- viding that all sidewalks within the city limits must be replaced with concrete walks when their period of usefulness had expired. Bince the framing of these provisions the This was done and the project | work of replacing wornout walks has been steadily prosecuted, and in 1894 5.71 miles of concrete sidewalk was laid within the city limits; 2.61 miles of granite curbing was also placed in position during the same year. Since January 1 to October 1 of the pres- ent year 5.64 miles of cement walk have been laid, with 2.83 miles of curbing. That the street improvement movement has made steady progress is evinced by the fact that within that period seventy- seven blocks of streets and alleys have been bituminized, paved with blocks, graveled or macadamized, at a total cost of $155,900. Such has been the result of the movement inaugurated a few years ago, by progressive citizens, and the end is not yet. IN FOUX 'HE RIVER. Mystery Surrounds the Drowning of Mrs. Flaville. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Oct. 5.—The body of Mrs. Flaville was discovered in theriver by a fisherman at 4 o'clock yesterday. It was lodged between two limbs of a snag some thirty fect from the shore off the foot of X street. ‘When removed to the Morgue it was dis- covered that the woman’s watch and chain were missing and that her purse had disappeared, but there was not the slight- est signs of violence on the body. The last time Mrs. Flayille was seen alive was at 12 o’clock last night, when she was seen in the company of Deb White, an employe of one of the river steamers, going in the direction of the river. ‘The man has also disappeared, and it is believed that in crossing from one barge to the other the woman fell into the river and White sprang to her assistance and was also drowned.

Work on the Plant to Bs Com- menced at Once and Pushed Vigorously., , SACRAMENTO, CaL.,Oct. 5.—The Sacra- mento Industrial Improvement Company has scored a victory and has perfected all arrangements whereby the Ostrander Gun Factory will remove its plant from Boston to this city. Since it became known that this com- pany had determined to remove itsfactory to the FPacific Coast, its representative, Charles J. Swift, has been the recipient of numerous offers of locations in various | cities. Sacramento’s offer, however, ex- celled in all points, and the low rate at which electric mative power could be se. cured materially assisted the firm in arriv- ing at its decision to close a deal with the Improvement Association. The directors of the association this morning accompa- nied Mr. Swift and Mr. O’Brien, the latter a practical builder in the emplog of the Ostrander Company, to the available sites offered, for the purpose of making a selec- | tion, and building operations for the plant will shortly be in progress. It isexpected that the plant will be running by the first of next year, and it will materially add to the growth of New Sacramento, o T APPOINTED. ILLEGALLYX.
