THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 26, 1896; AT THE GRAND STAND ON VAN NESS AVENUE. “The greatness of the Gity depends upon the character of its transportation facilities, and we Wwill seek to improve the highways of our Gity, that there may be rapid transit on the streets along which we ride."—Samuel M. Shortridge. ‘\\ ] dows, porch and lawn were filled with streetcar and locomotive headlights, so arranged as to shed their light into the street. As the wheelmen moved down the street they were freeted with cheer after cheer by those in the windows of every house and by those who lined the street. From the starting point to the turn at Eighth street the streets were thronged, even to the inconvenience of the cyclers, for the people crowded out to the car tracks, leaving but a narrow passage-way. In addition to this was the inconvenience of the Folsom-street electric cars, which ran both ways and caused break after break in the line of march. In several instances the cars were obliged to join in the procession, so to speak, be- cause the floats on trucks could not be re- moved from the tracks. By the time the head of the line reached Nintk streat the end was not in sight, and from all accounts it was Jocated back on Eighteenth or Nineteenth street. From Ninth to Eighth street the crowd began to manifest itself in earnest. Eighth street from Folsom to Market was simply im- passable, except to the cyclers, who were given a smail strip in the middle of the street. Aseach float and gayly decorated wheel came into view it was greeted with enthusiasm, and in not a few instances the cyclers were good naturedly bombarded with Roman candles. It was not until the cyclers reached Market street that they realized what wheeling through th~ masses really is. They bad met with large and enthusias- tic gatherings on Folsom street, big crowds on Ninth and Eighth streets, but on Mar- ket street it was literally a surging mass of humanity. After leaving Eighth and Market streets, on its way downtown, the parade got into difficulties that eventually resulted in its going to pieces before Kearny street was reached. As soon as the platoon of police had passed, the densely packed masses of humanity that lined both sides of the street closed in on the cyclists, and be- fore Fourth street was reached only a nar- row lane not over three feet wide was leff to allow the wheelmen to pass. Ridingin this narrow space, particularly over the cobbles, was out of the question, and the majority dismounted and led their wheels. The parade was noticeably weaker after leaving Van Ness avenue, for many clubs became weary of the continual effort of pushing through the throngs and gave up the struggle. Some cut off into side streets and deserted the parade completely, while others, seeing no prospect of getting through to Kearny street with whole ‘wheels or decorations, cut out of the line and joined the countermarch as soon as an opportunity presented itself. Those who came late down Market street seemed to be comypletely at sea and many clubs were swallowed up in the crowds. A few that escaped in any kindof forma- tion wandered or crowded their way down Kearny street without knowing where they were going. Some rode as far as Califor- nia street, while others turned back at Post, and after trying vainily to re-enter Market street went their various ways without even a semblance of order. The greatest crowd of all was at Kearny and Market streets and it may safely be said that the very enthusiasm of the peo- ple prevented the parade from being a grand spectacle at that point. The streetcars that had been blocked for some time added to the general confusion about the time the last of the wheelmen reached Kearny street, their dozens of jangling gongs turning the nightinto pan- demonium. Before the tail end of the parade reached Kearny streetit had ceased to be a parade and became a rout where every man or woman looked out for him- self or herself. ‘Where small bands of wheelmen were trying to escape a few extinzuished lan- terns on goles or wires showed above the heads of the crowding, perspiring jam of humanity, while here and there a wheel- woman stood in the doorway with her wheel, having giving up-the struggle against the crowds and. retired to a place of safety to await a chance to get home. Toward the latter end of the parade the rowdies that were largely in evidence along the line of march began to make it very uncomfortable for the paraders. One man with a.beautiful superstructure of lanterns and flags tried to oross Market to get down Third street when some one made a grab at a lantern dangling from a wire and the wheelman turned to ex- postulate, but in an instant his float was seized on all sides and torn to pieces be- fore he could make the slightest effort to get away. A Japanese who rode, or rather led, a gayly decorated wheel was in trouble be- fore he had gone a hundred yards beyond Kearny street. He foolishly attempted to fight his assailants, and was knocked down and trampled on until a squad of police charzed the mob and rescued him. His face was cut, his clothing torn and his wheel wrecked. Two young girls were in the midst of the surging crowd as it struggled about the policemen, and one nearly had her clothing torn from her body before she could escape to the out~ skirts. Many of the wheelmen and their lady friends did not venture to leave the vicinity of Kearny and Market streets un- til the crowds had dispersed, which was an hour after the parada had melted away. Car 21 of the Valencia-street line fol- lowed the rear of the procession too closely down Market street and had a rather tur- bulent time of it. Near the corner of Sey- wenth street the car encroached rather close upon the heels of the last of the wheelmen. This enraged the crowd and they commenced shouting at the motor- man. ’ Some one suggested overturning the car, and the mob took kindly to the sugges- tion. Grasping the car by the upright bars at the side they commenced rocking it until it threatened to go over. The pas- sengers screamed and things were looking very critical, when an opening occurred and the car was able to escape. The same car had a similar experience at Fifth and Market streets. The floats, properly speaking, were nota prominent feature of the bicyle parade. They were few and far between, yet they were attractive and popular. A pirate-ship, or a freebooter, headed the procession. It was a tandem, deco- rated with flags and ablaze with Japanese lanterns. The miniature ship displayed a skull and crossbones at its masthead and scores of Japanese lanterns at its yards, It was carried by Club 13, of which R. C. Lennie is president. The colors of the miniature ship were of a flaming red, and, taken all in all, it presented a very striking appear- ance. Atthe bow was seen the frowning mouth of a cannon, proclaiming the war- like character of the sbip. The float entitled “The New Charter,” was drawn by a spanking span of bay horses. It was illustrated with a picture of work- ingmen and workingwomen in search of employment, and bore the following in- scription: °*A vote for the new charter means steady wagzes for the workingmen.” Upon the reverse side of the transpar- ency were the interrogatories: “Do you want good streetz?” ‘Do you want im. provements?” “l1f so, vote for the new charter.” % ~ The Bay City Wheelmen had a big float in line bearing about a dozen men in regu- iation street-laborers’ garb. A large ban- ner suspended above the float bore the legend, “‘The Bay Citys Are Willing to ‘Work to Have Market Street Improved.” A transparency also bore the inscription, “Hunting for Good Roads.” N One of the most striking floats was that Every Gonceivable Shape and Design Was Made Use Of by the Decorators of Wheels. Gigantic Umbrellas and a Multitude of Greations Glimmering in the Light of \ e ! 2 framework strung with Japanese lanterns, thirty-seven in all, An attractive feature was the beautiful canopy supported by a tandem and borne at the head of the Verein Eintracht cyelers, The decoration was the work of E. Poterson, and was one of the most beautifuily decorated wheels in line. H. B. Williams and James Gans of the California Cycling Club rode a tander bearing a boat-shaped frame covered with fringe tissue paper. Cass Mershon of the Golden Gate Cycling Club had his wheel entwined with straw, and he was made up the ‘‘far down” hayseed is supposed to disport himeelf. He bore aloft the motto, “'I B'long to the Golden Gates.” On the west side of Van Ness avenue, a few hundred feet north of where that thoroughfare debouches into Market street, was the stand erected forthe speak- ers of the evening, and before whom the parade passed in review just previous to dispersing. It was gayly decorated with red, white and blue bunting and made brilliant by an arc electric light and strings of Japanese lanterns. Directly opposite the side of a dwelling the Bouthside Improvement clubs had provided for having blazoned forth to the thousands about in letters of fiery hue six feet high, produced by vari-colored Japan- ese lanterns, the demand to “Finish Fol- som street.”” People bezan to line the curbs before 8 o’clock, though the head of the procession of wheelers did not turn into Van Ness avenue from Golden Gate untl 9:35 o'clock, As the procession passed the stand in review bombs, roman candles and rockets were discharged, bonfires were ablaze on the corners and red fire and colored lights made a brilliant glare. Dr. T. A, Rottanzi acted as master of ceremonies and J. 8. Conwell as president of the evening. Among those on the platform in addition to the speakers were: Dr. C. D, Salfield. president of the Pan- handle Improvement Club; G. W, Owen; F, W. Dobrman, president of the Mer- chants’ Association; Judge F. W. Van Reynegom, Colonel Chadbourne and quite a number of ladies. ‘While the paraders were still marching past the tribune Dr. Rottanzi introduced President Conwell in a few brief sentences. He said: Ladies and gentlemen and cyclists: We have assembled here after one of the most remark- able demonstrations ever seen in the interest ot good streets. Inow take pleasure in intro- ducing to you President Conwell. The latter's remarks follow: of the Union Iron Works. It wasdrawn by four beautiful dark bays, and consisted of a model of the battle-ship Oregon, sur- mounfed by a canopy of Japanese lanterns. At the rear of the float an aged employe of the iron works bore aloft a large Amer- jcan flag. At the sides of the wagon were hung banners bearing the motto, *‘What's the Matter With the Oregon?” About thirty employes of the works escorted on bicycles this miniature of their master- piece. A significant showing was that of the South Side Improvement clubs. Their sentiments were typified by two pinto mules drawing a wagon upon whose sides were emblazoned the words, ‘We won’t stop kicking until Folsom street is finished.” The floatof the San Francisco Road Club was appropriate and emphatic. It consisted of a miniature gallows, from which an effigy was suspended. Above the crosspiece was a grewsome warning, embeilished by a frightiul skull and cross- bones, stating that such was the ‘‘Fate of the first politician who -opposed good roads.” A yacht manned by 'four men on con- cealed bicycles was a feature contributed by the employes of the Rambler Cyclorama. The effect was produced by coupling two tandems, which ‘were enfirely hidden by the cunvas hull of the craft. The most artistic float in line was that of the Imperial Cygcling Club. It repre- sented a large white crown resting on a white cushion. The crown was begemmed with numerous little incandescent lights which flashed alternately, giving the im- pression of sparkling stones. A banner suspended from the rear of the vehicle bore the: club yell: ‘“Holy smoke! Who are we? You know, we are L. C. 0.” The California Social Club Cyclers had a beautiful float in line. It was 'mounted upon two bicycles and consisted of ‘a deli- cate littie chariot apparently formed of blue and gold ribbon, the ciub colors, from which little Hazel McGinn drove through the air two beautifully decorated little bicycles. G. Hale and A. Lewis of the Golden Gate Cycling Club made a striking appear- ance, with an elaborately decorated out- Lsdies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Southside improvement clubs and on behalf of the San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade, gratulate you upon the magnificent parade which you have so successfully accomplished: The objects of our demonstration as wheel- men are threefold. Primarily, t» educate us all in a realizing sense of our own strength and possible influence. Secondly, to rejoice with our Southside friends over the improve- ment of Folsom street; and lastly, to protest most vigorously against the coadition of San Francisco pavements in general and Market street in particular. Similar demonstrations in sister cities have resuited in such an awskening of the public mind to public action that to-day the bicyele 18 considered to be the wreatest boon of mod- ern invention, if for nothing more than for its sccomplishments in the betterment of city streets and country roads. I trust that the objects of this demonstration are accomplished and from to-night we may fit. They had two bicycles coupled to- gether, to which was attached an intricate date a new era for San Francisco and her pave- ments. The concerted action of wheelmen and wheelwomen will accomplish not only the re- paving of Market street and the completion of Folsom street, but the lighting of the park and many other improvements that will add ma. terislly to the wealth, health and comiort of our eity. But, in order to be effective, our efforts must be harmoniously airected along the line of reasonable demsnds. Grant this and we may count upon the hearty sympathy and support of the two irresistible forces—the people and the press. Hearty co-operation will secure the enforce- ment of our demands and will demonsirate to every well-wisher of our City that ‘‘where there is a wheel, there is a way.” Mayor Sutro, one of the invited speakers, sent tae following note in explanation of his absence, through his secretary, which wasread by President Conwell: Gentlemen—Your invitation to participate in the monster good roads demonstration was received by Mr.Sutro. His best wishesgo with the demonstration and the organizers. He rarely, however, leaves his home at the Heights in the evening and for that reason he begs you will excuse his inability to be present. Wishing you sll good in your work, very truly yours, A, C. UNswoRTH, Secretary. The next speaker was Samuel M, Short- ridge, who spoke as follows: Mr, Chairman, young ladies and gentle- men: Whether you be riders of the wheél or not Iwish to be by my words understood to say that I am in favor of good government, of good Supervisors and of good streéta. To those young ladies and gentlemen who ride the wheel—whose wheels do not go round up here (pointing to his head)—I wish to that the great problem of the sges—the great Pproblem that has engaged the attention of the philosophers from the days of Socrates to Mayor Sutro—[laughter]—the great problem of the ages you have solved—and that problem is how to get on in the world. Iunderstand that this meeting to-night is to give our voice: d our approval to every- thing that goes in the government toward the improvement of the streets of San Francisco and the roads of ifornia. It is not neces- sary for me to impress upcn you the necessity of baving gooa streets in order to make a great record. But I think that we, as citizens of San Frangisco, have cause to be proud of the fact that we have improved our streets during the last two or three years and that the improvement on Folsom street is but what will be doue on this great and beautiful avenue apd other sireets throughout San Francisco, ‘We have & beautiful City; we have a grand and magnificent City; we have finesireets and we have great avenues; we have everything that is essential to & great city. But it requires money to improve the roadways. I wish, therefore, merely to say thatso faras I am con- cerned, I think I express the sentiments of the citizens of this City when Isay Iam in fayor of generous appropriations to pay for tne im- provement of the streets and highways, not for the bicyclists alone, but for the horse. You will pardon me if I pay a silent tribute to that noble and patient animal, for he is still with us. Iwill,sofarasI can, assist in any local legisiation that will result in the im- provement of our streets and our roads throughout the State. The greatness of the City depends upon the character of its transporsation facilities, and we will seek to improve the highways of our City, that there may be rapid transit on the streets along which we ride. Congressman Maguire was loudly cheered as he came to the front of the platform. His remarks follow: Ladies and gentlemen: I am pleased to be with you in this hour of comparative victory, end will be pleased, indeed, to further not only the finishing of Folsom street from Twenty-sixth to Third, but the paving of the streets and avenues everywhere which lead to Golden Gate Park. The demands of the people for public improvements should be complied with, The people who use the bicyele in their daily travels about the City demand that the City officials shall appropriate enough funds to make their progress about the City comforta- ble and safe. Ihave had the pleasure of being one of them for the past five years, and join most cordially HOW MR. HAIGHCEDE LOOKED ON EIS WHEEL. in this demand. I notice that the enterprising citizens have made their demand in letters of fire on the building opposite. “Finish Folsom street,’” they say, and I second their demand. 1 want to see another thing done here. We have one of the grandest driving parks in the world. Our cyclists are using it by night by the thousands. Itis entirely unilluminated. Eastern cities have similar parks and all of them are {lluminatéd. San Francisco should notbe behind any of her Eastern rivals. Golden Gate Park must be lighted at night. Ban Francisco should be placed in the front rank with other cities, and her streets and roads should be so improved that good high- ‘ways will lead from everywhere to Golden Gate Park. Your demands, made manifest to-night, are sure to meet with consideration at the hands of those elected to office if you but see that your votes-and influence are properly directed. Julius Kahn was introduced as an oid- There Were Mimic Boats and Chinese Lanterns. time and entbusiastic wheelman. He heartily indorsed the objects of the dem- onstration and was followed by J. Richard Freud. The latter’s address follows: Let ussee what our streets cost—$200,000 ex- pended during the past fiscal year in Tepair- ing the accepted streets of San Francisco; $34,000, spent upon the streets and sew- ers of San Francicco during the past forty yearsl What have we to show for this vast expenditure? Rotten sewers, patched pave- ments and broken roads. Sewers, ‘justly con- demned as the worst of any civilized commun- 1ty on earth, except the City of Mexico. Pave- ments, the most defective 0f any progressive city in the United States. Roads, that are the laughing stock of the villages of the country. Such 1s the street picture of the third rich- est city In America—a metropolis with an as- sessable wealth of $360,000,000. A city, whose marvelous catural resources 'should make it the most beautiful and attractive cen- ter on the face of the globe. What is the cause of this anomalous condition? It 1s clearly owing to the obsolete and defective system of municipal goversment, known as the comsolidation aet. A code of laws forty years out of date, amended and !(\;Splemenlcd by successive Legislatures over 4 times. It was made for a village of 40,000 inhabitants, and no more fills the wants of this metropolis of 850,000 people than the elothes of a child will fit a man, Under the consolidation act all the streets, sewers and roads are in charge of the Supervis- ors and the Superintendent of Streets. This ancient pian has proven a downright failure, It results in extravagance, incompetency and corruption, and has resulted in the present disgraceful and dangerous; condition of our m'an.y.. ‘here 1s but one sure remedy for this munici- pal malady, Change thenfi'nem. Wipe out the old consolidation actand bring in tne new charter. When anything gats beyond redemp- tion, patchwork is 1dle. A mere chauge of offi- cials will never answer. We must root out the entire system. How will the charter prove the remedy? It provide a competent Board of Public Works, with & City Evgineer who must be ten years a practical engineer, and & Super- intendent of Public Works who must be & mas- ter builder. Such a Board of Public Works will have full charge of all the streets, sewers, Ppavements and roads of the City. The time for tinkering with the streets has passed. We will never have good streets until we get good sewers. An improved system of sewers, with conduits for all the wires that now disfigure our thoroughfares, must go hand in hand with smooth, sanitary pavements. These valuable improvements will cosy $5,- 000,000 and can only be had by bonding_the City. Future generations will enjoy these blessings, as well as the taxpayer of to-dey, and, therefore, posterity should aiso bear its fair share of the burden. San Francisco is the only City in the United States of over 100,000 population that has no bonded indebtedness. Under our present de- fective sysiem of municipdl government the taxpayers never have and mever will fayor bonding this City. The constitution of Cali- fornia reguires a two-thirds yote of the people 10 issue bonds. The present stupidity, wasie ana corruption in handling the public funds will never warrant the taxpayers to add more fuel to the flames. The charier, however. will make the bonding of the City for permanent ublic improvements safe, certain and valid. nder such a modern and approved system of municipal government, every publiC-spirited citizens favor bonding the City. Adopt the charter and let the City issue u,oo&ooo bonds for forty years. Whai would itcost? Ourown City banks would be glad to et the bonds at 4 per cent & year—$200,- 000 for interest and $125. for a sinking fund, makipg $325,000 a yeer, less than one- tenth of 1 per cent on the assessed valuation of property in San Francisco; not even that much, because a large saving would result by reducing the tax levy for many repairs and renewals. Again, every dollar expended by a city in improvements is matched by an equal expenditure by private parties, thus large.y increasing the revenue of the city. This, then, is the only safe course open o the citizens of San Francisco. Adopt charter, issue the bonds, improve tne City. Progress and prosperity will thus be assured, From now until November 3 let the motio of every cyclist be, “Carry the charter and win a victory.” James F. Barry, Colonel Eddy, H. F. Wynneand several others followed, and just before the close ofi the meeting the foilowing resolutions were read : A 'WHEREAS, Street improvement is one of the first evidences of progress in a great city. Good streets are as necessary to the weifare of the citizens as good food and good clothes. The good-streets demamstration of to-night shows the efforts of the peopie to better their condition by improving the streets. This agi- tation during the past year has secured to S8an Franelsco great benefits in modern street im- provements upon Van Ness avenue, Folsom and other streets; and whereas, the gen- eral condition of the business streets of San Francisco demands continued effort for their improvement, to place them in condition for even favorable comparison with the streets of otner eitiesof the Unjon. Bo deplorable is the condition of Market street, the main busi- ness artery, with a pavement which, although it may have been adequate to the demands of travel upon itmany years ago, is now so far behind the examples of progress set by most of the cities of this country, that it has become a daily reproach to the infelligence and the en- ergy of our people; therefore be it Resolved, That this agitation so successfully begun be continued until the unsightly blemish upon the fair face of our City, the present antiquated pavement of Market street, has been removed and this street repaved with a modern roadway suitable to the traffic of the present times; and also until necessary improvements of other importaut streets have been effected; and further Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting and ot the citizens of San Francisco are due and are hereby extended to sll those City of- ficials and private citizens, and particularly to the present Board of Supervisors and the of- ficial expert of the Street Committee, George W. Elder, who have assisted this movement by their co-operation, and by their personal influence and activity have brought about much-needed practical results in street im- provements. They were adopted with a roar and the vast assemblage dispersed, after having thus aided to contribute a notable page to the history of public improvements in the City and County of San Franeisco.
