A discus- sion took place, and several of the gentle- men present expressed the opinfon that not only Market street, but, uitimately, other streets, should be treated in some way to make them safer.

It is of interest to know that all the expression of opinfon was favor- roviding relief for animal s before the Street Coms mittee of the Supervisors were introduced by Supervisor Aigeltinger. He remarked that streets in New York were sprinkled with sand whenever the conditions made it desirable, and t it would be a good thing to eriod indicated in the resolutions. Many horses fall dally upon the slippery Market street pavement. The existing conditions cessary to provide some relief. Supervisor Collins spoke in the same way. He was aware of the dangers that attend driving aon Market street when the and had knowledge of many due to that cause. Concerning the proposition to sprinkle the Market street pavement with sand, he said: “I think it I8 a splendid idea.” Supervisor Attridge d that he thought in San Fran 0 n that had wo 3 The Market stree pavement at certain times was dangerous to horses.
