Action was taken on the petition of the Sharon Estate Company, which has paved, curb- ed and sewered the street and constructed sidewalks at {ts own expense. Some doubts have existed in the past as to the dedication to the city for use as a public street of certain portions of New Mont- gomery street because of the reservation upon the Assessor's block books for as- sessment purposes and the levying of taxes against the Sharon Estate Company and Minnie L. Selfridge and Lydia G. Selfridge. The board notified - Acting Chief of Po- lice Martin that notices are now being served requiring all bootblacks maintain- ing stands on public streets whose per- mits have expired to remove said stands. Complaints have been made that stands have been placed just inside the proper- ty line, requiring the bootblack to per- form his labor on the sidewalk. The board requests that. patrolmen be directed to see that the stands be so placed that the bootblacks as wcll ‘as the stands proper be clear of the sidewalk or street. The Pacific Foundry Company was granted permission to open the roadway of Market street for the purpose of set- ting concrete piers for poles for a per- menent scheme of illumination and deco- ration, the work, however, to be done ! under the direction and to the satisfaction of the board. A resolution was adopted fixing the rates for cartage, Inspection and paving ;"or side sewer work during the ersuing ear. ————— GOES TO A PRISON FOR HIS FIRST CRIME Marin Resident Who Admitted Theft of Cattle Encounters the Un- bending Law.

Pretty Julia May Gifford, the actress and wife-to-be of Robert Fitzsimmons, the pugilist, arrived from the East last evening and is a guest at the Palace Hotel. Anticipating the coming of his betroth- ed Fitzsimmons, who is engaged in train- ing Jeffries at Harbin Springs, dressed in his best traveling suit, hastened to Sacramento yesterday and. arrived. in ample time to prepare himself for a welcoming greeting to Miss Gifford. He the'nup!lals of the couple would probably have been celebrated some time to-day. Fitzsimmons, however, balked at the proposition of securing a license on Fri- day and having failed to get one yester- day his marriage necessarily is deferred until to-morrow.
