The water.com- pany has pipes laid to H street and Forty-seventh avenue and is ready to proceed farther as soon as the grading of Sol Getz & Son's blocks and streets adjoining are completed. At their meeting last Friday night the mem- bers of the club pledged themselves to securé from the city the necessary aps propriation to grade. H street to the ocean. It was reported to the club that the Park Commissioners had set aside $6000_to be expended for the improve- ment of the Ocean boulevard. A com- mittee of fifteen members of the club was_ appointed to wait on’ Mayor Schmitz to ask his aid and co-opera- tion in the work for the interest of the Oceanside district. Mayor Schmitz gave a hearing yes- terday to a committee appointed by the Oceanside Improvement Club. The opening of H street was the subject of this interview. It was explained that without a graded street leading direct from the city the residents of the Oceanside district were deprived cf the most important privilege of getting liv- ing supplies or material for improve- ments as cheaply as residents of other city districts, The Mayor was appealed to urge upon the Park Commission- ers the necessity of widening the Ocean boulevard and placing electric arc lights thereon, as such improvements | would be appreciated by the general | public as averting the colliding of ve- hicles. The necedsity for an engine- house with fire apparatus was dwelt upon, the committee stating that even a chemical engine for the present need weuld be acceptable. The establish- ment of new grades was also thorough- ly discussed. A mounted police patrol .| being very much needed, the Mayor, was agked to use his good offices to obtain the same for the district. The Mayor by his expressions showed that he was in accord with the statements of the Improvement Club's committee and assured them that he would give his hearty support in securing all nec- essary privileges for. their district.
