This project has been going for- ward for some years and there is about $15.000 in the treasury, 3500 of which came from the last St. Patrick’s day celebration. The slow progress was not the fault of the Celtic Union, but was owing to various matters that Inter- fered with the work. The St. Patrick’s day convention urged the building of the hall, and as a consequence new life was given to the movement. There are several forces now at work and a preliminary meeting was held last week at Knights of the Red Branch Hall. At this meet- ing John- D. Condon, chairman of the board of directors, presided, with the | following directors present: T. M. Searey, John Mulhern, Jeremiah Deasy, M. Merigan, T. P. O'Dowd, P. H. Flynn, { Colonel J. C.

The committee ' | expressed its determination to stop the general demolition of Telegraph Hill, | because the desire of the general public seems to be to preserve the landmark. | The committee stated that the com-: | pany’s permit called for the privilege | of grading for a spur track, but advan- | | tage had been taken for more extended ' of a bridge at San Jose and Mount Vernon avenues to replace the danger- ous strucure at that point and also the paving of Berry street, from Channel. | The total amount to be asked for will l ;approximate $2,750,000.
