The San Mateo boulevard, to connect with it, is in the hands of R. P. Schwerin, president of the Automobile | Club of California, who has procured subscriptions to $40,000, of which $5000 was contributed by the county of San Mateo. this road will be begun at once, ac- eording to Mr. Schwerin, and will cost when completed about $45,000. 4 “The city has paved the Mission road as far as the county line with bitumen and asphaltum, with the exception of several blocks at the College Hill, where a viaduct will be constructed, carrying the road over the depression at a good grede. The Ocean Shore Railroad and the United Railroads each have agreed to contribute $50,000, the former corporation to use a part of its $50,000 immediately in building a tem- porary wooden viaduct. The permanent structure will be made of concrete, and js estimated to cost $250,000. So the protiem of securing good roads out of San Francisco should, within a year, be solved, and the Burnham boulevard will i follow when the Southern Pacific Rail- ! roud Company has completed its cut-off o truction, thus enabling work to be ! Gone on what is now known as the Bay ) Shesr, probably the most picturesque road which the city will possess. “The Burnham plan also contemplates the construction of a road along the Ocean Bluffs, south of Lake Merced, which will be merged into the Coast Highway to Santa Cruz. “The Ocean BShore Railroad, which | tollows the same line, will be a splen- dia scenic addition to the attractions of San Francisco, and at the same time open up a rich tributary country.

The | city government is busy with plans for | the expenditure of the proceeds of the bonds for hospital, school buildings, M- brary, playgrounds and parks, which your directors will follow in order to secure the best results. The zeal and success of former City Attorney Percy V. Long and his assistant, Nathan C. Coghlan, in ac- quiring lands undér the bond issue, de- serve speclal recognition. | 'We have not ignored the smaller | things and have urged the Board of | Public Works, for instance, to keep the safety stations, public fountains and stat- uary clean, using the caretaker whom | the city employs for that purpose. We have also recommended to the Board of Public Works and to the Park Commis- sion, which they have taken up, the use of waxeand benzine for improving the surface of bronze statuary. We have called the atteneion of the ‘city govern- ment to the destruction of the seals on the Seal Rocks, and have petitioned for | their protection. We have, furthermore, urged the improvement of street lights and the enforcement of the city's laws with resgect to putting wires under- ,.ground. the year to create a public sentiment in | favor of erecting poles and stringing trol- ley wires on Sutter and Market streets, when your board, on the broad public ground of saving the city from disfigure- ment, successfully protested to the last Board of Supervisors. It was shown to the board that were not only a disfigurement but a dan- ger, and that New York and Washington had on thelr principal streets the under- ground conduit, and the cars were so equipped that the trolley wires could be used when the cars entered the suburbs, where there was less objection. The dig- nity and beauty of our principal streets should be our especial care. To save what we have is our first duty. HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS. | “Your board of directors sent a delegate to the San Franeisco Harbor Committee, | which i# organized under the chairman- | ship of Thomas Magee Jr., for the pur- pose of securing comprehensive plans for the improvement of the harbor of San Francisco in the same manner as the Burnham plans bave been secured for the ecity. Private subscriptions are solic- ited. This work has become necessary by the growth of commerce and the in- creasing population in the bay counties and the inauguration of new railroad and 'he improvement of the Presidio is a matter of great interest to the peo- ple of San Francisco, and your board of directors has communicated with our Senators and Representatives in Con- gress, urging generous appropriations, and has received reassuring answers from all:of them. The commanding | general of the department, Brigadier | General Frederick Funston, has taken | @ lively interest in this work and in- | forms your board-of directors.that, of | his own initiative, he has communicated | with Washington and that during the | year the War Department will expend | |large sums of money in construction work at Fort Winfield Scott (Fort Point), where a new artillery post is to | be established. - “Your board of directors and General Funston have formally objected to the | construction of these new buiidings in { the manner usually adopted at frontier | posts, and the general has recom- mended, which we have indorsed, that | ‘all buildings to be constructed at this post in future be of what is known in lifornia as the mission type. general adds in his letter to the War Department: ‘It does seem that some concession should be made to appear- ances at a post, situated as is the Pre- sidio of San Francisco, overlooking one | of the most beautiful harbors in the | world and in the immediate environs of | what is inevitably destined to be one of the largest and most attractive cities |in the United States. In this connec- tion it might be remarked that within | the past few years various civic organi- | zations have taken up in earnest the | subject of the beautification of the city | and to that end have engaged the pro- fessional wmervices of Mr. Burn- | ham of Chicago, one of the | best known architects in the United | States. In view of the facts above set | forth it seems singularly inappropriate | for the Federal Government to mar the | Presidio, with its beautiful forests and | roadways and superb views, by con- | tinuing the comstruction of the same | type of buildings that are considered | suitable for the coast of Alaska and on | the Western plains.’ “Your board has endeavored to create {a public sentiment in favor of the Pre- sidio improvements and has communi- cated with the proper authorities in | Washington in order that the Federal | Government may be saved from a seri- ous mistake. QUESTION OF WATER SUPPLY, “During the month of February the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolu- t.on (No. 6¥49), without notice or care- ful consideration, dfrecting the City En- gineer to investigate sources of water supply, excepting the Hetch Hetchy Valley and Lake Elinor, which are the Vbest sources of supply and most avail- able (and which may be secured with- out cost) in the estimation of the dis- tinguished engineers who have served | the city in recént years, namely, Messrs. | the late Colonel George H. Mendell. | The city has made its filings for a reservoir right of way with the Federal Government (because Hetch Hetchy Valley is situated in a natWnal park), and ‘the best sentiment in Washington is favorable to granting the applica- tion of the city, which is in the discre- tion of the Secretary of the Interior. ‘Supervisor ‘Wilson, who proposed the | resolution, subsequently in epen board | stated that it was not his intention to exclude the Hetch Hetchy water sup- ply. but the resolution of the board stands, and your board of directors has protested with a view of correcting the record. A Sierra water supply for San Francisco is one of its most urgent needs. It is estimated to cost, com- plete, $39,000,000 and will pay for it- self, interest and sinking fund by ordi- nary water rates and without addl- tional taxation. The city’'s capacity to issue bonds is fixed by law at 15 per cent of its assessed value.. This makes about $80,000,000 available, against $17,000,000 already authorized, leaving & large margin for improvements after a water supply is paid for. The assess- ment roll increased $200,000,000 in the last decade, which is equivalent to in- creasing the eity’s ability to borrow at the rate of $30,000,000 for every ten years. “The city brought suit during the year to condemn forty-seven acres on the face of the Twin Peaks, including the Burn- ham bungalow Site, for an auxiliary fresh water supply to be used In case of con- ‘An attempt was made during | trolley poles and wires | The | Marsden Manson, C.

VOLUNTEERS’ MONUMENT. “During the month of May an important addition will be made to the ordamenta- tion of our streets by the erection of the equestrian monument, executed by Doug- las Tilden in bronze and granite, com- memorating the services of the California Volunteers who gave up their lives in | the Spanish-American war, when -the | First California Regiment was the “first to the front.” The Park Commission has | accepted the monument and approved of | its location at the junction of Van Ness | avenue and Market street. “Pacific Parlor of the Native Sons of the GEIEEn West has with your president concerning a4 monument which it purposes to erect in Portsmouth:Square in commemoration of the raléing of the flag on that spot by Captain J.
