If the Dupont Street Improvement Association is able to carry out its plans as set forth at an earnest meet- ing at the residence of Samuel Dusen- berry, 2232 Pacific avenue, yesterday afternoon, there will soon be a new and greater Chipatown in- the ola location. After Chairman A. D. Keyes had ex- plained that the purpose of the meet- ing was to make emphatic the fact that Chinatown must rebuild where it was and that nobody has the power to prevent the Chinese from holding their own property and acquiring more within the buunds of the his- toric Chinatown, there was some dis- cussion of the street plans recom- mended by the citizens’ committee of forty. These plans were approved, with the one amendment that it was the sense of the meeting that if Du- pont street be widened it be from the west, with no jog at the east side thereof, as proposed. % Secretary R. S. Browne introduced a resolution voicing the plans of At- torney Henry E. Monroe to the pur- pose that the new Chinatown should be a model Oriental city, a thing ,of beauty constructed along uniformly harmonious lines. The resolution was passed and the chair appointed R. S. Browne, W. H. Humphreys and Henry E. Monroe to work out the plans in detail for consideration at a subse: quent meeting of the association. Mr. Momroe said, in advocating the new Chinatown, that the eyes of the world woyld be on San Francisco, as never before, and that it would be well to show the public that the own- ers of property in Chinatown are tak- ing the initiative in the movement for better things. Continuing, he said: “The new Chinatown must become one of the gregt and picturesque fea- tures of the new San Francisco. We must overlook nothing in the sanitary and ornamental construction of the Oriental city under contemplation. When Commercial street is widened to the bay and when the boulevards and wihding driveways contemplated by the committee of forty are made there will be a marvelous drive which strangers can take, and that drive will embrace Chinatown. “The Chinese and the owners of property are 2 unit in the idea that the reconstructed Oriental quarter must be-distinctive and imposing. If the Oriental cities at world’s fairs are ugiformly the most interesting features, how much more imposing and interesting will be the new China- town with its distinctively Oriental facades and odd architecture. This will delight the Chinese, be a credit to the. city and bring greater profits to the owners of property.” _ Charles Hirsh was for the plan of a beautiful Oriental city. He said there was no possibility that China- town would ever again become any- thing else than Chinatown. It was not of the character to attract Amer- icans as a residence section. He want- ed the public to ynderstand fylly that the owners of property and the Chi- nese were determined to build such a section of San Francisco as would be not only a credit, but a place of rare and unique interest to the public at large, to the travelers of the world. Charles Harris favored the abolition of Merchant street, which he said had no excuse for existence, as it was a mere alley scparating a shorg block into twe sections. He proposed to give the 35 feet of- that. street to | Washington street, which he thought should be made a wide thoroughfare. The meeting adjourned’ subject to the call of the chairman. CONTRAGT MEN WILL BE L03ERs 'Attorney Devoto Advises That City Is Not Responsible. These Whis' Hal - Jeli From City Under Way the Sufferers. | {Litigation Involving Big . Sums Seems to be in Prospect. It is likely, if the opinion of Atter- | ney Devoto, legal adviser for the Board of Public Works, is final in the | matter, that all contractors who were | ehgaged in work for the'city will be | heavy losers by the earthquake. .At a recent meeting of the board the question as to whether the contractors or the city should stand the loss occa- sioned by the shake was brought up and referred to Devoto for an opin- fon. The attorney says the contractor must finish the job according to char- ter provisions and without additional recompense. Should such action be taken the contractors will be out of pocket sev- eral hupdred thousand dollars. Sev- eral large contracts were let some time ago and in some cases the work on them had progressed to a large extent. The matter was brought be- fore the board by Healy, Tibbetts & Co., who were engaged in construct- ing a sewerage system on Baker street. These gentlemen found that most of the work they had completed was undone by the tremor of the earth, and, as the work had not been accepted by the city, they were still liable on the contract. The matter was referred to Attorney Devoto with a request that he advise the board at the next regular meeting. ‘When the board met yesterday De- voto was ready with his report, con- sisting of four tyiSewrlnen pages, and coples of it were submitted to mem- bers of the commission. The opinion was to the effect that the contractors must finish their work and that, their compensation would be no greater than in the original specifications. The city, acording to charter provisions, took no cognizance of earthquakes and afforded no rellef for the man who accepted a job under contract. The Board of Public Works took no action in the matter yesterday. The opinion will not even appear in the minutes. It was decided after a brief consultation to deliberate on the matter and to give the contractors the opportunity of a hearing. Just what the contractors will do in the event that the board refuses to allow them relief to the extent of damage done by the earthquake, is not known. They are deeply interested and claim they have distinct rights in the mat- ter. Should the decision of the local courts be adverse they say they will carry their caSes to higher courts and will prepare for a hard fight. . _— Weak, Weary, Watery Eyes, Red, Inflamed and lmh'figEy-udl.

TOERECT HOTEL IN SQUARE St Franiic Company Will Take Care of the . Tourists. . Temporary_S_truc‘ture. Is to Be Put Up( in Union Park. Kitchen and the Dining- Room . in Hostelry Can Be Used. Henry T. Scott of the Hotel St. Francis Company informed the Board of Park Commissioners yesterday that the lack of accommodations on this side of the bay was driving many San Franciscans into the bay towns and also tourists who were especially desirous of remaining on this side, where they could dally view the ruins without the inconvenience and waste of timé involved in crossing the bay. Scott asked that his company be grant- ed permission to erect in Union square a structure of 200 rooms. The baths, dining-room and kitchen of the St. Fran- cls were in good condition, he ex- plained, and if permission to. erect the structure were given he could accommo-. date many people and the money they would spend would remain in San Fran- clsco. “It is not our purpose to make a profit out of this plan,” said Mr. Scott. “We will charge reasonable prices, but should there be any profit, which there prob-* ably will be, we wili give all of this to the park fund.” Mr. Scott's plan was accepted with fa- vor and he was granted the desired per- misslon to erect the structure, the same to stand until such time as the board may direct its removal upon sixty days’ notice. Upon motion of Mr. Metson the com- mittee on insurapce was also given per- mission to erect a building on the square for the accommodation of the committee, of which Mr. Metson is a member.

ROADS FOR A United Railroads Rapidly Reco structing the Cab > Lines. Only Northern ‘Part of] - City Is Now Without Transportation. Big Force of Men Getting Sutter Street Ready for Wires. With the advantage of the flexibility given by having a system wholly electric, the United Railroads are fast reorganiz- ing their runs. The main changes so far upon the old conditions arc the bringing down te the | ferry the lines that formerly had to stop higher up Market street. A new line also has been established connecting the Mis- sion with the beach. But work is now going on to make an electric road of Sutter street. A great gang of men is tearing up the roadbed and placing new heavy groove rails. The old cable lines running the length of the city, such as the Haight, Hayes, McAllis- ter, will be the next to be reconstructed. Their roadbed can be used for a time, and only a scarcity in wire is delaying thé work. The northern part of the city is the portion now suffering from lack of trans- portation. care of by cable roads which have been destroyed. -The Powell-street road is the | most~ difficult problem. - The line is a narrow gauge, unfit for the large electric engineers are now considering some de- tour of the hills giving easier grades. It may be reconstructed, however, as a cable road. The Kearny-street line will be started again as soon as the danger from falling walls and debris has disappeared.
