Now is the time to buy lot in the
Brooklyn Tract. The position and the
surroundings OF this property make it
very desirable in the real estate mar
ket and tie choicest sites are in great
demand. Mr.. McAllister, the Secre-
tary, at 81 Spring street, will give all
the information in his power.
The condition of Main street where
the sewer is being excavated should
suggest to our City Fathers the neces-
sity of fixed system of engineering,
which would prevent tearing up our
principal streets about once month
to lay gas pipe, water pipe, or sewers.
Water pipes, gas pipes and sewers
should If possible, be fixed before the
final grade is made.
The nobility of the aborigine was
fully tested yesterday when two
mounted policemen We're required to
conduct four ragged squaws to the
Jail. We think the noble red women
have reason to complain that hack
was not hired for their greater conven-
ence, and would respectfully refer the
matter to the Indian commission, in
session at Fifth Avenue Hotel.
We desire to call the attention Of
our City Surveyor to the fearfully
dusty condition of Fort street, between
Third and Fourth, though part of the
grading is quite new. The work on the
East side is now progressing, and we
trust the City Surveyor will not accept
it until it is sI,rinkled and rolled. We
| ask the property owners on that street
to refuse to pay for the grdueL dust
until it has been made into u good
road.
]. M. Green. from Monterey county,
with family Of five children, aged
respectively, fourteen, twelve, ten,
eight and two years, is in this county
seeking home. He is farmer, will
ing to take the chances to build up a
home by working on shares or 9TH
erwise, on farm or ranch, and has
a fine wagon and horses to aid him.
Who can give him chance to raise
a crop next Spring? He is stopping
at the corner of Third and Spring
streets.
A correspondent whom we will bet
is an old reprobate that spends half
his time watching for pretty ankles
on muddy crossing, asks if We do not
think the pull back dresses now worn
by the ladies immodest. No we don't
They are pretty when the wearer is
pretty. If the old fellow is shocked
he had better go up on Behring's
Straights when there is tribe of Indi-
ans whose ladies are in full dress with
a mole on the back of the neck and q
piece of hoop iron in one hand.
We had the pleasure of meeting
yesterday Mr.. r. G. Hopkins, an at
tache of the Surveyor Generals Office
at present visiting Los Angeles and
the guest of Don Mateo Keller. Mr..
Hopkins has been twenty-four years
on this coast aud is accounted the fl
nest Spanish scholar in California. In
addition to his ability rs a linguist he
en- number of elegant little poetical
sketches. We trust his visit may be
pleasant and agreeable.
