IMPROVEMENT OF STREETS.
Meeting Held Last Evening and Active
Work Brought In Prasnect


An important meeting of the Executive
Committee, together with the Street Com
mittee of the City improvement Associa-
ton. was held last evening; Grove l..
johnson. Chairman of the latter commit
tee, presiding Ia addition to the COM
mittees named, there were present also
Senator Dray, Assemblyman Fassett, Mayor
Gregory, Trustee Ryan. the City Engineer
and other prominent citizens interested in
he improvement of the city.
The subject of street Improvements was
the topic of the meeting and was fully
discussed. There was unanimous agree
ment as to the desirability of securing the
grading and crawling OF the leading streets
of the city as rapidly as possible. The
question of endeavoring to secure amend
ments to the present street law-the Vroo-
man Act-so as to facilitate getting streets
improved. was discussed al length. One
proposition stated was to have it so
amended that the City Trustees should
have absolute power, after hearing objec-
tons OF property owners, to order streets inn
proved. Another was an amendment to the
law so as to require that i@o-thirds instead
OF one-half of property upon a street be
required to successfully demonstrate against
Improvements.
After mature consideration, however.
it was concluded 10 push forward under
the law as it now stands, trusting in the
loyalty of the property-owners to the city,s
interests to willingly join in the good work.
and no. prevent improvements which will
benefit themselves as well as beaatify and
advance the welfare of the city. Under
this conclusion DR.. G. l.. Simmons offered
the following resolution, which was unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, That the Committee on Streets be
requested to appoint special committees to i'm
meolately wait upon property owners ON G, II,
L, }: X, l, NJ N, o, Tenth and Twelfth streets,
and endeayor to secure their cooperation in
grading and crawling these principal thor
oughfares within the next eight months and
that the City Trustees be requested to order up
these streets as soon as possible where in their
Judgment, they think best to do so.
The question of a new city charter hav-
ing been brought up in discussion before
The meeting. 1t was considered somewhat
at length, and finally Christopher Green
offered the following:
Reso'ued, That the Board of Trustees be re-
quested TO call an election OF freeholders to
draft new charter.
After further discussion the subject was
postponed until the next regular meeting of
the Improvement Association first Monday
in February, when the subject is to be
taken up for action

They Talk of Recommending the AboI-
ishment of Mortgage Taxes.
Yesterday afternoon eleven County As.
SCISSORS met in the Supreme Courtroom of
the State Capitol.
j. NJ. Asher, Assessor CT the county of
San Diego, who had been instrumental in
securing the meeting, called the assem-
blage to order. He stated that he had
written to every Assessor in the State to
meet with him here at this time, and had
received replies from nearly all saying they
would do SO. The assessment of property
was something that should be eoualized as
nearly as possible. Nothing bnt good
could result from such a conference and
interchange OF ideas. The revenue laws of
the State needed amending in many i'm
portant particulars, and those who had
seen its workings, as had the Assessors,
were in position to recommend beneficial
changes. The poll-.ax laws needed amend
ing, and he was of the opinion that the
mortgage tax laws should be abolished.
They utterly failed to accomplish the end
for which they were intended
AT this juncture someone whispered that
reporter was present.
Mr.. Nealon of San Francisco informed
tie scribe that it was an executive session
and the latter withdrew.

In is altogether indicative of the haste
with which the American public rushes
to conclusions, and speedily accepts the
or.es, that the Chicago merchants who
are now opposing the interstate commerce
law, were-a large majority at least
the very men who were most persistent in
the demand for the law. At the same
time 1t is testimony to the perfect frank
ness with which the American business
public, when it makes an ill-considered
movement confesses its error and seeks to
reirsce its steps.
