"There! That settles the Native Sons
paradeP' said an early riser as he was walk
ing down Montgomery street yesterday
morning and arrived at the point now being
torn up for the laying of sewer. This re-
mark was echoed by others throughout the
whole day.
When the route of the parade was first
laid out, it did not comprise any portion of
Montgomery street north of Pine, but it
was afterward changed, so that the process
sion would pass out Montgomery street and
the avenue to Kearny street and thence back
to Market. But about week since con-
tractor Anderson decided to tear up Mont
gomery street to put in a new sewer.
A petition was circulated to have his time
extended, so as to allow the parade to pass
unobstructedly through Montgomery street.
This was done. not only because the people
along the street want to see the parade. but
because If it does not pass that way the
amount of subscriptions will probably be
about eight thousand dollars less than
otherwise.
Yesterday Afternoon Supervisor Bingham
called on the Native Sons aud stated that
he had interviewed Contractor Anderson,
who had assured him that the work on the
sewer would be completed this month "His
word" added Mr.. Bingham, is good, and
you may expect the sewer to be laid, the
street open and the road-bed level by Sep
tember."
