DR.. Peter Burns appeared before the
committee to ask that Grove street be
opened through Alamo Square He stated
that all the property-Uwners in the vicinity
desired the street opened, and while the
Supervisors had no authority to make
public street through any public park,
still, II nobody objected, a right of way
like Turk street through jefferson Park
could be obtained. which would meet the
desires of the petitioners. If needed, the
pr0perty-ownerS would contribute toward
the expense of opening the street.
The committee decided that no money
available for the work, which would be
quite expensive, is now in the fund, but
took the matter under Amusement for one
week.
A large number Of property-owners ap-
peared before the committee with reference
to establishing the grade OF Seventeenth
street, between Douglas and Corbett
roads. There being no unanimity be-
tween the applicants as to what grade
would suit all, the committee decided to
leave the grade as it Is.
Fixing the grades on Seventeenth street
was referred to the Surveyor for report.
The protest of property-owners against
constructing a sewer on FORK street, from
Twenty-ffLh to Twenty-sixth. was sus-
tanned.
The Surveyor presented an adverse re-
port to a petition for the establishment of
an intermediate grade on Danyers street,
near Eighteenth.
The committee reported in favor of
sprinkling Van Ness avenue, between
Broadway aud Vallejo street, the same hav-
ing been recently macadamiZed; but the
petition OF property-OwnerS to have this
portion of the avenue accepted was de-
MED, there being no power in the board
now to accept macadainiZed road.
An adjournment was then taken until
Monday morning next,
