IMPROVEMENT CLUBS.
A large and important meeting of the
Federation of Improvem ent Clubs was held
in the Palace Hotel, on Wednesday evening,
when several matters of interest were dis
| cusSed and acted upon.
The Executive Committee called the at
tention OF the meeting to the fact that
mnnV DrODerty- owners. DOSSpSSed of wealth
are paying taxes on but "A small percent
age of the actual value of their property,
and that many others are exempt from
paying taxes on any part of their property,
while others have been assessed to the full
value of their properly. This unequitable
mode of assessment is more detrimental to
the finances of the city than the dollar
limit. The meeting concurred in this view
of matters.
President T. G.. Parker announced that he
would secure the services of an attorney,
Tree OF expense TO the organization, for the
purpose OF protecting the property interests
of members Of the federation.
The recommendation that the club records
its approval of the issuance of twenty-year
bonds for the construction of water works
was referred back to the committee.
1t was resolved to petition the Board of
Supervisors to establish an official grade on
McAllister street, between Stanyan street
and First avenue.
A lengthy discussion took place on that
portion of the committees report criticizing
| the assessment district formed to raise funds
| for the extension of Nineteenth, Twentieth
| TWenty-Trst. Twenty-secoGd and Twenty
| third streets, because ii was unfair to the
| many property-Owners not within this dis
| trict. A resolution eff the Board of Super
| visors establishing the assessment district
| goes as far east as Valencia street, while
the property actually benefited and upon
! which the assessment should have been
made extends only 10 Eureka on the east
| Lincoln on the west, Nineteenth on the
| north and Twenty-third on the south. The
| property east of Eureka Was assessed for
| the opening of streets years ago and should
not now be compelled to open and extend
| the streets named in the resolution Of the
| Board of Supervisors. The resolution
of p. A. Dolan, to the effect
| that the district to be benefited should bear
| the burthen of the assessment, prevailed.
Concerning the extension of Market street,
| the committee recommended that it should
| be in straight line, and that the proposed
| line should not be detected so as to aid the
! jobbery which is being contemplated. The
/ committee, therefore, recommended that
| mass-meeting of all the improvement clubs
! be called to consider the proposition. and
| added that it had filed with the Supervisors
| protest against the proposed detected line.
| These statements were received with APP
| pause, during which DR.. j. III. Miller of the
! MaTket-street Club arose TO speak on the
| subject.
In the course Of his remarks he referred
to the actions of Adolph Sutro in regard to
| that gentlemanS connection with the pro-
| posed Market-street extension, and stated
| that Mr.. Sutro had endeavored to have the
| lIue detected so as to pass his property,
| thereby greatly improving 1T, but afterward
came out in opposition to DETECTED line.
| Referring to the actions of the Street
| Committee DIR. Miller said they had held
| star chamber meeting at which they had de-
cided on the detected line, an action which
| had been taken so that some members of the
| COMMITTEES might be benefited.
"Some of them own insignificant lots"
said DR.. Miller, ito which they propose to
run Market street so they may be personally
benefited thereby. They have the temerity
| to propose to ruin the best street in the city
for their personal ends. They don't re-
| spect the wishes of the citizens They have
learned to respect only one power-that is
! the political machine. That is the reason
| this political scheme has been foisted on the
| citizens The people should be aroused to
| sense of the iniquity of these men who say
sent anybody. They represent only the
| Buckley element. Their object in laying
| out streets Is TO create commissions for the
followers of Buckley, and the larger the as
sessment district the more clover they will
| find"
The speaker was loudly applauded. The
committees recommendations regarding
| Market street were approved and the COM
| mittee was instructed to arrange for a mass
| meeting.
1t was recommended that the official grade
| OF Seventeenth street should be liked at Clara
and Uranus streets, and at Park Lane road
| as now advertised.
The following clubs were admitted to the
federation: North Point, Buena Vista, West
| ern Addition. Rincon Hill and Pacific Heights.
DR.. Salfield reported the organization of the
| Panhandle Club, and invited the delegates
to attend its meeting at the Melville House,
| 1104 Market street, tonight.
| MIR. Savage called attention to the damages
done the property of Mrs. belong at Fred
| erck street and Ashbury avenue, and the
Executive Committee was instructed to in
| qure into the matter. The meeting then
adjourned until next Wednesday evening.
