STREET WORK,
The Committee of the Board of Super.

The Committee of the Board of Super
visors Again at Work.
That portion of the municipal machine
commonly called the Board of Supervisors
was set in motion again yesterday morning
by meeting of the Street Committee.
During the customary summer vacation
that the Supervisors never forget to take,
that particular department of the city gov
eminent has been as quiet and free from
suspicion as an undertakers establishment.
Now the scene is changing; the hum and
hubbu5 Of the great machine is again
heard, and the cOmmittee-rOOm is the center
of renewed activity.
The first thing done was to award to A.
E. Buchanan the contract for grading
Eureka street, between Nineteenth and
Twentieth, for $500, that contractor being
the lowest bidder.
The following petitions were recon-
mended favorably: f. w. Foster, to re-
move a building on Nineteenth street, be-
tween Folsom and Howard Joseph Nell
son, to remove building on Lyon street,
between Suffer and Bush; Cornelius Dono-
van, TO remove building from 30 Austin
street; q. II. Umbsen, TO repair wooden
sidewalk at 500 Sixth street.
