NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
A movement mas been started in favor Of build
ing a new Masonic Temple Of greater magnitude
and more elaborate than tile structure on the
corner of Post and Montgomery streets.
The capital stock is about all subscribed and
several locations have received general canvass
and careful consideration by the Executive Com
lnittee appointed TO supervise matters. The
preference as TO site Is understood TO be largely
favorable to the 50-vara lot on tile southwest
corner of Golden Gate avenue and Jones street,
Immediately adjoining the new Htbernia Bank
building. In this connection IL is possible that a
basis Of exchange could be arranged with the
Post and Montgomery street site. For this latter
property il is believed Senator Fair is willing 10
ray the fun market value, and probably little
more, because it adiOins the LICK House, OF
which lie is the owner.
The Senator is likewise the poSsessor OF the
Golden Gate avenue corner which the Rlasons
lave Their eye Oh. The matter OF adjustment
ought 10 be comparatively easy, particularly as
both contracting parties would be actuated by
proper business spirit. II the corner OF Golden
; Gate avenue and Jones street pass into the con-
. troll Of The Masonic fraternity that neighborhood
would show MAI ked Improvement, as Il Is caleu-
lated 10 spend about million OF dollars ID the
erection OF building that would be second 10
none OF lis character in the United states.
MARKET STREET EXTENSION.
A striking project which has been evolved OF
late is The extension of Market street up TO Twin
Peaks and beyond by way OF Lake MERGED TO The
ocean. That The project Will be accomplished
within a few years there is no doubt. That the
fIr-seeing capitalists of tile city look upon II as
feasible aud practicable is evidenced by the
large sales Of land which have lately been made
for their account.
one real estate dealer stated yesterday that
lis firm had purchased $4,000 worth of land
subsidiary TO the Market-slreet extension, and
That other firms had Invested equally large
amounts in lands adjacent
The auction sales Of the week nave been large,

PoTRERo-AYENUE CARS.
d There is a poor prospect for cars running
along PotrerO avenue In the near future.
Gustav Sutro, President Of the railroad COM
. pany, CLAIMS 10 have fulfilled every promise 10
HE letter and at earlier dale than was expected.
He has had q double track laid all along the
IhOrouEhlare. The two tracks, the SPACE OF nye
feet between, and Two feet OF the roadway on
either side Of the tracks, are covered with mac

Unless this be done, the street Will be a mass Of
mud and Slu>h lie coming winter. and the run
hing Of ears would be Impossible, as the road

and other vehicles. The netgnborhood has been
dead for so long d ueri0d that it was supposed
