A Road Between Santa Margarita

c. L. Phillips of San Luis Obispo is in the
city. He is one of the promoters
of the Coast Railway project, and
in speaking of this matter yesterday
afternoon. said: Nearly all the money
subscribed has been paid in, and we expect
to turn things over to the Southern Pacific
people before long. The San Luis 0bspO
people have given $4,000 In money, besides
property for right-of-way. Santa Barbara
raised $4,000, San Jose over $1,000, and
San Francisco over $1,000. Altogether We
have raised about $4,000. 1t would have
cost the railroad people at least 100000 to
get what we have for about $4,000. There
are now eighteen condemnation suits pend
ing, eleven of these being within the town
of San Luis. The railroad people have
promised to begin work in sixty days after
the deeds fer rightS-ot-way have been turned
over to them. There are good many small
owners along the route, and We have already
over 200 deeds. Ii may seem odd 10 have to
aid the railroad co pany in this way, but
there was no alternative II we wanted the
road soon. Ii is very clear they do not
think the road is needed yet, but we want 1t,
and are satisfied that it will be Of enough
benefit to make up for the effort it will cost.
We have secured fifty acres for depot site,
etc, at San Luis. The West Coast Land
Company has given about $4,000 worth OF
properly and its five members have together
given over 1000 in cash..

DISTURBING THE ANIMALS.
A Move to Declare Woodward's Gardens
Nuisance.

A Move to Declare Woodward's Gardens
Nuisance.
Ex-Judge Van Reynegom appeared be-
fore the Health aud Police Committee of
the Board of Supervisors yesterday in be-
half of movement by the residents sur
rounding Woodward's Gardens to have the
place in its present condition declared a
nuisance and ordered abated.
a petition with this end in view was
presented to the board about one year ago,
but the signers DID not push the matter,
because there was every prospect at that
time that the litigation in which the estate
was involved would end in the abandonment
of the gardens. Since then, however, one
of the heirs has opposed the others in this
disposition Of the case and has taken the
case on appeal to the Supreme Court. 1t
now looks to the neighborhu0d rs IL an eff
fort would be made To perpetuate what it
has long since come to regard as a veritable
nuisance.
The committee decided to report in favor
of requesting that the Board OF Health con-
demu the menagerie part of the gardens as
a nuisance and order the animals re-
moved.
The proposition to establish the Pound in
the block bounded by Sixteenth, Ell Dora
do, Alabama and Florida streets has re-
suited in protest from the residents of
that locality. a long protesting petition
has been filed with the board. and those
who supported it denounced the institution
as Objectionable as a peSthOuSe.
1t WIS maintained by the protestants that
the location was obtained through deeeitful
methods. POundmaster Partridge on the
other hand said the site had been selected
after much hard work and study.
The matter was taken under advisement
ny The committee.
