STREET EXTENSION.
The Proposed Continuation of Potrerc
Avenue.

The Proposed Continuation of PotrerO
Avenue.
A special meeting of the Potrero Avenue
Improvement Club was held last night at
Maennerbund Hall, j. d. Koran presiding,
L. G. Dwyer at the desk.
The principal object for which the meet
ing was called was to receive tile report
from the committee appointed to confer
with the San runO Improvement Club re-
gardng its position on the proposed extern
sion of POtrero avenue, and to attend
meeting of the Federated Clubs at B'nai
Birth Hall. On behalf Of this committee,
Thomas Mitchell and L. j. Dwyer stated
that the members of the San Bruno Club
are 10 man in favor of the extension.
Upon request of a member. the Secretary
read tue extension act passed at the recent
session Of the Legislature, showing the au-
thOrity of the Board OF Supervisors to open,
widen or extend streets.
L. +. Mitchell and II. Schulken spoke on
the desirabiity OF appointing a committee
to meet committee of the San Bruno Club,
and having asceTtained the probable amount
of the assessment to consider what action
would best promote the interests of ma
jOrity of the taxpayers. On motion, the
following members were appointed to serve
in this capacity: j. ID. Koran, II. Schulken,
l.. j. Dwyer, Charles Sehaefer, Louis Baltz,
Peter StalbeTg, T. +. Mitchell and Patrick
higgins.
To test the sentiment of the club, mo-
ton was made ind0rSiDg the proposed eX-
tension, a majority of the members voting
in its favor. Several opposed this action,
and Charles Schaefer and Louis Baltz, both
of whom voted in the negative, explained
their action by stating their opinion as to
the desirability OF filling in the hole between
Twenty fifth and Army streets, and ac
cOmplishing the removal of the pesthouse
and the construction of a good sewerage sys-
TEN before extending the avenue to the
county line
James Hughes favored the extension, but
opposed any action on the part of the club
until the prOperty-Owners interested had an
opportunity of passing upon the amount of
their assessments.
L. j. Dwyer advocated the opening of
Utah street and expressed the opinion that
the assessments would not prove such a
bngbear as was imagined. as the district
affected would be so large that the indiYid-
ual burdens would be light.

San Francisco was clearly destined by
nature tc be a city of artistic and beautiful
homes. The situations and views TO be OBJ
tanned are grand and commanding, and the
climate is such that flowers grow in album
dance the year round, lending their esthetic
taste to beautify the home, whether it is a
palace or cottage. The building Of a resi-
dence is one OF the events of lifetime, and
great care has to be bestowed upon, and
taste displayed in. the undertaking. For
