THE RESULT OF COMPLICATIONS.
This proceeding IS the result of multi IT,
tude OF complications, but comes principally
from the failure of the proposed system to
provide an outlet. The SUlid Nine" saw
a way out of the difficulty by causing a
street-openng aud giving fat positions to
lambs commissioners. The present board
turned the whole plan bottom side up by re-
pealiug that proceeding, and now Richmond
has a system without an outlet This board
is of the opinion, also, that the Point Lobos
system should provide an outlet for the
south side, since 1t will never do 10 open a
drain on the ocean beach. 1t would ruin
the beach forever as a resort aud popular
driveway.
