The announcement that the Folsom
street Improvement Club was going to hold
a meeting last night-the first for about a
year-drew large crowd TO kelly's Hall,
on the corner Of Precita place and Folsom

motion selected TO preside
The objects of the NE citing as outlined by
Chairman O'Brien were to hasten the ex-
tension OF streets from what was formerly
known as Serpentine avenue to Army street,
from Mission street TO San Bruno road.
Resolutions were adopted asking the city
10 eXtend the streets and wreSt them from
private prOperty-owners. Not only did the
cluD want them extended by the way of
th0r0ughfare, but to have a perfected sys-
tenn OF sewers introduced instead Of the
leaking ones now there.
The club also decided to request the
Supervisors to improve Preeita place 50
that a park might be built in is center,
something after the present central park
near the new City Hall. A resolution
adopted was that 800 feet Of the Preeita
place be occupied by park 120 feet wide,
with roadway forty feet wide on each
side. The park is to extend from Folsom
street TO Columbia place.
1t was also decided 70 demand the extern

Captain White of the Tarawa. and he has a
very dignlned appearance, although he is

majesty was dressed In black Prince

so much impressed with his first view of

him the some royal treasures, which
consist of a number of canes made of

said his Majesty hoped TO dispose of at the

Renewal OF Testimony Regarding the
Portofiice site.
The affidavitmakers who possess special
knowledge regarding the Postoffice site
seemed to have been pumped dry. Very
few citizens called at Special Agent Glib
sons room in the Baldwin yesterday. and
those who came did not develop anything
new.
c. NJ. Mason Of 235 Seventh street favored
the site, which, he stated, was worth 1,000,-
900 to buy or sell. He said he remembered
big sandhill on the corner OF Seventh and
Mission, and there had been no swamp
within 300 feet of the spot.
Colonel j. ID. Stevenson, the Mexican
veteran, has filed a statement to the effect
that the site had been marsh land, and he
thought the foundation would be insecure
for a large aud heavy building.
). NJ. Wilson, the attorney, has a coast
survey map of 1857. which shows that at
that date the marsh covered a portion of
the present site.
Frederick Hess of the German Demokrat
was opposed to the site, but said that in
1853 80 there was a high sandhill near the
corner and he thought the marsh was 200
feet away. He had intended to buy the
hfty-vara lot at the site for $500. but he be-
lleved the necessary removal of the sand
hill would make the cost to him very much
more. lie values the property now ut not
more than half the sum at which it was
offered to the Government.
