View Route.

Property owners along the line of Union
street from Steiner to Baker are looking
forward with great eagerneSs to the compile
ton of the new extension of the Union
street cable road to the Preside on a more
direct route than that by way OF Harbor
View, and visitors TO the Preside are
especially iubiant over the prospect of get
ting there without transfer to The unde-
sirabe dummy.
When the new line is open, which will be
quite soon, the dummy will still run to the
Preside by way OF HarbOr View, the shore
traffic and the Sunday patronage at that
point being amply sufficient to warrant the
retention.
The new line is not in sany sense short
cnt and the distance from the corner OF
Union and Steiner to the barracks at he
Presdio will be about the same as by the
old road. The latter runs from Steiner to
Greenwich, to Baker, to HarbOr View, and
thence to the Presidio. The new road runs
along Union TO Baker, TO Greenwich, to
Lyon. to Lombard, and enters the reserya-
ton close TO the Old eastern gate or LON
