and it is determined by the Council to
commence operations on entirely new
lines.
1t is thought that this will be good op-
portunity to give work to the unemployed,
too.
Recently Charles Newton, an extensive
owner along the lakeshore, was ap-
preached on the matter, and he agreed to
donate strip of land twenty five 10 forty
FIVE feet wide to be used by the city for its
proposed boulevard. Councilman Smell
says Of the matter:
by placing cheap retaining bukhead
at reasonable distance out in the lake she
entire eastern tide of it can be filled up so
as to make, with the land given by Mr..
Newton, street 125 feet In width. Some
years later, when the city is in easy finan-
eial condition, wall of riprap can be
placed without this wooden bulkhead and
the Improvement made permanent.
''This will make no serious infringement
on the area of that beautiful sheet OF
water, aud will give at The same time room
for fine promenade sidewalk OF fifteen
feet next the water. a roadway of 1G0 feet,
the inner portion of which could be used
for an electric railway, and on the inner
side OF the avenue ten-foot sidewalk.
against the fouT-fOOt-high stone wall that
would form the foot Of the terrace of lawn
and shrubbery that would slope up there
from.
"Mr. Newton. with intelligent compre-
hension Of his own business interests and
with true liberality of public spirit. says:
Take anything you want, in reason. and
welcome TO it,
This improvement has everything to
recommend il. 1t is a public work that
must be done sooner or later. 1t is a step
in the development of the wonderful pos

finished and macadamiZeG (Of which cost
the owners on the eastern side will pay for
one-halD and be ready for uss within time
for it TO become a delightful lakeside
promenade and drive before the close of
the Midwinter Fair.
And best Of all, the pleasure it will
afford to the public will be heightened by
the thought that its construction has fur
nlshed bread to deserving people in q dark
hour of sore distress"
Ready and Willing.
1t is well known that the city has had q
little difficulty in having papers served on
the proper person in order to commence
its suit against the Southern Pacific. or the
water front company, which is the same
thing.
First 1t was Steve Gage upon whom an
attempt was made TO serve the papers, but
he said he was not the right person. He
slipped out of the matter. Then young
Colonel Crocker was sought after. but il
appears that he, too, slipped away just in
time.
Now the railroad company denies that
there was any intention of evading ser
vice on the part of that corporation, and
t. .. Douty. who Is the vice. pr eSident of
the water front company, in an inter-
view, has this to say in the premises:
"One suit was fled Saturday, August o.
On Monday, August 2S | personally in
formed one of the attorneys for the city
who the officers of the company were. On
Wednesday. August so. Colonel Croeker
and c. +. Green left for the East They
could have been found at any time on
Monday. Tuesday or Wednesday at the
Office OF the company. which is we'll known
TO be on the northeast corner of Fourth
and Townsend streets. San Francisco"
Mr. Douty then goes on TO say that legal
service can be made on him at any time
the city's attorneys so desire.

Sick Cows aud Bad MILK.
Sanitary Inspector Smith has reported
to the Board of Health that at certain
dairy he found cows suffering from con-
sumption, and that number Of them had
been in an unhealthy condition for two
years last past. The dairyman was threat
ened with publicity and punishment un-
less immediate steps were taken to eradicate
the evil
One dairyman, Mr.. Smith said, had con-
sented tn kill some of his cows, but only
after threats had been mads to give his
name to the public
There were some dairies reported 10 be
in most foul condition, and a form of
notification to these was read at the meet
ing of the Health Board, stating that if
this matter were not remedied now drastic
steps would be taken against the proprle-
tors of such daireS.
DIR. Pratt made few hot remarks at the
meeting, concluding by saying that any
dairyman who would sell milk from such
place was guilty OF the grossest GRIMM
ality.
