Why Residents of the Potrero Must
Walk Four Blocks.

The residents Of the POtrero who have
for number OF months been compelled TO
walk four blocks out OF their way during
the building of the Fourth-street bridge
are now asking why they still have to con-
tnue this Inconvenience when the bridge
is comple'ed. They did not object while
the bridge was building, but now that it Is
ready for travelling they want TO know
why its gates are locked.
The reason is that the city has not yet
accepted the bridge. AS the Board of
Supervisors has adjourned for six weeks
there is little hope Of the bridge being
thrown open to public use until the expl-
ration of that time. as the board must
accept the work. Some effort will br
made to call another special sessinn Of the
board. but there is little prospect of q
quorum being secured, as most Of the men,
bprs leave for their vacation trips The
Supervisors want the bridge tested before
they will accept it and will direct the
Street Superintendent 10 make a public
test when the board reconvenes. There
will pro baby be fight over the bridge,
IS it is understood tbs contractors have
large bills for extras which were not in
cluded, for some reason, in the specifica-
tions. Some Of the members will object
to paying more than the contract price.
