SUFFER- FORT.

The City Trustees VIII Probably AL
low It's Walls to Extend into l. Street
There is a likelihood that the City
Trustees will allow Suffers Fort to be
rebuilt on the original lines, which ex-
tend into l. street about forty feet.
\ yesterday morning E. j. Gregory and
Z. b. Ryan, Trustees of the Suffer Fort
property, appeared before the board and
asked permission to restore the fort to
its original dimensions by using part Of
l. street for that purpose. In order to re-
store it, it would be necessary to encroach
on the street with one angle of the fort, to
about half its width. Ii it can not be so
completed it viii spoil the work. While
the Trustees feel that they have a legal
claim on the street, the deed OF General
Sutter to the city expressly reserved all
streets and alleys running through the
property. He probably had at that time
the idea Of a park. The city had pos
session of the street by public use and the
statute OF limitations, but he asked that
in recognition OfGeneral Suffer- services,
both to the city and the State, the board
would give the Trustees OF the property
permission TO use the necessary portion
OF the street to restore the fort TO its orig
mai plan. Private parties had subscribed
money to buy the property and the State
had appropriated money to rebuild the
fort. He thought Sacramento could we'll
afford to give part OF The street. The
matter was taken under adviSement for

BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTN.
GaIIatin and Livermore Ask More
Time for J Street.
Twenty Days Further Allowed fo
Completing the Work in Pro-
gress on X Street.

At the meeting of the Board of City
Trustees yesterday morning l.. t. Hat
field stated that he understood that Tues
day was the time for signing the contract
for improving J street and he had been
circulating a petition among the property
owners asking that the time Of the con-
tractor be extended by the board, giving
him all the time that it thought it could,
to finish the job. The ties under the
track on that street are small ones and
four feet apart and the rails are only So
pound rails. The company feel that the
street from Third to Tenth, where the
heavy traffic will come, should have
heavy ties and also 52-pound rails.
He presented letter from Mr.. Liver
more TO the effect that he had been unable
to make any arrangements for widening
Henry, the present owner, and could do
nothing urtil he obtained control of the
road about February 1st, and would like
the work deferred.
The Mayor said the property owners
had another day in which to take the i'm
provement contract themselves. Their
rights in the matter end tomorrow and
they should look to them.
Mr.. Hatfield said the company have no
heavy rails here and could not get them
so as to put them down in the time speci-
fed. and it would probably be February
before they could get them, and perhaps
not before the lst of May could the work
on the street be finished. He had no
doubt, in fact he understood, that Mr.
Henry had no objections to the tracks be-
ing widened at the expense of Gallatin
and Livermore, and it would be great
Improvement to the street.
Mayor Steinman said he understood
that the cars could be sent around down X
street so as to facilitate the work, and in
that case they would not interfere with
working the men as had been the case on
X street, and the work could be done
better and more rapidly. The matter re-
ferred to by Mr.. Hatfield could be con-
sidered at a special meeting at O'Clock
this afternoon.
As the proposition was agreeable to Mr..
Hatfield the board will hold meeting
to-day at that time.
Mr.. Dennison, the K-street contractor,
also asked for thirty days additional
time to complete his contract, as although
he had done his best his inability to get
stone TOR the cutters had delayed him.
The Mayor and Mr.. Green thought that
too long time, and, on motion of Trus-
tee Green, he was granted twenty days.
