PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
North Beach Property-Owners APP
peal to the Commissioners.

Property-owners at North Beach have
renewed their demand for better protcc-
ton from fire. for which the necessity was
demonstrated by the recent blaze in the
Golden Gate undergrad. They sent
petition with many signatures to the Board
of Fire Commissioners last night. calling
attention to the wants OF the district, and
asking that adequate provision be made
for an engine and truck at Francisco and
Stockton streets.
The petitioners stated that not only the
great manufactures in the district, Dut the
seawall shed in which thousands of tons
of grain and valuable cargoes of merchan-
disc are stored. are without adequate protec-
ton. The nearest engine Is now at Broad
way and Stockton streets.
The Commissioners approved the re-
quest o! the petitioners, aud referred it TO
the Board of Supervisors.
The board appointed Jerry Murphy
