THE STREET COMMITTEE,
They Recommend the Pave
ment of Market Street With
Bitumen.
Van Ness Avenue VIII Also Be
Paved If Property Owners
Pay Half.

Ii the spirit manifested by the Street
Committee of the Board of Supervisors at
their meeting yesterday is sustained
through their term the City is reasonably
certain to witness revolution in its
streets-a boom in better pavements.
They declared in favor of paving Market
street with bituminous rock from East
street to Valencia, and also of paving Van
Ness avenue with the same, provided that
the property-owners on both these thor
oughfares would pay half the cost.
1t was recommended that $15O, 900 be
placed in the new tax levy for the Market.
street pavement.
Room on the tax levy for $4,000 ex-
penditure for the sewer through the Pre-.
sidio was also recommended.
Members were all enthusiastic and al.
most eloquent in behalf of better streets.
The petition in favor of paving Market
street was first taken up. Supervisor Ben
jamin made quite long speech in its
favor.
There is an organization composed OF
well-known citizens who want to increase
the population of the City," he said.
"Coufd anything be done to bring about
that end like putting our main bust
ness thoroughfares in such shape as to
wear the appearancesof METROPOLIS? To
pave Market street with bitumen means
to greatly increase the value of real estate
on that street; to greatly vacilitate bust
ness by making hauling easy so as to save
horsefesh. With all these advantages to
the property-owners and business men it
is to my mind nothing more than proper
that they should share the cost. am
inclined to believe there will be no objec-
ton to this on their part. 1t will bring
money to Market street, encourage invest
ment there and the building of structures

Supervisor Hughes said he was sure the
property owners would be glad to meet the
City half way. He knew OF several big
