The Sidewalks and the Snow.

Considerable adverse criticism of the
street department has been INDUCED in
since the fall of snow last Thursday
night, due to the fact that the snow
pillow was not promptly set at work on the
sidewalks.
Upon inquiry it it is learned that the
apparent neglect was due to misunder-
standing. The mayor, who is also street
commissioner, and Alderman Eppes, sup
posed it was understood that the con-
tractors of last year, Gray and Hurley,
were to do the work this year, as talk to
that effect had been made between the
parties.
Mr.. Eppes was in Boston Friday, hay
ing left the previous Wednesday. The
contractors waited for orders while the
Mayor supposed the WORK was being
done.
The result was that the snow-pow re-
manned idle all day Friday. Mr.. Eppes
returned Saturday morning, and did the
best he could with the snow that had
been tramped over for whole day.
Later gravel was sprinkled on the side
walks. 1t is not probable that the mis-
understanding Will occur again.

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

In the garden of Eden we are led to believe
Had surroundings as pleasant as hearts could

For Adam went differing of things that were

While Eve stole an apple aud gave sdam slice.
Now let me explain and mahc matters more

What tate awaits those who would take tree,
apple and all!
There are persons on earth who deny there's q
cod;
They deserve full dose OF the Christening rod;
dollar per head,
positive proof that the fools aren't all dead.
Ii we knew there was no hereafter what trouble
it would BRING
Our dc 'lS would fairly outriyal those of the
Whose canopy of state is an old umbrella,
Undouht,dly stolen from unfortunate
Who got shipwrccked and lost, and strayed into
his town,

crown.
Merry Christmas is comipg In the good olien
times
They ushered it in with the bells ringing chimes,
Then repaired to the churches and sang hymns
of praise;
They never once doubted Gods mysterious

To their Creator and Country they were stead

What a shining example for me and for you.

Sutton. More than $4,000 worth of this
one material will be used, and the carvings
upon it will cost $50, 900 more. The first
two stories of the California Hotel were
also constructed by this firm of Arizona
red sandstone, as well as many other pub
lie and private structures.
A notable piece of work from the yards
of McPhee, Grolier & Sutton, 1919 Market
street, are the eight large monoiiths, with
deliberately carved caps, which guard the en-
trance to the Presioio. The monoliths, made
OF Redding gray sandstone, weigh about
thirteen tons each. the caps. five tons each.
The carvings on the four sides of the caps
are the emblems of the Navy and War de-
partments entwined with wreaths of laurel,
They are said to be the finest stone carv-
ings on the coast.
McPhee, Grolier & Sutton deal IN the
native building stones of California, Ore
gon, Arizona and Nevada, and also Cali
fornia marbles. They are prepared to
successfully carry out the largest kinds of
building contracts. Perhaps the most no.
table piece of their finished work in this
City is the stone front of the magnificent
new Spreckels building on Market street,
opposite Mason. They also built the
pretty front to the Scott residence on Jack
son street, and have recently completed
the new business block of the Breuner es-
tate in Sacramento.
