PRESIDE IMPROVEMENT
Residents of the Heights Discuss Plans
for Enhancing the Value of
Their PropertY.

There was an enthusiastic meeting of the
Preside Heights Improvement Club at
Kinzel's Hall, Washington street, last
evening. In the absence of President
George Sanderson o. D. Baldwin presided.
A motion passed at the previous meeting
to have committee appointed to agitate
the matter of having all the streets in the
district improved with bituminous rock
was rescinded, the improvement not being
deemed feasible at the present time.
1t was reported that California street.
from Central avenue to First, was in such
bad state of repair as to be almost i'm
passable. The car tracks were said to be so
high that one could scarcely drive buggy
over them. A committee consisting of
James Dever, f. Fl. Allen and Peter Nc
Hugh was appointed to wait on the Board
OF Supervisors to request that California
street be macadamized from Central ave.
nue. 10 First.
The same committee was also authorized
to ask for the improvement of Walnut,
Locust, Laurel, Sprue, Maple and Cherry
streets from Clay to California
A communication was received from L.
ii. Nagel calling attention to the condi-
ton of the sewer on Clay street from
Cherry to First avenue. There is no out
let to the sewer in that block and as con-
sequence the sewage is being forced to the
ouAiaoe. % oiitiaec was leu TWO weeks
ago for completing the sewer, and the sec
rotary was instructed to ask the Street
Superintendent why the matter has not
been attended to.
The matter of making a boulevard of
First avenue from the Preside to Golden
Gate Park was discusse at length. 1t was
the unanimous opinion of the meeting
that the work should be done as soon as
possible, but that it was too much of an
improvement.
The following we're named as such COM
mittee: 0. d. Baldwin, T. Bickle, A.
Sbarbaro, J. Fl. Mendittio and George San
derson. The secretary was instructed to
inform the Board of Supervisors of the
sense of the club on the proposition and
the committee appointed to see the prop
erty-owners was requested to wait on the
board and explain the matter to them.
The club adjourned to meet in four

stroyed. The horse, being blind. remained
quiet and was uniniured.
Del B. Bowley, city agent of the Fire
mans Fund Insurance Company, wit
messed the accident. He says an attempt
was made to keep Bourjade back.
The fagman at the crossing tried to
warn the driver of his perlous position, +"
said Mr. Bowley. "but Bourjade appar-
emily did not see the approaching cars and
drove right on, not Knowing what the flag
man meant until it was too late"
Several similar accidents have occurred
at this and the other crossings on Towns
end street. The railroad company has no
gates here as they have at the Howard
street and Mjssion-street crossings and
the drivers go into danger unawares.

SMASHED BY CARS.
C. Bourjade Loses His Wagon and Wine
on Townsend Street, but Saves
His Life,

A backing engine caused another acct
dent at the Sixth and Towndsend streets
crossing yesterday shortly after noon. 1t
was only through the merest chance that
there were not fatal results. The damaged
party this time was c. Bourjade, wine
dealer residing at 1411 Pacific street.
Mr.. Bourjade was driving over the Gro S.
ing when number of freightcars backed
by a switch engine bore down on him. He
heard no warning, and when hesaw the
cars they were so CLOSE that he became
confused. He yelled at his horse and struck
him. This made the animal, which was
blind unmanageable.
Not being able to see where the danger
lay, the horse rushed to one side and be-
came fast in switch with the wagon across
the track. Bouriade jumped just as the
first car struck the wagon and thus saved
his lie. The vehicle was smashed to
splinters, and its load, which consisted of
demiiohns of wine, was, of course, de-

Judge Campbell yesterday on a petty larceny
charge. Williams was accused of stealing q

denied nor admitted the charge, explaining
that he WAS drunk at the time and therefore

the charge be dismissed on the ground that he
was her sole support. Judge Campbell agreed
to do this provided young Williams would take
pledge not to touch whisky in any form for a
period of twelve months. This Williams
eagerly agreed to do, the oath being admins

The factory where these goods are

1t isn't often the case where a firm has
orders ahead that they reduce the price
of the goods but this seems to be an ex-

for whore formerly it sold for $3.50.
But they do things differently in Europe
from America.
This corset is warranted as having no
