splendid fresidio drive known as Nc
Dowell avenue, which winds through the
Presidio for many miles and constitutes
the one picturesque drive that the people of
the City are permitted to enjoy. The Gov
eminent has always kept this drive open
to the public, and in maintaining it in per-
feet order annually expends great deal of
money. 1t was the Governments idea,
while furthering it's own convenience, to
extend this public benefit by cooperating
with the City in combining Mcdowell ave-
nue., Lombard street and Van Ness avenue
in one grand boulevard, which in turn
would open upon Golden Gate Park, and
so with Golden Gate avenue complete a
grand circle.
The City has shown nothing like the en-
terprise and appreciation of the benefits of
this scheme that the Government has ex-
hibited nor have its people, while enjoy
ing the benefits of scheme which the
genius of General Miles conceived, made
the slightest move TO perfect it until a
handful of property-owners at the north
ern end of Van Ness avenue stepped to the
front and began the hard fight against the
millionaire property-owners who opposed
them. Now that the work has been begun
it is hoped that the City authorities will
do their duty in the premises. AS the best
thoroughfare for reaching the northern
water front, Van Ness avenue has value
which few seem to appreciate.
Another excellent suggestion made is
is that the great width of the avenue
permits of its whole length being
adorned with a strip of grass and verdure
down the center. As foliage is SO rare in
San Francisco and as it is always so valu-
able an attraction to city, this suggestion
should be considered in the general plan
of paving the avenue to the waters edge
and making it part of the great boulevard.

is no "news." as it has been notorious for the
last twenty years. But its calculation by The
CALL in detail may lead to some partial
remedy. There is another phase of the case
more difficult to reach, and that is the fish
trust, by which consumers have to pay 8 to
1212 cents a pound, while the fishermen who
do the work probably don't average 3 cents.
There is no justihable reason why fish, in a
seaport like this, should cost, considering its
nutritive value about six times as much as
meat In European cities fish is leading
article of food for the poor; here, none but the
wen-to-do can afford it. 1t is the Fish Com
missioners' duty to look into the fish trust
which keeps fish from the people, as well as
into the destruction of small fry. which only
does the same thing

One reason why people never pay any atten-
