Sausalito, and now we have a fine avenue
nearly two miles in length OF uniform width.
1t is in the rough vet, but shortly, now that
this decision has been rendered, the Trustees
will determine how it shall be paved. We
shall have to determine how the money for
this is to be raised. IL may be py creating
The board, consisting of General John H.
Dickinson (presiden0, J. W. Sperry, o. c. Mil.
ler d. T. Hughes and myself, are IN favor OF
making such Improvements as viii make this
an attractive place for people to visit.
The Government has given the right of way
over its lands to the people OF Sausailto' ,an1 q
have drive from here to Lime Point, thence
10 Point Bonita, thence through Tennessee
Valley to the county road to the starting point.
The route described will make a drive
eighteen miles in length, that will be pic
turesque, having bay, valley, mountain,
ocean and wooded scenery, and, IN add
ton, the Notifications, the fog signal sta
ton and the lighthouse. 1t will probably
surpass the far-famed Carmel drive III
Monterey County.
The town is in need of first-class hotel
and plans have been prepared to build one
that will be on the eastern slope, with cot
tages on terraces below it and it also needs
electric lights. but these will be put up,
the residents hope, before long.
H. G. Campbell. II. H. Noble and A. T.
Marvin are negotiating for right of way,
with a view to building a straight-away
railroad from Water avenue to the apex OF
the hill from which a view of the ocean
may be obtained. This will give access to
many of the residences on the Mob Hill OF
the town.
One of the projects that has been adj
vanced has been the esta blishment OF
bathing houses, either south of the ferry
landing or fronting on Richardson's Bay.
''Of course" said Charles Forrest. one OF
the well-known residents, 1--WE have baths
in private residences, but Sausalito has not
public bathhouse, and those who want a
bath have to go to San Francisco"
There is a movement among the people
looking toward an improved water system,
that will produce more and cheaper water
for consumption. There is a likelihood
that during the summer the railroad COM
PAW will run a boat to Oakland via the
creek route, so that excursions can be
made from one place to the other without
making transfers and without unnecessary
loss of time.
The talk of the people shows that they are
alive to the necessities of the time, and
when the work proposed is accomplished,
Sausalito will be one of the most attractive
towns within thirty miles of the
metropolis.
While the people have cause for con-
graduation, they are in fear that the

those of all other towns of the sixth class a
great deal of annoyance.
This bill, ;" said Trustee Miller, "gives

ours the right to ask for, disincorporation
1t provides that if one-fourth of the in
habitants petition for disincorporation the

and if the proposition is voted down, then
such demand shall not be renewed for one
year"
1.-The Governor should look at that bill
very carefully before he signs it, if he
should make up his mind to do so,'' said

if it becomes law will cause a great deal
of annoyance, not only here, but in every
town of the same class" added Mr.. Miller
