A bill which will be presented to the next

creavy of the Thirty-ninth Assent bly, DISTRICT
regulating the change OF grades Oh all streets
and highways throughout the State is being
prepared by the attorneys OF the Feoeraton OF
I'm provement Clubs.
The matter of changing the grade OF Upper
Mark ct street has been agitated for some two
or three years, but by a recent decision OF the
Supreme Court the law under which the worK
was to have been done was declared to be un-
constitutional.
Since the Sutro car line has been built
through Richmond district the growth OF the
section has been marvellous Where there
was scarcely q score of people year or two
ago there are now about 1900 residents. The
people living between Twelfth and Thirtieth
avenues say that a new school should be built
somewhere in the vicinity OF Twenty-fourth
and Point Lobos avenues. The City owns sew
eral lots which were reserved for school pur-
poses, and there will be no expense as lar as
site is concerned.
The Point Lobos Improvement CLUB has been
asked to take the matter in charge, and 1t will
be brought to the attention of the Board OF
Education Immediately after the first OF the
year.
II the Clarendon Heights Improvement Club,
which was formed during the past week, is
successful in having Seventeenth street cut
through to Uranus, which Is to be one OF the
first actions OF the club, the residents OF the
Mission district Will be afforded fine drive to
The park. At present there is no direct way to
get to the park from the Mission, and the cut
ting through of Seventeenth street as proposed
will save a iour-mile roundabout drive.
A number of the proper ty-owners AMI mer-
chants of Seventh street will form an improve
ment club shortly for the purpose of ad-
vanclng the business interests OF that thor
oughfare.
The street committee of the San Francisco
Association of Improvement Clubs held
meeting during the week to consider the
question of sewer system for the district be-
tween Thirtieth street and the county line,
which is being demanded by the residents of
Sunnyside, Holly Park, Ocean View Fair
mount, Five Mile, Excelsior and other tracts.
Action on the matter was deferred until Janu-
airy s, when a special session OF the street COM
mittee will again be called to decide which
plan of having the outlet built ought 10 be
adopted.
The citizens OF the Ocean View district are
to petition the Supervisors for more electric
lights.
Residents of Excelsior Homestead and the
district adjacent TO the Mission road are to be
supplied with water. A gang OF men have been
main on Mission road. From Onondaga ave-
nue., near the Six-mile House, the men have
been working east, and will connect the pipe
with the mains near the College Hill reservoir
and the Four-mile House.
