On the Colfax track is an order for their sus-

The Spokane riders claimed that they were

sat in the grand stand until the events were
concluded. In interviews the boys declared
that the management of the Colfax meet was

Patrons of the Folsom-Street Line
Object to Walking Two
Blocks.
TO IMPROVE BERNAL PARK.
Proposition TO Make Useful a Barren
and Baneful Strip of City
Property.

The residents OF Precita Valley, through
the medium OF an active and energetic
improvement club, are striving to remedy
what they consider the far too numerous
public grievances of their district The
club held meeting at Graham's Hall, at
Twenty-seventh and Alabama streets, last
evening and the various projects contem-
plated for improving the neighborhood
were earnestly discussed by la rye gath
ering. Stephen A. Byrne presided and
John E. O'Brien acted as sc cretary.
Daniel Sullivan reported Tor the COM
mittee which was appointed at previous
meeting to interview Mr.. Vining In regard
10 making needed improvements at the
terminus of the Folsom-street line that
Mr.. Vining had promised to investigate
the matter. The club decided to wait an
other week before doing anything in the
matter. The defects in the terminus of
the Folsom-street road have long been a
source of annoyance to the residents OF the
district.
Owing to a slight inclined grade at
Folsom street and Precita avenue, the
proper terminus of the road, the cars now
STOP two blocks away, TO the great incon-
venience of Precita Valley passengers. 1t
is said the grade could be remedied at a
very Insignificant cost.
The committee appointed to wait upon
the Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors in regard to an appropriation
for the improvement of Bernal Park re-
ported that the committee seemed favor
ably impressed and promised 10 report
favorably to the board.
| A vote of thanks was extended the
| finance committee for this encouragement.
| The improvement OF Bernal Park is a
| scheme dear to the heart OF every resident
/ of the district. This park consists of q
strip of land 500 by 200 feet, bounded by
Folsom and Alabama streets, Precita ave
nue. and Army streets. Though desig-
| mated park upon the City maps, it is al
the ra ins of the winters have left it,
swampy. unhealthy depression.
1t is nnfenced, and is commonly used q,
a thoToughfsre. although, on account o
its unfitness for this, il has been the seen,
ing on the park are eager to put in sewers
but do not wish TO incur expense until tn
City is ready to properly fill in its roperty
Attention was called to the menacin
condition of the sewer on Bryant stree
from Twenty-sixth to Army. The sewe
there Is only wooden box, which was pu
in as temporary outlet from the Coum
bia School. Ten years ago this sewer wa
put 1t, and the planks have now becom
rotten, until for nearly two blocks tn
sewer is open most of the way
The leakage has caused an IN
healthy vegetation along this di:
tance, and the nuisance is tn
more aggravating as it is along the stree
that many children necessarily follow I
reach the Columbia School. The attentio
of the Health Officer will be called to th
nuisance.
The Preeita Valley Improvement Club
although only recently organized, Is on
of the most enterprising of the City
many similar organizations and it prom
ises by its energy and persistence TO
much for the district it represents.
