AN IMPORTANT TEST.

As the Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors is doubtful if the CITY has
the power to make the proposed expendi-
ture that will transform the center of Van
Ness avenue from Market street to Fort
Mason into continuous park the ques-
ton may eventually resolve itself into a
test OF public spirit on the part of the
property-owners on the avenue. The pro-
posed improvement contemplates strip
twenty-one feet wide in the middle of the
street planted to grass, shrubbery and trees
with seats and six. feet of the sidewalk on
either side planted to grass and palms. The
estimated cost of the whole is II cents a
front foot. besides the cost of excavating.
Generally the property on the street is
owned and occupied by wealthy residents,
whose capital and enterprise constitute an
important factor in the business and pros
perity of the City. Being the handsomest
thoroughfare in the City its property COM
mands high value. In its present form all
that distinguishes it from a commercial
street is the accident OF an absence of
shops, but as the road is level there is at
present no business reason why it should
not be commercial highway as we'll as
! oAA oticct, ACept ihdb tAc NdlueS are TOO
high for any besides large commercial es-
tablishments. To transform it into COM
bination of park and boulevard, as the pro-
posed Improvement contemplates, would
be to render it permanently unfit for COM
mercial purposes.
An investment of something like 20 cents
front foot in such an Improvement would
undoubtedly bring a very large profit in
the shape of enhanced property values. 1t
would not be possible to place such an i'm
provement in any other street in town.

If you ioiter in the shadows
On a sunny dav like this,
You will miss lot OF sunshine
And certain kind OF bliss.
Don't forget that on the highway
All the walks are free and wide,
And when walking in the daytime
Always seek the sunny side.
So on life's highway remember
That q difference is plain
There's side that's s bright with pleasure
And aside that's dark with pain.
If, perchance, your life is cloudy,
Don't forget the way Is wide;
Look for brightness-it may happen
