OAK STREET NEGLECTED
The Ashbury Heights Improvements
Club Wants Repairs in This
Direction

The property-owners and the residents
in the Ashbury Heights district will in
the near future make an urgent request
on the Supervisors to have Oak street
bituminized from Baker to Stanyan.
The improvement club of this district
congratulates itself upon the progress
made by constant agitation toward obtain
ing from the City fathers what has already
been accomplished for the district south
of the panhandle of the park. But the
property-owners claim that much remains
yet TO be accomplished in the line of get
ting good sidewalks and proper street
crossings on the principal street.
Oak street, they claim, is one of the
section, and yet it is the most neglected
so far as suitable pavements are con-
cerned.
At the next meeting of the club steps
will be taken to bring the matter in as
forcible manner as is possible before the
Supervisors for their consideration.

what the effect may be.
