THE BOULEVARD.

The beginning of work on the boulevard
is gratifying complishment. Taking
all things into consideration, the work
may we'll be accounted as one of more
than ordinary Importance. 1t is an evil
dence, in the first place, that the people of
San Francisco are responsive to the needs
of their fellow-cItizens who are out of en-
ployment. and are willing to cooperate
together to provide work for those who
need it. tits, moreover, a proof that we
have now attained public spirit capable
of undertaking large enterprises for the
public good. Both of these things are
gratifying in themselves and have in
them, moreover, the promise of greater
things to come.
The boulevard when completed will be
one of the finest driveways in America.
1t will be notable addition to the attrac-
tions of San Francisco. 1t will open up
for residences one of the most picturesque
portions of the peninsula, and will thereby
add materially to the wealth OF the COM
munity. While in process OF construction
it will afford employment to large num-
Der of men at fair wages, and will there
fore be means of providing comfort to
many home which has been made desc
late by the depression OF hard times.
When the work thus undertaken has
been completed the people OF San Fran
cisco will have an object lesson in the
value of cooperative effort. They will see
before them a monument to public-spir-
tied enterprise. They will have contin-
ual reminder of what can be accomplished
for the general good when any consider
able number of citizens work together in
harmony and unity. The result can
hardly fail to be the development OF a
deeper and broader civic patriotism than
we have vet known, and out OF the good
thus accomplished there will flow forth
results too great to be easily calculated.
We have started work on the boulevard.
Now let us get the Government to start
work on the Federal building.
