EARN TIER DAILY DOLLAR
Two Hundred and Sixty
Laborers on the Boule-
ward.
More Funds Must Be Subscribed
if the Obi ct Is to Be
Attained.

Two hundred and sixty men were at
work yesterday on the new boulevard and
tomorrow probably 300 will be given an
opportunity 10 earn dollar apiece and
10 cents extra allowed for carfare to and
from the distant place of operations.
The deeds to rights of way through ex.
Mayor Sutro's and the Spring Valley Wa
ter Company's properties were received
by the Boulevard Association and depos-
tied in the Nevada Bank, to the satisfac.
ton OF all concerned.
The work: fund thus far subscribed is
S9710 70, but between $4,000. and 500, 900
more will be necessary to complete the
boulevard as far as Ingeside. The drive
way is to be 100 feet wide and finally COW
cred with layer of macadam ten inches
thick, or more than twice the usual thick
ness thus insuring substantial roadbed.
All the rock is to be supplied free of
charge from ex-Mayor Sutro's quarry
near by.
The committee in charge and members
of the Boulevard Association particularly
wish that citizens may go out to inspect
the work and to observe the diligence of
the men employed. They wish to show
the public that every man is earning his
case in the park Work done two years ago,
is sinking.
Cornelius O'Connor of the Boulevard As
sociation and an active mem Der of the
construction committee, was on the ground
nearly ali yesterday. He said that an ar
rangement is to be made for conference
with a committee from San Maleo County,
whereby arrangements may be made for
the extension of the broad. easy driveway
through that county and eventually to
San Jose.
More money is needed said Mr..
O'Connor, ITO insure work for others of
the unemployed in addition to those al
ready employed. Already 1866 men are
registered as applicants for places, and
260 have been put to work. Many of the
public spirited and charitably inclined
citizens have given money, but there are
rich men who have not yet subscribed.
There are several thousand cyclists in
this City and they are ever talking good
roads. Now, there is not one of them that
two dollars toward giving deserving man
days work and at the same time aiding
very materially in securing a magnificent,
broad, picturesque, sheltered drive to the
City.
"Let them raise q cyclists fund for the
boulevard work as an evidence of their
sincerity in always clamoring for good
thrir peace
"The object of this boulevard. '.said G.
G. Beamis, who is president of the Boule-
ward Association. ''is to get an unob-
structed and attractive road out of San
Francisco.
..Ihe San Bruno road by the bay shore
is narrow, rough and often traversed by
bands OF hogs, sheep and cattle being
brought in to Slaughtertown. The Mis-
sion road is occupied by an electric car
line and is very dusty. II we complete
the boulevard the City will have splen-
did drive to the Twelve-mile House and
from there on to San Jose is fine county
road. But if desired the drive may be
taken through the park round by way of
Ingleside and to the ocean beach. The
work now being done is through wooded.
picturesque hills that will insure q warm
ana sheltered drive"

boarded and lodged AT 81 a week, which it
is understood each will pay as soon as he
gets work and the money.

the unemployed qualify for the police
force and offer their services to the City
at the reduced price OF $50 a month.
