Street Found Dead in Bed.
William Parr Bullard of 2314 Clay street
was found dead in his bed at half-past I
o'clock yesterday morning.
His wifi, who slept in another room,
opened his room door and found the
apartment full of gas. She threw up the
windows, and while her sister, Miss Grace
Evans, ran Tor doctor she attempted to
restore her husband to life, but he had
been dead for many hours. The body was
removed to the Morgue.
Bulard up to eight months ago was a
bookkeeper for Collins & Lyons, teamsters
for lum ber company. He was taken
sick, and while he was absent his books
were examined and a small shortage
found in his cash account For this he
was discharged and was obliged to make
good the shortage.
Since that time ne had been sick and out
OF work. Recently he had been drinkin >
heavily, and was drunk when he retired
last Friday night. The stopcock on the
gas fixtures was loose, so that a person
carelessiy turning out the light would be
likely TO partly turn on the gas after the
light had been exiting guished. For that
reason and because the Beyhole and other

I close watch on municipal litigation,
there is good case for the city in spite OF
! the decision of the Supreme Court, which
| he says went off in such way, being an
| agreed case, as to be invalid. According
TO his idea the title of the city is inaiien-
BILE. His views appear in full elsewhere
| in this article.
The necessity of more room for the City
Hall and for some attention to the ques-
| tion of esthetic surroundings was seen
very clearly by Hon. William Alvord in
1873. His views were expressed in his
valedictory address, part of which dealt
with the question directly. He held that
the sale of the lots along Market street
was a great mistake, and he referred to
the fact that, in the great cities of the
world, magnificent buildings are not set
in such surroundings as to spoil their
luster. The same views that he then ex-
pressed seem TO be generally popular to-
dav, as appears by interviews.
The following interviews on the PROPOSE
tion to build the park after condemning
and buying the land south OF the new City
Hall, were culled from a heterogeneous
field. They mbrace both city officials
and men in ali branches of business. The
bonding system is generally favored,
though several favor direct appropria-
ton from the tax levy:

the properly was sold by Job in the first
place, and that as the owners have had
the rents out of it for long time, they

A. -. Baldwin: ut is not too late
TO correct the monstrous error which was

some that the expense will now be too
great to acquire the property should not
prevent an effort being made in behalf OF
the project. Some day it will be. an ac-
com piished fact. and the longer it is de-
| layed the greater Will the cost be. 1t is
claimed by some that park in front of
the City Hall will have tendency to di-
vert business away from Market street
and that the value of property on that
thoroughfare beyond Ninth street will be
depre ciated. | don't entertain any such

in order to support q theory that few

10 presume that such an i'm provement
will help to make San Francisco more at

as pla ce OF residence and resort. The
idea, tn erefore. that we ought not TO have
a park on Market street because business
might go down or lid some other street Is
not worthy of serious consideration.
"While we are revie wing the errors OF the
past, and as there seems TO be tendency
on the part of the present generation to
correct them, why not take up the extern
sion of the park panhandle from Baker
street to Van Ness avenue. This scheme

park.

all classes. whether the person inter-
viewed dwells south of Market street or
north, for the City Hall belongs to all of
the people, and all are equally anxious
that 1T be seen by strangers within the
city's gates as well as by the public here.
1t would seem from the case of the city
against the City Hall Com missioners, de-
cided in the Forty-second California, that
the land that was originally part of the
City Hall Park by operation of the or
dinance was never really dedicated TO park
uses in such way as to preclude the city
from selling part of it, as was done by
the commissioners. Under that view of
The San Francisco call., 1897-10-10

the law, unless there were some other de-
fects IN the Transfers, it is apparent that
about the only way for the city again to
acquire title Is 10 proceed under the ger-
eral law of eminent domain and condemn
the property for public uses. deciding by a
jury what the land and its improvements
are worth TO the present occupants and
owners.
There may be an easier way 10 solve the

Many persons expressed themselves
