Opening OF i,oadways.

From Bay to Ocean Necessitates tho
Opening of Il oadways.
The opening up of the western section OF
the City has brought about the necessity
of opening up additional driveways north
and south through the Golden Gate Park.
This necessity has from time to time
been MADE apparent by the continuous ap-
plication OF the Point Lobos mprove-
ment and the Sunset improvement clubs.
Both CT these have time and again petit
toned the Supervisors and the Park
Commissioners for the necessary cross
driveways through the park.
The opening o. First avenue from The
military reservation to the park has added
an additional necessity for drlveways
into that pleasure ground In the
direction mentioned. Richmond and Sum
set Valley are both i'm portant settle
ments, each bsing the residences OF class
OF people owning their own homes. They
are Identical in their wants and necessi-
ties. And yet, Notwithstanding the close
geographical position of both, they are
separated in the actual distance OF direct
commercial communication from each
other as though they were miles apart.
This inconvenience is brought about by
reason OF the Golden Gate Park, which lies

country on the western end, bordering
San Francisco Bay.
"The San Joaquin Valley Is bounded on
the west by The coast range OF mounAalne'
which is cut in two by the chaln OF oay
extending from San Francisco TO the con-
fuence of the Sacramento ana Dan 'oa-

San Francisco from the northern END OF
the San Joaquin Valley by crossing the
portion of the range lying south of this
chain of bays. ~.
North OF Livermore Pass and Niles
CANYON the range splits into two ranges.
The western range ends at Martinez ana
Port Costa, on the Straits OF CarqulneZ,
an the eastern, which contains Mount
Dlablo, ends at Bay Point on Suisun Bay.
"All the feasible routes have been ex-
amined and those giving the 10 oSt promise
have been surveyed, with the result that
it has been determined to pass around the
northern end of the eastern range and to
cross the western range at Franklin Cam
yon, at an elevation OF about $50 feet.
The main backbone of the ridge will be
pierced with q tunnel approximately oOOO
feet in length.
Thence it will descend to the Rodeo
Valley. From Rodeo Valley it will
parallel the Southern Pacific to a point
near San Pablo, whence 1t will go to Point
Richmond, where it hes been determined
10 locate q deep-water terminus on San
Francisco Bay. Where the road Will
parallel ihe Southern Pacific it will be
on, few hundred feet to half mile
from that line.
"The eastern and middle portion of the
route has not been determined upon
owing to the nature of the ground, which
is swampy and overfowed. No survey
work can be done until the water is low.
and this will not be until the fall. At the
present time it has not been determin ed
whether 10 cross the swampy land or to
skirt it to the south, as was done by the

August Ungrott's Carelessness Results
in His Death.
August Ungrott, a halter by occupa-
tion, 90 years of age, died last evening in
his home, 12H Washington avenue, from
an overdose OF arbolic acid taken by mis-
take. The old man had been for several
years victim of asthma and had been in
the habit OF taking small doses OF carbolic
acid diluted with water as relief for his
affiIction. Last evening he was suffering
greatly and took his customary dose, but
made the solution much too strong. A
few minutes after taking the dose Ungrott
began to suffer from its effect and called
one OF his sons and told HIM of the mis-
take he had made
Raw eggs and olive Oil were given the
sufferer, but without effect. and about an
hour after taking the dose he died. The
Coroner's office was notified, and Deputy
Coroner Haliet took cnarge of the body.
The deceased leaves a widow and four sons.
