STREET COMMITTEE WORK.

The prospects are that the dilapidated Cogswell fountain, which will be removed from the intersection of California, Mar ket and Drumm streets, to make way for a flagstaff from which Old Glory will be foated, will soon find its way into some iunk shop. Professor A. B. Sanford of the Cogswell Polytechnic School requested the Supervisors for permission to remove the fountain and have 1t erected in@Co- Iumbia square. This request was con- sidered by the Street Committee yester- day, and it was decided to advise the board to sell the fountain and turn the proceeds into the Fire Department fund.
 After the transaction of the. usual rout- inc business the committee decided to re- port in favor of the petition. of the Pre- cita Valley Improvement Club. asking that Shotwell, Howard and Capp streets and Treat avenue, from Twenty sixth street to Precita avenue, be graded and macadamized, and also that Twenty sixth street, betweet Bryant street and Potrero avenue. be severed.
