THE CITY HALL PARK HND THE
PANHANDLE.

y MONG the Improvements proposed IN the city
I \ are two which, while they have hitherto been
considered separately bear such a relation to
one another they might be combined compre-
hensive scheme for making more beautiful San
Francisco. These the suggested plans of purchas
ing the blocks OF land nterposed between the City
Hall and Market street so as to form park front
for that edihce and the extension of the panhandle
of Golden Gate Park to Van Ness avenue
Either of these Improvements carried out separately
would of course add much to the beauty OF the city,
but both were accomplished the value of each would
be increased. The one would provide our principal
thoroughfare with handsome park, across which
could be the stately and picturesque facade of the
City Hail. and the other at point not far distant
would open grand driveway through park-like ex-
tension to the Golden Gate Park itself The continuity
and monotony of shops along Market street would
thus be broken in impressive way and the magni-
fcence of the avenue greatly increased.
OF the projects, that of redeeming the City Hall
Park is the more desirable At present the most i'm
porant and most superb of civic edihces is vir
tually upon back street, and our great central
avenue OF traffic is unadorned by any stately public
building or open square. The beauty conferred upon
Broadway, New York, by Bowling Green City Hall
square and Union square Is remarked by every visitor
to the city. Their eXpanses of green grass their
fountains their trees and their statues give certain
grace and dignity to what would be otherwise only
long OF shops.
Market street ought to be as attractive as Broad
way, but it will be unless it is in some mea-
adorned by parks, and other point along its
entire length is so fitted for park purposes as the
area in front OF the City Hall.
At the present time the buildings upon the lots in
front of the hall comparatively slight and their
purchase would not entail much cost nor their de-
structon much loss. The land itself certainly be
purchased more cheaply than will be possible at
any time in the future. This, therefore, is the time
to undertake the improvement Any plan for
beautifying San Francisco which does not include
the opening of the City Hall park can hardly be ac-
ceptable to the intelligence of the citizens.

OGDEN POLICE GET FULL PAY
SUPREME COURT DECIDES SAL
ARIES CANNOT BE CUT.
Ordinance Fixing Lower Salaries APP
plies Only to New Appointees
Fence Trespass Gases Tried.

An opinion was rendered yesterday in
the supreme court in the case Of Fred
Meisner, appellant, VS.. Ogden City. re-
versing the findings Of the lower court
and directing the entry Of judgment
for appellant for the amount of salary
sued for. The opinion was written by
Justice Baskin and concurred in by the
other two justices.
The plaintiff and appellant, together
with d. O. Sullivan, whose claim for
salary as policeman was assigned to
Meisner, sued to recover salary at the
rate of $50 a month from Dec. 20, 1897,
to May 10, 1898, they having been paid
at the rate of so monthly during the
period. MeiSner and Sullivan had been
serving as regular policemen since
March, 1894 at the stated salary of SIS
monthly. but on the 10th of May, 1898,
these two and another officer were
dropped from the police force by virtue
of an ordinance reducing the number
of patrolmen from seven to three. How
ever, nearly Ave months before this
date an ordinance was enacted reduc-
fng the salaries of the policemen from
SIS TO $40 monthly.
In rendering the opinion, the court
directed attention to the judgment of
the supreme court in the case Of H. A.
Heath and other policemen against
Salt Lake City. holding that the city
council could not reduce salaries of po-
licemen to take effect during the term
for which they We're appointed. The
supreme court yesterday held tie Og-
den case to be identical with the Salt
Lake City police salary case, and re-
versed the finding of the lower court.
The decision does not operate to restore
the two policemen to the force, but
merely gives them judgment for what
ever sums may be due them from De-
cenber. 1897, TO May, 1898, at the rate
of $50 a month instead of $50.

WESTERN KEEPS MOVING.
Operations In the Vicinity of Marys-
vale.
Sneclal Correspondence


Richfeld, Oct 20.-The announce
ment that the Rio Grande Western is
to build at once to MaTysvale has
aroused considerable speculation as to
what this sudden move means. Marys-
vale. while a very promising mining
camp has not been developed SUI
ficiently to warrant a railroad COM
pany building a branch or spur into
the camp for it's business alone.
Il looks very much as though the
Western had something else in view.
II is said that a much better route
and country for railroad building runs
around east of the Badly mountains
than the long-talked of route through
Sewer canyon. The road could easily
swing around those mountains, and
have a. comparatively level stretch of
country into southwestern Utah. The
roadbed is nearly all graded from this
side OF Beiknap to Marysyale. and 1t
will not take long to complete. By get
ting TO MarySVale this winter the road
can start in the spring and make rapid
progress through the country men
toned. A prominent railroad official
minated to the writer that the boys
were all guessing as to What was in
process Of incubation for the Sewer
te7-minus of the road. but that some
ching would soon be hAtched; of that
there was no doubt. An independent
outlet to the coast is what the Western
is seeking. and indications are that it
considers the time ripe for pulling
cut Work will begin next week on
grading and track-laying will soon fol-

FENCES OFF THE LINE.
Old Cases of Overlapping Fences on J
Street Tried Yesterday.

The three old cases of Salt Lake City
against Helen Thirkill, John Dern and
+. NJ. Taylor, relating to the encroach-
ments of defendants fences upon the
west side of j street, between Brigham
and First. were tried jointly before
Judge Hiles yesterday. City Attorney
Hall and Assistant City Attorney Hall
represented the municipality and
Pierce. Critchlow & Barrette appeared
for defendants Thirkill and Dern. A.
V. TAYLOR was counsel for the other
defendant. The cases were argued and
submitted.
The CITY seeks to compel the defend
ants to remove the fences back six
feet to the true line, but defendants
claim that they and their predecessors
in interest have had adverse possession
Of the strip in dispute for forty years,
and that the fences were erected on
the lines as originally surveyed.
