PATHWAYS FOR OAK PARK.
RECCMMENDATI OF COUN-
TY SURVEYOR BOYD.
Result of Investigations Recently
Made by Him for the
Supervisors.

County Surveyor Boyd has submitted
to the Supervisors the following report
on the proposed pathways in and about
Oak Park for the use and convenience
of pedestrians and bicyclists: 'e45f
To the Honora BILE Board of Super
visors of Sacramento County-Gentle-
men: Agreeably to your order, 1 have
made an examination of the proposed
bicycle and foot path in and adjacent
to Oak Park, and report as follows:
1 find an urgent necessity exists for
this Improvement, and 1 respectfully
recommend that a path for the use Of
pedestrians and bicyclists be construct
ed as follows:
First-Along the west side of Sacra-
mento avenue between the tree line
and the gutter, from the south line of
Y street to the south line of Cypress
avenue, a distance of 2,69O feet.
Second-Along the east side of Thir-
ty-third street, between the tree line
and the gutter, from Sacramento ave-
nue. to Cypress avenue, distance of
$50 feet
Third-Along the west side of Thirty
fifth street, between the tree line and
the gutter, from Sacramento avenue to
feet.
Fourth-Along the north side of Mag
nolia avenue from the west side of
Sacramento avenue to the upper Stock
ton road, a distance of 400 feet.
The total length of path, as indicated
above, will be $3.50 feet, or approx
imately 12s miles.
1t is impractcable to maintain
path across some of the street or ave-
nue. intersections at Oak Park, owing
to their muddy condition in the winter
Such crossings will of necessity consist
in a two-plank crosswalk, which will
be of material advantage to pedestrians
generally, and to school children in
particular.
In the estimate of cost presented be-
low. l have provided for carrying the
path over those intersections, which
would not admit of any other cheaper
construction, yet I respectfully recon-
mend that full length crosswalks be
constructed across every intersection
along the line of this path, as far
south as the school lot. This may be
accomplished at cost of ST. in ad-
dition to the estimated cost presented
herein below.

THE SUPERVISORS.
Bids Opened for Supplies for the
County Hospitals, Etc.

The Board of Supervisors held an adj
journed meeting yesterday for the pur-
pose of opening bids for County Hos
pital supplies and the transaction OF
some minor business.
On motion of Gillis, it was decided to
have bad place in the Marysville
road, between Arcade and Dry Creek,
repaired The spot complained of is
about 300 feet in length.
The matter of the repairs to the ap-
proach of the Folsom bridge over the
American River was referred to Su-
pervisor Curtis, who will have the re-
pairs made
Bids for second growth four foot wood
for the County Hospital were opened as
follows: c. F. Silva, new wood. $40
per cord, seasoned, $3.50; Dunbar &
Smith, S725; Thomas Coulter, 81; NJ.
Hanrahan, S725: S. Dwyer Give oak},
$50.
Bids were also opened for groceries,
clothing, dry goods, etc.
Gerber Bros. being the only bidders
for meat the contract was awarded to
them for six months-beef, 8 cents per
pound, and mutton, 6 cents per pound
on foot
There being but one bid for bread,
the contract for that article was
awarded to S. Dwyer at $1.SS $40 per
hundred pounds
Supervisor Morrison said he was in
formed that Mr.. Schaden, who had the
last contract for supplying brooms to
the hospital, had declined to supply
brooms because the price had advanced
some 90 per cent. AS Mr.. Schaden is a
bidder again on certain articles, he did
not consider it right to permit him to
compete while declining to fulfill for
mer contract.
The bids for drugs and groceries
were quite voluminous and contracts
for the various articles will be divided
among many persons. The bids for fuel
Will be acted on to-day.

FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Friends Surprise Henry Burnhan
and Wife.

A pleasant surprise was sprung on
Henry Burnham and his wife last night
at their residence, it being the fortieth
anniversary of their wedding.
Mr.. Burnham married Mrs Garfield
in this city forty years ago, she hav-
ing come round the Horn" in 1853,
and they have ever since lived in this
city. OF all those who witnessed their
wedding only Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Cum
mings and Mrs. B. S. Nichols survive.
1t was determined by the friends of
the couple that the anniversary should
not go unrecognized and they arranged
to drop in on them unawares and spend
the evening. The surprise was a COM
plete success and about forty personal
friends took possession of the house,
The record-union., 1899-12-23

a small bridge will be required, five
planks wide, provided with railing 10
guard against accident. At all inter-
sections where no cresswalk is provid-
ed an apron 4 to feet in length, two
planks wide, will be set to carry the
path over the cutters. In front of the
north half of block %, on Sacramento
avenue, between Thirty second and
Thirty-third streets, the path will be
graded up to an average fill of tweve
inches.
This path should be constructed six
feet wide, and subsequently a layer of
decomposed granite, two inches deep by
four feet wide spread evenly thereon.
This rock has been offered by the War
den at Folsom Prison at the rate Of
$50 per car.
To accomplish the work herein out
lined will require approximately TWEEN
tytwo cars, or 354 tons. or 236 cubic
yards of rock. 1 estimate the entire
work will cost S51S.94, and if the cross
walks are constructed as recommended
then the estimate of cost will be
$606.47
In passing, and in conclusion, I again
call the attention of your honorable
board to the fact that many improve
ments are being made in Oak Park,
such as the planting of shade trees,
construction of curbing and concrete
sidewalks. ETC., all in a haphazard man
ner, without any official data for the
guidance of the individual property
owner. Complete surveys should be
made of the park, and a system of
drainage adopted, and by ordinance
the position of the official lines for
curbing, shade or ornamental trees,
pitch of sidewalks, ETC., determined and
established by your honorable board, so
that future improvements may be car
ried out on official lines. Respectfully
submitted, J. C. BOYD,
County Surveyor.

What is the number of your pass,
sir?" queried the new conductor
Il don't carry any pass. l travel on
