Greenwood is putting away childish
things and preparing to array itself in
the garb of an adult city. Recently its
municipal authorities passed an order
requiring all awning with posts resting
upon the sidewalks and all signs hung
across sidewalks and telephone and
telegraph poles III the main streets re-
moved. Like all innovations, there will
doubtless be vigorous protests at first,
but soon the sacrifice OF eNpcdiency for
beauty will be applaudcd. -kosciusko

A disastrous fire accompanied by
death occurred, yesterday at the Model
lodging house building, 737 Mission
street The loss will run into many
thousands The unfortunate man who
lost his life was Thomas Lester, who
was suffocated while trying to make
his way to the street.
The lodging house and the stores un-
derneath were completely deluged by
the great volume of water the depart
ment was compelled to throw on the
flames before it got them under con-
troll The lodging-house was a cheap
resort, containing about 500 rooms, 200
Of which were occupied. Had the fire
occurred at night the loss of life would
probably have been great.
The cause of the fire is more or less
a mystery A portion of the house was
being fumigated' and il is supposed the
sulphur which was being burned in
iron pans may have set fire to the
woodwork
For time it looked as though the
flames would be carried by the strong
westerly wind into the Thomas Day
street, but they were checked before
they reached it. The upper floors of the
Day building were filled with smoke,
but it is not thought the damage will
be much. The stock of gas and cleo
trio fixtures, etc. is valued at $500, 900
and is all of a delicate nature, easily
damaged by smoke and water
The first notice taken of the fire was
by R. W MARYLAND of 73S Mission
street, who saw smoke pouring out
Of the windows about 1870 a. m He
rang for chemical. which promptly
appeared on the scene, and ladders We're
run up TO the building. Captain Sayers
made an inspection, but found no
fire. He retraced his steps and was in
the act of driving away when a man
appeared at an upper window yelling
Fire." An alarm was then sent in
for the department Captain Sayers
and his men again ran up their lad
ders and dragged their hose with them.
The smoke of the fire, combined with
the fumes of the sulphur, made it al
most impossible to work in the build
ing.
Dozens of ladders were stuck up
against the burning structure and tor
rents of water poured in by The depart
ment After an hours hard fight the
fire was drowned out.

PREPARES TO EXTEND
NINETEENTH AVENUE
Board of Works Adopts Specifications
and Orders Bids Invited for the
Improvement

The Board of Works yesterday
adopted the specifications prepared by
the City Engineer for the extension.
grading and macadamizing of Nine
teenth avenue. between Trocadero
road and Ocean avenue, and the secre-
tary was directed to request the Su-
pervisors for authority to do the work
at an estimated cost of $4,000.
The application of the San Fran
cisco Construction Company to do
street work on Sixth avenue, between
1 and streets. was denied, for the
reason that the city will be liable for
a portion of the work and no provision
was made in the budget to meet the
expense of work performed in front
of city property. The board will pc
tition the Supervisors to appropriate
$4,000 for such work.
The resignation of John Johns, as
sistant to the city chemist, was ac-
cepted.
The specifications prepared by the
department of electricity for poles for
a permanent scheme of illumination
of Market street were approved and
bids invited for the work.
Relative to the petition of the Ray
mond Granite Company for a per-
NIT to construct a spur track on Utah
street, the board decided to take no
action on such petition until a suit
now on trial in the Superior Court is
decided to determine the power of the
Supervisors to order the granting Of
the permits.

tify property-owners on Fourth street
