The Board of Public Works yester-
day recommended to the Supervisors
that the northerly half of H street be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty ninth av-
enues and between Forty-fifth avenue
and the Great Highway be graded, curb
ed, nlacadamized and sidewalks be erect
ed thereon. The expense of the work
will amount to $4,000, which will be
borne by the city, as that side of the
street adjoins Golden Gate Park. The
property owners will be directed to i'm
prove the southerly half of the street.
1t was at first intended TO bituminize
the street. but City Engineer Wood
ward reported that the assessed valu-s
alton of the property affected was not
high enough to permit legally of a
more expensive pavement
The board awarded the contract for
the keeping in repair of bituminous
pavements on Market Folsom, Front
and California streets and Golden Gate
avenue until June 80 to the City Street
Improvement Company for s5997. Two
other awards to repair bituminous
pavements in various parts of the city
were postponed until next Wednesday.

behalf of petition of property owners
that Fulton street between Forty-sev-
enth and Forty ninth avenues, between

Thirty-second avenues be repaved
The board will meet the property own
ers next Monday at p. m. at Spreckels

report on the petition of the Crocker
estate that California street between
Mason and Jones be repaved.

street was ordered vacated and torn
down on the report of a building in
spector that it is likely to fall in at
any moment.
The petition of Mrs. Muirhead that
she be permitted to build store at
Larkin street in the Mechanics Pa
vilion was denied. A similar petition
filed by the Mechanics Institute was
denied some time ago. The store
would form part of what is now used
as an exit and stairway and the board
intends to order the exit reopened for
the purpose for which it was originally
intended.
Deputy Donovan was directed to re-
port on the application of the San
Francisco Gas Company TO install eight
poles in different parts of the city.
Designs of the poles must be submitted
before any permit will be granted.
The board granted w. c. Pidge. an
assistant engineer, six months
leave of absence.
A representative of machine COM
pany urged the board to postpone the
time for the receiving of bids for boil
ers for the oil ant in the Hall of JUS
tice. Ie said the time was too short
to permit of Eastern concerns filing
bids, which would be at least 20 per
cent less than for boilers of local pro-
duction. The board refused to change
the time for receiving bids. as it de-
sires to favor home manufacture
whenever possible.

a consultation with Park Commits
sioner Spreckels tomorrow at I
o'clock in the Mayors Office. The OBJ
ject of the conference is to take steps

way on the beach parallel with the
Great Highway. The Park Commits
sioners are willing to pay 25 cents per
cubic yard to help pay the expense of
removing the rock instead of having 1T
dumped into the ocean. Bids have
been received for blasting and the con-
tract will be awarded next week.
Commissioner Aigeltinger said the
$4,000 available from the funds for re-
pairs to bituminous pavements made
