WIDE THOR0UGHFhREs
ARE PLANNED FOR
n THE CITY Of ROSES
Property Owners Take Steps to
Further Scheme Of
Trustees.
Many Agree to Give Up Ten
Feet Of Frontage to
the Town.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

SANTA ROSA, May 24.-This city
is also being bothered by the street
question. There has always been
desire 10 straighten Fourth street, the
principal thoroughfare of the busi-
ness section of the city, but the cost
has stood in the way Now that all
the buildings have been removed from
both sides of the street, the result of
the quake, it is being urged that the
time has arrived 10 make the neces-
sary corrections. Fifth street has al
ways been too narrow for business
thoroughfare and the property owners
are setting all temporary buildings
back ten feet on each side SO as 10
allow for the widening of the street
by the Council at a very slight cost
to the city. The directors of the Ma
sonic Temple, which was destroyed.
have voted to give ten feet of their
property on Fourth street for the wild
ening of that street if adjoining prop
erty holders will do likewise. There
are three others who will no doubt
do likewise now that the movement is
well under way.
All of the fraternal orders have been
having hard time finding meeting
places since the earthquake and fire.
Some have met at private homes, others
in the churches and some in the school
houses. The first building completed
in the city will be a corrugated iron
structure with two commodious halls
on the second floor. These have al
ready been secured for almost every
night by the fraternities.
The public library. which was badly
damaged in the shake. has been rear
ranged in the basement and opened to
the public. The st. Rose Hotel has
reopened in a large tent and is doing
a good business these days. The Nov
city Theater is seeking location and
will open shortly in large tent pend
ing the construction of new quarters
for the show people.
The first permanent building II ret
well under way is a two-stofy brick
owned by c. c.. Donovan, the we'll
known hop buyer, located AT Fourth
and Washington. A large two-story
brick is under way at Fifth and Men,
docino streets and will probably be the
first business block completed in the
upper part of town.
The local banks have been doing a
good business under a limited agree
ment for a week past and find that
there is more money coming in than
is going out.
