PREPARE To ENTER
NEW QUARTERS.
General Macarthur, With
Pacific Division, to Move
to 244O Pacific Avenue

General Macarthur, commander Of
the Pacific Division, and his staff are
now preparing to move into their new
quarters in the l. B. Owens residence,
2440 Pacific avenue, corner of Steiner
street Previous to the fire the divi-
sion headquarters were located in the
top story of the Grant building, corner
of Tenth and Market streets. Since
the fire they have been temporarily
located in a frame barracks just at
the entrance to the post near Green
wich street. These have temporarily
filled the needed want up to the pres
ent time, but the Government has re-
quested General Macarthur to take
offices nearer in town. General Mac
Arthur, after looking over dozens of
places. finally selected the Owens home
as being the best adapted to the SER
vices required. The new offices are
to be very handsomely fitted up In
speaking of the Owens house, General
Macarthur said:
Il should like to have place little
nearer downtown, but this place was
the most available. 1t is near the car
line and is especially adapted to our
needs. 1t really will require no altera-
tions. We will have every convenience
had in our former offices in the Grant
building. We hope to be there by
October 1. We have taken a lease for
one year"
The troops from the maneuvers at
American Lake will begin arriving
here next Monday. The first to leave
the north will be the Twenty second
Infantry, who will leave Tacoma on
Saturday morning by special train for
here, to return to the different posts
about the bay. They will be followed
by the Twentieth Infantry, who re-
turn to the Preside of Monterey.
The Fourteenth Cavalry, the three
battalions of field artillery and the two
companies of engineers will follow
soon after. General Funston and his
aids, Lieutenant B. j. Mitchell and E.
C. Long, will be the last to leave the
camp and will not arrive here before
the middle of next week.
Major Carroll A Devol, head of the
transport service here, says the trans
port Thomas, which arrived at Homo
lulu yesterday with apparatus on board
to help relieve the Sheridan in getting
off the rocks where she lies stranded
near that port, may stay in that vicin-
ity for some time.
Captain Evan H. Humphrey. in COM
mand of the Thomas, has orders to
of the exact situation of the Sheridan
and If his services are deemed neces-
sary for her relief he will be ordered
to stand by. Otherwise all the big
amount of salvage saving apparatus
will be placed on barges and taken to
the assistance of the Sheridan.

DUPONT STREET IS
To BE W|DENED.
Works Board Recommends
Winding Road for Easy
Access to Mob Hill

The Board of Public Works yester-
day approved the recommendation of
City Engineer Woodward that Dupont
street be widened from Bush street to
Montgomery avenue and adopted the
plans for the proposed winding road in
the block bounded by Dupont, stockton,
Pine and California in order to obtain
easy access to Mob Hill.
The plans contemplate the widening
of Dupont street by thirty feet, the land
for the purpose to be taken from the
westerly side. The street will then be
of uniform width with Grant avenue.
The cost of the widening of Dupont
street and the building of the winding
road is estimated at $1,150.0OO, of
which sS00.000 is for the purchase of
the thirtyfoot strip of land. 5000. 600
for the grading. paving and sewering
of the street and 100000 for fnciden-
tails The board ordered a communi-
cation sent to the Supervisors recon-
mending that the improvement be car
ried out.
The Board of Works granted the
Southern Pacific Company permission
to place steel columns and piers along
the curb line of Army street to sup
port the elevated construction of the
Bay Shore cutoff line The request
for the same privilege in the middle
of Army street was denied
The petition of the Laborers' Protec-
tive Union that the wages of laborers
in the city's employ be raised so cents
per day was referred to the Board of
Supervisors with the recommendation
that the sum of s2S.9o1 be appropriated
to pay the increased wages.
Bids for the paving with asphalt and
the sewering of Market street from
East to Second and from Twelfth street
to Valencia were opened but as the va
rious items cannot be calculated for
some time, the award of contract
was postponed until the next
meeting. From the face of the
bids the City Street Improve
ment Company, of which j. w. McDon-
aid Jr. is president. is the lowest bid
der on the paving of Market street
from East to Second. at a price an
proximating $4,000, being well within
the estimate of 100000
A discussion was held as to the pro-
per kind of pavement for Market
street. The Draymens Association fav-
ored the paving of the entire street
with basalt blocks, but as the board did
not approve of the PLAN the as
sociation requested that the block be-
tween First and Second be so paved on
account of its steep grade. No action
was taken by the board
