DE YOUNG SAYS BURNHAM
PLANS ARE RIDICULOUS. |
The Downtown Property Owners AS
ISOLATION has taken radical ground
against the Burnham plans for rebuild
ing San Francisco along the lines of
beauty, basing its opposition upon the
broad ground that to carry out the
plans will involve the waste of too
much valuable realty. At a recent
meeting of the Association, NJ. H. De !
Young of the San Francisco Chronicle
voiced this opposition openly.
"A portion of the Burnham plans
especially those relating to the bust :
ness district, are ridiculous and abso-
utely out of the question: said he. a
We want the Supervisors to get to h
work without delay and give us details
'egarding the. plans to rebuild the
burned section of the city. We have 4
waited long enough in my estimation
md / think we are entitled to some 4
Il notice that in the Burnham plans
t is suggested that Geary street be q
videned. This is absolutely unneces-
airy and to my way of thinking nearly
riminal. We all know that Geary J
treet is wide enough for commercial
Use at the present time. It is a bust
less street and destined to remain Z
UGH. We must do our best to defeat
his measure at all events, for such a
proceeding would be ruinous to many 3
f US and of benefit to none. q
Il am not prepared to go further in 2
0 details regarding other changes sug- m
ested in the Durham plans but I n
viii say that as whole many of the a
communications are ridiculous to q
usiness men. They may look all right B
n paper to those men who simply sit 4
own and work on theory, but to us
tactical business men they are out of
he question and not at all what we n
esire. u
THE plans as a whole for the bust D
ess district would mean the loss of too &
much land to suit most of u.s. We n
ave lost enough already by fire and
arthquake and I for one am not in n
avor of parting with any more of my 4
oldings. We must take action at
nce.' III
Immediately following the delivery of &
he De Young pronouncement that n
entleman offered a resolution con- h
the Burnham plans which was q
arried unanimously. -
Moreover. this opposition to the
'urnham plans is developing in circles 1
utsidc the Downtown Association. I
wen those who hold that the plans
re pretty in theory admit that their
resent application is impossible. /
