IRATE PARENTS DEMAND
BETTER sCHGbLHOUsEs
Residents of Excelsior Tract
Appeal to the Board of
Education

Indignant at the failure of the board

IL years has turned a deaf ear to all
demands from the district
1t appears from the statement of the
club there are more than 500 children
to be schooled and accommodations
exist for but two-thirds OF this number.

Of the crudest sort and without any
sewer connections. The condition OF
the schools is considered grave by the
parents and an epidemic Is feared IL
the sanitary equipment is not at
tended TO.
The failure of the directors of the
board of education to recognize numer-
Gus petitions has led the officials OF
the improvement association to issue
an ultimatum. In their statement sent
TO the board OF education the first
of last month, but from which they
have as yet received no word, they
state in part:
The time is at hand when the resi-
dents of the Excelsior homestead dis

municipal authorities regarding the
schooling of their children II sub

AUTOMOBILE DEALERS
PLAN FOR TWO EVENTS
Hill Climb and Endurance
Run Programmed by
Officers
ByR r. r. I'Hon1r1edieu

The automobile dealers association
of California has two motor events un-
der considerations hill climbing con-
test and run into Yosemite valley.
The first event has been scheduled for
the Hill in the Preside. but this selec-
tion, has developed much opposition.
II is contended that 1t affords too
easy task. w. NJ Klinger of the
Fireman's Fund insurance company,
who has offered cup for the contest,
said yesterday:
The Preside hill will hardly prove satisfac-
tory There are many hills within so miles of
the the city that would provide much harder test.
The only thing that can be said in favor of the
Presidio hill is that II would enable the general
public to witness the event. But hill climbing
those who are likely to be automobilists. II the
contest were to take place in the Preside it
have to be patroled to keep it clear. Undoubted-
~ 1t would be better to select another place.
The Yosemite valley trip would be
one of the best tests that could be
given car, but instead of a four day
event 1t should be run In two, or
else the cars. when they are put in
the garage at Stockton, should be put
under a guard and watched. The run
should not be a picnic affair, but a
hard test of the cars.
President ]. w. Leavitt is on the
road investigating conditions, and on
his return will report to the associa-
tion. 1t is probable that the run will
be held. for several of the members
are enthusiastic over the proposition.

OLYMPIANS MAY TAKE
LITTLE PALACE HOTEL
Club Directors Have Under
Consideration Five Year
Lease Proposal

The directors Of the Olympic club in
casting about for a plan which will
give The greatest benefit to the mem
bers have finally hit upon one which is
expected TO prove of great benefit TO
the big athletic organization. The club
officials have under consideration the
leasing Of the Little Palace hotel for

that before the lease expires the club

ming pool which will be thrown open
10 the members within few days.
This proximity would benefit both es-
adjustments, as the members could
move from one 10 the other without
loss Of time.
The Palace could be converted readily
TO the uses OF the club with but little
expense. The great dining room would
remain unchanged. while the present
grill could be converted into a billiard
room. The social life of the club would
be given marked impetus. as all facili-
ties are present for the entertainment
moves gradually down town the cluE-
house would begin TO take on the ap-
pearance II presented before the FIRE.
A large source Of income would come
from the living rooms, OF which there
are 46 in the Palace and the annex,
which could be rented to the members.
There is always a long waiting list for
rooms and they can be rented at a
profit by the club The club is paying
quarters in Eddy street. but these are
cramped when compared with the ac-
commOdatiOns which would be avail
able at the Palace. The rent of the
latter place is $500 a month, and
the club inanciers have figured that
they could pay this increase and still
make money for the organization.
The Bohemian. Pacific Union and the
University clubs all figured on leasing
the Palace. but each in turn abandoned
the project The chief reason was that
the building is within the fire limits
and there is a possibility that it might
be condemned by the authorities. The
Olympians believe that they can get
assurance that they will not be- dis
turbed, which would influence them IN
their actions. At present the building

around a good cal in his sleep. so he
kicked of the blankets that the brick
