The San Francisco call., 1907-02-04

President Duffey of the Board of
Public Works remembered the Sabbath
day yesterday day upon which the
courts would issue no fnjunctfons and,
fearless of any less lawful thwartfng of
his plan, proceeded to tear up the
Santa Fe's so-ca1Ied debris track on
Spear street, from Folsom to Market.
Wearing a pair of hip boots and an
air of unswervable purpose, the head
of the Works Board was on the ground
before daylight and by o'clock 54
of the 100 men he had summoned for
work from the debris gang" had re-
ported for duty. Their first move was
to break all switches by which the
railroad might have run in cars to in
terfere with the plan of demolition.
Then 1t was found that the laboring
crew knowing nothing of track laying,
was not armed with the proper tools.
Under Duffey's authority a raid was
made upon a Southern Pacific toolchest
at Battery and Sacramento streets and
in short order picks, crowbars and
spike drawers were working swiftly on
the solidly laid track.
The only show of interference was in
the appearance of three or four un-
known persons who represented them
selves to be agents of Duffey's friends.
who begged that the work be sus-
pended for few hours until certain
necessary cars" could be run in.
Duffey gleefuily told them that they
were too late, as the switches were
out
The job was not an easy. one. The
track, originally a convenience for re-
moving debris. had first been laid with
old rails on the surface of the street.
Quietly, and in sections, the Santa Fe
The San Francisco call., 1907-02-04

had replaced the temporary track with
big sIeepers underground supporting
seventy-pound, nine-inch Belgian rails,
between which the cobble paving of
the street was firmly replaced. The cob
bles We're torn up by Duffey's gang and
the rails ripped out and cast aside.
Duffey says he will begin repaving the
street this morning and give the rail-
road company forty-eight hours in
which to haul away It's iron, in default
of which the rails will be carted to the
corporation yard until the. BILL which
Duffey intends to present to the Santa
Fe, is paid And the Sunday job. he
says, will cost somewhere between
$1,000 and $500
Duffey eyed the evidences of per-
manency of the tracks construction
with the air of one satisfied that he had
discovered a conspiracy and proved it.
THAT track was put in to stay he
said, but they can't steal any streets
in this town while / am president of
the Board of Works.
"A track running up Spear street to
Market would be worth a million dol

DAMAGE TO C|TY's
PARKS $4,000

Park superintendent McLaren said
yesterday that it would require $175,000
to repair the damage done to the parks
of the city by the refugees, and that it
would take two years to get the
grounds back into their former condi-
tion. Tt is probable that an effort will
be made to get the Relief Corporation
to make good at least a portion of the
damage thus done to public property.
All the refugees have been removed
from Golden Gate Park, with the ex-
ception of few not far from the speed
way, who are not interfering with
pleasure seekers. Every possible eff
fort is being made to get the refugees
in Jefferson and Hamilton squares to
remove to other cottages, as the dona-
tions of those pieces of ground were
made with the provision that they be
used for pleasure only, and there is
danger that the grounds may be for
feited if people are allowed to remain
long on them.
Men are at work now plowing and
reseeding places in Golden Gate Park
from which the refugees have moved,
but it is a big job to repair the damage
that has been done" said McLaren.
Not only has the grass been killed. but
trees have been damaged by the refu-
gees, and it will require two years to

conditions. 1t will require at least
$4,000 TO repair the damage done to
the parks by the refugees, in addition
to the injury done by the earthquake
Already there has been spent in re-
pairing the building at the children's
playground and the Park Emergency
Hospital about 100000, and the work is
nearly completed. The repairs I. the
bandstand will be completed some time
this month. The roof and walls of the
museum have been repaired. but it will
require several weeks before the build
ing will be ready to receive the public.
Owing to a lack of park funds this
year there will be no improvements of
Importance made in Golden Gate Park.
However. If the Relief Corporation
should finally agree to make good some
of the damage done to the parks by
the refugees, the commission may find
it possible to make few needed inn
provements in the grounds. 1t already
has been suggested to the Relief Cor

BLAZE THREATENS PROPERTY
IN NEW RETAIL DISTRICT

A brisk blaze which started in the
popcorn factory of Maguin & Co. of
1885 Eddy street caused some little
excitement at about 1885 o'clock yes
terday morning. Two alarms were
rung in from the box at the corner of
Fillmore and Eddy streets, as it was
feared the blaze would spread. Prompt
action on the part of the Fire Depart
ment resulted in comparatively little
damage. The premises of 1885 and
1897, owned by T. Hargan, were badly
scorched and the store Of the S. P.
Cooper hat works at 1889 was smoked
up and burned slightly.
The blaze was started by an oil
stove which was placed too close to
the ceiling of the popcorn establish
ment and ignitad the burlap with which
the walls were covered. The loss will
not exceed $4,000.
