EXPERTS PROPOSE GENERAL
BOND ISSUE
Better Streets Needed In San Ber-

That Immediate Action
Be Taken

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, April 19.-The
report of the committee of experts of the
committee of thirty on the proposed
issue for street improvements will be
presented to the city council by Chair
man ]. N. Baylis tomorrow night.
The plan for the bond issue has been
materially changed from the first out
line made nearly year ago.
1t is now proposed to first improve
by a general bond issue, only the four
or five main inlets to the city. from the
usiness center to the city limits, to
conect with the county system of roads.
The new plan Is quite generally ap-
proved by the people of the city and 1t
is believed such a bond issue will carry
without opposition.
The city is feeling the need of better
streets and it is believed this will be a
notable step in that direction. 1t is
proposed to then follow this step up
with other movements for improving
other of the main streets and eventually
TO give the city as fine a system of
streets as can be found in any Califo-
mia municipality.
The committee which has been going
over and revising the plans after they
had been made by the city engineer is
composed of e. H. Kellogg, F. t. Perris
and ]. S. Bright.
