ENTIRE HILL MAY BE
REDUCED TO GRADE
Property owners Meet and Accept
Proposition Which viii Place
Cost of Operation at
About 100000
Lspeclal 10 The Herald.l

SAN PEDRO, March AT a meet
ing of the property owners on Mob
hill, held last evening in Mallgren's
hall, a proposition to grade down the
entire hill was considered and accepted
by those present.
Mr.. Crowley, representing Robert
Scherer &c Co., agreed to remove the
dirt from the property for IA cents a
yard. Houses and buildings will be re-
moved for a cost of not to exceed
$1,000 AS there are approximately
/. 200. 900 yards in the hill, the total cost
of the Improvement, including the re-
moval of all buildings, will be about
5000, 900.
About twenty of the property holders
signed up last evening, and it is now
believed that practically all will come
in on the proposition and that the i'm
provement will be made.
Should the scheme be successful six
teen level blocks will be added to the
business section north of Fourth street,
the city having grown in the last few
years to such an extent that all the
level land has been built upon.
Plenty of capital is said to be be-
hind the movement, arrangements hav-
ing been made to carry the several lot
holders for three years at Z per cent
interest, if necessary.
Mr.. Crowley has use for the dirt he
will get, having sold most of 1t al
ready. The excavations will be made
on a large scale, and two big steam
shovels, each lifting nearly three cubic
yards of dirt at a time, will be en-
ployed
This improvement has been talked of
many times, but the project never was
launched. Many believe it will be put
through now.

CITY TRUSTEES DO LITTLE
OUTSIDE OF ROUTINE WORK

SAN PEDRO, March with only
eight days intervening before the vote
on the exclusion of the northern portion
of this city the city trustees at their
meeting this afternoon showed a ten
dency to wait for the outcome of the
election before taking up important
measures on which they were called to
decide today.
They did pass an ordinance, however,
abandoning the proceedings started for
the widening of Seventh street, and
again referred the regarding project of
First street back to the commissioners
for another report on the damages esti-
mated.
City Engineer Frank Whitman made
a report on the question of caring for
the storm water which threatens the
city each year after heavy rains. In
his opinion it will be better to pave a
number of streets than to build a storm
drain. The total project would cost the
property holders about $4,000.
The tax collector reported having col
lected S34.32 in taxes from February 8
to February 20; the street superinter-
dent said he had spent S312.S5 during
February, while the recorder was $3.50
to the good after the fines in the police
court had been paid.
