EVENTS OF week
AMONG THE CLUBS
Merchants Association Per-
suades Supervisors to Ap-
prove Beale Street Cut

The board of supervisors overruled
the protest of the Finley heirs to the
grading of Beale street and thus re-
moved, apparently, the last obstacle
to the consummation of this work pro-
posed by the Merchants association.
The association has proposed an
amendment to the charter, by which
the tax limit of 81 is preserved, but
special taxes may be levied for certain
specified permanent Improvements, the
money raised by this special tax to be
used for no other purpose, and If any
surplus exists it is to be reappropri-
ated for the same or similar purposes.
The Civic league proposed charter
amendment somewhat similar to that
of the Merchants association except
that it fixed the maximum tax at $3.50
and did not specify the particular pur
poses for which the extra tax should
be appropriated.

DOES GOOD WORK
North Central Association Se-
cures Many Betterments in
Business District

In January, 1899. a, number of the
largest property owners in the district
north of Market street and east of
Kearny came together and formed the
North Central Improvement associa-
ton. The purpose of the association
was to secure for this district of the
city some consideration from the board
of supervisors. Previous to that time
few improvements were made in that
section of the town.
BY persistent effort and representa-
ton before the supervisors a number of
improvement clubs from other parts of
the city were securing financial benefits
far in excess of what the members of
this association thought they were en-
titled to, considering the taxable value
of the property they represented.
So well has it succeeded that many
of the Improvement clubs of that day
have fallen by the wayside, while the
North Central continues to grow in
strength and usefulness.

provements brought about by his asso-
citation.
Among the most important of them
are the Improvement of the downtown
streets after the fire For a long time
California, Pine, Bush, Montgomery and
Sansome streets, and, in fact. all the
streets in this district We're in wretched
condition. The association, through it's
lntercession with property owners and
the supervisors, has succeeded in hav-
ing all these streets put in splendid
shape
The association has just. secured the
signatures of owners of more than
10 nave 1t graded from Market to the
bay. An assessment district will be
formed to. do this work
Ihe association purchased the sewer
bonds for Sansome street This sewer
system is now rapidly nearing COM
pletion. four months in advance of
contract time. The association main
tains an outfit that sprinkles the down
town streets without cost to the city.
The high pressure water protection
system plans were formulated mostly
by this association. Electroliers have
been Installed in Montgomery street at
the expense of the property owners
through the efforts of the association.
The high building ordinance was the
| iOSoliliHSHudIioH OIL the NORTH central
Improvement association. The legis-
lature and charter amendments permit
ting the laying of spur tracks was Sc
cured by the association.
Other projects advocated by the as
sociation are: The retention of the
ferry postoff1ce, also a postoffice near
the custom house; the construction of
tunnels under Telegraph hill at Kearny
and at Montgomery streets to give
these streets frontages on the bay; the
erection of an auditorium and auto
mobile mail service and large first class
hotel buildings for the downtown dis
trict.
The association has permanent and
commodious offices in the Kohl build

help and owns and operates a street
sprinkling plant. The officers Of the
association are: H. H. Taylor presi-

CONSOLIDATION PROJECTS
A plan is now under consideration
for consolidating the Merchants asso-
citation, the Merchants exchange, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Down
town association into one body. Very
valuable property rights would have to
be adjusted before this object can be
effected. The various organizations
have a combined strength of 2,7O0
members. The Merchants exchange
building is one very important asset
about which it is found difficult to
make arrangements.
During the last year alone the as
sociation has published $3.50 pieces
with matters of very great interest to
the city.
The association, spends annually for
current expenses about $4,000. In ad-
dition to this amount there has been
raised annually during the last three
years by private subscription between
$4,000 and $4,000 to employ experts,
inspectors, engineers, accountants, etc,
to inspect and control the expenditure
of the public moneys upon improve
ments; to see that the tax payers get
in workmanship and material what
they pay for.
F. w. Dohrmann was the first presi-
dent, and he was succeeded by Frank
Symmes. The next president was An
drew NJ Davis. The present executive
is NJ. H. Robbins Jr.
The present officers of the Merchants
association are: President, NJ. H. Rob

PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION
The greatest project foated by the
Merchants association is the holding
in San Francisco of a worlds fair to
celebrate the completion of the Panama
canal This proposition was first
brought forth by Marshall B. Hale at
one of the banquets of the Merchants
association long before any other city
dreamed of such a thing.
The proposition has grown in mag
nitude until now 1t occupies the atten-
tion of the whole country. 1t will be
to San Francisco the greatest blessing
IT has received in recent years.
INNUMERABLE IMPROVEMENTS
Space does not permit of discussion
of the great number of improvements
inaugurated through the Merchants as
sociation. All that can be done is to
refer to a few of these. Among them
are: Reform in public accounting; as

will have three magnificent buildings,
the hall of justice, the custom house
and the subtreasury building.
For many years work on the hall of
justice was delayed and less preten-
tious building was contemplated. The
association has acted like battering
ram upon this matter, with the result
that commodious space was secured
and one of the grandest structures in
the city is now rapidly nearing COM
pletion.
1t is not very often that an improve
ment association will defray the ex-
penses of sending representatives to
Washington to secure for San Fran
cisco federal appropriations for public
buildings. That is exactly what the
North Central Improvement association
has done on several occasions.
1t sent representatives to Washing
ton in 1902, 1903, 1907, 1905 and 1870
and upon each of those occasions se-
cured increased appropriations for fed
eral buildings in San Francisco. This
representative enlisted the aid of con-
gressmen interviewed the president.
entertained congressman and commit
teemen until total of S1,750.000 had
been appropriated for the new custom
house and $4,000 for the new sub
treasury.
The new custom house is rapidly
nearing completion. 1t will be equal in
magnificence to any building to be
found in the United States. It is To-
Gated in Battery street between Jack
son and Washington.
The new subtreasury building, which
is to be located at the southeast cor
ner of Pine and Sansome streets, is to
be an architectural gem.

ADDITIONAL LIGHTS
The Mission merchants met Wednes-

reported that in response to the petit
tion of the association the supervisors
agreed to install five arc lights in each
block in Mission street between Four

SUTRO HEIGHTS CLUB
The Sutro Heights Improvement club
met Sunday at the Cairns hotel and re-
viewed the work of the district. The
bond issue sewer being built in Fulton
street from Thirtieth to ty-eighth
avenue is rapidly nearing completion.
The work is being carefully inspected
by the association.
Upon the completion of this work
the McAllister street cars will run
through to the beach upon Fulton, thus
opening up this territory. The tracks
have already. been laid and the poles
erected.
Much grading and sewering is now
being done in the district. What was
formerly the sand dunes is being trans
formed into beautiful villa tracts.
