Much for "Permit" to Make
improvements.
TWENTY MILES OF WALKS

TESTED BY AUTHORITIES.

For the privilege OF laying cement
sidewalks in Highland park. Kimball
& Richards, owners OF the tract. will
pay to the city ss,575. This is in ad-
dition to and exclusive OF the cost of
the materials and the actual work CT
laying the mixture of cement, sand
and gravel in position. It is the cost
of taking out the permit from the
city. In other words 1t is the cost Of
laying the sidewalks on q city grade
and according to specifications urawn
up by the city engineer.
Kimball & Richards are to all in
tents and purposes installing public
improvement on their property. 1t Is
an improvement that the purchasers
OF the lots would have to pay for IN
a few years out Of their own pockets
were IL not that the owners Of the
tract deem it more advantageous to
place the lots on the market in an I'M
proved condition. The nearly four
thousand dollars included in the cost
OF the permit, includes the cost of test
ing the cement used. of establishing
the grades and of inspecting the work
while 1t is in progress and after 1t is
completed, SO as TO see that it is up to
the city's specifications. All this Is no
small item when something like TWEEN
ty miles of sidewalks five feet wide
are to be laid. 1t all costs money, but
BfmbaIl & Richards believe that 1t is
good investment in enhancing the
value Of their property.
Cement Being Tested.
The first carload of cement intended
for sidewalk purposes arrived this
week, and was tested by a member Of
the city engineers force yesterday.
The tests will last some days. as the

be ascertained for various periods, dur
ing which some of the samples will
remain under water, while others will
be kept dry. II the cement in this
carload does not come up to the staud-

manufacturer.
This is the second carload Of cement

sided HAYES also was the principal
speaker at a meeting at Colma In san

the Oceanside rally, when he pleaded
guilty to the charge of being an in
surgent republican. The representative
in congress from the fifth district was
describing what he termed his personal
idea of republicanism. when partisan
shouted, You are an insurgent. 1

Hayes closed by saying that his re-
election would make it possible to do
much toward securing the Panama ex
position for the city. whereas his de-
feat, he said would weaken his in
fiuence.
J. E. White denied the statement con-
tanned in an anonymous circular letter.
in which the republican candidate for
the assembly from the thirtyninth was
labeled a prohibitionist. The letter, he
said, was signed by the Personal Lib
erty league" and was scattered broad
cast in the district for the purpose Of
injuring his candidacy. White de-
clared that he was not a prohibitionist
and that the letter was absolutely false
in every particular. He added that he
