TELLS OF GREAT CHANGE
Sbarboro referred TO the civic strug-
! giles of the neighborhood to wrest from
/ the ugly hillsides the semb1ance of a
! city, Of how streets were constructed
I over rock and sand. Of how the vigi-
| lance committee ended riot and blood
/ shed in the highways Of early San
/ Francisco. He continued:
What q change has taken place
since then. North beach helps to main
tain four prosperous banking fnstitu-
4 tfons. which are q credit to the Italians
to the city and to the state.
But. although much has been ac-
! complished, the improvements yet to be
( made al North beach will be of still
| greater Importance than those already
! existing. We have been working for
some time to build a tunnel which will
when completed connect Stockton street
from Market to the foot of that street
at North beach. That work, thanks to
! the energy Of the people of North
/ beach, the assistance of our mayor the
board of supervisors and the co-opera-
tion of Doctor Law and others, will
soon be an accomplished fact, and then
1 We viii have all the ferry boats coming
/ from Marin county. bringing their pas
/ sengers to ma gnificent new ferry
depot at North beach, from where the
/ streetcars Will land them to any part OF
| the city in very short time.
HILL PARK REQUIRED
One of the improv ements we mos
urgently require is the park on Tele-
! graph hill The good ladies of the Cal
ifornia club. and other enterprisins
citizens, have been urging the munici-
pality for some time to do this work
! While it has so far failed. we are con
/ fident that our city fathers, who hav.
/ seen the procession of the Thanksgiv.
I ing carnival and the large population
! along the streets of the North beacf
/ section, VIII not fail, in the near fu
ture. to accord US this important cit,
/ Improvement
Why, gentlemen. the city Of Chi
cago would give s10.o00,000 If It hac
! such a beautiful hill as our Telegraph
hill, whence could be obtained such
magnificent view as we have.
What we need to beautify and i'm
prove North beach is just such an as
sociation as we have here today, gov
erned by active and enterprising men
With such efficient persons at worl
North beach will soon be what natur,
has intended it to be, one of the rich
est and most beautiful sections of Sal
Francisco.
