April is. nearly two. score of improve
ment clubs, collectively representing
interests in practically all parts of San
Francisco met and organized an asso-
citation having for its purpose the tun-
neling Of the Twin peaks, which tower
500 feet high above the city base OF
sea level. at a cost of something like
SleOO,000. The estimate is that made
by A. G. Dockweiler An argument
made IN favor OF the tunnel was that
OF bringing comparatively remote Sec
lions Of san Francisco into close touch
with the business center would be a
strong 1nducement to move people back
from outside cities and towns to this
city. The size. of the project AMI the
allied projects: of the same sort that
were under consideration. in the last
month bring San Francisco into the
spotlight for the suggestion OF large
schemes. The. proposed tunnel through
10 North BEACH falls into the same
category. a permanent organization,
