Small Parks and Squares.
"The plan for providing small parks
and squares as Fairgrounds for the chill.
iren, and breathing places for the com.
should be extended so that
every part of the city would have pub
lie grounds of this kind for the meet
ING and recreation place of the people
)t every neighborhood. AS the city
grows these win become more and more
necessary, and Mt the same time harder
and harder to get For these the pub
licly-owned lands within the city and
county could wei provide,
Road and Road Building.
"The roads of the city and county
are of the greatest Importance, The en-
tire public is interested in them, the
best methods of road building should
be employed, and roads once built
should be kept constantly in repair, If
this is done it will not be necessary to
rebuild roads so often, and not only dc
they cost less in the long run, but they
will serve their purpose great dea
better. / intend to devote great dea
of my time and attention to the mat
ter of road construction and also per
manent pavement in the town district
1t shall be one of my ambitions to Civ,
the city and county as fine a system
of well kept roads at it is possible t
do with the money available.
The Belt Road.
"The completion of the belt road Ell
tirely around this island is one OF tn
road developments which is most carr
estly looked for. 1t is wanted on man
grounds. 1t is not only wanted becaus
of the increasing pleasure driving
will afford, and as a tourist attraction
but because it is necessary for the d,
velopment of large portions of the il
land. 1t is very important factor fC
any complete plan of roads for the cit
and county.
The Sidewalks.
4 "Our sidewalks Mt present are in
deplorable condition. | therefore stroni
ly recommend to the board of supe
visors that they by ordinance comp
the property-owners to lay permanel
sidewalks on our city streets.
Cooperation with the Army.
"Before such an important plan
roadbuilding is undertaken, the eli
and county, through its engineering
partment, should obtain very accura
and very complete information regar
ing drays, materials TO be employee
land-ownership along the line of the pr
posed roads, and the present and +
ture needs of side roads necessary
develop the country; and very col
prehensive plan should be drawn Il
one that can be progressively follow
until completed. The city and coun
should confer with the army authoriti
on basis of this plan, and If cooper
ton is possible, a road plan should
devised which will meet both pub
and Army needs.
Gin order to carry out the part
the city and county in such a progra
the legislature should be asked to ri
the authority TO adopt in part mt lie,
the California plan of providing 4
the cost of construction. part of {
cost should be paid out of general Il
ation-bonds for this being issued, p
haps, and the remainder of the c,
should be by special tax on the prop
ty benefited. Thus this much desired /
pr0Yement, complete system Of go
roads and the belt road in particul
could be built without buTdening I
current revenues and without mere

yiding for the cost Of roads il in z,
