A large number of applications for space

hibit In the coining fair. This was passed
after a long discussion, and only when the
Trustees had been Informed by their agout
of the limited room at tha disposal of the
board.
A communication was read and rofurrod
to the proper committee from th« Book
binders' Protective Association asking the

SECOND- STREET CUT.
It May Once Airuin Play a Fart
in Local History.
Tlie Board of Supervisors Have Awarded the
Contract for the Xi w Bridge to the
Pacific Axle Company.
For years past the Second-streat cut has
been almost abandoned as a thoroughfare ;
the tide of population has (lowed in other
directions; building enterprise lias abso
lutely stepped, and the bridge which spans
the cut has long ceased to be anything but
a tiitilit refuge for vagrants and a source of
peril to neighboring residents.
Justllbefore the Buckley regime received
its quietus a cool proportion was made to
remove tlie bridge altogether and to sell it
to a favored bidder for about a tenth of its

value as old iron and kindling-wood. There
was just enough spirit left in the long
suffering and over-taxed residents of Kincon
Hill to r;iise a protest against being cut off
entirely from tho world.
Thesfi residents had submitted to have
their property depreciated by the making of
the cut, to which ttiey had been forced to
contribute heavily; and they had further
submitted to have a bridge built to cover the
unwelcome cut, in this case also eontrib
utini; their quota. As might naturally have
been expected, when the cut had driven
away the builders who were covering one
nf the best slt«» in the whole city with
elegant residences, and when the trade ex
pected from the l'acitl- Mall Dock went
another way, Second-street Bridge dropped
into a condition of innocuous desuetude. It
lav "in cuid obstruction."
Few even of the local residents cared to
cross it. The stairways belonlod by
tramps and rapidly rotting Into insecurity,
wereelosttd up, while blasts in the contigu
ous rock shout the structure off whatever
Serond-ilrett Bridge by A'iofiL
foundations it had. When it had renched
such a conditiou as to be unsafe for man or
beast, boardings were put up to prevent
teams from using it, and only a sort of
apology for a footpath was left. When the
pnllcoman was not around at night the
vagrants hid a high old time.
The inception uf the electric, road enter
prise produced a change iv the condition of
affairs on Kincnn Hill, tlm extent of which
cannot yet be foreseen. Tho tracks of the
road were laid in some sort of fashion
across the old bridge, and some of tho
obstacles to traffic were removed. It wa9 a
sonißwhat aggravating matter for those resi
dents who had sold out and gone away a
fnw mouths previously. They had wailed
for a change and Had grown heartsick in
the process. One of them had sold a snug
little cottage aud plat of laud for which
f 2(X)o had been paid, aud had received just
S'ioo in cold cash for the whole business.
Other uroperty in the neighborhood had
depreciated in proportion.
When the electric ro-»d came along there
was a ray of hope in the breasts of those
wiio ti tit held on till patienue had almost
ci-nsed to be a virtue. These residents are
now askiug very earnestly whether the
electric road is a reality and whether it is
true that the Omnibus Cable Company
viows it* progress with as friendly an eye as
U freely alleged.
Oue thiug is certain. The Board of Su
pervisors at a brief meeting held yesterday
afternoon awarded the contract for con
structing a steel bridue across Second
>treet at Harrison to the Pacific Axle Com
i..my. Tlie city is to pay 54:«3 3S of the
i nst and trie electric road the remainder—
that is, 82166 <«5, the tola! being StStJO. It
is a small amount, and the expense will Till
nn the city at lart-e, not on the leal resi
tli-nt-i. Nevertheless the latter liavo had
some experience in the past whicti they
would scarcely earn to repent.'
Some of them can recall the day when
John Middle ten, a prominent deah-r in real
citato aud owner of a large lot on the cor
ner of Second and Bryant streets, conceived
the idea of grading Sf-cond street for heavy
teams by cutling through Kincon Hill. He
foresaw a big business along the line from
the Pacific Mail Dack, but the vision
proved as illusory as Harry Meigus' idea of
a big boom fur North Beach when Powell
street was graded at a ruinous expense. In
both cases tho inoiiuy was spent and the in
vestors were lieher only by a large fund of
experience. The Poweil-street grade proved
uselul subsequently for street-car purposes,
but the Second-street cut of 80 feet has been
a dead loss to this day. The direct expense
i.f thn improvement was (385,0001 The
whole loss U> the city wai over a million.
There p.re signs, however, thatn portion of
popularity may be restored to Kincon Hill
and that Steoud-street bridge and Second
stieat cut may once more resound to the
nunblo of the wheels of commerce. The
fact that the Omnibus Cable Company and
tlie electric road aro working witn a per
fectly good, understanding uLthe crossing of
Meuart and Howard streets, as well as at
other points, is held to be e.videnco that the
Dew enterprise will find solid support, and
if this bn the. ease the natural beatujei of
liincon Hill, its peculiarly genial climate
and freedom from dust and gusts may revive
all tho prosperity and all the eleganco of the
silver era, when the lull was the fashionable
center of San Francisco.

WARRING- DIRECTORS.
Exciting Session of the Classifi
cation Committee.
Mrs. McPherson Deposed From the Girls' High
School and a Class Done Away With
at the Point Lobos.
, The Classification Committee of the Board
of Education held a special meeting yester
day afternoon in the office of I'resideut
Sabin at 323 Tine str.-et. There were pres
ent Directors Sabiu, Harney, Brooks, Hyde,
Ponnington and Superintendent Swett.
The meeting lasted from 4 o'clock In the j
afternoon until nearly 7 in the evening, and
was very stormy at times. ' The first propo
sition considered was the matter of the
transfer of Vice-Principal Murphy of the
Franklin Grammar to the Cogswell School.
Principal Kennedy appeared before the com
mittee and stated that if the transfer was
made he would require a teacher iv place of
Mr. Murphy.
It was stated that the object in transfer
ring Mr. Murphy to the Cogswell School is
to provide a place in the vice-principalship,
which is owing to a' teacher, who has been
away on a year's vacation and who is en
titled to a place as vice-principal. The
committee decided to lay the matter over for
consideration until the next meeting.
TUB COMMERCIAL SCHOOL.
Isidore Leszynskv also appeared in re-
Kiird to the affairs of the Commercial School.
The attendance at this school has exceeded
nil the anticipations of the board, and more
teachers ore required. Mr. Leszynsky
asked that the two substitutes who are now
employed be made permanent teachers, He
also asked that a teacher be employed in
arithmetic.
After somo discussion the subject was
continued until the committee made inves
tigation Into the necessities of the school.
The greater part of the meeting was oc
cupied in considering the case of Mrs. Me-
Phrrson, teacher of classics in the Girls'
High, School. On her case the committee
was divided, and the discussion at limes
assumed a huhly personal tone.
The matter was brought up by Director
Brooks' statement that he had had a conver
sation with Mrs. Kineaid. principal of the
Girls' High School, and that she had In
formed him she could dispense with the
services of Mrs. McPberson as teacher of
classics, if it were a question of economy.
A. BTOUM 18 PRECIPITATED.
. On hearing this statement Director Sabin
moved that the services of -Mrs. McPherson
be discontinued hereafter at the Girls' High
School, and that she report at the new Oily
Hull to the Secretary of the board for duty.
Director Hanaro objected to the motion
very strenuously, because it would result in
depriving Mrs. MiiVrson, not only of her
position, but also of her sa'ary.
On hearing tnis opposition of Director
Ilarney, President Sabin asked: "Then
yon are not in favor of economy, Mr.
Haraey?"
Director Ilarney insisted that he is in
favor »f economy first, last and all the
time, but that he was not in favor of oust
ing a well-tried teacher from the depart
ment in such a manner.
Superintendent Swutt then took up the
cudgels in defense of Mr*. McPher»on and
declares she Is one of the most competent
and efficient . teachers in the department.
"Yon cannot railroad this lady out of the de
partment," ho remarked.
"Who's trying to railroad anybody?" de
manded Director Brooks. ■
" 'Tis i«l»e." put In Director Hyde.
TIIK' STORM POINT REACHED.
Tne meeting at this point became very
stormy, four or five of the Directors speak
ing at once. It became a case of Directors
Hi Bin. Brooks and Hyde against Mrs. Ife-
Pherson, pitted against Director Harney and
Superintendent Swett in her lavor.
Superintendent S'.vett stated that he had
been informed that there would be a va
cancy in the Boys' High School, as Principal
Morton needed another teacher. • •
Director Brooks dented that such was the
casi\ and claimed that there wi.uld be no
vacancy at the Boys' High School. . He sai.i
something about Mrs. Mcl'hcrsou's inooni
petency t#fill a position there.' .-:■'- .:-■ '
Superintendent Swett stood up energeti
cally In defense ol the lady, mid said that
she is as competent as any teacher in the
department. ; " -■■■--■ ■■..: -: •• . ■ . '
' Director Hartley In the interest of peace
urged that if it were in the interest of econ
omy that Mrs. Mcl'hersou be taken from
the Girls' Ilish school, she should be trans
ferred to some grammar class where 6he
could receive some salary. Ho moved as an
amendment that Mrs. MoPherson be trans
ferred to a grammar class, and that as soon
v a vacancy takes place iv the High School
she be selected to fill the place.
The motion of Director Harjiey was unan
imously adopted.
roiNT i.obos school
The committee next considered a subject
which will be of Interest to the Point J»bos
district. The Chairman of the Classifica
tion Committee called on Saturday at the
school and informed the principal that she
would have to dispense with the services of
the teacher in her first class, which com
prises the eighth, seventh and sixth praties,
there being only three classes in the school.
The reason the Chairman nave was that
the Ht'.endance was not sufficient. There
were only twenty-five pupils in the class in
regular attendance.
The news of this step was soon known
to the Point Lobos district, and protests
were sent in to the board against the pro
posed chanefi.
Director Woodward investigated the mat
ter, ai..l as a result sent a communication
to the Classification Committee in which he
opposed the contemplated step. In bis com
munication he said that as a member of the
Board of Education he protested against
the doing away with one class of the three
at present at the Point hobos or Sutro
School, maintaining that many reasons
could li ■ urged to allow it to remain, and
none to take it away.
NO ECOXOMT IN THIS.
"I am in favor of economy," he said,
"and have hlwhvs so expressed myself, and
am glad that the board lias finally come to
my views. Hut there is no economy iv de-
Driving ctii!dreu of their education, or com
pelling them to walk several miles to city
schools."
The abolishment of the highest class In
the school means that the uupils hereafter
must walk to the city. The nearest gram
mar school is the Hamilton, on Geary and
Scott streets. Some of tlie pupils in the
Sutro School live near the Cliif House, and
if the change is persisted in they will be
compelled to walk every day to Geary and
Scott streets if they d«siro to attend school.
Notwithstanding the protest of Director
H ii...il - .v;i! (I. tlie roimuiUee decided to report
in favor nf abolishing the highest class in
the Nitro School.
