It is now decided that the old lines , of the city will not be followed, but ! that instead new thoroughfares will be traced, ail streets made wider than formerly, and a uniform style of architecture adopted. For two years Daniel Burnham, an architect, had been agitating for a city beautiful. He had rallied many business men to his support, but his plans were abandoned by the city authorities only two months ago as beyond all reason in cost. Now, tlie twin disaster of earthquake and fire has made possible the accomplishment of Burnham's dream, which it had been admitted by every one j would transform San Francisco into the most beautiful city in (he world. Work will begin "at once in pushing Burnham's ideas (o complete development, and all the municipal officials are enthusiastic over the outlook. Mayor Schniitz expressed his delight with the plan for the new San Francisco. "The whole city will be remodeled," said Mayor Schmitz. "We will start work right at the water front. Even the ferry house, which survived the fire, will be torn down and replaced E, SHOWING DAMAGE DONE BY QUAKE. by a magnificent structure on the Burnliam designs. In the water front section alone we will spend $25,000,000. New wharves and depot will be built, and market street from end to end CORNER OF FIRST. will offer two unbroken lines of skyscrapers. Throughout the city improvement will be carried out exactly as Mr. Burnham has advocated for two years. "We will have a great boulevard and terrace at Twin Peaks, and the several new parks and other beauty spots conceived by the architect now will be constructed. The changes will cost tens of millions, but the result will be that San Francisco will stand as the most beautiful of all cities. I predict that there will be nothing to compare to the new city in beauty and utility. We were too cramped in our business quarters. Now we are going to have plenty of elbow-room, and, besides, we will have a city that will delight the eye. All the old ugliness has gone forever. "The new San Francisco will be better than the old, as was the case in Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Galveston and Baltimore, but on a much larger scale. Thirty days will see 50,000 men at work in the burned district." The delivery of telegraphic messages to persons in San Francisco was an impossibility. The messenger service of both the big companies was paral yzed. I Boer* In Mexico. The Boer colony, established in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, two years ago, is doing well.
