and will be visible in detail to passengers
on ships entering the Golden Gate.
The site of the exposition takes every
advantage of the combination of
harbor and hills that gives San Francisco
its chief charm. The main features
of the exposition trill be located
at Harbor View, on San Francisco bay
midway between the ferry building
and the Golden Gate, and the permanent
buildings to remain after tbe exposition
is over will be erected in the
west end of Golden Gate park, which
fronts on the Pacific ocean. These
sites and intermediate locations will be
nnw>tp/l hv a mnrine boulevard that
sweeps from Harbor View through the
Presidio to'the Golden Gate and then
turns south to Golden Gate park. A
trackless trolley will take visitors otct
this magnificent scenic boulevard from
Harbor View through the military reservation
at the Presidio, where the government
is planning a wonderful military
display, to Golden Gate park, and
one admission will include entrance to
both features. The site expresses the
maritime character of the great celebration.
In harmony with the exposi"
tion San Francisco itself will be an
exposition city in 1015. The parks
and water front of the city will be improved
at an expenditure of millions
of dollars, and the ferry building, the
main entrance to San Francisco, wil>
be adorned with a grand court of honor.
Market street and Van Ness avenue,
the two main thoroughfares of
San Francisco, each running from the
bay and meeting iD a V in the heart
of the city, will be decorated with
