report of the committee which had been appointed at the public meeting held on ou thursday last consisting of professors park and morgan and miss mary cook to draw up a plan upon which the schools could be graded was read and unanimously id adopted opted and so faias faras fai fal as practicable 1 will be put into immediate opera tion we like the plan recommended very much for ic it promises to be thorough and it is thoroughness and I 1 system that we need in our schools the time has passed for the slipshod superficial style of instruction to be followed any longer la in this city we need as good schools here as can be organized in any city in the land and the pabs prospect act is very favorable favori we think that we ure shall have I 1 them very satisfactory progress has been made during the past few years in the cause of education the desire for learning is daily becoming more wide spread and every well trained pupil who goes from ou our schools id a missionary to strengthen streng ther and build up dp this cail cause se the sc scarcity a rocity of funds has been one of the principal drawbacks to edu eddi i cation in the territory for fon despite the desire and anxiety of the people to td give their children a good schooling man many y have not had the means to support institutions of learning of a high order still we think the work woh that h has been done in this direction under the circumstances deserves commendation every year that passes places our schools on a better footing in this respect and in viewing the future there is every reason tofeek to feel gratified at the prospects for education which the children have before them the services of miss mary and miss ida cook whose reputation as teachers stands deservedly high have been secured by chancellor wells veils for the university ver ven sity these ladie the teachers already associated with professor park will make the corps of instructors for that institution a strong one under ulder a such C management the graded schools will 1 we feel assured be very emmi effi efficient clent and d popular FROM erom J C berrill merrill gob gos san ban francisco market report we glean the statement that the rocky mountain coal cosi iron co of wyoming territory is now producing dally daily from to tons of semi bituminous coal goal of superior bior quality and there has beed beeri shipped of this coal to california and nevada jan let iet tons and in the previous ioui six months 18 tons over I 1 one balf halo of which has gone to califor nia the report adds that it is very generally on the central pacific railroad the coal delivered in san francisco sells at 1325 1325 5 per ton of 2240 pounds from this it will be seen that the rocky mountain coal iron co is pushing its coal into the market in an e enterprising nt e r pricing manner and that it finds theorice the price at which it sells its coal remunerative is evident from the quantity sold and the apparent inex increase ease esse of tons delivered del iverd since jannary first over those sold during the same space of time previously here is d a strong argument in favor of the speedy completion of the

commend the sagacity M aud and foresight of the founder who while it was waa yet a desert perceived the importance that this city would y yet set et posses possess sand and laid his plans accordingly it is called a beautiful city now but if the original design of occupying lots and building upon them had bad been ad hered to it would have made one ono of the most beautiful cities in the world the departure from froen the rule which was established in the beginning that no building should stand any nearer the front line odthe of the lot thant twenty feet has fias on n east t temple and other streets contiguous thereto been allowed because in the opinion of many the ne nf business demanded that the stores should be built to the inner edge of holide walk we Ji elleve per permission ism w was sought and granted by the city council to those who in the commencement V innovation and of course no fault is to be found with the arran arrangement gemell t but there are other othen oth af innovations being made on these streets to which we think the attention iou iod of bf the thi e city kathers fathers should be lie called if they the would pres preserve erve the beauty and original width of our streets and sidewalks side walks we refer to the practice philph extensively prevails pre ore valls vails of nar narrowing rowin g the sidewalks side bide nv walks alks from tile tiie 0 original ra width of twenty feet to about sixteen feet and occupying the remainder articles of dize etc i 11 discomfort ans aus and marring tlona tiona of the space devoted to walks in this connection also we cannot refrain from alluding to another tice gradually becoming very prevalent of hanging signs across the side sidewalks walks walka by which the view up and down the streets is completely obstructed these are evils which are growing and unless put a stop to before long will become so established that ehst if their cure be attempted some may think their rights are being interfered with and raise an outcry about the action that may be deemed necessary to correct I them twenty feet lithe width of our sidewalks side walka let that width be maintained on our business streets as well as elsewhere for if there is one quarter of the city where greater strictness should be maintained in enforcing this width than another it is in the business parts where the travel is the greatest awning posts should be placed on the same bame line is as the trees and not two or three feet inside of them and if articles of merchandise are to be displayed in front let the watercourse be covered and a few feet saymour say four or thereabout there about be allowed for this purpose instead of signs being placed across the walk why not storekeepers have them on the fronts of their buildings jt it is true trite that if one ond or two persons persona place their signs across the sidewalks side walks passersby passers by are more likely to notice them than if they were anthe on the ohe fronts alone but if a few havethe have he right to thus display their sigs signs all ill have and if all alf were gere were to hang their names and business across ar a r the sidewalks side walks one would hiowt hide the he other and they would be bo of no more advantage than if they they were on the fronts of their thein buildings on this account because of its fairness if for no other some bome regulation should be adopted by bychich which this custom can be eori cori corrected besides this it polls spoils the thil effect 0 of f the street is an ugly feature and should be removed dehope fathers will
