Claremont
17 decisions the Board of Supervisors took about Claremont, between 1914 and 1932, read from its own minutes and each linked to the scanned page; most of them in the 1910s; often about land and buildings split up, blasting permits, railroads and spur tracks.
What keeps coming up

- Blasting permits2Permission to set off explosives at a named place — street cuts, foundations, tunnels — revocable and usually time-limited.
- Railroads and spur tracks2Rail lines run into factories and yards — the industrial city, mostly gone by 1930.

Where this comes from
Every decision the record places on this street is here. Every line is written from one item in the minutes of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the city council, and links to the page it was printed on at the Internet Archive or in the Clerk's own files. Many of the Board's decisions name no street at all, and only the ones that do can be placed here. How the record was read · The whole city
