San Francisco, May 1.—Today marked the actual beginning of the disentangling of San Francisco from its disordered condition and of com- mencing the work of reconstruction. Om many sides were visible indica- tions of the determination of the mer- chants to resume business. Gangs of men with teams are excavating for foundations in numerous vacant lots and in other places the removal of debris of burned buildings is well un- der way. The streets at an early hour were thronged with laborers on their way to the burned districts, where they had been engaged to assist in the task of cleaujug up.. The boats from the cities across the bny and the elec- tric cars from the suburbs were packed with workmen who had already se cured employment. In many places advertisements were posted on the walls seeking laborers and these inquiries for men were met with numerous responses from heads of families who were only too wiiling to engage in auy kind of labor, The authorities issued numerous permits to corporations and individuals to open their safes. Every precaution was taken to establish the identity of the owners, so that it will be impossible to practice frauds. The safes are of the smaller kind- and have sufficiently cooled to permit being opened. By - this means a little more money will be. put in general circulation and some of the distress arising from the waat af cash will be immediately relieved. ‘rne water supply is getting better every day and in several sections of the saved district thé force of water |in the faucets is ahmest as strong as it was before the big fives: The police and military autherities.. have taken steps which will even- tuslly prevent further looting of the ruins; particulagly in Chinatown.
