Gas,Lamps to B: Done Away With in Certain Business Localities. Foulevards and M:rket Street to Ee Iiluminated an? Made Avenu's of Bcauty. Superintendent King has submitted the following communication to the Mer- chants’ Association on the subject of im- proving the lighting of the streets by sub- stituting electric lights for gas lamps: sux FRANCISCO, Mav 4, 18! W. Dohrmann, President Merchants' Asso- ciation—DEAR SiR: 1beg 10 submit herewith the foilowing report and plan for a general system of -electric-lighting of this City, to- gether with a map showing number and loca- tion of provased eiectric lights and the gas lamps which would thereby be dispensed with. }ap—The proposed electric lights are indi- cated by large red dots, the gaslamps which will be dispensed Wwith by greer crosses, the gas lamps which will be retained on those streets by red crosses, and_tne electric ligats which the City has already installed on the streets in question by large purple dots. Principle—The leading priuciple of this sys- tem is that of suspending an arc light in the center of each crossing of all the business streets of the City, and dispensing with the adjacent gas lamps, which will thereby be rendered unnecessery. Exceptions—The exceptions to this rule are Market street, certain blocks south ol Market streetand a_few blocks in the wholesale dis- trict which will be referred to later on. Busi- ness streets are considered to be all those strects throughout the City upon which a ma- ority of the frontsge is occupied by business houses whieh remain open durivg the even- | ng. Boulevards—In addition to the regular pusi- ness streets it is also proposed to place electric lights at each crossing ou Golden Gate avenue, from Market to Devisadero, and on Folzom as far out as Nineteenth street. Itseems very de- sirable that the wain thoroughfare to the | park should be well lightsd ard thus made attractive to persons driving, and particularly | 10 those riding bicycles to the park at night. In order that the Mission residents may b3 equally well treated, their boulevaid, Foisom street, hus been included in the same system, and this will thereby be made tae favorite highway at night for the residents south of Market street. In this counection, I would cail attention to the fact that Folsom street, from Nineteenth to Twenty-sixth, is at pres. | ent lighted in this mannner. | Gas Iamps displaced—Upon all the streets | above mentioned, the blocks of which are 275 | and 412!4 feet in length, T estimate that four | gas lamps wili be dispensed with for every electric light instalied. On those streets south | of Market, where the blocks are 550 feet in lengtn, or double the length of those blocks north of Market, it seems only right that, on the main business streets, such as Tnird, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth and Sixteent, an additional iight should be placed in the middle of each block, thus making these lights the same distance apart as those nortn of Market. The placing of these additional lights will, however, dispense with only one additional gas lamp in each block, but it will be necessary 10 have them 50 placed! Chinatown—Dupont and other streets in Chinatown are not included in this schedule for the reason that on account of the many dark slleys it 18 necessary to have many lights well distributed, and this can' be done better with gas lamps. Wholesale districts—The who sion district north of California foundry district south of Market are not in- cluded in this schedule, s little, if any, busi- ness is done there at night. That poition of the wholesale district bounded by Market, California_and Sansome, being traveled by many people going to and from the ferries, will have electric lights on_every other cross. ing and gas lamps on the intermediate cross- ings. arket street—The lighting of Market street has been carefully considered, and it is be- ijeved that the following plan will give the best result: It is propcesed to suspend over the center of the street an unbroken line of lights reaching from tho ferries to Valencia street. The lights to be pisced as follows: From East to Second street, the blocks on the south side being 275 feet long, a light wiil be suspended opposite the intersection of each of the streets south of Market. On the suc- ceeding blocks, wh.ch are 825 teet long, in addition to the ones opposite the intersection, there will be two additional iights atequal distences bstween. On the 550-feet blocks will be one light between the intersections. Tnis will require thirty-five lights for the en- tire length of Market street, all about 300 feet apart. In order to do away with the uns‘ghtly ap- pearance of the usual lot of wires and ropes | required to haul the lamps to the side of the street to be trimmed it is proposed 1o suspend | these lights from small wire cables streiched from the side of the street, and the wires con- Qducting the electricity aTe to be inclosed in condnits and fastened close against the cable. All: opes will be dispensed with and the lamp trimmed from the center of the sireet between the tracks. By this method thero will be seen only a small wire caole crossing the s treet, which will be no more objectionable than the many similar cables now there. Upon con- sultation with the electric-light company I have been assured that this plan is entirely feasible. It is proposed to suspend the lamps in the center of the street rather than alte; nately on the sides for the following reasons: Firsi—To place them along the sides would require a much greater number, and irom Third to Seventh their effect would be com- pletely destroved by the greater number of are lights in front of show-windows. Second—Because the effect of such a long string of electric lights, reaching trom the ferries to Valeucia, a difference of nearly a mile and a half, will be very impressive, particularly to visitors, s they come up from the ferries. ‘ost—The cost of thiz system of lighting will be as follows! In all districts north of Market and in the Western Addition one electric iight will displace four gaslamps. Taking the fiz- ures of the present contract of the City these fonr gaslamips would cost48 cents per night and the electrie lights 55 cents per night, or 7 cents exira per night for each electric jizht, The total namber of electric lights required for this schedule is 281. and the num ber of guslimps thut would be dispensed with is 1042, This would make the costof 281 elec- tic tights at 55 cents each $154 55 per nignt, and there would be & savinz of 1042 gaslamps at12 cents each, amounting 1o 125 04 per night, which makes a totel increxse in cost of this system only $29 51 per night, or $796 77 pez month of tweuty-:even days or 89561 24 Tcseems, however, that these figures could be considerably reduced. The Cost of electric lights to the City al present is 55 cents per nigot for all nigat ligh.s. I understand toat gll-nignt lights are being furnished to private parties for & 1 ss price than this. From the ine lormation on hand itcan b: safely assumed {hat if the company couid furnish these ndai- tional lights for as low a price as all-nignt lights are furnished forin some paris of the City the total extrs cost for substituting electrie lights according to the abov. schedule would not amount to mere than $5000 & year, I believe the number of gasiamps which could be dispensed with can be increas:d from twenty-five to fifty. Io making above estimate oty those lamps which would be piainiy use- less were considered. ‘A careiul comparative studs &% night of the lighting ot electric lightson crossings oniy, and the prosent effect of gas lighting shows {hat on all 275 and 412} foot blocks the lignt- 1ights ori crossings is infinitely better thau the present system Of gas lamps, and is sufficient for all purposes of travel. On those blocks where the business houses wish 8 briiliant illumivation they can, it lights are on crossings, easily raise by sub- scription enough to place one or two addi- tionnl 12 o'clock lights on such blocks, After 12 o'clock lights on crossings are suflicient for all purposes. It alsoscems probable that after one year’s trial of lightson crossings on the Dbusiness streets the people will become 50 edu- cated 10 the better service and small difference in cost that when the new contract is made one year hence they wiil demand that the system be extended throughont the greater portion of the residence district. Respect~ 1ully submitted, L M. KING, Superintendent. BIG MINIKG DEAL The San Philipe Mining and D:- veloping Company Has Been Organizad. Claims Set Forth by Its Promoters and Its Guarantee to Capi ta' Invest-d. Probably the most novel and what is claimed to be one of the best mining spec- ulations that has presented itself in the field of investment for some time vast comes in the inauguration of a miring company incorporated in this City during the past few weeks, which bids for specu- Iation in its stock and at the same time guaranteeing a net profit of 100 per cent at the expiration of three years to the holders of shares, giving as security for such guarantee valuable San Francisco property now he!d in trust by the Union Trust Company of tnis City. ‘The corporation in_question is the San Philipe Mining and Developing Company, oreanized to operate and develop mines situated in the heart of the richest mining district of Californi. Mr. F. H. Loftus is the promoter of this enterprise as well as the owner of the property. When seen at his office at 620 Market street he had the following to say : “I am owner of mining property which I am confident wiil yield a big income if worked properly, but having suffered like others by reason of the recent financial stringencies all over the country, have not sufficient ready capital to launch the en- terprise and reap the very large profits that I am confident will accrue. “But being the owner of extensive and valuable realty interests in San Francisco, I offer these as security 1o all who buy stock in my mine, as a guarantee that the San Philipe mine will pay investors at least 100 per cent profit on their invest- ment within three years. “I have placed in escrow a deed for property which will 2o to_tne stockhold- ers of the corporation shou!d I fail to meet my expectations in the mine and not be able to net the investors 100 per cent profit in three years, *To the mining speculator this will ap- pear at once as a splendid opportunity tor the investment of capital, which dif- fers irom the ordinary mining specula- tions, since the investor has an absolute gnarantee with security held in trust oy the Union Trust Company of this City that all moneys invested will yield a net profit of at least 100 per cent within three years.”” —————— KIRKPATRICK'S FLAMANTE.
