A MOVE FOR BETTER LIGHTS. | The Merchants’ Association Makes a Strong Effort to Get the Board of Super- visors to Act. The Merchants’' Assoclation, through its vice-president, A. 8. Baldwin, has prepared and sent to the Board of Supervisors the following petition and report of Superintendent King regarding the better lighting of the business streets of the city: In view of the fact that a new contract for lighting the streets of this city will begin August 1, 1895, we beg to ~n..it herewith a plan for improving the lighting of our business streets, and respectfully petition your honorable board to provide in the specifications for the new contract for likhting our business streets with electricity instead of gas, in the manner set forth in the report presented herewith. In presenting this plan and request, we desire to represent to your honorable board that, during the previous year, the property owners and merchants, on certain business strests, voluntarily subscribed over §14,412 2 for the purpose of giving & practical experl- ment of lighting the business streets with electricity. The results of this experiment were 80 conclusive that the demand is now universal for the use of electricity instead of gas on business streets and that these lights should burn every night during the year. As further evidence of the public feeling in this rhatter, we herewith present a peti- tion signed by & number of taxpayers, engaged in business on the streets it s pro- posed to light, asking that the business streets be lighted by electric lights instead of gas lamps, and that the lights burn every night during the year. We also present a copy of the resolutions unanimously adopted at the general meeting of the members of the Merchants’ Association May 20, Therefore, the Merchants Assoclation respecttully asks that the following provisions be included in the specifications for the next contract beginning August 1, 1898: First—That the business streets of this city, together with Folsom gtreet, Golden Gate avenue and Van Ness avenue, be lighted by elec- tricity instead of gas, in accordance with the plar presented herewith. Seccond—That these lights be burned every night during the year. Third—That the city be divided into separate lighting districts, and that the contracts for lighting each district be let separately. Fourth—That the contractois to whom the electric lighting con- tracts are awarded shall place snd maintain upon all electric light poles, which are or may hereafter be placed at the crossings or intersec- tions of streets and alleys, the names of said streets or alleys. Fifth—That, in order to permit proper competition in bidding for street lighting, and that the successful bidders may have sufficient time in which to make the necesssary arrangements for assuming their contracts, the proposals for street lighting be advertised not less than ninety days before the expiration of the present comtract, and the contracts be awarded not less than sixty days preceding the expiration of the present contract. REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT L. M. KING TO THE BOARD OF DiRECTORS OF THE MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION. Pursuant to your request for a practical plan of a general system of s of the city, instead of the present inadequate eystem of gas lighting, of having such a plan made a part of the speci- fications for street lighting in the new contract to commence August 1, 189, I beg to submit herewith the following report and plan for such a system. The plan proposed is similar to the one previously presented to the board, but modi- fied to meet the possibilities arising from the fact that a new contract is now to be let. The leading principle of this system 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 ad- Jacent gas lamps, which will thereby be rendered unnecessary. This applies not only to the business streets in the central portion of the city, but also to those in the Mission, Western Addition and North Beach districts. The exceptions to this rule are Market street, certain blocks south of Market street, and a few blocks in the wholesale district, which will be referred to later on. Busi- Dess strects are considered to be all those streets throughout the city upon which a Mmajority of the frontage is occupied by business houses which remain open during the evening. In ‘nddition to the regular business streets, it s also proposed to place electric lights at each crossing on Golden Gate avenue from Market to Devisadero, and on Folsom from Third to Twenty-sixth, and on Van Ness avenue from Market to Broadway. It seems very desirable that one of the main thoroughfares to the park, and to the Mission, and through the Western Addition, should be well lighted, and thus made attractive to per- sons driving and riding bieycles at night. In this connection, I would call attentlon to the fact that Folsom street, from Nineteenth to Twenty-sixth, is at present lighted in this manner, and it is only necessary to compare this portion of Folsom street with that Portion from Third to Nineteenth, to realize the advantage of using electric lights in- stead of gas lamps. g Onthose streets south of Market, where the blocks are G50 feet in length, it seems only right that, on the main business streets, such as Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Nifth and Sixteenth, ‘an additional light should be placed in the middle of each block, thus making these lights the same distance apart as on the short blocks north of Market. Dupont and other streets in Chinatown are not included in this schedule for the rea- son that on account of the many dark alleys, it is necessary to have many lights well Qistributed, and this can be done better with gas lamps. The wholesale commission distri north of California, and the foundry district, south of Market, are not included in this schedule, as little if any business {s done there at Pight. That portion of the wholesale district bounded by Market, California and San- Some being traveled by many people going to and from the ferries, will have electric Tights on every other crossing, and gas lamps on the intermediate crossings. Tt 1% proposed to suspend all of these lights, except those on Van Ness avenue, from span wires over the center of each crossing. Different electric light authorities, who have been consulted, are unanimous in their opinions that. in order to properly {lluminate streets, the light should be suspended in the middle, rather than on one side. The objec- om0 this method on account of the wires and poles will hardly obtain, as the lights, When %o placed, can be lighted from underground circuits as easily as from overhead. The necessary poles at the crossings are, to a great extent, already In position. In any case, it requires only an additional pole and a span of wiré to each block, which is not o much of an obstruction as would be poles with mast arms of the size necessary to Suspend the light in the middle of the crossing. Light iron mast arms may be gradually Subetituted In future years, but to do so now will result in a very large increase In the cost. f 17 from which we have data, 117 use span wires. On account of the grent width of Van Ness avenue, and the width of the sidewalk thers, it is proposed to Slace the lights on this street on neat iron poles to be located alternately on each side of the street crossings. The lighting of Market street has been mostcarefullyconsidered,and the following plan is presented as the one best adapted to the purpose without incurring a very large additional expense. It is proposed to install fifty arc lights on Market street from the ferries to Valencia street. These lights are to be placed upon orna- mental iron poles, and are to be arranged alternately on each side of the street in the positions indicated on Map No. 3, accompanying this report. This plan will afford a very satisfactory general illumination of the street, and while I believe that, in order to be most effective, the lights should be suspended over the street, as near the center as possible, yet, such a method will, unless span wires are used, necessi- tate the using of costly mast arms, which will entail so much addi- tional expense that it is not recommended for the present occasion. A careful examination of the location and number of electric lights now in use by the ity shows that the greater number of these lights are, at present, located in the out- Jving portions of the city, and in some cases, such as Kentucky street, San Bruno road, Miseion street and Point Lobos avenue, extend for several miles. Owing to the expense of maintaining poles and wires to such distances for a limited number of lights, the cost of lighting these portions of the city must necessarily be greater than the cost of Jighting the central portions of the city, .which are nearer the source of supply. It, there- fore, seems very desirable that, in the new contract about to be let, the city should be divided into several l(fihl!nz districts, and that the contract for each district be let separately. This ufder proper competition, show about what it actually costs to Jient different portions of the city. It will also permit more competition in city lighting. There may be responsible parties who would desire to bid for the lighting of one or more Gentlemen: districts, but who do not care to undertake the lighting of the entire city. A division Of the city, and the competition thereby made possible. will bring the cost of lighting Gown to what it is actually worth, and will be certain to meet with the approval of citizens in general. The districts into which it is proposed to divide the city are as follows: District No. 1—Beginning at the intersection of Market and East streets, along, and including, Market to Ridley; along, and including, Ridley to Mission; along, and includ- ing, Thirteenth to Division; along, and inciuding, Division to Channel; along, and in- cliding, Channel to the bay: along the bay line to the point of beginning, at East and Market. District No. 2—Beginning at the Intersection of Market and Fast streets, along, and not Including, Market to Ridley; along, and including Ridley westerly to ~ Devisadero; Rlong, and including. Devisadero to the bay; along the bay line to the point of begin- ning, at East and Market. Bistrict No. 3—Beginning at the northerly termination of - Devisadero, along, but not including, Devisadero to Ridl , and including, Ridley to Buena Vista avenu along, and including, Buena Visia avenue south of Buena Vista Park, to Frederick stroe along, and including, Frederick to Stanyan; along, and including, Stanyan to Fulton: Along, and including, Fulton to the ocean; along the ocean and bay line to the point of beginning. & istrict No. 4—Beginning at the easterly termination of Channel street, along, but not including, Channel to Division; along, but not including, Division to Thirteenth; ajong, but not including, Thirteenth to Ridley; ‘along, but not including, Ridley to Buena Vista ave- nue to Frederick: along, but not including, Frederick to H street; along, and including, 1 street to the ocean; along the ocean line to the San Mateo County fine; along the San Mateo County line to the bay; along the bay line to the point of beginning. The total number of new electric lights to be installed on the business streets under these schedules is 329, and the total number of gas lamps which would be dispensed with is 1152, or_an averaze of nearly four gas lamps for each electric light installed. While the present rates of gas and electricity are excessive, and will undoubtedly be reduced if the city is divided into districts and proper competition made possible, vet, in order to estimate what will be the maxigum cost of this improvement, 1 have taken the Tates for the present contract as the basis upon which to make these estimates, Cost per night of 329 electric lights at cents. Cost pet night of 1182 gas lamps at 12 cents. Extra cost per night of electric lights Extra cost per vear of 365 nights.. . In other words it will, at the maximum, cost only $14,275 15 per year to have all the business streets, in all parts of 'the city, well lighted every night in the year by electricity instead of the glimmering gas lamps, as at present, even if the rates are not reduced. The rates should be reduced to such an extent that this proposed improvement could be effected without increasing the appropriation. The present contract with the city provides that the minimum number of P s Wil maintatn shall be 8100, Tt 18 recommended that i the D" sorsral? this minimum shall be 3500, in order to permit additional electric lights to be installed in the residence district, when it is desirable to do €0, and enough gas lamps can be dis- placed to cover the cost of the electric lights so Installed. Tt 1s recommended that the names of streets shall be placed, as at present, upon the gas lamps at Street crossings and intersections, and that at all crossing and intarsecs flons, at which electric lights are placed, the names of the streets shall be placed and naintained upon one of the poles upon which the electric light is placed or from which it fs suspended. In the past, when gas lamps have been taken down and electric lights substituted, no street signs have been provided by the company. CUTS THE THROAT OF HER SIX CHILDREN.
