CITY STREETS MUST REMAIN IN DARKNESS Relief May Be Obtained Only| hey Are th by Creating a Deficiency. the Worst of Any Town in the Entire United States. HE problem of street lighting has [~ become a serious one for this city, and as the winter progresses the question will inevitably increase in | lmpur‘.ur.c(' For seven nights of every month of thirty days the city Is in absolute darkness. All districts of San cisco are at the mercy of maletac- tors, and the winter is the season for the operations of malefactors who ply thelr trade at night. For seven nights in the month there is not a light to be seen ex- cept those which are supplied by private subscription or which shine frem shops of tradesmen. During the other nights of the month the street lights, as furnished, are utterly inadequate to a city the size of San Francisco. Unless some measures are immediately taken to rem- edy this evil it will continue during the winter and subject the people of San Franclsco to countiess inconveniences and dangers. From the point of view of street light- | Ing the city is a village. This crisis is the result of the quarrel between the munici- pal authorities and the gas company. When the appropriations for the present fiscal year were made not only ecomomy, but parsimony, was displayed In setting aside money for street lighting. The fund for street sweeping was left undisturbed, | but that for street lighting was greatly | reduced. The gas company protested and » amount $126,747,314 have | threatened, and when neither protest nor | threat availed the company carried into | eftect the policy that Is now leaving San ita_Ana and Newport railroads were | $1.- | Its re orl. Franctsco in darkness. The first radical measure was to shut 1 rd of the street lights in n iftion, This curtallment {s for the entire month, and already It has bred anxiety and fear in the district. In the Mission the lights have not been disturbed except for the seven days that t In utter darkne The rea: th is that the residents of the \\e.mn Additlon are conservative and have no Improvement clubs, and the Mayor, who chose the localities in which the lights must go out, likes improvement clubs. After this general reduction in lights had been made another controversy arose. It was over the payment for each light. The Mayor Insists that the gas company is entitled to 10 cents a light, and the -he | | company contends that it should receive | 11 cents. The matter has been under con- sideration for a month now, and the gas pom | 1t Bmfl the city comes to its terms there shall be no street lights for seven nights in the month. This decision is arbitrary and hurtful to the city, but the gas com- pany has the power to make it. Even if the city should agree to come to the terms of the gas company, no very great relief would ven. as company were paid 11 cents for each ight, the city would still be in darkness for five and a half nights in the month. | vision is foolishly made that the lights and a night after. urlYl overcast, but if it be so at the time of the full moon the lamps are not lit. It is evident, therefore, that no benefit 18 to be derived from WA compromise with the gas complng an! | discussed the probiem and offered sugges- tions, but that offered bf Supervisor Per- rault’ seems to be recelved with most favor. He sugsests that the outgoing and Incoming Boards of Supervisors be ghting fund to cover the winter months and to insure the lighting of the street amps every night in the month. This would relfeve the city from the dangers of darkness during the winter, and a & | lnf could be made in some other direction. t is utterly out of the question to change now the appropriation for street | lighting for this flscal year. It has been fixed by law and cannot be changed. Tne cure the permission of both Boards of Supervisors to create a deflciency in the fund. As for the general question of street | lighting, there is but one opinion. As far ! as the illumination of its streets are con- | | cerned San Francisco is far behind the | times, and when Mayor Phelan begins the operation of making San Francisco the | Paris of America he will find a splen:d | fleld for reform and improvement in the street lights. | It 1s claimed that gas lighting should | be abolished and that electric lighting | should take its place. The main thorough- | fares should be {llumined all night and the residence districts until late in the night. An all-night {llumination should also be elements congregate—in the alleys and by ways of the city. San Francisco would then be properly and adequately lighted at night, but such reforms as these can now Be only matters of speculation. Ab- solutely nothing can be done until the be- ginning of the next fiscal year, In July.

These dolls were not the ones the rotund gentleman was auctioning off, but they were the real show, nevertheless. They were the ones that brought the crowd that moved restlessiy here and there, gaz- ing at the magnificent costumes’ and gleaming jewels and figuring on the worth of the figure they covered, and, to tell the truth, in some cases ornamented. And the crowd could not be blamed for wanting to see the show, for 'twas a brave one, indeed. All the loveliness of San Franclsco had jolned hands to help the Doctor's Daughters and the ghone on women who were falr indeed, while, as for the men, who can gainsay | the courage of him who entered there leaving all hope of future financlal great- ness behind.
