This magnificent arch will spring from four massive pedestals twenty feet long, fourteen feet wide and twenty-eight feet high, each carrying about 1000 electric lights worked in unique design, supported by beautiful pilasters richly ornamented with stucco work with great artistic ef- fect and surmounted by four heroic eagies and the trusses of thg arch proper. The arch will \have a graceful sweep of 160 feet from pedestal to pedestal and | will rise to a height of 77 feet above the street line. It will be richly ornamented in stucco work of delicate tracery and flluminated with 5000 electric lights. The WILL NOT BUY PRESIDIO AOAD Committee on Public Utilities Rejects Offer Made.

The arch is a feat of engineering and it is remarkable that such a structure can be erected and finished in all its details in such a short time.
