STEAM FOG SIGNAL AT LIME POINT.
Page made favorable report yester-
day to the House, by instruction of the
Committee on Commerce, recommending
an appropriation of $4,000 for the con-
struction of steam fog signal at Lime
Point, at the entrance of San Francisco
harbor. The Lighthouse Board, in a
communication to the Committee on the
subject, say: "When the sound of a
signal on Lime Point is once picked up
anywhere outside the harbor, it can be
steered for directly and with confidence,
and it is so close aboard that it can be
made in the thickest of weather, and
then the vessels position can be deter
mined with such accuracy that a straight
course can be laid either to the city or
to sea. The proposed site on Lime Point
is on the north side of Golden Gate, op-
posite Fort Point, and is already the
property of the Government.
