Complaints About Water Front
Electric Lights.
The Carr Rock Experiences Shock From a
Submarine Volcano-Long Passage Of
the Nsttie Supdborg.

A number Of complaints have been re-
Gently made by customs officers and others
whose business takes them on the water
front at all hours Of the night, that the
electric lights there burn very irregularly
at the best and sometimes not at all. On
Saturday evening the electric lamps did not
burn until after midnight from Meiggs
Wharf to the foot of Beale street.
Superintendent Bowie of the Electrical
Improvement Company which supplies the
lights, and for which the Harbor Commits
sioners pay, says that strict attention is
paid to the lights, and that he has found on
many occasions that the light switches
have been turned off by malicious persons,
probably to favor their own bad designs.
1t has also been found, he says, that the
constant shaking of teams going along the
docks and the strong winds that are felt
always most severely on the city front,
cause the carbon points to pass each other
in the automatic feeder and to get out of
gear, and disarrangement of the lights is
the result. On Saturday evening casting
connected with the dynamo engine at the
foot OF Vallejo street broke, and that ac-
counted for the shutdown.
The weather was fosgy and haZy at Point
LObos yesterday and the wind from the
south until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when
