THE FIRST SURVEYOR.

The first surveyor. or, at least, the man
who did the first surveying, was John
Voget, merchant. WIN came very early
in the forties. About 1871 1t was decided
that some streets should be laid out, and
Vioget undertook the job. He fixed the
limits of q few blocks about Tho region
where the few houses were scattered, and
determined the widths OF Montgomery,
Kearny, Dupont and interesting streets.
The original chain used 10 lay, out the
streets of San Francisco is now in the cabi-
net of the California Pioneers.
In 1917. 0'Farrell, who knew more about
the business. was engaged for similar job,
and was the first Professional surveyor. He
found that the streets did noe run in proper
lines. and he swung the town around with
Kearny and Washington streets as pivot.
This became known as ''O'Farrel's swing"
AS the street lines were moved several
buildings were left in the street; but only
one man protested. and he finally got his
house back out Of the way.
1t was desired then to widen Dupont,
Kearny and Montgomery streets, but the
exi ense OF moving the few frame buildings
was considered too great Market street
was ont of town but it was given its direc-
ton because it was the highway to the Mis-
sion and was expected TO become an impor-
tapt thoroughfare. 0'Farrel made the
blocks south of Market 80 large because
they were so FAR from the business center

shall remain under control OF the company

On application emigrants for the Pacific
