Merch ants Association Wishes 10
Have Paving on Geary Street
Laid at Once.

Itis the firm belief of those property
owners who have signed the agreement for
the better lighting OF Third street that their
property will thus be greatly improved.
In some instances property-owners hav-
ing vacant lots expect to erect new build
ings. Third street is the outlet to the
Potrero and is the inlet to the City of most
visitors who approach it by the railroad
entrance from the south. AS soon as Fol
som street, between Third and Sixth, Is
paved, Third street will be one OF the
main entrances to the main boulevard OF
the Mission.
The property-owners along Third street
do not believe in going half way in the
matter of lighting the street. They desire
to have six arc lights installed upon each
block and one at each crossing. To ac-
complish this result it is necessary to get
the cooperation of all the property-own-
ers along the street. Until sufficient sig
natures are secured the canvassing COM
mittee will not give the order for lights.
AS soon as they are secured the order will
be given for seven electric arc lights of
1000 candle-power upon each block.
The contemplated lighting of Third
street with electric lights has awakened
great enthusiasm among the property
