There are more things than unpaid
city gas bills coming before the Board
of Supervisors to make Mr.. Crockett of
the gas combine vince and look 20 the
welfare of his company's stocks. Yester-
day Clerk Russell was requested to take
and file for the Independent Electric
Light and Power Company the specifica-
tions for the line of conduits upon which
il proposes to soon begin work. The
specifications were accompanied by an
undertaking, upon which Claus Spreckeis
and A. B. Spreckels appeared as sureties,
to lay the conduits within the strictest
provision of the law and subject to the
supervision and decision Of the Superin-
tendent of Streets. A blue print map was
also enclosed outlining the work first to
be begun, that of station A, which begins
at the sugar refinery at Georgia and
Humboldt streets and runs west on Hum
boldt to Illinois, north on Illinois 10

posa and thence west to Mississippi.

ducts TO be set in an encasement of con-
crete. The ducts are to be placed at
depth of from two and one-half to three
feet under the grade of the street, &C
cording to the obstacles that may be met
with. The trenches to be dug along the

tervals. and branch pipes will be laid from
the main conduits TO the curb in order
