SPRING VALLEY WATER WORKS
BY CHAS. WEBB HOWARD, President.
PELHAM w. AMES, Secretary.
Accompanying the bound volume con-
tanning the list of persons to whom wa
ter was supplied was the following letter:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco
Gentlemen: Herewith is presented to your
honorable board the annual report of the
1898. AS you will observe from the report,
the year has required more than the aver
age annual expenditure for permanent i'm
provements-the total sum amounting to
81, HAS 13 Is. This has been required in the
necessary construction of the new San
pipe line, the Milpitas pumping plant. the
Crystal Springs pumping plant and other
permanent improvements, all made neceS-
sary by the demands arising upon the COM
pany during the year. You will also OBJ
serve an increase in the operating
penses occasioned by the extra amount of
pumping necessarily done on account of the
dry season, to meet the demand for water.
This extra expense amounts In round num-
bers to SIS, 600 more than for the preceding
700 So and the total for the preceding year
but 1888, 1854 81. The difference betweent these
last two sums is less than the extra cost
of pumping, such difference being $24, S14,
thus showing that the operating expenses in
the aggregate in other departments was that
much less during the year 1898 than in 1897.
The particulars called for by resolution
No 2212 (Fourth Series) of your honorable
board will be ready and furnished to your
committee at its first meeting to consider
the question Of fixing rates Respectfully
yours

ENTRANCE TO THE CRYPT SHOWING PART OF THE

apple from the Garden OF the Hesperides. IN
their race around the sun the earth overtakes
this little neighbor once in about twenty-six
months. Mars has the outer path. and when the
earth comes between it and the sun the planet Is
said to be I'm opposition" This situation &C.
ours on January Is. and at that time Mars will
be on the meridian at midnight
The length Of day on that planet is almost
exactly like that on the earth. The inclination
of its axis to the ecliptic also favors n recur-
renee of seasons, not unlike those with which
the earth's inhabitants familiar But being
a smaller body, and probably an older one, than
the EARTH 1t has doubtless radiated off into
space good deal more of its original store Of
heat. Besides. 1t is further away from the sun
than we are. and ought for that reason alone to
be much colder than the earth. Finally the
blanket of atmosphere which slightly retards the
loss OF the earths own and acquired warmth has
very inadequate counterpart on the rudy
planet.
At most Mars has probably only one-quarter
or One-eighth Of the amount Of air that envel.
ops the earth. and Professor Campbell, OF the
Lick Observatory. Is inclined to think that Mars
has only about as much air as the moon which
ia just no air at all. This, however, is not q
final verdict; and. while Mars shows practically
| no clouds. other phenomena observed on it's sur
face (such as the formation Of polar icecaps)
seem to require the mechanism Of an atmos-
phere.
Practically all Of the northern hemisphere Of
Mars and q third or more OF the southern hem.
isphere, possess the characteristic orange color
Of the planet. This part Of its surface has been
generally believed to be dry land. Whether II IL
rock sand arabic soil. or all three It is not easy
to say. Opinions differ on the subject But no
one who speaks with authority ventures to sug.
gest that the yellow area is water. A large gray.
ish blue or green area, completely encircling the
south pole and reaching up nearly to the
equator on one side OF Mars. considered an
ocean by the older astronomers And certain ex.
tensive patches OF the same hue upon the or
ange surface have received such names "a
Lake OF the Sum-" Lake OF the Nile" and "The
Acidalian Sea-" .~ri
But about the nature Of the dark regions a
change of opinion Is gradually taking place II
has been alleged that the gray blue surface does
not poarize light, water does. The transitorv
and seasonal character of the so-called canals
which are likewise gray. and which have been
suspected OF being belts Of vegetation produced
by, irrigation, has suggested the possibility that
the big gray patches may be land after all.
