THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

y s the Grand Jury in It's final report expressed
! I regret that II did not have the customary six
months in which to do It's work, it is fair 70
bear m mind the brevity OF its OF Office in pass
ing judgment on what it accomplished. As rule,
the report favorable TO the various branches OF the
municipal government and IS sufficiently approving
tc give the officials something OF happy holiday
season.
Two features OF the report deserving OF special
notice In referring the inspection OF the telephone
service the Grand jury says 1T was pointed out 10
us how the signals given the operator at the
time the nickel was deposited in the slot This signal
,beng fash OF light, which is instantaneous, we
could readily how the operator might have her at
tenton attracted in other way and thereby miss
the signal and undoubtedly great deal OF dissats-
faction is caused in this manner. together with the
TACT that the boxes will get out OF order, as admitted
by the officers In talking with the latter we could
get no satisfaction out OF them in reference to any
remedy for this evil and your committee would
recommend that the telephone company be required
to give fat instead OF using the nicel-in-the-
slot telephone there is doubt in our minds that
fat rate IS the only satisfactory way OF giving the
public good service"
With the recommendation that the nicbel-in- the
slot system be done away with the public will hardly
agree At any rate it should not be abolished until
il is what viii be the effect OF the resolution re-
quiring the desired switch TO be made before the
deposit OF the nickel is required. A company which
cannot see a way to remedy defect OF mechanism
that operates in favor OF the company may very
quickly find a remedy when the defect works
against il.
Another point OF particular interest is in the state
ment:
IN regard TO the Supervisors we find that the
reprehensble habit OF selecting the street light fund
20 come to the aid OF the depleted treasury IS worthy
OF severe The city is plunged in total dark
for period exposing its citizens TO the ravages
OF the criminal element on that account"
It is hardly fair 10 lay upon the Supervisors the
whole blame for the deficient lighting OF the CITY
The dollar limit OF taxation with the resulting limit OF
revenue demanded by the voters OF the city and
the Supervisors were doing no more than fulfilling
their pledges when they limited the tax In max
ing the apportonment TO the various funds the
advice of the Mayor and OF the Merchants Associa-
tion was asked and in the main followed
While tho Supervisors are thus not solely resnon
sible for the lack OF illumination it is however. none
the less gratifying to have the evil pointed out bv the
Grand jury. Il is high time to provide San Fran
cisco with adequate street lights every night in the
year. The i'll lighting OF the streets has become
something more than nuisance. 1t is menace 70
