In the month. This decision is arbitrary
and hurtful TO the city. but the gas COM
pany has the power 10 make IL.
Even II the city should agree to come TO
the terms OF the gas company, no very
great relief would be given. Even II the
gas company were paid IL cents for each
light, the city would still be in darkness
for five and a half nights in the month.
Under the street lighting contract a pro-
vision is foolishly made that the lights
shall not be lit for three nights in the
month-at full moon and a night before
and a night after. The sky may be ut
terly overcast, but II II be so at the time
II is evident. therefore. that no benefit
is to be derived from a compromise with
the gas company: Many officials have

rault seems TO be received with most
favor. He suggests that the outgoing and
incoming Boards OF Supervisors be
lighting fund TO cover the winter months
and to insure the lighting OF the street
lamps every night in the month: This
would relieve the city from the dangers
Of darkness during the winter. and a saw
ing could be made in some other direction.
1t Is utterly out Of the question TO
change now the appropriation for street
lighting for this fiscal year. II has been
fixed by law and cannot be changed. The
only avenue OF relief therefore is 10 Sc
cure the permission Of both Boards Of
Supervisors to create a deficiency in the
fund. AS for the general question Of street
lighting, there Is but one opinion. AS far
as the illumination of its streets are con-
cerned San Francisco IS far behind the
times. and when Mayor Phelan begins the
operation OF making San Francisco The
Paris OF America he will find a splendid
field for reform and Improvement in the
street lights.
1t is claimed that gas lighting should
be abolished and that electric lighting
should take its place. The main thorough
fares should be lllumined all night and the
residence districts until late in the night.
An all-night illumination should also be
given 10 the districts where the criminal
elements congregate-in the alleys and by
ways OF the city. San Francisco would
then be properly and adequately lighted
at night, but such reforms as these can
now be only matters OF speculation. Abb
solutely nothing can be done until the be-
ginning OF the next fiscal year, In July.

Relief May Be Obtained Only
by Creating a Deficiency.
Our Municipal Street Lighting Is Among
the Worst of Any Town in the
Entire United States.

90 HE problem OF street lighting has
become a serious one for this city.
and as the winter progresses the
il question VIII inevitably increase in
Importance. For seven nights of
every month OF thirty days the city is in
absolute darkness. All districts Of San
Francisco are at the mercy OF malefac-
tors. and the winter is the season for the
operations OF malefactors who ply their
trade at night. For seven nights in the
month there is not a light to be seen ex-
cept those which are supplied by private
subscription or which shine from he
shops Of tradesmen. During the other
nights Of the month the street lights, as
furnished. are utterly inadequate 10 a city
the size OF San Francisco. Unless some
measures are Immediately taken TO rem
edy this evil IL will continue during the
winter and subject the people of San
Francisco 10 countless inconvenience and
dangers.
From the point OF view OF street light
ing the city is a village. This crisis is the
result OF the quarrel between the munich
pal authorities and the gas company.
When the appropriations for the present
fiscal year were made not only economy,
but parsimony. was displayed In setting
aside money for street lighting. The fund
for street sweeping was left undisturbed
but that for street lighting was greatly
reduced. The gas company protested and
threatened, and when neither protest nor
threat avaIled the company carried into
effect the policy that is now leaving San
Francisco in darkness.
The first radical measure was to shut
of fully one-third OF the street lights in
the Western Addition. This curtailment
is for the entire month and already IL
has bred anxiety and fear in the district
In the Mission the lights have not been
disturbed except for the seven days that
the city is left in utter darkness. The
reason for this is that the residents of
the Western Addition are conservative
and have no Improvement clubs, and the
Mayor. who chose the localities In which
the lights must go out. likes Improvement
