SAN FRANCISCO
READING ROOM
AND LIBRARY
FOR THE BLIND

Investigations into the conditions
and requirements of the blind of our
city present the astonishing fact that
though no cause is more worthy, and
no necessity for help more urgent,
yet only small proportion of the IN
habitants of San Francisco are aware
that on the northeast corner of
Fourth and Clara streets is located a
most laudable and deserving institu-
ton, the San Francisco Reading room
and Library for the Blind. Its OBJ
jects and good works are but little
known, as little understood. and un-
fortunately meet with corresponding
iy small support Its needs, however,

on any field of battle, they have sac
rihced themselves in the fight to save
the lives and property OF others and
our city from destruction. Happily,
our people II such instances manifest
their appreciation of these gallant
acts. They cheerfully contribute 10
q fund for the benefit or those whom
the death OF our hreboys have left
oCsolate and unprovided for. Thus a
bond OF sympathetic friendship has
been cemented between our citizens
and our Fire Department. That the
Fire Department holds a tight and
permanent grip on our heart t-strings
Is demonstrated by the liberal meas
ure adopted by the firm OF s. n.
Wood & Co. of 74o Market street and
the James Flood building at Powell
and Ellis streets. Actusted by mo-
tives that make for the general good
and impelled by considerations of the
great worth OF our Fire Department;
the invaluable service its members
render this community; the hazard
