MARKET STREET
WILL Be AbLNE
Plans for Lighting Of
Thoroughiare Are
Complete.

Market street is to be the most
brilliantly lighted street in the world.
The San Francisco Gas and Electric
Company has reannounced its inten-
ton to place 100000 worth of orna-
mental poles along the citys main
thoroughfare, each to carry an arc
light
'"This is an assured fact said
Mayor Schmitz yesterday land soon
San Francisco may be proud of the
fact that not even Paris can boast of
thoroughfare so brilliantly lighted
as Market street will be"
Not only will these lights dispel the
darkness of night on Market street,
but the clusters Of incandescents to
be placed by the United Railroads on
each of its trolley poles Will In them
selves constitute a lighting system the
equal of which San Francisco has not
yet known.
Under the ordinance adopted by
the Board of Supervisors granting the
United Railroads permission to con-
vert its cable roads into a trolley sys-
ten the railway company is required
to light Market street from the ferry
to Valencia street and Sutter street
from Market street to Van Ness ave-
nue. Heretofore the city has paid
s36, 600 a year for the lighting of Mar
ket street and about $4,000 a year
for the lights on Sutter street.
The expense of this lighting will
now fall on the United Railroads,
with the result that through the con-
version Of the cable system the city
will save nearly $4,000 a year, or a
total of S1,250,000 curing the twenty
five years life of the franchise of the
street railway company
In view of the extraordinary ex-
penses that will fall on the city dur
ing the reconstruction period, this saw
ing will be of unusual benefit, and
though the treasury may be depleted
at times. Market and Satter street.;
will never be in darkness through laci;
of funds with which to meet the de-
mands of the regular lighting compa-
nies.

ABSENT CONSULS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Merchants Need Naues
on Invoices to Dc
Business.

Since the fire the consuls of certain
South American and Central Ameri-
can countries who were stationed at
One or two have removed to Oakland
and others are in either Mill Valley.
Alameda or Berkeley. BY the exc
quatorS issued by the President of the
United States the consuls were ap-
pointed to San Francisco. Under this
they are not entitled to act legally
at any point except at the port of San
FRANCISCO.
Out Of this situauon complications
have already arisen. A part of the
duty of the consul for a Spanish Amer
lean country is to issue facturas or
invoices before the sailing of ships. In
the absence of the factura the captain
cannot sail As a vessel is due to de-
part for Central American points to-
day there was hot chase to find
consuls to issue the necessary papers
yesterday in which Secretary Furlong
of the Pacific Commercial Museum
and certain exporting houses were
concerned as the sprinters.
The fees. of the consuls are their
principal support. Out of the fees
they pay Office rents and other ex-
penses. The fire destroyed most of
the offices. This is used as an excuse
for absence from this city.
Letters and kilograms have been
sent to the surrounding towns, asking
the consuls to come to the tent in
which the Commercial Museum is do
ing business and to occupy free desk
room there. No response was made
to these appeals satisfactorily with
two exceptions The consuls of Colom-
bia and Ecuador appeared yesterday
and attended to business. Many in
voices were needed. because normal
traffic has been maintained between
San Francisco and the countries south
of California without interruption.
What will happen today, when the
sailing time arrives, must be left to
surmise. Possibly belated consuls will
appear and give thesneeded papers at
the last hour. The consuls of l~exico,
Salvador and Chile have remained IN
this city and no trouble has been ex-
perienced in regard TO exports TO those
countries.
