GOOD NEWS FOR
DEP0SITORS OF THE
MARKET STREET BANK

The announcement made by the Mar
ket Street Bank to the public in anoth-
er column, wherein 1t is stated that ar
rangements are being perfected for
the reopening for general business of
the Market Street Bank in few days
comes as welcome news to both de-
positors and the business world.
The plan of resumption contem-
plates the issuance to depositors Of
bonds in denominations of ten dollars
and upward bearing 5 per cent interest,
secured by and to be a. first lien upon
all the assets of the bank, which are
claimed to exceed the liabilities to de-
positors by 2k times their value.
The bonds are being as freely accepted
as the president, A. F. Martel, can sign
them.
This plan, while affording the depos-
itor every possible guarantee of re-
ceiving 100 cents on the dollar. obvi-
ates the appointment of a receiver,
and thus saves to the bank an enorm-
Gus expense that would otherwise be
entailed.

Morton is now in Los Angeles. In an
interview few days ago he said that

this profitable field. Morton added

future.
Notification of this was received
yesterday, with the addition state
nlent that if Morton was favorably
impressed a sum which may reach
s10.00o.0O0 would be placed in San

In addition to the loans made by the
savings banks. the Stanford estate has
placed great deal of money in San
Francisco and will lend more from

The entrance of the Equitable in this
field, tits believed, will give new stimu-
lus to the building industry.

BR|TTON TO HEAR
OF IS CENT GAS
Man Who CIam0rs for Rise in
Price Will Be Referred to
Competitor

When John A. Britton of the San
Francisco gas and electric company
next appears before the board of su-
pervisors 10 urge that the rate for
Illuminating gas be raised from S5
cents to 81 per 1000 feet. he will be
confronted not only with the figures
of his own company published in an
eastern financial paper, but with the
figures of opposition companies as well
While the San Francisco gas COM
pany is asking for the higher rate, the
Metropolitan light and power company
of this city. of which Leopold Michels
is president, is selling gas at IS cents
per 1000 feet, and even less. The Met
ropolitan is not as large a company as
the San Francisco gas and electric
company, but it is said to be free from
the entanglements which have created
the big bonded Indebtedness which
Britton's corporation carries.
With a plant costing $2,000,000 the
Metropolitan is able to manufacture
1900, 900 feet of gas a day. The San
Francisco gas and electric makes about
100000 feet day, but its stocks and
bonds reach a total far out of proper
ton TO its capacity. 1t is on this ex-
cess capitalization which 1t desires to
collect from the San Francisco public
1t is true that the company faces
higher oil. more expensive piping, and
higher prices for brick, gravel and
similar material, but 1t is argued that
this is more than offset by the growth
of the company's business.
When the Metropolitan light and
power company entered the local field
it announced IS cent gas, and on this
basis gained a large clientele. It
has grown TO the point where the Metro
politan is now serving 5000 customers.
In order to fight the Metropolitan, the
San Francisco gas and electric put
its price down in certain localities TO
25 cents per 1000 when its rival first
came upon the field. 1t was realized.
however. that the % cent rate could
not be permanent and few customers
were obtained on this basis. The busi-
ness of the Metropolitan has been built
UP and maintained on a rs cent basis.
A comparison with other large cities
shows that the local rate is higher
than that which generally prevails San
Francisco enjoys the advantage of
handy fuel. Although it is true that
oil has advanced in price, it is still
much cheaper as a fuel than the coal
which was formerly used in the manu-
facture of gas.
