INSTALLS A BULWARk
OF ARMOR PLATE
First National Bank Will Have
Most Modern Burglar
Proof Vaults

The latest step in the direction of
rendering a vault absolutely burglar
proof and freproof has been taken by
the First national bank of this city.
This institution at the present time is
installing in it's new building at the
corner of Montgomery and Post streets
vaults consisting of the same thick
ness of steel as is used in the con-
Struction of modern battleships. The
First national bank will have two steel
vaults, one in which to keep it's cash
and specie and the other for safety de-
posits.
These vaults represent the fruits of
years of experimenting and are mas
terpieces. Each of the sides and the
floor and ceiling is in one piece OF
steel, three and half inches thick,
and so hardened that the hardest and
sharpest drills are turned without their
making any impression on the plate,
The various pieces of the vault are
ingeniously placed together in a series
of grooves, the ceiling, when placed in
position, forming the key which holds
position. The smallest of the plates
weighs little more than IL tons. The
steel will be encaSed in a jacket of
concrete two feet in thickness, and
on the exterior of this will be a casing
of brick. Marble slabs will form the
outer covering.
Under severe tests the tensile
strength of the armor plate has been
found to be $4,000 pounds to the square
inch. and six inch projectile has
failed to pierce the plate.

.fINANCIERS SHOW
THEIR CONFIDENCE
Give Every indication of Belief
of Great Future for San .
Francisco
Municipal Improvement Bonds
Are Snapped Up by Local
Money Owners

No stronger indication of the conf
dence among San Francisco's leading g
financial and commercial institutions in
the present administration and the
city's future has been apparent than
the purchase recently made of S12, 800
worth Of municipal Improvement bonds
by property owners along Montgomery
street between Market street and Pa
cifie avenue. The purchase has been
made to insure the immediate COM
mencement of work of repaving and
improving Montgomery street to Pa
cific avenue.
Following the action of their Mont
gomery street neighbors Sansome
street property owners have been sub
scribing their names to petition
agreeing to purchase $25,000 In munic-
ipal bonds for similar purpose, which
will provide for the speedy improve
ment of Sansome street from Market to
Jackson street. The bonds have been
eagerly sought by Sansome street pur-
chasers, including the Painter estate,
Fireman's fund insurance company,
Bank of California. Mutual life insur-
ance company, Angio-Californian bank,
Alaska Commerciar building company,
the Crocker estate and others.
The total purchase after the San
some street transaction has been closed
will amount to $4,000 in X per cent
bonds payable to the bearer. The
Montgomery street property owners
through Edgar Painter of the North
Central Improvement association pur-
chased the $12,500 in bonds Wednesday
from City Treasurer John McDougal.
1t expected that the Sansome street
deal will be consummated within a few
days. Shortly after the bonds were de-
livered to Painter Wednesday a con-
tract for the Improvement of Mont
gomery street was filed with the city
auditor and within eight days the work
will begin.
