One year is the time set by the construction department of the San Francisco city government for the complete installation of the auxiliary fire protection system in that city, for which $1.000.000 worth of bonds have been sold and $4,500,000 more await the supervisor’s action, computing from the date when the work is begun. Assistant City Engineer Connick, of San Francisco, states that the beginning of winter a year hence should see the system at least 85 per cent. done, and possibly, nearer completion than that. Bids for the two fireboats and for many of the proposed fire-cisterns will be called for immediately, and a regular schedule has been laid out by the city engineer’s office for the sue cessive submission of different parts of the system to bidding. The supervisors and the city engineers have the virtual assurance that San Francisco’s fire-insurance bill will be reduced more than $1,000,000 a year upon the completion of the auxiliary system. In this way the system can be relied noon to pay for itself in three years. The engineer's office proposes to crowd the work on the fire protection pipes, in order to save the money lost in insurance premiums.
