STREET IMPROVEMENTS .- A very large amount of work was done during the past year upon the public streets and in the construction of sewers. Of sewers, the total length constructed between July 1st, 1856, and July 1st, 1875, a period of nineteen years, was 392,709 feet, or seventy-four miles. During the last fiscal year, there were built of all kinds 74,125 feet, a little more than fourteen miles, or one-fifth of the entire work accom- plished in twenty years.
The expenditures on street work, including sewers, for the fiscal year was as follows:
Grading
$295,133 63
Paving, Planking and Macademizing 269,165 83
Side-walks, Cross-walks and Curbs 179,365 23

SAN FRANCISCO CITY DIRECTORY.
Square stone blocks are coming into very general use in this city, for paving the most crowded thoroughfares and streets subjected to the wear produced by the heaviest loads. This material gives better satisfaction than any other yet experimented with. The amount of street improvements during 1876 is largely in excess of any previous year, and the character of the work generally superior.
MUNICIPAL LICENCES .- During the last fiscal year Municipal Licenses were issued as follows:

As the licenses in the above list are taken out for quarterly periods, it follows that each of the above numbers represent four times the average number of persons engaged in each occupation. Thus the city has 4,815 merchants, 257 banks and brokers, 129 billiard tables, 29 auctioneers, 10 bowling alleys, 26 pawn brokers, 18 intelligence offices, 1,944 innkeepers or bar-rooms, and many thousands engaged in occupations not classified.
During the year 34,439 persons paid poll-tax at two dollars per head, 7,989 persons paid at three dollars per head, and twenty-one persons at four dollars.
There were 1,566 certificates of citizenship issued, being an increase of 1,222 over the previous year.
The number offmarriage licenses issued was 2,464, an increase of 201 over the previous year.
The number of deeds placed upon record in the office of the Recorder is 6,484, of mort- gages, 2,706, and of releases, 1,778.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS .- The large number of commodious school buildings erected dur- ing the year 1875 supplied to so great an extent the needs of the department for accommoda- tions that comparatively little additional was required during the past year. The Depart- ment at the present writing owns sixty buildings, of which fifty-six are in use. It is also found necessary to secure the use of twenty-six rooms, by temporary rental at a cost of $11,097 per annum. The cost of construction for the year was $133,422 40.

It is proper to state that in the San Francisco Post Office, a relatively larger number of boxes are retained than in Eastern cities. The system of free delivery by carriers has always been opposed by a portion of the community, though experience has shown its convenience, and demonstrated that fewer losses occur than by the old box system.

While the above tables show a most remarkable increase in the business of the city- as the amount of mail matter handled is a certain index of the business of any locality- it illustrates still more strongly the development of the free-delivery system. It will be seen that the aggregate of mail matter handled by carriers is over eight times as much as in 1870, while the number of men employed to deliver and collect this matter has only been increased from 17 to 42. The number of packages handled by each carrier in 1876 was more than three times the number handled by each carrier in 1870.
CLIMATE OF SAN FRANCISCO .- The tables annexed are from the records of Mr. Thomas Tennent, kept by him since 1849. They give the Rain Table, with the number of rainy days in each month and season, from 1865 to 1877 ; a table of mean temperature for each month and year ; and also tables showing the extremes of heat and cold during the same period, which will be sufficient to give a very fair idea of our climate. The standard ther- mometers with which the observations are made, are placed in position to face the north, and be perfectly free from the influence of any direct or reflected heat. It will be seen by reference to these tables, that the average yearly temperature of San Francisco during the period indicated, is 50° 3'. The hottest day was in June, 1876, when the thermometer reached 95 degrees. The lowest point indicated was at daylight on the morning of De- cember 28th, 1867-20 degrees ; but these evtremes occur so seldom as to be considered remarkable. The general routine of the seasons is as follows; Commencing with the rainy season, which generally sets in fairly during November, continues through December, abating somewhat in January, during which month we are apt to have some frosty weather; February, March and April are pleasant with occasional showers and a few hot days; in May the sea breeze begins with moderation, and continues more briskly during June, July and August, moderating in September, during which month the warmest weather usually occurs, extending sometimes into October.
