In 1846 war was declared by the United States on Mexico and on July 9, 1848, Capt. John B. Montgomery of the United States Navy arrived in the sloop-of-war "Portsmouth" and raised the American flag in what is now Portsmouth Square; thus without great excitement San Francisco passed from Spanish to Mexican and finally American rule.
San Francisco's greatest excitement perhaps came with the discovery of gold in 1848. People rushed here by every known mode of transportation and in thousands. The population increased steadily and the port became the most important on the Pacific Coast, which position it has steadily maintained.
Because of the number of lawless individuals during the fifties, the citizens organized the Vigilance Com- mittee and after a short campaign succeeded in ridding the city of the law breakers.

SAN FRANCISCO-THE CITY OF HOSPITALITY
GOVERNMENT-San Francisco has a combined City and County Government functioning as a Mu- nicipal Corporation, which began January 8, 1932, to operate under a new Charter (Freeholders). Under this new Charter the Legislative Powers are vested in a Board of Supervisors consisting of 11 members. The Administrative Powers are vested in a Mayor and a Chief Administrative Officer, the latter appointed by the Mayor. The people elect the Mayor, Assessor, Treasurer, Sheriff, Public Defender, Supervisors, District Attorney, City Attorney, Municipal and Superior Court Judges and the members of the Board of Education.
The salary of the Mayor is $10,000 per year and the major Departments under him include the Police, Fire. Park, Recreation, and Library, the Art Commission, the Utilities Commission, Civil Service Commis- sion, and City Planning Commission.
The Chief Administrative Officer, appointed by the Mayor, receives a salary of $12,000 a year and has under him the following Departments: Departments of Finance and Records, Purchasing, Real Estate, Department of Public Works, Department of Electricity, Street Traffic Advisory Board, Department of Pub- lic Health, County Welfare Department, Coroner's Office, Horticultural Inspection Department, and Depart- ment of Weights and Measures.
The Controller is responsible to the Mayor and is appointed by him subject to the confirmation and approval of the Board of Supervisors.
HARBOR AND COMMERCE-Centered in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Francisco is an important port of general commerce, handling a large and valuable domestic and foreign trade. It is the main gateway of commerce for the vast territory of the Central Pacific Coast Area and Intermountain States. The Bay extends from the Golden Gate to the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers on the northeast, and to a point near San Jose on the south, covering an area of 450 square miles. The deep-water commerce enters San Francisco Bay through the Golden Gate, which is but one mile wide, thus affording natural pro- tection from the ocean to the waters of the San Francisco Bay. To this has been added the most compre- hensive docking and berthing facilities, rail and freight connections, modern and well-equipped warehouses, etc. San Francisco harbor has 17 miles of berthing space and this is constantly being added to; there are 8,122.524 square feet of cargo area, with a capacity of 2,030.600 tons of cargo; 43 modern piers; facilities to dock the largest vessels ; seven drydocks ; 160 spur tracks ; 66 miles of harbor trackage connecting piers and warehouses ; car capacity for 3600 cars ; 42 cranes, derricks and aerials.
The harbor is controlled by the State of California and is governed by a board of harbor commissioners appointed by the Governor. Of the 43 piers, most of them are assigned to steamship companies having their own fleets and operating their own schedules. San Francisco harbor facilities are valued at $100.000.000.
The water-borne commerce of San Francisco has trebled since pre-war days and now ranks second of all ports in the United States and 50 per cent above any other Pacific Coast port. San Francisco, according to the U. S. Department of Commerce, at the close of 1935 ranked sixth among the 48 custom districts of the U. S. in the value of imports and exports, exceeding all other Pacific Coast ports.

San Francisco is also the ocean port for the great inland empire of California, 500 miles in length, 50 miles wide and containing 16,100,000 acres of irrigable land, 5,000,000 acres of which is under irrigation. Approxi- mately 33 per cent of the tonnage of the port is received from points on the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, which drain a large portion of the "back country."

PARKS-San Francisco is noted for its beautiful and extensive parks. There are 45 parks and 58 play- grounds, with a total acreage of 3268; others are under development. In addition to the municipal parks, the several government reservations, the largest of which is the Presidio, comprising 1542 acres, all go toward augmenting the aggregate area of the city parks. The area given does not include the numerous golf courses in and about the city. More than $15,000,000 has been expended on municipal parks since 1870. All of San Francisco's parks are "man-made." Originally only sand dunes marked the spots where today are gardens of rarest flowers, shrubs and giant trees. Even lakes, streams, waterfalls, hills, valleys and dales were worked out by man, to say nothing of the miles of walks, bridle paths and boulevards traversing the parks. Golden Gate Park is one of the world's most noted playgrounds. It comprises 1013 acres and is about 3 miles long and a half-mile wide, extending from Stanyan street on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west and lics in the midst of San Francisco's choice residential districts.
In the park are many museums, monuments, an aviary, acquarium, music temple, stadium, tennis courts, baseball grounds, football grounds, trotting and pacing horse track, athletic field and running track pad- docks, and children's playgrounds. There are more than 25 miles of improved driveways in the park. Wild animals of many species are to be seen, while every bird and squirrel known to California roams or flies at will through the dense woods and shrubbery. At the western end of the park is to be seen the sloop "Gjoa," the only vessel that ever navigated the Northwest Passage, and which was given to San Francisco by its owner and explorer, Captain Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole also; the gift was accepted by San Francisco June 16, 1909. The ship was hauled upon the beach and is protected by a high iron fence.
SOCIAL-San Francisco has upward of 294 churches representing many denominations and 864 listed societies, clubs, lodges, and fraternal groups, including Literary, Historical, Military, Religious, Sporting, Miscellaneous and Foreign. The cosmopolitan character of the city is reflected in the diversification of these groups and in the congregation of the churches, which include English, German, Italian, Spanish, Scandinavian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Indians.
There is a variety of interesting and unusual events constantly taking place, lectures, concerts, readings, recitals, Symphony Orchestra, and special exhibits of drawing, painting, sculpture and other art material, and many are free, or admission very nominal. Two public art galleries are always open, and several, semi- public, offer changing collections.
There are a number of libraries both public and private in character. There are 470,467 volumes in the city library.
The Municipal Auditorium, seating 12,000 and containing a magnificent organ, is in use for a variety of events daily throughout the year. The Civic Opera House and War Memorial Building have been recently completed, providing a home for Opera, the Symphony and a permanent War Relics Museum. San Fran- cisco is the first city in the Nation to have a Civic Opera House.

EXPLANATIONS
In the following list the streets are arranged in alphabetical order.
According to the method adopted in this city for numbering buildings, Market Street is the starting point for numbers on all streets running from it in a northerly, southerly or westerly direction, and the water front for all streets running therefrom in a westerly or southwesterly direc- tion. The numbers on all streets not commencing at Market Street or the water front run in conformity with the numbers of the main streets run- ning parallel with them, except in the case of a few streets which are numbered in an irregular manner.
On all streets between the water front and Central Avenue the even numbers are on the right-hand side, and the odd numbers on the left, starting from the point of beginning. Beyond Central Avenue most of the streets have been numbered in a contrary manner. One hundred numbers, or as many thereof as are necessary, are allotted to each block bounded by main streets: for instance, Montgomery Street commences at Market, and the main streets crossing as you proceed north are Sutter, Bush, Pine, etc. Therefore, any numbers between 1 and 100 will be found on the right or left-hand side of the street between Market and Sutter, between 100 and 200 from Sutter to Bush, between 200 and 300 from Bush to Pine.
In the streets which are numbered, a dash (-) indicates that the cross street does not extend to that side; (o), the street borders on the bay, or public park, cemetery, etc., consequently there are no buildings on blocks thus designated; (c), the street is not opened through the block, or 13 Interrupted in its course at that point by a public square, cemetery, etc .; (e), end of street.
