The bonds issued for the opening and improvement of Montgomery Avenue, and for the widening of Dupont Street, are not included in the table of funded debt. The former amount to $1,579,000, bear six per cent. interest, and are redeemable in thirty years; and the latter $1,000,000, bear seven per cent., and are redeemable in twenty years. The property directly benefited by both improvements is pledged for their payment.
The receipts into the Treasury of San Francisco for the year ending June 30, 1878, were $4,808,887. Expenditures same period, $5,156,224. Of the former the apportionment to the State was $1,465, 575.
For the year ending June 30, 1878, the following amounts were paid for the support of the different departments of the Municipal Government: Salaries, City and County Officers, $497,- 077; Police, $262,066; Fire (including Fire Alarm Telegraph, erection of hydrants, and all

The number of salaried employees connected with the Municipal Government exceeds eleven hundred, who receive for salaries annually an aggregate of over one million three hundred thousand dollars.
The Special Fee Fund for 1877-8 aggregated $209,699, of which the Recorder returned $42,835.25; the County Clerk, $60,712; the Sheriff, $29,694; the Tax Collector, $17,052, and the Clerk of the Justices' Courts, $21,283. The amount received from poll taxes was $69,514.
Insurance.
On January 1, 1878, there were one hundred and nine, of which seven are California companies, fire and marine insurance companies transacting business in California, and twelve life insurance companies carrying on a general business. In addition, two life insurance companies were collecting renewal premiums. Policies of fire and marine insurance to the amount of $315,745,811.03 were written during the year; the premiums received were $4,902, - 855.87; and the losses paid, $1,483,124.06. The seven California companies wrote $79,374,092, or about twenty-five per cent. of the whole. The paid-up cash capital of the California companies is $2,070,000. During the year eleven additional fire and marine and seven life have been admitted, and eight fire and marine have ceased to do business within the State. It will be seen that the percentage of losses is but twenty-six per cent. of the premiums received.
Meteorological Observations made at San Francisco, from November, 1850, to January, 1879.
BY HENRY GIBBONS, M. D.
In the following tables the reader will find, in a condensed form, the results of twenty- eight years' diligent observation of the climate of San Francisco, with more particular reference to rain.
Rain has fallen in every month of the year. In July it has rained only in two years; August has furnished rain in five years; June in eight years; September in thirteen years; October in sixteen years. No account is made of a mere sprinkle, nor of the deposit of sum- mer mist. The greatest quantity of mist which ever falls in twenty-four hours is about three hundredths of an inch. But this quantity is very rare. Near the ocean the mist is much more copious.
The driest season was 1850-51, which gave only seven inches. Next to that was 1863-64, with eight and one half inches. The winter of 1867-68 gave the most rain-forty inches. The average is between twenty-one and twenty-two inches.
The earliest setting in of the rainy season was October 8; the latest, January 12. An early beginning and an abundant supply are apt to go together, but there is no rule in this respect- the latest beginnings have been followed by an average supply.
The average date of the beginning of the rainy season is November 28; of the termination, April 10. March is as certain to bring rain in liberal amount as any other month. In one year out of every three there is no rain of importance after March. The last showers of the season come, with remarkable uniformity, about the third week of May.
The middle of January is the average dividing point of the rainy season. The mean quan- tity before January 1 is about equal to the mean quantity after January 31.
December gives the greatest average quantity; January is not far behind; February, March, and November come next, and are nearly alike; then April, May, and October, in the order named.
The greatest amount of rain in any one month was in January, 1862, when there fell the enormous quantity of eighteen inches.
The most extraordinary summer rain was in June, 1875, when 1.11 inches fell during a southerly storm which lasted several days. That this was an anomaly is made apparent by the fact that in the three summer months during twenty-eight years the whole quantity of rain, collectively, deducting this, was only 1.9 inches.
It is worthy of note that in the driest seasons there has been an abundant supply for agri- cultural purposes, had it been distributed evenly. Three inches in December, with one inch in each of the four following months, would produce full crops.
The rain table of San Francisco may be made the basis for estimating the fall in other parts of the State. The mountains of the north have from two to three times as much, and the southern section of the State about half as much, or even less in some localities. The valley of the Sacramento has nearly the same quantity as San Francisco; that of the San Joaquin one fourth, or one third less, the quantity diminishing southward.
By reference to the tables showing the extremes of heat and cold, it appears that the coldest weather was in January, 1854, when the mercury fell to 25°. At that time the mud in the streets was frozen solid, and the shallow ponds were covered with ice strong enough for boys to skate on. But such weather is extremely rare, though since that time the ground has been frozen several times so as not to thaw fully in the shade for several days. The coldest noonday embraced in the record was 37°. Often the entire winter passes by without bringing the ther- mometer so low as the freezing point. In 1853 it fell at no time below 40°.

The extreme of heat was on the tenth and eleventh of September, 1852, when the thermom- eter reached 97° and 98° on the two days, respectively. This, however, was entirely excep- tional, and might not occur again in half a century; the air was dry as a sirocco, and caused the woodwork of houses to crackle and the plaster to break on the wooden walls.
With the exception just noted, the hottest day was June 11, 1877-94°. Next come July 6, 1867, and June 12, 1876-93°. The temperature reached 91° on six days, viz : Once in Octo- ber, 1864, once in September, 1865, once in June, 1872. once in June, 1877, and twice in Sep- tember, 1877. In July, 1865, it was 90°. It appears therefore, that there were but twelve days in twenty-seven years, when the temperature reached 90°.
The table of mean temperature shows that our summer does not come till the summer months have passed by. September is the warmest month in the year, and October next; then comes August ; July, the hottest month elsewhere, is the fourth here, or links with June; next come April and May; then March and November; then February, and, finally, January and Decem- ber, which are the only winter months, if indeed we have any weather that deserves the name of winter.
Twice the ground has been covered with snow. On the twenty-ninth of December, 1856, it snowed very fast for several hours, and two or three inches gathered, but it melted before night. On the twelfth of January, 1868, it snowed fast before day, so that two inches collected. But it disappeared before sunrise, so that few persons enjoyed the rare spectacle.
The extraordinary evenness of the climate depends on the adjacent ocean, the water of which, flowing in a current from the north, is always at a temperature of about 54°, summer and winter. The sea breeze of summer, which chills the air at noonday, leaves no place for hot nights. There is not, on an average, one night in the year when it is warm enough to sit out of doors at midnight with comfort.
