One ot the principal decorative fea
tures of the new city hall In San Fran-
Cisco was to have been a great white
metal angel, with outspread wings,
poised on the top of the big dome. This
angel has been the subject of much
crabbed controversy between the gruff
mayor, Mr. Sutro, and tbe commission
ers. The mayor criticised the angel
severely and rather ridiculed the whole
thing. But tbe big angel was at last
finished and ready for hoisting to Its
place on the dome. Then it was dlscov-
erea that us wings offered too much
sail space and that they would un
doubtedly in the first high wind pull
tbe angel down from Its perch. The
shoulder blades were too narrow for the
wings to be properly braced. So the
wings were sawed off and a wingless
angel will surmount the dome. Ex

levels have been run, one at seventy

fissure is four feet wide with a pay
streak along the west wall, varying in
width from a few inches to four feet,
with an average of about eight inches.
