OLD CITY HALL
CORNER FOUND
T -
SAN FRANCISCO, (By Mail)—After
a search of eleven years an official de
eerlption of the lost corner-stone of
San Francisco's old City Hall was
found this morning. It is contained
in a mutilated, fire-scorched, dusty
ledger picked up in the ruins of the
old structure by John D. McDougaid,
city treasurer. The ledger contains
the statements made by S. S. Bamber
ger, an expert accountant.
It is disclosed for the first time that
the corner-stone cost the city $3,778.11.
It contains, among other things, gold
coins valued at $41.50, silver coins of
the value of $3.20, a silver plate and
trowel worth $218.58, rare coins, old
wine and old records and maps.
DIMENSIONS DISCLOSED.
For the first time there will be dis
closed the dimensions of the stone.
It was five feet three inches wide, six
feet long and two feet six inches thick,
the granite costing more than $100
alone.
"I am convinced now” said Treas
urer McDougaid, “that the corner
stone lias been stolen. It seems im
possible that such a huge piece of
granite could have been overlook id.
The value of the articles :n the corner
stone certainly .seems sufficient i.ituce
ment for someone to have stolen the
sfone.”

operative institution of the farmers
of that vicinity who have success
fully marketed their products in
this way for several years and in
this manner they have been able to
give the public as direct as possible
the best butter fresh and unmixed
at a better profit to themselves and
less to the consumer. Our price
per 2 pound brick $1.35.

entries in the ledger bearing on the
installation of the old corner-stone.
LAID - IN 1872
They disclose that the stone was laid
on February 22, 1872. While Messrs.
Kallooh, Dunn and Murphy were the
City Hall Commissioners. Robert
George was the secretary to the Com
mission at that time anti received a
salary of $150 a month. Brigham
Hawes was the contractor who laid
the corner-stone.
Mayor Ralph, Timothy Reardon,
head of the Board of Public Works,
the Bureau of Architects and scores
ef other city officials have been Hook
ing for the old City .Hall corner-stone
for many months and have employed
many investigators to try to find a
clew to it. Until today, however, they
have discovered nothing definite, and
they have been further perplexed by
the fact that the old City Hall was a
circular structure, and it was difficult
to find the angle where a "corner
stone" could be laid.
