It might also be said that the Company's first general office was located in Nevada City, the office of the Cayote and Deer Creek Water Company, and it was here in the ornate National Hotel against whose bar once leaned founders of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Eugene De Sabla, John Martin andothers, who undoubtedly transacted considerable business which played an important. part in the formation of the P,G, &E, It was in Nevada County that Eugene J. De Sabla, Jr., together with a Cornish miner, Alfonso Tregidgo, incorporated the Nevada Connty Electric Power Company on September 22, 1892. In 1895 Eugene De Sabla was joined by John Martin who contracted for the installation of the electrical equipment. At that time Mr. Martin was representing the Stanley Electric Manufacturing Company, which was later merged into the General Electric Company, That contract was the instrument which brought De Sabla and Martin together into a re~ markable team, the two men responsible, more than any others, for the creation of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Each has been called the father of the P.G.&E, system. In little more than 10 hectic years they built hydro electric plants, organized one corporation after another, consolidated gas and electric systems, snow -balled their small begifinings into the extensive foundation upon whichthe P,G.&E, structure was raised. It is doubtful that either could have realized fully during those years exactly where they were heading, for from thathumble beginning merged the largest gas and electric utility company in the world today. This hotel is one of the few remaining reminders in this area that marks the beginning of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company and we think it is extremely appropriate that the Wm. Bull Meek and Wm. Morris Stewart Chapter of E Clampus Vitus recognized its historic importance with the dedication of this plaque.
