provision be made for the holding OF at least
one term OF the United States District and

at San Francisco only. In short, the COM
mittee seem disposed to make the same sort
of provision for the benefit Of Southern Cali
fornia in regard 10 these Courts that has been
made by the State Of California in regard to
its Supreme Court.
