Mayor Phelan and the Bond Issue.


Mayor Phelan of San Francisco has gener-
ally been right in the positions he has taken
since he was elected TO his present Office, and
he has been supported by the majority senti-
ment. But The CALL seems to have him at a
disadvantage when it criticiZes him for pro-
posing TO issue bonds to pay current expenses,
because the departments have not been suffi-
ciently provided for by the so-called doIla r
rate, which is really 81 Is. As THE CALL say s.
"When city issues bonds to pay current ex-
penses i. raises a signal of distress VIII ich de-
notes it among municipalities" This is true
but the fault is rather that of the persons who
insist upon dollar-ra te pledge than on Mayor
Phelan, who is the victim and not the author
OF that declaration.
