Cheer Advocates of Bonds.

At Masonic Hall. South San Francisco,
c. II. Mills presided over a largely attend
ed meeting at which Mayor Phelan made
a rousing speech.
There are opponents of the panhandle
extension" said the Mayor, who cry out
that the city should own public institu-
tions first. We have answered this objec-
ton time and again and have shown that
we cannot have everything at once. but
must get them by degrees. There are
still many among us who evidently think
that we should continue in our municipal
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep, and who deprecate
any attempts that may be made TO disturb
those deathly slumbers.
This Is not a question Of luxury, but a
question of necessity. We must have
parks, because parks are very impor-
tant and necessary element in modern
cities If we want to be a modern city
we must grow and we must make our city
attractive. We have big park, but where
is il? Is IL easy of access? Certainly not
1t seems to me that IL is an Insult to an
Intelligent citizen TO ask him to vote for
bonds for the panhandle extension because
every Intelligent citizen must surely be
convinced that IL is now necessity No
matter which way We view the matter
the extension Of the panhandle is a bene-
fit-it will bring our beautiful park TO the
people; II will increase property Values II
will augment business and IL will be n
signal TO the whole world that San Fran
cisco is wide awake"

was In the chair The comfortable little
hall was packed to the door by men who
take an active interest In the progress of
the city's growth. as also Of their own
section. An example OF this interest was
brought forth at tho meeting when Attor-
ney c. r. Kimball. speaking for the eX-
ecutive committee who waited on the
Market street magnates OF the railroad
company. reported that the railroad
authorities more than met the delegates
halfway by sending a gang Of men to
set the conducting electric poles on the
street as requested by the club represcn-
tatives. The same delegates had called on
Mayor Phelan. requesting his aid at such
time as the franchise comes before him
for his approval. To this he assured them
that he was IN favor OF the measure and
would support IL.
For this kindness he received a vote OF
thanks and a promise from the delegates
that the club would unconditionally sup
port the entire bond issue.
The club elected J. BoOdt. A. Y. Craig

BUILDERS FAVOR PANHANDLE
The Exchange Adopts Resolutions
Indorsing Proposed I'm
proVementE

Resolutions favoring the panhandle ex-
tension and the construction OF a new
sewer system were adopted yesterday at
a meeting OF the members of the Builders
Exchange held at the headquarters. 40
New Montgomery street. Mayor Phelan
was the only speaker. He was introduced
by President s. II. Kent OF the Exchange.
who presided over the gathering The
Mayor was warmly received by the gen.
tlemen representing the building trades of
the city. He said that the need of bonds
for a sewer system. new schoolhouses and
hospitals was admitted on all sides, but
that there was some opposition TO the
panhandle extension. This he said came
from body OF men who were relics of
the past. who came 10 this city originally
expecting TO make their fortunes here and
then return to their homes in the East
and who never favored improvements that
would cost anything. The Mayor argued
that everything that in the least degree
benefited the city would naturally benefit
those engaged in the building trades.
At the conclusion OF the address Super
visor-elect l.. J. Dwyer presented resolu-
uons indorsing the improvements advo-
Gated by Mr.. Phelan. The resolutions re
ceived the unanimous support of the
members of the Exchange and were
adopted with considerable enthusiasm.
Similar action was also taken by the
Builders Association at a meeting held
al the headquarters on Bush street, which
was addressed by the Mayor and Jere-
miah MahOney.

Mission Heartily Favors Parks.

Residents Of the Mission give no iudica-
ton of the opposition that is said TO exist
against the panhandle extension in their
locality. Under the auspices of the West
Of Castro Street Improvement Club a
rousing meeting was held at Duveneck
Hall last night, and for over two hours
the audience showed its entire sympathy
with the practical speeches made in favor
Of the issuance of bonds for needed public
improvements.
+. W. Qualman. president Of the club.
acted as chairman, and in few words
expressed his conviction that on Wednes-
day of Christmas week San Francisco
would decide that IL must arouse and take
on a new lease Of better life than II has
hitherto experienced.
Judge Cooney, in referring TO the COM
mendable work of the late Frank McCop-
pin ia helping 10 acquire Golden Gate
Park, said that monument 10 his mem
ory should be erected at the Van Ness en-
trance 10 the new panhandle.
There was five times the opposition 10
the purchase of Golden Gate Park there
is to-day TO the extension of the pan
handle" said he, but we know how veil
those early promoters saw the necessities
of the day in which we are living. II YOU
think there is no need TO make this city
more attractive. go to the ferries at the
close of business on any day OF the week
and you will see thousands Of people leav-
ing San Francisco and going TO their
homes. And where are their homes? In
San Rafael, Oakland. Alameda. Berkeley
and San Mateo. All these people should
live in San Francisco. where they derive
their incomes. but they will not do so as
long as they can find better homestes IN
the towns around the bay. These thou
sands of people are not of any benefit 10
this city. but are a decided detriment, for
they bring nothing here and they lake
much away. They would never take these
long uncomfortable and expensive trips
morning and night II they would be as
well accommodated where they do their
business.
Judge Lemme made a strong argument
in favor of the park system. and said that
II the park bonds are defeated IL may
mean the defeat Of all the bonds This
measure is not a local measure, but is a
matter Of concern TO the whole city" said
Der q there will be a three-fourths vote
in favor Of bonds, instead of the neces-
sary two-thirds."
Judge A. w. Thompson said lawyers
tried TO get at the meat Of case and 10
waste no time over points that are con-
ceded Last Sunday" said he lat a
public debate everybody conceded that
this IS a good time TO issue bonds for
sewers, for schools and for proper hos
pital. Yet there are some people woo
oppose bonds for parks. These are the
men who are not anxious TO show the
world that San Francisco has entered
upon a new era of progress"
Major McKenna said that a year ago,
when the bosses were In control. IL would
have been suicide TO vote for bonds to
supply Doodle for thieves. Now" he de-
clared "it Is not only safe. but duty,
10 vote for all the bonds
Charles A. Sweigert also spoke in favor
of all the bonds.

considered so slim that ne Is no longer

Speculation regarding the Board OF
Health has been revived by the general
report that DR. Thomas Shumate and Dr.
Paul Cox would be called upon by the
Mayor 10 assist Drs. Williamson and
Bazet IN that body. Both are well known
ana their appointment would give general

AS the time approaches for the bond
elections the progressive element declares
that its fight is won, and that all the
bonds will secure far more than the nee
essary two-thirds vote. The doubt that
might have existed a few weeks ago in
regard TO the panhandle extension ap-
pears 10 have entirely vanished and
Mayor Phelan has stated that even the
organized strength of the opposition will
avail nothing on either December q or 90

the city by the Improvement clubs. At
