francisco. To impress more particularly
upon his hearers the fact that this city
is sDlendidly endowed by nature he
quoted the enthusiastic criticism OF San
francisco made by the great architect.
Bernard Mr.. Sbarboro then described
some of the adorned world-famous cities
~ The Old World. adding that nature has
done more for san Francisco than man
has done for the Old World. and all the
people Of the city must do is 10 contribute
SIS mite.
In the proposed scheme Of municipal i'm
provement the workmen viii be the first
81 not, he said. by any means a new one.
The fear that politicians viii sQuander
flo Ie0ple's money has passed. A new
government and honestA officials are
pledges OF a new era. The speaker then
discussed IN detailed advocacy the eXten-
sion OF the park panhandle and It's con-
uccuon by a boulevard with the Preside.
This viii mean a material benefit TO every
foot of ground in the city. So with new
buildings: they VIII be a boon to the
present generation and a precious heri-
tage 70 generations 10 come.
