MONEY AND CREDIT.
Pressing Needs Of San Francisco Fl.
nance Committee.

San Francisco.-James d. Phelan,
chairman of the municipal finance
committee, Sunday gave the following
statement to the press:
1.-THE demands upon the finance com.
mittee are very great and We do not
see how we can meet them If the pres
ent conditions continue. There Is no
money in circulation. The banks are
closed because they do not dare open
their heated vaults, and when they do
open them they will probably pay out
slowly, as they realize upon their as
sets. They expect next week to cash
the checks OF wellknown customers to
the extent OF $500 each. That meas
ure will help in small degree the re-
sumption of business. There is suf-
ficient food supply in sight for the
present. But the great problem for us
is how to provide for the absolutely
destitute, for the sick, the old, the chill
dren and all other dependent persons.
"The means Of support Of the hos
pitals, orphans, religious and char
table associations of all kinds are alb
solutely cut of, The local Red Cross
estimate that $1,000 per day is neces-
sary for the hospitals. They say 1t
will take years to set the hospitals on
their feet. We are formulating a plan
to present to our committee by which
more credit can be secured for the re-
habitation of our workers, our institu
tions and the rebuilding Of our city.
Everybody is willing to work and to
make necessary sacrifices, II the tools,
as II were. were put iIrn their hands
to Ie.establish the economic and So
oial conditions which prevailed before
the fire.
I'VE need large sums of money at
low rates of interest. Such moneys
would be amply secured and, as in the
case Of Chicago, give us a new city
and give to every body the means OF
resuming their ordinary vocations in
life with the promise of an abundant
reward for their steadiastness, within
a period of less than five years.
Everybody is hopeful and couraG'
eous and the prosperous communities
of the United States will, we are sure,
answer cur call for help. Their spon'
taneous and generous aid has deeply
touched the hearts of our people"

Enalish Canal BuiIdinq.

A royal commission has been ap-
pointed to consider the advisability OF
opening up the numerous canals which
extend all over England like veri-
table network. Most of these canals
In modern years have been put out of
use deliberately by railway companies
who have acquired them for the ex-
press purposes of closing them up. Up
ward Of i0.00O.000 tons of goods were
carried on English canals last year;
but II Is stated that were all the canals
opened three times this amount could
have been transported. The royal com.
mission is to investigate and report
on the entire subject OF English rail
way canals, and the new government
is following Compbell.Bannerma $
lead when he recently said: Few
things are more capable of benefiting
both town and country than the deve..
opment OF our system of canals. II
will facilitate transit. open markets
and bring town and country together.
