GOVERNMENT AID
Asked by Delegation Of San Francisco o
Business Men.

Washington.-A delegation of San
Francisco business men In Washington
to enlist government aid for that
stricken city. has called on President
Roosevelt to present TO him their
plans. The delegation was headed by
Senator Flint of California. Franklin
Lane and Judge Morrow, and was ac.
companied TO the White House by sew
eral memberes OF the California CON
sressional delegation.
The delegation went from the
White House to the capitol, where the
members discussed the subject with
senators and representatives.
The city Of San Francisco has is
sued bonds for Sl7.OOO.OOo. About ST.
100000 OF these bonds have been sold
They bear three and one-half per cent
interest.
II is proposed by the delegation that
the secretary OF the treasury accept
the remaining sl3 3.0OO, 900 bonds as Sc
curity for national bank deposits. This
VIII relieve the situation in San Fran
cisco materially. The proposition ap-
peals strongly to both the President
and Secretary Shaw. II already has
been considered by the President and
secretary Of the treasury and may be
accepted.
Another plan suggested by the dele
CATION Is that the government loan
SlO.OOO,OOO TO the people OF San Fran
cisco on the security of clearing
house banks of the city, the loan 10
extend for ten years. Assurance Is
given by the delegation that the prin
oipal and interest will be met promptly
and that the government cannot lose d
dollar by the transaction.
The money Is to be used In proyid
ing suitable shelter for homeless citi
Zen3 before next winter. The money
1t is suggested. would be handled by
the clearing house banks of San Fran
cisco on Just such security as they or
dinarily would accept from patrons. II
would be necessary for Congress to au
thorize such loan. Whether the
President will recommend to Congress
that the necessary legislation be en-
acted has not been determined yet
The President Indicated that he would
take II under consideration.

tions will hear the California relief
committee Thursday morning regard.

restoration OF San Francisco. No
form Of legislation has been introduced
and until the matter takes more def.
mite shape In the way OF recon-
mended proposal. meme is likely to be.
Those who have canvassed the situa-
tion In the House say there will be
difficulty in securing any legislation
for relief. Opposition to,action of this
kind is based on the fear OF future bad
results which may follow the estab.
lishment OF the precedent of extend.

temporary relief OF an afflicted and
