 committee. It being estimated that the city has suffered a loss of at least $2O0, 900 900 by fire. it is conceded that there is not sufficient money in San Francisco to reconstruct the city, and that the people must look elsewhere for funds to rehabilitate their destroy ed fortunes.
 MT. Phelan said that if the money is borrowed through ordinary channels, the rate of interest will add a burden to the necessarily increased taxation that will be too heavy to bear. The plan of MT. Phelan is to frame legis- lation to be presented to congress, asking the United States to endorse the proposed bonds of San Francisco. With this guarantee of the government the city will be able to go into the financial markets of tae world and borrow the needed money at 2 or ? 1-2 per cent, the bonds to run for 50 years and constitute mortgage on the best portion of the city. MT. Phelan as- serted that such action would not be new in congress. It is by virtually such measures that the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific railroads were built and more recently, by like legis- lation the railroads in the Philippines became assured to the people of the islands.
