MISSION DOLORES.

There is a probability that the new
Mission Dolores church will be con-
structed in the mission style, in ac-
cordance with the early ecclesiastical
traditions of California and in pious
memory of the founders of San Fran
cisco. The brick building at the cor
ner of Dolores and Sixteenth streets
has been so damaged that it will have
TO be entirely demolished, but much of
the material is available for a new
cdifice. notably the bricks and the iron
roof orders Most of this can be
utilized in a new structure on entirely
different lines from the present build
ing and in harmony with its historic
the old Mission Dolores
church. that is an object of pilgrimage

At meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce trustees yesterday afternoon
the question f finance was discussed
The Promotion Committee came in for
a good share of the discussion, friends
of that organization presenting state
ment to the effect that an investigation
shows that the Chamber of Commerce
is morally responsible for the main
tenance Of the Promotion Committee
until June 80, 1907. The friends of the
Promotion Committee stated that the
Promotion Committee had more claim
upon the revenues derived from the
wharfage tax than the militia.
AS a result an effort may be made
to obtain subscriptions to satisfy both
organizations until the legislature
meets.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
That $500 be paid to the militia out
of the funds of the chamber and wharf
tax as soon as possible and the balance
be raised by public subscription to
make up the sum of $1,000 promised.
