MISSION ASSOCIATION
INDORSES BOND ISSUE
Plan for Fire Protection Upheld
After a Spirited De-
hate

After discussion on the proposed
bond issue lasting more than three
hours Monday night the Mission pro-
motion association went on record as
favoring the bonds by passing reso-
luton to that effect after much spirit
ed argument.
Among those who spoke in favor OF
the bond issue were Supervisors Cen
ter and Broderick, Matt /. sullivan and
James Rolph. president of the associa-
tion.
The anti-bond speakers argued be-
fore the association that the Mission
would not receive protection from the
auxiliary water system as planned by
Assistant En- gineer Connick. and for
that reason alone the association
should voice a protest against the is
suance OF the proposed bonds for fire
protection. This argument was quick
ly overwhelmed by the great majority.
When the Grunsky plans for a sewer
system came up Supervisor Center took
the floor. He stated that the gradient
planned by Grunsky was entirely too
small to give the water force enough
to carry away the sand and small
pebbles that are constantly brought
into the sewers.
He averred that the sewers would be
worse than worthless because they
would soon be choked. In this he was
backed up by ". McEnery, engineer
for the association.

Umbsens testimony confirmed in
every way the testimony given by
Green in the previous two days. He
was still on the stand when adjourn
ment was taken. At the resumption
of the trial he will probably be more
closely examined and his testimony will
fix positively the motive for the bribe

supervisor Jennings Phillips for the
