Walter Macarthur, the first to return
of the cfty's commissioners sent to
Washington in the Hetch Hetchy mat
ter, spoke at an informal conference
yesterday at the hall of Justice con-
cerning the progress of the grant in
congress and the measures which citi-
zens and the semipublic organizations
should take TO reinforce the efforts
or the city's representatives now at
the capitol.
1t was decided to send a telegram
thanking the California senators and
the states delegation in the house for
their steadfast support and work for
the bill; also TO memorialize Speaker
Cannon and the senate COMMITTEES in
regard to speedy action. The sugges-
ton was made that individuals write
congressman of their acquaintance, en-
listing support for the city's cause.
The various civic, commercial and
labor. organizations of the city will
send individual messages to congress
setting forth the desires of their mem-
bership. Macarthur said that Attorney
McCutchen and the Spring Valleys

had industriously sown the impression
that San Francisco's move to secure
