Mayor Taylor Urges Haste

All the congressman from California
and every member of the public lands
committee now considering the Hetch
Hetchy proposition received kilograms
yesterday from Mayor Taylor urging
upon them immediate action" to grant
San Francisco's desire for Sierra wa
ter supply.
Backed by the supervisors and the
overwhelming $4,000 vote of the people
in favor of the Hetch Hetchy project
the mayor laid before the congressman.
"the vital and pressing necessity" of
San Francisco. and demanded that they
grant the privileges recommended by
the secretary of the interior and sought
by the people of the chief city on the
coast.
That some members of the public
lands committee were not sincere in
their protestations of friendship for the
cIty's interest and were delaying ac-
of defeating it by delay was the opinion
openly voiced by members of the board
yesterday.
Congressman Inglebright in particu-
lar, 1t was pointed out, had been jealous
in opposition tactics and his objection
was attributed to the fact that he for
merly was employed by William B.
Bourn. president of the Spring Valley
company, which is making a deter
mined e1OrL TO Oeledl the people s VIII.
Inglebright was in Bourns employ as
an engineer in Sierra work.
The supervisors have determined to
put every man in congress on record
on the proposition, so that the people
may know who are sor them and who
are opposed. The formation of a sec
ond subcommittee by the body headed
by Representative Smith was looked
upon as a device to delay and kill the
measure.

That Mayor Taylor appreciates the
gravity of the situation was shown to-
day when he wired to Senator's Welch
and Wolfe urging them to have the
resolution hurried through the legisla
ture. At the earliest possible moment
Senator Wolfe introduced the resolution
in the senate, placing it before that
body in advance of any other legisla-
tive business, with request that it be
referred to the San Francisco delega-
ton.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the senate a caucus of the San Fran
cisco delegation, which is one of the
standing committees of the Legislature
was called. Dick Welch was elected
chairman and Gus Hartman secretary.
The resolution was presented and unan-
imously approved. Tomorrow it will
be reported back to the senate. so that
it may be referred at once to the as

Senator Wolfe does not anticipate op-
position to the adoption Of the resolu-
tion.
Opposition to the joint resolution in
the state legislature would be most
likely to come from Senator John B.
