CIVIC JEALOUSY IS
FLAYED BY MAYOR
Mott Urges Bay Cities to Get
Together to Retain Suprem-
acy of the Pacific

OAKLAND, Oct. 13.-The commuter
who neither votes for bonds in San
Francisco nor befriends the commercial
interests of his dwelling place on this
side of the bay was struck a telling
blow by Mayor Frank X Mott in an
address delivered today at the luncheon
given by the progress and prosperity
committee of the chamber of commerce.
Oakland citizens, at least two-thirds
or them, said the mayor, are for the
water front bonds. There lis no or
ganized opposition and where it has
been found in the past it was generally
among the people who live in Oakland
and do business in San Francisco. They
sometimes say: do not care about
having Oakland improve her harbor
My business is across the bay and my
business interest is not in Oakland
Never was more fatal mistake
made by any people than when San
Franciscans take this attitude. IT
would be fatal to their interests IL they
should bring about failure of the rocal
bond issue. So surely as they did that
the place of San Francisco as the chief
port on the Pacific would be in imni-
nent peril and the prime Importance Of
san francisco bay could not be sus-
tanned.
Nothing is more vitality important
not only TO Oakland, but to the whole
bay district, not omitting San Fran
cisco from that geographical division
than the proposed Improvement OF Oak
lands water front and the voting OF
bonds for that purpose
San Francisco has been selfish. She
has shown jealousy of Oakland and Of
other surrounding communities Oak
land has stood by San Francisco, in
tends to stand by her and if possible
awaken her citizens to their true obli-
cations to the people of the whole state
as the chief port on the Pacific coast
The greater good that can come to
Oakland now is the expenditure of the
required $2,500,000 on our water front
and the placing OF the government of
the harbor under municipal control"
