tiring commissioner also pleaded busi-
ness as a reason for his withdrawal.
Mayor Noy, in announcing his ap-
pointment of Rev Mr.. Martin today,

had endeavored to name a man who
would look after the interests of the
children in the city. He said that Rev.

place for this reason. Noy also said
that he desired to have a man on the
park commission. who would represent
the schools, and he asserted that Rev.

made. Every convenience for the trav-
eler will be found, waiting rooms for
women with matron, smoking room
and water heating room.

FIRE PROTECTION
NEEDEDINDISTRICT
Visitacion Valley People Have
Plenty of Water, but En-
CINE Is Two Miles Away

Claiming that the lack of proper fire
open to a repetition of the burning of
the Mount St. Joseph's orphan asylum.
the residents of vfsitacfon valley have
petitioned the board of supervisors to
remedy the defect and supply them
with an adequate system of fire pro-
lection.
The contention of the residents of
the valley is that while the district is
plentifully supplied with water, the
nearest engine house is two miles
away and, the roads being hilly, it
takes considerable time for the fire
wagons to reach a fire in the district
They point out also that there are five
schools in the neighborhood, all of
which are in grave danger of being
destroyed by flames. These are the
Portola school, recently erected at Uni
versity mound at a cost of $120, 900; the
Visitacion Valley school, the Bay View
school, the Burnett school at Four
teenth and NJ streets and the Harrison
school at Thirty fifth street and Rail
road avenue. The nearest engine
house to these schools, the petition
sets out, is at Twenty-fourth and Utah
streets.
The argument is put forward that
had there been proper fire fighting ap-
paratus in the district the Mount ST.
Joseph's orphan asylum would not
have been total loss. A suitable
place for a firehouse, the petition says,
can be had at the top of Five Mile hill.
The petitioners say that there is a
plentiful supply of water in the 500, 900
gallon reservoir in the Refs tract

FAIR BONDS Will
WIN At The POLLS
Campaign Made by the Progress
and Prosperity Committee
Brings Results

OAKLAND. Nov. THE progress
and prosperity committee OF the Oak
land chamber Of commerce today COM
pleted final arrangements for the cam
paign it will make at the polls to-
morrow for a unanimous vote on senate
constitutional amendment 50 and as
sembly amendment SO, which provide
for additional bonds in the sum of
$4,000, 900 for the Panama Pacific in
ternational exposition. More than 500
men will be at the polls. and every
precinct in Alameda county will be
covered. In addition to the workers
who will cover the 11S precincts in the
city limits of Oakland there will be
200 workers in Berkeley and $50 in
Alameda.
In answer to the circulars which
were sent throughout the state the
committee received replies as far away
as Fresno, and enthusiastic answers
from Los Angeles, MarysviIle. San Jose,
Santa Cruz, Merced and many other
cities.
Representatives of the progress and
prosperity committee have spoken
nightly at the theaters. B. P. Miller
spoke at the Macdonough Friday night.
and K. C. Millican at the Liberty. Mil
lican spoke at the Orpheum Saturday
night and at the Liberty again Sunday
night. He spoke tonight at the Or
pheum.
In his speech tonight MiI1ican dwelt
upon the Importance to the state OF
having this fair in San Francisco. and
emphasized the fact that the bonds
must carry by an enormous vote in or
der to show congress at the next ses-
sion that California wants the expo
sition.
Millican said in part:
"California's opportunity to vote on
amendments SO and 33 will come to
morrow, and all of us should see
to it that large vote is piled up for
them. The contest is not a case of
personal politics, but will help every
one in the state. There should be no
north or south, east or west tomor-
row. no county lines and no city lines.
1t is case of California against New
Orleans with the political strength
with New Orleans. But we must not
give New Orleans an opportunity when
we go before congress for recognition
to say that we, the people of Califor-
MIA, did not take enough interest in
these bond amendments to give them
more than 90 per cent of the total vote
cast"

PERMITS GRANTED
FOR AUTO RACES
POrt0la Contest Will Be Repeat
ed in Alameda County
in January

OAKLAND, Nov. 7.-Permission TO
hold the Portola automobile races on
the roads of Alameda county was
granted today by the board of super
vfsors to the Automobile dealers asso-
citation. The races will probably be
held next January over the same
course as year ago, from Oakland to
Hayward.
r. H. Morris, president of the asso-
citation, appeared before the super
visors today to urge the claims of the
automobile dealers. The objection was
raised that the county might be made
responsible for injuries if any occurred
because of the condition of the roads.
