property affected by its discovery" was
far distant from Islais creek and that
II its discovery was all that ii pre-
tended to be it could result in affecting
no real estate on the front for period
OF 40 years
This sort of thing is done to confuse
the public and befog the ISSUE said
Senator Dick Welch. who has led the
fight for the Improvement at three ses-
sions of the legislature.
This is only a new application of old
tactics" continued Welch. This alleged
discovery touching the title of lands
more than half mile from Islais creek
can affect the Islais creek project only
as IL may serve TO confuse the public
through its generalities. Without any
direct statement the public may be led
to believe that the city has title to
lands which we seek to have condemned
and acquired by the state for the use of
the people. 1t might be q good thing If
1t should be true that title TO the whole
water front was in he city of San Fran
cisco. In that event comparatively in
significant private interests could not
use the votes OF the people Of the state
against their own interests and to the
undoing Of the people OF San Francisco.
ACTS ISREPRESENTED
The fight from the first has been to
make the people believe that San Fran
cisco sought TO burden them with tax
for the selfish interests of San Fran
cisco
The only benefit that can be expected
TO flow from a discovery of this kind
is the creation of a popular belief that
San Francisco owns a wa ter front and
that this city is trying TO grab some
thing at the expense of the state The
lslals creek improvement is an i'm
provement of the harbor that should
belong to all the people of the state
1t viii cost the state nothing and will
give the state San Francisco property
worth many millions. The ship owners
association fighting the project repre-
sents not the shipping interest of this
coast, but an insignificant fraction of
those interests identified with the
steam lumber carrying trade"
DANGEROUS TO BONDS
George L. Center. capitalist, former
supervisor and one of the most earnest
advocates of the Islais creek and other
harbor improvements said last night
that while the discovery of the city's
title to lands on China and Central
basins might involve nothing really
new, it was rife with danger for the
harbor bond propositions. Probably
none has a more intimate knowledge
of the development of the San Fran
cisco water front and legisla ton af-
fecting it than Center.
If my memory serves me right
said Center, "the state did make the
described transfers to the city. Those
transfers could in no way affect the
pending bond issues. They were OF
property entirely remote from Islais
creek. I would be slow to ascribe any
improper motive to this discovery, but
that it threatens to confuse the public
mind can NOT he questioned IF fhe
public understood that there was nc
connection between the China and Cen
tral basin lands and the Islais creek
lands there would be no harmful re-
suits. The question is, can they be
made to understand"

Doing the Unusual

THE Congressman wife was an original
and believed in things, not definitions
She admired the conventionalities; but she
never practised them. They wouldn't stay
with her; but went barking back to more
congenial spirits. She was frequently SUR
prise, more often a puzzle, to those who OBJ
served her. There were few, she believed
who understood her. But that's doubtful
One time, with the rest of the congress
sonal crowd, she went to an afternoon funC-
ton at the White House. Her mind was not
made up to do anything unusual. In fact
she felt obedient and traCtable. But the
opportunity, which seems to be always
awaiting her, was there, and she fell upon it
as naturally as a cat pounces upon mouse
when it gets in the way.
After her turn at shaking hands with Mrs.
and the Chief Executive, she should have
been satisfied but she wanted to return and
say more things to them. When she APP
preached for this purpose, the gilded aide
who runs the White House interposed
Mrs. and the President do not expect
their guests to take leave of them at func-
ton of this character
You say its not usual" asked the Con-
gresham wife.
