BANK GETS A no
PAY 90 PER CENT.

The European American Bank, which
has been In the hands Of a receiver since
August, was given permission by SUI
preme Court Justice Amend to-day TO
pay depositors n dividend OF 90 per cent,
a~ggregating $4,000. The application Tor
the payment was made by the State
Superintendent of Banks.
The motion was opposed by the owner
or the building In Greenw ich street,
where the bank Is located. Through
counsel he claimed that the bank owes
him $4,000 entail. He thought such re-
lief to depositors would impair the bal
ance and his chances OF collecting.
Counsel for the state Superintendent
stated that there Is still $40, 900 to meet
other claims, and advised that suit be
instituted by the owner.

CLUBS TO FOSTER
CIVIC LOYALTY
Much Can Be Done by Cooper
alton of Improvement Organ
izatiOns of City
By c. F. ADAMS.

There is nothing that San Francisco
has been more in need of than a whole
some spirit of civic pride. This spirit
is manifested in its many improve
ment clubs and civic organizations, but
it has not the strength that it should
have. Not that San Francisco is de-
void of this spirit. There is not a city
In the world that possesses the enthus-
lastlc energy that San Francisco does.
But this energy is not general enough
II Is not properly organized, nor it is
properly directed. Instead of spending
itself In oppositions it should develop
itself in cooperation.
Better fruit will be obtained by
planting new seed than by cutting the
old branches
What is needed is to saturate every
part OF San Francisco thoroughly with
the spirit of loyalty, loyalty in it's
deepest and broadest sense Then will
be k1ndled flame of enthusiasm, de-
void of personal feeling and political
considerations, in which the evils, po-
lltlcal and moral, from which we have
been suffering will disappear.
Inc improvement club is the unit of
this activity. 1t is Improving devel-
oplng, beautifying and uplifting its
little section of the city. Collectively
all the improvement clubs are doing
this for the whole city But they have
not yet learned to act in unison. When
they learn to so act they will be in a
position to command the attention and
interest of the press and the people.
They will be able to inaugurate a pol
icy of development, loyalty and boost
ing.
This result has been attained in
Berkeley and in Los Angeles. The
present splendid condition of affairs
existing in Berkeley has been due very
largely to the Improvement clubs and
to the conference committee of i'm
provement clubs. This same spirit is
anlmat1ng several of the clubs of this
city To appreciate the practical work
ing out of this spirit read the history
OF the various Improvement clubs as it
appears upon this page

Many other projects accomplished by
the association are well known to ths
entire city Its success in the line OF
promotion is made evident when II is
considered that the Mission improve
ment association is the mother organ
ization OF 20 subsidiary Improvement
associations, which send accredited
delegates TO it's meetings
FIELD OPERATIONS ENLARGED NJ
The executive board of the assOcia<
ton found il necessary In 1908 to en-
large the area covered by the associa-
tion so as TO include the more neglected
sections of the lower and outer Mission.
At present the association embraces the
immense territory between Ninth street
and the San MateO county line. the
Twin Peaks and the easterly shore OF
the bay. This excludes the territory
north of Market street. east of Duboce
avenue and Buena Vista avenue.
From its beginning the organization
has realized that what benefits the
Mission benefits the other portions OF
the city, and that what benefits any
part of San Francisco BENEFITS CORE
spondingly the Mission district Its
scope is thus necessarily broad, and in
this lies it's success
1t has given evidence that an asso-
citation of civic workers can be non
political. public spirited. disinterested
in personal aims and only striving after
the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber- Its greatest effect. however has
been TO place the Mission on the map
and 10 make il an integral part of san
Francisco.
So much so has this been accom-
plished that today no great public steE
is taken in San Francisco or California
unless the Mission promotion associa-
tion is previously consulted.
The present officers of the association
are; James ROlph Jr.. president: Eus-
tace Cullinan, vice president: the Mis-
sion bank, treasurer; Frederick ].

yearly. on the first Monday in May All
questions are considered at the meeting
excepting those of political or sectarian
character.

The association publishes monthly
paper called the Merchants Association
Review, which is devoted to informing
the members of the association of the
work done and also presenting various
suggestions for the improvement of the
city and articles from experts in diff
ferent lines. Three thousand copies of
the Review are published monthly and
distributed free TO the members. of the
association and other organizations and
to individuals interested in municipal
improvement
Immediately after the great fire the
association took up the question of Sc
curing better fire protection system
for the city. After an extensive inves-
tigation the association recommended
the installation of a high pressure salt
water system and presented a general
plan for the same. The plan received
practically the unanimous approval of
the city officials, the press and the
general public The board of super
visors ordered the city engineer to
prepare plans and specifications for
such a system, which has been done
The plan, as proposed. will be the most
comprehensive of any now in use in any
