EXPOSITION PLANS
REQUIRE PUBLICITY
Directing and Finance Commit
tees Find Way Cleared by
Santa Barbara Decision
Endorsement of Project by Los
Angeles and Northwest Will
Insure Success

Optimism according TO the mem
hers of the directing and finance COM
mfttees Of the Panama-Pacific inter
national exposition company, is the
word which best expresses the senti-
nnents of both committees relative to
the outcome of the project. Following
the decision Of the Santa Barbara con-
ference. which designated San Fran
cisco as the ideal location for the 1915
celebration of the opening of the Pan
anna canal. the various committees vir-
tuaIly have taken a new lease of life.
r. J. Taussig. secretary of the COM
pany, said yesterday:
The Santa Barbara meeting settled
all immediate disputes as to the loca-
tion for the exposition and incidentally
arranged TO handle any that should
nasterialize in the future. With this
end of the proposition properly taken
care of it should not be difficult
matter for us to proceed with the nee
essary preliminary work and get down
to actual business in securing the de-
sired financial aid.
Los Angeles. the metropolis OF
southern California has been the one
CITY whose endorsement we have need
ed and from all reports she is with US.
This being a fact and considering that
Los Angeles will swing the entire
southern end of the state, the matter
branches out, becoming much more
than local affair, being now not only
a state but a Pacific coast undertake
ing.
NORTHWESTERN AID PROMISED
The entire northwest is with San
Francisco in this matter and is willing
10 render every possible aid toward
furthering any plans that this city is
liable 10 make.
Publicity. at the present time, is the
one great desirable feature, and this,
I am sure, will receive the best atten-
ton from c. c. Moore when he returns
to san Francisco from his southern
trip. In the meantime 1T viii not be
amiss for those interested TO assist IN
giving the exposition all possible ad-
vertising.
II understand that the majority Of
business houses of the city have in
structed their travelling men TO work
for the 1915 event on every posslole
occasion 1 am sure that there is not
q man on the road out Of San Fran
cisco who will not take up the propo-
sition as a personal matter and work
hard and consistently for the exposi-
ton
REASONS FOR FRIENDSHIP
One of the chief reasons advanced
hx those who know for the friendly
attitude taken by Los Angeles is the
fact that San Francisco always has
been a stanch friend to her southern
sister: always being willing TO finance
any project which emanated from the
CITY of Angels. In proof of this
il is pointed out that, during the year
1903. 81 800. geo worth of the listed
bonds OF Los Angeles were transferred
on the san Francisco exchange. These
bonds are issued by such representa-
live companies as the Los Angeles rail-
way company, Pacific light and power
cornpany, Edison electric company OF
Los Angeles. Los Angeles electric COM
pany, Los Angeles gas and electric COM
pany. Los Angeles light company, Los
Angeles Pacific, Los Angeles-Pacific of
California. Pacific electric company and
many others.
According to the published statement
of the Hibernis savings and loan So
ciety. that organization holds 100000
worth OF the bonds of the Los Angeles
Pacific and sSe,0OO worth of the bonds
Of the Los Angeles railway, while the
san Francisco savings union is re-
ported to be the possessor of upward
of 81 100000 worth .of the southern
City's bonds.
1t is further reported that San Fran
cisco capital aided in building the Los
Angeles gas works, and that the light
ing plant bonds, recently placed on the
market. We're handled by San Francisco
bankers and brokers.
COOPERATION Is ASSURED
The foregoing facts are given out
by members of the exposition company
as ample reason why Los Angeles
should maintain a friendly attitude
toward San Francisco and render all
possible assistance in a successful cele-
bration in honor of the completion and
opening of the Panama canal in 1915.
THE attitude OF Los Angeles relative
10 the exposition project has been
matter of speculation for long time
past said prominent member of the
exposition company yesterday. How
ever, the southern city now realizes
that the matter is not a local affair, but
one of vital importance TO the entire
state and also TO the entire coast. and
is lending every possible aid to insure
its success.
Los Angeles is loyalty responding
10 the sentiment of the Santa Barbara
meeting, working on the idea that the
state is unit in this matter. and
realizing that in order to insure the
success Of the enterprise all California
must stand behind San Francisco
