DISTRICTS OR FIGHT
f1illsborough Residents Agree
to Compromise
Especial Dispatch 10 The Cali


SAN MATEO. Feb. 2O.-If before two
weeks expire the trustees of the city of
San Mateo call an election for the an
nexatfon of East San Mateo and Hay
ward park the proponents of the fash
ionable city of Hilisborough" will not
assume the burdens and response bili-
ties of administering a municipal cor
poration. This is the compromise that
has been reached by various parties
representing those affected by the pro-
posed incorpora ton.
The motive of the wealthy residents
in threatening to incorporate the new
city was to guard against annexation
by San Mateo or Burlingame. If San
Mateo takes in East San Mateo and
Hayward park. and Burlingame is sue
cessful in anneXing the eastern portion
of Burlingame park, for which an cleo
ton has been called. there will be no
territory left by means of which Hills
borough can be outvoted in an annex
alton election.
AT the meeting of the board of SUI
pervisors in Redwood City tomorrow
the San Mateo board will present a
resolution asking the county fathers
to postpone action on the Hillsborough
matter two weeks. The projectors of
the fashionable municipality will not
object. Then it will be up TO San
Mateo to call an election or the fight
