WEST OF POWELL STREET

Assuming that every citizen OF san
Francisco who has pride in the city S
well being and growth is sincerely
anxious TO see that the barren and va
cant territory known as the west or
Powell street section" is rebuilt, look
to those who may be vested with au-
thority to assist me in bringing about
a rea sonable adjustment of affairs
whereby property owners in that To-
cality shall be induced, quickly and
without uncertainty, TO improve their
holdings
That the very heart of San Francisco
should repose in idlenesS as a barren
area which alone remains to remind US
OF the calamity of 1906. is d matter
deeply to be deplored. There is safe
and sound basis upon which the people
owning property in this seemingly for
hidden section may proceed with the
erection of fine buildings, any one OF
which viii Immediately attract its
quota of permanent tenants and in the
end bring back from Oakland and our
sister cities about the bay thousands
upon thousands of persons who once
lived in the west of Powell street To-
cality.
Even as I pledged myself in the re-
cent campaign ] am prepared now 10
enter upon a consideration of this sub
ject. with the positive end IN view OF
making it an inducement for property
owners TO build UP this district without
delay. and I propose to achieve this
without unwisely modifying any regu-
lation which might once have been
framed for insuring greater hre protec-

OUTSIDE DISTRICTS

The normal expansion OF any city
is first indicated by the manner in
which its outside or outlying districts
develop and sustain themselves. I have
never believed, and / do not now be-
lieve that these pioneers in a citys
growth should be left to receive a full
measure OF public improvements and
benefits only when the same can be no
longer withheld. / believe in giving
10 these districts those public improve

fort and commercial advantage of the
citizens therein and in giving them

Of these remote sections and to assist

value OF property in the more central
location by its very existence, and il
therefore deserves our prompt recogni-
ton and aid.

PUBLIC CONTRACTS

An evil to be dealt with. in behalf
of the people as whole, is the unrea-
sonable and unbusinesslike delays now
permitted on the part of the average
contractor in discharging his bonded
contract to the city. A private owner
would not tolerate persistent lapses on
the part of a contractor, for 1t means
loss of both time and money.
l shall insist on ali contracts with the
city being fulfilled and wholly ,vindl-
Gated within the time limit agreed upon
in the contract unless conditions over
which the contractor has no control
might, in exceptional instances, be
shown to exist

tractors brings about l call your atten-

trectors must cease. l invite the at

ROW BREAKS OUT IN BAKERS
 WILLIE METHODIST CHURCH.

Torrington. Feb. 24-Trouble which has been brewing in the little Meth odlst church at Bakersville for a long time. eliminated at the fourth quar- terly conference held at the parsonage yesterday afternoon. MT. and Mrs. Clinton Lyman and Charles E. Lyman are said to have been strongly op- posed to the pastor. Rev Edward Rol- llns, who came to the church early last fall. They are said to have insisted that the pastor should not be returned to the church and so notified Rev. Dr. w. W. Bowdish. superintendent of the New Eaven district.
 At the meeting, which was largely attended, Dr. Bowdish said that the only complaint he had received re- garding the pastor came from the Ly- man family, who had said to him over the telephone that the pastor was
 acting like the devil'' and must be got rid of. In opposition to this com- plalnt was petition from seventy-two parishioners who commended MT. Rol- Ens for his Christian zeal and effec- t1veness, and urged that he be return ed hy the conference.
 After an earnest discussion, the pro- ceedings ended with the election of new official board, and the retirement Of the Lymans and their supporters. MT. Lyman was asked to make a statement of his side of the contro-. versy but he declined to say anything regarding it.

ENGLAND FEARS
 YELLOW PERIL
Especial from United Press.

London, Feb. 24.-The Yellow Peril" feared by many of the E1lg- fish statesmen as result of the de- termination of China to make her control of Tibet absolute instead of nominal, will be made the subject of Gn early debate in the House of Con- mons.
 Despite Lord Minto's refusal to in- terfere, in an effort to check the operations of the thousands of Chinese troops that now hold the Tibetan capital, several members of the par liament declared today that they would insist on the government de- manding from China a full explana- tion of her intentions in Tibet.
 There is the strongest suspicion that China's move is a step in her advance to the west. English au- thorities believe that they already have enough troublesome possessions along the northern Indian frontier without adding Tibet to the number.
 Surprise is freely expressed that China should have gone so far with out protest from England. Some of the reports of the number of Chinese soldiers now in Tibet place the total at 10000.
