Debt of San Francisco.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star.
In reading copy Of your paper of date
Of April IS. 1911, in an article, San Fran
cisco Today" l noticed a statement to
the effect that our city had a debt which
amounted to IS per cent of its assessed
valuation. This is not fact. The total
debt of San Francisco today is SIT $50, 900.
or about 3 per cent on an assessed val
uation of $510,OOO.OOO. The charter of our
city forbids any bonded debt in excess
of 10 per cent of It's assessed value There
has been. however, an authorization by
vote Of the people Of further indebted
ness of S55,O00,OOO. This includes $40
UO.0O to carry on the scheme of a mu-
nicipal water supply from the Hetch-
Hetchy valley. S5.OOO,OO0 for exposition
purposes and the balance for a municipal
owned railway $4,000 600 and for
schools, auxiliary water supply for fire
purposes, etc. Prior to the disaster of
April, 1905. San Francisco occupied a
unique position among American cities in
that il had no debt The present debt
was incurred for municipal betterment

The Cardinal Gibbons Memorial Hall
To the Editor Of The Star:

~ Tue iioE Vi ne StdT
If am correctly informed the Cardinal
Gibbons Memorial Hall, soon to be
erected on the grounds of the Catholic
University of America at Brookland, d.
c.. IS destined to serve as a dormitory.
yclept barracks, for the soldier youths of
the church militant, of which the only
American cardinal is the commander IN
chief Why a dormitory? Is there moth
ing better left in the field of Catholic
education TO which this noble purpose
could be made subservient? Such quar-
tiers might be properly needed for the flu
ture students Of the university. but let
these soldiers Of Christ camp out for
awhile and prepare their own rations, but
make the memorial to our beloved cardi-
nal serve nobler purpose-one that
would reflect not only his noble life and
work, but that of the Catholic Church,
its united thought and action, of which
the cardinal Is the center and pivot in
this country.
AS it is intended to erect also chapel.
or church, on the university grounds.
could not this be properly embodied in
the idea and plan of the memorial hall,
and have a building OF the model of the
great Benedictine Abbey at Einsideln in
Switzerland and church having joined
to its sides stately buildings which might
serve as museums or treasure houses Of
religious or ecclesiast icaI art? Exhibit on
one side the more noble objects, or those
used in the sacred rites of the church
vestmentS. altar adornments, chalices,
misSals reliquaries, etc.-and on the
other side the museum OF art architecture,
church decorations and Christian arch
eology, etc. both to contain such treas
ures that will fitfully illustrate the vi
talty of the church at the beginning OF
the twentieth century of its existence.
After the demise of the cardinal such OBJ
oct ha+ ~ n TN IN LOG l1
office might be properly preserved in
either of these halls, and why not his
remains In the church If such an edi1ce
was embodied in the plans OF the memo
rial hall built in his memory?
While Cardinal Gibbons appears to be in
this testimonial considered as Archbishop
of Baltimore, and head of that diocese, he
is Prince Cardinal the head Of the
whole Catholic Church in the United
States, and is held high by the pontiff
and all members of the Catholic hierarchy
with whom in his long life he has come
in contact. All these would surely feel
pleased If they could contribute in one
way or other to make the Cardinal Glib
bons memorial building the grandest mon
umeHt in perpetuam In the Catholic
world: and If it is shown that 1t is the
object of making it such, every Catholic.
from the child in the backwoods to the
Pope of Rome. will be delighted to con-
tribute something toward It. Let the two
halls serve treasure houses of the
Catholic Church and show the world that
our education. intellect, wits, are not fic-
ton; that we have ways and means to
do what the Catholics did hundreds of
years ago. FRED j. BRAENDLE.
