ACQUIRES SECOND
STREET CAR line
Initial Municipal Venture Now
IS Paying at Rate Of $30,
600 Each Month
BY ERNEST N. SMITH

LtlAc>AetA ASAe-t
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. I2.A defi-
mite Christmas present OF $16S. 900
was put in San Francisco's Christmas
stocking last night, and earlier in the
week the u. s. senate voted the Hetch
Hetchy watershed, another Christmas
present worth untold millions to the
.city loved round the world z
The $l68,O00 Christmas gifts con-
sisted Of the acquiring Of the Presidio
and Ferries street car system. through
the lapse Of the allotted franchise,
and the city took the line over and
added ii to the municipal system now
running on Geary street
Not the least satisfactory feature of
the requirement was the fact that the
first $4,000 payment Of the $350.000
due for the track and equipment was
taken from the earnings of the munic-
ipal railway line on Geary street,
which has been running about a year.
The Geary street line already has a
net earning capacity Of $4,000 a
month. Running in an almost direct
line from the ferries to the ocean, it
is one of the most valuable strips-of-
way in the city.
The Presidio and Ferries line runs
from The ferries through the thiekly-
settled North Beach district, directly
past the entire frontage of the exposi-
tion grounds to the Preside.
With the completion of the Stockton
street tunnel, the two municipal lines
will be connected with a cross line.
Already transfer privileges have been
arranged with the United Railroads.
The success of the municipal street
car system seems absolutely assured
within the first year of operation,
when the city is receiving a net profit
of $4,000 q month from its street car
system which is yet in its infancy. The
lines are we'll run, the service is ex-
cellent, the cars clean and attractive,
and the development of the system
only awaits the expiration of other
franchises now held by the United
Railroads. .-.s< i -
With such an object lesson in mu-
nicipal ownership before them, other
cities have awakened, some to the

Proposed Bin calls for Double
Bond By Contractor on
Municipal Work

10 afford better protection to IA.
h6refs afd Idateriaimen supplying
work or materials for city and county
structures, p L. Weaver. first deputy
c;fy and county attorney, has pre-.
pared new ordinance which viii
probably be- introduced before the
board Of supervisors soon. BY this
ordinance contractor for municipal
work will be required to give what
is in effect double bond, one not
only to protect the government. but
also 70 protect the laborers and ma
ferialmen
Regarding this proposed ordinance,
Nh. Weaver said today:
Under such an ordinance as this
contractors cannot bid lower than
even the cost OF the work. collect
their money from the city and coun-
~, pay on some bills and leave the
|laborers and materialmen without
pay. the contractors themselves hay-
ing lived on tne money received for
the work until the end is brought
about BY going into bankruptcy II
4 man Is willing to face the liability
Of going into bankruptcy. he can af-
ford to bid so low for Job that he
WIN lose money on it, for the reason
that he gets cash to support himself
and need only pay on part Of the ma
terial and labor obligations. At the
end Of this game the materialmen
and laborefe nave a bankrupt con-
tractor for q debtor. The work, be-
ing government bridge or building,
say, II Is against public policy to al
low lien charge to be put against
it. Therefore the law does not allow
a lien IN such cases.
The city and county is going into
q great number OF contracts now,
when the street Improvement laws
acts 81 and I31-are beginning to be
used. It is time, 1 think, that the
city requires such q protective bond
that the laborers and materialmen
wiz not suffer.
.The United States in 1908 COM
pleted statutes covering the same
matter The condition Of the Nc
Donald contract for the Waialee
school led the territory to pass an
act Of . similar nature referring to
all contracts Of the territory.
Il believe that an act following the
general plan of the territorial act
would be an improvement. I have
prepared draft of an ordinance
which follows in general the United
States statutes in question and has
the good features Of the territorial
act. There is a question of policy to
be considered and / shall be glad to
hear on il by the contractors. The
amount Of the bond required varies
In different statutes. I understand
that some require so per cent, others
80 per cent and still others 100 per
cent of the contract price to be the
amount of the security offered.
should like to see bond require 100
per cent of contract price to be Civ
en-. That would more fully protect
laborers and materialmen, even when
the contract price is below cost price

when the work has been so low that
even then the bond would not protect

ST. CALLS NEW BISHOP
CANON BURKLER, DIOCESAN SEM
MARY SUPERIOR, CHOSEN BY
CATHEDRAL CHAPTER.

The Chapter of st. Gallen, Switzer-
land, have elected as Bishop of ST.
George, Canon Robert Burkler, rector
of the Diocesan Seminary.
The new Bishop is a native of the
Canton, born at Borsch in 1863. He
was ordained in 1888 by Bishop Egger,
and after teaching at Uznach served
as pastor in Gossau and Lichtensberg
for twelve years. He then became
Director of the Grand Seminary, post
which he has retained for six years.
Canon Burkler will be the fifth
Bishop of the diocese, which was
founded by Bull of Pope Plus III in
1928, after the suppression of the
cloister of st. Gall and the Diocese
of Constance. The Liberal party pro.
tested, and after the death of Bishop
Rudolph in 1888 the Federal Council
declared the bull unlawful. For
twelve years the diocese was admin.
istered by an Apostolic Vicar, until in
1845 Bishop Merir was appointed. He
filled the See for sixteen years, to be
succeeded by Bishop Egger, whose
episcopate lasted twenty-five years.
The apostolic vicariate of Appenzell
is now joined to the See of st. Gall.

ALTAR IN AMERICA
IN ST. LOUIS UNIVE ERSITY
CHURCH MASS CELEBRATED
ON 1T BY PIONEER MISSION.
ARIES 200 YEARS AGO.

The nearness of the feast of the
Immaculate Conception recalls to
mind that probably the oldest altar
in America is dedicated to Our Lady
under that title. 1t stands in the base
ment of the st. Louis University
Church and on it the Holy Sacrifice
is celebrated daily. Built more than
two hundred years ago, it's quaint
structure gives ample testimony to its
age. It is rather elaborately adorned
with hand carvings in wood; pegs of
the same material supply the place
of nails; and not even the hinges and
lock of the tabernacle door are OF
metal.
This relic of Indian days was
brought to st. Louis from the Jesuit
mission of Kaskaskia, a village which
used to stand nearly opposite ST.
Genevieve till it was swept away by
the Mississippi. Father Marquette
first found the Kaskaskia Indians in
northern Illinois and among them
Father Basle and Father Allouez Ia
bored subsequently, The altar was
probably built after the removal oi
the tribe to Kaskaskia, but in all like
lihood the altar stone is the same
on which these sanity men who
were to suffer and even shed their
blood for Christ, offered the Holy
Sacrifice.

LAST STONE CROWNSN new CATHEDRAL

Before the signal was given to hoist
it to its final resting place, the Most
Reverend Archbishop delivered an
address, a portion of which we sub
join:
Another stage in the construction

that we were doing wrong did we fail
to hold public cognizance of it, and in
full draught take to our hearts the
joyousness it is born to impart
I'VE saw the first stone put into
place. The sight was important; it
told of what was expected noble
edifice in alteration of the eternal and
Almighty God, fitting tabernacle to
the Eucharistic Christ, an inspiring
harbor of peace and hope to wearied
souls journeying toward the skies.
But in the sight there was only
promise. Then, we timorously asked ::
When shall come the reality?' Today
the last stone speaks; the reality un-
folds itself to the eye in plainly visible
beauty and grandeur.
''The reward of the builders of the
Cathedral is not for me to tell in
words of human praise, or of human
encouragement. Above the earth
reigns He to Whose honor the Cathe-
dral is dedicated, Whose interests,
which are the interests of immortal
souls, it is to serve. He it is Who
recomDenses. with gifts beyond the
hundred-fold more precious, and more
abundant than our gifts to Him, the
children of His love who said: Let
us build to our God and our Father
a tabernacle in its grandeur telling
Of His majesty, and upon its towering
height let us enthrone the cross, the
symbol to all nations and all ages of
truth, love and mercy in Him, Who,
because of us and because Of our sal
vation, was made man and dwelt
among us."

AN APPRECIATION OF THE PAUL
IsT cHoRIsTERs.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
VIM. +. Markoe.)

When Pope Plus X, with tears in
his eyes, accepted the heavy burden
of the papacy ten years ago, and pro-
claimed to the world his magnificent
motto: ITO restore all things in
Christ" following it up Immediately
with his great Motu Proprio on the
Reformation of Church Music (said
to have been more widely quoted by
the secular press of all countries than
any papal document ever published)
little did he think that the most loyal
and enthusiastic response to his ap-
peal was to come from far-off America,
where, perhaps, of all nations, the
most fragrant crimes against true
church music had been committed.
Little did he imagine that the great
movement for reform in America was
to be championed and led by that
typical American Order, composed so
largely of American converts, the
Paulist Fathers. Least of all, per-
haps, did it occur to him that the
typical American city of Chicago was
to be the future birthplace and home
of the Champion Church Choir of
christendom!" Yet such was to be
the case.
Now that we have seen and heard
the famous and much-heralded Paulist
Choristers, we no longer wonder that
the choirmaster of the great Cathe-
dral of Ghent, on hearing them in
Paris, declared that he had never
listened to such wonderful crescendos
and diminuendos in his life, that he
compared the great volume of sound
to the voice of "disembodied" spirit
and exclaimed These are not sixty
voices, but only one great celestial
voice!" We can understand now how
the Holy Father himself on hearing
them at the Vatican, declared with
delight, "They sing like angels!" II
was the only adequate comparison
possible They certainly seem to give
us a foretaste of the strains of the
angelic choirs and to illustrate why
music alone, of all the arts and
sciences, is said to constitute one OF
the JOYS Of heaven.

recent Twin City concerts it was an

over them. Indeed, he was talking
to them all the time, not by word
