the Importance of carrying the bond
election, August 26.
The remarks of all the speakers were
enthusiastically received. Mayor Rolph
said In part:
We want to extend the municipal
streetcar system. 1t is absolutely the
only way to make success of the eX-
position. and after the exposition these
proposed lines will still be money max
ers. Transports ton means the life and
only party 10 make extensions: other
corporations have refused. and it is
most essential that we have them.
Il insist that the city is wise in
bonding itself for the purpose of build
ing additional transportation facilities.
II will not increase taxes, those who
would defeat the bonds argue. Quite
the contrary, it would decrease them.
Every dollar earned by the municipal
railroads will be money in the pock-
cts OF the tax PAYERS of San francisco.
The profits will undoubtedly offset
some of the expenditures incurred by
The tax payers during the fire by even
tually reducing the taxes.
NEED Is INCREASING
L appeal to you as tax payers to
so to the bat and get San Francisco
ready for the crowds that Will come
here in 1915 and to also prepare for
the increase of population that is GER
tain TO follow our great exposition and
the opening. of that great waterway
which it celebrates"

on the cost of the proposed lines and
the earnings. Playground Commits
sioner Reardon reeited the history of
the fight of the union men for an eight
hour day and reminded them that the
municipal lines guaranteed the eight
hour day. and that such a move by
the munieipa lity would do much toward
an eight hour day for all trades
