Baltimore Business Men
Urge City Extension

One of the most amusing arguments
advanced by the Baltimore and Anne
Arundel county opponents of city
extension is, that city extension for
Baltimore is not being advocated by
the business element of Baltimore
city, but is a pet project of the poll
ticians.
Really, that statement is a joke.
1t is almost like saying that black is
white and expecting people to believe
it. 1t is hard to conceive of any
statement which could be more COM
plete reversal of the truth.
AS matter of fact, the politicians
have not bothered themselves very
much about it. They are too much
absorbed in their own petty squabbles
to concern themselves either way
about city extension. If the project
were left solely to the tender care of
the politicians, it would not be long
before it would die of neglect. There
is not enough in "city extension" OF
purely political value, to stir up the
keen anxieties of the typical politi-
cian
Business Elements Are Enthusiastic.
If it were not for the persistent
championship of the business men of
the community the proposition would
have collapsed long ago. The pur-
pose of the movement is of such SUI
preme Importance to Baltimore that
the business elements are behind it
with very pronounced enthusiasm.
The fight made for city extension in
the last General Assembly definitely
demonstrated the attitude of the
business men. On the day that the
public hearing was conducted in An
napolis, in connection with the then
pending bill, there were five carloads
of the leading business men of Balti-
more who went down to the Legisla-
ture to voice. their advocacy OF the
measure. Men whose names are
known all over the State were con-
spicuous in the delegation Mer-
chant princes, manufacturers, bank
ers, contractors, professional men
all united in giving emphatic ex-
preston to the prevailing sentiment
now existing in Baltimore. That par
ticular delegation which went to An
napolis was concededly one OF the
most representative business groups
ever gathered together in Baltimore
for a public purpose 1t comprised the
leadership in the Baltimore business
circle. Many of the best known names
ON the membership roll of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
were in the forefront of the active
spirits of the delegation.
Look at Personnel Committee.
That is not all. Take the special
committee which is pressing the idea
at the present time. The Baltimore
City Committee is especially and con-
spicuously business" in its personnel.
There is not a name in the list that is
not definitely affiliated with the pro-
nouncedly business interests" of the
city.
Review the list for yourself. They
are all we'll known men. They are
big factors in the community. They
represent every phase of active busl-
ness in the city Put this list up to
the Baltimore and Anne Arundel
County Committee and ask them if the
following city extension committee is
one of politicians or one of business
men:

the board of city commissioners yes
terday for the certificates Of indebted
