which precludes rapid transit- This
' obstacle renders this vast territory
impossible of settlement by thousands
of our citizens who are obliged to live

that many thousands of our citizens

To obviate this unhappy condition I

f have \u25a0investigated the matter of
bringing; the North beach section of
our city into closer touch with the
business center of our city through
The construction of a tunnel under Nob
J'ul!. The construction of this tunnel
would provide a means of railroad
\u25a0 onetrurtion which would insure
rapid transit tor a larger resident pop
ulation ot the North beach district and
people fronf'the north bay shores, who
will eventually land at North beach, to
ihe doors of our merchants in the
sr^at retail section; besides affording
r. -I easy grade for teaming and pedes

I th*T*»for<* recommend that your
honorable body investigate the feasi

FLLSHI\G OF SEWERS ASD
FIRE PROTECTION
To serve at least two purposes,
either of which will most strongrly
recomniend \u25a0.!:<? plan to our citizens,
• the iinp'-'un 'lir.tr of salt water should be
undertaken — first, for the purpose of
properly ;',u^!iii!£ the sewers, and sec
ond, to bo used. If occasion ever re
• quirt-.*--, as a further auxiliary protec
tion against conllagTation.
V.V hiivf- no commercial, up to date,
approved plan of sewer flushing, and
as a result certain portions of our city
• i'jrinc: certain seasons are made veri
\u25a0 table fever spots where the zymotic
bacillus holds undisputed sway and the
children ©€ our less rich citizens are
obliged to sacrifice their lives upon
the altar of backward or noninteiligent
public improvement.
Wf possess every attribute for the
j=ucce>;sful operation of this njost need- ;
«-d and most important life saving fa- j
. oility. The fdoihills skirting the ocean
end bay shores afford superb locations
• fcr large storage reservoirs for salt
water and, with the heights entirely
surrounding our city for the location
of subsidiary reservoirs, a most per
iect fystem of sewer flushing ever in>
augxurated could be installed.
. . The salt water could be pumped from
: ihe ocean and turned into our sewers
\u25a0 at an expense which in comparison to
th/e vast benefits achieved would be
.\u25a0unimporLarit. The sanitary condition
• of our city would be incomparably im
proved and our death rate remarkably
l^^ened "
The second feature of this improve
raent- would furnish a protection
sgeinst lire throughout our city, which
the new auxiliary system furnishes to
certain localities. Instead of- storage
' in cisterns the sewers with the addi
tion;-of adjustable gates would become
\u25a0 yalti water mains conveying unlimited
quantities, of water.
O\:.r past experience has taught us a
. lesson, and if history should repeat
. itseff to us or to our descendants let
us pee to it that the utilization of
• natural advantages by intelligent ac
tion shall b* equal to all emergencies.
I I would therefore recommend that

\. GREATER SAN FRANCISCO
"•'\u25a0 In the near future I shall suggest to
\u25a0; your' honorable body a plan for the
\u25a0. expansion of our city by the proposed
annexation of contiguous territory
pouth of our city and county.
.»'•\u25a0 \u25a0:\u25a0. .It embraces a portion of San Mateo
coiinty. where railroads, both steam and
interurban electric, furnish rapid
' Transit and link the district with our
city. Industrially and commercially
such annexation will, in my opinion,
• result in tremendous benefit to both
\u25a0. ; sections.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
• \u25a0 Realizing that our school system
must produce the city's future citizen
. *hip and that the intellf-rtual and moral
.growth of the community must find its
root in. the. classroom. I earnestly intend
to. devote the greatest care and atten
\u25a0 lion to a practical and proper upbuild
".ing of the Han Francisco schcrol de
partment.
In order that the very best results
-" may. be obtained I ask for the sincere
J and unselfish co-operation of public
„ officials, teachers and parents in the
" work. There in much to be done. The
calamity of ISO 6 compelled the use of
roany temporary shack buildings which
are now wholly unfit for the use of
pupils and which should be supplanted I
by proper school buildings at the
earUst possible moment.
The task of erecting the new school
buildings provided for by bond issue
must be pressed forward with all en
ergy, and in accomplishing this work
W« will not alone benefit the child in
' school, but w*- will be able to use the
money realized from bond sales and
now Tt-iiig idle, thereby receiving the
benefit of this money, on which we are
• paying interest, and affording employ
; ment to a large number of working
. men.
I desire to see our teachers well paid,
appreciating as I do that their lives
• nre dedicated to the work they have
in hand — a work that means more to
the safety of the nation than the con
struction of fleets or the maintenance
of an army. .1 am determined to en
courage the school department to the
fullest extent of ray ability, enlarging
the scope of activity in every branch
of work intrusted to the hands of th«
board of education and doing every
thing possible within tlie law to pro
. vide the best facilities for the child in
the classroom.
OUTSIDE DISTRICTS
Tlie 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 I do not now be
lieve, that these pioneers in a city's
growth should be left to receive a full
measure of public improvements and
benefits only when the same can be no
longer withheld. 1 believe in giving
to these districts those public improve
ments necessary to the health, com
fort and commercial advantage of the
citizens therein and in giving them
quickly.
I therefore declare It to be my in
tention to carefully look after the needs
of these remote sections and to assist
in securing needed facilities wherever
funds actually «?xist to provide the
same. The outlying district, in its de
velopment, materially advances the
value of property in the more central
location by its very existence, and it
therefore deserves our prompt recogni
tion and -aid.
It shall be my aim and I shall ask
those public officers who may be con-
in the work to join me In the
.•undertaking to secure for the 'outlying
- — districts at as early a -date as . possible

the betterments needed and for which
the city may be in a position to pay.
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 anfi va
cant territory known as- the "west of
Powell street section" is rebuilt, I look
to those who may be vested with au
thority to assist me in bringing about
a reasonable adjustment of affairs
whereby property owners in that lo
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 a. matter
deeply to b<? deplored. Tiiere is a safe
and sound basis upon which the people
owning property in this s«eraingly for
bidden section may proceed with the
erection of fine buildings, any one of
which will 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 lo
cality.
Even as I pledged myself in the re
cent campaign I am prepared now to
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 lire protec
tion.
STREETS S AND SEWERS
The importance of good streets and
sewers to any city that aims to be at
tractive to the visitor and pleasant for
the resident citizen can not be overesti
mated and Is fully realized by me. I
intend to provide every foot of pave
ment and sewer that.the revenues of
the .city will justify, and I shall insist
upon a prompt and efficient vindication
of all contracts in this connection. " I
urge those public officials whose duty
it may be to look after our streets and
sewers to persistently investigate our
greatest needs in this regard and to af
ford all relief from existing evil con
ditions that may be physically possible.
PARKS AND BOULEVARDS
Even as the public playground Is. In
this modern day. a positive essential to
the well being of th« child, so Is the
park and the boulevard absolutely
necessary to the well being of the peo
ple as a whole. I shall help the park
and boulevard projeot \u25a0, all I am able,
so far as the same may be covered by
appropriation, prosecuting all work
with vigor. <~Vi' ..,
I am anxious to see that the bloat
boulevard is extended from Baden to
the city proper by way of San Bruno
road arid that the Inglesfde and Onon
daga boulevards are extended along
Russian avenue to the San Bruno
road. I am determined to see Nine
teenth avenue improved and believe the
same will be a boon, to that section of
the city.
We must establish parks in the Mis
sion west of College hill and likewise
in South San Francisco, Bay View,
Richmond and the Potrero. 1 shall ex
pect the fullest co-operation of the city
officials charged with the responsibility
of this work in achieving these distinct
publje improvements.
MUNICIPAL BAND
Patterning after many great cities
where the experiment has been tried
with eminent' success, I intend to work
for the early establishment of a mu
nicipal band "which shall dispense music
in the public parks at regular intervals
and give the people in all sections of
the city genuine musical, treats during
all seasons of the year. For the very
little money that this will cost the re
turn in genuine and beneficial pleasure
to the people is a tenfold reward. The
band will prove an inspiration and an

ure loving city.
AUDITORIUM
The erection of an appropriate audi
torium or convention hall in this city
is of vast importance to us, and must
be speedily accomplished.
The city of Milwaukee, with' a- vast
exposition building, but without the
physical and geographical charms of
our own metropolis, has earned fame
as the greatest convention city in the
world. Thousands of visitors and mil
lions of dollars in money are brought
to the city each year by reason of this
ability. to handle large conventions and
assemblages.
What has been possible for Milwau
kee will be even more distinctly suc
cessful here, and it behooves us, both
for commercial and fraternal reasons,
to provide in the near future an audi
torium that will be ~a credit to the
«itv and attract tens of thousands of
people to our gates.
NEW CITY HALL
For the safe, effective and business
like conduct of all public offices, it is
positively essential that a temporary
city hall be erected, to serve until a
permanent structure can be built under
bond issue and in which to properly
assemble the various departments of
the city government under one roof. A
business house conducted on sensible
lines would not think of scattering its
departments about a city; no more
should the municipality itself. A sav
ing of $100,000 annually now being
paid out for rentals will be at once
effected, the wisdom of erecting this
temporary city hall thereupon being
eatiiy apparent.
PUBLIC CONTRACTS
An evil to be dealt with, in behalf
of the people as a 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 it means a
loss of both time and money.
I shall insist on all contracts with the
city being fulfilled and wholly vindi
cated 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. • '-, , '
As an example of the loss to the city
which a too great laxity with con
tractors brings about. I call your atten
tion to the deJav attending the erection
of the hall ot Justice and county jail.
No contractor should undertake to carry
out a contract which he knows he can
not handle. Time delays mean money
lost to the city, and therefore exten
sions of time to procrastinating con
trfctors must cease. I invite the at
tention of the proper public officers to
this important matter. • • .
OEARY STREET RAILWAY
The people having emphatically ex
pressed their deslro regarding the op
eration by the cit->' of the Geary street
railway, it becomes the plain duty of
the civic authorities to proceed without
delay to transform the line into an
efficient and up to date system that
will redound credit to the municipality.
As an examo'e of what a public utility
ought to be. the opportunity presents
itself in the speedy construction and
eauipment of the Geary street railway
to demonstrate the feasibility of a trac
tion line built and operated by the
people themselves. • -
S'nce the people have sp distinctly
made known their preference in the
matter of acquiring this public utility,
tho responsibility for a careful, econom
ical and suitable installation of the
same falls upon the servants of the
public in office.
The operation of this line will prove a
comfort and benefit to the traveling
public, and work of construction must
be of the'verv latest, and most ap
proved type,, enabling us thereby

The SOO whp are scheduled to take
part In it are contributing their son's
and music and laughter with an enthu
siasm that in itself is a criterion of
the success of the play, and with every
part arranged, every role assigned and
every dance filled, the big general re
hearsals are going forward more mer
rily than ever.
Beginning with this coming" week
the rehearsals are to take place at the
Valencia theater, where already car
penters are | busy enlarging the stage,
building- balcoikes and staircases and
arranging the necessary trapdoors for
the witches, jprites and imps to come
through. All' Is bustle and activity
there, and/also in the Norman court of
tHe Fairmont, where the different cos
tumes are being given j out. . The place
resembles a busy department store at
Christmas time, its shelves piled high
with brilliantly hued kimonos and
dresses and costumes of every, sort and
description, and the .wardrobe mistress
has her. hands full satisfying the de
mands of the various groups.
' Every dance in the unique college
drama v will have a charm of its own. A
delightful effect will be given to the
dance of the sailor lads and lassies by
a unique electrical display. This novel
idea, called a "lobsterscope," makes the
people on the stage appear at one tlmei
to be at a great distance and at an*
other to be right under ones nose, and
as this is to be used in connection with
the great "Heave Ho" chorus of 150
people, it bids fair to be one of the hits
of the show.
The Japanese chorus will be delight
fully fanciful and charming in its color
scheme, the Kussian dance odd ami in
tense, the "Bucolic Fantasy," George
de Long's charming sextet, will be j
catchy and bright in both words and
music, and the 24 couples in Buster
Brown and Mary Jane costume. Harold
Blngham's composition, will lfe voted
decidedly "cute." As their costumes
are to be most abbreviated, it is ex
pected the footlights will particularly
appeal to their fancies. Then, there is
a genuine college, football scrum to
take place on the stage with the Berke
ley team of this year, and there will
also be a basket ball game.

The Formation
Of Stomach Gases
I .
31 any Different Causes Are Coneerntd,
In Gaseous Aeeamnlation in
the Moniiirh.
H
•|A Trial I'ackasr of *>(uartN Charcoal
In cases of chronli* gastric catarrh
the secretion of digestive jui«-es in the
stomach is deficient; the food is di-
gested slowly; the secretion is not
normal; and fermentation occurs with
the evolution of much gas.
It is evident, however, that a con-
siderable time is required to allow gaa
to be formed in any large quantity in
the stomach, and therefor" flatulence
from this cause is not likely to p<vur
until some time after food has been
eaten. If the pj-loru*. or opening from
the stomach into the intestines does
not close properly, gas may pass from
the daodcnnm into the stomach, ami
distend it; and such distension may
occur at any time of the day or nisht.
and is not entirely dependent upon
the decomposition of food in the stom-
ach, although this may be a prominent
cause in many cases.
There Is still another cause of ex-
