The last noonday meeting of the cam- aign was held yesterday at the Fulton ron Works. P.'N. Wellin addressed the Wworkingmen and once again showed how Fruuny it would be to the advantage of abor to support all the bonds. At the last meeting of the Eureka Val- ley and Park Land Tract Improvement Club, held at Danfels Hall, resolutions Wwere adopted Indorsing the bonds for the park panhandie, and all the members glm! ed themselves to support all the onds. The opinion is freely expressed that the fate of the panhandle proposition will to 8 Jarge cxtent determine the faté of the school, sewer and hospital_bonds, which are to be voted upon next Friday. Should SAN FRANCISCO, December 26, 159, To the Editor of the Call—Sir: I take ft for granted that upon the morn of an_important clection it is the proper time to lay a few trite facts before the people: that is to say, ideas coming from the people, as it were. The election of to-merrow will tell us wheth- er our city Is to enter the new century as @ paragon of progress or still remain in the tofls of the Silurian. 1 believe in the intelligence and good judg- ment of the voters of San Francisco, and there- fore predict a heavy vote for the Issuance of bonds at both of the coming elections. The completion of the Park Panhandle as contemplated would be of inestimable benefit to the industrial classes, while it would en- hance property values nearly tenfold for & radius of miles. The experience of other cities stand before us as object lessons. Let the peo ple have breathing room and it will be found | that the cost of making such room will be in- | significant as compared benefits brought about. Bear in mind the fact that the laborer and the poor man will not have to pay for the proposed improvements. Labor Is to reap a harvest in_consequence. for them and the big corporations will have to bear most of the burden.
