The remarks. of the repre- sentative of the San Francisco Chinese | owners, all of whom desire to have the Chinese again for tenants. Ng Poon Chew says that Portland and Seattle have been bidding for the| Chinese of San Francisco. The meeting was held at 2223 Pa- torney for the Humboldt Bank, pre-: sided. Many Chinese merchants were present. Much.time was given to dlu—' cussion of the plans of the committee of forty. Max Goldberg, the former| | Kearny-street broker, consumed much | time in showing the property owners where they could make more money | The possibility of Dupont street be- | ing widened was discussed, and the; property owners present expressed ! themselves as anxious for the change, | providing the work of widening was done with’ no more assessment upon them than on property owners on other streets outside of Chinatown. Many present expressed themselves as ready to erect buildings on thelr lots as soon as they could get an assurance fromi the city officials that. the Chinese, to whom they wished to rent the build- ings, were not to be removed. Thirty signed a resolution to build temporary structures at once, under the sam provision. Ng Poon Chew, the Chinese editor, was called upon to confirm the ac- credited expression of the Chinese populace that it would live in no part of the city other than the old China- town district. He said: “The senti- ment which I express is expressed by | every Chinaman in San Francisco. All are eagerly waiting the rebuilding of Chinatown, when they will flock from all parts of the State, to which they have fled in this hour of trouble. Prop- | Preparing erty owners from Portland and Seattle have approached me in an attempt to secure my co-operatior in getting the| Chinese to move north. The Chinese| do not want to leave San Francisco. They do not want to live anywhere but in old Chinatown. They believe that they have aided in the upbuild- ing of the San Francisco of the past and will certainly assist in the great work of reconstruction of San Fran cisco of the future. “The Chinese were doing a business of $30,000,000 a year. Our pugnacious spirit js aroused and_we will fight bitterly any attempt to abolish the old Chinatown district.” The property owners will organize an association for their own protec- tion, and present through the organi- zation _their views and desires to the committee on adornment of San Fran- cisco.
