The hostility of powerful influences is now confronted in the plans for wider streets in the business district. The Downtown freely denounced as ridiculous and unjust to property-owners. Widening of Streets as Proposed Denounced as Ridiculously at Variance Wlth the Needs of Property Owners and an Un]ust Imposition . THE CALL IS HOME AGAIN IN SAN FRANCISCO Superbly Equiged Plant Established at Third and Market Streets and a Greater Paper Will Now Be Made The Call is issued this morning from its home in San Francisco. The strenuous days of meager printing plants are over, and the grateful words of thanks have been said to the good friends across the bay who gave us aid. With a big equipment of linotype machines and with presses that hum the j joyful song of large and swift editions, the cam- paign of The Greater Call is on. The entire plant is now located in the Claus Spreckéls building at Third and Market streets, where temporary quar- ters have been fitted up for occupancy until the repairs of the building are begun. : Spare no outlay to provide the best newspaper equip- ment on the Pacific Coast was the desire expressed by the proprietor, and as a result every department of The Call i. now far stronger than ever before. With several machines added to the composition department, with presses of . capacity that marvelous inventive genius of the present day has constructed, with stereotyping and picture-making ap- pliances the best that money can buy, the mechanical phase of newspaper production is now fully assured. The staffs in the various departments are back in then places, undiminished in number and fired with a new enthu- siasm. The keenest of journalism will continue to prevail in the service of the paper and proudly again will be floated the banner with its acclaim, well earned in the past, but better in the future, that The Call prints more news than any other paper published in San Francisco.

Says the Plans Are Ridiculous. ““A portion of the Burnham plans, especially those relating to the business district, are ridieu- lous and absolutely out of the question,”” said he. ‘‘We want the Superyisors to get to work with- out delay and give us_details re- garding the plans to rebuild ‘the burned section of the city. We have waited long enough in my estmation and I think we 2ce en- titled to some satisfaction. “I notice that in the Burnham plans it is suggested that Geary street be widened. This is abso- lutely unnecessary and 1o my way of thinking nearly erimindl. We all know that Geary street i 1s wide euough for commercial use at-1he present time. It is a business street and destined to remain such. ‘We niust do our best to defeat this measure at all events, for such a procéeding would be rminous o |ad many of us and of benefit to none: ‘‘I am not. prepared to go fur- ther into details regarding other 1nful San Firencisco are fairly tg-l }Chalrm;m Al A.
