WASHINGTON, A poll of Uniteu
S'ates representatives whose districts
lie within or adjacent to the Ba>
C..ies revealed the fact they are prac
tically unanimous in the opinion that
the city limits of San Francisco
should be extended. It was found,
however, that a wide difference of
opinion exists as to the direction in
which the expansion should take place.
That a "Greater San Francisco” would
add prestige to the state as a whole
was admitted by ttie entire deegation.
“San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda,
Sausalito and San Mateo shotdd be
conbined—federated—into a Greater
San Francisco," said Representative
Kahn of San Francisco. "The prestige
that would be added to the Bay Cities
.iiul to all California Is immeasurable.
And it would not mean the loss of the
identity of the East Bay Cities.
Brooklyn did not lose her identity
Greater New York—the great metrop
olis all Americans are proud of—was
firmed. Neither did Brooklyn suffer.
Instead she benefitted greatly. And
so would Oakland. Berkeley and Ala
meda bencht from the league. I can
nut too strongly urge all patriotic
citizens of the Bay Cities to get be
hind this great and good movement
l'or a Greater San Francisco."
• We need room in wheih to grow,
and while 1 should like to see the
trails—Buy Cities joined to San Fran
cisco, I believe the logical direction for
Sun Fancisco's expansion is down the
peninsula,” is the way in which Con
giessman John I .Nolan summed up
the situation.
"I an opposed to a consolidated
municipal government comprising the
East Bay Cities and San Francisco.”
Representative Elston, of Berkeley,
srid. "Oakland, Berkeley and Ala
meda from a rather compact urban
unit presenting a natural field for
some kind of merger in the interest
of economy and efficiency. I cannot
find the same logical reason for in
cluding San Francisco within the East
Bay side. Her natural lines of ex
pansion from the same point of con
tiguity and identity of interests lie
down the peninsula toward San
Mateo."
While Representative Hayes of San
Jcse refused to be quoted, it is under
sUod tie is in favor of a Greater San
Francisco, especially as regards the
consolidation of San Francisco and
the East Bay Cities. It is not believed
Mr. Hayes Would oppose a moderate
expansion of San Francisco souhtward
into ills district, since it i3 generally
admitted that the recent developments
of South San Francisco is almost
wholly due to San Francisco capital.
The general opinion appears to be
here in Washington that the move
ment for expansion will be fought
mo3t bitterly by politicians and office
holders of the smaller cities who may
ftar loss of patronage through con
solidation

NEW SUGAR PROCESS
INVENTED IN HAWAII
Pacific New* Se-vice, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON. D. C.—The Hawai
ian sugar production will be increased
three and one half per cent if the new
invention of J. N. S. Williams of the
Islands comes up to its present pro
mises, according to a special repoort
received by the Department of Com
merce. The invention consists of
machinery to recover approximately
tin If of the 8 per cent of sucrose or
unformed sugar which under present
processes remains in the molns3es.
Sugar manufacturers have long
been working on schemes to prevent
this waste of sugar but the Govern
ment report says that Mr. Williams’
invention appeai3 to be the first work
able plan.
His invention also simplifies the
whole method of producing sugar.
Under tils plan one operation takes
the place of three, as at present, in
recovering sugar, Mr. Williams has
been experimenting two years on his
new process He worked on the
theory that water prevented the elu
sive 8 per cent of sucrose from cry
stalizing. His process, therefore, be
gins with the boiling out of all the
water froom the final molasses. This
done, a centrifugal machine Is u*od,
running at extremely high speed.
This separates the sucrose crystals.
The new Invention Is expected to
prove of tremendous value to the
Hawaiian sugar Industry.

BRICKS BEST MATERIALS
FOR ROAD BUILDING
Pacific New* Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The office
of Public Hoods of the Department of
Agriculture la leaning to the opinion
that brick probably furnishes the be3t
load making material even for the
country districts. While the maca
dem road has long been popular that i
type of construction has distinct dis- ;
advantages In that almost constant
repair is required. Although the first .
cost of constructing a brick road is [
high, the road i3 good for many years ;
with practically no reparis. It haB an ,
easy traction surface and the divisions !
between the brick form good foot
hold for horses. Furthermore, brick
roods are easily kept clean.
Brick pavements have long been
considered adaptable only to city
streets. The fim brick pavement
built in this country was at Charles
ton, W. Va. The material then came
into common use as a city paving
surface. In the lust ten years brick
roads have been built in Ohio and a
few other northern states but the
Government has only recently advo
cated the construction of these high
ways generally through the country.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
PROSPECTING FOR OIL
Pacifio News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—While repre
sentatives of the big oil and gas
companies are prospecting the country
to discover new oil lands in order
that they may pass into private own
ership, the Geological Survey has
sent men out to work in competition
with the private prospectors with a
view to benefiting the entire country.
Because of the great waste of oil
and gas in private ownership the Un
ited States Government is extremely
anxious to obtain knowledge of the
principal oil and gas deposits so that
it may be in a position to regulate the
use of the lands.

44:’ more cattle and horses and 605,338
