to the Secretary upon his return to the city about October 1st. BR In this connection, it is proper to add that at a hearing
on this matter held in San Francisco July 24, 1907, it was agreed by those in favor of, as well as by those opposed to the
granting of the application, to submit for the consideration of the Secretary briefs on the subject; and the brief of the
representative of the City of San Francisco was received at the Department to-day. BR BR Very respectfully, BR BR illegible
BR BR Acting Secretary. BR BR CC - P R BR BR 03943
