Sentiment among business men amd men of affairs in Pittsburg and Allegheny county is strongly In fayor of the annexation plan. Some of the business men go even further than the mere annexing- of those boroughs, which lie Immediately adjoining the city limits, but propese the annexing of the entire county at one time and one- prominent business man even suggests taking In part of Beaver county If an enabling act would be passed by the State legislature. This feeling has long existed among; the business men and others who have the prosperity cf Pittsburg at heart and Is only accentuated by the published reports of the population growths -in the boroughs and distancing of Pittsburg proper by some less important cities. "I am heartily in favor of the proposal to annex boroughs and populous districts contiguous to Pittsburg," said F. R.

Babcock. president of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce, today. When everything is considered there remains no objections tof taking in at least the towns and "borotigha lying immediately adjoining the city limits. Pittsburg" should take its proper place among the cities of the nation. Annexation is the way to do this.

The Chamber of Commerce has started a boom movement of industries in the Pittsburg district. Pittsburg wants more industries and diversified industries. How can we get them the quickest and best? Simply by annexation of the boroughs in the county. i BABCOCK GIVES FACTS "A hnrt rllctanc the courthouse Twenty Eight Million Dollars A Powerful Bank JHE immense capital and surplus of this Company make it one of the most powerful financial institutions in the world.

These people when they go away from home, register on the hotel books as Pittsburg-ers.

They really are not Fittsburgers, because that is their address, but they shouhV be Pittsburgers in every sense of the "Wilkinsburg. the South Side Hills dis-Homestead and some of the other boroughs must eventually come within the city's government. Why not do it "The street car situation can never be fully coped with until this annexation takes place. It is impossible to contrel the street car rules and regulations when the city only has to say what shall be done at one end of the lines. I most assuredly am in favor of a greater Pittsburg annexation." If there is any man In Pittsburg or In the Pittsburg district who is in favor of annexation of the boroughs and outlying districts of Allegheny county, that man is Robert Garland, chairman of the trade and commerce.

Mr. Garland is not only in favor of annexing the contiguous boroughs but the -whole of Al- legheny county at "one bite" and he goes even further and suggests taking in fjarts of Beaver county if laws were framed for such a purpose. GARLAND'S STRONG WORDS Mr. Garland Is enthusiastically in favor of a Greater Pittsburg. Here is what he said-today -on the subject The.

whole jof Allegheny county must Inevitably come into Pittsburg and should all of Allegheny county be annexed and made a part of Pittsburg, even then not all of the Pittsburg district would be within tne city limits. "In five years' time with the campaign of publicity now under way, there will be a continuous strinpr of industries, factories and works from Pittsburg to McKeesport, and the same will be true. in the other directions from the municipality to the boundaries of Allegheny county. Why not annex the whole county at oncer It will have to come some time, whv not do it now? he time ig ripe and Pittsburg will be placed in Its proper place among the cities of the country. 'I even believe that an enabling-act might be passed and- Ambridge and Aliquippa in Reaver countv be made a part of Pittsburg's municipality.

The manufacturing firms in these towns as well as in every town in Allegheny county do their banking in Pittsburg. They have their central offices in Pittsburg and do the greater poction of their business from Pittsburg. Pittsburg is a name to conjure with. "Residents of the outlying districts, those without the city limits, when they go to New Tork or some other large city do not register at the hotels from the place they really come from but write Pittsburg as their address. MUST SHH" ITSELF RIGHT.

Pittsburg should annex these boroughs to set Itself right in the eyes hfu country. It is an actual fact that the banking facilities are much greater than some other cities which show a larger population. "Pittsburg should have its proper place, and annexation of Allegheny county, every bit of it, will place Pittsburg in its right place among the cities of the country. It is too had that we can't get across the border into Beaver county and annex part of it." Another member of the same committee. Marcus Rauh.

is certain that an-nexftion should and will be the next sten in Pittsburg's growth. "We have a precedent In what Philadelphia did several years ago." said Mr. Rauh. "It is time that Pittsburg be tai.ii in us proper ngnt. Our bank resources, our educational facilities and our tonnapre demand it.

Put the educational facilities before the tonnage because that is one part of Pittsburg's greatness which is oftentimes Overlooked and it is very important. The neighboring boroughs alwavs have been dependent upon Pittsburg for evervthing except government and that must inevitably come." Boston Copper Mafket. (Corrected by A. E. Masten Co.
