the second one, and that process will take about a year so for all of the hard work to move the facilities to build the tunnel work and remarkably fast, given the expertise that we have with the contractors and the technology that allowed this to happen with the minimal disruption above ground and from the tunneling. this happens below the ground and not ripping apart the streets to build the tunnel the way that they used to in the older days, a little more vibration just as we are going about our business in the next year, quietly below the surface these machines will be steadily making their way north way, pretty impressive and so to close us out, i want to invite up, and i don't know about that. >> i want to invite up one of

the great cheer leaders not just for the project but for china town and the whole city and the relatively new but long time member and now executive director of the china town community development center, the reverend norman fong. >> okay, two words, everyone say go giants. >> that is when... but also what we are doing here today, and we are here to help go giants boring machine. okay? you got it? all right. and there are two of them and we have the family members of the... they are named after two excellent, wonderful people. one and david helped me with the infraon margaret chung who was known as mom chung and we will see it real soon and she was in san francisco from 1889

to 1959 and the first chinese american physician in the country and working in the heart of san francisco and she adopted a lot of american service men over 1,000 and one of them that she called and the congressman from minnesota to create the first female branch of the navy and here to talk about her is jena lowell rice, give it up for her. >> mayor, lee, distinguished guest and friends and family. thank you, for honoring our great confident, dr. margaret mom chung, i have to admit, when we first heard about this they were really excited but we had no idea what it was. so we did a little research, and we found out what the tunnel boring machine was and we looked at each other and we said really? >> really?

>> they are going to name a massive construction machine after our anti-doc? that is what we called her. >> and then we thought about it, this is perfect, there is actually quite similar. in several different ways. this tunnel boring machine is a pioneer as it will start the tunneling in phase two of the central subway and auntie was a pioneer as you have heard as the first american board chinese physician in the country and she started the first western clinic in china town and why this will help to build a subway that will bring together neighborhoods of the city, and auntie brought together, serve men, politicians, hollywood and military brats, in their common dedication to fighting or in dedication to the allieed cause.

mom chung is huge and will be a real power be reckoned with. mom chung had a personality that was larger than life. and she also was someone to be reckoned with as she lobbied for the formation of the navy waves, although she could not get credit for it, and could never join, because of the race and age and that the government has drafted (inaudible) and she actually got involved in the way and forming it because after the pearl harbor and we joined the war, she volunteered to be a front line servant and she was turned down because she was a women and that drove her nuts and so therefore, they sent years and many, many meet togs get the waves created which she did finally have a

handle in. and lately, san francisco is counting on mom chung to get the job done, and the real mom chung she got the job done. she through sheer determination and hard work, became a physician. she is the eldest child of 11 kids. back then, traditionally she should have been helping mom and dad take care of all of the younger kids. but no she wanted to be a doctor and she said that i am going to be a doctor. because the thing is that she had her mother's support and that is what made everything okay. but could you imagine, 11 kids and your mom saying could you take care of them and she says no i am going to school. she was a real, and my dad once said, you know, auntie doc, she is a real, what did he call her? i can't remember, something the power that you don't want to

mess with. and mom chung also supported the world war ii effort by adopting and supporting over 1500 service men and as i said before, she was instrumental in the formation of the navy ways and so fung is san francisco is going to have a wonderful subway and our family is proud and humbled that mom change has a part in building it. and i know that mom chung is really smiling down upon us right now. thank you. [ applause ] >> the second machine, coming right up. it was named after big arm a, here in san francisco? 1881 to 1968 she is known as big ama because she was 6 feet tall. and the great grandmother of san francisco. ama was a wealthy socialite and

among other persuaded her first husband, to fund and design the construction of the palace of legion of honors at lands end in san francisco and when she was younger she was a model. okay? and she is the inspiration for the victory, statute atop of athlete monuments in union square and we are honored today to have her here and the grandson and the great grandson that is taking a picture right now. >> mayor lee, chairman, and members of the board of supervisors and members of the chung family and guests, what a remarkable contribution that mom chung made to the city of fung and while big al moves contributions in a different

field, she too loves san francisco. she were two wonderful women who left their marks. as an architect you love construction projects and so did my grandmother and not only provide the infrastructure that our country needs but thousands of jobs as well. they also benefit to how the creativity and optism and confidence to the future. she was a model and studied art as what is known as the san francisco art institute. she is best known, however, for conceiving and delivering another construction project, the california pal ace of legion of honor and it should be remembered that this museum was originally build as a memorial to all of the thousands who died in world war i. >> i am not sure what you have thought about having a tunnel boring machine named after her, but she had a good sense of humor. she worked with a number of mayors and often entertaining

them over a martini or two. i suspect, although it is not in my script that i was one way of insuring the (inaudible) of a permit application, most pleased with this tribute. she will not stay on a job until august. however, she will have to work extra hard to keep up with mom chung. in closing, i wish to salute the engineers and contractors and thank the hundreds of men and women who arrived with their lunch pails and their hard hats each day for making this subway a reality. thank you all very much and i think that it is fitting that we honor the past, and as we are building the future last year muni celebrated the 100th anniversary and we are the first public transit in the country and we are now the 7th

largest and important part of the fabric of san francisco and honoring the path as we build the future i think is entirely fitting and so in closing, but before we cut the cake, i just want to acknowledge a few more folks that really it takes a village to make a project like this happen. and so i would acknowledge that the number of sfmta staff here from real estate to finance, the communications the construction, and they were all part of supporting this program going forward and maria from the transportation authority and from the department of public works and julie from the city attorney's office and i saw hernandez from labor, local 261, and we have been partnering and work ng tunnels and it is a specialized part of the craft and so we are training people and getting them to work. all of the other partners in labor and the city and the community want to thank you all so incredibly much for being

here, now the fun we are going to cut the cake, eat the cake and go down and check out the machines, thank you all for coming here today.

>> good morning. and welcome to san francisco city hall. on this momentus occasion, we are going to have and celebrate

the unveiling of the adolf trotro bust. and so we will begin with the present mayor of san francisco, mayor ed lee, talking about one of the former mayors of san francisco adolf trotro. >> all right. thank you, ellen. >> you are very welcome. president lee. >> good morning, everyone and welcome to city hall. and thanks for as a various departments that are here, i understand that we have three representatives from our counsel general offices, certainly our counsel general from germany, from israel and russia. thank you very much for being

here. former supervisor clint is here, i can see him in the crowd thank you for being here as well. our chiefs from the fire and police department are here. members of our commissions are here as well and thank you very much. my good buddy, leonid, mucupkin has been an advisor to me for many, many years previous to my being mayor of san francisco. and he is always been giving me great advice on not only history, but how we can celebrate more of it in modern day san francisco. and just a couple of weeks ago leo, we celebrated our 1906 earthquake event as we have done for the 107 years that we have had and it is great to always bring those themes of history that we have and of course, with the 1906 earthquake, the theme has been about resilancy and recovery,

that we should bring today that we should continue to be a resilient city and build for the future. when you look at the history of what the mayor brought to this wonderful city in the late 1800s, you realize you have a similar great theme that i can bring forward today and that theme continues to be one of philantrophy. he was a self-made engineer and came to the san francisco area and as a brilliant engineer he discovered the way to drain water from the great sewer lines in the area and he became so famous with his scientific discoveries that, back then, the president johnson at the time made it a requirement to honor his patent and his royalties by his great engineering try. and so all of the miners had to

pay that royalty and therefore, he obviously became wealthy. and in fact, so wealthy that he was known to own about one 12th of the land in san francisco. and i don't know about you, i don't think that i own one 12th of my house. i think that the majority owners are my wife and the mortgage company. but, if we could follow in his example, most of his land, some of which now we understand to be the cliff house, or probably even more importantly the climasus campus, 27 acres on the hill was owned by him when he encured his wealth. and of course, in addition to that is millions of books that he donated to the city and to the public. so, in addition to being a fine, fine mayor in the 1800s,

he is also was known to be not only a great philantropist what who donated a good portion of his wealth to the city. of course he was one of the first practicing men of jewish faith and so he did that as well while he was mayor. all of this as part of the great history of san francisco, one that we honor and if we could bring a theme for philantropy for anybody who owns one 12th of anything here in san francisco and it would be a great accomplishment. this is what mayor sutro brought to our city and i am so happy that leo has made this presentation with our artists. and jonna and hendrikson. you are hiding someplace, i hear that you are shy. [ applause ] >> thank you, for your

artistic talent and also working with leo and the fund-raising effort, of course, that we had to bring to this effort. working through the arts commission, and our city hall historic preservation commission to make this happen. this adds, fine, fine history to the wealth of the mayoral bust that we have in the great city hall and it is of course appropriate and timely that we do this. with that, again, i want to thank him for his wonderful leadership and you are always reminding us of great history and great stars of our history that contribute and you make it so relative with or artists and the second pride that we have in presenting the history of our city in connecting them up with what is happening today. thank you and ellen, you have one more thing to talk about when you bring these troops in to city hall, don't you? >> yes. thank you very much for joining us today. [ applause ] . >> and now we will hear from

leum utkin president of united human tar an commission and then the big moment will arrive. >> thank you. sorry i can't not speak like our big and nice mr. mayor. and gentleman. mayor ed lee. i am very proud to have business, leading up to the completion of this project. now and also the bust will be displayed and a building that was created with love and professionalism. and all need to know in 2015, we will be celebrating the 100th university of the construction of (inaudible).

the bust (inaudible). he can explain more in detail the life of the mayor and i would like to headline (inaudible). 1896, sutra became the mayor of san francisco and in ten years, (inaudible) the ability and willingness to spend the time to be with official and bureau crats. jewish came from japan and a jewish from russia, and this celebration was not only to sutra, but also the immigrants were failed and given to the lands of the united states.

chinese and the ukraine and russian and immigrants are present today. all immigrants that are influenced about and delighted, (inaudible) never forget the roots. i would like to express an important thing here that the counsel general of germany and russia to be present in this event. and important conviction they assist on the life to me. to be more proud, but

(inaudible) of each achievement and so as your people will gain (inaudible) administration of the san francisco (inaudible) thank you for your attention. [ applause ]

>> we request, if you are photographing this, please do not use flash because we will have, you will have a problem with the image. and in the words of mark leno who unfortunately could not be here today, it says congratulations on the occasion of the unveiling of the bust of san francisco civic and cultural leader in its rightful place inside city hall. as we gather to commemorate the service to the city and county of san francisco as the 24th and first jewish mayor, i commend his many contributions and generous donation to san francisco to help to make a

beautiful destination for the world to enjoy. the legacies left behind by mayor sutro will be enjoyed by future generations. may he long be remembered for as member gifts to our city and also, happy birthday mayor sutro. this is the day in which he was born on april 29th. this building was started on april 5th of 1913. so it turns out that april is an incredibly important month. mayor sutro joins the other 14 busts that are presently at city hall. and now, we will hear from

peter rosen, the german counsel general. >> thank you so much. and thank you, especially mr. mayor for gracing this ceremony with your presence tha, is appreciated and i would like to thank individually the chief of the police and the chief of the fire department for joining us here today and for interrupting their important businesses for joining us here at this ceremony, ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming and also to my colleagues from russia and from insurance, this is a great honor for me. i think and i will be very brief. i think that this is really a day of which we can be of which many of us can be very proud. but, probably most of all, i think that he must be very proud to see this beautiful bust now in this wonderful position standing in city hall because he has been working so

long on this project. and i really would like to commend him and thank him for his tenacity. of course there are many more that i have to think, the artists and the sponsors and the political leadership of the city who all have supported this project but i think that he deserves a special thank you. [ applause ] . >> thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. >> now, i'm not going to add detail to sutro's biography, because i think that you may be hearing more of that from others, more knowledgeable ones. but let me just add one brief personal impression on his personality. i have developed the ha bit of going out to jobs on sunday mornings on ocean beach and when i was driving out there yesterday morning from my home

in jackson corner, in light, sunday morning traffic. by the street, it is still took me about 20 minutes to get from there to actually the parking grounds at the cliff house. and while i was driving there and thinking about today's ceremony, i felt that it is for me, it is hardly imaginable what visions this man must have had to build out in this, or at the time, his mansion and to later on build the sutra, and i don't even want to think how much time it must have taken at the time to get from the city center to there. and so, to have this energy, and this vision to build something out on the other edge of the city. and already for me shows what kind of a man he must have been.

and as you know, he not only build the bath and the cliff house, he even later on, he added a railway line from what i understand there was one. but he thought it was too expensive so he bought a second one which was going out from the city center, i think about eight miles to land, and to cliff house. to bring people there. and so, i finish with this. i think that all that he has done shows the wonderful entrepreneurship that he stands for and that characterizes especially jewish germans, who contributed so much to my country's development. unfortunately, as we all know, it took a very tragic turn. but he stands for those people that he would make enormous

contribution to germany's development. and he came here and he made enormous contribution to this city's development and i think that the fact that he became mayor, also pays tribute and shows the spirit of this great city. it already to me shows the diversity that characterizes this city and that already apparently existed at the time. a city that took up immigrants from all over the world and just treated them by marriage and not by any other criteria. >> so this is a wonderful tribute, i would say to germany in a way because he came from there and he liked to claim him as such. but especially to san francisco and to this man's entrepreneurship. and i would like to thank mayor lee
