This note concerns a countably additive measure on a Boolean ring of subsets of an abstract set, this measure being real-valued, admitting ∞ as a possible value. We are interested only in unique extensions, so we suppose the measure to be σ- finite. The following well known result will be referred to as the "extension theorem": "Every σ-finite measure on a ring extends uniquely to a σ-finite measure on the generated σ-ring. "Besides the familiar proof using outer measure, there is a Borel-type proof using transfinite induction [4]. We attempt here to reduce the Borel-type proof to its ultimate simplicity, reducing the problem to the bounded case.
