THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1896. 7 & ) TS OF THE SECRET COMPACT “Oakland Wins Her Fight "~ ‘for Improvements in the Harbor. '.:'Aiameda Will Not Get the Canal ; Dredged for Many Years. bELEGATES ALL OF ONE MIND. _First the Harbor, Then the Tidal Canal, Then the Buildisg of the Floodgates. ... OARLAND OFrFicE SAN FRANCISCO (‘ALL,} 908 Broadway, Oct. 27. The great controversy between the two cities of Oakland and Alameda has been settled, and the Secretary of War will soon receive a report signed by ali the duly ap- pointed committees of the conflicting ele- ments. KEvery effort has been made to * discover the terms of the compromise, but to'no eftect until to-night, when the arti- clés of agreement were obtained. They are as follows: First—The completion of the dredging of‘the Oakland harbor before any other work is doae. Second—The completion of the tidal canal. Third—The building of the floodgates at the entrance of San Antonio Ray. This has ended the struggle that has prevailed between the two cities for sev- eral years. It has caused the getting of petitions and counter-petitions and the sending of communications to Washing- . ton, until a few weeks ago the news came over the wire that all work would cease ‘ until the rival cities could agree on what was wanted. This threat brought every- body fo time, and a conference was ar- -ranged between commiitees representing the Oakland Board of Trade, the City Council and the Alameda Board of Trus- tees. Engineer Poyzer, Health Officer Mc- Lean and President Forderer represented Alameda; M. J, Keller, Edson F. Adams and J. P. Taylor appeared for the Board of Trade, and a secret meeting was held last Saturday; but not a word could be wrung from the committeemen, altnough two cities were interested in The report refers at some length to the and to the existing conditions of the harbor, and sums up with the rec- ommendations quoted. As the terms are aimost identical with . what Qakland has fought foritis very evi- dent that Dr. McLean has materially . altered his views. He has always main- tained that the tidal canal should be dredged throuzh as a sanitary measure, | . and that until this was done the dredging “ dene in what is known ss Oakland harbor would fill up from the tidal canal. The plan unanimously approved provides for the dredging of Oakiand harbor first. The report will be presented to the City Council at its next meeting, and will no ** doubt be very acceptable. A storm of in- dignation will probably be raised on the - other side of the estua EDUCATORS TO MEET Will Hold a Three Days’ Meeting at the High School Beginuing To- Morrow.

IN-A CASKET OF GrAY, Mrs. H B Mellersh’s Last Reczptacle Was Symbolic of Youth. The Deceased Woman Was the Wife of a Popular S. F. ard N. P. Railway Official. The sun shone warm and bright yester~ day morning and the birds caroled their sweetest lays, but nature’s joyous manifes« tations carried no comfort to the saddened heart of Thomas Mellersh, one of the most efficient and popular officials of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad. Itwas the occasion of the performance of the last sad obsequies over the mortal part of his wife, Harriet B. Mellersh, who died of consumption at their residence, 814 Bush street, Friday last. Her age was but 39 years, and, symbolic of her youth, the casket was colored an ashen gray. The impressive ceremony at the family’s residence was conducted by Rev. Dr. Riley of St. Paul’s Episcopa: Church, during the course of which the anthems, *‘By Cool Siloam’s Shady Rill” ana “Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee,”” were sung by a irio consisting of Mrs. Rullofson, Miss Fleicher and F. P. Royle. The latter also feelingly rendered ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The parlors were appropriately draped for the occasion, while the rooms were filled with the odor of choice exotics, brought by Mr. Mellersh’s brother officials. One huge urn of flowers owed its presence to President Foster. The honorary pallbearers were: R.X. Ryan, F. R. Zook, W. G, Corbaley, George Hickox, W. J. McMullen and H. C. Whii- ing.
