Short The Counecil Is Not Inclined to Act Hastily Over the Matter. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 8. There is likely to be a keen fight be- fore the Council before the franchise asked for by the railroad to cross from Webster to Harrison street, along First, is granted. Ex-Mayor Davie is interested in the matter; so is “Old Pard” Bassett, and so Is Mr. Heitman. Councilman Wat- kinson, who was yardmaster of the Southern Pacific up to the time of the strike, and who has not yet been rein- | stated, is also very much worked up over the possibility that the railroad company may establish a ‘“death curve” at First and Harrison streets. There Is no time to be lost in this matter, for the War Department has issued orders that the new bridge at Harrison street must be constructed | not later than July of this year. The plans of the railroad company have been accepted at Washington, and the company is now ready to build, but re- quires a franchise in order to change | its route from Webster street to get to the approach to the new bridge. The plan of the proposed route filed by the company with the City Council | shows that they have purchased the block of land bounded by Harrison, First an1 Second streets, and the proposed curve will go across this | block, which will necessitate its cross- ing sidewalks in the middle of the block at two places. It is this section of the track which is being vigorously opposed, it being claimed that it will be a more fatal curve as th: harbor de- velops than the deathly curve now ex- | isting at Seventh and West streets. The petition asks for down Harrison street, south of First; this is_ the identical spot opened by Mayor Davie two years ago when he was stopped by an injunction which is still in force, and which infers that the land, is private property. Now comes Mr. Davie and asks the railroad company how they can consistently ask the city to give them a franchise over the very parcel of land which two vears ago they declared was private property and to retain which a suit is still pending against Mr. Davie and others, including the city of Oakland. This is the situation in brief with which the Council has to deal at its meeting | one week from next Monday night. MANSON’S MORAL. He Tells Why Good Roads Are Good Policy. An Instruetive lecture was dellvered last night in Mechanics' Institute Hau by Marsden Manson, the well-known eivil en- gineer, and president of the Department of Highways of the State of California. The lecture was given under the aus- Exu’frATmN. PRETTY ACTOR pices of the Farmers’ Club of San Fran- cisco, and the object was the enlighten- ment of the general public regarding the best manner of constructing roads and highways and the great vaiue of their proper construction. The lecture was {llustrated by stereo ticon views of many roads, taken by Mr, Manson himself during his travels through Russia, France, Italy, Siberia and different States in America. Atten- tion was called to the conditlon oi the streets of San Francisco as compared to those of other cities, and the necessity of taking the control of our fubllc highways out of the hands of politicians. It was claimed that California has many natural advantages, which, by the building of proper roads, will open up sections far grander than those of Italy or Switzer- land, which annuallly attract hundreds of thousands of tourists, who come for the sole purpose of viewing the scenery, which the splendid highways permit. The lecture was well attended by an in- terested audience. —_———— PROTESTANT ORPHAN ASYLUM. Forty-Seventh Annual Meeting of an Excellent and Worthy Organi- zation.

Snow gave the following estimate of the cost of a consolidated government. He said: My figures are based on the following terms: First, that the county of Ala- meda will be divided at San Leandro Creek and a city and county formed of all the northwestern portion; second, that the form of government adopted will not materially differ from the governments of other combined cities and counties; third, that the valuation of property for the purposes of taxation will be the same as that fixed last year by the County As- sessor of this county; fourth, that the in- come other than taxes will be received after the manner that now obtains in the city of Oakland. The estimated expense for such a ter- ritory under one government is: offices and schools, $605,000; city offices, wharves, libraries and elections, $657,000; total, $1,262,000; receipts from State taxes, $375,000; income other than taxes, $362,000 total, $737,000; balance to be raised by tax 000; assessed valuation of new ity, $75,000,000; rate necessary to raise $1,275,000, the amount required to be raised, $170 on each $100 valuation of prog . On $1,000,000 at the present rate of §2 12 the city, county and Stdte taxes will raise $21,200; at the rate of $1 70 on the larger valuation, $17,000.

Huntington is married, and Pascoe, though single, is extremely modest, so the charms of both these players are about equally divided. Previous to Saturday the men, though conscious of their superfor attrac- tions, were the best of friends. Then for two dark and awful hours the at- mosphere was filled with ungodly words and dreadful, revengeful threats. However, finally, good sense prevailed and the pair of Adonises buried their differences in the cup that cheers, but, unfortunately, inebriates. It all happened at the matinee. Every stage box was fllled with gushing, big-hatted matinee girls, and at the end of the second act they grew so en- thusiastic that they snatched their corsage bouquets and one by one flung them at the actor which they adored. Pascoe and Huntington were on the stage. with him, and Huntington his melting *‘good man’ look. six of the floral offerings and Huntington seven. looked daggers at each other and éa scenes.

The modest-man sense of the gen- tlemanly fitness of things finally prevailed, and Huntington, Pascoe & Co. adjourned to where the white-coated brother pf the barrel and faucet reigns supreme.

He thought that the city sent $50,000 all over the world for premiums on insur- ance and $25,000 for a fire departmsnt, making a total of $75,000 in fire protec- tion. He had been told to-day that if they came into Oakland that these pre- miums would be increased. What for he did not know, but he did know that the city had no desire to give up what they had. E. W. Maslin of Alameda sald: “The best thing you can do is to move out and let Alameda move in. There is no use of wasting strength on a proposi- tion to consolidate. Do you believe that the citizens of Alameda will vote to come in when such facts are in exist- ence as have been produced here to- night? Your desire to form greater Oakland is selfishness to throw taxa- tion on those you want to take in.” John T. Bell deplored the words of Mr. Bailey and declared in favor of consolidation. He was followed by A. C. Henry, who argued agalnst the points made by the speakers from Alameda and Berkeley. Sol Kahn said the pres- ence of representatives from Alameda foreshadowed success. Twelve years ago they would have been impeached by their constituents. James Naismith favored forming leagues, hiring attorneys to tell how to act and going forward on the lines laid down by them. Max Webber believed a committee should be appointed to go to work. L. N. Hagar said he had worked thirty years for annexation and now wanted to see consolidation. M. J. Keller, W. E. Barnard and Fred Kahn made remarks, affer which adjourn- ment was taken until March 8, when all interested, either in favor or against the proposed comsolidation are invited to be present. FEAR ANOTHER FAMINE. Berkeleyans Expect Disastrous Ef- fects of the Dry Season on Their Water Supply. BERKELEY, Feb. S.—Berkeleyans are already becoming alarmed at the pros- pect of another water famine this ?rear in Sonsequence of the present indications of a dry year. W. Sanborn of North Berkeley, who has thoroughly studied the local water system, declares that even with the recent rains the water in the Teservoirs of the Alameda Water Com- pany is very low and that unless some Piltional source Is secured, Berkeley Will have a worse scarcity of water dur- ing the summer and fall of 1898 than it last season. dl‘d‘l think there is little doubt now,” cafd Mr. Sanborn this evening, “that we will have a dry season and a big water famine, and Berkeley will not be the only place to have trouble. It was supposed that when the wet season arrived all the trouble would be over, but the rains have not been heavy enough. Berkeley gar- deners will soon want to irrigate, but there will be no water with which to irri- gate. There will be no means of getting sufficient water except from outside sources.” The North Berkeley Improvement Club at its meeting last nlsgt declared ‘em- Dhatically in favor of adopting the meter system and fixing water rates in Berkeley at 25 cents ger 1000 gallons, with a mini- mum rate of $1 per month.
