Rowe’s Resolution Relating to the Water H Front. | | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Aug. 3. The City Council has at last come to realize that the water front bill prepared by Assemblyman Frank Leavitt tw ars ago for introduction to the Legislature, but which was withdrawn at the r of several Oaklanders, would have gres ly facilitated the settlement of that intri cate question.- As matters have developed Mr. Leavitt's plan was really anticipatory of the action of the Supreme Court. _I( provided for a Board of Harbor Commis- |.stoners, and this is just what the City Council now desires. The resolution, of which Councllman Rowe is the author, simply recites the situation and is as fol- | lows: Whereas, The Supreme Court of this State in the case of the City of Oakland against the Water Front Company has decided that the interest of the Water Front Company does not and cannot in any event extend waterward beyond the Jine of ordinary low tide, and, whereas, an ample margin exists between the said line of low tide and the pier head line. Within which margin wharves, plers and other facilities for commerce and navigation may be constructed; how therefore be it Resolved, That the City Attorney be and he is hereby instructed to draft a bill to be pre- sented for pnssage to the Legislature at its next seselfon,. providing for the creation of a Board of . Harbor Commissioners to_take session and control of that portion of the Bay San Francisco and estuary of San Antonio and defining | | of fronting on. the City of Oakland, its powers; sald board to be appointed by the Governor -of -the State and to consist of three | members, each of whom to be a qualified elec- | tor of.the Clty of Oakland. | The bill will undoubtedly be introduced | | and’ supported by the whole of the Ala- | | meda elegation, and will' probably be made « plank in the county and legisla- | tive. platforms: which will be adopted at | the county and district conventions to be held on the 19th of next month.

New Building Contracts—Re- cent Sales and General Notes. Real estate was cheered but little during the past week by the progress made in | the general market. Sales were few and of but ordinary importance and of low value. Few, If any, negotiations were made that exceeded the importance or merited more remark than that generally afforded the ordinary random note. Although better times are undoubtedly in store for the near future to crown the patient efforts of the realty brokers in | the city in trying to extricate themselves | for the past six months from long exist- ent stagnation they are slow in coming and the predicted progress is hardly per~|‘ ceptible. Building operations for the past week were slower than those of the preceding seven days, there being few recorded ag- gregating a value of over $10,000. The number and value of mortgages for the past seven days were noticeably. smaller than the record for the preced- ing week: Few pledges were made ex- ceeding a value of $15,00. The releases and reconveyances were also in a minor- ity, there being few given for more than a $9000 value. REVIEW OF THE RECORDS. During the week there were fifty-five mortgages and trust deeds recorded, amounting to $133,462. For the same pe- riod fifty-four releases and reconveyances ssed to record in‘the total sum of ,335. | "The principal mortgages and trust deeds | were recorded as follows: By A.
