Mott ho is keenly | interested in the development of the har- bor factiities of this cit The matter came up during a discussion concerning the proposed bond fssue and the action which the Council would take concerning the West Oakland wharf project. The proposition was made by Councilman Mott in this wise: If the city of Oakland desires cure a harbor frontage which will be free from entanglements, why not start a cam- gn to consolidate the cities of Oakland to se- nd Alameda. ond thus give a continuous line of frontag 1d greatly increase the facilities for shipping As it is now,” continued Counciluman Mott, “Oakland has one side, Alameda the other sl 1 the Government has the center uary. If the two cities were united a omprehensive and com- plete scheme of harbor improvemest could be devised, and, think, carried through with good result Councilman Cuvelier declared that would be a good solution of the problem “The people of Oakland would have a | great deal to gain by such move,” he s,"” declared Councilman Girard, “if Alameda could be induced to unite with this city it would mean a big saving to us all along the line. I would be in favor of consolidation, but it 100ks to me now as if timent of Alameda is against that | tion." yor Snow said: “Annexatlon would reduce our taxation, the cost of oper: our government and would solve many of the problems which now confront us in the tax levy.
