BERKELEY, WHO 18 | ING THE CITY FOR $250,000, THAT SUM TO BE EXPENDED IN PUB- 1 LIC IMPROVEMENTS. + A STRONG ADVOCATE OF BOND- ERKELEY, Oct. 13.—If the plans of Thomas Rickard, president of the Board of Trustees, for the improvement of the city as sub- mitted to the board last night mature in the way he hopes they will, Berkeley will take the biggest step to- ward being a model city that it has since it began to grow. President Rickard's plans comprehend improving nearly every department in the city w apd spending $250,000 that may raised by bonding the town, In the lack the housing of its Rickard sees "Berkeley of the smaller and of the.State. He sa there is scarcely a town of four or five thousand inhabitants which has not a modern city hall, yet Berkeley ranks as the seventh city in the State, For this improvement he proposes that the town spend $100,000, which will include the purchase of addi- tional land to enlarge the present site at Center and Grove streets. POOR FIRE EQUIPMENT. The $30,000 for a fire department Pres- ident Rickard believes is necessary b cause the present apparatus is totally in- adequate and not to be compared with that of a town one-fourth the size of Berkeley. This money wiil build two or three new fire houses on sites already owned by the town and to purchase perhaps two steam engines or one steam engine and two chemical en- gines, together with all the necessary equipment. The $20,000 recommended for the use of the Street Department will purchase new sprinkling wagons and a steam roller and aid in repairing the outfall of the sewers, which is now a nienace to the health of the people of West Berkeley. With the steam roller the town can do most of its own street repairing. For the purchase of new school sites in the north, south, west and central por- tions 6f town President Rickard recom- mends that $75,000 be expended. As the population increases, he says, need more schools and property will never be acquired as cheaply.as at present. He also urges that the School Board dispose of its property on Center street and pur- chase elsewhere. The present site is acknowledged to be. too valuable for achool purposes and the amount which could be derived from its sale would pur- chase two or three desirable lots of great- be officials, behind a good Redwood’s Social. Redwood Circle of the Women of Woodcraft gave a social last night in Eagles' Hall which was attended by nearly 400 people. There was a short pro- gramme of entertainment made up of the following numbers: Mandolin and piano #olo, Roy and Dora Clifford; song and dance specialties, Mr. Montague; recita- tion, Miss Falks; vocal solo, Miss Anna Stockinger; recitation by Redwood’s fa- vorite, Miss Mabel McNally; song, Billy Hynes; comic selections, Tom Irwin. These numbers were followed by dancing until midnight. The affair was conducted by the following named committee: Mrs. Nellle Blangy, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Tickner, ‘Wilder, Mrs. Ambrose, Mrs. Schulz, Dr. W. D. Clark, Fred Seavy, M. F. C.

The $25,000 for parks in West and South Berkeley is recommended because the | people of those sections have no places | for recreation. The people of East Berke- ley practically provided with park , as they have access to the uni- Pres- | a privileges, | versity and blind asylum grounds. | 1dent Rickard says: While to the casual observer the condition | of the town is In every way satisfactory there is a deplorable lack of finances with which to carry on needed improvement: | of improvement seems | our neighboring cities are taking advantage | of it. Shall we do likewise, or allow con- ditions to remain as they are? I believe that the necessity for the improvements I have mentioned will appeal to every one. I belleve that the town could bond itself for this amount and mot feel it We could lssue forty-year bonds bearing interest at 4 per cent and would hardly notice the difference In our taxes. The amounts I have mentioned are only sugges- tions and subject to alteration, but I hope that as a whole they will meet with approval. I would also recommend that the Board of | Trustees call another election to amend the | charter before the next Legislature to provide [ for a $1 tax levy. The 7b-cent ievy is en- | tirely inadequate for us to conduct this city | properly, even with the most careful economy, and it ought to be raised. The town has long | since passed the provincial stage and it is | time we were getting abreast of the times. STAATS GIVES VIEWS. Trustee Redmond C. Staats favors most of President Rickard's recommendations, dissents from one of them and adds one of his own, which he thinks will improve the complexion of the whole proposition | somewhat. He said: I am not so much in favor of a new Town | Hall as I am of the other improvements. 1 am not saying, however, that we don't need a Town Hall. The one we've got is not ex- actly good enough for the town, but it will | do for awhile | _T rather favor $50,000 for a wharf at West Berkeley, instead of the Town Hall. The wharf is something that is really nceded and it will bring money to the town. As the busi- ness of the town increases the wharf will | be u:sea more and more. President Rickard's proposal that the School | Board sell the present school site on Center | street is a good one. That property is now | easily worth $60.000, and if it could be sold ! we could buy three or four good school sites in other parts of town and perhaps put up a | ®ood bullding. It must Be reckoned, too, | that the property in private hands would | bring in about §700 in taxes annually to the | town and with Improvements more taxes. All these things must be considered in committee, | however ,and none of vs know how we will | vote until we have thoroughly discussed the whole matter. President Rickard has not yet appointed the time for the meeting of the committee of the whole of the Trustees, when the bond proposition will be discussed.

The joint committee of the Native Sons which is to arrange for the launching of the cruiser California had a meeting last night, when it was reported that the par- lors of Alameda County have arranged an entertainment to be given at Idora Park, Oakland, in aid of the launching fund. It was also stated that at the next meeting there would be a report on the suggestion of holding a two weeks' bazaar or fair in Mechanics' Pavilion, and that from the opinions expressed it is likely that the Native Sons, alded by the Native Daughters, will undertake the project. ———— Painter Injured by a Fall.

Dissolution May Bring Cut in Prices and Cause a Rate War. — Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 13. The Oakland Lumber Deulers’ Associa- tion, organized in this city a vear and a half ago for the purpose of regulating the price of lumber, was dissoived this morn- ing by mutual consent of the members. The reason given for the dissolution of the organization was that present dis- counts on list prices are so great that there i8 no further nducement to main- tain the association. The fact remains, however, that while at the time of organizing the association all of the larger lumber firms were in- cluded in the membership, since that time -| there have been a number of new firms o_rganlzed and it is reported that the ac- tion of these firms, which were not mem- bers of the assoclation, in cutting prices of lumber had much to do with the dis- solution of the association. ‘Whether or not the decision of the former members of the organization to act independently of each other in fixing the prices of lumber will result in a rate war is not known. E. Waddell of the firm of Taylor & Co., =avs that the price of lumber is already so low that any further cut would be impracticable. In discussing the matter Mr. Waddell said: Owing to the fact that discounts were get- ting down, the members thought it better to disband the association rather than wait until there is a further weakening of the market. As to any internal dissension in the assocla- tion, there was none other than the usual busi- ness differences which come up in any organi- zation of this kind. I do not think that the dissolutlon of the association will cause a lum- ber rate war among the Oakiand dealers, as prices of lumber are already too low to make it & orofitable proposition for any one. At the close of the last meeting of the asso- ciation as a body the members all appeared to be on the best of terms with each other and parted in the most friendly manner. But of course 1o one can tell what the former mem- bers will do as individuals. The last meeting of the association was held at its former headquarters in the Stocker building and the members of the eleven firms comprising the body were present. After a long discussion it was decided to disband and when the gavel of President George H. Payne fcll at the close of the meeting the Oakland Lumber Dealers’ Association was a thing of the past. L e e MURDERED BABE. FOUND IN Y Corpse of Infant Is Re- covered by James Rhodes. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 13. The naked body of an unidentified babe about two weeks old was found floating in the bay at the foot of Goss street this morning by James Rhodes, a youth of 1900 Goss street. Death was found to have been due to strangulation by drowning or choking. Dr. C. E. Curdts, who performed the autopsy at the Morgue, cannot state whether or not the infant was murdered prior to its being thrown into the water. The corpse is that of a well developed female child and had evidently been in the water about ten days. The age of the baby would preclude any possibility of its having found its way into the bay alone. Murder is suspected and the police are at work on the case, but have as yet no clew to the perpetrators of the crime. —_————————— HELEN ARNOLD GIVEN INTERLOCUTORY DECREE Julia Rose Begins Suit Against Hus- band ~H.

M. C. A. building to hear the re- : port of the committee on tree planting on Telegraph avenue, appointed a few days ago by Mayor Olney. The committee at a special meeting last night formulated plans they thought most feas- ible for carrying out the work. These plans were presented to the large assem- blage of citizens to-night and met with general approval. John T. Bell, chairman of the commit- tee, presented the scheme of the body. Letters have been sent to ahput a dozen of the most prominent tree culturlsts asking each to designate two specles of trees which, in his opinion, are spéclally adapted for long avenues running nortn and south. Information was solicited as "to the character of the roots nd foliage of the trees and their rapidity or slowness of growth. When the replies are received it is the intention of the committee to hold a spe- cial meeting. Every property owner on Telegraph avenue, the street first to be beautified, will be asked to be present and express his opinion as to which partic- ular tree would most serve the ends of the city. No trees of rapid growth are wanted, | as those planted will be intended for or- namentation rather than for shade. The tree planters will interfere as little as possible with the trees already on the | avepue, a uniform growth. The citizens of Berkeley will be asked to co-operate and complete the tree plant- ing from the Oakland limit, thus making an unbroken avenue through to the but will try to get "heart of Berkeley embellished with beau- | tiful trees. The committee asked Mayor Olney to appoint two more members, making a total of seven. E. A. Stearns, secretary of the Board of Trade, was elected sec- retary of the committee. Much pleasant discussion followed the committee's report and the enthusiasm shown will do much toward carrying to completion the work already outlined. The new women's association now in the process of formation for the beautifying of Oakland will co-operate with the May- or's citizens’ committee. The committee comprises John T. Bell, Edwin Stearns, Craigie Sharp, Professor J. G. Lemmon and S. Arrillaga.
