Jan —Preliminary | steps toward the formation of another improvement association to advance the interests of Alameda were taken at a meeting of residents and proper- owners held in the City Hall last night. Temporary organization was effected by the selection of George H. Payne as chairman and E. E. Johnson s secretary. E. R. Anthony cailed the assemblage to order and explain- d the purpose of the meeting. Among th who were heard dur- ing the evening were George H. Mas- tick, T. G. Daniells, P. 8. Teller, J. R. Knowland, George Renner, Frank s, Dr. W. d’Evelyn, J. L. Field: . Brown, Rev. Dr. F. 8. Brush, P. Jacobs and Dr. W. O. Smith. It was the opinion of the majority of the speakers that there had been too much “knocking” and “calamity howling” for the good of the cit that @ movement to instill vigor vim into a public spirit, which was »ferred to as apathtic, should be in- augurated and consistently main- tained. Chairman H. Mastick, Payne appointed David Hirschfeld, E. R. Anthony, J. R. Knowland and P. § Teller as a committee to formulate by-laws and report back on the 11th of next month, when another meeting will be held and permanent organiza- tion effected e DEPARTMENT C ()\I\ll'l'l EE REPORTS | George FIRE Finds It Will Cost $35,000 to Purchase Necessary Houses, Lots and Apparatus.

With the willingness of the company to sell and the disposition of the city to buy it is, after all, only a disagreement as to value, and they vropose to settle this by arbitration. * * PRUDENT BUSINESS TO BUY. In the last analysis the city will be com pelied to buy its competitor, and it will be prudent business to buy it at a proper value now. But the proposal goes still further. The city may lease the property for twenty vears at 5 ver cent on the commission’s valuation, with the right to purchase at any time. during the life of the Jease. The committee regarded this as a temporary expedient; but let me point out how the free- dom of action which it gives the city dissolves all the difficulties that are Immediately be- fore ue. The water problem completely blocked the satisfactory consideration of all other schemes for public improvement, for $7,250,000 will not be sufficient 1o cover the cost of a water syctem plus that of the various other schemes that are pushed before the notice of the Coun- cil, and, in this case, which of the many could be selected to satisty the public and at the same time keep within the limit? The Council may not offer propositions that will exceed the bond issue legally available ex- cepting at the risk of Invalidating the entire procecdings. Public_impatience began to manifest itself at the delay In the report, and public mur- murs were heard that this water question should not be kept in the forefront of atten- tion to the utter exclusion of every other yrosect The proposed lease solves all these diffi- culties becaure— 1. The city may at once enter into posses- sion of a_non-competitive water business. it may borrow for twenty vears, if de- sircd, the capital of the owners at 5 per cent per annum net. 1f it wishes to incur a bonded Indebted- ss for the purchase it may at any time do 0 and retire the debt 4. If it wishes to keep intact for other uses the $7,250.000 of possible bond issue the lease will admit of that policy, because with the contrcl of the business and an economical menagement it is easily possible to make the business net a profit of 10 per cent, haif of which could be paid as res and the bal- ance may be applied annually to the redue- tion of the principal, #0 that within the twenty years the property could be paid for without heing sensibly feit by the community. 5. This elasticity will bnable the eity to assume towamd the water question and the other projects any position it desires. The dif- flcultics that surround the water problem may with. safety be put aside for a more conven- jent reason and meantime the development of the otbher schemes may be undertaken with vigor. And now—*'who hath helleved our report?” The committee, in the performarce of a thankiess public duty, has courageously stated jts recommendations. It has not been prom ed by favoritism for one scheme nor by ani- mosity for another, but was guided solely by what 1t reearded | lhe clear bullne- interest of Oakland.

The late Charles Foster was noted for his goodfellowship. Tt enabled him to break into the lines of all parties when he had need of votes outside his own. i When he first ran for Governor of Ohio his opponents undertook to heap ridi- cule ¢on him by dubbing him “Calico Charlie,” because he ran a country dry gonds stcre. “Calico Charlie” was equal to the emergency, however. He ar- ranged it that calico should become the badge of the campaign. It was used for de-orations at public meetings. bands were dressed in it, neckties were made of it and campaign newspapers were printed on calico. And “Calico Charlie” was elected.—New York Com- mercial. ADVERTISEMENTS.
