There have been several suggestions ! made recently that invoive the increas- ing of the expense of the city govern- ment. The police patrolmen want their i pay increased from $50 to $90 a month, and there have been demands made for the increase of the salaries of different officials connected with the muniecipal electric lighting department. As the business of the town has grown there have been a few increases in the salar- ies of some of the department heads, but now the town is confronted with a general demand for more money all down the line. West End last week there has been a demand for more fire apparatus, and the ladies of the Adelphian Club have undertaken the task of securing a larger appropriation for the schools of | the city. As the City Council will have to set- tle these matters and decide what is best for the city, and as the Alameda Advancement Association has the best interests of the city at heart, it was natural that they should call a meet- ing to discuss the various points at | tssue. | The School Department has been alive to the situation and 1t has ap- pointed an official committee that will appear at the meeting to-morrow even- ing to tell what the 8chool Department needs. This committee is composed of Frederick T. Moore, Superintendent of Schools; George Thompson, principal of the Alameda High School, and Frank Otis and Henry Michaels of the Ala- meda Board of Education. The demand of the School Department was cut last year, and it wants more money for re- pairs. The Police and Fire departments want more money. for salaries and equipment, and they also will be rep- resented at the meeting that promises to be one of the most important that has been held in Alameda for a long time. |UNIVE RSITY EVENTS | BERKELEY, Aug. 21.—Fred Talmage, who was graduated from the University of Cali- rnia with the class of 1003, has been ap- | pointea private secretary to Pregident Kendric €.

OIL WIPES 00T THE NOSOUITo Experiments in Berkeley Show Interesting Results Upon the Insect Pests CERPERSTER Berkeley Office S8an Francisco Call. 2148 Center Street, Aug. 21. The campaign by the Berkeley Board of Health against the mosquito pest is producing results. Some time ago the mosquitoes became so troublesome that Dr. Frank Woolsey, health officer, decided to spread crude oil over the breeding places of, the pests. This was done some weeks ago and the conse- quences have been carefully noted. It has been found that the treatment. has resulted in a lessening of the insects. Dr. Woolsey is now walting to hear of places that have been overlooked in the oil treatment. Thus far he has not been able to cover the surface of all the breeding places. The experts of the College of Agril- culture of the university were the first to try the spreading of oil on the mos- quito breeding places. This plan has been resorted to in San Rafael and San Mateo. —_——— SENATOR HOAR'S MIND REMAINS UNWEAKENED Aged Tnvalid Is Able to Sit Up and Look Out of the Window for a Time.

The largest class that the university has ever received will enter to-morrow. Six hundred and twenty-five freshmen have already qualified to enter and this number ‘- will be increased before the week is ended. The class that entered last year was very large and taxed the capacity of the university, but 110 more students are prepared to enter with this year's class. In the total of 6256 passed upon, only twelve are spe- clal students, showing how strictly the line has been drawn this year. The new class will be formally greet- ed to-morrow morning by President ‘Wheeler, the faculty and the student body, at a meeting to be held in Har- mon gymnasium at 11 o'clock. Presi- dent Wheeler will delivér the principal address. The freshmen will begin their college courses at 1 o'clock in the aft- ernoon. ——————— PERSONAL.

These lots are within a few minutes’ walk of both the Telegraph avenue cars and the Fortieth street line of the Key Route ferry system, and are excellent sites for the erection of homes. / Among the purchasers were: C. S. Bernard, one lot; A. Eillis, two lots; M. Koenig, two lots; A. Sorenson, two lots; W. Werts, one lot; L. Turkleson, one lot; E. H. Dettner, one lot; M. J. Bet- tencourt, one lot, and J. E. Foster, one lot. The Continental Paint and Varnish Company has just purchaséd from A. J. Breck through the Laymance Real Estate Company four lots on the north side of East Twelfth street, west of Nineteenth avenue, for the erection of a factory for the manufac¢ture of paint, varnish and building speciaities. The work of excavating for the foundations of the factory bullding has already been commenced and the company has placed orders for the necessary ma- chinery, to be delivered as soon as the structure is completed. The officers of the company who will have charge of the local factory are: W. N. Benedict, president and general manager; W. H. Hoyt, secretary and superintendent of the factory, and A. M. Freeman, vice president and treasurer. All are men of widé experience in the manufacture of paint and varnish. : The following is from Holeomb, Breed & Bancroft: We find a most satisfagtory demand for building lots costing from $600 to $2500, and for Awellings costing from $2000 te $3000. Some {nquiries are from people in the Middle West _who are coming to Callfornia with the intention to settle in Oakland. Inguiriés which are of particular interest are for building lots in the Santa Fe tracts from San Frene'seo rent payers, from Oakland and Berkeley people, and even from residents of various parts of California from Chico to San Luis Obispo. One Instance among many whic may now be cited is that of a family payir $33 per month rent for an apartment of three rooms in San Francisco. This family has bought a lot 40x135 in the Santa Fe Tract, within two minutes’ walk of the Fifty-fifth- street station of the Key Route, which is just twenty-elght minutes’ distant from San Fran- clsco. The price of the lot is §750. ~The pur- chaser is now efecting & six or ssven room house costing $2000, thus making an invest- ment of $2750 for a home. At 6 per cent in- terest on this investment this famlily will be at an expense of $13 75 per month, as com- pared with $33 per month rent in San Fran- Cidco, and will have the advantage of a large, roomy house and lot instead of the three rooms now occupled by them in a San Francisco apartment house. Other advantaged are the mild climate, opportunity for flower gardens, a good view of the Berkeley hills and of the bay, good schools and all street work, includ- ing ' cement sidewalks, completed without ex- pense to the lot buyer. On some days of the week from ten to twenty persons may be séén at one time walk- ing or driving over the Santa Fe tracts, se- lecting lots. Thess purchasers come over the Key Route and Southern Pacific local trains from San Francisco and over the Grove-street and other street car lines which pass through or near the tracts. Many San Francisco people are among the purchasers, who are finding in the moderate prices and location bf these lots a solution of the disadvantage under which they now rest in paying high rente. Other local dealers report market conditions improving as the vacation season draws to a close. The members of the Elmhurst im- provement Club have taken up the matter of the incorporation of Elm- hurst, and a committee has been ap- pointed to make a canvass of the com- munity in order to determine the sen- timents of the residents in the matter. The members of the committee are Dr. W. F. Lynch, 8. T. Chapin and A. Frommenwiler. They will make a re- port at the next meeting of the club, on August 25. HAYWARDS, Aug. 21.—A large num- ber of new buildings are now in course of construction in Haywards, and dur- ing the past two weeks there have been several large transfers of real estate. Among the most important of the lat- ter are: Cottage and lot, J. B. Prowse to M. Jacintha, $1100; lot in Anspacher tract, J. B. Prowse to N. B. Borree, $600. BERKELEY, Aug. 21.—Newton & Needham report sales of some of the choicest building lots in North .and Southeast Berkeley during the last month. Among the purchasers are Ad- miral Merrill Miller. Professor Hat- field, Professor Kennedy and the Rev. Mr. Heacock. They have been success- ful in negotiating the sale of two lots in the business section on which sub- stantfal buildings will be erected. The biggest deal of the week was negotiated by Juster & Baird. It con- sisted in selling what is known as the Phillips block on Center street, between Shattuck avenue and Oxford street, to Benjamin Bangs, the local capitalist. By this deal $20,000 changes hands, the money going to Phillips and Lewis, who have owned the property for many years. The new purchaser will make oxtensive improvements on the prop- erty, but will not change the general character of the stores and rooms in the bullding upon it. —_————— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
