It includes maps and other illustrative matter making .clear the various suggestions of Mr. Robinson. The report was read and referred to the committee of the whole for eareful consideration. Mr. Robinson recommends first that the city of Oakland proceed at once to acquire land for the beautifying of the water and shores of Lake Merritt. ould extend the boulevard there, and also would extend - the Cemetery Creek boulevard. The creation of a so-called “civie center” is one of Mr. Robinson's most interesting ideas. He prdposes to cut Washington stfeet through, and then build a Hall of Justice on land which would be west of Washington street after that street is cut through. The City Hall, under this arrangement, would be built in the block between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, on San Pablo avenue. The expert proposes that Washington street be extended through, on a curve, cutting across the yore at Telegraph, San Pablo and Broadway, making the Postoffice site the final end of the curve. The improvement of the city's prop- erty near the Sixteenth-street station is advised by the expert. He would park that section and use the De Fremery property there for beautifying parposes. His suggestions are accom- panied, as are all his ideas, with de- showing the feasibility of n and making the way clear for those who are to first com- prehend all his proposals and then make them concrete. Robinson finally proposes the creation of a great parked boulevard clear across the city between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. ALANEDA COUNTY NEWS SEEKS MISSING BROTHER.—Oak- land.

We're going to make the Chi- cago saloon-keeping Aldermen so ashamed of themselves and their busi- ness that they won't dare show them- selves in the streets, and we're going to arouse such a white-hot hatred against the liquor trafic in the Christian church that it will sweep every saloon out of this eity."
