Traffic in Marin, San Ma- teo and Oakland In- fluenccs_Action. BERKELEY, June 12.—The saloons of Berkeley are to be reopened. They | were cloged Uy tHe Trustees two weeks |ago, when the agitation for general | closing of saloons in the region about thé bay was at its height. The Trustéés |last night decided to give the liquor sellers. permission to again open their doors. The dealers will begin business at ohce. There arc ten saloons in this city, all being in West Berkeley. Until six months ago twenty-three saloons op- |erated In Berkeley, this number being reduced to ten on January 1, 1906. This rigorous treatment of the liquor deal- ers and the popular sentiment against the business in Hast Berkeley; that being the largest and most influential | section bf the town, eombined to cre- ate the idea that when the agitation against liquer shops began a month 2g0, culminating in a strong fight in | Odkland between saloons and anti-sa- loon men, Berkeley saloonists would |get a complete knockout blow. This belief was intensified when the Town Trustees closed the Berkeley saloons two weeks ago, ordering them to re- main closed indefinitely. The town officials announced last | night, however, that as thé closing of | thé Betkeley saloons had failed to op- | erate upon saloons of bther towns, as | it was hoped would be the case, and as ons in Marin and San Mateo coun- to say notaing of those in Oakland, | | | | salo ties, it is possible to make fireproof bufld;_,enmmued to opeératé, with the pios- pect of speedy resumption 6f the liguor business in San Franeiseo, thé Berkeley {liquor men might a8 well have the privilege of doing business, Théy were | accordiingly authorized to resume. !

This showed an Indebted- ness of $850, with $300 avatlable in the treasury. e balance is secured by individual no of Dr. Baldwi Mrs. J. R. Gilbert and Mrs. A Zschoke. The members voted almos unanimously to assume_ the debt and to proceed-to raise funds for its lqui- dation. ‘When the gymnasium was opevr\ed a lease was taken on the quarters in the Myllen building foi five years. Only half of the time has expired, but the club will probably be able to sublet the rooms to advantage. The rental is $40 a mionth. The cost of conducting the gymnasium averdged $35 a month, which was not more than was expect- ed. But the menibership in fhe classes was insufficierit, and the dues failed to meet the current expenses. The plan to provide a gymnasium was public-spirited, since such an Institu- tion can be made of great physical benéfit to the young people. AIl will regret that it has failed financlally, and all will be willing to help the club members in meeting the burden of the debt incurred.
