benefits; they now assess it only $50, 145.
This is something like justice. Any award
almost is a high one to those whose land is
taken for the opening of the streets. since,
without streets, their land IS nearly value
less. Sooner or later. for this reason, with
out action of the city, they would have to
open the streets without pay. The first re-
port and awards Of the Commissioners, for
benefits and damages, raised a perfect storm
of Indignation. Something like an approach
to justice has been done all around now,
in their second report and awards. The
Board Of Supervisors has approved the sec
ond report, the work has been ordered, and
the Superintendent of Streets, by advertise
ment, has called upon those who are assessed
for benefits to come to his office and pay.

THE COTToN-MILLs ACROSS THE BAY.
We frequently hear that California manu-
factories are not prosperous. When well
managed, we think they always are. A
notable evidence of this is the cOtton-mlls
across the bay at East Oakland. Four
acres were given the company to establish
the mills there, and they subsequently
bought four acres more, the purchase now
being worth fully three times what was
paid for it. The buildings cost $50, 600, and
the machinery S225,OOO. The company. in
the five or six years of its existence, has sold
s., $50, 600 worth of goods and during that
time has made no bad debts. A better
proof of good management than the latter
fact could not well be cited. The company
has been paying fair dividends for four
years. Over 200 hands in all are EN- ployed,
Of which 16O are boys and girls.
