election show that tile total vote Tor school
bonds was 6337. Of these 1905 were for the
bonds and 1916 against. and III were
thrown out as Illegally cast. The number
of votes necessary TO carry was 1925. which
leaves 600 more than the necessary two
thirds, in fact more than three-fOurths.
The Lake Merritt and West Oakland Park
proposition lacked 1921 votes of the neces-
sary two-thirds and 296 of even majority.
A number of persons who were considered
foolhardy accepted bets that the park and
boulevard bonds would not get majority,
and their Judgment was sustained by the
result.
The Seventh Ward gave the heaviest pro-
portionate majority against the boulevard
and park bonds, and at the same time the
second larges. in favor of the school bonds.
In the Third Ward TAO out of S95 were for
the school bonds, but it gave majority Of
10 against the others. In one precinct only
of the entire city did the park and boulevard
bonds have the necessary two-thirds, and
that was the First Precinct of the Second
Ward-North Oakland. The park and
boulevard bonds had nearly votes to / and
the school bonds nearly to in that pre-
einct. This Is Councilman Earl's precinct.
Councilman Pardee's precinct in the Sew
enth Ward was not qnite so strong the other
way on park and boulevard.
