The morning call., 1893-08-31
BERKELEY.

The City Board of Trustees held their
regular session Monday evening. The bid
of the Goodyear Rubber Company OF 1850
feet of fire hose at 90 cents foot was ac-
cepted. as was that OF tie Bowers Rubber
Company for a sixty-gallon chemical en-
CINE at $3.50. An ordinance prohibiting
cars running over ten miles an hour with
in the city limits was passed to its second
reading. with the change that the max
imum speed east of Shattuck avenue be at
the rate of eight miles an hour. The dan
ger to people making the Un iversity ay-
enue crossing from trains rushing down
the grade from North Berkeley was
brought up by Trustee Preble. as a horse
and cart waS struck there on Sunday last.
1t was found that an old ordinance COW
cred the case. At present the Southern
Pacific has an electric gong which rings as
the train approaches the crossing, so that
sufficient warning is given.
Three applications for saloon licenses
we're received. The evil of the Chinese
lanndiy-house was brought up. the Health
Officer, DR.. GraZer. having recommended
the removal Of the one on Addison street,
he having found it foul with filth and
danger TO the public health. The attorney
stated that the Federal courts had set
aside laws which limited Chinese laundries
TO any particular section. but that proba-
bly, the health requirements could be made
so stringent that the burden would cause
the removal of the laundries.
They Cry for More.
The regents find themselves unable to
cope with the growth Of the university,
for although since 1890 the university has
Increased in number of undergraduates
from 45O to 75O. the income has not pro-
portionateIy increased. AS result, every
department Is crying in vain for more men
and enlarged facilities. The next LegIS-
lature will be asked for an appropriation
of S500.000 for the erection of a large build
ing that will provide for the increased
growth Hf the university for several years.
This will contain a suitable assembly hall,
laboratories and lecture-roOms.
The Posens.
The Posen Fire Department was re-
Gently organized in West berkeley, and
on Sunday number of public-spirited
citizens met and erected an engne-houSe
on Sixth street, near Bancroft way. To
raise funds for the volunteer department
an entertainment and ball will be given
on Friday evening, September s. at Sis
terna Hall.
in South Berkeley Mr.. r. w. Baker has
donated room off his store as an engine
room. Nj. Harry KerrIson presented
hose-cart valued al 500. and the Board of
Trustees will have 450 feet of hose wound
about it. In East Berkeley the room for
merly used by Justice Long had been oc-
cupied by the Fire Department.
Glass of'97.
This morning as the $50 recitation
students and professors neared the build
lngs they were greeted by the sight of
large '97 painted in red letters on a banner
suspended from the telegraph wire strung
between north and south halls.
The freshmen had evidently been out
the night before. The sophomores of
course could not let such defiance remain,
but all means failed to reach the banner
swinging a hundred feet above their heads
until they finally climbed out upon one of
the halls and cut the wire.
The freshmen have elected as perma-
nent officers: Clyde Laughlin. president; :;
Miss Knox ard Miss Hunt. yicp-presidents !:
Mr.. Booth. secretary; Mr.. Bishop, foot
ball manager.
