the City Clerk yesterday:
To the Honorable city Council OF Oakland: The
undersigned qualified electors of the city of Oak
land, res ding therein and representing and con-
shutting not ess than one-fifth of the number of
qualified electors in said city of Oakland. COM
Duted upon the number of votes cast al the last
municipal election held therein hereby respect
fully petition and ask your honorable board to
have and take such steps and proceedings as may
be necessary to alter the boundaries of said city
OF Oakland so as to annex thereto. incorporate
and include therein and make part thereof all
the following territory lying and being In the
township of Oakland, county of Alameda. St4t of
California, more particularly described as follows
to wit:
Commencing at point formed by the intersec-
rion of the present northery and easterly charter
or boundary line of the city OF Oakland, running
thence westerly along said northerly charter or
boundary line to the westerly boundary line of
the county OF Alameda in the bay OF San Fran
cisco; thence northery and along said westerly
boundary line of Alameda County TO an intersec-
Berkeley. thence ill easterly direction and fol-
low ing said southerly charter line Of the town of
Berkeley TO the point formed by the intersection
oil said sputherly line TO the town OF Berkeley
with the present eastsrly charter line OF the
town of Berkeley" thence southeasterly in
direct line to the point OF commencement. And
sh ould my name appear In another annexation
petition which this includes wish the same to be
cancelled.
To it was attached 1900 signatures.
This is the second edition Easking for an
election for the annexation of the north
ern suburbs. The other only asks for pOr-
ton of the latter, and its hackers all
claim that this Que is only gotten up to
defeat both. They claim that the instiga-
tors of this one are the very men who
fought so hard against annexation al first,
and were then left out of the first petition
in order that they might not defeat ii.
Now they come in with this to middle
voters and make them vote down both.
