BERKELEY.

The town OF Berkeley is so scattered
about the hills and plain at its foot that
few people realize how rapidly it is strid-
ing forward In what makes up city. The
town has been run with the economy that
necessity has imposed for a couple of years
past, yet the cost of running the corpora
ton, exclusive of schools, is nearly $4,000
a month. The present town officers took
their places the 1st of last May. In the
time ending December 81. 1894. the total
cost of government was $23, 1853 CO. This
date was the resignation of Clerk Wood
sum, and the end of the eight months on
December 81 would make the amount
nearly $4,000. Of this the salaries took
$5052 %; streets in repair, sprinkling etc,
took S6156 SO: electric lighting used up
S4S72 68. Bond funds in the main account
for the remainder.
A Degree In Half Time.
Sometime ago it was announced that
Harvard advocated cutting down its I'M
dergraduate course to three years. in order
to give more time for the prepare ton OF
professional work. The students of the
State University have solved the problem
that troubled President Elliot without any
shortening of the curriculum. For de-
gree there is required 100 hours OF work.

students have taken enough more hours
per term to get through with their 120
hours IN three years, but the credit
of having won his degree in the
least time of any student the university
has had belonged to Mr.. Lloyd, who en-
tered with the class of go, and has in two
years and a half accomplished the work
required for his degree, and expects To
have postgraduate standing during the
next term. Mr.. Lloyd has done TINS by
unremitting digging" never losing the
time that most students give to other
things in their daily lives.
Successful Graduates.
Two of the class of '94 that graduated

the outset of their careers. Fred 81. Mil
Ter, who came out civil engineer, and +.

successful in having their plans accepted
by Nevada City for her sewer system.

Miller, who is now County Surveyor OF

in for his turn by being given the work OF
subuividing 81, 000-acre ranch in Monterey
COunty-the San Lucas ranch-which
