existence OF the other seems to be estab-
lsheo beyond doubt. To meet in a
measure measure the requirement for more school
1Dullolngs 1t has been suggested to the
low Lown Board that they exercise the privi-
Iege granted to them by the new charter
whereby they might call, after the proper
lornl mas been passed through, for spe-
clal election, with the end in view of rails
ing $4,000. Following is the section
winch covers this point:
Al at any time the Board of Trustees shall
ueeIn II necessary to incur any Indebtedness
IN excess OF the money in the treasury applica-
ole 10 the purpose for which said indebtedness
Is 70 DE incurred, they shall, if pettioned In
Wrltlhg TO do so by not less than 800 qualified
eiectors OF the town OF Berkeley, call special
election by the qualified electors OF the town,
W determine whether such indebtedness
snail be incurred; provided, that when such
ILueoteaness proposed to be incurred small
not exceed the sum OF $40, 900, the question OF
mourning such Indebtedness shall only be
submitted to the qualified electors OF the
town at general municipal election. s5 n
such Indebtedness shall he incurred without
the assent OF two-thirds of the qualified elect
ors OF SAID town voting on such question at
such election Before mourning such indeot-
edness provision shall be made for the collec-
ton OF tax sufficient to pay the interest on
such Indebtedness as it tails due, and also 10
pay the principal thereof within one year from
tax shall be special tax and the levy there
Tor shall be in addition to the total levy pro-
Vlded Tor in section 80 OF this charter
1t has been suggested by ex-Town Attor-
ney Thomas F. GRADER that the money
received in this way be spent in the erec-
ton of a single building on the Dwight
way lot, with the view of placing in it ali
the grammar and primary grades from
the kellogg School and 10 accommodate
the classes now occupying rented rooms.
II is believed that a building sufficiently
large can be erected for $4,000 and that 1t
could be made ready for occupancy by
next August or September at the latest.
DO Not Favor the Trip.
BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 17.-Consider-
able opposition has recently been mani
tested in relation TO the proposed Eastern
trip OF University OF California athletes to
compete on the track and field with Yale
and Princeton this spring. Many of the
alumni and students who rendered finan-
cial assistance toward making last years
tour possible object to any such undertake
ing this season. The ground OF their OBJ
lection is that last years debt is not yet
effaced, and, until 1t is, no additional OBJ
legations should be contracted. Unless the
opposition from the graduates can be
overcome 1t is not likely that an Eastern
tour will be made. Considerable support
IS received from undergraduates, but with
out the backing of the alumni it is be-
lieved that but little can be accomplished.
Several athletes are talking OF endeavor-
ing to pay off the old debt in time to par
ticipate in the Eastern games.
