Elections Unsettled Prices.
The time OF opening the bids for the
building Of the supe%rstructure of the
insane asylum at Cherokee, Iowa, has
been changed to Nov. II. The reason
for the change is that contractors are
afraid to bid owing to the uncertainty
Of the election and its effects upon the
manufacturers. They are. unable to
get prices from any Of the manufac-
turers owing to the fact that they do
not know what the purchasing power
OF the money will be after election.

Charles e. Jefferson of Chelsea, Mass, will
not be DR.. McLean's successor.
a telegram was received from him to-
night stating that he had concluded not to
resign from his present pastorate.
This leaves the First Congregational
Church where it was year ago as regards
the appointment OF permanent pastor.
Several overtures have been made to
prominent Eastern divines, and it has
been stated that premature publication of
their plans has ended negotiations. There
are some members of the congregation
who think Rev. Jefferson never had any
intention OF accepting the Oakland church
and that he came out here at the church s
expense for the pleasure of seeing Cali
fornia.
The trustees have almost decided to give
up seeking a permanent pastor and will
for while employ temporary help. Rev.
j. Halleck is now in Oakland from Ia
coma, which place he left few weeks ago
on account of his health, and it is sup
posed that he is looking for another church
and would like call to the First Congre-
gational.
Although Mr.. Jefferson's call was made
unanimous by the congregation there is
very little disappointment at his decllna-
tion.

BRIDGES ON BRIDGES.
A New Method Proposed of Settling
the Trouble of Crossing the
Estuary,

OAKLAND, CAL, April 29.-ColoneI
Lyman Bridges has new plan for set
tling the difficulty of bridging the estuary
He has submitted his plans to the Board
of Trade. and when the new officers have
been inducted into Office they will take the
matter up. His plan is as follows:
The all-important thing to do is to build so
those who come after us will not have TO undo
what we have done, and now while some we'll
minded people who look only to this days re-
quirements are asking the good people of Oak
land and Alameda, or more properly speaking
Alameda County, to have but one combined
railroad and passenger bridge built with steep
approaches on either end, so that teams and
carriages can be dangerously accommodated
by second story over the snorting steam
engine: gn ;o,,o ,o - -.
plans for the future as we'll as the present
should be considered and adopted How does
Oakland ever expect to become the greater
Oakland with only one seeond-story bridge?
viii that help assimiate the in nterests OF Ala
media with Oakland? No. There should be
bridge at Market street, Broadway, Oak and
Clinton streets. and the Webster-street bridge
removed. How can this be accomplished?
First, let the crossing OF the estuary
at al Ps by and hnd
viaduct with roadway twenty feet in width
having ten feet in width on each side OF the
street for sidewalk and half OF the balance of
the street on each side of the viaduct for street.
which for Broadway would be two thirty-foot
streets, which is entirely sufficient
From the north side OF Second street let
there be stone-faced entrance to Third street
to a tunnel built in masonry for two blocks
with an easy grade from Third street, under the
es .uary through q 24-foot iron pipe connected
with the tunnels at either end. At the Ala
media end of the tunnel gradual or more
easy grade can be made than on the Oakland
side The drainage of the tunnel is a simple
matter and when this economical passage way
for vehicles, local streetcars, ETC., is accom-
plished, then give us another viaduct at Oak
street, another at Clinton street and another
at Market street, and the Oakland water front
will be reality. The citizens of both cities
can avail themselves of the large tracts of
valuable manufacturing and commercial loca-
.tions, now and permanently idle for their non
accessibility.
The time must come wnen the immense ex-
pense of idle and non-productive property on
either side of the estuary will be covered with
warehouses, shipyards and factories. Does
any stranger seeking q location have his con-
fdence increased in any city that is begging
to have in six miles only one bridge across an
estuary Of such Importance to navigation and
traffic?
Let the Alice-street bridge be built ten feet
higher than at present, and made for double
tracks with both gauges; also provide for a
single-track bridge for Peralta street, when re-
quired, and work TO broad gauge intelligent
standard that shows confidence OF a great city
in the near future.

HUMANE S0CIETY'S REFORM.
Poun master Weitzel Does Not See
Why His 0 fee Should Be
Regarded With Contempt.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
9OS Rrnadwa Anril 90

SVo broadway, April -. J
The Humane Society has decided to
nave model pound. The pound of to-day
Is not the pound that was conducted by
Baby" O'Connell few years ago, but
neither is the humane institution that the
society and the present Poundmaster wish
it to be.
Herbert j.. Weitzel, Oakland's pound
master who works under the auspices of
the Alameda County Humane Society, has
an Idea that there is no reason why a pub
hc pound should be public nuisance He
also does not see why public Poundman
should be regarded as a common enemy.
de thinks there must be a perfect
method OF conducting pounds, and has
determined If possible to find out how to
go about it.
He has sent the following letter to the
Poundmssters of about thirty cities:
To the Poundmaster: am collecting data for
puoneauon concerning the public pounds of
the various large cities of the country, and
Will appreciate it if you will kindly give me
some OF the facts with regard to that of your
city.
For convenience will inclose list of ques-
1ions on which would like TO be informed,
anu IL may tax your courtesy for that and
any other items of interest concerning the
same 1t will be greatly appreciated, not only
by myself, but by the Society for the Preven-
tion OF Cruelty to Animals, for it is in the in
terest OF the society that l am working. Very
respectfully, H WEITzEL
Inc questions covering all the points of
interest to Poundman are:
Is the pound conducted under the auspices
OF the Humane Society? How many deputies
DO you employ? Is your office remunerated
by salaries or fees? How many wagons and
horses do you employ? What is the average
number OF dogs and head OF stock impounded
per month? About what per cent of dogs are
either redeemed or sold? Whal is your me ethod
OF catching dogs and OF killing them? What is
the average expense per month OF running the
pound? Can you send me copy of that Sec
tion OF the city ordinance which relates to the
pound?
II take q pride and interest in the
pound" said Mr.. WeitzeI land do not
see why so humane an office should be so
generally treated with scorn. We have
made great improvements IN this city
since the society took charge of the pound,
and with the assistance given by DR.. Car
penter we have done great deal of hu-
name work. But l want 10 have model
pound, and that is the purpose l have in
view"
