OF bridge across it. This opinion be
based on a special law which was passe d
By the last Legislature empowering tho
Supervisors 10 com bine with the rail road
in the construction of a double bridge
over the estuary. When the law was
drawn up here it was definitely uu-
derstood by the people that it was to pro-
vide for either tunnel or a bridge, and
District Attorney Shook was instructed TO
make il read that way. But he did not
do So and the omission was not detected
until after il passed one house. /. was
then late in the session, and rather than
risk the defeat of The bill it was decided
not 10 try to amend II.
But the friends of the tunnel idea claim
that this special law does not affect the
general law, which empowers Supervisors
TO construct roads, bridges and adiunc,s
to highways. They claim that tunnel
is an adjunct to highway and that a
crossing TO stream either over or under
it is fully justified by the law, as the
Supervisors may elect. They propose to
follow this idea and show that they are
correct.
But even if unsuccessful in persuading
the Superv sors 10 do what it is believed
they have a right to they will not abandon
the fight. 1t is conceded that under the
general law the cities OF Oakland and
Alameda can build a tunnel. though why
the county cannot as we'll is not explained.
In any event, should one resource fail the
effort will be made to induce the ci.les to
undertake the work. and as there is vast
proponderance in favor of it there would
be little difficulty in getting bonds voted
for the purpose.
Library Deadlock.
ALAMEDA, CAL, May 6.-There is q
deadlock in the Board OF Library Truste es
over little matter of patronage, namely,
the appointment of a second assistant.
When the present board went into office
Miss Mary Harbaugh was removed, and it
was decided to engage two assistants and
to divide the salary between them. Mrs.
Marceila Krauth was selected as the first
assistant and the appointment of the
other one went over 1t now appears that
there have been too many promises OF
support made by trustees, and as result
they are not aole to agree upon the other
appointment. The leading candidates are
Miss Helen Wiggin, daughter OF NJ. P.
Wiggin, and Miss Carrie Pratt, at present

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALL,

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9OS Broadway, May 6. !
The cities of Oakland and Alameda are
now regretting that they did not have in
serted in the bill regulating bridge build
ing by Supervisors a section relating to
tunneling. Treasurer Forderer of Ala.
media was of the opinion that such a
clause was to have been included in the
provisions of the bill, but such is not the
case, and if tunnel be built beneath the
estuary it will have to be done without
the financial help OF the county.
The opinion of the District Attorney,
stating that the Supervisors could not
at this time without further legislative
power take any hand in the construction
of tunnel, has proved very dishearten.
ing to the civic and mercantile bodies OF
both cities, who had expected that the
Supervisors would shoulder the biggest
half of the cost. They cannot do this,
and consequently much time will elap
before tunnel is built under the estuary.
This tunnel proposition is a splendid
one," SAID Supervisor Church, 'but it has
not been fully considered in all its DE-
tails. The fact does not appear to have
been noticed that for bridge, even a
doube-deeked one, the approach would
commence at Third street. whereas for a
tunnel it would be necessary 10 commence
the approach at Sixth street. From the
| point where the tunnel commenced to the
wafer front the street would practically
be ruined, and this would mean many
thousands of dollars of damage suits from
property-owners. which would, in my
opinion, be allowed them. Not one word
of this phase of the situation has been
said, and it would be one of the most i'm
portant factors N the case.
''At the present time tunnel is not an
actual necessity, although it would be the
best thing 10 do in view of the future
growth Of these two cities. Perhaps even
with the damage suits a tunnel would
| prove the least expensive OF the two meth
| DDS of crossing the estuary, but nothing
can be undertaken now except by the
municipalities and ciazens independent
