The Governor and Party
Get Into a Small Boat
and Explore Creeks.
He Declared That the Trip Was
Merely One of Pleasure and
Curiosity.
Believed to Be in Connection With
the Sanitary R quirements of
the Tidal Canal.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9OS Broadway, April IA. (
Governor Budd made a tour of the estu-
ary to-day, and although he stated that it
was simply for pleasure it is believed that
his trip originated from some other mo.
tive.
The Governor and a party consisting of
DR.. Morse OF the State Board of Health,
DR.. Chalmers, San Francisco Quarantine
Officer, and J. 7. Burke approached the
Webster-street bridge in the Governor
Markham shortly before 10 o'clock.
The tug passed through the draws and
the Governor made a close inspection of
the bridges as the Governor Markham
steamed slowly through.
Alter looking at the bridges the tug
steamed as far as the new Adams
wharf, which seemed to possess great in
terest Tor the party. Alter going a short
distance above the wharf the tug turned
and made her way 10 the ebster-street
ship of the city wharf, where she was
moored. A boat was hailed from one of
the lighthouses on the Alameda shore and
the party got into it. They then pro-
the small creek on that side for some dis
tance. The Governor asked many ques-
tions, which plainly showed he had great
interest IN being informed regarding the
estuary, and alter rowing about three
miles the party returned to the Webster
street bridge and boarded the tug.
THE trip was only an outing" said
Governor Budd TO reporter, land has no
significance al all. l merely wanted a
lutte. trip OH the bay, and l thought 1
could enjoy myself this lovely morning
taking good look at the estuary"
All other questions failed TO produce
any information, and a few moments after
the Governor boarded the tug the party
steamed out of the estuary and made for
San Francisco under full speed
On account of the personnel of the party
1t is believed that the Governors trip was
in some way connected with the sanitary
condition Of the estuary. DR.. ]. C. Nc
Lean of Alameda is also a member of the
State Board of Health, and he has Just re-
turned from Washington after trying TO
secure as sanitary measure the consiruc-
ton OF the tidal canal at the Alameda end
of the estuary. for the purpose of having
tidewater pass com pleteiy around the
island of Alameda every food tide. No
definite information. however, could be
obtained from any of the party.

SACRAMENTO'S LIGHT.

ALAMEDA, CAL, April II. = Mayor
Hubbard of Sacramento has written to
the authorities of the city of Alameda
asking for full information with regard to
this city's ownership of its electric light
plant The information will be furnished
by City Clerk Lam born, who is an enthu-
siastic advocate of municipal ownership
of ali public utilities. 1t appears that
there is q sort OF com bination in Sacra-
mento to charge the city over $11 m month
apiece for lights, and the Mayor thinks
,his is too much. In Alameda the cost to
the city for similar lights is about 81 and
the electricity used here is generated by
steam, while that at Sacramento comes
from the State power plant at Folsom,
where the fluid can be generated at far
less cost than when steam Is used.
