COUNCIL TO
 TAKE ACTION Lake Merritt Will Be Greatly Improved. CEMETERY CREEK PLANO FIRST MOVE TOWARD MANY
 NEEDED REFORMS.
CEMETERY CREEK PLANO
The Offer of the Railroad May Be Accepted and Park Be Filled In on
 Marsh.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
sos Broadway, July 23.

SU6 bTOdQWdy, July
 Although Cemetery Creek and certain portions of Lake Merritt have been ac. knowledged public nuisances for over twenty years, no energetic effort has been made to abate them and to provide a remedy until the formation of the Lake Merritt Sanitary Improvement Club week ago. The matter will receive at tention at the hands of the Council next Monday night
 It has always been the crowning shame of Oakland that the beautiful body of water right In the center of the city should be a nuisance and menace to health instead of a handsome pleasure ground. This idea has been expressed thousands of times on platforms and in print, but 1t has never gone farther. No one or no body of citizens has decided to take the necessary steps to produce per manent relief With the development or the country to he north and east of the lake, the necessity Is now so great that it cannot longer be ignored, and the inn provement club has taken the initiative
 One of the objections always brought up when the matter has been discussed previously has been that it was a local matter and should be confined so far as payment for 1t is concerned to the prop erty-owners who would be immediately benefited. As these property-owners consider that the benefits would be shared by the whole city as well as by themselves, they have contended that the dredging of the lake and the building of a storm sewer down Cemetery Creek should be paid for by direct taxationof the whole city. Unless the present plans are changed the improvements will De paid for by a tax upon the entire city; a tenn porary sewer will be built along Valdez street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty second, while Lake Merritt is being dredged; the lake will be dredged to a uniform depth of four feet below mean high tide; street will be opened and sewer constructed along Cemetery Creek, and the east side sewer. will be projected into the deep water of the lake. These are the plans upon which the property owners and the Councilmen have mu- tually agreed, and which there is every prospect will be carried out.
 In this connection attention has also been called to the fact that this would be a good time to acquire the plat of waterfront property on the west side of this lake between Eighth and Twelfth streets, which was offered by the Water Front Company recently to the city for S5000. This tract consists of several acres, and with the dredging from the lake could without expense be converted into a flne level park in the same manner as the West Oakland Park is now being de- veloped.

DECLINES AN EASTERN CALL. Dr. Coyle Will Remain on the Coast
 for the Present.

OAKLAND, July 2S.-Rev. R. F. Coyle. D.D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church. returned this morning from a flying trip to New York, where he spent last Sunday in Investigating a call ten dered him by the Madison-avenue Pres byterian church. He was only in the city two days, but in that time he de- cided that he did not want to become the pastor of the congregation which gave him such a unanimous and hearty call.
 'The church." said Dr. Coyle to-day, Ifs called peoples church. and that fea- ture of it would render the work very agreeable to me. But there are other things not so agreeable. The building is not attractive; it is a large stone struc- ture, and the auditorium is somewhat gloomy and somber. The church is going through a transitional period, and the outcome is somewhat doubtful. I do not care to go into details at present, but later on I will make a fuller statement with regard to it. l will not accept the call"

 The following circular was issued to- day and is being sent out to all firms in this city:
 There Is a strong effort being made by inter- ested parties to cause the permanent removal of Webster street bridge and the construction of new at point about 2,000 feet east of Webster street or above the Adams wharf property. Pending the construction of the new bridge, 1t is proposed that all travel between the cities of Oakland and Alameda be by way of Park street which Is reached from Oakland by way of Twenty-third avenue.
 You that much of the traffic will be compelled to make detour of about seven miles to reach that portion of Alameda known as the West End, and all the West End people will be compelled to reach Oakland by making the same detour by way Of Park street. The Southern Pacific Railroad has very kindly and generously offered the people, through the Board of Supervisors, the free and uncondi- period required to construct the new bridge at whichever point selected. We understand that the county will, in all probability, construct the necessary roadway on the Alice street bridge provided that the cities of Alameda and Oakland construct the approaches thereto.
 It is possible that the expense (about S1, 400 of which Alameda's portion will be S1 200 or more) cannot be all borne by them, and that public subscription must make up the defi- ciency or have bridge for at least six months, other than Park street. This work will, In all probability, continue through the winter and all teaning will be much more ex- pensive than in the dry season
 Are you willing to subscribe something to fund to insure the construction of the thor oughfare? If so, leave your name and address, together with the amount you willing to subscribe, with James P. Taylor. 455 Ninth
