- <: Oakland OftIce san 'tranGiSco Call, ':...... : ', E. .:90S Broadway, July 2. The trustees of. the EruftvaIe' and Bray school. districts have accepted two hand some designs fer the new. schools which are to-be built in the eastern end of the city, where the increase in the number of inhabitants has neceSsitated the foTIna tion of an entirely new district.
 The Bray school district has been made necessary by the growth of the territory east of the city. It was formerly a DOT ton of the Melrose district, but the devel- opment of>that portion of the county is so rapid since the building of the Haywards electric road that more school accommo- dations became imperative. Some months ago the residents voted $15.000 in bonds with which to build a commodious eight room school house. The plans Of Archi- the site will be decided upon and pur- chased at once.
 The Fruitvale school is the. second building of it's kind necessary in that dis trict. Less. than three years ago q hand some building was erected for school pur- poses but the number of children has in- creased so fast that a second building is now necessary. The new school buildings will also contain eight large class rooms, and everything will be Of the most mod ern type. Both of the new buildings, in addition to class rooms, will contain l brary and reception rooms, cloak rooms = A departure. from the ordinary plan of school building is made by arranging the attic as a large. assembly hall. In the basement are play:rOdms, furnace rooms, and the appliances for warming the en- tire buildings and ventilating them with hot air: The .upIlateral system of lighting will be employed, as it has been found by . experts that where this system is in vogue pupils:. suffer less from their eyes than where. lights and windows are placed in- discriminatory: =.
 >. Both; the plans are of D. F. Oliver, and their, erection will be actively pushed. :':~ The Bray district. is at present one of . the most rapidiy developing sections of * .Alameda County, and. although the new . school*is% larger than is required at pres 'andther:'pre before: many years.

To Prevent Irrigation.

BERKELEY, July Superintendent Hall of the Alameda Water Company bidding irrigation of any kind is openly disregarded by a number of Berkeley resi- dents. The company has no means of en- the water altogether from the residences where no heed is paid to the order, and such measure as this. Superintendent Hall says, he is not yet prepared to take. tle has appealed, however, to the Board of Trustees, and the board has expressed itself as willing to cooperate with him in preventing the use of any water save for domestic and sanitary purposes. The board vii! not meet again till July II. but President Richards says that some course of action will probably be adopted then to enforce the water company's order should it still be necessary

 Second Lieutenant of Company G.
 ALAMEDA, July 2.-An odd tangle has been discovered with regard to the sec- ond lieutenancy of Company G. Some months ago there was a vacancy in the position, and Sergeant Mcdonnell was unanimously elected to the office. In ac- cordance with law he went before an ex- amining board, successfully passed the required tests, and was so informed. He thereupon assumed the duties of the po- sition. But 1t now transpires that through neglect no commission was ever sent to him. Colonel Smith of -le First Regi- ment, now in Manila, was the president of the examining board, and should have attended to the matter. But he did not, and 1t is supposed took all the papers with him when he left the country The technical vacancy has been discovered by those who are on the lookout for appoint mentS to office, and determined onset has been made at the Governor for an appointment to the position. McDon- nell's friends. however, are active and believe that the technicality should not be allowed to stand in the way of his re- ceiving the commission which he has earned. They are working hard for him, and hope to convince the Governor that the right thing to do Is to appoint him to the coveted position.
 Fourth of July.
 ALAMEDA, July 2.-As customary in this city there will be no celebration of the national holiday. Those who desire will attend the celebrations in Oakland and San Francisco and this city will be practically deserted. At g o'clock there will be a formal flag raising at the First Congregational Church, with appropriate exercises, but that is all there will be in several of the pastors will deliver patri- otic sermons and special musical services will be held.
