MACADAMIZED STREETS.
Trustees to be Memoralized Con-
cerning Their Care.

At the meeting of the Capital City
Wheelmen last evening it's Street Com
mittee was instructed to respectfully
memorialize the Board of Trustees
concerning the removal of mud from
the surface of macadamized streets to
preserve them and as a matter of
economy.
1t was represented that the time to
do so is Immediately after the first
rains; that to fail to do so is certain
to entail heavy cost for repairs; that
the accumulations of the summer, in
winter form a mud which impedes
drainage and forces moisture, by re-
tention. to the substructure, followed
by settling, breakage and deterioration
of the street; that if the mud is prop
erly removed with scrapers the surface
will be preserved, drainage promoted
and the streets will remain dry the
winter through and not suffer any in-

ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS.

any discussion on that point must neces- sarily be super1uous
 The story of yesterday was really told In this paper several months ago, when 1t startled Oakland of publishing the fact that Frank Leach's paper, then support ing Davis, had been purchased in the interests of Dr. Pardee's gubernatorial candidacy.
 NOW word about the Pondinky Club that did such good service at the prima- ries for pr. Pardee. The "Pondinks," as the members call themselves, appear at present to be the stronghold of the Re- publican party in this county. Two years ago, the club was organized in a little cigar store on San Pablo avenue mainly for the purpose of supporting Sam P. Hall Tor Superior Judge. Their purpose was gained and 1t was thought that the club, which at it's inception was regarded as somewhat or Joke on account of it's club after election. This was not the case. Like waterfront litigation, 1t grew and grew and Bert Swan and Al Williams and hundred others found that they had something on their hands that was new and not anxious to die. The club encour- aged candidates and candidates encour- aged the club, and I believe that to-day that one club can control 2000 votes. It Is vastly superior to the ordinary ward clubs. because it knows no geographical boundaries. Its hundreds of members can go anywhere without trespassing and there are enough of them to enthuse a political Klondike. In fact. judging by yesterdays primaries, not to be 'in'' with the Pon- dinks is to be ''out of it"

day evening the Assessor will appear and make his own explanations.
 Councilman Heitman is inclined to be very sarcastic regarding the position of the City Board of Equalization, the City Auditor and the assessment roll MT. Snow is both Assessor and Auditor, and the charter provides that he shall not make an independent city assessment but shall accept the County Assessors figures. Notwithstanding this, both city and coun- ty governments sit as Boards of Equali- ZatiOn and separately pass upon the as- sessments. This dual work always leads to trouble.
 MT. Snow being Auditor as well as As- sessor, has the authority to take from the roll property that should not be there, because of its having been once assessed. On this ground, he has positively refused to obey the resolution of the Council passed last night to put the Seyenth-street local line on the assessment roll because 1t Is already assessed by the State Board of Equalization. and he has been served with a certified copy of such facts by State Controller Colgan. MT. Heitman be- lieves that all the work of the city equal iZers might be offset in the same manner. and he declares that the work of equaliz- ing is simply a farce.
