] bush. The withdrawal of MT. Fibush ] from official life just at this time, when
 the water rate ordinance is pending, has caused much comment, as 1t is gen. orally thought that he should have re- mained another week until final vote is taken on the water ordinance. MT. Fibush says his business takes all his i time and he does not care to stay longer in public life.
 The appointment of Major Woodward is a disappointment to those who are anxious to juggIe with the water rates so that the ordinance so kindly pre- pared by the Contra Costa Company can be squeezed through the Council. Major Woodward at once declared him. self. for while he would not answer a direct question regarding the water rates, which he has had no opportunity yet of studying, he stated very posi- lively that he will be found on the side of the people.
 This means that Major Woodward may either decline to vote or will vote against it. In either case, his vote will be lost to the water companies, for should he join Messrs. Cuvelier, Upton Rowe, Girard, Brosnahan and Pringle the vote for the peoples ordinance would be to 4. Should the new Coun- cilrnan decline to vote, not having taken part in the previous discussions, the vote will be 6 to 4. Ever since the six Councilmen have gone on record, considerable influence has been brought to bear on some of them to cause them to fall down, but they all declare they will stand by their constituents. Major Woodward has been for many years real estate dealer and an actlVe iheili- her of Lyon Post, G. A. R. He has had a long experience in Oakland, and should make practical Councilman.

OAKLAND, Feb. 1S.-Chief of Police Lloyd filed his annual report to-day with the Police Commissioners. It shows a very satisfactory and economical admin istration.
 Regarding the condemned City Prison, the Chief says:
 Tn conclusion, wish to call the atten- tion of your honorable body to the un- healthy condition of the City Prison. Inn mediate steps should be taken, as recom- mended by the Mayor to correct and re- form existing conditions, and while am of the opinion that it will not be economy to attempt to make repairs in the present City Prison, because of its location. and the improbability of the erection of hos pital annex, which Is very necessary In the light of the attitude of those in charge of the Receiving Hospital, still, any re- lief would be most welcome"
