CONTRACT FOR DREDGING
LAKE MERRITT AWARDED
There Will Be Enough Money in the
Special Fund to Provide for
New Flood gates.

OAKLAND. Aug. 1.-THE Board of
Works awarded the contract to-day for
the dredging Of Lake Merritt The bid of
Fred Peterson for s23.So0 was accepted.
The contractor is to build the restrain
ing bukheads and provide proper way
connecting with the old gates, and dredge
80 g00 cubic yards of mud, to be deposited
behind the bulkheads.
Before voting City Attorney Dow said:
1T is with some hesitation that l vote for
the awarding of this contract, inasmuch
as a part OF the work to be done under
the contract Is OF a temporary nature.
In my Judgment ii is seldom advisable 10
do work of this character in a temporary
manner. Temporary work necessarily i'm
plies increased expense, and especially in
the case OF bulkheads, which rapidly de-
teriorate unless built in the most substan-
tial way. However, in view of the fact
that after this contract has been COM
pleted there Will be sufficient money left
TO build the gates in a permanent form.
/ Will vote for the same. with the hope
that this board will at once initiate pro-
oeedings for the construction OF the
gates

Oakland once San Francisco Can,


sos Broadway, Aug. 16.
Papers just filed in the Superior Court
bring TO light a story OF how an estate has
been diverted by the drowning last fall of
James SteinsOn OF East Oakland.
Steinson was in the employ OF the rail-
road company and had acquired a neat
little fortune in money and real estate.
He was engaged TO be married 10 MISS
Mcclure of East Oakland, but prior to the
Port Costa and met with mis- death hS
drowning. One tragedy led 10 another,
for three days later mis- prospective moth
er-in-law was so overcome by Steinson
death that she died suddenly, just an
hour before the remains of her daughter s
sweetheart were brought into the house
from which the funeral was TO take place
Steinson left no will or IL would have
been reasonably certain 10 suppose that
his intended wife would have received q
generous share of his estate. The prop
erty came under the jurisdiction Of the
Public Administrator, and heirs were
found in Scotland, but none in this cOun-
try. Steinson left Banffshire many years
ago, going first TO Queensland and later
disposition and accumulated about $500
in local banks, besides few pieces of real
estate.
When it was proved that he left no will
the estate was probated, and several
months were occupied in obtaining all the
necessary data from his brother John il
Scotland 10 prove that John and five chill
dren of another brother were the sole
heirs to the estate. Ii was al first thought
that some arrangement might be found by
which a portion of the estate would pass
TO Miss Mcclure. but as Steinson had evi-
IDENTIFY not anticipated any accident prior
to his marriage, no such proof of his in
tention existed
A petition OF the heirs authorized by
them from their Scottish home has just
been received by Attorney Darwin de Co
liza, and in a few weeks the estate of the
unfortunate Steinson will be legally dis
tributed 10 the heirs.
