covered 9 wide range Of SUBJECTS
some Of which were particularly
german to the studies, but were
still of nature to stimulate dis
cussion.
A paper comparing the public
school systems of twenty years ago
and the present day, opened the
meeting The member asserted
that the old idea of devoting the
most time and labor to q study of
the three Re was preferable to the
modern method. This view was
combatted by other members and
an interesting discussion was the
result. A paper on Falstaff came
next on the program.
"a Phase of Municipal Civil
Service was the title Of the next
report. This paper was q state
ment of deplorable conditions
actually existing in one of our
larger..cities, showing how easily
the civil service may be corrupted
if the higher officials are corrupt.
The discussion was Of unusual
interest. The last report was a
special paper entitled "Reach and
Grasp" wholesome, stimulating
essay compressed into small
space. The report OF the critic
and a vocal solo by one of the
members brought the meeting to
a close.
Il have no criticisms to offer on
the circle or it's work, " said one OF
the members discussing on Mon
day evening the Sunday meeting.
Il think we are doing very well.
But I believe we could accom-
plish more if we had a more def
mite purpose and worked toward it.
Would it not be a good idea to
choose a good subject of some
magnitude and assign several mem
bers to report on it, each taking
one phase of the matter for his
thesis? [ wish we might try
some such plan and see if it is
feasible. .

FINDS NEW WAY

214S Center Street, March 20.
City Engineer c. L. Higgins has hit
upon a new plan for draining Berkeley
of it's surplus waters and diverting
them so that they will not repeat the
immense damage to property that was
inflicted this year. In substance, the
plan consists in four big storm sewers
that will be built in the bottom of the
natural waterways of the town, on the
principle that it is easier to follow the
lead of nature than it is TO create new
ways.
1t will be possible to use but three
of the natural drainage systems, as
there is no system adequate for the
purpose in one of the sections-S0uth
Berkeley. One of the three sewers will
be laid in School House Creek in North
Berkeley, another in Strawberry Creek
in Central Berkeley and still another
in Derby Creek in South Berkeley. The
fourth Will be laid in an artificial bed
along either Tyler or WOolsey street.
Immense pipes. large enough to carry
off the surplus no matter how thick the
population or how heavy the rain will
be laid. These will probably be three
feet in diameter.
All this is to cost $20O, 900. that is, if
the Town Trustees decide that it must
be done. Engineer Higgins suggests
that the best way to pay for it is by
the district plan, each district being as
sessed for the benefit that will be con-
ferred upon it.
The rains Of the last month have
demonstrated that the sewers ought to
be laid, for whenever there was a heavy
rain the sewers Overflowed throughout
West Berkeley, making il disagreeable
and unhealthful for the people living
in that section of the t0wn. The sew
erS were Quilt for town much smaller
than Berkeley and naturally the in
creasing growth Of the city has finally
resulted in the overtaxing of the pipes.

CLUB TO TEACH
HOME BUILDING
Hillside Association Pounds
a Special Library for
Benefit of TOwnspeople
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center street, March 20.

214S Center street, March 20
A course in architecture will soon be
as necessary to the future home builder
in Berkeley as building permit, if the
plans that are now being developed by
the Hillside Club are carried to their
fYuition. The club, which is an organ
ization that would have tickled the
heart of John Ruskin or Matthew
Arnold, has resolved to found library
on home building so that the good peo-
PIE of Berkeley will know what's what
in architecture.
The club is native to the environs
about the north gate of the university
and social ostracism awaits the one
that will be anarchistic enough to build
according to his own barbaric tastes
and not consult all the nicely colored
drawings that will find a resting place
10 the new library.
The Berkeley ''renascence" will prob
ably date from the day that the new
Hillside Library of Architecture gets IN
full working order. AS a kind of a
forerunner of what's to come the Hill
side Club has caused to be published
and widely distributed a little PAM
phlet by Charles Keeler on Artistic
Home Building" This book probably
will be the death warrant of the
Berkeley "decadent," and the birth
certificate of the Berkeley "renascence'
in things architectural.

Proposal Made to Assign
FOurth-Avenue Franchise
GOES TO THE COUNCIL
Legality of Pro
ceedings by Which Mac
donald Bid Was Accepted
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

111S Broadway, March 20.
The Peralta Heights and Boulevard
Improvement Club has failed in its
move to get an assignment TO the Oak
land Transit Consolidated OF the Fourth
avenue cutoff franchise. which was in
cIuded in blanket purchase OF fran
chises by J. H. Macdonald, representing
principals who have not made public
their identity. Macdonald has demand
ed for the Fourth avenue franchise one
third OF the $500. the total amount at
which he bid in these and the College
avenue privileges.
This offer is considered a prOhibitive
one by the clubs committee which had
the negotiations in hand. Macdonald,
the committee declares, has admitted
that the cutoff franchise is of no use
to his principals-that they could not
utilize it, on the other hand, the Tran
sit Company desired it simply TO i'm
prove the Fourth avenue service into
Peralta Heights and the contiguous
territory. The two franchises involved
are merely new connections between
the Fourth avenue branch and the main
line on East Twelfth street. No other
company could under any conditions
find the slightest practical value in
these franchises except for speculative
purposes.
Macdonald's offer to make the assign
ment is considered by the club as evil
dence that the privileges are not OF
service to his principals for rOad-con-
structiOn purposes. The College avenue
franchise might be made valuable as
feeder for the "cOrkscrew' franchise
out Webster street, which is in Mac
dOnald's name.
Having failed to negotiate, the club
has abandoned that plan Of campaign
and will attack the legality of the pro-
ceedings under which the franchises
We're granted. and John Yule, the at
tOrney and president of the club, has
made a report on that phase which de-
clares that there are three fatal errors
which invalidate the franchises. This
report with a petition from the inter
ested property owners TO postpone hnal
action on the franchise ordinance. viii

morrow night.
