discharge and great amount OF Dusl-
ness for us will thereby be created.
is FORGING AHEAD.
Alameda County has accomplished
the last two years. Our cleo
trio railway systems have been
largely extended and by that
means all surrounding towns
have been brought so much nearer to
our business houses. A competing
ferry has begun business nd the lines
connecting with that ferry will in
crease the building of Oakland and
make greater city.
The tidal canal has been complet-
ed. Interests have been developed on
the Alameda County water front. The
tunnel has been cut through that con-
meets Oakland and Contra Costa Coun-
! ty. The ship building and ship re-
! pairing interests of Alameda County
are thriving as any one Will see.
/ safety harbor for all revenue cutters
will be on this side of the bay. There
are many other circumstances that are
making for a greater Oakland, and 1T
is the office of the Boosters to assist
in all ways to help Oakland along"
The two officers of the Boosters
who have been already quoted regard
ed Oakland from the point of view of
men who are engaged in largely fur-
nishing building materials and fuel.
l A
sion was supplied by the treasurer, A.
J. Snyder, who is engaged in the real
estate business and so is in direct con-
tact with the strangers from abroad
and from many parts of this State who
are seeking homes in Oakland and
other points in Alameda County.
Fifteen factories have been locat-.
ed on our bay shore in two years
said Treasurer Snyder. We are going
to have three overland roads coming
into Oakland. We are going to issue
bonds and provide for many improve
ments that will enhance the desirable
ity of Oakland and increase its advan-
tages in several directions.
Il have been watching Oakland
carefully for twelve years. In that
time there have been many changes
and the progress of this city has al
ways been forward. We have not
gone back one bit. Now every indica-
ton is fine for growth. Strangers are
coming in here every day to make in
/ quiries They are buying much Ala
media County real estate. We have lots
of room for growth and the building
section covers a great area, for the land
is practically level, so that there is not
much grading to be done when a
home site is to be made ready to re-
ceive its buildings. We hope that
transcontinental freights to Oakland
Francisco. They ought to be, for
there is not so much handling to be
done when freights stop on this side
of the bay and originate here. Our
population is increasing steadily and
rapidly"
