Club was addressed by several speak
ers last night at 1862 Peralta street in
regard to making a resistance against

that the Council had no right to give
private corporation monopoly of the

A SOUND BANK
Dissatisfied Man Sends Out
Telephone Messages Saying
Institution Has Been Closed
IN BEST OF CONDITION
No Run Is Attempted, but
the Officials Are Greatly
Annoyed by the False RumorS
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
111S Broadway, Feb 5.
Some person with malicious intent
land Bank of Savings had closed it's
doors. The intent is supposed to have
been malicious one, because it was
discovered by the bank officials that
during the day telephone messages had
been sent in many directions to that eff
feet, with the apparent desire to injure
the bank.
The story was started by anonymous
telephone messages sent to all of the
newspaper offices in Oakland. These
messages merely conveyed the informa-
ton that the Oakland. Bank of Savings
had closed it's doors, and as these mes
sages were sent during banking hours
it took but very few moments for the
newspaper men to convince themselves
that this was not true. The sender also
telephoned to various. points in the
West Oakland railroad yards, to the
Judson Iron Works, to merchants all
over Oakland and even to individuals.
The story was undoubtedly sent out
with intent to do the bank injury, for
it has been inspected by the Bank Com
missioners within the last few weeks
and was never in sounder condition. w.
w. Garthwaite, the cashier of the bank,
said:
I'VE have traced this matter and we
are pretty well satisfied that it came
from customer with whom we had
some differences. Never before in the
history of the bank has it been in
sounder and more prosperous condi-
tion."

Now to the purchase part Of the proposition
The city does not have TO buy it unless II

l. need not even consider the idea OF purchase
until after the valuation is announced But
the water company will in advance agree to
sell at the valuation to be hxed.
Touching series of conditions
which the committee found as obsta-
cles in the way of a $4,000. 600 issue OF
bonds for a water plant, Mr.. Howard
said:
But ,in the midst of all these doubts and
perplexities. let me point out 70 you how the
difficulties disappear under the proposition OF
lease with the right of purchase.
The immediate necessity Of providing in a
bond issue for water supply passes away.
and the people may take the matter up at
their convenience. therefore we may begin
at once the consideration Of the other projects
that seem to be urgently needed by the city
and demanded by the people.
II the city desires to make the plant pay
for itself aud not permit the investment TO
intrench upon the Is per cent limitation. then,
under wise administration, this may be ac-
cOmplished during the life of the lease.
While the city is operating the plant il does
not have to consider payment for any enhance
ment in value due TO the increase in popula-
tion and Of the volume Of business. This en-
hancement will accrue to it because the price
will be fixed now
