CITY TO VOTE
ON WATER PLAN
Ordinance for Bond Election
on March II Is Passed to
Print by Oakland Council
Oakland Office San Francisco Cali.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1016 Broadway, Jan. Is.
The City Council tonight passed to
print by unanimous vote an ordinance
calling the bond election for the sub
mission Of the Bay Cities Water Com
pany's municipal water supply project
for Saturday, March IL, two days be-
fore the city municipal election. The
ordinance calls for the issuance of
bonds for $5,700.000 to purchase the
proposed water supply and equipment
at $3,750,000 with $1,950,0o0 for a dis
tributing system in the city. The
bonds are to be serials. running for
forty years, with interest at 4 per cent.
Before the ordinance was read, At
torney r. NJ. Fitzgerald for the Bay
Cities Company announced that the
corporation would agree further to
safeguard the city against adverse
claims by giving a bond in the full
amount of the payment for the works,
or 1t would agree to place In escrow
all payments from the city until the
plant should be complete and deliv-
cred to the city, free and clear Of all
incumbrance.
"In short the company" Fitzgerald
said, will arrange SO the city cannot
possibly lose a dollar If the company
does not I'LL It's agreement.
A communication from the company
covering this matter was filed with the
Council. Councilman Howard in vot-
ing for the passage to print of the
ordinance said:
las a Councilman 7 shall vote for
this ordinance because it will cost no
more to pass 1t up to the people than
not to do so under the agreement
with the company. Secondly, I think
the people want an opportunity to vote
on this proposition. But as a private
citizen, I shall vote against the Bay
Cities proposition because I think it
is immature and indefinite, and I be-
lieve the action of the Council is not
well considered and is not business
like
Councilman Howard added that he
made this explanation of his vote In
order to be consistent with his dec
larations last week on the municipal
water question. Howard read a pa
per advocating the establishment of
municipal salt water pumping plant
for street sprinkling purposes, and for
fire protection in the business district.

VINE EXPERT
BACK FOR TOLL
Professor BiOletti Returns
From Three Years of Ar
duous Study in New Lands
HAS ACHIEVED HONORS
Results of Experiments i'll
Africa and Europe to Be
Used on California Vines
Berkeley office San Francisco Call.
2148 Center street, Jan. 16.

After three years of study and ex-
perimenting in South Africa and
Europe, Professor Frederick T. Bio
letti returned to-day to the University
OF California, to occupy an important
position wherein his work is expected
to be of great value to the viticultural
interests of the State.
professor Bioletti is to be professor
or viticulture. Although he is official
~ referred to as an assistant profess
sor' he is practically supreme in his
department, as he has neither superior
nor associate in his particular field. He
is to apply the results of three years
work abroad to the solving Of prob
lens that affect the wine and grape
industry of California, and is to have
free rein in making use of knowledge
gained in foreign countries.
The friction that was feared might
follow Professor Bioletsi's return 10
IWights objection to Bioletti's taking
equal rank in the same department
with him, has been obviated by Pro-
fessor Twight's decision to remain
with the university, but to assume the
title of lecturer in the department, be-
ing independent of Professor Bioletti
or any other instructor.
Biolettfs advancement in his field is
looked upon by observers as phenom-
enally rapid. Three years ago he
left position here where he was rated
as merely an instructor, an inxerior po-
sition, to accept a. Government place
as chemist and viticuItural expert in
South Africa. He served in Africa
with distinction. producing valuable
results and earning a name and repu-
tation that was considered enviable.
His recall to the University of Cali
fornia came last summer, when he
was offered the place and rank of an
assistant professor with salary and
powers correspondingly increased. He
accepted the offer, with the proviso
that he be permitted to spend three
months before his return to this coun-
try in study of viticultural conditions
in Algeria and Southern Europe. The
permission was granted, and 1t Is from
these fields that Professor Bioletu has
just come.
He says that methods of winemakers
in Europe have been signally changed
during the last few years, notably by
the use of cultures of pure yeast in the
making of wine. Professor Bioletti
says that many of the diseases hither-
to regarded as incurable have been
treated with success by the modern
doctors of vines in Europe. and that
he hopes to utilize what he has learned
of their methods. in this State, for
the benefit of California winemakers
and vineyardists.
Professor Bioletti's speciality when
at the university in other days was
olive culture, and this branch of the
Agricultural Colleges work which has
not been so enthusiastically prosecuted
since his departure is expected to be
revived with his return.
