SENATOR'S ELECT FLINT AND
NIXON AND PARTY VIEWING
OAKLAND HARBOR.

During the trip around Oakland
haZbor Senator Flint was furnished
with maps and photographs and data
sufficient tc give him every bit of in
formation that could be mad about the
development Of the estuary. James F..
Taylor and E. G. Sessions, both of
whom have made a study of COM
mercial conditions in Oakland, were at
his elbow much of the time, and
pointed out the needs of the land
locked waterway that is now receiving
the overflow Of shipping from the con-
gested water front of San Francisco
The work that is now going on near
the mouth of the harbor under the SUI
pervision of the Government was in
spected, and trip was made up into
the tidal canal. Senator Flint asked a
multitudsAof questions He wanted to
know allSbf the facts, the kind of ves-
sels that came into the harbor and
about facilities for handling them.
AS the East Oakland basin was
reached some of the enthusiastic Oak
landers turned their attention to Sena-
tor Nixon of Nevada and pointed out
to him places that needed improve
ment.
Yes said the Senator from Ne
vada dryly, L was raised in East Oak
land, used to work in a box factory
over there, used to go swimming off a
wharf down there and have rowed
over every foot of water in this basin. y
The party swas then taken to the
Country Club in a special car, where
lunch was served. James p Taylor
acted as chairman and asked Mayor
Warren Olney, who had joined the
party during the trip, to extend the
welcome of the city to the visitors
Mayor Olney made graceful little ad-
dress in which he said:

a record in the criminal world as an
all-round bad man, as desperate in a
corner as he is clever with his fingers.
The police have definitely settled that
this man is Mackey through positive
information that reached them con-
corning his movements. He fits the de-
scription that is on file In the San Fran
cisco police department. Mackey's ar
rest will be comforting bit of news

ordinance and present the same to the
council at an early date.
In the future the mayor declared that
all supplies Of any nature whatever in
tended for the use of the city must be
obtained only on an order signed by
majority of the purchasing committee.
No city official had any right to buy
cents worth Of supplies, and no bills
would in the future be paid unless the
order for the goods had been given by
this committee.
Mr.. Fechter recommended the paving
Of Yakima avenue again. and thought
that the street should be treated in &C.
cordance with the best and most mod
ern methods.
Other recommendations were made
as follows; That the number OF paid
men in the fire department be increased
and that all paid men in the department
be placed under the direct control Of
the mayor and council; that there be a
retrenchment in the street department,
and that more work be gotten out of the
men employed, and for the money ex.
pended, even il the Office Of street COM
missioner be done away with and the
work done by contract; that money for
sewering, paving and other public inn
provements, where district was Great
ed, be raised by issuing FIVE and ten
year bonds, thus making the burden
lighter on the property owners that CO.
ment sidewalks be built instead Of
wooden walks, the latter being of less
permanent nature and more detrime ntal
to sanitary conditions; that the ordi.
nance prescribing the limits Of the city
on which cement sidewalks only should
be built be passed.
The mayor clearly defined the duties
Of the committees Of the council, and
then announced his committees for the
coming year as follows:

AND DULY ORGANIZED
Mayor Fechter's Annual Message
Contains Many Suggestions
Committees Named.

The new council met Tuesday evening,
all members being present, and effected
an organization. Mayor Fechter sub.
mitted his message to the council, ap-
pointed the committees for the coming
year and nominated the various city Of
ficers to be supplied at this time. The
council then adjourned to Monday,
January Is.
The mayor in his message enlightened
the council as to their duties and dis
cussed at length matters that would
come up during their term of Office
which they would be called upon to set
tie. Referring to the sewer bond propo-
sition, he urged an early submission to
the people of the matter to be voted on
again he stated that there had been
some opposition to the construction Of
q sewer for various reasons, but he was
convinced the best interests Of the city
demanded that not only trunk sewer
system, but thorough drainage system
accompanying it be built at an early
date.
Particular stress was laid upon the inn
portance of identifying the city; the
mayor recommended the securing of two
or three small tracts Of land in suitable
locations and making them into recre-
alton parks, even though the city we're
compelled to pay very high price for
the land. He called attention to the
strip Of land at the end OF Yakima ave-
nue., and to block los, situated between
Natchez avenue and Sixth street and E
and Streets, owned by the Catholic
church, as two desirable spots for recre-
alton parks. Natchez avenue, he said,
should be improved by paving, presum-
ably with asphalt; the middle strip
should be put in grass, the trees
trimmed and fountains erected. The
mayor was willing to donate one foun.
tain and improve one block OF the
street. He believed that If this avenue
were paved with ashphalt it would be
but short time until the people would
demand that all the streets in the city
be paved in the same or in similar
manner.
If there was any place in the govern
ment of . city whore economy was out
