Charles Mulford Robin
son Files Report With
Mayor Mott.
Says Lake Merritt Pre-
sents Feature OF
Great Value.

OAKLAND June "A city made
beautiful is the theme Of an impor-
tant and immensely interesting. report
fled tonight with Mayor Frank K.
Mott and the City Council by Charles
Mulford Robinson, the expert from
New York, who was engaged by the
city authorities to make a comprehen-
sive study of Oakland's' possibilities and
provide the City Council and the
Mayor with the ideas, suggestions and
plans of an expert regarding the way
TO work to make Oakland a model city,
or at least place of vastly greater
beauty and attraetiveness than it ever
has been.
The report is a voluminous document
of about 1900 words. 1t includes
maps and other illustrative matter
making clear the various suggestions
of Mr.. Robinson. The report was read
and referred TO the committee of the
whole for careful consideration.
Mr.. Robinson recommends first that
the city of Oakland proceed at once TO
acquire land for the beautifyins of the
water and shores Of Lake Merritt. He
would extend the boulevard there, and
also would extend the Cemetery
Creek boulevard.
The creation of a so-called "civic
center" is one of MIR. Robinson's most
interesting ideas. He proposes to cut
Washington street through, and then
build Hall of Justice on land which
would be west of Washington street
after that street is cut through. The
City Hail, under this arran cement,
would be built in the block between
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, on San
Pablo avenue.
The expert proposes that Washing ton
street be extended through, on a curve,
cutting across the gore at Telegraph,
San Pablo and Broadway. making the
Postof1ce site the final end of the
curve.
The Improvement of the city's prop
erty near the Sixteenth-street station
is advised by the expert He would
park that section and use the De
Fremery property there for beautifying
purposes. His suggestions are accom-
panied as are all his ideas, with de-
tailed plans. showing the feasibility of
their execution and making the way
clear for those who are to first COM
prehend all his proposals and then
make them concrete
Robinson finally proposes the creation
of a great parked boulevard clear
across the city between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets.
