BERKELEY, Feb. 19.-Eminent law
yers of San Francisco, Oakland and
Berkeley today drafted the resolution
which is to be introduced in the Legis-
lature tomorrow providing for the pre-
liminary steps involving the removal of
the State capital from Sacramento to
Berkeley. Garret w. McEnerney, Judge
John CARRIER and Warren Olney have
the legal end of the matter in hand.
They are members of the legal com
nittee appointed by the Berkeley
Chamber of Commerce. Their asso-
ciates on the committee are r. M. FitZ-
gerald, w. s. Goodfellow, F. ]. Solin-
sky and w. H. Waste.
Legal flaws have spoiled in the past
the plans of those who sought the re-
moval of the capital from Sacramento
ent time distinguished legal authori-
ties were secured to draw up the pro-
posal for an amendment to the State
constitution permitting a change of
location for the capital
Thorough organization of all the
forces back of the capital removal plan
was effected today and a programme
of speedy action was decided upon. A
legislative committee of twenty-six
prominent Alameda County men will go
to Sacramento tomorrow, carrying the
draft of the resolution framed by Gar
ret McEnerney and his colleagues.
Arrangements will be made in Sac
ramento for the visit of the Legislature
to Berkeley on Friday. The first read
ing of the removal bill will be had next
Monday.
A campaign of education designed to
convince the State that Berkeley is a
splendid capital site has been com
menced. Letters setting forth Berke-
ley's advantages will be sent to every
newspaper and public body in the
State. All the alumni of the State
University will be appealed to to aid
Berkeley in its fight for the capital.
Committees have been appointed to
cover every detail of the campaign
It was decided today by the execu-
tive committee to eliminate from the
arguments in favor of Berkeley any
detraction of Sacramentos features as
a city except the inevitable criticism of
the inconvenience attending the tran
saction of State business there. Gra-
tuitous knocking of Sacramento is to
be studiously avoided. Instead, the
limelight will be turned, full blaze,

following statement in the form of a
news letter from his office:
asked whether / think the removal OF
the State capital to Berkeley would be of adj
vantage to the university, Berkeley, to the
State. ] have no doubt it would be good thing
for the State; I presume it would be a good
thing for Berkeley; considerably doubt whether
1t would be q good thing for the university.
There are, however. two very good parable
cases, the University OF Wisconsin and the Uni
versity of Minnesota. each located In the State
capital. The University of Wisconsin has FOL
some years been making the soundest progress OF
all the State universities of the Middle West
The consolidation of the State library and the
university library into the magnificent library
building which has been erected the confines
of the university campus for the of both the
State and university is a monument which rep
resents certainly great advantage of having
the State capital and the State University to
gether. II seems TO me it would be pity tc
leave Sacramento on account of the magnificent
trees which grace the capitol grounds especially
the glorious pines which mark the limits of the
grounds. Whoever presided over the selection
of trees for those grounds deserves OF
honor ! should hardly think ii very likely that
at this late day the State would change the
location of its capital. but If this State does

The offer of forty acres OF land for
capitol site was made through the Cham
Der OF Commerce by the Berkeley Devel
opment company, OF which Louis Titus is
president and Duncan McDuffe is
secretary; the Ferrier- Brock Company in
Guiding George Schmidt, Eugene Brock
Francis Ferrier and Wickham Havens and
j. n. Spring and his associates. The land
is located a short distance to the north of
the town line and directly a line with
Josephine Grove, Bonita, MiIvia and Henry
streets. A continuation of Josephine street
now county road. bounds it on the west
side. while the eastery line is parallel
northward considerably further than it's
greatest breadth to the east and west. 1t
Is valued at $4,000 acre or $240, 600 for
the entire site.
The Oakland Traction Company now has
street railway franchise to the town line
on Grove street and will extend that track
through the property of the development
company, to point 100 feet from the south
easterly corner OF the capitol grounds. The
engineers of the Key Route Company have
already surveyed for a line out Hopkins
street TO the town line and will extend the
survey to point near the terminal of the
Grove. street ear line. The Shattuck ave
nue. line of the Southern Pacific Company
now ends at Rose street. but the company
owns sufficient property through the in
tervening territory to the town line TO
extend their tracks TO the line. From there
ON they will be given right of way
through the property Of the Berkeley De-
velopment Company to the terminal of the
Key Route and Grove street lines.
