ton for Improvement of Oak
land Water Front

OAKLAND, Aug. 31.-The first steps
toward compelling the Southern Pa
cifc company to equip its lines inside
of the eity limits with proper signals
and devices at street crossings was
taken tonight, when City Attorney Nc
Elroy was instructed by the city coun-
ell to draw an ordinance making it
necessary for the railroad company to
provide for the public safety. The city
attorney assured the council that the
body is empowered to take the pro-
posed steps.
This action follows the filing of a
report with the council by City En-
gineer Turner, in which he said that
the block signal safety devices at
of the fatal wreck on July 4, We're
inadequate.
No definite actiou was taken by the
council tonight on the plan to call a
bond election for the Improvement of
the Oakland water front. A delegation
of West Oakland citizens was in the
lobby when the question was brought
UP before the committee of the whole.
A number of representatives addressed
the eouncilmen in favor of including the
Key Route basin in the territory to be
improved first. When they had con-
cluded. Councilman Aiken announced
that he would not vote for call for
any bond election that did not contem-
plate the immediate Improvement of the
East Oakland water front, and Council-
men Baccus and Everhart declared that
they would insist upon the expenditure
Of a part of the money on the water
front in their districts.
A motion was made for an election
call for $4,500,000 bonds. the proceeds
to be used in the immediate improve
ment of the west section, between the
broad gauge and Western Pacific piers
and the estuary. President Ellsworth
offered a substitute for bond election
of not more than $3,000,000 A vote on
the substitute failed to carry and a
subsequent vote on the original motion
met the same fate.
The council will further consider the
municipal budget Wednesday night.
when ordinances providing for a new
iire engine house at Thirteenth avenue
and Hopkins street and for one in
North Oakland will be considered.

. The collegiate alumnae, gathered
here for a week of papers, reports and
essays, comparisons, advice and direc-

and played in good earnest. Out from
their trunks came messaline and ehif-

the city, paying a high tribute to
women in his short speech The last
speaker was Miss Gill, who begged.
the fathers of. young daughters to give
them their way about choosing a path
in life. saying. that one of the serious
drawbacks TO woman's development
was the tender fathers who are not
willing to have their girls face the
world and find happiness and expression
in work.
