CITIzFNS AROUSED
FOR BOND ISSUE
Prominent Speakers Show Great
Need of Park and the
Incinerat0r

BERKELEY, April 27.-The purchase
Of the proposed city park in North
Berkeley and of an incinerator was
advised tonight at an enthusiastic mass
meeting of citizens in the Masonic tenn
pie. when Mayor Crank K Mott of
Oakland, Prof. Charles Gilman Hyde
Of the University of California, John
McLaren. superintendent of Golden
Gate park in San Francisco, Judge
William H. Waste and Miss Jessica
Peixotto OF the department of sociology
Of the university made stirring ad-
dresses.
The requirement of the park and
incinerator at the bond election
Wednesday were deemed economic, san
itary and useful measures. as each
speaker in turn presented a new phase
OF the problem and gave reasons why
the property known as the old Indian
burial grounds should be purchased by
the city as park and Fairgrounds.
Professor Hyde, head of the depart
ment OF sanitary engineering of the
University Of California, spoke on the
proposed incinerator. He said that it
was the most economical and practical
method Of the sanitary disposal OF
garbage for any city. The speaker
pointed to the experience of some cities
. on the coast and said that Berkeley
should follow their example.
Mayor Frank X. Mott said that the
cftizens Of Oakland were out of pocket
Just $500, 00e because the bonds for the
purchase of the Adams point property
for $26o, 600. were voted down years
ago. The property recently acquired
was purchased by Oakland for $500, 900.
Berkeley should profit by the ex-
ample of Oakland" he said. You have
d beauty spot of nature which is Of
fered the city for a reasonable sum
and: the best thing that Berkeley can
do is TO acquire the land instead of
waiting for several years when the
park, site win be considerably enhanced
in value.
THE site is a natural park, as II
stands. on the rugged slopes Of Berke-
ley: hills overlooking the bay. The
people OF this city cannot make a mis-
take by the purchase Of the property
ION Wednesday"
The beauties of Golden Gate park
in San Francisco are all your own
duplicated in this hill site" said the
superintendent of Golden Gate park,
John McLaren of San Francisco. We
might be said to be living in the age
OF the second story today. but by
and by we will live in the third story.
Land viii become more valuable and /
would advise the requirement of the
park grounds by Berkeley. AS I said
when I saw the beautiful piece of
ground, TO see the park is to vote for
the bonds"
= The park and incinerator question
was characterized by DR.. Jessica
PeiKotto of the faculty Of the univer-
sity as a public movement based on
public health and public welfare
Judge William II. Waste said that
to the women is due the interest that
would be taken in the bond election
Wednesday when the park and incin-
orator question would come Before the
citizens at the polls. He pointed out
the economic value of the land and de-
clared that he wished to correct an
erroneous impression some persons had
that the sale Of the park would en-
hance the value of other property Of
the owners Of the park

North From MagdaIena Bay
Toward San Diego

SAN DIEGO, April 27.-At 9 o'clock
this evenings the Point Iona station
was in wireless communication with
the Arethusa, the mother ship" Of
Lieutenant Commander Cones tropedo
fiotilla. The Arethusa at that time was
a few miles north of Ensenada She re-
ported that the fotilla was some miles
behind her, that 1t had left Magdalena
bay first, but had made stops, and that
the Arethusa had passed 1t early this

The wireless messages received were
somewhat vague, but the general idea
conveyed is that the fotilla is due to
arrive here in a few hours and that the
trip has been made slowly on account
Of frequent fog banks.
