tors of the Berkeley art association.

mics. leather work, and other branches
of art. These will not interfere with
the regular annual exhibit of the as
ISOLATION as shown each year in the
past

Importance to Berkeley and has been
discussed in the past by the board in
the hope of reaching definite plan for
the financing of the affair.

URGES NECESSITY
OF BETTER STREETS
Oakland Commissioner Gives
Results of Investigations
in Northwest Cities

OAKLAND, Aug. 11.-Superintendent
Of Streets Walter c. Howe. who re-
Gently returned from a visit to the
cities OF the northwest, where he made
a study of street Improvements in
vogue there. submitted lengthy re-
port on the result Of his Investigations
TO the board of public works this morn
ing. Howe declares that Seattle easily
ranks first among the cities he visited
in point OF high grade streets, and his
report is replete with suggestions
CLEANED from his observations there as
well as in Portland and Spokane.
Howe was enthusiastic over the Vitri-
fed brick pavements which he found
in use TO a large extent in Seattle, and
quoted City Engineer Thomson of that
city in a declaration that vitrified brick
is the best and most economical paving
material that can be laid today.
The superintendent report lays
stress upon the fact that Seattle has
SS.42 miles of permanent street pave
ments. while in Oakland there are but
1926 miles. Los Angeles has IS miles
Of permanent pavements and Portland
has IS.
The board Of works was urged By
the superintendent to take immediate
steps toward the installation of per-
manent paVements in the district "
ing between Seventh street and the
water front. Howe said that the heavy
traffic in this district, due TO the large
number or warehouses and factories DO
Gated there. made il imperative that
very durable pavement be laid there
in the near future.
II is understood that the city officials
look with favor upon the suggestions
made by Howe, and that many of his
plans viii be adopted and put into ef-
feet al an early date.

RAISING OF SIEGE

Soldier Asks to Have
Hoodlums Dispersed

full uniform of a private soldier of the
civil war wearing the cap, badge and
belt of G. A. r. insignia with faded blue
clothes, fierce white mustache and i'm
perial, G. w. Johnson complained at the
district attorneys office today that he
lived in state of siege and demanded
an armed detachment TO raise the siege.
The invaders consisted of an army of
boys. youths and willful girls, who
made headquarters at bridge over a
creek abutting against the veterans
property in upper Fruitvale. From
their stronghold he said they dis
charged volleys of cobblestones at him,
threatened him with arson, tore down
his fences and released flocks of chick
ems intrusted to his guardianship.
The ancient warrior alleged that he
was frequently attacked by hoodlums
as he appeared on the streets, that a
mob of women had threatened to "get"
him because he complained of their
children to Probation officer Ruess.
Johnson explained that complaints
to Justice of the Peace Geary and Dep
uty Sheriff Reilly had brought no re-
lief and he demanded drastic action of
Deputy District Attorney Burpee.
His representations were received,
but Burpee held that Johnson had al
lowed his Imagination to run away
with him in his old age reports of in
vestigations of conditions in his neigh
borhood being to that effect He was
member of Zouave band attached to
an Illinois regiment during the war.

BERKELEY TAX RATE TO
BE LOWER THAN LIMIT
City Council May Not Ask Doll
lar Figure Authorized

BERKELEY. Aug. 11.-Contrary TO
the first expectation Of the new coun-
ell. the dollar tax rate provided for in
the charter will not, in all probability,
be found necessary to secure a sum
sufficient for the operation of the diff
ferent governing departments of the
city, as the figures of Auditor Hanscom
indicate that, with the school money
collected by the county, the taxes will
be considerably lower than those Of
last year,
If the present estimates are found
correct the school tax in this city will
amount to about Is cents on each 500
Of assessable property over the as
sessment last year of so to 35 cents.
However, considering that the high
school levy made by the county will
increase the county taxes. it is posi-
BILE that in the long run but little will
be saved on the school taxes. The city
taxes viii be about the same in rate
as last year, the increased improve
ments in property and higher valua-
tion making up the difference between
the new rate permitted and the rate
to be used.
