To the Public:
In response to numerous inquiries
relative to the plans of the city coun-
Gil and board of affairs for the expend-
itures Of the proposed $4,000 water
loan, beg to submit 10 the public the
plans as outlined by the board Of
affairs after a consultation with a lead
ing contractor in this kind of work.
It is the purpose Of the municipal
authorities to relay all the cement
pipe in the central portion OF the city
with new iron pipe. This will require
about three and one half miles of iron
pipe An additional 14-inch pipe will
be laid from the pumping station 10
the intersection OF Raleigh and Race
streets and relay the four-inch cement
pipe on Race street with an eight-inch
iron pipe TO be used as a feeder for
the northern section of the city. 1t
is proposed to lay six-inch iron pipe
on Winchester avenue; four-inch pipe
on Florida, Maryland and New York
avenues; s.x-inch pipe on West Vir-
ginia, Virginia and Faulkner avenues
and relay the small iron pipe on Raj
eigh street with six-inch iron pipe
All of the pipes extending south on
these str cts will be connected with
siX-inch pipe at their intersection
with the six-inch main extending from
Winchester avenue to Raleigh on Will
son street. To give the residents Of
North High street and the northern
section of the city constant flow of
fresh water the cement pipe on High
street will be relaided with six-incn
iron pipe and connected by the line
from the intersection of Queen street
and Moler avenue, along Moler ave-
nue. to Frankenberrytown. The
streets that intersect Queen and High
streets will all be relaided with iron
pipe. To replace the cement pipe and
make the extentions proposed it will
take about $50 tons of iron pipe that
viii cost about $21.930. The cost of
laying this amount of pipe, according
to the estimate, will be about $1S.500.
I ask that the citizens of this city
give this all-important matter their
consideration and vote for the propoS-
ed water loan.

PREPARES TO OPEN
NEW CITY MUSEUM
Collections of Indian Art and
Colonial Goods Being
Placed by Curator

OAKLAND, July 1s.-Charles Will
komm. curator of the municipal mu
scum at 1918 Oak street, near the Will
lows park on the west shore of Lake
Merritt. is preparing rooms in the
building for an exhibition and expects
to open the new municipal exhibit in
the fall. He went east several months
ago TO collect a colonial kitchen ex-
hibit, and most of the articles have ar
rived.
The museum is one of Mayor Frank
*. Motifs favorite projects, and it is
was due to the executives efforts that
Wflkomm, formerly curator OF Golden
Gate park museum, was retained for
the management of the Oakland show
place. Wilkomm is an authority in In
dian basketry and the lore that grew
out of the aboriginal artistry, and he
plans to install a collection of such ma
tive products.
distinctive feature of the museum
will be the childrens room. There are
only two museums in the United States
which contain juvenile rooms, and this
departure alone will make the new mu-
nicipal curio place noteworthy among
museums.
The building in which the collections
are being housed is the old Stanford
mansion. 1t came into the ownership
of the city by the purchase of the Will
lows park tracts and instead of allow
ing 1t TO be removed and sold at de-
preciated value the mayor utilized the
structure for the organization of the
museum.
