.RFv|VES PLAN TO
TUNNEL ESTUARY
Scheme to Replace Bridges With
Subway Advocated by
Supervisor Kelley

OAKLAND. May 6.--Supervisor j. NJ.
Kelley has revived scheme to tunnel
the estuary and remove the drawbridges
at Harrison and Webster streets. which
he regards as a distinct hindrance to
the development OF Oakland harbor- The
project had it's inception in 1907 Mayor
Mott and Mayor r. K. Taylor OF Ala
media. with members of the chamber OF
commerce and Merchants exchange
declared in favor of it,
County Surveyor Haviland was ap-
pointed chairman OF a committee to re-
port on the engineering phases OF the
scheme. Haviland was caarious about
committing himself. but felt that there
were no insurmountable difficulties IN
the way. The question was raised
whether the government would insist
on being consulted. and the district at4
torney was instructed to report on this
phase. The estimate was that the tun
mel would cost considerably in excess
of $1,000 900. and the problem OF dis
tributing the financial burden also arose.
Several months ago Haviland was asked
to report on the cost Of an accurate
survey and engineering costs. but there
the matter rested
Supervisor Kelley said today that hS.
felt that the time was ripe TO take de-p
cisive measures and get the actual tun-4
mel project under way.
Park Improvement plans were started
under way this afternoon at a
meeting Of the newly appointed park
commission. That the park properties
may be enjoyed pending the gardening
work arrangements are being made now
for policing TO prevent rowdyism. and
in this matter Commissioner Esdoh re-
ported at the meeting that he had Sc
cured not only police for the willows
on Lake Merritt for the next 10 sun
days. but an agreement from the own
ers of the property abutting on the
park to defray the expense incurred.
Regarding the control OF the park
portions OF public school grounds. Edoff.
as a special committee. will confer with

PROFESSOR WICKSON
DEFENDS DAIRY FARM
Dean of University College of
Agriculture Replies to Suit

OAKLAND. May 6.-Prof. Edward j.
Wickson, director of the United States
agricultural experiment station and
dean of the college of agriculture at
the University of California, submit
ted an affidavit today tending to en-
tighten the superior court in the dis
pute which has arisen between the
commercial dairymen of Alameda and
the university authorities over the
maintenance of dairy farm at Berke-
ley.
The dairymen asked a perpetual in
junction against the maintenance OF the
university dairy farm on the ground
that 1t was an active competitor for
trade about town and that no stu
dents were availing themselves OF the
course offered.
Professor Wickson said that the uni
versity herd of pedigreed mileh cows
served a useful purpose by giving the
students an opportunity to distinguish
between the individual cows and breeds
Inspection of cattle was an important
feature of the course, the aff1ant said
and the cows also gave opportunity TO
impart knowledge of the best methods
of handling dairy products.
complaint for injunction amended
along technical lines and several briefs
quoting authorities on the subject were
also filed today. Judge Murphey has
the matter under advisement. sas3
