WANT TEvIS WATER
PROJECT EXAMINED
Alameda Councilmen Hear Mag
mates Proposal and Refer 1t
to City Engineer

ALAMEDA, April S.-W. S. Tevis,
president of the Bay Cities water COM
pany, submitted his plans for supply
ing water in this city to the mayor and
councilmen at a special conference held
this afternoon. Tevis laid particular
stress upon his proposal to furnish the
municipality with water at the whole
sale rate of 1711 cents thousand. the
minimum quantity to be supplied daily
being 1000, 900 gallons.
Tevis said that should the city de-
sire his company would construct a
local distributing system and deliver
the plant to the municipality on terms
to be mutually arranged. He said that
such local system would cost some
thing over 100000. In order to raise
this sum the city would have to issue
bonds. Tevis said that his company
would be able to supply water to Ala
media within IS months after the COM
mencement of operations.
Tevis said that it would cost the city
about Z cents a thousand gallons to
distribute the water. His plans were
referred to the city engineer who was
instructed to confer with the engin-
eering department of the Bay Cities
water company and report on the
sources of supply of the corporation
and the feasibility of the Tevis plans
Present at the conference were w. S.
TeVls, G. e. Gilman of the engineering
department of the Bay Cities company.

PLAN GREAT ROAD
TO COUNTY LINE
Scenic Boulevard Will Be Ex-
tended From Hayward in
Direction of Stockton

OAKLAND, April S.-The plan to.ex-
tend the Scenic boulevard from Hay
ward. it's present eastern terminus, to
the line between Alameda and San
Joaquin counties, was thrashed out to-
day at a conference between Secre-
tary A. A. Denison of the Oakland
chamber of commerce and District At
torney Donahue.
The projected road will be the first
good, direct road from the San Joaquin
valley into Alameda county. It's avowed
OBJECT is to divert to Oakland much
OF the business that now goes to San
francisco from points in the San Joa-
gum valley. 1t is the intention of
those who favor building it to con-
struct it in such a way that it will be
the preferred route for the heavy auto
mobile traffic into the valley
Where the money with which to build
IL is TO come from was the principal
question discussed today by Denison
and Donahue. A bond issue was sug-
gested, but it was thought that the
voters OF the county would not favor
IL at present The cost of the road
will be great. The road fund of the
county is exhausted for the present
year. and Donahue fatty refused TO
sanction the transfer of any other
county funds to the road fund.
The solution will probably lie in the
levy of special tax in the making
up or next years budget. which will
take place in a few months
