E. F. ADAMS WOULD
BLOCK CITY'S Plan
Attempts to Delay Construction
of New Fire and Police
System Until 1912

OAKLAND. May 27.-At a special
meeting of the board of public works
today, called for the purpose of dis
cussing procedure in the establishment
OF the new fire and police telegraph
system and the erection of a central
operating building for the system at
Thirteenth and Oak streets, Edison F.
Adams. from whom the Thirteenth and
Oak street property was purchased by
contract January 5, declared that the
strip OF land was not yet owned by the
city, and that it would not pass into
the hands of the municipality until the
final payment should be made, July Is,
1912, according to the agreement and
ordinance passed by the council In
view of this fact, he claimed, the city
could not proceed in the erection of
the building or in the construction of
the system in so far as it should affect
the property.
According to the ordinance passed by
the city council, January 5, in ratifica-
tion of the purchase from Adams, and
in authorization of the necessary ap-
preparation, the total purchase price,
including interest, is S53,007.4S. This
sum was to be paid in installments as
follows: $S,607.4S on January Is, 1910:
$17,250 on July Is, 1910; S16,500 on July
Is, 1911, and $15,75o on July 15, 1912.
The question has been referred to
City Attorney Stetson, and action will
probably be taken as soon as his opin-
ion has been received.
James Taylor of the Taylor lumber
company submitted to the board prop
osition involving the purchase from him
of piece of land so feet by 200, on the
water front, the consideration asked
being S135,000. The proposition was
laid over pending an inspection of the
property by City Engineer Turner and
members of the board, and the opinion
of City Attorney Stetson.

Berkeley Improves Streets

BERKELEY. May 27.-The city coun-
ell has ordered the extension of Oxford
street north to Los Angeles avenue
and the work viii begin at once. The
lengthening of this street will involve
the building of a concrete bridge
across Cardonices creek and is an
other evidence of the rapid growth of
the city TO the north. Beyond Los
Angeles avenue the street is being ma
cadamized and laid out with flower bor-
dered sidewalks and concrete curbs and
cutters, and in another month it will
be completed through Berkeley heights
across Contra Costa avenue to Indian
Rock park.
This is the second of the main city
streets 10 be extended TO Northbrae
this summer. Shattuck avenue, the
principal artery of the city, is now
practically complete with the excep-
tion Of the concrete and stone bridge
over Cardonices creek at Bergman, the
work on which is being hastened by a
large gang of men.
ARTISTIC ROAD BRIDGE
The reinforced concrete arch is now
complete and a corps of stone masons,
assistants and laborers are at work on
the buttresses and parapets, which are
of stone taken from the Indian rocks
at Berkeley heights. There will be
1000 feet Of surface in this bridge,
also faced with the same rock. The
cost of the work is $500. The design
is simple and massive and the bridge
will be a most artistic bit in an al
ready attractive road
The trestle connecting the double
track in Shattuck avenue with the
circle is to be replaced with a rein
forced concrete and steel bridge over
the creek and the work on this will
be completed during the summer. The
work Of road building and rail laying
is going forward rapidly. The giant
steam shovel has buried itself in the
middle OF the circle and the cut will
soon be completed AS soon as this
work IS done the bridge tunnel of re-
inforced concrete which will connect
the Shattuck avenue with the Ninth
street line viii be commenced.

the result that there has been marked

mostly people who have been attracted by
the activity of the city and the railroads
in establishing communication with North

friends who have visited the properties and
who are in many cases the owners of lots.
Most of these persons have not seen the
many attractive features of the tract and
it is safe to say that half OF them will be
buyers.
Crowds of people are attracted to the
Circle every day by the steam shovel which
is in operation there, and next Sunday the
