SANITARY ORDINANCE
MEETS WITH FAVOR
Merchants Ask Council to Make
Provisions More Sweeping

BERKELEY, March 15.-There was
no opposition today to the passage of
the sanitary ordinance which was
framed by the city council ordering all
vegetables and fruits to be protected
from dirt and dust, but the council put
the matter over until Thursday, when
a special meeting will be held with
Herbert Jones, president of the Berke-
ley merchants association, and T. H.
Nevins who represents an Alameda
county association.
The council expected that the new
ordinance, somewhat drastic in its op-
Grafton, would meet with opposition,
but instead Jones appeared before the
council this morning and declared that
the merchants were in favor of 1t and
asked that other provisions which the
council had overlooked be incorporated.
He asked that bakers be prohibited
from pasting stamps on bread and that
Chinese fruit wagons be properly COW
cred. The meeting Thursday will be
for the purpose of Incorporating these
additional health provisions.
The council this morning passed a
curfew ordinance at first reading de-
signed to make the parents liable for
their children being on the streets after
8 o'clock on summer nights and after
s o'clock on winter evenings. The
parents under the new law can be ar
rested and fined $40 for each offense
of their children or sent to the county
Jail for 10 days.

MAKING SURVEYS FOR
NEW ELECTRIC ROUTES
Field Work for Southern Pacific
Line Near Completion

OAKLAND, March IA party of
surveyors has begun the final field
work for the estimates on the exten-
sion of the Southern Pacific company's s
electric line from Melrose to San Lean
dro. The preliminary surveys were
made two years ago, and when the
present work is completed, contracts
will be let and the actual construc-
ton of the line started.
This new line will open up an extern
sive country TO suburban homes, pass
ing through Melrose, Fitchburg, High
land, Elmhurst and San Leandro. With
the exception of few strips of land
here and there, all the right of way
for the road has been acquired.
The electric road will cross East
Fourteenth street at Forty sixth ave-
nue., Melrose, and will pass by a prf
which it will follow to Central ave-
the old county road at the distance of a
few hundred feet through Fitchburg.
Elmhurst and the Iveywood and
Broadmoor tracts to San Leandro. The
station in the latter city will be To-
Gated at Estudillo avenue and Santa
Clara street. A connection is also to
be made with the Stonehurst branch
of the main Southern Pacific line,
though for what purpose is not given
out by the railroad officials.
Work is being rushed on the big
power plant of the railroad at Fruit
vale, which is to supply the current
for operating the electric system.
