BIDS WANTED FOR
QUAY WALL WORK
Board Accepts City Engineers
Plans for 1000 Feet to
Cost S350,000

OAKLAND, July 13.-Contracts for
the construction of 1000 feet of the
quay wall in the estuary will be let by
the board of public works August 13.
The plans and specifications prepared
by City Engineer Turner for the first
section of the wall, extending 1000
feet from Myrtle street to Clay were
accepted by the board this morning.
Secretary Fawcett was instructed to
advertise for bids and August 13 was
set as the day for opening the bids and
letting the contract. The work will
cost. $3.50. 600.
Plans are yet to be prepared for the
remaining section of the wall, $50 feet,
between Clay street and Broadway.
The board divided the project into sec
tions so that work might be taken up
as the bonds were sold. This will en-
able the commissioners to hold a large
block of the bonds in the treasury and
avoid the payment of interest until
the money is wanted. The original
plans would have made the first section
only about 1000 feet, but Turner as
certained in making estimates that con-
siderable money could be saved by be-
ginning construction on 1000 feet.
The quay wall is part of the general
harbor plans for which bonds were
voted last year. The massive concrete
wall will be washed by 80 feet of water
at low tide, and will be so designed
that when future demands arise piers
may be extended obliquely into the es-
tuary, doubling in time the wharfage
capacity.
Bids for the Livingston street wharf
contract are now being advertised for,
and that contract will be let soon. BY
that time plans for the western water
front will have been accepted and con-
tracts Will follow soon.
The board ordered $500 paid to each
of the three engineers-M. K. Miller,
Otto Won Geldern and Colonel w. II.
Heuer-who passed on the estuary
plans. Colonel Heuer was voted an ad-
ditional fee of $500 for his labors on
the western harbor plans.
In connection with the bond issue

An average temperature OF about IL
degrees below zero was experienced.
