COUNTY NOW ELIGIBLE
AS THIRD DISTRICT
Title to Separate Congressional
Representation Assured

OAKLAND, March 30.-Supervisor
James NJ. Burke is swearing in the dep
uties whose appointment in taking the
census of this district has been ap-
proved by the Washington authorities,
and they will enter upon the discharge
of their duties April Is.
Alameda is at present joined with
two other counties in forming the third
congressional district. It's population
now entities it to stand alone as con-
gressional district. Recognition as
such depends entirely upon this census
and Supervisor Burke is using the fact
as an argument why every one should
take special interest in the census.
A circular letter is being sent to all
clubs. commercial bodies and city and
county departments, asking general CO.
operation and the request has met with
universal assurance of assistance. The
letter sets forth plainly the Importance
of the census to the community. and a
copy of it is being inclosed in the bills
and statements of all merchants to
their customers.

Tevis is the head, is expected to sub
NIT definite propositions for supplying
water in Alameda to the city council
at a committee of the whole to be

poration has conferred with Mayor w.

understand that Tevis is prepared to
make propositions in writing to the

One of the propositions is for the
Bay Cities water company to put in a
distributing system here and sell it to
the city on the installment plan, with
the understanding that the city will
buy water wholesale from the COM
pany.
Another proposition is to have the
Bay Cities concern install a system
here and operate the same. Gilman
told Mayor Noy that his company would
place solicitors in Alameda, Oakland
and Berkeley next week for the pur-
pose of obtaining contracts from pros
pective patrons of the prospective plant.

MERCHANTS TO URGE
PROTECTIVE ORDINANCE
Want Moving Van Operations
Kept by the Police

OAKLAND, March 30.-The mer-
chs4nts' exchange directors have begun
campaign against 'fdeadbeats." One
of the moves will be to urge the city
council to enact an ordinance which will
compel moving van companies and eX-
pressmen to file a weekly statement
with the police department of the
names of all persons and addresses
from and to which furniture or other
personal effects are moved. This is to
be a public record by which merchants
will be helped to trace fly by night
debtors.
provision for advance payment of
moving expense is also to be incorpo-
rated. The directors are following the
lines of and ordinance recently passed
in Detroit, which reads:
Any public moving driver shall be
entitled to receive the compensation pro-
vided in this ordinance Immediately upon
loading the effects to be transported Each
driver shall keep record of the place from
and to which he moves the household flrni-
ture of any person and the names of all
persons interested in the effects He shall
on Monday of each week file with the police
commissioner statement containing every
such transaction of the previous week The
blanks shall be furnished free upon applica-
tion TO the city clerk.
