TURNER'S NAME CAN
Go ON THE BALLOT
Brooklyn Township Entitled to
Two Justices of Peace

OAKLAND, Oct. 20.-Brooklyn town
ship is entitled to two justices of the
peace. according to Justice Waste, and
Attorney Turner, who received the sec
ond highest number of votes al the
primary election, probably will be
placed on the ballot as the second nom
1nee of the republican party.
Heretofore Brooklyn township has
never had more than one justice.
Mandamus proceedings were begun
after the election by Turner to compel
County Clerk Cook to place his name
on the ballot. A demurrer interposed
by District Attorney Donahue was
overruled today by Judge Waste that
virtually decided that Turner was right
in his contention that the law provides
for two justices of the peace and that
the provision of the county govern
ment act limiting the township to one
justice was superseded

HEALTHY CONDITION
Vast Enterprises of Corpora
tions Add to Oakland De-
veIOpment and Growth

among the vast enterprises that mark
the growth and development Of Oak
land and vicinity and bear evidence of
the healthy condition Of the realty
market are the Improvements under
way in the Richmond district contig-
uous 10 the Pullman companys shops
and North Berkeley The Standard
oil company the Pullman company, the
Independent oil producers, the Steel
Pipe company the Southern Pacific, the
Santa Fe and other corporations are in
vesfinE heavily in the erection of
plants, docks and switching facilities.
Each undertaking has brought hun
dreds Of workmen, many of whom will
take up permanent residence in the
section. This has greatly increased the
demand for dwellings and leasable
properties.
Much attention is being centered on
the big S350.000 refinery now in course
Of construction by the Standard oil
company at the west end OF Macdonald
avenue, near Richmond. A force of 400
brick layers and mecbapics has been
engs ged and the large stills viii be
erected apidly- An addition OF about
10 units is TO be made later at an ap-
proXimate cost of $4,000 a unit. or a

the local banks and to develop the city
