KEY ROUTE MAKES
Big CONCESSIONS
Franchise Asking for Additional
1000 Foot Frontage May
Now Be Granted

OAKLAND. April 29.-Although no
official action was taken at today's
meeting of the wharves and water front
committee of the city council on &C
count of the absence of three out of the
five members, it is probable that the
Key Route franchise. in which the COM
pany asks for an additional 1000 foot
water front. extending parallel to the
Southern Pacific and Key Route moles
in what is known as the Key Route
basin, will be granted. The San Fran
cisco, Oakland and San Jose railroad
company has brought about favorable
indications by conceding to some Of
the objections originally raised.
The company has agreed that the low
tide line shall be fixed in a straight
line at some point yet to be decided
upon between 100 and $50 feet back of
the present United States bulkhead. and
also that it will extend Seventh street
westward to the water front on a
parallel with the Southern Pacific mole,
and allow the opening of three other
streets through it's property to the Key
Route basin water front. These streets
are Twelfth or Fourteenth, Twenty
second and Thirty-fourth.
The company agreed further to re-
convey to the city all wharfing out
rights in the basin. which rights. it is
claimed. were received under a grant
from Horace W. Carpenter in 1858.
These concessions were made through
Attorney Engs of the San Francisco,
Oakland and San Jose company in the
presence of Chairman MacGregor and
Noss of the committee, Councilmen
Stiefvater and Stachler and Assistant
City Engineer Brown. The matter was
referred to a meeting of the committee
of the whole at next Mondays meeting
of the council

this information is to be for the gen.
eral average and for the ear only of
one of the enumerators. He is worn
not to reveal any of the awful truths.
The mere getting of the information
will cost the government the pretty
sum of S5500,000. OF this amount
$4,000 600 will be paid to enumerators,
and the remaining million to super.
visors. With few exceptions the
enumerators will be paid on the basis
of the work done. In the country the
remuneration will be from 20 to 80
cents for each farm reported, while
the pay for names will range from
2 to cents. The districts will aver
age 1900 names, 1000 in the country
and 1000 in the cities. In the south
ern states there will be two enum-
orators in each district, one white
and the other black. All told there
will be about 1,50O negro enumerators,
but some of them will be employed in
the northern states. In the south the
negroes will be visited by enumera.
tors of their own race as will also
the whites by their own people.
There also will be about 500 women
enumerators. In point of numbers
New York will lead the list with g..
500 enumerators, while Nevada will

paration of the matter for the printer
will be done in Washington under Mr..

CIVIL GOVERNMENT AS 1T is.
New York Board of Aldermen Not
Considered a Good Example.

New York, April 1.-THE teachers
of civil government in New York high
schools have decided that practical
demonstration of that study by visits
to the sessions of the New York al
dermen are unwise. The procedure in
the city council is not, it appears, al
ways ideal.
The first experiment in practical
demonstration" was tried with large
delegation of girl students from an up
town high school. The aldermen were
not on their good behavior and among
the interesting things which the stu
dents heard was the challenge of one
alderman to anybody who thought he
could be inundated to come out
side"
The representative of a Brooklyn
district was the bellicose member He
took up most of the time of the city
fathers and the girl students in a
speech in denunciation of the Tam
many hall majority on the board, clos.
ing his remarks with this challenge.
Il don't intend to submit to their
gall and effrontery any longer. | am
going to assert my manhood and if
anybody thinks he can intimidate me,
he can meet me outside and | will
show him whether I'm afraid of him.
There was spirited reply by one of
the Tammany members.
Il hope the good Lord will spare
the last speaker" said the Tammany
man. Barking dogs don't bite, they
say, and | don't anticipate any trouble
outside. but now that our Brooklyn
champion has asserted his manhood,
if there is anything coming off, I'd like
a chance to officiate."
