BOARD EXPECTED
TO APPROVE OFFER
Supervisors Will Consider Pur-
chase of Hall and Tuolumne
Water Supply Holdings

An important step in the municipal
water situation comes up for con-
sideration before the board of super
visors today-the question of the pur.
chase of the Ham Hall and Tuolumne
water supply properties in Lake
Eleanor and Cherry Creek valleys.
The administration regards favor
ably the propositions put forward BY
Attorney Jesse w. Lilienthal that the
city pay 100000 down on the water
rights and land adjacent to Lake
Eleanor and secure an option on the
Cherry creek properties for. $500, 900.
At 1 o'clock today the public utili.
ties committee of the board will meet
snd it is understood that it will ap-
prove the Lilienthal offer The board
holds its regular meeting at o'clock
when the recommendation of the com
mittee win come up for consideration
by the entire board.
While it is thought that the super
visors will stand together on the propo-
sition, ii is expected that there will be
opposition developed at the open meet
ing on the part of citizens who may
appear to protest against the purchase
and the option.
The s1,000,000 which ultimately will
be paid for the property should the
board approve the committees recon-
mendatfon, will come out of the
$45. 5.000,000 bond issue.
With the Lake Eleanor and Cherry
creek properties and rights secured
the city could begin work on the dams
and canals needed in the development
OF the mountain supply system.

WANTS NAME PLATES FOR
PARKS AND FAIRGROUNDS
North Side Club Makes Request
to Commission

ALAMEDA, March 6-The North Side
improvement club has requested the
park and playground commission to
place name plates at the. entrances to
Mckinley park so that the general pubs
lie will know that the place is. a mu-
nicipaI recreation area open to all.
The club also suggested that the plan
be carried out with respect to the other
public parks and Fairgrounds through
out the city.
Mckinley park was formerly the
home of Judge James A. Waymire. The
grounds are covered with rare trees,
flowers and shrubs and, according to
members of the North Side club, are
often mistaken for private grounds by
many persons because there are no
signs to notify the public that the area
is now a city park.

tires. even such fra

trucks. When eggs are selling at the
high prices of the last months the own
er does not want to have many of them
broken on the way to town.
d. c. Dodge, owner of the Shirley
hotel OF Denver, is one man who, to in
sure quick and safe transportation, has
ordered a Franklin truck. He owns a
ranch near Denver, from which he gets
supply of eggs and milk for his hotel
The truck will have a carrying capacity
of 1000 pounds and will take it's load of
supplies over nine miles of ordinary
gravel road.
In the Franklin trucks the engine is
under the drivers seat, an arran ngement
which gives a maximum of carrying
space and at the same time makes the
motor easily accessible. Full elliptic
springs in front and semielliptfc springs
in the rear, reinforced by coil springs,

and with little jar.
further aid in the. absorption of
road shocks is in the use of pneumatic
tires. Large wheels with air filled tires
have been found by experiment. at the
Franklin factory to be more efficient
and more economical in operation and
to allow a more rapid service than is
possible with solid tires. The load is
shaken less and the wear on the ma
chinery is so reduced that the reliabil-
ity is increased over that of motor
truck equipped with solid tires. A third
factor in the reduction of shock to the
machinery and load of a Franklin truck
is a cha ssis frame of laminated wood,
which absorbs instead of transmitting
vibrations.

NOVEL SCHEME OF
THOMAS OWNER
Issues Booklet Describing His
Experiences in Trip Across
the Continent
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

Many interesting trips are taken in
the motor car of the present day, but
as a rule they live only in the minds
in them. A novel scheme to recount
and perpetuate trip across the conti-
nent in his Thomas car has just been
followed by Hugo Taussig, who with a
party of friends experienced the joys
and hardships, if there were any, of
such tour. In book form. under the
title of .'ketracing the Pioneers" in
graphic phraseology, with touches of
humor and splendid description, Taus-
sig tells what it means from every
point of view to cross the continent
from San Francisco to New York.
The trip was not made direct from
San Francisco, but was made by way
of Los Angeles, and from there across
the sands of the desert into Nevada,
thence on through sagebrush and sand
on the plateau into Utah, across the
sleeps of the Rockies and down the
other side into Nebraska.
Sands whose shifting caused an ever
moving roadbed' retarded speedy travel

places that the way almost had to be
hewed out, and what proved TO be most
interesting" was the forcing of the
big Thomas through the swamps and
soft ground which was encountered.
Taussig's book is replete with stir
ring episodes and conditions, told with
truth and sagacity that is unques-
tionable, and a most noticeable fact,
which speaks volumes for the Thomas,
is that there is a total absence of COM
plaint of trouble caused by the car.
