them as low as s25 and $50 a foot. and
nave arranged to sell them for 5000 or
$500 down and $15 or $40 a month. We
also agree to erect homes for our Pied

We can erect a fine house and furnish
splendid lot for as little as 81 400

that the purchaser chooses his own
plans, has everything built to suit him

THEFT and PERJURY
CHARGED TO YOUTH
Oakland Prisoner Accused OF
discriminating Innocent Pair
to Hide Crimes

OAKLAND. July 15.-That he ac-
family of robbery and was willing to
swear to warrants against them in
order to save himself from conviction
of crime is the charge that Sheriff
Barnet makes against Albert Saranson,
who is in the county jail on charge
of burglary.
Saranson is accused of robbing the
house of Frank Winton. wealthy Hay
ward rancher, and of embezzling $40
that belonged to j. Crist, another Hay
ward rancher. 1t was to hide the la t.
ter crime that he concocted a story of
robbery in which he was the victim
according to Barnet. He identified pos
itively two youths as those who robbed
him.
Saranson was picked up on the streets
of Oakland in a drunken condition sew
eral months ago and taken to the
Peniel mission. His charitable friends
found him work at the Winton ranch.
He stayed there only a short time and
left. The same night the house was
robbed, purse and clothing being
taken. Saranson then went to work
for Crist. After he had been there a
few days the family went away and
left Saranson in charge. He was in
trusted with eggs to sell, which he did,
getting $40. He spent the money, and
to conceal his act planned a burglary
of the Crist house.
He said that two masked men came
into his room. last Monday night, took
the $40 and ran away when he awoke
and got up with his pistol. He said
that they had fired two shots at him.
His story was not believed by Con-
stable w. j. Ramage, who started an
investigation. He found that Saranson
had in his possession articles that came
from the Winton home and discovered
other incriminating evidence. The two
young men whom Saranson accused
proved good alibis and Saranson was
arrested.

TEVIS READY TO
PROLONG OPTION
Water Magnate Will Give Ala
media Five Years to Buy
Distributing Plant

ALAMEDA, July 15.-William S.
Tevis, president of the Bay Cities water
company, has written to Mayor w. III.
Noy relative to the request made by
representatives of the city recently
that the company extend the two year
option that the company mana gers say
they are willing to give the city TO
purchase a local distributing plant,
which, Tevis says, his company intends
to install here.
In the communication the head of the
Bay Cities company says that the eX-
ecutive committee of the corporation,
while not in favor of extending the life
of the option, will make it five years II
the city council insists. In his letter
Tevis says in part:
The two year term fixed after careful
consideration by the executive committee OF
of the 29th ultmo l. have again called the
point to the attention of the executive com
mittee and have to advise that they tnlnk
any, change in this respect inadvsable Ihe

option would be of possible advantage, anu
certainly not detrimental TO the pest lnteressS S
of your city. Briefly stated. the prlnciRai
reasons advanced by members OF the COM
mittee follows:
Amy change IN conditions Would 1nVolfe
a withdrawal and substitution of statements
have made to our bankers; might prove
very detrimental to pending financial nego-
tiations. and seriously interfere with ? our
ability to carry out our pledges as 10 tne
time of completing the work.
2-The long term option would IN erect
make the securities TO be issued payable at
time on or before 10 years. This, our
bankers say would be likely to affect both
the market value. and the marketapllity 9I
the securities under negotiation Hence, 1t
would tend to increase the cost OF the IN
Stallation.
3-It is confidently believed that after two
years of experience the citizens of Alameda
will be fully equipped TO decide as to the
ship. whereas If long period is accorded
they quite certain to give other municlpaI
improvements the right of way, postponlng
consideration Of the waters problem until IL
must be given attention. This course would
leave the water company in long continued
state of uncertainty, interfering with admin
istration, extensions. etc. which Is not re-
garded as quite fair either TO the people Oh
{ Alameda the company.
4--If the city fails TO act under the Two
years option. IL still has its sovereign righI
of condemnation; hence will not fail TO ac-
Quire the property when wanted at 1alr
valuation as determined by a judicial triD-
unal Aside from this there is little chance
of fair offer being rejected whenever nade-
Notwithstanding the Judgment OF the COM
mittee, as indicated. and to my mlnd, very
sound reasons against extension OF the
purchase option period. l am assured that II
you and your associates in the city govern
ment feel that you must insist upon the
point. the period will be extended TO cover
i've years from the date at which the dis
tributing system is completed and placed IN
commission.
