FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The first attempt to establish a Fire Department in the City of Oak- land was made in the early part of 1853, which resulted in the organiza- tion of two engine companies-the Empire and Washington -- and the Oak- land Hook and Ladder Company, and the election of John Scott as Chief Engineer. Three large cisterns, which still remain in use, were soon after constructed on Broadway, between First and Fourth streets, to supply the engines with water, and the necessary apparatus was obtained to give efficiency to the operations of the Department. The apparatus then used by the Empire Company, a small New York side-stroke engine, purchased originally at a cost of $2,000, is now in the Santa Clara Fire Department, in good condition. This organization had but a short-lived existence. It was within a year disbanded, the property delivered over to the Council, and up to 1869 Oakland had little or no means of resist- ing the fiery element.
The Department was re-organized March 13, 1869, under the provisions of an ordinance approved February 4, 1869, by the election of John C. Halley as Chief Engineer, and Thomas McGuire, and George Taylor, assistants, who succeeded John Scott, Chief, and John C. Halley and W. W. Moore, assistants, acting under authority of a previous organiza- tion. The apparatus of the Department comprised a third-class Amos- keag fire engine, purchased by the city, and a hose carriage procured by funds temporarily advanced by Col. John Scott. The succeeding officers elected in 1870, were: Miles Doody, Chief Engineer; George Taylor and G. W. Scribner, assistants ; who continued in office until January 16, 1872, when George Taylor was elected Chief Engineer, and R. E. Har- mon and George Farwell, assistants, who in turn were succeeded by the following officers :
Officers .- Fire Commissioners, Q. A. Chase, President; Walter Smith, G. S. Brown, John Gieschen, Hiram Thorne, George Chase, W. K. Rowell, and C. W. Freeman; Secretary, Abraham Heyman, Chief Engineer, J. F. Steen ; Assistant Engineers, R. E. Harmon and William Myles ; Fire Wardens, J. F. Steen, R. E. Harmon, William Myles, and Perry Johnson.
The Department was again re-organized December, 1874, and made a paid institution (except Brooklyn Engine No. 3, which own their apparatus and engine house, and still remain a volunteer organization, doing duty only in East Oakland), it is at present composed of a Chief Engineer and two assistants. The apparatus consists of two steam engines, one hand engine, and one hook and ladder truck; each engine has a hose carrriage, and there is one extra hose carriage kept in case of necessity. The steam- ers and two of the hose carriages and hook and ladder truck are drawn by horses.
Water for the use of the Department is obtained from seventy-three hydrants, supplied by the works of the Contra Costa Water Company, and five cisterns.
Under the new organization the following are the officers: Chief En- gineer, Matthew De La Montanya, salary, $900 per annum; assistant engineers, Alfred S. Baker, salary, $240 per annum, and John Dolan, $144 per annum.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS AND SEWERAGE.
In April, 1869, the City Council appointed a Board of Engineers to devise and report a system of street lines and grades, and sewerage, for the whole city. Previous to that time there had been but little street work, but enough to demonstrate the necessity for a thorough and com- prehensive plan, by which future improvements should be made. The members of this Board were George F. Allardt, George Davidson, George E. Gray, Milo Hoadley, and W. F. Boardman, the then City Engineer. In December, 1869, the Board submitted its report to the City Council. The lines and grades then recommended, and a system of sewerage, were immediately thereafter adopted, and have ever since been faitlifully adhered to. The immense amount of work done since that time demon- strates the wisdom and foresight of the engineers. Excepting only the marsh lands that are at times submerged by the tide, all the land within the limits of the city can be drained, and in nearly every locality sewers can be laid deep enough to admit the construction of cellars. The con- struction of two main sewers is part of the original design. One of these, designated as the "Creek Sewer," debouches from Lake Merritt near the Twelfth Street Dam, and runs thence along Lake Shore Avenue to East Front Street, thence along East Front Street to South Front Street, thence to Market Street, thence to Hudson Street, and thence to the shore of the Bay, to connect with a tidal canal. Its length will be 3.18 miles.
The second is termed the Lake Sewer. It leaves Lake Merritt at Delger Street, and runs thence to San Pablo Avenue, thence to Twenty- first Street, thence to Market Street, and thence on the line of Twenty- second Street to the Bay of San Francisco. Its length is 1.84 miles.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS. 53
-
During the past year work has been commenced upon this sewer by virtue of an Act of the Legislature of 1873-4. The territory to be drained is to pay for this improvement, and in general terms it may be described as that part of the city south of the Charter Line and north of Fourteenth Street. The issuance of bonds was authorized, the same to be a lien upon the land. For five years after the date of their issuance, the City Assessor is required to assess this property to pay interest on the bonds, and during the second term of five years a sufficient tax is to be levied to redeem one fifth of the total amount of bonds, annually. The tax is to be in accordance with the number of square feet of property affected, not according to its valuation. The area of the territory affected is fifty- two million six hundred and sixty-three thousand two hundred and twenty-eight square feet, or one thousand two hundred and eleven and one half acres. The entire cost of the work is $165,000, and the assess- ments upon ordinary building lots will consequently be so small that they will hardly be felt, while the improvement will be almost invaluable. The specifications for this great work were prepared by T. J. Arnold, City Engineer, and regard was had solely to the permanence and dura- bility of the structure, its cost being a secondary consideration. When the natural foundation is sufficiently solid, the sewer is to be of brick. It will be five feet wide and five and one half feet high, in the clear, the bottom is an inverted arch, of a recline of six and one half feet, the sides are vertical, the top is a semicircular arch. The length of the brick section is five thousand five hundred and eighty-five and one quarter feet. Where the foundation is not of sufficient solidity, the sewer will be of wood, five feet by five and a half feet in size, and these parts are of an aggregate length of four thousand three hundred and thirty-nine feet, making the total length of the sewer nine thousand nine hundred and twenty-four and one quarter feet. The brick section is to cost $126,850, the wood section, $38,150, these being the figures at which the contracts were awarded. There will be used two and one half million bricks and five thousand barrels of cement, and four hundred and ten piles are to be driven. At the date of this compilation, the work is rapidly advancing.

CHURCHES. FIRST BAPTIST.
Location, southeast corner of Fourteenth and Brush streets. Rev. B. S. McLafferty, Pastor; dwl west side Market between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets.
This church was organized in December, 1854, under the labors of Rev. E. J. Willis, missionary.
The first house of worship was dedicated December, 1854, being the second Protestant church edifice erected in Oakland, and was located at the corner of Fifth and Jefferson streets; cost, including lot, about $2,000.
Mr. Willis' pastorate terminated in June, 1856. In May, 1857, Rev. Harvey Gilbert began his ministry with the church, and four months later, was settled as Pastor. He resigned in December, 1858, and was succeeded in the pastorate by Rev. J. B. Saxton.
Rev. John Francis succeeded Mr. Saxton in May, 1863, About this time the house of worship was removed to the corner of Ninth and Clay streets-a more eligible location in view of the rapid growth of the city.
The resignation of Mr. Francis was accepted in July, 1864. In No- vember, of the same year, Rev. A. L. Baker, was chosen to the pastorate, but was compelled to resign within a few months on account of declining health.
In July, 1865, Rev. B. T. Martin was chosen and served as Pastor for nearly six years. It was during the pastorate of Mr. Martin that the present house of worship was built.
From February, 1871, till June, 1873, the church was without a Pastor. At this time Rev. R. F. Parshall was chosen Pastor. His resignation was accepted in October, 1873.
In May, 1874, Rev. B. S. McLafferty, the present incumbent, began his ministry with the church, and in December following accepted its call to the pastorate. It is seldom the fortune of any church to prosper as has the First Baptist Church of Oakland during the last year. Indebt- edness to the amount of nearly $9,000 has been cancelled, congregations have greatly increased, peace and harmony have prevailed, between eighty and ninety persons have been added to the membership, and now this church, occupying at present the most beautiful and costly house of worship (Protestant) in our city. no longer embarrassed by the condition of its finances, has before it a most hopeful future.
The Sunday School of this church was organized in 1854. It is now prosperous under the superintendency of Prof. A. W. Brodt. Time of meeting, half past two o'clock P.M. Chinese class meets at six o'clock P.M.
