Property in the vicinity of Broadway upon the cross streets, from Eighth to Tenth, commands $200 to $250 per front foot; as we proceed to the northward prices growing smaller.
Residence property that may be considered in the least eligible, sells at from $75 to $100 per foot for first-class in the most central or the most desirable locations, and from $20 to $75, according to location, in various parts of the city. Low-lying, undesirable lots may, in some instances, be bought at $10 per foot. Among notable sales made recently were the Peralta and Center street lands, lying between the above named streets and Twelfth and Sixteenth

streets, comprising seventy-six lots, every one of which was sold at prices varying from $1,015 to $400, the entire tract bringing $43,045. An offer of $55,000 was refused for a business block bounded by Market, Myrtle, Seventh and Eighth, without improvements. At the sale of the Potter property the sum of $165,375 was realized. Three hundred and ten feet on Telegraph avenue sold at an average of $216 per foot. Lots on the San Pablo frontage brought $175 per foot. The sale was considered one of the most successful which ever took place in Oakland, considering the times.
The Oak Park tract in Alameda, lying between Fassking's Gardens and the Bay, and comprising about twenty blocks, is considered as among the desirable residence property for the more select class. Lots in that tract have sold during the season at prices ranging from $500 to $1,000. This local- ity is rapidly becoming covered with a fine class of residences.
The Watts tract, lying between the Bay and San Pablo avenue in the northerly section of the city, was subdivided and sold during the season. A remarkable growth is evident in that section, which offers the cheapest residence property now available. More than one hundred and thirty houses have been erected on that ground since the sale, and new ones are going up every day.
The Brumagin tract, situated a little northward of Temescal, has lately come into market. This tract is situated on a very desirable elevation above the Bay, some ninety feet-has a splendid drainage, and is altogether a lovely spot upon which to create homes. At the sale fifty lots were sold at prices ranging from $275 to $400.
The Rowland tract, which lies between Telegraph and San Pablo avenues southward of Thirty-fourth street, lies high and affords a good view. Streets have been graded through this land, and lots are for sale, but purchasers must expect to pay high prices there.
The Shell Mound tract, at the head of the creek, has been settled upon to a considerable extent during the season.
Several other tracts of outside lots have been opened for purchase during the year, and are as a consequence being rapidly dotted over with habitations.
Fruit Vale on the eastward, and Piedmont, are suburbs, are noted for their picturesque scenery and healthfulness. Both are improving gradually. The first school building, an elegant one, was built at Piedmont during the summer of 1876. A number of fine residences were built at Fruit Vale. In this section land can yet be purchased by the acre, in tracts to suit.

The general tendency of improvements is to the north- ward. Ere long every acre of land between the Bay and the hills northward to Berkeley will be in the market as city lots, and will be rapidly disposed of to the army of seekers for cheap, healthful and picturesque homes.
Population of the City.
Thirty-five thousand was accepted as a correct estimate of the population of Oakland in June, 1876. The number of children in the city at that time was 8,745, or about twenty- five per cent. of the total population. Thus, in 1870, the School census gave 2,592 children and the Federal census 10.000 inhabitants to the city. The gain in the number of children for the last four years has been twenty per cent. annu- ally; that ratio of gain from June, 1876 to June, 1877, will give a return of 10,497 children, indicating a population of 41, 976. But it is a patent fact, that the enumeration of children, of late years, is often taken in a careless manner, resulting in the omission of a considerable number of names. The population of Oakland is undoubtedly larger than the figures indicated by the School census, for two reasons : First, all the children are not returned; second, there are, at least, fifteen hundred men residing in the city, engaged upon the hundreds of new buildings, who have no familes here, and consequently no children to be returned.
A more reliable basis than the School census, upon which to estimate the population, is the presentvolume. This work being published annually, and containing the names of all adult males and heads of families, affords an excellent means of determining the growth of the city by comparison. The best judges, in fact, authorities almost indisputable, allot a population of three and one-half to each reference in the Directories of Western cities. Upon this basis we estimated the population in June, 1876, at 35,910, there being 10,260 references in the book. This year the references in the book number 13,050, an increase of 2,790. The population is, therefore, 45,675, an increase of 9,765 since June, 1876. Newspapers and pamphlets have been too moderate in esti- mating the number of inhabitants in this bustling, crowded city. This volume shows, beyond a doubt, an increase of fully twenty-five per cent. since the date of our last issue, one year ago; and after a careful and exhaustive comparison of facts, we have no hesitancy in claiming that our figures are conservative and within the bounds of actual fact. An official census would hardly vary them one thousand.

OAKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT.
It is not necessary to follow the history of the Oakland Fire Department from its inception to its regeneration and permanent establishment .- Matthew De La Montanya was appointed chief engineer in 1874, and still occupies the po- sition. The service has been brought to a good state of effi- ciency.
A Fire Alarm Telegraph, with twenty miles of wire, has «been recently constructed, and eleven automatic fire boxes provided, which number will soon be largely increased. A gong of enormous sounding power has also been placed in the engine house of Phoenix No. 1 and of Felton No. 2. George H. Carleton Superintendent of Fire and Police Tel- egraph.
The city is now the owner of four engine houses and four lots, viz: A brick engine house on the north side of Sixth street, between Broadway and Washington, built in 1875, accommodating the Felton and Hook and Ladder com- panies; a house and lot on Fifteenth near Washington, occu- pied by Phoenix Company No. 1; a lot, with house newly completed thereon of brick one story in height, on Eighth street, between Willow and Campbell, West Oakland; a brick house in East Oakland, on East Fourteenth street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues, occupied by Brooklyn Com- pany No. 4.

MUNICIPAL FINANCES.
It is a source of gratification to be able to publish the fact that the financial affairs of the city of Oakland are prudently and honestly managed. The rate of taxation is low, and funds raised by taxes or the sale of bonds are applied strictly to the purposes designed.
