Manufactures.
The most important manufacturing industry of Oakland is that of flour. Three mills, with large facilities, run con- stantly, and manufacture, in the aggregate, $1,200,000 in value per annum. From one of these mills extensive ship- ments are made to Asia and the Sandwich Islands.
The amount of beer produced annually by the breweries of Oakland is 600,000 gallons.
Several planing and wood-working mills supply the local demand, besides shipping quantities of dressed material abroad.

The Oakland Bag Manufactory, located on the eastern shore of Lake Merritt, is extensively engaged in making sacks, and employs about 500 Chinamen.
There are also iron and boiler works on a limited scale, and manufactories of cigars, boots and shoes, gloves, dental goods, together with many other minor articles.
A woolen factory with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars has been organized, and its managers contemplate commencing work early the ensuing autumn.
The Public Schools.
The public schools of Oakland are a source of just pride to her citizens, affording as they do educational advantages that are unsurpassed in any city on the continent. To the admirable management of Hon. F. M. Campbell, present State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and under whose fostering care the school system of Oakland was developed and improved, much is due.
During the past year, although no new public school buildings have been erected, some considerable additions have been made to the school accommodations. Four rooms each have been added to the Prescott, Franklin, and Lincoln school buildings, affording seats for 595 pupils.
The school census taken in June, 1879, shows the following result:

Municipal Finances.
The following statement from the books of the City Clerk and Treasurer, Mr. James Dods, will show the receipts and disbursements on municipal account for the year 1879. There is an increase in the receipts over the preceding year of $11,000 ; the aggregate being $458,954 35 against $447,- 967 78 for the year 1878. The expenditures were $285,- 688 26, for all purposes except public schools, the latter costing $174,220 81, bringing the total up to $459,910 07, about $20,000 less than for the year 1878. It is noticeable that the sum of $17,000 was paid for teachers salaries in ex- cess of the sum paid in 1878. General current expenses were about the same. A liberal sum was paid to secure the advantages of the Free Library, namely about $13,000. Judiciously managed this is money well expended.

$53,000, against $45,000 for the preceding year. Even with the prevailing dullness, it seems that a greater number of licenses are taken out than ever before. The increase, how- ever, is unquestionably the result of a more efficient service. Formerly the duties of License Collector were performed in the City Marshal's office, where the great variety of duties required to be performed by an inadequate force necessarily led to the omission of some collections. Under a new ordi- nance the office of License Collector is made a separate one, and on April 1st of the present year Mr. J. A. Booth entered upon its supervision. The first quarter of his administra- tion will end on the 30th of June. For the first quarter of the present year 1,348 licenses were issued; during the second quarter, to the 18th of June, 1,242 had been issued and the sum of $12,086.50 collected, being a very con- siderable increase. During the latter half of 1879, 2,881 licenses were issued. Up to June 15, 1880, and since July 1, 1879, there had gone out of business 66 dealers in general merchandise, 35 dealers in liquors, and 162 produce ped- dlers, a large share of the latter class being Chinese. During the present quarter, and well illustrating the vitality of trade in Oakland, 70 new business places have opened- 31 for general merchandise, 6 bars, and 33 miscellaneous- and 56 places doing business without license have been dis- covered and now conform to the law. This very important branch of the city's revenues is now efficiently managed, and all persons compelled to share equally in maintaining the burdens of the city government.
Street Improvements.
The past year has been one of much activity throughout Oakland in the matter of street work. The city has now a large extent of beautiful streets, forming many fine drives, and attracting the universal admiration of strangers. During the current year, ending April 1, 1880, work was done as follows: Number of linear feet of streets macadamized, 42,643 (something over eight miles); cost of same, $117,- 957.80. Linear feet graded and curbed, 14,855; cost of same, $5,772.30. Feet of sidewalks laid, 2,294; cost, $895.09. Feet of sewers constructed, 17,773; cost, $16,- 857.62. Total cost of improvements on streets for the year, $141,482.81. Under the operation of the new organic law little work is in progress, although there remains a vast amount to be accomplished before the streets of the city can be considered in a finished condition.

Fire Department.
The Fire Department of the city of Oakland comprises four steamers, five two-wheel hose carts with 3,700 feet of hose, two hook and ladder trucks, fifty-eight officers and men, one hundred and sixty hydrants, five cisterns and forty- six fire alarm stations, under the management of Mr. James Hill, Chief of the department. Much efficient service has been performed during the year and the ravages of fire cur- tailed to the most limited proportions.
During the year one new hose company has been organized and supplied with apparatus. It is located on the corner of San Pablo avenue and Market street.
The expenses of the Fire Department of Oakland for the past year have been as follows:

THE HARBOR OF OAKLAND.
29
The Harbor of Oakland.
The harbor facilities of Oakland, with a moderate degree of improvement, might surpass any on the coast if not upon the continent. The fact of deep water on the other side of the Bay determined the location of the commercial metrop- olis. It is safe to say, however, that the expenditure of one-tenth the sum of money used in transforming the site of the great peninsular city into a habitable place, would, had it been used on the main land, have developed far superior facilities to those now enjoyed by our metropolitan neighbor.
An artificial harbor is afforded by the estuary of San An- tonio, which opening into the main bay, opposite the city of San Francisco, extends inland for something over two miles on the southern boundary of Oakland. The improve- ment of this estuary has been the theme of discussion for years, and many plans have been proposed and some partially carried into effect.
In 1860 about $30,000 was expended in dredging the channel across the bar at the mouth of the estuary. In 1868 a further sum of $15,000 was likewise expended. Finally, so evident was the importance of the work, that the national government interested itself in the matter. In 1873 a bill passed Congress, and was approved by the President, appointing a Board of Commissioners to survey the harbor of San Antonio Creek and submit plans for its improvement to an extent that sea-going vessels might enter. The first official report was made in February, 1874, and reports have since been made yearly.
The important matters to consider, were to what the estu- ary could be developed so as to make it a commercial har- bor, the number and character of vessels it could accom- modate if so developed, and the cost of the enterprise. The area of the estuary is about 900 acres, and it is evident to all, that if so improved as to admit vessels of any tonnage, however large, that it would supply ample space for all that would enter the Bay of San Francisco.
It was decided to erect parallel training walls from the mouth of the creek to deep water. The effect of these walls would be to confine the flow of water from the estuary at ebb tide to a narrow space, and thus washing out the sand be- tween them. The cost of this preliminary work was esti- mated at about one-half million of dollars. It was also estimated that nearly one and one-half millions of dollars additional would be necessary to complete the excavation and dredging of the harbor proper.

OAKLAND DIRECTORY.
Congress in 1874 appropriated $100, 000, and a like amount in 1875, to commence active work on this grand scheme of harbor improvement. During 1875 and 1876 parallel lines of wall were constructed, and a large amount of dredging done at the mouth of the harbor. Additional appropriations have from time to time been made, until, including one made by the Congress recently adjourned, the total amounts to $415,000, of which it is claimed that $160,000 is unspent and immediately available.
Interruption to the work occurred in 1878, owing to a claim set up by the Water Front Company to the frontage npon the estuary, while willing to cede to the Government a channel of 400 feet in width, and claiming all outside that channel. The approval of the City Council was asked to this claim and not obtained. The Government, through the advice of its engineers, refused to permit a further cx- penditure of the appropriations made, so long as any ad- verse claim to the waters of the estuary remained unsettled. Hence, this invaluable work has been for a long time sus- pended. The recent action of Congress in making a new appropriation of $60,000 it is believed will be approved by all parties in interest. The conditions are, simply, that the sum so appropriated; and the amount heretofore unexpended, shall not be available until the right of the United States to the bed of the estuary and training walls of this work is se- cured without expense to the Government, in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of War.
The United States Government has always had the right to any portion of the water front necessary for the purposes of commerce. It is hoped and firmly believed by all in- terested in the growth and commercial prosperity of Oak- land that nothing more will be heard of adverse claims, and that work will be vigorously prosecuted upon the improve- ment of the harbor.
Central Pacific Railroad Improvements.
While the water-front controversy has been going on, the Central Pacific Railroad Company has been engaged in im- proving the western water-front. A solid causeway of rock and earth has been constructed out to deep water on the bay. The long wharf, over two miles in extent, will be abandoned, and passengers landed at new ferry slips on terra firma. The length of this causeway is about one mile, and its width from 120 to 300 feet. The freight traffic, including the loading of wheat ships, is to be removed from the end

of the old wharf to new wharves on Oakland Harbor. Capa- cious warehouses for the reception of wheat, wool and other articles intended for export by sea will soon be built, and the trade that so properly belongs on the main land will be done there. It is estimated that the sum to be expended in these gigantic improvements will not be less than five millions of dollars.
South Pacific Coast Railway.
Much opposition was made to the entrance of this line of road into Oakland by the way of Webster street bridge. An ordinance was passed granting the right of way upon Webster street from the southern line of the city to Four- teenth street. An injunction was obtained, but subsequently set aside by the Courts. Work has been commenced on the road, and a portion of the track laid. An iron bridge to cross the estuary at the foot of Webster street has been ordered by the Company, and will shortly be in position. The present terminus of the road will be at Twelfth or Four- teenth street, on Webster. This road now extends south- ward to Santa Cruz, and will be extended northward with various branches. It is expected that this new line will greatly add to the local trade of Oakland, especially from Contra Costa County.
The Tunnel.
Work on this important enterprise is progressing with a good degree of vigor. About one hundred men are em- ployed, and its successful completion is an unquestioned fact. The trade of a rich outlying farming district will be made tributary to Oakland by means of this tunnel through the San Pablo range. It is not improbable that it will be made use of by narrow gauge railway lines as well as vehicles.
