The by-product is shoveled into the fire boxes in its wet condition. Thus vast clouds of steam arise from the stacks, carrying a heavy volume of solid, soot-like, unburned waste. The smoke issuing from the stacks is light in color, due to the whitness of the condensing steam-but when the steam precipitates from the main cloud the resultant smoke is dark. Its bluish haze can be seen nearly every day lying over the business sec- tion of the city, and over the residential sections in all parts. The hills are covered with it, for the smoke misses nothing in the East Bay metropolitan district and carries with it the offensive odor, the health-menacing gases and the befouling lampblack itself, all of which fall upon this city and our citizens and their homes and office buildings. In the past year the City of Oakland has had to spend $3000 to cleanse the City Hall itself of this oily soot deposit, while many big business institutions, hotels, and others in the downtown district likewise must often wash their buildings and their room curtains because of it.

Previous to the emanation of this smoke nuisance I was accustomed to show Oakland visitors the wonderful view of our city and of our bay from the Skyline Boulevard-but this excellent advertising ride 1 have had to discontinue as there is neither beauty, nor commercial attractiveness, to a city or a harbor hidden by a pall of smoke.

During the last year my office has sought and obtained the Smoke Abating Ordinances of twenty-five of the large American cities. Using these and deductions from his own in- vestigation, City Engineer George N. Randle has been co-operating with me and has drawn up a new ordinance. This I have submitted to the City Attorney for the purpose of adding the necessary "teeth" and to ascertain its complete efficacy and legality. I hope soon to place it before you for your affirmative action.

Central Fire and Police Stations

For long it has been my belief that the Central Fire and Police Station now on the ground floor of the City Hall should be removed to a location less congested by traffic. Under present conditions at every alarm, police or fire, the warning sirens on the streets in the heart of our downtown district practically stop business-10,000 persons halt in their tracks to watch the approaching fire engines or police patrols; traffic is held up,

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

and great hazard to pedestrians and automobiles created. I most strongly advocate re- moving both Police and Fire Departments from the City Hall and the conversion of the main floor into offices for the conduct of municipal business.

Legal Counsel for All Boards

Another innovation I advocate would be a deputy city attorney designated to attend all board meetings. Legal advice would thus be immediately available for such depart- ments as Park, Playground, Library, Civil Service, City Planning, and others. Our ap- pointed boards are high charactered, but with the presence of a City Attorney to advise them in contractual matters the efficiency of their activities would be greatly increased and would militate against board legal difficulties.

Lake Merritt Embankment

I would also recommend that the Lake Merritt rock embankment along Harrison Boulevard be continued down Lakeside Drive at least to Oak Street. This I believe the Park Department is already working on, but I would advocate its early construction.

State Building for Oakland

I strongly advocate the construction of a California State Building in Oakland. This, to be built and maintained from State funds, would cost the taxpayers of Oakland noth- ing yet grant them an immediate service long needed and long this city's due. Such a structure would house such services as the local State Motor Vehicle Department, the local officials of the State Labor Compensation Board, allow space for a State Exhibit Room, and have rooms in which could be held meetings of the State Railroad Commis- sion, Board of Equalization, and other State Commissions or Officials whose duties re- quire local meetings and discussion forums. Oakland affords splendid sites for such a building, and present State business in this community fully warrants the expenditure it would necessitate. I strongly advocate that this Council make a direct request to State authorities for an appropriation for such a construction in the near future.

Resume of Recommendations:

In my brief recommendations for the new year would include:

1. Construction of first unit of Museum.

2. Extension of comprehensive lighting system for downtown area.

3. The lighting and boulevarding of West Fourteenth Street to the auto ferries.

4. The development of a high pressure salt water system for fire protec- tion in the business and industrial section of Oakland and for the cleansing of Lake Merritt and the latter's development for swimming. 5. Construction of down town comfort stations.

6. Relocation of Corporation Yard.

7. Purchase of Durant Park.

8. Paving all new streets with plain concrete, eliminating all black tops and patent movement.

9. Acquisition of another Municipal Recreation Camp for all year service and located more closely to the city.

10. Acquisition of the remaining land of Bay Farm Island, for additional harbor and industrial purposes.

11. Municipal recommendations for private development of permanent automobile storage buildings in the downtown area.

12. Speedy adoption of a Major Highway and Traffic Plan.

13. Construction from public funds of a Union Passenger Terminal.

14. Charter amendments to include Park Budget; Revocation by Mayor of appointments made by Mayor; One Council Meeting per week; Budget Control Officer; enlargement of Mayor's Urgent Necessity Fund.

15. 16. Removable opera chairs for new floor of Municipal Auditorium arena. Adoption of the "City and County" plan of government.

17.

State Building for Oakland.

18. Deputy City Attorney, part time, for State legislative work.

19. Remove car tracks from Twelfth Street Dam.

20. Limitation to 150 feet in heights of buildings.

21. Passage of bonds for comprehensive drainage and sewer system, arterial openings of immediate vital need, and for major capital outlay on parks, buildings, recreation centers, police and fire stations, etc.

Bond Issues

It is my fundamental belief that all public improvements should be paid for as they are used-and in this use future generations of taxpayers will participate. It is only just, therefore, that these future generations pay their share in original costs. I there- fore recommend that in the near future a bond issue be brought before the public for the purpose of constructing all vitally needed improvements. One is mandatory at all events for completion of a comprehensive drainage and sewer system to replace the one now in use and which, being originally constructed for a city of only 50,000 population, is totally inadequate for the Half Million that soon will be Oakland's. Opening of arterial highways under the broad plans developed by the City Planning Commission should also be paid out of bond money, and the entire program of necessary improve- ments can be met by the one issne.

Here, to safeguard the people's money, I emphatically urge that in snch bond issue all monies be appropriated to a definite and pre-determined use, and that no money from such bond issue be put to any other use than that for which the taxpayers specifically voted it. Too often in the past have the people voted sums that they were told were to be used for a definite purpose only to see those same sums later deflected to another and often unanticipated channel. The wording of any bond issue ordinance should be such that the public clearly understand what the money is to be used for, and such also as will make it mandatory upon the expending powers to use such money only and specifically for such purpose.

OAKLAND'S FUTURE BRILLIANT

Oakland today faces clearly and confidently a future bright with promise. Our city is growing as never before, a statement in which Federal authoritles concur in their declaration that we have the fastest growing city in the country. Our healthful climate, our unexcelled transportation and dockage facilities, our low death rate, our rich and productive background, our most meritorious schools and recreational facilities, all combine to invite and encourage the coming here of home seekers, persons looking for business opportunity, and industries seeking manufacturing sites, With the development of our harbor, our schools, our transportation systems, our

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

public places of recreation and amusement, our airport; with the extension and widening of our boulevards; with architectural supervision of our bildings and more compre- hensive control of new subdivisions; with proper efficiency and beauty-making zoning laws. Oakland's progress is assured.

Finally, with a tax rate cut in half by adoption of the "City and County" plan of local government, our city will be supreme. The biggest natural advantages combined with the smallest tax rate-these will make the name of Oakland ring with invitation through- out America, and our destiny will be assured.

Very truly yours,

Jim Davis Mayor of the City of Oakland.
