Run Operation of dlesel powered boats to replace the steam driven vessels on the Richmond-San Francisco automobile ferry la announced by Glen Collins, of the Southern Pacific, through P.

M- Banford, president of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. "The dlesel boats are. If anything, superior to the old ones in service and comfort to passengers," safd Collins. "They have nice a good restaurant, a well furnished lounge for women and a comfortable smoking cabin for men. They will make tho same time as the former boats and will maintain the same schedules." The new boats are the Golden, Age and the Golden West, replacing the steam ferries called the mmmimimmBmmmmimm I osemlte and the Shasta, which have been serving Richmond.

The dlesel vessels are ished in green and ivory and are equipped with jgenuine frigidalres and Hot Point electric ranges.

Apartmentri are available both furnished' and unfurnished." Retail Trade Here Is Excellent The condition of Oakland's re-tall trade has been so excellent during the past two months that the numerous reports of this phase of Oakland's business Ufa are fully Justified. Final reports for July sale this year show that the value of merchandise sold In Oakland was 11.9 per cent greater than the value for July of last year. The only city to approach Oakland's record was Los Angeles where a gain of 9 per cent was recorded.

However, Is nly one-half as much as Oakland's gain. Portland was next with an Increase of 7.4 per cent. San Francisco made a good showing with an Increase of 1.8 per cent. A year ago Seattle and Salt Lake City were among the leaders on the Pacific coast. However, the July record shows Seattle with 4.1 per cent gain and Salt Lake City with a loss of 6.1 per cent, Seven western states had' an average gain of 6.

per cent. When Oakland's increase of 17.9 per cent Is compared with this average gain one finds that the local record Is almost three times greater than the average. Tha stock turnover of merchandise during July was .27 times In Oakland, and this record is only exceeded by Seattle where the took turnover was .29 times. The average for the western atates was .11 times. Last year, the Oakland figure was .19, and "this wss exceeded not only by the average of the western states, but by Salt Lake I i It T.J?.

The fact tVat Oakland Is a logical fruit packing center and shipping point la again substantiated by the erection of a vast dried fruit plant by Libby McNeil and Libby. This eteel and concrete building, now under construction at the foot of Fourteenth street, covers five and a half acres of ground and will have loading platforms and trackage on three aides. The structural steel for this building was. fabricated and erected by the Pacific Coast Engineering company of Oakland. The plant, it Is stated, will be equipped with modern box making machinery and with the latest types of graders and processors, with a capacity of handling 200 tons of dried fruit a day.

The major portion of fruits to be handled will be prunes peaches and apricots, which will be drawn from the north coast counties and from the San Joaduin and Sacramento valleys. Between 600 and 600 persons will be employed during the packing seasons. Canned fruits will be shipped from this plant, as a portion of it will be used for warehousing these goods, especially pineapple, which la packed in the Hawaiian Islands. The Libby, McNeil and Libby company entered the dried fruit business In 1926. Electrical Installation for the Belleview Apts.
