COUNTY AID REQUESTED IN STREET WORK Department Head and City Engineer Make Official Appeal to Board for $263,000 for 8 Projects An official request by the Oakland street department for $263,250 from the county of Alameda, for aid in various major street projects including the Seventh street under pass, was made today by Commissioner Charles I. Anderson and City Engineer Walter N. Frickstad.

City council action was not necessary as the request was a departmental matter. The request was made to the board of supervisors as a whole and a letter of explanation was sent to Chairman William J. Hamilton. Anderson pointed out that the automobiles in the city of Oakland probably will contribute to the county of Alameda about $800,000 in gas tax and license fee money, and argued that some of this money should be used to help the main highways of the city, where this revenue is produced, although It is not mandatory the visors of any county. yupon OITY PROJECTS.

In the requests Anderson to the county Frickstad sue pervisors, and list eight city projects for which county aid is asked. They are: Five street $180,000 Seventh street 51,250 Foothill Boulevard widening 29,000 Fruitvale bridge approach 8,000 Total $263,250 The five general street projects; which are considered, major traffic highways the county should aid the city include the Eighth and East Tenth street wides ening; the Hopkins street opening: Russett and East Tenth street 1m- provement; Harrison street widening from Twentieth street to Grand avenue; and the opening of Twenty-sixth and Bay Place. The total request of the county is $180,000. although the actual expense of these projects is much larger. The $180,000 request, according to Anderson, is based on the belief that the county's revenue from license fees alone will be $800,000, of which the city gets 60 per cent, or $180,000, This $180,000 is taken by the five street projects, leaving the rest of the $263,250 to be dotax revenues.

the, Anderson asks the nated by from its gas county to set up thine $180,000 fund, although some of projects may not be completed during the come ing fiscal year. HALF EXPENSE ASKED. For the Seventh street underpass, county is asked to bear half of the city's burden of $102,500, on the ground that underpass is essential both to the city and county. The railroad commission recently ordered the underpass to be built at a cost of $250,000, the Southern Pacific company to pay half and to make all plans, which must be approved by the city and county. The railroad commission also requested the city to find the remaining half of the cost, even it it had to make a special tax levy.

The city attorney said he Wan considering a legal battle against the decision, on the ground that the railroad commission is exceeding its authority in ordering taxes to be levied by a municipality. Yesterday, however, Frickstad and ant City Attorney C. Stanley Wood agreed to forego a legal battle and to ask county aid in building the underpass, as the city attorney said he might attack the subject in different way, some 75 city attorneys being due to gather in the Oakland city council chambers on Friday, when concerted action of all the' California cities to curb the power and authority of the rail road commission may be started. with the Seventh street underpass case as one of the basic grievances. CITES AUTO INCREASE.

In his letter to Hamilton today; Anderson expressed regret that the Los Angeles right of enjoyment in county gas-tax moneys not universal in all the big cities In California. In part he said: "The enormous increase in automobiles has created intolerable. city traffic conditions. The gasoline tax has solved the financial aspect of highway construction programs 50 far AS state and county roads are concerned. but it has not touched the problems of large cities.

If the Dos Angeles county policy can be adopted in this county, we may be able to meet the situation which otherwise is quite hopeless until we receive a direct appor tionment of funds from the state.
