Modernization and rebuilding of downtown Oakland will be continued until the area more than meets the requirements of retail business and compares favorably with the business sections of the most modern city, it was said.

These were carefully surveyed by the association's architect end his assistants. Various design studies were prepared and, after extended consideration, the design which best met all the requirements was selected. Signed bids were obtained from reputable contractors, as well as samples 61 the facing materials to be used in the modernization work. These were presented to the building owner for his study and approval. FOUR ARE COMPLETED Of the original seven buildings Chosen for modernization on Washington Street, four are now completed.

Ths.se are the Blake, the Masonic, the Abrahamson and the Porter. The remaining buildings occupied by the Emporium, the National Dollar and the Owl Drug, are in various stages of preliminary development and will be started as toon as circumstances permit. During the period the Washington Street modernization was in progress, Broadway and the principal connecting streets have received attention, according to the association's records. Three buildings on Broadway have been studied and one of these has been completed. Records of the association indicate that the modernization work has proved immensely valuable in more ways than one.

Property owners and merchants have joined hands, learning that their interests are mutual; confi- dence in the future of the district i has been maintained; work has been provided for men at a time when most needed. OLD LEASES RENEWED The association declared that old leases have been renewed at a salis- 4 factory figure and that new tenants have filled buildings when completed. The general appearance of program in general, an association statement said: "Every city has its older buildings. In Europe, buildings are practically all old. Built to last, they have accomplished this purpose and stand today, monuments to the inconvenience, inefficiency aryi inelastic requirements oftfTSfluring strength.

"In the United States, convenience and efficiency have led the way to everything. The old of yesterday is scrapped to make way for the new of today. Old buildings are junked to make way for modern structures central business districts are moved completely when building owners fail to meet the demand for modern structures. NOT EASILY MOVED "When the business district is so situated as to be the meeting point or the hub of the various means of transportation, it is not easily moved, because the travel habits and the travel convenience of a people are not easily changed. "The downtown business district of Oakland is so situated.

It is the meeting place or the turning point of the main arteries of travel. It therefore has the largest concentration of potential buyers with the attendant business opportunity for a retail merchant. The local problem was to hold and increase this business. "The building owners' part in this problem reduced finally to providing attractive modern structures in which to house the business organizations. "Fortunately, the modernization program as finally adopted is comparatively simple.

This is due in large part to the fact that most of the older buildings were strongly built, with Mod basements, deep foundations four excellent brick walls and a strong roof structure. This constitutes the essential start for a modern building. "The procedure, for an exterior modernization job, consists in stripping the street frontage to the original brick walls and rebuilding the exposed fronts with modern materials, according to an approved type of modern design."

"Three in recent months," she said, "I have been called to Washington to confer with President Roosevelt on the subject of a national theater. "And why not? We subsidize the opera and the symphony.

The theater is as important a cultural force in our national life as either." Miss Le Gallienne's own repertory theater in New York is subsidized, she pointed out. "That's the only way the mass of the people can see the best at the prices they can pay," she said.
