10 aWaubilitrributtt Feb. 5, 1 964 'FISHBOyL' GONE COUNCILMEN OPPOSE MORATORIUM PROPOSAL OKs Fill Aameda Former Police Headquarters Razed Of 25-Acre Parcel would be reluctant to halt all filling in the Bay. He said he favors a study of the matter rather than a moratorium. "However, Mr. Petris is a very intelligent legislator and could persuade me," the governor added.

Councilman Robert V. Mc-Keen, who made the motion, said he doesn't want the city to lose control of its property, par The Oakland City Council is against a proposed moratorium on filling San Franciso- Bay tidelands. And so is Governor Brown. It rejected a suggestion from County Supervisor Emanuel P. Razeto that the moratorium proposal be drastically modified and ordered instead a resolution opposing the ban proposed by Assemblyman Nicholas Petris.

At a press confernce today, Governor Brown said he has not yet. seen the Petris bill, but About the only visual proof remaining that the "Fishbowl" ever existed is its barren steel ribs and a rapidly disappearing pile of rubble. The steel ribs once supported the roof of the Twentieth Century Market back in the days when Charleston stood for more than a town in South Carolina, and the term "Fishbowl" was gleaned from the building's giant display windows. Located at 14th and Jefferson Streets, the old building, built in the late twenties, housed the police, department for eight years before the new Hall of Justice "Thompson said he eventually would like to see the city owned block sold to private enterprise and "put back on the tax rolls." Fire Department facilities in the remaining buildings include the fire chief and marshall's offices, fire prevention bureau, Engine Companies 1, 32 and Trucky Company 1. "But they need a new structure," said Thompson, "and sale of the property to a private party might be one way of Ji-nancing a new building where else." Whatever the outcomeTHef "fishbowl" is no more.

was completed. When the Twentieth Century Market thrived, its big circuslike delivery wagons were gaudy vehicles, but over the years new firms took over the block-square location. I In 1955, according to Edmond O'Flaherty, superintendent of public buildings, Oakland acquired the property with public betterment money from the general fund. Into a portion of it moved all the police department, except for the radio room, jail and rec-ords division. Passersby peering through the great display windows at the workings of the police department soon resulted in the building being dubbed the "fishbowl." Blinds helped to eliminate, the audience, though.

In 1962 the police found themselves in their new home. "Building codes become more restrictive every year," pointed out O'Flaherty. "And the building couldn't compete in the central fire district under the stiff fire codes." "It was falling down," said City Manager Wayne E. Thompson, "and is being demolished under competitive bids." Weller noted that the boundary was tentative and not binding should the city later deter-mine it was not applicable. Vice Mayor William McCall said the line would establish the city's position on Bay filling and "show what the city can live with." Mayor William Godfrey was authorized to present the city's position at tomorrow's meeting of the Association of Bay Area Governments.

DOUBLE AREA The boundary for Bay Farm Island, however, would more than double the land area there if the tidelands were filled to the boundary.

The flood control project is costing taxpayers 25 cents per $100 of assessed valuation this year and is set up at the same rate for the next i4 years. AIR COMPLAINTS Oakland councilmen complained bitterly about this to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, which sets the rate, claiming they didn't intend approval of the. channel clearing and culvert building project should cost so much in such a short period of time. The Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District said a bond issue could cut next year's rate to four cents I'ODESS SANITARY NAPKINS ru saBS Dish fJ ii i mm KENTUCKY I Ul: 1I4UO mmt MOT AT MOAOMAT srou Box of 24 ItpltrerSiper PRIVATE STOCK iff A I RON YUBA RUM BELLEAU BRANDY Ml "T-wVliTaTrTl bloncl with lln iniTSSOi nwllowflavat.90 ai 1 Proof.

MAIN ADVANTAGE The district said the principal advantage of bond financing would be the shortening of the construction period from 15 to 10 years while providing an initial tax rate reduction of 21 cents. The council voted, unanimous endorsement of the bond issue. The earliest election at which it can be submitted to the voters is the June Primary, the district noted.
