Five stations, to be constructed by BART but which initially will serve only the San Francisco Municipal Railway, will be called: West Portal, Castro Street, Church Street, Van Ness and Embarcadero. the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART). Falk, recovering "very nicely" at home from a major operation last month, is a charter member of the BART board of Army Base to reconsider its plans to fill approximately 110 acres south of the Oakland approach to the Bay Bridge and, as a first step, "to suspend all filling operations immediately." Ask the Port of Oakland to review its Seventh Street Terminal proposal "in the name of the entire Bay Area population, both present and future, whose welfare may be affected by the that the commission lacks "outright authority" to approve or disapprove the fill for the Oakland Army Base or the Port of Oakland project. A clause in the McAteer-Petris Act exempting from commission control any project where an Army Corps of Engineers permit has been granted allowing diking or filling, and where such work was in effect before the commission was created, pre directors having served since the district was created by the leg filling." OBJECTIONS Commission objections to both The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission has granted a Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) request to dredge a train tube trench in the bay. It also approved BART's use of some 2 million cubic yards of sand dredged elsewhere from the Bay as backfill on top of the tube.

These are the only two BART requests which came under the jurisdiction of the new Bay-protection commission yesterday. But the commission used the occasion to attack BART's plans to use mud from the tube excavation to further fill the Bay by expanding the Oakland Army Base and the Port of Oakland's Seventh Street Terminal. In taking these actions yesterday, the commission voted to approve "in principle" recommendations by chairman Mel-vin B. Lane to: Formally ask the Oakland projects are based on fears that further reduction of the distance between San Francisco and Oak Tor the Better Things in Life, You can afford the land land areas would (1) inhibit the flow of fresh water into the South Bay with the effect EST 1811151! of aggravating stagnation linn nnmniin in mm i tyi and pollution problems and (2) increase the amount of siltation in the channel leading to the Naval Supply Depot. Lane told commission members staff investigations indicate STORES you want WHITE FRONT I BART Employes Get Pay Increase Girls Most employes of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) will receive salary in creases next year of either 2Mt or 5 per cent.

BART directors yesterday ap HAND ilT Ml BID vents authority to halt work on the Oakland Army Base project. In the case of the Port of Oakland an independent arm of city government under the terms of the Oakland City Charter it can make its own determinations without commission approval. BULKHEAD LINES On Sept. 1, the secretary of the Army signed an order changing the bulkhead lines at the foot of Seventh Street in response to a Port of Oakland request. This had the effect of placing the entire site behind bulkhead lines and thus exempt from any further approval from the Corps of Engineers.

The application granted BART yesterday approved only the dredging of the trench, the use of sand for backfill, and the construction of temporary survey towers. Lane recommended the commission "should make perfectly clear that we do not condone the filling of critical areas of the Bay with dredged material from the rapid transit project." The California State Department of Fish and Game said yesterday it "opposed the proposed filling at the Oakland Army Base because it is a resting and feeding spot for birds." ENTIRE BAY Lane said that although the Port of Oakland and the Oakland Army Base may have legal right to fill in the bay rights that place them beyond the commission's legal control they "nevertheless have to assume some of the responsibilities" for the entire Bay. A staff report indicated the cornrnission must resolve the legal question whether a state agency (BCDC) has jurisdiction over a federal agency (Oakland Army Base) should it be found that work on the Oakland Army Base, begun in 1950 and continued only sporadically ever since, constitutes a project that was under way as of Sept. 17. The report said the best answer to this question "appears to be that only a court test would determine this." The report added "even a proved the pay raises which will add $38,904 a year to the district's present annual payroll struction of a subway from Fallon St.

to Seventh Ave. in Oakland. The joint-venture firm from San Mateo was the lowest of eight bidders. It will be the first subway work to be started on BART's 75-mile system. The bid was slightly below BART's estimate of $4.7 million.

The board approved plans for a station site between Happy Valley Road and Oak Hill Road near Lafayette. It is located in the median of State Route 24, and includes a parking of $1,459,344. Of the district's 153 employes, 81 will receive Vh. per cent SWEATERS area on the north side of the highway. The board approved the engi neers' recommendation that on raises, and 47 will get 5 per cent increases.

Director Felix Chialvo, chairman of the personnel and compensation committee, said the increases will keep the salaries "at a level generally slightly above the median paid in the Bay Area by public and private employers." EXPLAINS POLICY Chialvo said BART has adopted thia policy in order to successfully compete for employes.

BUDGETS OK'D Also approved were the m- WM Alltel Vrk I 00 budgets for the first six months of 1966 for engineering and management, utility relocation, and insurance administration. The first sets aside $13,085,000 for payment to BART's joint venture engineers Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Tudor, Bechtel for engineering and management work. Stokes said all filled by the district is $387 to $472 a month for administrative clerks. The highest is the range for B. R.

Stokes, general manager, which starts at $2,864 a month and reaches $3,481 in five steps. The average between the two ends of the salary spectrum will be $816 a month starting 'January 1. Gordon E. Olsen, BART's personnel manager, said this apparently high paying situation is due to the fact the court victory might he hollow, if the Army is free as a federal agency to proceed regardless of state action and were to do so." The Oakland Army Base spoil area is located immediately south of the Oakland approach to the Bay Bridge. The westernmost boundary of this area is somewhat west of the westernmost boundary of the already-filled land that constitutes the bridge approach.

contingency figures have been eliminated and 10 per cent of the total will be paid out only as the need can be shown. The relocation budget will be $9,973,000 added to a previously approved $18,051,000 and the two sums are expected to be enough to reimburse all public utilities for the cost of moving their lines out of BART's way. The board set aside $150,000 for insurance administration BART office is a management-construction organization with a large proportion of skilled engineers and other professional workers.
