Easter Bunny, You Lose SAN JOSE (AP) The Easter bunny lost a sex discrimination dispute after a state commissioner concluded Santa Claus is entitled to 90 cents more per hour because he works harder. In San Jose last Easter, Cheryl Struthers, 23, and six other female department store bunnies left the job, alleging sex discrimination. The women complained that the predominantly male Santas get $3 an hour while the predominantly female bunnies get $2.10 an hour. The complaint was dismissed Tuesday after a two-hour hearing in which commissioner Andrew Evans of the state's Division of Labor Standards and Enforcement found that women suited as Santa earn the same wage as the male Santas, and men dressed as bunnies earn the same as their female counterparts. "There's some basic difference i in the job," Evans concluded.

Rilea Reservoir Work Begins The East Bay Municipal Utility District has begun construction of a 4.5 million gallon steel reservoir in the East Oakland hills which will be. named in honor of former Oakland Vice-Mayor Howard E.

Rilea. The reservoir will be built within the controversial proposed Mountain Village project area, but officials said it is designed to serve existing homes and businesses served by the Oak Knoll Pressure Zone where the ratio of storage to maximum daily demand has dropped to very low levels. A site excavation contract Gallagher Burk, Inc. for $55,600. Of the nine bids on the project the highest was $247,800, and was well below the engineers estimate of $300,000.

A separate contract. will be issued in June for the reservoir itself. Mr. Rilea was a member of the Oakland city council from the West Oakland ward from 1951 to 1967 and served as vice-mayor from 1959 to 1961. He was a Southern Pacific locomotive engineer who got into politics because of his opposition to public housing.

He was instrumental in construction of the city's railroad park at 7th and Harrison was awarded yesterday to Streets. Of all filter kings: Nobody's lower than Carlton.
