This was unfair to the town and the business interests, and he believed that If the board was bent on allowing the city of Oakland to annex the land It should exempt from this process a strip of about three-quarters of a mile in front of Em-eryvllle which would give that municipality control over that much deep-water frontage. He said that the people of Emeryville were opposed to being compelled to come to Oakland for franchises or other privileges that would let them extend their business operations to the waterfront. They wanted municipal control over such an area of land for themselves. Mayor Mott Speaks Mayor Mott discussed several important phases of the question with Mr. Olds, after which Supervisor Mulllns introduced the resolution which authorizes the City of Oakland to proceed with the annexation.

The supervisor supported his resolution with a few remarks about the purposes of the annexation. Acting Chairman Kelley put the question, after it had been duly seconded by Foss, and it carried unanimously.
