Cole, In which It is stated that articles published in the local press recently based on information given out by County Survey "Havi-land'a ofnee on the subject of proposed bascule bridge between Oak--land. and Alameda, were evidently based upon misinformation.

After stating that the subject had not been revived, and that he did not think that either the company, or the county could afford to ahead with the project at this time. President Sproule'-aitid in his letter: cots of construction at thi time are prohibitory and the plain fact is that for alj business purpose the present bridges fulfill their functions in the public service, except for ornamental purposes, and for orna-. mental purposes this is not the tirnn to be spending money. -If the bridge were built it would probably cost 14.000.000. The benefit the people would get from the investment either in transportation or in' highway service Is prublemat leal and they certainly would not gei their money's worth.

"With a ereat Dart of the civiuze'i world in a condition of warfare ami with our own foreign affairs unse.i-tled It seems a strange time to de lude ourselves Into the wta may money can be spent on things that are not essential. To get money buy even cars and engines io rno tho business of the public make necessary for ud to pay. close to per cent for the money, it can br had on no better terpis, which perhaps suflicil to answer the tlon that millions can oe uau i build bridge in these times."

experiment of the first aerial mail carriers to reach Oakland from me Atlantic coast today is attracting the attention of the officials of the postal department and of the commercial world. The two all-metal planes, carrying nine passengers and pilots, besides the sacks of Uncle Ham'sv mail, swooped down from the great heights which they were forced by strong winds, and made their lands at Purant field at 3:25 o'clock yesterday afternoon before the thousands persons who hud gathered to see them land and to welcome the fliers. They were first sighted at 3 o'clock, but p.s they circled around the bay and San Francisco for a brief time before they landed, it was neur the half hour before they came to earth. The large and heavily laden aircraft landed as lightly as might any one-man' carfier and taxied to the far corner of field. It was then that the crowds turned loone an enthusiasm held long in check, broke through the lines held by the police, and surged to he side of those who had made the first aerial.

As pilots and passengers clambered out of rhe upholstered and panelled "ships" a number of Oakland girls showered them with blosaoms, and Mayor Davie greeted them on behalf of the city of Oakland.
