Our program of etreet velopment has also emphasized another very serious condition faclit; our city. As the city litis ff own-so have its needs increased, and we are today faced with the need of additional police and tire pi-yec-tion, street improvement, etreSit lighis.

BOOM IX EAST. The territory east of Lake Mer-ritt is developing more rapidly than any other portion of Oakland. Sixty-five per cent of the present population of our city resides east of Lake" Merritt.

For years they have voted for improvements in other, parts of Oakland and have received no recognition themselves. Twenty organizations representing East Oakland people have: requested that th -'purchase of this iiperty be placed upon'the. btillot, and the time has come when this portion of our city must be considered. I believe absoluttty inthe purchase and development of this property and will not be swerved f. ally and industrially, together win the present roadway and park are along Lake Merrltt between Harrison and Oak streets the value of the land alone would have amounted to over This Information was given to me by perrons familiar with property values in this location.

rnoc.REss. That portion of the city's property lying between Seventh and Eighth streets, Fallon street and the Fstuary. has been, completely filled and leveled and assigned to the recreation department for the equipment as a centrally located downtown recreation ground. The" recreation department is -now installing facilities there for ajiase ball field, football field and a running track. Bleachers are also being erected and it is our hope that the school children of our city can hold their city-wide lnter-school track and field meets on this new playground in the coming spring.

This track joins the Auditorium on the municipal co-operation in development, are emphasised by Fiftieth avenue, anothar near Seventy-third avenue. These lire houses should be completed and in service early this year.
