PREFA^CE. 


;  In  presentiiior  this,  the  first  edition  of  tlie  Oakland  Directoky, 
to  the  public,  tlie  publisher  would  ask  of  the  people  a  generous 
allowance  for  any  and  all  errors  which  may  have  escaped  his  no- 
tice in  compiling  the  work. 

To  carry  to  a  successful  tennination  a  publication  of  this  kind 
requires  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  work  to  be  performed. 
Although  our  experience  as  an  advertising  agent  and  canvasser 
extends  back  a  number  of  years,  both  in  the  East  as  well  as  on 
this  coast,  which  has  brought  us  continually  in  contact  with  the 
mercantile  and  nianutacturing  community,  yet  it  was  with  a 
degree  of  caution  that  we  began  the  compilation  of  the  present 
work.     In  making  our  canvass,  several  impediments  were  pre- 
sented to  us.     Among  the  most  prominent  was  the  difficulty  we 
experienced  in  getting  competent  men  to  canvass  for  the  names 
^ropcr^  and  the  incorrect  manner  in  which  the  information  was 
given  at  the  dwellings.     This  will,  we  trust,  in  a  manner  explain 
away  this  portion  of  the  errors,  as  the  canvassers  claim  that  the 
names  are  spelled  as  given  to  them.     Another  very  great  embar- 
rassment under  which  we  have  labored  was  the  tardiness  of  our 
patrons  in  furnishing  the  subject  matter  for  their  advertisements. 
This  last  mentioned  circumstance  has  delayed  the  issue  of  the 
work  a  number  of  weeks,  besides  giving  us  much  additional 
trouble  and  expense,  and  although  we  have  done  all  that  perse- 
verance could  accomplish  under  the  circumstances,  yet  there  will 
probably  be  some  who  will  without  rclicction  feel  disposed  to 
find  fault  with  our  apparently  inexcusable  delay,  when  at  the 
same  time  they  may  have  been  themselves  in  part  the  cause  of 
our  hindrance  by  not  furnishing  their  copy  in  time,  and  agreea- 
ble to  their  oft-repeated  promises.     Therefore,  this  explanation 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY 


will  be  our  apology  and  may  serve  to  govern  them  in  the  future. 

Although  in  the  foregoing  we  have  spoken  only  of  matters 
disadvantageous  to  ourselves,  yet  we  claim  that  the  work  pre- 
sented possesses  more  than  ordinary  merit  as  regards  its  syste- 
matic classification  and  arrangement  throughout.  In  this  re- 
spect we  are  willing  to  compare  it  with  any  Directory  of  similar 
size  that  has  ever  made  its  appearance  on  this  coast. 

The  compilation  of  the  statistical  matter  presented  in  this 
volume  has  been  attended  with  more  difficulties  than  might  be 
anticipated.  The  city  ofiicers  are  in  few  or  no  cases  required  to 
present  annual  or  semi-annual  reports  giving  the  details  of  the 
business  of  their  oflices,  and  it  was -necessary  to  examine  a  mass 
of  documents  to  ascertain  but  few  facts.  In  some  cases  there 
has  been  a  neglect  on  the  part  of  persons  connected  with  insti- 
tutions or  business  enterprises  to  furnish  us  information  as  re- 
quested. The  various  matters  treated  of  in  that  portion  of  the 
work  which  precedes  the  tables  of  names,  has  been  under  the 
supervision  of  Mr.  Wm.  D.  Harwood. 

In  conclusion  we  would  tender  our  thanks  to  those  who  have 
kindly  furnished  us  with  statistics  from  our  Institutions  of  Leaim^ 
ing,  the  Churches,  the  Municipal  Ofiicers,  and  all  other  sources 
from  which  we  have  obtained  information,  that  has  assisted  us  in 
compiling  the  work,  and  with  the  knowledge  and  experience  de- 
rived from  our  i^ast  labors  and  with  the  confidence  that  our  ef- 
forts have  not  been  thrown  away,  we  shall  very  soon  commence 
the  compilation  of  the  second  Directory  of  Oakland  for  the 
year  18Y0,  with  such  alterations,  additions  and  improvements  as 
present  themselves.  B.  F,  STILWELL.

The  endowment  of  tlie  University  consists  of  the  following 
property  and  funds : 
The   site   of  one   hundred  and  sixty    acres    of   land, 

valued   at $  80,000 

The  Seminary  and  Public  Building  Funds 100,000 

The  prospective  receipt  from  Tide  Lands 200,000 

Other  property  coming  from  the  College  of  California,.     40,000 


$420,000 
Besides  this,  are  the  150,000  acres  of  Agricultural  College  Lands, 
which  if  speedily  located,  and  held  for  a  few  years,  will,  it  is 
believed,  readily  sell  for  from  five  dollars  to  ten  dollars  per  acre. 
An  appeal  will  be  soon  made  to  the  friends  of  education  and  of 
California  to  contribute  to  the  endowment  of  the  Univei'sity,  so 
that  it  may  be  placed  at  once  on  a  permanent  basis  of  prosperity. 
The  enterprise  is  in  its  infancy  as  yet,  but  the  Eegents  are 
managing  their  trust  in  an  efficient  manner,  and  before  the  end 
of  the  present  year  it  is  expected  that  temporary  arrangements 
will  be  completed  in  Oakland,  and  that  students  will  be  received 
by  the  professors,  who  may  by  that  time  be  appointed. 

*The  term  Honorary  applied  to  these  Regents  indicates  only  the  mode  of  their 
election,  which  is  made  by  the  Ex-Oflicio  and  Appointed  Regents.  Every  Regent, 
however  appointed,  is  a  voting,  legislative,  and  executive  member  of  the  Board.

Sec.  57.  [This  section  was  amended  and  altered  by  "  An 
Act  supplementary  to  and  to  amend  an  Act  entitled  an  Act  to 
incorporate  the  City  of  Oakland,  passed  March  twenty-fifth, 
eighteen  hundred  and  fifty-four,  and  repealing  certain  other 
Acts  in  relation  to  said  city,  approved  April  twenty-fourth, 
eighteen  hundred  and  sixty-two."  The  section  provides  for  the 
adoption  of  a  general  plan  or  system  of  streets,  and  for  the 
opening  of  streets  in  accordance  therewith,  the  principal  sec- 
tion of  which  Act  is  as  follows  : — ] 

The  City  Council  shall,  when  they  may  deem  the  same 
necessary,  establish  by  ordinance  a  general  plan  or  plans  of 
streets,  for  any  and  all  portions  of  the  city  not  laid  out  into 
streets  ;  and  after  such  plan  or  plans  shall  have  been  so  estab- 
lished, any  improvements  which  may  thereafter  be  made,  or 
erected,  or  constructed,  within  the  lines  of  any  street  contem- 
plated by  said  plan  or  plans,  shall  not  be  included  in  any  assess- 
ment of  damages  which  may  be  made  when  the  city  proceeds  to 
open  said  streets.  Applications  for  opening  any  street  or  streets 
embraced  in  any  plan  heretofore  adopted,  or  to  be  hereafter 
adopted,  by  the  City  Council,  shall  be  made  to  the  Council  by 
petition  in  writing,  designating  the  street  or  any  part  thereof 
desired  to  be  opened,  which  said  petition  shall  be  signed  by  the 
applicant  or  applicants,  and  shall  state  their  places  of  residence. 
If  the  City  Council  so  resolve,  it  shall  direct  the  City  Marshal 
to  give  written  notice  to  the  owners  or  the  occupants  of  the  land 
embraced  within  the  lines  of  said  street,  or  owning  or  occupying 
the  lands  abutting  upon  the  same,  which  said  notice  shall  briefly 
state  the   substance   of  said  petition,  and   shall   require    such

be  less  than  twenty  days  from  the  adoption  of  such  resolution, 
and  not  less  than  ten  days  after  the  service  of  said  notice  upon 
said  owners  or  occupants,  then  and  there  to  state  any  objections 
they  may  have  to  the  opening  of  said  street ;  jyrovided^  however, 
that  whenever  the  lands  embraced  within  said  lines  of  said 
streets,  or  abutting  upon  the  same,  are  vacant  or  unoccupied,  or 
the  owners  or  occupants  thereof  cannot  be  found  within  the 
limits  of  said  city  by  said  Marshal,  then,  and  in  that  event,  it 
shall  be  a  sufficient  service  of  said  notice  upon  said  owners  or 
said  occupants  to  post  the  same  in  a  conspicuous  place  upon 
said  vacant  or  unoccupied  lands,  and  also  at  the  office  of  the 
Mayor  of  said  city,  at  least  ten  days  prior  to  the  said  time  lixed 
for  said  appearance. 

At  the  time  appointed  for  said  hearing,  the  parties  notified 
shall  appear  and  briefly  state,  in  writing,  their  objections,  if  any 
they  have,  to  the  opening  of  said  street  or  streets ;  and  if  dam- 
ages are  claimed,  shall  also  therein  state  the  amount  thereof;  if 
damages  are  claimed,  the  Council  shall  designate  a  day  to 
determine  the  same,  which  shall  not  be  less  than  ten  davs  after 
the  time  so  appointed  to  hear  said  parties  as  aforesaid.  TTpon 
such  designated  day,  or  such  other  day  to  which  the  hearing  of 
the  same  shall  l)e  continued,  the  Council  shall  proceed  to  hear 
the  allegations  of  the  parties,  and  such  process  as  may  be  pro- 
duced in  support  of  or  against  the  same,  for  which  jjurpose  the 
presiding  officer  at  such  meeting  of  said  Council  shall  have 
power  to  administer  all  necessary  oaths  or  affirmations,  and  if 
the  party  to  whom  the  same  is  administered  shall  wilfully,  cor- 
ruptly, and  falsely  swear  touching  the  matter  in  issue  before  said 
Council,  he  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  perjury,  and  upon  con- 
viction thereof  shall  be  punished  by  imi)risonnient  in  the  State 
Prison  for  any  term  not  less  than  one  nor  more  than  fourteen 
years.  Thereupon,  said  Council  shall  separately  assess  the 
amount   of   damages  to  each    person   entitled   to   the   same ;

fit the  lands  abutting  upon  or  adjacent  to  the  same,  and  increase 
the  value  thereof,  such  benefit  and  increase  in  value  shall  be  es- 
timated and  deducted  from  the  damages.  If,  however,  after 
being  notified  as  aforesaid,  said  owners  or  occupants  fail  to  ap- 
pear and  claim  damages  as  aforesaid,  the  said  Council  shall  only 
award  them  nominal  damages.

of  Alameda,  where  said  question  of  damages,  and  none  other,

l^ay  the  costs  of  the  appeal ;  but  if  he  or  they  recover  a  sum 
more  than  ten  per  cent,  beyond  the  amount  so  allowed,  he  shall

In  1842,  a  division  jvas 
made   of   tlie   ranclio   of

four   sons    of   Louis  Ma

Yincente  was  given  that

1851   Louis   Ma   Peralta 
executed    an   instrument 
purporting  to  be  a  will, 
'M-liich    ratifies   and   con-

OAKLAND   CITY— PAST  AND  PRESENT. 


On  tlie  foiirtli  day  of  May,  eighteen  hundred  and  lifty-two, 
when  tlie  land  upon  wliich  the  present  City  of  Oakland  is  sit- 
uated was  under  the  jurisdiction  of  Contra  Costa  County,  an 
Act  incorporating  the  Town  of  Oakland  was  approved  by  the 
Governor  of  the  State,  and  on  that  day  commenced  the  corpor- 
ate existence  of  what  the  present  generation  is  likely  to  see 
developed  into  the  most  important  city  bordering  upon  the 
Pacific  Ocean ;  the  western  terminus  of  the  Pacific  Railroad, 
the  greatest  work  of  this  or  any  other  age. 

j  The  Act  incorporating  the  Town  of  Oakland  was  brief,  and 

its  provisions  were  few.     A  Board  of  Trustees,  consisting  of  five 
1    members,  was  created ;   and  in  this  Board  was  vested  power  to 
'.    use  the  property  of  the  town  in  whatever  way  would  best  pro- 
mote its  interests.     The  property  then  at  their  disposal  was  the 
extensive  water  front  surrounding  the  city,  which  was  at  the 
same  time  granted  to  it  by  the  Legislature  and  owned  by  the 
corporation.      The  narrative  of  this   property  from  that  day 
i    until  the  present  time  would  form  one  of  the  most  interesting 
I    chapters  in  the  history  of  California  litigation  that  could  be 
written ;  but  the  restricted  limits  of  a  Directory  forbid  anything 
more  than  a  faint  outline.     In  this  and  other  matters  of  the  past 

we  must  be  brief.  Our  business  is  to  lay  before  the  public  facts 
,  that  are  of  present  interest  and  importance,  rather  than  amuse, 
'    and  perhaps  instruct,  by  narrating  events  that  have  long  since 

transj)ire(l.  There  is  wanted  a  comprehensive  history  of  our 
I    city :  its  annals  are  still  unrecorded.    When  impartially  written,

they  will  constitute  a  work  of  tlie  greatest  local  importance  and 
interest. 

Previous  to  the  passage  of  the  first  Charter,  A.  J,  Moon, 
Edson  Adams  and  Horace  W.  Carpentier  had  settled  upon  the 
land  now  occupied  by  the  city,  made  a  map  of  the  eastern  por- 
tion, and  in  accordance  with  its  lines  sold  lots  and  blocks,  giving 
quitclaim  deeds,  transferring  their  right,  title  and  interest. 
They  erected  the  first  buildings,  and  were  in  point  of  fact  the 
founders  of  the  city.  A  small  population  had  been  attracted 
here,  sufiicient  to  require  a  town  government.  ; 

The  Board  of  Trustees  first  elected  consisted  of  A.  W. 
Barrell,  A.  J,  Moon,  Edson  Adams,  A.  Marier  and  A.  Staples. 
Mr.  Marier  was  elected  President  of  the  Board,  and  A.  S. 
Hurlbutt  was  appointed  Secretary,  May  seventeenth,  eighteen 
hundred  and  fifty-two,  Mr.  Barrell  introduced  a  bill  or  ordi- 
nance for  the  "  disposal  of  the  water  front  belonging  to  the 
Town  of  Oakland,  and  to  provide  for  the  construction  of 
wharv^es,"  which  was  unanimously  passed.  The  ordinance 
granted  unto  H,  W.  Carpentier,  his  heirs  and  assigns,  the  use 
of  the  water  front  for  thirty-seven  years,  with  the  exclusive 
right  to  erect  wharves  and  docks  and  collect  tolls  and  wharfage. 
In  consideration  of  these  privileges,  he  was  to  build  three 
wharves  and  a  school  house.  By  subsequent  action  the  title 
was  vested  in  him  forever.  The  deed'  to  the  property,  under  the 
ordinance  of  May  seventeenth,  and  an  agreement  bet%veen  the 
contracting  parties,  was  duly  signed  and  executed.  December 
thirtieth,  what  is  now  termed  Broadway  wharf  was  completed, 
and  an  ordinance  approving  and  accepting  the  work  was  passed 
by  a  unanimous  vote.  J  uly  twelfth,  eighteen  hundred  and  fifty- 
three,  the  Board  of  Trustees  received  a  communication  from  » 
Mr.  Carpentier  giving  ofiicial  notice  that  he  had  built  a  "  sub- 
stantial, elegant  and  commodious  school  house,"  and  that  a  free 
school  was  at  the  time  maintained  at  his  own  expense.  He 
delivered  to  the  Board  a  conveyance  of  the  house  and  a  deed  to 
the  lot  on  which  it  stood,  the  corner  of  Fourth  and  Clay  streets. 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  59 

Aufijust  sixtli,  eighteen  huiidre<l  and  iitVy-tliree,  the  Board 
adopted  an  official  seal,  and  the  City  Council,  at  a  subsequent 
date,  adopted  the  same,  sulwtituting  the  words  '*  City  of  Oak- 
land "  for  "  Town  of  Oakland." 

August  twenty-seventh,  Mr.  Carpentier  notified  the  Board 
that  in  pursuance  of  his  contract  with  the  city  he  liad  expended 
about  twenty  thousand  dollars  on  wharves,  and  that  he  was  pre- 
pared to  make  further  outlay,  but  deemed  it  unnecessary.  At 
the  same  time  he  proposed  to  abandon  the  collection  of  wharf- 
age, provided  the  Board  of  Trustees  would  undertake  to  perpet- 
ually keep  all  the  wharves  in  good  order  and  repair.  The 
proposition  was  not  accepted  by  the  Board, 

At  this  time  there  was  a  demand  on  the  part  of  many  of  the 
people  that  the  water  front  property  should  be  recovered  from 
Cai-pentier  by  legal  process,  the  action  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
having  been  denounced  and  considered  by  many  to  be  illegal,  if 
not  dishonest.  The  popular  element  Avas  not  represented  until 
after  the  incorporation  of  the  city  and  the  election  of  the  second 
Council,  under  the  Charter  of  eighteen  hundred  and  tifty-four. 

The  corporate  existence  of  the  City  of  Oakland  began 
March  twenty-fifth,  eighteen  hundred  and  fifty-four,  at  which 
date  an  Act  incorj>orating  the  city  was  approved  by  the  Gov- 
ernor. At  the  election  for  corporate  ofticers,  held  innnediately 
thereafter,  three  hundred  and  sixty-eight  votes  were  cast,  and 
the  following  ofticers  were  elected :  Mayor,  II.  "VV.  Carpentier ; 
City  Marshal,  John  Iloi^aii ;  Citv  Clerk,  J.  B,  I)un«^linf'son ; 
Assessor,  J.  S,  Tubbs;  Councilmen — E.  Gallagher,  A.  D, 
Eames,  J.  Kelsev,  Geo.  M.  Blake,  W.  C.  Josselvn,  A.  Marier. 
This  Council  had  before  it  the  important  work  of  passing  the 
first  ordinances  for  a  city  rising  in  importance  and  having  before 
it  a  future  then  deemed  most  bright  and  promising. 

April  ninth,  eighteen  hundred  and  fifty-four,  the  first  mes- 
sage of  the  Mayor,  11.  W.  Carpentier,  was  transmitted  to  the 
Council,  and  is  the  most  comprehensive  document  of  the  kind 
recorded  in  the  archives  of  the  citv.  After  dwell injr  at  srreat

making  many  suggestions  and  recommendations,  he  glances  at 
the  future  of  the  city,  and  seems  to  have  correctly  divined  it,  as 
can  be  seen  from  the  following  remarkable  passage,  which  we 
copy  from  the  minute  book  for  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and 
fifty-four. 

"  The  attention  of  capitalists  in  Eastern  cities  and  of  men 
connected  M'ith  the  several  schemes  for  the  construction  of  an 
Atlantic  and  Pacific  Eailroad  is  being  strongly  directed  toward 
Oakland  as  the  Pacific  terminus  and  depot  of  the  road,  and 
hydrographic  surveys,  recently  made,  prove  that  the  margin  of 
the  basin  easterly  from  Yerba  Buena  Island,  within  the  limits  of 
the  city,  would  be  admirably  adapted  to  that  purpose.  AVith 
the  expenditure  of  a  small  sum  in  removing  obstructions  from 
its  harbor,  the  commercial  capabilities  and  advantages  of  Oak- 
land would  equal  those  of  any  town  in  the  State.  While  the 
San  Antonio  Inlet,  with  its  ever-placid  waters,  running  through 
the  whole  extent  of  the  city,  would  give  anchorage  to  hundreds 
of  sails  of  small  vessels;  the  deep  waters  of  the  Bay  of  San 
Francisco  at  its  north  side  aftbrds  a  safe  and  commodious  harbor 
for  the  largest  merchantmen. 

"  The  distance  from  Oakland  to  San  Jose  is  less  than  forty 
miles,  through  a  rich  valley,  the  natural  grade  of  which  is  so 
perfect  that  a  railroad  might  be  built  in  a  straight  line  between 
the  two  places,  with  scarcely  a  rod  of  artificial  grading.  To 
Stockton,  the  distance  by  land  is  little  over  one-third  of  the  dis- 
tance by  water.  By  a  pass  through  the  Contra  Costa  Moun- 
tains, a  little  to  the  southward,  and  by  another  pass  in  the 
Monte  Diablo  range,  in  the  direct  route,  a  railroad  can  be  easily 
constructed  between  Stockton  and  this  place,  which  would  be- 
come the  great  thoroughfare  for  travel  and  the  common  carrier 
of  merchandise  to  the  rich  vallevs  which  skirt  the  Tulare  Lake 
and  to  the  Southern  Mines." 

This  message  was  published  in  a  newspaper  at  that  early  day, 
issued  in  this  city,  the  "  Alameda  Express." 

The  earlier  Councils  of  the  city  apjjeared  to  be  inspired  by 
the  same  feeling  that  animates  the  Council  of  the  present  time. 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 


CI 


They  believed  that  the  city  was  to  become  one  of  great  import- 
ance, and  they  acted   accordingly.     A  Police   Force   was   or- 
ganized, and  John  Scott  was  elected  Chief  Engineer.     There 
were  two  Engine  Companies,  and  one  Hook  and  Ladder  Com- 
p.niy_Empire  Fire  Company  No.  1,  Washington  Fire  Com- 
pany No.  2,  and  Oakland  Hook  and  Ladder  Company.     The 
cisterns  still' to  be  seen  on  Broadway,  between  First  and  Fourth 
streets,  were  then  constructed.     A  Board  of  School  Directors 
was  organized,  consisting  of  Professor  Henry  Durant,  James 
Lentell,  and  C.  T.  Jacobus.     As  these  steps  were  premature,  it 
was  the  natural  result  that  the  several  departments  thus  organ- 
ized had  but  a  Inief  existence,  and  the  management  of  all  local 
matters  speedily  returned  to  the  Council,  and  was  retained  by 
that  body  until  the  commencement  of  our  present  era  of  pros- 
perity.    The  Fire  Department  had  but  a  short-lived  existence, 
and  to  the  present  day  Oakland  has  had  no  means  of  resisting 
the  fiery  element.     The  office  of  the  City  Engineer  was  then 

created. 

The  Council  was  seriously  embarrassed  by  the  defalcation  of 
the  City  Marshal,  who.  absconded,  taking  with  him  about 
$10,000  belonging  to  the  city.  He  was  pursued,  and  eventually 
captured  and  brought  to  punishment.  The  succeeding  Council, 
which  was  radically  opposed  in  sentiment  to  the  one  first 
elected,  more  fully  felt  the  trouble  attendant  upon  this  act  of 
official  dishonesty. 

The  Council  of  1854  had  passed  an  ordinance  granting  cer- 
tain parties  the  right  to  build  a  wharf  upon  the  water  front  of 
the  city,  and  granting  other  privileges,  which  was  vetoed  by  the 
Mayor,  August  14th,  1854.  From  this  message  we  take  a  short 
extract,  as  it  is  the  principal  one  of  the  very  few  written,  and 
public  statements  ever  made  by  the  individual  chiefly  interested: 

"  And  in  this  connection  permit  me  to  ask  your  candid  con- 
sideration of  the  fact  that  the  fran(thise  of  wharfage  and  the 
land  proposed  to  be  granted  do  not  belong  to  the  city  to  grant 

or  control. 

"  The  land  mentioned  is  a  part  of  the  Water  Front  of  Oak- 


62  OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 

land,  whicli  was  ceded  by  the  State  to  the  town  in  tlie  iirst  Act 
of  incorporation,  passed  May  ith,  1852,  for  the  purpose  of 
enabling  the  Town  to  construct  wharves  and  other  improve- 
ments, for  which  jHirpose  the  Act  authorised  the  Trustees  to 
dispose  of  the  lands  so  granted. 

"  At  that  time  the  town  had  not  the  means  of  constructing 
them.  There  were  but  few  inhabitants,  and  but  little  taxable 
property  in  the  city.  It  became,  then,  a  matter  of  the  first  im- 
portance and  anxiety  in  the  minds  of  those  who  wished  to  see 
the  young  town  thrive  and  prosper,  that  suitable  wharves  should 
be  built,  as  contemplated  by  the  Legislature,  and  that  common 
schools  should  at  once  be  established.  But  how  were  these  de- 
irable  and  necessary  objects  to  be  accomplished  'i  The  towns 
had  received  the  water  front  from  the  State  for  tlie  very  purpose, 
and  for  that  purpose  was  it  disposed  of  by  the  Boartl  of  Trus- 
tees. They  sold  and  conveyed  the  land,  including  that  men- 
tioned in  the  bill  herewith  returned  to  you,  to  one  of  her 
citizens,  under  ample  guarantees  for  the  faithful  performance  of 
the  contract,  which  he  entered  into,  to  construct  three  wharves 
and  a  school  house.  And  in  consideration  of  a  percentage  upon 
the  income  of  the  wharves,  and  the  care  and  repairs  of  the 
same  and  in  consideration  of  the  premises,  the  exclusive  right 
and  franchise  of  wharfage  was  granted  for  a  term  of  years 
to  the  contractor,  and  has  passed  from  him  into  the  hands  of 
other  citizens." 

The  Water  Front  controversy  was  long  and  bitter,  and 
almost  every  legal  process  seemed  to  have  been  exhausted  prior 
to  its  final  settlement  by  compromise  in  1868.  As  an  indication 
of  the  popular  sentiment  and  the  spirit  which  prompted  the 
affairs  of  our  city  government  for  many  subsequent  years,  we 
present  the  following  extract  from  a  report  submitted  to  a  sub- 
sequent Council,  and  adopted,  upon  a  matter  separate  from  the 
water  front  question,  in  relation  with  H.  W.  Carpentier,  but 
bearing  toward  it  the  closest  and  most  direct  relationship  : 

"  The  ordintmce  which  it  is  proposed  to  repeal  was  passed 
by  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  To\vn  of  Oakland  on  March 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  63 


fifth,  eighteen  hundred  and  fifty-live.  It  authorizes  and  directs 
the  conveyance  to  E.  E.  Carpentier,  liis  lieirt?,  agents  or  assigns, 
of  exclusive  ferry  privileges  '  between  Oakland  and  San  Fran- 
cisco, or  betAveen  the  said  town  or  any  other  place,'  for  the  term 
of  seventy  years,  together  witli  all  the  ferry  rights,  privileges 
and  franchises  which  now  are  or  hereafter  are  to  be  owned  by 
the  Town  of  Oakland.  The  ordinance  directing  the  conveyance 
to  Mr.  Carpentier  is  but  one  of  similar  ordinances  by  which  the 
Town  of  Oakland  has  been  unlawfully  despoiled  of  her  pro- 
perty, divested  of  her  rights,  and  retarded  in  her  prosperity, 
prior  to  the  passage  of  this  ordinance.  The  Trustees  of  the 
Town  of  Oakland  granted  to  the  l)rother  of  said  Cai-pentier  all 
the  water  front  of  the  town,  extending  to  Ship's  Channel,  in  the 
Bay  of  San  Francisco,  together  with  the  exclusive  right  of  con- 
structing wharves  and  collecting  wharfage,  (without  limit  or 
restriction),  for  thirty-seven  years.  A  mere  nominal  percentage, 
without  guarantee  or  security  to  the  town,  and  amounting  in 
the  course  of  two  or  three  years  to  about  one  hundred  dollars, 
is  the  only  consideration  (with  the  exception  of  a  small  school 
house,  for  which  no  deed  is  found)  profterred  the  town  for  the 
aforesaid  grants.  As  trifling  as  this  consideration  is,  the  grantee 
in  the  latter  case  applied  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  obtained 
the  passage  of  an  ordinance  by  which  the  town  assumed  all 
taxes  which  might  be  levied  upon  any  wharf  or  wharves  which 
he  had  constructed  or  might  construct.  This  would  render  the 
city  liable  for  the  State  and  county  taxes  upon  sucli  wharves, 
which,  at  a  moderate  estimate,  would  amount  in  one  year  to 
more  than  the  aforesaid  has  amounted  to  in  two  years ;  thus 
compelling  the  city  to  pay  a  premium  to  the  grantees  for  taking 
all  the  property,  ferry  rights,  privileges  and  franchises  which 
the  town  of  Oakland  had,  present  or  prospective,  to  give  away. 
Under  this  arrangement,  the  people  of  the  town  are  plundered 
of  their  property  and  their  taxes  t«  pay  the  taxes  of  those  who 
liave  ])lundered  them,  and  to  support  a  monopoly  which  adds  iU 
exactions  to  the  measure  of  iniquity  and  injury  thus  imposed 
upon  the  community." 


64  OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 

This  report  was  signed  by  Edward  Gibbons  and  Leonard 
Johnson.  It  expresses  the  spirit  which  influenced  the  Council 
from,  eighteen  hundred  and  fifty-five,  for  many  years.  We  do 
not  propose  to  revive  a  discussion  of  the  merits  of  a  controversy 
which  appears  to  have  been  settled  for  all  time.  In  the  two  ex- 
tracts from  official  documents  which  we  have  copied  we  present 
the  most  succinct  statements  of  opinions  to  be  found  upon  our 
records.  And  here  we  drop  the  cpestion  of  the  Avater  front,  to 
return  to  it  onlv  when  it  is  made  the  instrument  for  securing 
the  location  of  the  terminus  of  the  "Western  Pacific  Railroad  in 
Oakland. 

Oakland  had  several  times  enjoyed  temporary  periods  of  un- 
usual prosperity,  but  her  career  as  a  city  commenced  only  when 
a  sure  and  rapid  means  of  communication  had  been  established 
with  San  Francisco.  The  advantages  of  the  town,  as  a  place  of 
residence,  had  induced  various  parties  engaged  in  business  in 
San  Francisco  to  build  homesteads  in  Oakland.  The  occasional 
detention  of  the  ferry  boats  on  the  Bar  at  the  mouth  of  the  San 
Antonio  Creek  deterred  many  from  taking  up  a  residence,  but 
upon  the  completion  of  the  San  Francisco  and  Oakland  Rail- 
road, a  steady  tide  of  emigration  set  toward  the  city,  and  it  has 
never  diminished,  a  fact  that  can  be  proven  by  an  examination 
of  the  table  showing  the  receipts  of  the  Railroad  Company  since 
January  1866.  The  introduction  of  gas  and  water  into  the  city 
marked  another  era  in  its  progress.  To-day,  there  is  not  a  city 
in  the  State  vrith  a  more  promising  future.  Our  growth  has 
been  solid  and  substantial,  and  the  present  condition  of  the  city 
is  in  every  way  satisfactory. 

Until  within  the  past  year  our  city  has  been  considered  im- 
portant solely  on  account  of  the  number  and  rank  of  the  educa- 
tional institutions  located  in  or  near  its  corporate  limits.  She 
has  been  identified  with  the  higher  educational  interests  of  the 
State  since  an  early  day,  and  the  selection  of  Berkeley  as  the 
site  of  the  State  University  permanently  establishes  the  position 
of  the  city  as  the  educational  centre  of  the  State. 

The  facilities  for  buildinsc  a  vast  citv  within  and  near  the 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  65 

charter  limits  of  Oakland  are  unsurpassed  anywhere  in  Cali- 
fornia, The  natural  grade  is  almost  perfect,  and  a  complete 
system  of  sewerage  can  be  established  at  the  smallest  possible 
expense.  At  an  average  depth  of  live  feet  from  the  surface  of  the 
ground,  there  is  a  thick  stratum  of  sandy  cement  which  aifords 
as  lirm  a  foundation  for  buildings  as  could  possibly  be  required, 
being  as  solid  as  a  bed  of  rock.  This  formation  extends  to  the 
■west  far  out  into  the  Bay,  and  when  the  overflowed  lands  of  that 
portion  of  the  city  are  made  available,  none  of  the  disadvant- 
ages will  be  found,  wliich  in  San  Francisco,  render  it  dangerous 
to  erect  heavy  brick  or  stone  structures  upon  the  made  ground. 
The  supply  of  water  to  be  obtained  in  the  mountains,  but  a  few 
miles  distant,  is  very  great.  Artesian  wells  of  a  moderate  depth 
have  been  sunk  in  various  parts^  of  the  city,  and  it  is  evident 
that  from  the  subterraneous  springs  can  be  drawn  inexhaustible 
supplies  of  pure,  wholesome  water.  Several  quarries  of  su- 
perior building  stone  have  been  opened  but  a  short  dis- 
tance from  the  city.  It  will  never  be  necessary  to  go  abroad  to 
obtain  what  building  material  we  may  require.  The  supply  of 
clean,  sharp  stone  to  be  obtained  in  the  vicinity  of  Oakland  is 
sufficient  for  the  building  of  a  large  city.  At  no  distant  day, 
railroad  communication  will  place  us  in  close  proximity  to  the 
coal  mines  of  Monte  Diablo,  and  the  cost  of  fuel  will  always  be 
moderate,  depending  directly  upon  the  price  of  labor  in  obtain- 
ing it  from  the  mines. 

Oakland  is  certain  to  be  a  city  of  great  prosperity  and  im- 
portance, in  spite  of  any  agency  under  human  control  which 
could  ]>e  directed  against  it.  The  present  population  has  been 
drawn  here  on  account'of  the  pleasantness  of  its  location.  The 
business  of  the  city  has  thus  far  been  coniined  to  supplying  the 
wants  pf  its  own  people,  and  it  is  hardly  possible  that  it  could 
diminish.  On  account  of  their  own  intrinsic  excellence,  the 
number  in  attendance  at  our  educational  institutions  is  contin- 
ually increasing;  and  as  San  Francisco  increases  in  wealth  and 
prosperity,  greater  numbers  of  her  luisiness  men  will  provide

for  themselves  homes  in  our  city.  The  influence  upon  our 
prosperity  which  will  attend  the  completion  of  the  Pacifio  Rail- 
road from  one  border  of  the  continent  to  the  other  can  scarcely 
be  estimated.  It  will  change  the  whole  character  of  the  place, 
rapidly  multiply  its  population,  create  an  extensive  business, 
and  give  to  Oakland  the  position  of  a  commercial  city. 

There  are  now  within  the  charter  limits  of  the  city,  or  in 
such  close  proximity  to  it  as  to  be  virtually  a  portion  of  the 
town,  not  a  few  educational  institutions  and  manufactories. 
There  are  two  female  seminaries  of  the  highest  grade,  and  one 
Roman  Catholic  Convent.  The  only  college  in  the  State,  enti- 
tled to  the  name  by  law  or  usage,  is  in  Oakland.  There  are 
two  high  schools  or  academies,  that  have  obtained  a  wide  celeb- 
rity, and  are  in  advance  of  all  other  private  institutions  in  Cali- 
fornia, if  not  in  Oregon  or  on  the  entire  Pacific  coast.  There 
are  numerous  private  schools  for  young  children,  which  receive 
an  extensive  patronage  from  abroad.  There  are  two  Congrega- 
tional Churches,  one  Presbyterian,  one  Methodist,  one  Baptist, 
one  Episcopal,  one  Catholic,  and  one  African  Church ;  and 
there  are  in  the  city  eight  church  edifices.  There  are  five 
public  school  buildings,  two  of  them  being  expensive  structures, 
and  ornaments  to  this  or  any  other  city  in  the  State. 

We  have  two  grist  mills  to  grind  into  flour  the  wheat  crop 
of  the  county,  and  supply  to  our  citizens  an  article  of  flour  that 
has  no  superior  in  the  State,  or  anywhere  on  the  continent. 
Two  costly  planing  mills  find  employment  in  supplying  material 
for  the  numerous  buildings  continually  being  erected.  Two 
extensive  tanneries  and  one  pottery  are  in  close  proximity 
to  the  city.  Cotton  and  woollen  fabrics  are  manufactured  at 
our  very  doors. 

For  the  length  of  about  six  miles,  our  streets  are  beautifully 
paved.  An  equal  length  of  gas  and  water  pipes  is  laid  through 
them.  Over  one  thousand  feet  of  the  frontage  on  the  San 
Antonio  Creek  is  occupied  with  wharves,  and  the  wants  of  the 
city  are  supplied  by  means  of  three  steamboats  and  numerous 
small  sailing  vessels.    The  extensive  and  valuable  improvements 


I 


OAKLAN.D    DIRECTORY.  67 

now  erected  in  tlie  city  are  required  by  the  present  population- 

Within  tlie  past  year,  tliere  lias  been  erected  a  Baptist 
Church  edifice,  at  a  cost  of  about  twenty  tliousand  dollars. 
Repairs  and  additions  have  been  made  to  the  First  Ct)n<;rega- 
tional  Church  building,  to  the  value  of  $6,000 ;  and  a  Congre- 
gational Church  has  been  erected  at  the  Point,  which  has  cost 
very  nearly  the  same  sum.  One  block  of  two-story  buildings, 
having  a  frontage  of  two  hundred  feet  on  our  principal  business 
street,  has  been  erected,  at  a  probable  cost  of  fifty  thousand  dol- 
lars ;  and  a  three-story  building  has  been  erected,  at  .a  cost  of 
about  one-half  this  amount.  Public  school  improvements  to 
the  value  of  about  thirteen  tliousand  dollars  have  been  made ; 
and  a  public  library,  to  take  rank  among  the  highest,  has  been 
founded  by  the  wealthy  and  public  spirited  citizens  of  Oakland. 
Proper  steps  have  been  taken  to  secure  the  site  for  a  magnificent 
public  park,  and  the  erection  of  a  magnificent  city  hall  has 
been  commenced.  On  every  street  and  in  every  quarter  of  the 
city  are  numerous  new  dwelling  houses,  many  of  them  elegant 
and  costly.  Two  daily  newspapers,  conducted  with  ability  and 
success,  do  credit  to  the  city. 

The  growth  of  Oakland,  up  to  the  present  point,  has  been 
natural,  and  her  prosperity  is  on  a  firm  and  substantial  basis. 
As  yet,  the  principal  part  of  her  citizens  are  engaged  in  various 
business  pursuits  in  the  city  of  San  Francisco ;  but  there  are 
most  convincing  reasons  for  the  belief  that  in  the  immediate 
futm'e  an  entirely  changed  order  of  aft'airs  will  exist. 


FINANCIAL   CONDITION    OF   THE   CITY. 

Through  the  mismanagement  of  the  Town  Council  in  1852 
and  1853,  and  of  the  first  City  Council,  it  become  necessary  to 
fund  the  debt  of  the  city.  At  the  commencement  of  the  year 
1868,  this  funded  debt  amounted  to  $18,400,  and  was  the  only 
debt   owed   by   the   city.     The   Legislature   of   1867-8   passed

OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 


numerous  special  Acts,  under  Avliicli  the  Council  could  issue,  for 
various  specified  purposes,  bonds  to  the  total  amount  of 
$133,000,  as  follows  : 

City  Hall  Bonds S  50,000 

School  Bonds 50,000 

Carpentier  Judgment  Bonds 18.000 

Oakland  Bar  Bonds 15^000 

8133,000 

On  December  1st,  1868,  the  date  at  which  this  review  was 
prepared,  the  amount  of  bonds  actually  issued  was  as  follows : 

City  Hall  Bonds $20,000 

Carpentier  Judgment  Bonds 16,000 

School  Bonds 23,500 

Bonded  Debt  incurred  between  1852  and  1855 18,400 

Total  Funded  Debt $77,900 

As  the  City  Hall  building  is  progressing  rapidly,  the  re- 
maining $30,000  of  City  Hall  bonds  will  soon  be  issued,  and 
the  actual  funded  debt  may  be  set  down  at  $107,900. 


City  Hall  Bonds. — The  City  Hall  and  other  bonds  of  the 
city  have,  up  to  December  1st,  found  a  ready  market,  either  at 
par  or  a  small  premium,  being  regarded  as  fij-st  class  securities. 

By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  approved  March  19th,  1868, 
the  City  Council  is  authorized  to  issue  bonds  to  an  amount  not 
to  exceed  $50,000,  payable  at  any  time  within  fifteen  years,  for 
the  purchase  of  land  and  the  erection  ot  a  City  Hall.  The 
bonds  are  to  be  sold  to  the  highest  bidder,  after  advertisement, 
or  at  par  at  any  time,  the  proceeds  being  placed  to  the  credit  of 
the  Building  Fund,  to  be  expended  under  the  direction  of  the 
Council  for  the  purchase  of  a  suitable  site  for  a  City  Hall  and 
the  erection  of  such  building.  If  such  bonds  cannot  be  sold  for 
ninety  cents  on  the  dollar,  in  gold,  the  Council  are  authorized 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  69 

to  levy  an  annual  tax  of  fifty  cents  on  each  one  hundred  dollars 
of  assessed  i^roperty,  for  the  purposes  mentioned.  After  any  of 
the  bonds  have  been  sold,  and  until  all  have  been  redeemed,  the 
Council  are  required  to  levy  an  annual  tax  sufficient  to  pay  the 
interest  that  may  each  year  accrue.  If  tliere  should  be  no 
money  to  the  credit  of  the  Interest  Fund,  the  Council  is 
required  to  transfer  an  amount  from  any  other  fund,  except  the 
School  Fund,  for  the  purpose  of  paying  whatever  interest  may 
be  due  upon  the  bonds  issued.  The  Council  may  also  levy  an 
annual  tax,  not  to  exceed  ten  cents  on  each  one  hundred  dollars, 
for  the  purpose  of  redeeming  bonds.  In  the  year  1880  the 
Council  is  required  to  levy  a  tax  sufficient  to  redeem  one-lialf 
the  bonds  then  outstanding ;  and  in  the  year  1882  they  shall 
levy  a  tax  sufficient  for  the  redemption  of  the  remainder. 

School  Bands. — By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  approved 
March  13th,  1868,  the  City  Council  was  authorized  to  issue  and 
sell  bonds  to  an  amount  not  exceeding  $50f<>00,  payable  at  any 
time  within  ten  years,  to  bear  interest  at  a  rate  not  to  exceed 
ten  per  cent,  per  annum,  payable  on  the  second  day  of  January 
of  each  year.  The  bonds  are  to  be  in  sums  of  not  less  than  $100 
or  more  than  $500  each,  and  must  have  coupons  attached, 
signed  by  the  Mayor  and  City  Treasurer.  The  bonds  can  be 
sold  by  the  Council  at  any  meeting  at  par ;  otherwise,  sealed 
proposals  must  be  advertised  for ;  but  no  bonds  shall  be  sold  for 
less  than  ninety  cents,  in  gold,  upon  the  par  value.  The  pro- 
ceeds of  the  sale  of  these  bonds  are  to  be  paid  into  the  City 
Treasury  and  placed  to  the  credit  of  the  School  Fund.  Such 
money  shall  be  used  for  the  sole  purpose  of  procuring  land  and 
erecting  school  houses;  but  no  portion  shall  be  expended  %vith- 
out  the  consent  of  four  members  of  the  Council  and  four  mem- 
bers of  the  Board  of  Education.  After  any  of  these  bonds  are 
sold,  and  until  all  bonds  sold  under  this  Act  are  redeemed,  the 
Council  is  required  to  levy  a  tax  upon  city  property  sufficient  to 
pay  the  interes*  upon  the  outstanding  bonds.  Any  surplus 
money  shall  ])e  applied  to  the  redemption  of  bonds.     Tlie  Coun-

cil  may,  each  year,  until  1878,  levy  a  tax,  not  to  exceed  ten  cents 
on  each  one  hundred  dollars  of  assessed  property,  for  the 
redemption  of  bonds;  and  whenever  the  amount  so  raised  shall 
be  one  thousand  dollars  or  more,  it  shall  be  applied  to  that  pur- 
pose. In  the  year  1875  the  Council  is  required  to  levy  a  tax 
suthcient  to  redeem  one-half  the  bonds  then  outstanding ;  and 
in  1877  they  shall  levy  a  tax  sufficient  to  redeem  the  remainder 
of  the  bonds  that  may  be  issued  under  this  Act. 

Pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  Act,  bonds  to  the  amount 
of  $23,500  have  been  issued.  Of  this  amount,  $10,000  were 
required  for  the  payment  for  Lafayette  Grammar  School  build- 
ing and  the  Point  School  house,  debts  contracted  by  the  City 
Council  prior  to  the  passage  of  the  Act. 

Judgment  Bonds. — An  Act  supplemental  to  the  City  Hall 
Act,  approved  March  28th,  1868,  empowers  the  City  Council  to 
issue  bonds  to  an  anfount  not  exceeding  $18,000,  to  be  applied 
to  the  payment  of  any  iinal  judgment  existing  against  the  city. 
The  bonds  are  similar  in  all  respects  to  those  issued  under  the 
City  Hall  Bond  Act.  Tinder  this  Act,  bonds  to  the  amount  of 
$16,000  have  been  issued  to  E.  R.  Carpentier,  in  satisfaction  for 
a  final  judgment  against  the  city,  held  by  him. 

Ookland  Bar  Bonds. — By  an  Act  approved  March  28th, 
1868,  the  Council  are  authorized  to  issue  bonds  to  the  amount 
of  $15,000,  the  proceeds  to  be  applied  toward  removing  obstruc- 
tions at  the  mouth  of  the  San  Antonio  Creek,  so  as  to  render 
the  same  navigable.  These  bonds  are  to  be  similar  in  all  re- 
spects to  those  issued  under  the  City  Hall  Bond  Act.  The 
Council  are,  in  addition,  authorized  to  raise  anually,  by  direct 
taxation,  a  sum  not  to  exceed  $5,000,  to  be  applied  to  the  same 
purpose.  No  definite  action  has  been  taken  by  the  Council  up 
to  the  date  of  this  writing,  to  avail  itself  of  the  privileges  per- 
mitted by  this  Act,  no  bonds  having  been  issued,  and  no  legis- 
lation having  this  end  in  view  having  been  commenced.

It  will  be  seen  from  the  above  that  the  expenses  of  the  city 
have  rapidly  increased,  and  that  its  receipts  have  increased  in 
an  apparently  greater  ratio.  In  reality,  the  receipts  have  not  in- 
creased as  rapidly  as  the  expenses,  the  apparent  increase  being 
due  to  the  sale  of  the  bonds.  The  actual  amount  of  money  in 
the  Treasurv,  December  5th,  including  the  total  tax  collected 
for  the  fiscal  year  1868-9,  was  $7,233  61,  and  the  total  liabili- 
ties amounted  to  $11,824  89,  showing  a  large  deficiency,  and 
demonstrating  the  necessity  of  borrowing  at  least  $10,000,  the 


72  OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 

fullest  amount  permitted  by  the  charter,  to  meet  current  ex- 
penses. The  receipts  for  municipal  licenses  issued  during  the 
lirst  two  months  of  the  last  quarter  of  the  year  1868,  amounted 
to  $1,720  25,  whicli  may  be  taken  as  the  average  quarterly 
amount,  licenses  being  payable  in  advance. 

The  gas  bill  for  the-  month  of  October  was  834:6  57^.  There 
were  in  use  at  the  expiration  of  that  month  sixty  street  lamps, 
and  under  the  present  contract  22^  cents  per  lamp  is  paid  for 
each  night,  and  the  price  will  so  remain  until  the  number  of 
lamps  exceeds  250,  when  the  price  will  be  20  cents. 

The  monthly  amount  of  the  salaries  paid  to  the  city  Super- 
intendent, Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Education,  and  the 
Teachers  in  the  employ  of  the  School  Department  is  $1,133  33,, 
and  there  being  ten  school  months  in  the  year,  the  annual 
amoimt,  upon  the  present  scale,  would  consequently  be 
$11,333  30.  Under  the  new  rules  of  the  Board  of  Education, 
teachers  are  to  be  paid  twelve  months  during  the  year,  but  the 
total  annual  amount  so  paid  will  be  the  same  as  formerly.  The 
revenue  of  the  School  Dejjartment  consists  in  thirty  per  cent  of 
the  city  taxes,  thirty-five  cents  on  each  one  hundred  dollars  of 
assessed  valuation  from  the  State  and  county  taxes.  The 
School  Department  has  lived  within  its  means,  and  while  most 
of  the  city  ofiicials  will  be  obliged  to  wait  for  their  salaries 
for  a  long  period,  perhaps  for  a  whole  year,  the  Public  School 
Teachers  will  be  able  to  receive  their  salaries  as  quickly  as  they 
become  due. 

The  rate  of  the  city  taxation,  for  all  purposes,  is  one  per  cent, 
on  the  assessed  value  of  the  property  within  the  limits  of  the 
city.  The  total  valuation  for  the  last  fiscal  year  was  $3,364,078 
and  the  tax,  $33,360  78.  Of  this  tax,  $27,957  83  were  col- 
lected, leaving  a  delinquency  of  $5,682  95.  By  ordinance,  the 
monies  received  were  apportioned  to  the  several  funds  in  the 
following  ratio  :

THE   EDWARD   K.    CARPENTIER   SUITS. 

On  August  ITtli,  1S6S,  the  City  Council  adopted  a  final  reso- 
lution authorizing  the  City  Clerk  to  issue  to  Edward  R.  Carpen- 
tier  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $16,000,  in  satisfaction  for  the 
judgment  held  by  him  against  the  City  of  Oakland.  Thus  ter- 
minated a  series  of  law  suits  which  had  been  maintained  for 
fourteen  years,  the  city  paying  the  full  amount  demanded  by 
Mr.  Carpentier  and  allowed  by  the  Twelfth  District  Court. 

February  11th,  1854,  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  then  Town 
of  Oakland  employed  E.  R.  Carpentier  to  defend  certain  injunc- 
tion suits  brought  by  John  C.  Hays  and  others  against  John 
Ilogan,  Town  Marshal,  to  restrain  the  collection  of  to"sra  taxes, 
at  a  price  not  to  exceed  $1,000.  The  service  Avas  rendered,  and 
a  warrant  for  the  payment  of  the  stipulated  price  was  issued. 
Other  legal  services  were  performed,  and  other  claims  accrued  ; 
and  claims  being  made  which  were  deemed  unjust  and  un- 
founded, the  payment  was  resisted,  and  litigation  has  continued 
from  1854  imtil  1868,  when  in  the  Twelfth  District  Court  judg- 
ment was  rendered  for  $15,225  88,  debt  and  damages,  and  costs, 
and  disbursements,  and  percentage  allowed  by  law ;  the  amount 
of  the  judgment  to  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  ten  per  cent,  per 
annum.  When  by  order  of  the  Council  the  bonds  were  issued, 
the  debt  amounted  to  $16,000,  which  sum  was  received  in  full 
payment  of  the  judgment.

The  Public  Schools  of  Oakland  are  in  a  condition  that  is  most 
satifactory  to  the  people  and  creditable  to  the  city.  We  have 
five  school  houses,  containing  sixteen  class-rooms.  Twelve 
teachers  are  in  the  employ  of  the  Department,  eleven  of  the 
number  being  females.  Lafavette  Grammar  School  contains 
four  class-rooms,  in  which  studies  of  the  Grammar  School  grade 
are  taught.  The  eight  remaining  classes  are  of  the^  primary 
grades. 

In  1866,  the  Board  of  Education  was  first  created  by  Act  of 
the  Legislature,  and  given  full  control  of  the  City  School  Fund. 
Under  this  Act  the  powers  of  the  Board  were  quite  restricted, 
and  in  March,  1860,  the  Legislature  passed  another  law,  under 
which  the  present  Board  was  elected,  and  is  now  acting.  This 
Act  provides  that  the  Board  shall  consist  of  seven  Directors ; 
three  and  four  to  be  elected  each  alternate  year,  and  one  Di- 
rector to  be  chosen  from  each  Ward  of  the  city,  whenever  such 
Wards  are  established,  if  they  do  not  exceed  seven  in  number. 
The  Board  has  the  sole  power  to  establish  and  maintain  Public 
Schools  in  Oakland ;  employ  and  dismiss  teachers ;  provide 
suitable  rules  and  regulations  for  the  government  of  the  schools ; 
procure  supplies ;  build,  alter,  repair,  and  rent  school  buildings ; 
purchase  and  sell  land  for  school  purposes,  with  the  concurrent 
vote  of  the  Council ;  maintain  actions  at  law ;  determine  the 
amount  of  school  tax  to  be  levied  by  the  Council.  The  Board 
has  exclusive  control  of  the  School  Fund,  and  has  ample  power 
to  carry  into  eftect  all  the  provisions  of  the  Act. 

No  teacher  can  be  employed  in  the  School  Department  who 
does  not  bear  a  certificate  issued  by  the  City  Board  of  Examina- 
tion, and  the  Board  of  Education  can  determine  upon  what 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  T5 

qualifications  shall  be  possessed  bj  teachers  in  its  employ. 

A  City  Superintendent  of  Schools  is  chosen  at  each  charter 
election.  •  He  is  the  executive  officer,  and  upon  him  falls  the 
task  of  havint:  the  immediate  care  of  the  schools.  The  Act  is 
elaborate  in  its  details,  and  if  the  workings  of  the  Department 
should  be  unsatisfactory  it  will  not  be  on  account  of  the  insuf- 
■ficiency  of  the  law  creating  it. 

Witli  the  concurrent  vote  of  the  City  Council,  the  Board  of 
Education  can  use  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  bonds  to  the  value 
of  $50,000,  for  building  purposes.  The  outlines  of  the  Act 
authorizing  the  issuance  of  such  bonds  can  be  found  elsewhere. 
Prior  to  the  passage  of  the  Act,  there  was  a  school  debt  of 
$10,000,  incurred  in  the  erection  of  Lafayette  Grammar  School 
Building,  and  in  making  various  school  improvements.  This 
amount  was  paid  by  an  issue  of  bonds.  For  improvements 
made  during  the  present  year,  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $13,500 
have  been  issued. 

The  salaries  have  been  fixed  as  follows  : 


Grammar  Masters $175   per  month. 

Principals 100  " 

Assistants T5  " 


There  are  ten  school  months  in  the  vear,  under  the  former 
rules  of  the  Board.  Under  newly  adopted  rules,  the  teachers 
are  paid  for  twelve  months,  but  the  monthly  amount  is  so  re- 
duced as  to  keep  the  annual  pay  the  same 

The  number  of  children  as  ascertained  bv  School  Census 
Marshals,  for  the  past  six  years,  is  as  follows  : 

School  Census  of  1803 811 

School  Census  of  1804 1,043 

School  Census  of  1805 1,253 

School  Census  of  1800 1,282 

School  Census  of  1867 1,532 

School  Census  of  1868 •. 1,735 


'i^  OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 

The  census  for  some  of  the  years  mentioned  above  shows  the 
total  number  of  children  under  twenty-one  years  of  age,  while 
at  other  times  it  shows  the  number  under  eighteen  years  of  age ; 
and  the  census  for  the  last  year  gives  the  number  under  fifteen 
years  of  age.  A  strictly  accurate  idea  of  the  increase  of  popu- 
lation cannot,  therefore,  be  derived  from  these  figures. 

During  the  year  1863,  the  average  daily  attendance  at  the 
Public  School  was  115.  From  July,  1866,  to  July  1867,  the 
averao;e  dailv  attendance  is  estimated  at  311.  The  estimated 
average  daily  attendance  from  August,  1867,  to  June,  1868,  is 
461.  At  the  present  time  the  number  of  school  children  for 
which  Oakland  is  entitled  to  draw  State  and  County  moneys  is 
1,038. 

The  school  improvements  made  during  the  past  year  are 
extensive.  At  the  Oakland  Point,  an  eight-room  school  house  has 
been  erected,  at  a  cost  of  $8,000.  The  four  rooms  upon  the 
lower  floor  only  are  finished,  and  will  be  used  for  both  graminar 
and  primary  classes.  School  house  No.  1,  has  been  so  altered 
as  to  contain  three  rooms  instead  of  two,  as  formerlv,  and  a 
wing  containing  one  room  has  been  added  to  School-house  No. 
2.     Other  improvements  are  in  contemplation. 

The  school  houses  are  furnished  neatly,  though  not  expen- 
sively, and  each  building  is  provided  with  a  parlor-organ,  except 
Lafayette  Grammar  School,  for  which  a  piano  has  been  pro- 
cured. The  studies  pursued  are  similar  to  those  in  the  San 
Francisco  Schools,  and  the  pupils  in  our  Grammar  School  are 
carried  through  precisely  the  same  course  of  study  as  the  youth 
of  that  city. 

The  Lafayette  Grammar  School  is  located  on  the  block  north 
of  the  Public  Square  of  that  name,  and  is  under  the  control  of 
J.  B,  McChesney,  the  Grammar  Master,  The  Assistants  are 
Mary  Lichten thaler,  Fanny  E.  Willis,  and  H.  E.  Jackson.  The 
attendance  during  the  past  term  has  been  on  the  average  two 
hundred  scholars. 

Primary  No.  1,  is  located  on  the  same  block  with  Lafavette 
Grammar  School.     Mrs.  M.  AV,  Phelps  is  Principal,  and  Eliza 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  77 

P.  Brown  and  M.  E.  Ludwig  are  Assistants.  The  attendance 
at  this  School  averages  about  150  scholars. 

Primary  No.  2,  is  located  on  the  corner  of  Alice  and  Fifth 
streets,  fronting  on  Fifth  street,  and  opposite  to  Harrison 
Square.  The  Principal  is  Mary  Alexander  ;  the  Assistants  are 
Lizzie  Betanure  and  Emily  E,  Jayne.  There  have  been  in  or- 
dinary attendance  at  this  School,  during  the  past  term,  about 
1 30  scholai-s. 

The  new  school  building  at  the  Point  has  not  been  occupied. 
A  one-story  two  room  building  has  for  a  considerable  period 
been  in  use.  Miss  Annie  E.  Lewis  is  Principal,  and  Susie  A. 
Mowry,  Assistant.  The  attendance  has  fluctuated  greatly,  the 
averasre  beinjj  about  one  hundred.  The  new  buildino^  is  to  be 
occupied  from  the  beginning  of  the  present  year,  and  a  Grammar 
School  Class  is  to  be  started. 

The  financial  management  of  the  Board  of  Education  has 
been  prudent,  and  the  School  Department  does  not  find  itself  in 
that  embarrassed  condition  into  which  the  other  departments  of 
our  city  government  have  been  thrown. 

STREETS  AND  STREET  IMPROVEMENTS. 

Ever  since  the  incorporation  of  the  city,  the  streets  in  the 
southeastern  portion,  included  between  Market  and  Fourteenth 
streets  and  the  Creek,  liave  been  legally  established,  and  with 
but  a  few  exceptions,  open  for  public  travel.  These  streets  are 
eighty  feet  in  widtli,  with  the  exception  of  Broadway,  which  is 
110  feet  wide.  The  blocks  are  200x300  feet  in  size.  By  or- 
dinances of  the  City  Council,  the  width  of  sidewalks  has  been 
estal)lished  at  fourteen  feet,  except  on  Broadway,  where  the 
sidewalks  are  twenty  feet  wide.  West  of  Market  street  they 
are  to  be  eighteen  feet  wide. 

By  an  Act  of  the  Legishiture,  approved  April  25th,  1863,  the 
city  charter  was  so  amended  as  to  authorize  the  City  Council  to 
adopt  a  general  plan  or  system  of  streets,  for  that  portion  of  the 
city   not   included   between   Market    and    Fourteenth    streets. 


78  OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 


After  the  establishmejit  of  such  general  plan  or  system,  im- 
provements erected  upon  the  line  of  a  proposed  street  cannot  be 
included  in  any  assessment  for  damages.  November  16th,  1868, 
the  Council  passed  an  ordinance,  adopting  a  general  system  of 
streets,  and  the  map  showing  the  chosen  plan  is  prefaced  to  this 
work,  which  renders  unnecessary  any  description,  the  map  being 
its  own  best  explanation.  Applications  for  opening  any  of  these 
streets  must  be  made  to  the  Council  in  writing,  designating  the 
particular  street  to  be  opened,  and  the  residences  of  the  appli- 
cants. If  the  Council  should  determine  that  the  street  should 
be  opened,  the  Marshal  shall  be  directed  to  notify  the  owners  or 
occupants  of  the  land  embraced  within  the  lines  of  such  street, 
to  appear  before  the  Council  at  a  given  time,  and  state  any  ob- 
jections they  may  have  to  the  opening  of  the  street.  After  their 
appearance,  and  the  announcement  of  their  claims  for  damag- 
ino-  if  any  there  be,  the  Council  shall  fix  a  time  for  assessing 
damages.  For  this  purpose,  the  Council  has  very  nearly  the 
same  power  as  a  Court ;  can  compel  the  attendance  of  witnesses, 
administer  oaths,  etc.  Parties  who  feel  themselves  aggrieved  by 
the  action  of  the  Council  can  appeal  to  the  County  Court,  The 
Council  has  no  authority  under  any  existing  law  to  pay  dam- 
ao-es  from  the  City  Treasury.  If  the  property  holders  petition- 
in  o-  for  the  opening  of  a  sLreet,  should  raise  an  amount  sufficient 
to  pay  the  final  damages  awarded,  the  opening  of  a  street  can 
be  enforced,  not  otherwise. 

Street  improvements  are  ordered  and  made  in  pursuance  of 
an  Act,  approved  April  4th,  1864.  The  Act  is  long,  elaborate, 
and  complete.  The  Council  is  authorized  to  order  the  improve- 
ment of  any  street,  lane  or  alley  within  the  limits  of  the  city. 

Property  holders  file  with  tlie  Council  a  petition  designating 
the  improvement  desired.  Should  the  Council  see  fit,  they  pass 
a  resolution  declaring  their  intention  to  order  the  work  peti- 
tioned for,  which  resolution  must  be  published  for  the  period  of 
ten  days.  Prior  to  the  expiration  of  that  time,  the  owners  of 
more  than  one-half  the  frontage  upon  the  street  proposed  to  be 
improved,  may  file  their  protest  with  the  City  Clerk,  and  such 


OAKLAND    DIEECTORY, 


79 


protest  is  a  bur  to  all  further  proceedings  tor  the  i)criod  of  six 
months.  Should  no  such  protest  be  tiled,  the  Council  adver- 
tises for  bids  for  doing  the  work,  in  accordance  with  such  speci- 
fications as  they  may  adopt,  and  the  contraet  must  be  awarded 
to  the  lowest  responsible  bidder.  Notice  of  the  award  must 
be  published  for  the  period  of  five  days.  "Within  this  period, 
the  owners  of  property  fronting  upon  the  street  to  be  improved 
ma3%  by  agreement  among  themselves,  do  the  work  ordered, 
which  must  be  at  the  price  charged  by  the  lowest  bidder. 
AVhen  a  contract  has  been  completed  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
City  Engineer  and  the  City  Marshal,  a  warrant  is  issued  to  the 
contractor,  authorizing  him  to  collect  from  the  property  holders 
the  amounts  due  from  them  for  their  proportion  of  the  improve- 
ments. 

An  official  grade  has  been  adopted  for  the  portion  of  the  city 
within  Market  and  Fourteenth  streets,  and  for  several  streets  in 
the  western  part  of  the  city.  According  to  this  grade,  most  of 
the  blocks  are  to  be  above  the  level  of  the  streets,  and  there  is 
to  be  but  a  small  amount  of  filling  in.  The  official  grade  was 
adopted  by  the  Council,  by  ordinance,  December  21st,  1867. 

The  almost  perfect  natural  grade  of  Oakland  has  rendered 
the  improvement  of  her  streets  a  matter  easy  of  accomplish- 
ment. There  are  no  sand  hills  to  be  dug  away,  and  no  rocky 
cliffs  to  be  undermined  and  removed.  The  only  method  as  yet 
adopted  for  making  the  streets  more  convenient  for  horses  and 
vehicles  is  that  of  macadamizing  them.  At  a  distance  of  five 
miles  from  the  city  are  inexhaustible  quantities  of  rock  suitable 
for  the  i)urpose.  After  being  exposed  to  the  winter  rains  and 
becoming  packed  and  firm,  it  in  many  cases  equals  a  pavement 
of  asphaltuMi.  If  pro}>er  care  were  to  be  taken  to  keep  the 
macadamized  streets  in  a  state  of  cleanliness  and  repair,  they 
would  not  be  inferior  to  the  cobble  stone  pavements  of  most 
American  cities.  The  first  experiment  in  inipruving  the  streets 
of  Oakland  was  in  macadamizing  the  section  of  Broadway  be- 
tween Fourth  and  Tenth  streets,  the  contract  for  this  work 
being  let  December  2d,  1804.     The  'price  jter  square  foot  then 


80 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 


charged  was  eight  and  one-half  cents.  Since  that  time  prices 
have  fluctuated  between  four  and  one-half  cents  per  square  foot 
and  six  and  one-half  cents.  The  streets  are  being  improved 
very  rapidly,  and  the  table  which  we  present  below  will  be  in- 
complete shortly  after  the  appearance  of  this  Directory,  street 
contracts  being  awarded  almost  weekly.  "We  present  the  fol- 
lowing list,  showing  the  streets  macadamized,  their  length,  and 
cost :

Although  the  figures  thus  presented  appear  large,  there  can 
be  no  question  but  that  the  value  of  property  has  been  in- 
creased by  street  improvements  far  beyond  the  amount  ex- 
pended in  creating  them.  Whenever  a  railway  or  tramroad 
may  be  constructed  to  the  foot  hills,  the  cost  of  street  improve- 
ments should  be  materially  diminished.  Except  upon  Broad- 
way, too  little  attention  has  been  given  to  making  convenient 
and  substantial  sidewalks.  These  are  scarcely  less  important 
than  the  streets  themselves ;  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  in  future 
improvements  this  fact  will"  be  properh-  recognized.

EOAD   TEKMIXL'S. 


The  Oakland  Water  Front  promises  to  he  the  great  cause  for 
the  future  commercial  pros})erity  of  our  city.  Its  importance 
Avas  foreseen  tifteen  years  ago,  and  the  person  who  then  ob- 
tained possession  of  it  has  clung  to  it  with  pertinacity,  defended 
his  title  in  every  Court,  and  linally  ended  litigation  only  by

compromise.     In  tlie  summer  of  tlie  year  ISfiT,  the  City  Council 
took  steps  toward  viironuisly  prosecutiuii;  the  suits  l>etween  II. 
W.  Carpentier  and  tlie  City,  tor  the  possession  of  the  Water 
Front  property.     John  B.  Felton  was  chosen  as  special  counsel 
on  our  behalf,  with  a  contingent  fee  of  fifteen  per  cent  of  the 
property  he  inight  save  to  the  city.     He  entered  upon  his  task 
promptly   and   with   energy.     The   A\^estern    Pacific   Eailroad 
Comjiany  had  not  then  located  its  extreme  western  terminus, 
and  each  town  bordering  upon  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco  ex- 
pected the  coveted  prize.     Various  were  the  inducements  offered, 
and  innumeral)le  were  the  schemes  devised  for  influencing  the 
choice  of  the  Company.     The  members  of  the  City  Council  and 
their  Attorney,  felt  that  Oakland  had  one  offering  which  would 
turn  the  scale  in  her  favor,  if  it  could  but  be  made  available. 
The  entire  water  water  front  had  been  conveyed  to  the  city,  and 
the   validity  of  the  conveyance  of  the  proi)erty  by  the  city  to 
one  of  its  iidiabitants  was  the  only  matter  at  issue.     If  i)ersistent 
litigation  .should  be  continued,  the  golden   opportunities  would 
pass  unimproved.     A  compromise  was  talked  of     If  the  Wes- 
tern Pacific  Pailroad  Company  could  be  granted  a  large  portion 
of  the  property,  it  would  Avitliuut  doubt  locate  its  terminus  in 
this  city,  for  there  were  numerous  advantages  tluit  could  not  be 
disregarded,  if  a  clear  title  could  be  given  to  the  land  upon 
which  its  improvements  would  be  erected.     Having  the  indorse- 
ment of  the  people,  tlie  City  Council  nuide  ai.plication  to  the 
Legislature,  and  in  due  time  a  short  Act  was  passed  em])ower- 
ing  the  Council  to  settle  the  controversies  of  the  city  as  it  might 
deem  best.     Mr.  Carpentier  and  the  members  (.f  the  City  Coun- 
cil then  agreed  upon  the  terms  of  a  comj^romise,  which  were 
briefly  to  the  effect  that  Mr.  Carpentier  Avould  sun-ender  his 
title  to  one-half  the  property,  provided  the  city  would  convey 
the  remaining  half  to  the  liailroad  Comi)any,  tbr  terminal  pur- 
poses.    Upon    this   i)rinciple  the  terms  of  a  compromise  were 
elaborated  and  ]nit  into  a  tangible  form.     The  proper  negotia- 
tions  were   had    with  the  managing  officers   of   the    Pwailroad 
Company,  and  satisfactory  assurances  were  obtained. 


86  OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 

On  the  evening  of  April  1st,  1868,  the  City  Council  passed 
the  following  ordinance,  which  is  in  a  measure  self-explanatory : 

An  Ordinance  for  the  Settlement  of  Controversies  and  Disputes 
Concerning)  the  Water  JFront  of  the  Ciiij  of  OaJdand,  the 
FroMchisGS  thereof  and  other  matters  pertaining  thereto : 

The  Council  of  the  City  of  Oakland  do  ordain  as  follows : 

« 

Section  1. — The  claims,  demands,  controversies,  disputes, 
litigations,  and  causes  of  action,  heretofore  existing  between  the 
City  of  Oakland  on  the  one  part,  and  Horace  AV'.  Carpentier 
and  his  assigns  of  the  other  part,  relating  to  the  force,  validity, 
and  effect  of  a  certain  ordinance  passed  by  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  the  Town  of  Oakland,  on  the  ISth  day  of  May,  a.  d, 
1852,  and  enrolled  May  2Tth,  1$52,  signed  by  A.  Marier,  President 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  F.  K.  Shattuck,  Clerk  of  said 
Board,  entitled  "  An  Ordinance  for  the  disposal  of  the  AVater 
Front  belonging  to  the  Town  of  Oakland,  and  to  provide  for  the 
construction  of  wharves,"  wherein  and  whereby,  for  the  consider- 
ation therein  named,  the  Water  Front  of  said  town,  that  is  to

which  have  been  heretofore  acquired  by  the  party  of  the  first 
part  from  the  Town  of  Oakland  and  the  City  of  Oakland,  or 
either  of  them,  and  all  rights  to  the  above  mentioned  land,

unto set  his  hand  and  seal  the  day  and  year  aforesaid. 

*  "  II.  W.  CAEPEXTIER." 


The  portion  of  the  water  front  reserved  was  to  be  deeded  to 
the  city  for  the  public  use,  and  was  a  concession  which  had  been 
demanded  and  insisted  upon  as  essential,  to  prevent  the  success 
of  a  complete  monopoly  of  ferry  privileges.  Unfortunately  the 
Council  had  previously  granted  the  use  of  this  identical  prop- 
erty to  the  San  Francisco  and  Oakland  Railroad  Company,  but 
the  privilege  had  never  been  made  available,  and  the  ordinance 
was  deemed  to  be  in  violation  of  tlie  citv  charter,  and  conse- 
quently  of  no  force  or  effect.  As  quickly  as  a  compromise  had 
been  agreed  upon,  the  Company  endeavored  to  take  possession 
of  this  land,  and  legal  proceedings  were  forthwith  undertaken, 
which,  up  to  the  present  time,  do  not  appear  to  be  near  a  ter- 
mination. 

The  Water  Front  Company  is  essentially  a  brancli  of  the 
Western  Pacific  Railroad  Company.  It  was  incorporated  in 
April,  1808.  The  capital  stock  of  the  Company  is  §5,000,000, 
divided  into  $50,000  shares.      The  Trustees  are — E.  R.  Carpen-

• 

The  oltjects  for  which  the  Company  is  formed  are  stated  in 
the  certificate  of  incorporation,  to  be,  to  "  build,  construct,  ac- 
quire, own,  hold,  manage,  use  and  control  wharves,  docks, 
basins,  dry  docks,  piers  and  warehouses,  in  the  City  of  Oakland, 
and  State  of  California,  or  elsewhere,  and  to  lease,  or  sell,  con- 
vey, or  otherwise  dispose  of  the  same ;  to  borrow  and  lend 
money :  to  eni^ajje  and  carry  on  the  business  of  commerce, 
foreii^n  and  domestic  ;  to  purchase,  acquire,  manage,  hold,  con- 
trol, hy})othecate,  mortgage,  encumber,  lease,  sell,  convey,  or 
otherwise  dispose  of  the  AVater  Front  of  said  city,  and  any  tide, 
Kubmerired  and  overflowed  or  other  lands  in  the  Citv  of  Oakland 
or  elsewhere,  t«;)gether  with  the  rights,  privileges  and  franchises 
connected  therewith  or  appurtenant  thereto ;  and  also,  an}' 
other  property,  real,  personal  or  mixed,  clioses  in  action,  rights, 
privileges  and  franchises." 

The  contract  referred  to  above  as  existing  between  the  "  Oak- 
land Water  Front  Company,  the  Western  Pacific  Pailroad  Com- 
pany, and  other  parties,"  was  entered  into  April  1st,  1868,  by 
the  following  named  parties  :  The  "Western  Pacific  Ilailroad,  by 
its  officers,  as  first  party ;  Leland  Stanford,  as  second  party,  and 
the  Oakland  Water  Front  Company,  as  third  party  ;  and  speci- 
fies that  the  first  party  agrees  to  construct  and  complete  a  railroad 
connecti<»n  with  the  Central  line,  to  terminate  upon  certain 
lands  to  be  selected  from  the  Water  Front  Company's  property  ; 
also  to  erect  buildings  and  structures  for  passenger  and  freight 
depots,  and  to  expend  within  a  specified  time,  upon  said  lands, 
at  least  $5UO,00(>,  gold  coin,  not  including  the  i)urchase  of  any 
existing  improvements. 

Tlie  contract  is  not  a  matter  of  public  record,  otherwise  it 
would  in  this  connection  l»c  published. 


92  OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 

The  water  front  property  lias  been  carefully  surveyed,  under 
the  supervision  of  Calvin  Brown,  and  a  most  complete  and 
elaborate  map  has  been  prepared.  The  railroad  reservation  an- 
nounced is  shown  upon  the  map  accompanying  this  volume. 
The  intention  of  the  Water  Front  Company  and  of  the  Western 
Pacific  Railroad  Company,  at  the  date  of  this  M-ritinc;,  is  not 
fully  announced.  Work  upon  the  portion  of  the  road  between 
this  city  and  Stockton,  hj  way  of  Livermore  Pass,  is  progress- 
ing with  rapidity,  and  work  is  to  be  commenced  in  this  city 
almost  immediately.  It  is,  indeed,  probal)le  that  when  this 
meets  the  eye  of  the  reader,  hundreds  of  laborers  will  be  at 
work  in  Oakland  and  its  immediate  vicinity,  npon  tlie  improve- 
ments projected  by  the  Water  Front  Company  and  the  Western 
Pacific  Railroad  Company, 

REAL    ESTATE GROWTH    OF    THE    CITY. 

During  the  past  two  years  the  value  of  Oakland  real  estate 
has  increased  fully  200  per  cent.,  and  is  now  steadily  and 
rapidly  advancing.  It  is  in  exceptional  cases  only  that  property 
commands  a  high  price  on  account  of  its  prospective  value. 
Within  the  limits  of  the  city,  the  value  of  property  is  founded 
upon  the  extent  of  the  income  that  might  be  derived  from  it,  if 
improved.  There  has  been  inflation  in  regard  to  outside  lands, 
which  have  in  numerous  cases  been  sold  at  prices  far  in  excess  of 
their  intrinsic  value.  Such  transactions  have  not  been  numer- 
ous, but  they  have  in  a  measure  injured  the  legitimate  operators 
in  real  estate.  Mr.  E.  C.  Sessions,  one  of  the  leading  real  estate 
dealers  and  owners  in  Oakland,  commenced  the  publication  of 
The  Real  Estate  Gazette^  November  Ttli,  186S.  The  initial 
number  contained  a  table  showing  real  estate  transactions  in 
Oakland,  Brooklyn  and  Alameda  Townships  for  the  two  years 
ending  November  1st,  1868.  This  being  the  transition  period, 
during  which  Oakland  changed  from  the  condition  of  a  quiet 
village  to  that  of  a  promising  city,  we  deem  it  proper  to  re- 
reproduce  that  table,  and  thus  preserve  it  in  a  more  permanent 
form :

The  same  authority,  commenting  upon  the  above  tabular  re- 
view, states  that  "  Xo  reference  lias  been  had  to  Broadway 
property.  It  is  rarely  offered  for  sale,  and  but  few  transfers 
have  been  made  during  the  last  year,  most  of  these  including 
improvements,  rendering  it  diflTicult  in  many  cases  to  arrive  at 
an  accurate  valuation  of  the  land.  We  consider  $175  to  $200 
per  front  foot  a  fair  quotation  for  ])roperty  on  the  west  side  of 
Broadway,  between  Fourteenth  street  and  the  railroad.  Upon 
the  east  side,  within  same  limits,  $150  ;  below  the  railroad,  $100 
to  $150  per  front  foot.  Sales  can  be  readily  effected  at  these 
fio;ures. 

"  From  reference  to  the  above  review,  several  things  are  ap- 
parent. First,  an  advance  in  the  value  of  property  in  Oakland 
and  vicinity  6f  nearly  200  per  cent,  in  two  years.  Second,  the 
improvements  alaeady  made,  as  well  as  the  regularity  of  tJiis 
advance,  are  evidence  of  its  legitimacy.  Sales  made  within  the 
last  month,  and  those  l>eing  daily  consummated,  with  the  as- 
surance we  now  have  of  other  and  extensive  improvements  to 
be  made  in  the  spring,  warrant  a  reasonable  exj)ectation  of  fur- 
ther advance." 

The  growth  of  Oakland  and  Alameda  and  the  adjacent  coun- 
try, in  population  and  wealth,  may  be  learned  i^i-om  the  follow- 
ing tables,  showing  the  receipts  of  the  two  Eailroad'  Companies

In  the  year  1858,  the  total  vote  of  Oakland  Township  was 
406  ;  at  the  late  Presidential  election  it  was  1,273. 

The  growth  of  the  city  has  been  to  the  north,  but  the  greater 
part  of  the  improvements  have  been  made  on  the  portion 
originally  covered  by  oaks,  the  light,  sandy  soil  being  pleasanter 
for  the  ordinary  purposes  of  a  dwelling  place,  and  by  many 
being  deemed  healthier.

EDUCATIONAL    INSTITUTIONS. 


For  years  past,  the  educational  institutions  located  in  this 
city  have  occupied  a  leading  position  in  California,  and  have 
been  attended  by  students  from  all  parts  of  the  Pacific  Coast, 
Mexico,  and  the  Sandwich  Islands.     We  append  a  few  of  the 


leading  facts  concerning  each. 


THE   COLLEGE    SCHOOL,    COLLEGE   OF    CALIFORNIA,   AND     UNIVEKSITY 

OF    CALIFORNIA. 


These  three  institutions  are  mentioned  in  connection  with 
each  other,  because  the  College  of  California  grew  from  the 
College  School,  and  the  State  University  is  the  full  develop- 
ment of  the  College  of  California.  Each  institution  marks  an 
era  in  the  progress  of  the  cause  of  education  in  the  State. 

A  correspondence  was  commenced  among  some  of  those  who 
subsequently  became  Trustees,  on  the  possibility  of  founding  a 
college  in  California,  as  early  as  the  year  1849.  Plans  were 
laid  at  that  time,  but  there  was  very  little  progress  until  the 
spring  of  1853.  At  that  time  the  Rev.  Henry  Durant  arrived, 
and  a  plan  for  opening  a  College  School  was  matured  at  a  meet- 
ing of  the  Presbytery  of  San  Francisco  and  Congregational  As- 
sociation of  California.  A  building  which  stood  on  the  north- 
east corner  of  Broadway  and  Fifth  streets  was  rented,  and 
school  was  opened  by  Mr.  Durant.  At  first  the  school  was  ex- 
ceedingly  small,  and   for   several  years  its  growth  was  slow.

OAKLAND    DIRECTORY,  99 

Among  tlie  half-dozen  scholars  in  attendance  was  the  writer  of 
these  pages.  Funds  were  raised  by  subscription,  and  the  four 
squares  now  occupied  by  the  College  and  College  School  were 
purchased.  At  this  early  day,  tlie  services  rendered  by  the  Rev. 
S.  B.  Bell,  the  Pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  were  of  in- 
calculable importanc,  and  but  for  him  Mr.  Durant  would  have 
been  unable  to  have  continued  in  -the  enterprise  upon  which  he 
had  embarked. 

The  College  of  California  was  incorporated  in  April,  1855. 
The  Trustees  entered  upon  their  work  with  much  energy,  and 
frequently  gave  from  their  private  funds  for  the  support  of  the 
institution.  In  1856,  the  Pev.  Horace  Bushnell  was  elected 
President.  While  having  the  matter  under  consideration,  he 
gave  a  large  portion  of  his  time  to  a  careful  examination  of  the 
country  around  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco,  and  the  site  finally 
chosen  was  in  accordance  with  his  preference.  It  may,  there- 
fore, be  stated  that  the  site  for  the  University  building,  at 
Berkeley,  is  the  best  that  can  be  found  anywhere  in  close  prox- 
imity to  San  Francisco,  for  the  opinion  of  such  a  man  as  Dr. 
Bushnell  is  of  more  value  than  that  of  any  number  of  com- 
missioners acting  under  the  authority  of  a  legislature,  and  ex- 
posed to  the  numberless  improper  influences  which  would  beset 
them. 

The  first  Freshman  Class  was  admitted  in  the  summer  of 
1800.  A  small  college  building  was  erected,  and  a  college 
faculty  had  been  chosen.  To  meet  the  increased  expenses  re- 
newed exertions  had  been  made  and  sufficient  funds  were  ob- 
tained. In  March,  1862,  the  Rev.  S.  II.  Willey  was  elected  Vice- 
President  of  the  College.  A  larger  building  was  erected,  and  a 
fund  was  raised  for  the  endowment  of  the  Presidency.  Efforts 
were  made  to  secure  the  services  of  some  suitable  person  from 
the  East,  to  act  as  President,  but  without  success,  and  until  the 
present  time,  Mr.  Willey,  as  Vice-President,  has  administered 
the  affairs  of  the  Collecre. 

The  first  class  admitted  graduated  in  June,  1864,  and  classes 
liave  graduated  in  course  every  year  since.

In  1865,  the  College  Faculty  invited  a  general  meeting  of  the 
College  Alumni  in  the  State,  to  be  held  in  connection  with  the 
commencement  occasion  of  that  year.  In  response  to  the  in- 
vitation, there  was  a  large  attendance  on  the  part  of  the  clas- 
sically educated  men  of  the  State,  and  the  meeting  was  so  agi"ee- 
able,  and  so  abounded  in  literary  festivities,  tliat  a  permanent 
association,  the  Associated  Alumni  of  the  Pacific  Coast,  was 
organized.  The  Alumni  have  since  held  their  annual  meetings 
with  regularity,  and  have  become  exceedingly  popular. 

The  College  Faculty  is  composed  as  follows  : 

Yice-President  (Acting  President,) 

Rev.  S.  H.  Willey. 

Professor  of  Mental  and  Moral  Science,  and  Greek, 

IIev.  IIenky  D leant. 

Professor  of  Latin, 

Kev.  Martin  Kellogg. 

Professor  of  Natural  Sciences, 

WiLLAKD  B.  KiSLXG. 

Professor  of  Belles  Letters, 

Pev.  I.  H.  Brayton. 

Tutor  in  German  and  Mathematics, 

Henry  Hillebrand. 

Tutor  in  French, 

Chas.  L.  Des  Pochers. 


The  next  commencement  of  the  College  will  probably  be  the 
last,  as  at  that  tims  the  Rage  its  of  the  University  will  be  ready 
to  assume  charge  of  it,  and  incorporate  it  into  a  department  of 
the  University,  as  provided  by  law.  The  College  Trustees,  in 
1867,  voted  unanimously,  that  if  the  State  would  undertake  the 
establishment  of  a  University  of  the  first  rank,  the  College  of 
California  would  turn  over  its  assets  to  the  newly  created  Uni- 
versity, and  surrender  its  corporate  existence  if  a  department  of 
Letters  should  be  created.  The  influence  of  the  Trustees  and  of 
their  friends  secured  the  passage  by  the  Legislature,  of  an  Act 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  101 


to  create  and  organize  the  University  of  California.  Tlie  mis- 
sion of  tlie  College  is  accomplished,  a  University  which  will 
be  complete  in  all  its  departments,  havingbeen  established. 


THE   COLLEGE   SCHOOL. 


As  Stated  above,  the  Rev.  Henry  Durant  was  Principal  of 
the  College  School  from  1853  to  1860.  From  1860  until  the 
present  time,  the  Rev.  I.  II.  Brayton  has  been  Principal  of  the 
School,  having  ;for  eight  years  enjoyed  the  assistance  of  F.  M. 
Campbell,  M.  A.,  in  conducting  the  School,  and  having  been  as- 
sisted during  the  last  year  by  the  Rev.  E.  G.  Beckwith. 

In  1865,  the  Trustees  of  the  College .  ceased  to  retain  pro- 
prietary control  of  the  College  School,  though  continuing  to  ex- 
ercise supervisory  oversight,  and  stipulating  that  the  original 
purposes  in  its  establishment  should  be  adhered  to. 

The  Institution  employs  fifteen  Professors  and  Teachers,  and 
has  an  attendance  of  about  250  pupils.  It  is  acknowledged  the 
largest  Institution  of  its  class  upon  this  coast.  Its  extensive, 
improved  grounds,  and  numerous,  large  and  fine  Iniildings,  Avill 
amplj'  repay  a  visit. 

As  the  founders  of  the  College  School  had  in  mind  the  lead- 
ing purpose  of  establishing  a  college,  it  led  to  a  complete  orga- 
ization  and  a  fuller  provision  than  is  customary  in  academies 
where  colleges  are  already  in  existence.  Hence  the  College 
School,  as  now  distinct  from  the  College  of  California,  lias  Is 
ample  provisions  as  many  colleges.  Its  property  is  estimated  at 
one  hundred  thousand  dollars.  There  are  three  well  organized 
Departments  ;  the  Classical  or  Preparatory,  the  Higher  English, 
and  the  Junior,  the  latter  being  divided  into  two  grades,  of 
which  the  lowest  is  intended  for  very  young  pupils,  who  are 
separated  from  the  older  students  both  in  the  school-rooms  and 
on  the  play  grounds.  The  buildings  are  spacious,  commodious, 
well  furnished,  and  comfortable.  Accommodations  are  pro- 
vided for  two  hundred  boarding  pupils.

FEMALE    COLLEGE   OF    THE    PACIFIC. 


This  institution  owes  its  existence  to  the  efforts  of  the  Rev. 
E.  B.  Walsworth,  whose  personal  exertions  first  secured  the 
means  of  establishing  it.  During  the  first  years  of  the  institu- 
tion, the  Rev.  S.  S.  Harmon  and  wife  had  the  immediate  con- 
trol, and  its  success  and  present  reputation  is  in  no  small  degree 
due  to  their  skill  as  teachers,  and  to  the  efiiciency  with  which 
they  performed  the  varied  duties  which  devolved  upon  them. 
In  April,  1864,  the  "  Pacific  Female  College  "  was  incorporated 
under  the  general  laws  of  the  State.  A  department  had  been 
opened  June  15th,  1863,  and  the  existence  of  the  College,  pro- 
perly dates  from  that  time.  The  first  Board  of  Trustees  con- 
sisted of  the  following  persons  : 

Louis  McLane,  J.  G.  Kellogg,  R.  B.  Woodward,  A.  H.  Hous- 
ton, S.  E.  Alden,  B.  C.  Horn,  Mark  Brumagim,  J.  P.  Robinson, 
E.  B.  Walsworth,  W.  R.  Garrison,  William  Xorris,  A.  B.  For- 
bes, Samuel  B.  McKee,  Geo.  W.  Mowe,  Hon.  F.  F.  Low,  R.  W. 
Kirkham,  C.  Palmer,  Erwin  Davis,  D.  D.  Colton,  M.  R. 
Roberts. 

The  College  has  steadily  grown  in  numbers  and  importance, 
and  several  classes  have  graduated,  having  completed  the  pre- 
scribed course  of  study.  There  is  now  an  attendance  slightly 
in  excess  of  one  hundred  scholars,  and  fourteen  teachers  are  en- 
gaged at  the  Institution.  The  Rev.  E.  B.  Walsworth  is  at  the 
head  of  the  Institution. 

By  the  terms  of  the  Charter  by  which  this  Institution  is 
ranked  among  the  Colleges  of  the  State,  it  possesses  the  full 
right  of  conferring  all  the  customary  degrees,  both  Academic 
and  Honorary,     The  degrees  conferred  are  : 

A.  E. — The  degree  of  "  Artium  Excelsior"  will  be  conferred 
on  those  members  of  the  Institution  who  have  completed  the 
regular  course. 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  103 

S.  B. — The  student  wlio  lias  satisfactorily  pursued  all  the  pre- 
scribed course,  except  the  Ancient  and  Modern  Languages,  and 
whose  correct  deportment  is  certified  to  by  the  Faculty,  shall  be 
entitled  to  the  degree  of  "  Baccalaureate  ot  Science." 

All  successful  candidates  for  either  of  the  above  degrees  will 
receive  a  diploma  of  the  same  grade,  with  that  which  confers  a 
a  like  dej^ree  in  other  Colleges. 

Oakland  Seminary, — This  Institution  was  commenced  in 
the  City  of  Oakland  on  the  8th  of  November,  1858,  by  Mrs.  G. 
M .  Blake,  its  present  Principal .  Mrs.  Blake  on  that  day  com- 
menced in  a  private  parlor  on  Broadway  and  Sixth  streets,  with 
a  class  of  four  'young  ladies.  On  the  1st  day  of  April,  1859, 
the  school  was  so  much  increased  as  to  requise  a  larger  room  and 
was  removed  to  the  corner  of  Broadway  and  Eighth  streets,  now 
occupied  by  a  building  owned  by  Dr.  Sanford.  On  the  1st  day 
of  March,  1860,  it  was  again  removed  to  the  corner  of  Fifth  and 
Jackson  streets,  to  the  house  of  J.  Rosss  Browne,  where  it  re- 
mained nearly  four  years .  A  new  building  was  commenced  in 
June,  1863,  and  completed  on  the  2-lth  day  of  October  of  the 
same  year,  at  which  time  the  school  was  again  removed  to  the 
spot  where  it  now  stands,  and  was  there  permanently  established. 
There  are  three  separate  departments  in  the  school — Collegiate, 
Intermediate  and  Primary.  The  School  affords  the  advantages 
of  a  thorough  English  course,  the  ancient  and  modern  languages, 
music  (vocal  and  instrumental),  and  all  the  ornamental  branches. 
Connected  with  the  School,  is  a  Board  of  visitoi-s,  composed  of 
the  following:  srentlemen  :

1867,  and  contains  38  members.     The  officers  are  as  follows  : 

D.  Vogt,  O.  C. ;  A.  Koob,  W.  C. ;  A.  Eisenbach,  Secretary  ;

Industrial  Extsrprises — Busin*ess. — Within  the  limits  of 
Oakland,  Alameda  and  Brooklyn  Townships,  there  are  three 
grist  mills,  two  railroad  machine  shops,  one  pottery,  two  tanner- 
ies, three  planing  mills,  and  one  cotton  factory. 

The  Oakland  Cotton  Mills  are  reararded  as  one  of  the  leadincr 
enterprises  in  the  State.  The  company  was  incorporated  August 
25th,  18G5,  with  a  capital  stock  of  $100,000.  The  officers  were 
as  follows :  President,  Wm.  II.  Rector ;  Secretary,  L.  J,  Rec- 
tor ;  Trustees,  Volney  Rector,  B.  F.  Rector,  and  L.  J.  Rector. 
January  1st,  18G8,  the  capital  stock  was  increased  to  $200,000, 
and  the  company  nuule  arrangements  for  the  manufacture  of  flax 
and  jute  into  grain  bags.     The  machinery  for  this  purpose  will

OAKLAND    DIRECTORY. 


be  in  operation  by  March  1st,  of  the  current  year  (1869).     The 
present  officers  of  the  company  now  are  as  follows : 

President,  Leopold  Cohn  ;  Secretary,  L.  J.  Eector  ;  Trustees, 
F.  P.  Salomen,  B.  F.  Rector,  Leojjold  Cohn. 

There  are  forty  persons  employed  at  the  mills,  most  of  them 
being  females,  and  1300  yards  of  shirting  are  manufactured  daily. 
In  the  way  of  this,  as  in  every  other  similar  enterprise,  there  have 
been  numerous  obstacles,  but  most  of  them  are  overcome  and  suc- 
cess seems  assured. 

The  San  Antonio  Tannery  was  established  in  1865,  by  "Wilcox 
&  Pohrs,  the  present  owners.  The  business  of  the  tannery 
amounts  to  about  S2,000  per  month,  this  being  the  value  of  the 
leather  disposed  of.  The  market  for  California  leather,  until  a 
comparatively  late  date,  has  not  been  inviting.  The  merits  of 
the  leather  tanned  in  this  State  have  at  last  become  known,  and 
the  people  will  not  much  longer  be  obliged  to  send  to  the  East 
hides  raised  in  California,  and  receive  them  back  in  the  form  of 
leather,  thus  utterly  losing  the  amount  paid  as  freight. 

AVithin  the  past  few  months  Wm.  AVatts  has  started  a  tan- 
nery on  the  borders  of  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco,  about  one  and 
a  half  miles  from  the  limits  of  this  city.  The  tannery  is  of  large 
capacity,  but  the  enterj)rise  being  in  its  infancy,  the  present 
amount  of  business  would  not  be  a  fair  criterion  by  which  to 
judge  of  the  business  it  will  transact. 

The  Oakland  Flouring  Mills  were  built  by  Blanchard  &  Plum- 
mer,  in  1861.  The  present  owners  are  Pendleton  &  Co.  The 
mill  are  located  at  the  junction  of  the  Telegraj)h  and  San  Pablo 
roads,  in  this  city.  They  contain  three  run  of  stones,  and  if 
worked  to  their  fullest  capacity  312  barrels  of  flour  could  be 
manufactured  each  21:  hours.  The  mills  are  in  operation  the 
greater  part  of  the  year,  and  the  business  appears  to  be  in  a  con- 
dition highly  satisfactory. 

The  Venus  Mills,  located  on  3d  street,  between  Broadway 
and  Washington,  were  established  in  November,  1867,  by  "W.

OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  Ill 

Starr,  and  are  at  present  owned  by  Starr  tfe  Miles.  The  mills 
contain  two  run  of  stones,  and  can  produce  100  barrels  of  flour 
in  24  working  hours. 

The  Clinton  Mills,  located  in  the  town  of  Clinton,  were  the 
first  established  in  the  northern  portion  of  the  county,  and  their 
present  capacity  is  greater  than  that  of  any  other  similar  estab- 
lishwent  in  the  county. 

The  Pioneer  Planing  Mills  were  established  by  D.  G.  Barnes, 
in  the  spring  of  year  1865,  and  at  that  time  afforded  employ- 
ment to  four  men.  The  mills  are  now  owned  by  Blethen  & 
Terry,  Thirty  men  are  constantly  engaged  there,  and  imtil  a 
very  recent  date,  all  the  mill  work  required  in  the  city  was  done 
at  the  Pioneer  Mills.  Within  the  past  few  months  an  extensive 
addition  has  been  made,  and  the  capacity  of  the  mills  further 
increased. 

The  Oakland  Planing  Mills  are  located  on  the  corner  of 
Washinffton  and  First  streets,  and  owned  bv  Burnham  Sz  Standi- 
ford.  These  mills  are  not  in  full  operation,  the  building  having 
lately  been  completed,  and  all  the  required  machinery  not  yet 
being  put  in  position.  The  building  is  one  of  the  most  substan- 
tial in  the  State,  and  all  improvements  connected  with  the  mills 
are  of  the  most  durable  nature. 

At  the  Oakland  Point,  Philips  &:  Tew  have,  during  the  past 
summer,  established  planing  mills  near  the  lumber  yard  of  P. 
S.  Page  ife  Co.,  and  are  doing  a  prosperous  business. 

Oakland  Bank  of  Savings. — This  is  the  first  regular  bank 
ever  established  in  Oakland.  Its  certificate  of  incorporation 
was  executed  August  13th,  1867,  and  signed  by  A.  C.  Henry, 
Ed.  M.  Hall,  Samuel  Merritt,  P.  S.  Wilcox,  AY.  W.  Crane,  Jr, 
and  Joseph  Becht.     The  ofticers  first  elected  were  as  follows : 

President,  A.  C.  Henry ;  Cashier,  E.  M.  Hall ;  Board  of  Di- 
rectors, E.  M.  Hall,  Samuel  Merritt,  A.  C,  Henry,  P.  S.  AVillcox, 
"NV.  W.  Crane,  Jr.  ;  Finance  Committee,  E.  M.  Hall,  A.  C.  Henr}-, 
P.  S.  AV^illcox  ;  Auditing  Conmiittee,  Samuel  Merritt,  Henry  C. 
Lee,  E.  C.  Sessions.

The  capital  stock  of  the  bank  is  $150,000,  divided  into  fifteen 
hundred  shares  of  one  hundred  dollars  each. 

Oakland  Gas-Light  Company. — The  Oakland  Gas-Light 
Company  was  incorporated  in  1866,  and  the  first  street  lamps  in 
the  city  were  lighted  in  January,  1867.  The  works  of  the  Com- 
pany are  located  on  the  corner  of  Washington  and  First  streets ; 
six  retorts  are  in  use,  eight  miles  of  pipe  are  laid  through  the 
various  streets  of  the  city,  and  additions  are  continuously  being 
made .  Eighty  street  lamps  are  in  use.  The  following  are  the 
oiRcers  of  the  Company  : 

President,  H .  H .  Haight ;  Vice-President,  Jos.  G.  Eastland ; 
Secretary,  Jas.  Freeborn  ;  Superintendent,  Van  Leer  Eastland . 

December  8th,  1865,  the  City  Council  passed  an  ordinance, 
granting  to  W ,  W .  Beggs,  J .  G .  Eastland  and  others,  the  right 
to  lay  down  pipes  and  erect  gas  works  in  the  city.  The  present 
Company  is  the  legal  successor  to  these  individuals,  and  exer- 
cises the  rights  and  privileges  originally  conveyed  to  them.  The 
contract  under  which  the  street  lamps  are  erected  and  main- 
tained was  ordered  by  the  Council,  July  13th,  1868,  It 
stipulates  that  for  the  period  of  ten  years,  from  July  1st,  1868, 
the  gas  lamps  to  be  used  in  the  streets  of  Oakland  shall  be 
erected  and  maintained  by  the  Oakland  Gas-Light  Company. 
For  the  first  five  years,  the  Company  shall  receive  22^  cts.  per 
night  per  lamp,  until  the  number  may  exceed  250,  when  the 
price  shall  be  20  cts.  per  night  for  each  lamp  used.  At  the  ex- 
piration of  five  years,  tlie  price  is  to  be  fixed  by  a  commission 
of  three  persons,  one  of  them  to  be  named  by  the  Company, 
one  by  the  City  Council,  and  the  third  to  be  elected  by  the  two 
thus  chosen.  The  amount  of  gas  consumed  is  not  large  for  a 
city  having  the  population  of  Oakland . 

The  Oakland  Hailkoad  Company. — The   certificate   of  in- 
corporation of  this  Company  was  filed  in  the  office  of  the  Sec- 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  113 

retary  of  State,  in  December,  1864.  As  set  forth  in  tlie  certi- 
ficate, the  object  of  tlie  Company  is  to  build  and  maintain  a 
horse-railroad  from  the  foot  of  Broadway,  in  this  city,  to  the 
University  grounds.  The  road  is  to  be  five  miles  in  length. 
The  capital  stock  of  the  Company  is  fixed  at  $50,000,  divided 
into  five  hundred  shares  of  $100  each.  The  aftairs  of  the  cor- 
poration are  managed  by  a  Board  of  seven  Directors.  The 
original  incorporators  were : 

F.  Delger,  E.  B.  Walsworth,  Israel  W,  Knox,  A,  Hersey, 
S.  E.  Alden,  I.  H.  Brayton,  F.  E.  Weston,  F.  K.  Shattuck, 
B.  F.  Ferris,  S.  H.  Willey,  Geo.  Goss,  Geo.  II.  Fogg. 

The  ofticers  of  the  Company  are  : 

President,  F.  E.  Weston;  Vice-President,  Joseph  Emery; 
Treasurer,  B.  F.  Ferris;  Secretary,  Geo .  II.  Fogg;  Directors, 
F.  E.  Weston,  A.J.  Gladding,  H.  Durant,  J.  Emery,  B.  F. 
Ferris,  Geo.  II.  Fogg,  andS.  E.  Alden. 

The  Company  obtained  its  franchise  from  the  Legislature, 
May  3d,  1860.  This  special  Act  granted  to  the  Company  the 
right  to  lay  a  track  from  Broadway  Wharf  to  the  University 
Grounds,  the  track  within  the  city  limits  to  be  a  double  one, 
should  the  Company  so  desire.  Along  the  Telegrajih  road, 
only  a  single  track  can  be  lajd .  The  fare  for  a  single  passenger 
is  not  to  exceed  ten  cents,  and  sixteen  tickets  must  be  sold  for 
one  dollar.  The  franchise  is  to  last  thirty  years.  At  the  ex- 
piration of  ten  years,  the  rates  of  fare  are  to  be  again  fixed  by 
the  Legislature.  The  speed  shall  not  exceed  eight  miles  an 
hour.  Long  after  the  passage  of  this  Act,  the  Company 
showed  scarcely  any  signs  of  vitality .  Application  was  made 
to  the  Legislature  of  1868,  and  the  time  for  com])leting  the  road 
was  extended,  so  that,  under  the  law,  one  track  must  be  laid 
within  the  limits  of  the  city  three  years  and  six  months  from 
the  date  of  the  passage  of  the  first  Act,  and  the  whole  road 
must  be  completed  within  five  years  from  that  time,  or  in  1871. 
Orders  have  been  sent  East  for  iron,  and  it  is  now  announced  as 


114  OAKLAND    DIKECTORY. 

tlie  policy  of  the  Company  to  carry  forward  its  work  with  energy 
and  vigor .  The  country  tlirough  which  it  is  to  pass  is  thickly 
settled .  There  are  numerous  homestead  tracts,  which  it  is  be- 
lieved would  be  speedily  improved  if  there  were  some  means  of 
cheap  and  pleasant  communication  with  the  city,  and  the  pro- 
spects of  the  Company  appear  to  be  excellent . 

OAKLAifD  Real  Estate  Associates. — This  bodv  was  incor- 
ported  December  17th,  1867,  with  a  capital  stock  of  $100,000. 
The  object  of  the  Corporation  is  to  purchase  and  sell  improved 
and  uni^nproved  real  estate .     The  officers  are  as  follows  : 

Henry  C .  Lee,  President ;  John  I .  Spear,  Jr . ,  Vice-Presi- 
dent ;  Wm .  K .  Flint,  Secretary ;  E .  C .  Sessions,  General 
Business  Agent. 

Directm's:  Henry  C.  Lee,  John  I.  Spear,  Jr.,  G.  W.  Armes,   ' 
W.    K.    Flint,   ^Y.    H.    Glascock,   E.    C.    Sessions,  C.    W. 
Kellogg . 

Offices,  Broadway,  Oakland,  and  507  California  street,  San 
Francisco . 

Newspapers. — In  the  City  of  Oakland  are  published  two 
daily  morning  papers,  the  Oakland  JS'ews  and  the  Oakland 
Transcnpt.  The  Oakland  News  was  started  by  its  present  pro- 
prietor, William  Gagan,  September  9th,  1863,  when  the  publi- 
cation of  a  small  weekly  sheet  was  commenced.  The  paper  has 
grown  with  the  place,  and  the  Oakland  JSfews  Printing  House 
is  an  establishment  of  considerable  extent  and  importance.  A 
steam-power  press  is  in  use,  and  about  twenty  men  are  employed 
in  the  various  departments.  The  business  is  growing  from 
jnonth  to  month,  and  the  circulation  of  the  paper,  already  large, 
is  rapidly  increasing.  The  Oakland  T/'ansc/'ij?t  was,  started  in 
April,  1868,  by  H.  Coffin,  as  an  evening  paper.  In  a  few 
months  the  paper  was  purchased  by  O.  P .  Truesdell,  and  has 
been  conducted  by  him  up  to  the  present  time.  Like  the  News, 
it  evidently  receives  it»  proper  proportion  of  the  patronage  of 


OAKLAND    DIRECTORY.  115 

the  people  of  Oakland.  In  years  past,  numerous  papers  have 
been  started  and  suspended  for  tlie  want  of  patronage.  Those 
now  publislied  are  apparently  permanent  and  estal)lished . 

Botanical  Gardens. — Oakland  not  only  takes  precedence  as 
the  seat  of  learning,  but  she  also  has  the  largest  Botanical  col- 
lection of  native  and  foreign  trees,  shrubs,  plants  and  bulbous 
roots  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  which  tlie  enterprise  of  one  of  our 
nurserymen  could  get  together  during  the  last  nine  years.  Here 
may  be  seen  the  conifera  of  our  State,  and  the  many  beautiful 
and  curious  plants  indigenous  to  California,  also,  an  extensive 
collection  of  Australian  and  New  Zealand  trees  and  shrubs, 
which  flower  during  our  winter,  and  almost  make  us  forget  the 
season.  Mexico,  Chili  and  Peru,  the  West  Indies  and  the 
world  in  general  lias  contributed  to  give  us  such  a  collection  of 
plants  as  is  seldom  seen  growing  together  outside  of  California, 
Visitors  from  other  States  will  here  have  an  opportunity  to  see 
our  trees  and  plants  without  going  all  over  the  Stale.  Belle  View 
Nursery  is  situated  on  the  Telegraph  road,  and  is  open  to  the 
public  free  of  charge,  and  where  Mr.  Nolan,  the  proprietor,  will 
always  be  pleased  to  give  any  information  he  may  possess  on  the 
subject.

CHURCHES.

First  Pkesbyterian  Chukch. — This  is  the  Pioneer  Church 
of  Oakland.  The  first  Poster,  the  Kev.  S.  B.  Bell,  commenced 
services  in  Oakland  early  in  1853  or  in  the  winter  of  1852,  the 
Public  School  House  being  used  as  a  place  of  worship.  The 
early  history  of  this  chiu'ch  is  exceedingly  interesting.  Its 
Pastor  and  the'few  members  had  many  and  severe  obstacles  to 
withstand.  The  building  now  used  was  erected  by  them,  on  the 
block  on  the  west  side  of  Harrison  Square.  Mr.  Bell  was  suc- 
ceeded in  the  ministry  by  the  Pev .  E.  B .  Walsworth,  and  Mr . 
"Walsworth  was  followed  by  the  Rev.  L .  Hamilton,  tlie  present 
pastor,  who  entered  upon  his  duties  in  December,  1865.  The 
congregation  now  own  a  splendid  building  lot  on  Fourteenth 
street,  adjacent  to  the  City  Hall  property,  as  well  as  the  property 
where  the  church  edifice  now  stands.  The  Board  of  Trustees 
consists  of  J.  J.  Gardener,  J .  Hutchinson,  W.  C.  Dodge,  E. 
C.   Sessions,  and  W.  H,  Miller. 

First  Congregational  Church. — The  First  Congregational

and  other  documents  made  to  secure  the  payment  of  Bonds,  Legacies,  Annuities,  and  for  other

The  Company  will  act  as  Receiver  in  cases  of  Litigation,  of  money  paid  into  Courts,  of  Assets

citizens  and  foreign  travelers  visiting  California  on  business,  or  for  pleasure,  are  invited  to  have 
their  letters  and  papers  addressed  to  the  care  of  the  Company,  and  can  use  its  office  for  their  business 
and  correspondence. 

Especial  attention  is  called  to  the  great  advantages  of  employing  this  Company  in  the  transaction 
of  such  business,  in  preference  to  individuals:  A  large  Guarantee  Capital,  with  over  Two  Hundred 
Stockholders;  its  operations  directed  and  controlled  by  a  responsible  Board  of  Trustees ;  a  Perpetual 
existence;  a  Permanent  and  Central  Office,  where  business  can  be  transacted  without  delay ;  faithful 
and  obliging  Officers  and  Employes,  who  will  promptly  attend  to  the  interests  of  all  customers  ; 
a  well-organized  system  of  Records  and  Accounts,  showing  every  transaction  with  the  Company; 
and  the  security  of  Fire  and  Burglar-proof  Vaults,  constructed  expressly  for  the  Safe-Deposit  business. 

These  features  are  strongly  urged  in  its  favor,  against,  on  the  other  hand — Individual  Respon- 
sibility; the  Uncertainty  of  Life;  the  Fluctuations  of  Business;  the  Changes  of  Residence;  the 
frequent  Unfaithfulness  and  Neglect  of  Agents ;  the  Inconvenience  to  Friends;  the  Loss  of  Time  in 
waiting  upon  private  parties ;  and  the  danger  of  loss  by  Fire  or  Theft  of  valuable  property  and 
papers. 

Courts,  Corporations,  Capitalists,  Public  Officers,  Business  Men,  Executors,  Administrators,  Treas- 
urers, Agents,  Travelers,  Strangers,  persons  unaccustomed  to  business,  and  others,  are  invited  to 
examine  the  organization  and  responsibility  of  this  Company,  and  avail  themselves  of  any  facilities 
it  m.iv  afford  for  their   business.

QAM^AEM    S0iaiSl    iSSOSl. 


This  School  has  been  established  about  fifteen  years.  Its  facilities  have  been 
greatly  increased  within  the  past  two  years.  New  buildings  and  enlargements  thus 
added  have  cost  not  less  than  forty  thousand  dollars.  The  schoolrooms  and  dor- 
mitories are  all  well  warmed  and  ventilated,  and  the  play-grounds  are  extensive 
and  attractive.  The  corps  of  teachers  is  large,  and  is  composed  wholly  of  men 
well  known  in  the  State  as  educators.  Students  from  abroad  board  in  the  Institu- 
tion with  the  Principals  and  Teachers,  and  receive  the  care,  and  are  subject  to  the 
regulations  requisite  for  health  and  comfort,  and  mental  and  moral  progress. 

It  is  the  aim  of  the  conductors  to  secure  to  those  committed  to  their  care  at  once 
a  safe  and  improving  home,  and  an  amply  provided  school ;  affording  them 
the  means  of  a  thorough,  comprehensive,  liberal  education  ;  preparing  them  well 
for  the  walks  of  business,  or  laying  a  good  foundation  for  professional  studies  ; 
training  them  to  habits  of  order,  energy  and  obedience,  and  helping  to  form  char- 
acters sincere,  manly,  and  unaffectedly  Christian.

BROOKLYN    TOWNSHIP. 


This  township  extends  from  the  Estuary  at  the  eastern  ex- 
tremity of  the  city  of  Oakland  to  the  San  Leandro  Creek ; 
bounded  on  the  south  by  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco.  There  are 
two  towns  recognized,  but  tliere  is  no  city  or  town  government. 
The  settlement  at  the  head  of  the  San  Antonio  Creek,  and  for 
many  years  known  as  San  Antonio,  is  probably  the  oldest  on  the 
creek.  Previous  to  the  occupation  of  the  country  by  the 
Americans,  the  small  slough  at  the  town  of  San  Antonio  was 
used  as  a  landing  place  by  dealers  in  hides  and  tallow.  The 
town  has  for  some  years  past  been  recognized  by  the  name  of 
Brooklyn.  The  pioneer  settler  is  Mr.  James  B.  Larue,  now  one 
of  the  leading  business  men  of  the  place.  The  Justice  of  the 
Peace  of  the  Township  is  the  Hon.  Asa  Walker,  who  was 
among  the  earliest  residents,  of  that  locality.  There  are  five  re- 
ligious orgunizations.  viz :  one  Presbyterian,  one  Catholic,  one 
Episcopal,  two  Baptist.  The  Rev.  George  Pierson  is  pastor  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church ;  Eev.  John  Francis,  of  one  of  the 
Baptist  Churches ;  the  Catholic  Church  is  supplied  from  the 
pastorate  at  Oakland,  and  the  Episcopal  services  are  conducted 
by  an  army  chaplain,  regularly  stationed  at  the  Presidio,  near 
San  Francisco. 

On  the  banks  of  the  Estuary  is  located  the  town  of  Clinton, 
which  dm'ing  the  past  two  years  has  grown  with  great  rapidity. 
It  consists  exclusively  of  dwelling  houses. 

In  the  Town  of  Brooklyn  there  is  an  excellent  Public  School^ 
the  Grammar  school  studies  receiving  the  proper  attention.  In 
these  two  towns  the  values  of  real  estate  have  increased  as 
rapidly  during  the  past  two  xenrs,  as  they  have  in  the  city  of 
Oakland,  and  should  the  prevailing  expectations  concerning  the 
future  of  this  city  be  realized,  these  towns  in  common  with 
Oakland,  would  form  one  continuous  and  united  city.  "Within 
the  legal  limits  of  the  township  are  one  flouring  mill,  one  pottery, 
one  brick  yard,  and  a  cotton  mill,  enterprises  that  have  else- 
where been  noticed.  The  total  number  of  votes  cast  in  the 
Township,  at  the  late  Presidential  election,  was  414.

THE  TOWN  OF  ALAMEDA. 


Alameda  Township  comprises  the  Encinel,  or  peninsula,  bound- 
ed on  the  north  by  the  San  Antonio  Creek,  on  the  west,  south 
and  east  by  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco.  Like  Oakland,  the  land 
is  covered  by  a  thick  growth  of  oaks,  and  the  soil  is  sandy.  In 
1854,  the  Legislature  passed  an  Act  to  incorporate  the  Town  o* 
Alameda,  but  no  to^  government  is  required,  and  none  is  now- 
maintained.  Alameda  contains  many  fine  private  residences,  but 
the  place  does  not  appear  to  have  kept  pace  with  the  growth  of 
Oakland  and  Brooklyn.  At  the  western  extremity  of  the  Encinel 
are  the  machine  shops  of  the  San  Francisco  and  Alameda  Eailroad 
Company,  which  are  extensive  and  complete.  This  railroad,  ex- 
tending to  Ilaywards,  transacts  a  great  amount  of  business,  and 
at  certain  seasons  of  the  year  the  immense  amount  of  grain  grown 
in  Alameda  County  is  transported  to  the  metropolis  by  this  route. 

The  private  Insane  Asylum  located  in  this  toNvn  is  the  only 
one  worthy  oi^Tiiention  in  the  State,  and  since  it  has  been  open- 
ed many  unfortunate  persons  have  been  sent  there  by  their  friends 
in  preference  to  the  State  institution. 

There  are  two  churches  in  the  town,  a  Presbyterian  and  a  Meth- 
odist. The  contemplated  improvements  of  the  Western  Pacific 
Railroad  Company,  to  be  located  at  the  western  part  of  the  town, 
will  build  it  into  a  city  but  slightly  inferior  to  Oakland^  its  infe- 
riority consisting  in  the  fact  that  there  is  back  of  the  place  no 
continuous  stretch  of  territory  as  there  is  adjacent  to  Oakland. 
At  the  late  Presidcntiel  election,  149  votes  were  cast  in  the  Town- 
ship. 

Appended  are  given  the  names  of  the  residents  of  the  town 
and  their  occupation.

These  long  established  Nurseries  are  constantly  adding  to 
their  large  and  varied  stock,  in  order  to  meet  the  largely 
increasing  demand  of  the  Pacific  Coast ;  also,  the  Islands  of 
the  Ocean,  as  well  as  the  great  countries  beyond. 

The  business  of  1868-'69  exceeding  that  of  any  former  year, 
the  Proprietor  has  planted,  this  season,  three  times  as  much  as 
ever  before,  and  on  new  gi'ound,  not  heretofore  used  for  grow- 
ing trees  ;  thereby  insuring  healthy  and  thrifty  trees,  and 
grown  without  irrigation. 

Parties  planting  in  different  sections  of  the  State,  can  be 
supplied,  by  applying  directly  to  the  Nurseries,  or  by  orders 
through  any  of  the  Seedsmen  in  San  Francisco. 

Especial  attention  given  to  Fruit  trees,  and  also  to  Shade 
trees  for  side  walks,  groves,  lawns,  parks,  etc.,  etc. 

Persons  desirous  of  visiting  the  Nurseries,  are  invited  to  do 
so  at  any  time  during  the  season  for  growing  or  selling.
