FOR CELEBRATION
Labor Day Parade Promises to
Surpass Efforts of For
mer Years
OAKLAND, Aug. 2.— Richard M.
Hamb, business agent of the building
trades council, has been elected grand
marshal of the Labor day parade,
\u25a0which will take place September 6. He
fwas nominated for that position by A.
M. Thompson, who is business agent
of- the central labor council. All the
unions of both organizations were pres
ent at the meeting at which Hamb
%ras chosen.
Indications are that the Labor day
parade of this year will far surpass
previous efforts. Great interest is be
ing displayed by all the unions. They
promise to send large delegations of
marchers and to furnish handsome
.floats. The committee in charge of
inuslc Is making special efforts to pro
vide good bands. Musicians from many
pities outside of Oakland- have been
secured. Many of the unions are al
ready planning their uniforms for the
decasion.
The committee on decoration has se
•'cured a promise from Mayor, Mott to
'decorate the city hall and to illumi-
Eate it for three days and nights. This
committee is also making efforts to
Induce the business houses of the city
to. decorate their places^ for the oc
casion.
. Special prizes will be awarded to the
unions making the best showing in the
j>arade. These prizes will be valuable
and have caused much rivalry among
the various unions. There will be a
prize for the union having the largest
attendance of members in line; another
.for the union making the finest appear
ance, and another for the one providing
the handsomest float. The latter will
be a cash prize, which will go to
defray the expenses of preparing the
float
It is expected that nearly 50 organ
izations will send members into the
\u25a0parade. After the parade the unions
of Oakland will join with those of San
Francisco in a picnic at Shell Mound
park.

Action Taken Adds to Road
Funds of County
; OAKLAND. Aug. 2. — Resolutions
\u25a0were passed by the board of super
visors today correcting errors made in
the auditor's office in computing* al
lotments of- funds to various road dis
tricts of the county. The corrections
extended to allotments made in De
cember of last year's, and March of
this 'year, and liberated funds which
had been tied up for -several months.
.• • The actions resulted^ in an increase
'pf $6,000 to the total available for roads
and necessitated an entire reapportion
•ment. The vote was taken after Dis
trict Attorney Donahue had questioned
the proposition at considerable length.
Chief Deputy Auditor H. M. Rogers
explained that by a clerical error an
assessment of $1,500,000 had been left
off the property owned by the Peo
ple's water company, which caused the
of road ta\es at $6,000
less than the correct figure. The total
n<?w on hand for road purposes is
$126,077.35.

Auditor Submits Estimate
Of City's Income Tnis Year
Ruthless SlasHing of Department Expenses Is
> Necessary to Secure This Rate r
OAKLAND, Aug. "2.— The auditor's ,
estimate for the fiscal year 1909-1910*
was filed with the city council tonight
by City Auditor and Assessor George E.
Gross. .'"With the compilation" went an
itemization of the funds set aside, for;
public improvements, which reach a
total of $382,690, or more than 26 per
cent of the total tax income, outside
of, that required for meeting bond pay
ments.
Gross estimates the income from . a
tentative tax ratf of $1.20 at $1,607,115,
of which only $137,190 will be diverted
for bond payments. ; This leaves, ac
cording to his compilation, $1,469,925
for betterments and maintenance. In
his communication to the council" he
explained that ruthless slashing of de
partmental estimates was necessary to
keep the probable tax rate at $1i,20.
His regulation of the finances of the
various funds is an advisory statement
for the guidance of the council, which
will take up the budget at. a special
meeting of ihe finance committee,- with
the other members of the city council
and the city auditor in consultation.
Provision of finances for the school
department must be considered at the
session, and either a revision' of the
auditor's estimate or an increase of the
$1.20 tax rate must.be effected to put
money in the treasury by which gram
mar schools 'can be Conducted in the
city.
Of primary importance, in the audi
tor's estimate, is his itemization of the
public betterments projected : during
this fiscal year. Some of the "improve-"''

lem In detective work -for Sheriff Bar
net and his staffs
The ; theft was reported today, but
had probably .been committed Satur
day . evening during the absence of
the family. •Circumstances surrounding
.the - robbery appeared to indicate 'that
some one who had privileged access to
the. house was the guilty party.- Deputy

theory; traced a maid servant, who
gave the name of Hopper, to Oakland.

was > Livingstone; r ." r{' :\u25a0>.'-
The woman appeared to have no
knowledge of the burglary, and before
being : informed, expressed her inten
tion of going' back, to work. Details
of her stateinVnt; convinced Moffltt that
she knew nothing about the affair. She
said she had used an assumed name
to 'conceal the fact of her divorce. ' The
investigation is being Tcarried out on
the original theory that it was, In po
lice parlance, an "inside job:"
General Dougherty reported that a
bracelet set with diamonds and rubies,
a two; inch {gold band -engraved with
the initials "R. C .;" a solitaire diamond
ring set with a stone weighing one and
a half karats, a ring s set with, three
