The city of Oakland is disting-uished for its advantages, both as a prosperous business center, and as an inviting- place of residence.

Abroad, the city is best known, perhaps, for its assemblag^e of beautiful homes, but observers living- nearer its borders, as well as those living- within them, note unmistakable indications that it is destined to become an important commercial point.

To persons seeking- simply a desirable place of abode we cal I attention to Oakland’s location, on the east shore of the noble Bay of San Francisco, and in near proximity to the ocean: to the excellent condition of its broad streets, to its nianv miles of cement sidewalks, rendering- pedestrianism perfectly prac- ticable to almost any extent, in all directions, and in all states of the weather: to its miles of attractive residences, in which dwell citizens, kindly, moral, industrious, and enterprising: to its churches of all denominations, from the pulpits of which conscientious pastors dispense the gospel to their congrega- tions; to the city’s superior educational facilities, further men- tion of which will be made on page 6: to its delightful climatic conditions, to which special reference is made on pages 3 and 4; to the really beautiful scenery of its suburbs; to its extensive system of street railways, embracing cable, electric, and horse- car lines, pertaining- to which some details will be found on

page 6; to its system of steam ferries, giviiig its citizens half- hourly communication with San Francisco, ami thence bring- ing them by ferries, steam trains, or street railway lines, to some of the most charming towns and delightful resorts on the coasts, both north and south of the Golden Gat^, and, finally, to its railroad facilities, putting its inhabitants not only in daily connection with all parts of California, but affording them speedy transit to every State in the Union.

OAKLAND’S COMMERCIAL FUTURE.

The natural situation of Oakland is highly favorable to extensive commercial enterprises. The fact that business men have beei\ tardy in taking advantage of the remarkable facilities nature lias here provided fnr them, and in develop- ing the place into a rendezvous for the merchant ships of the world, is attributable only to themselves. Here, naturally, converge the great thoroughfares of both land and sea, and here exists water frontage adequate for the almost limitless trans- fer of traffic from railway to ship and from ship to railway, thus converting the city into a vast mart for cotninerce.

In this direction we confess to have made but slow progress. For over forty years the harbor front of Oakland has been

O A. K L A N O • • •

virtually barred against its citizens, owing to the luethod of control adopted by the Water Front Company, its assumed owners, and to the dilatoriness of the general government in improving the fine natural harbor to the extent of making it easily approachable by the largest ocean ships. For these reasons Oakland’s home trade, as well as its commerce, has been greatly restricted, and made to pay tribute to other cities.

Notwithstanding this serious drawback, the future of the city is bright with promise as to its facilities for conducting commerce with other parts of the world. Since 1874, when the United States Governuient began to improve Oakland harbor, the shipping trade of the place has constantly increased, by means of small craft chiefly. The statistics to be obtained on this subject are incomplete for all the years since the above date. Those reliable are given in the accompanying table.

The question of water front titles is now before the courts. , The harbor improvements require some fostering appropria-

tions and some additional work by the General Government in the line of dredging and deepening portions of the harbor. ready some of our citizens have begun to provide new docks, piers, sites for warehouses, etc. At the eastern part of th-:- city E. C. Sessions has reclaimed a large tract of low land fronting on the harbor, and has at great expense prepared i' for shipping and warehouse requirements.

Upon the completion of the docks now in process of con- struction by the Edsou Adams estate, Oakland will have the best shipping facilities of any town in the State. These dock-, comprise some fifty acres of land lying along the harbor fron' The dock line is about 1,800 feet long, and along this at h-w tide there will be a depth of twenty-tbree feet of water. Tb:-- will, for the first time in the history of Oakland, enable th', largest sea-going vessels, when loaded, to lie at dock without touching ground. On the land side the dock tract is skirted b\ railroads. This work will be completed early in 1894, when the docks will be open for business, and will afford excellent fn- cilities for all lines of shipping, especially those which require the bringing of ship and railway together. These docks have long been needed in Oakland, and when ready forbusiness will open new and profitable fields to our merchants.

Besides these, smaller docks and wharves have recently been constructed by John L- Davie, V. L. Fortin and other individ- uals, and with the title to the city’s water front lands finally adjudicated and the extension of its streets to deep water, other similar constructions are anticipated.

These expectations realized, the commerce of Oakland will have attained metropolitan facilities. The city will no longer be subsidiary to San Francisco, as it has been in the past.

MANUFACTURES.

Lack of space compels but brief reference to the manufac- turing enterprises of Oakland. There are about one hundred establishments of this class, large and small. 'With the in- creased facilities for shipping goods, and for receiving raw material, which we shall have when the harbor is perfected, and competing lines of railway here meet the ocean carriers, the factory interests of the city will greatly increase.

The variety of articles manufactured in Oakland is large, and their quality is e.xcellent. The products of its cotton mills find ready sale botli at home and in distant mark- ets, in competition with similar goods made elsewhere. The same may be said of the large amount of fruit packed in its canneries, and of the products of its pottery, tannery, flour, jute, and iron mills, the goods from which all rate high in Pacific Coast markets. The Jiidson Manufacturing Company does an extensive business in the manufacture of steel and iron build- ing materials, nails, tacks, etc.

Nearly one hundred million feet of lumber are consumed in the buildings erected annually in the city and its suburbs. This vast quantity is prepared for the purpose in local planing mills, of which there are some twenty-seven in the city, giving employment to from ten to eighty hands in each. This, in itself, is a large local industry, and is supple- mented by extensive sash and door works.

the coast. Tlie temperature is always bracing, varies little between summer and winter, and is never uncomfortably cold or disagreeably warm. In winter the ocean breezes are greatly modified by winds from olT the vast mid-oceau warm stream, south of us, and off that branch of it which flows southward along the entire length of our Pacific Coast, not far out to sea.

For several years a careful record of the climatic conditions of the place has been kept at the Chabot Observatory, located in the heart of the city. The record of one year is here ap- pended. It is a fair sample of other annual records, and shows that extremes of heat and cold are unknown in Oakland.

THE RAINFALL.

Largely conducing to the equable climate and consequent healthiness of Oakland is the rainfall, which has never failed, and has never deluged this favored city. The official record for twelve years past is here given, and bears unimpeachable witness to the unfailing rainfall at least nine months in every year. The numerous benefits derived from this source include far more than mere health. Flowers, fruits, and garden products are assured in abundance, the sewers are flushed, streets and gutters are cleansed, and the atmosphere is constantly refreshed by the plenteous rain. Frequently light showers fall early in September, though in some seasons not

until several weeks later. The heavier rains hold off until nearer mid-winter, but they, too. vary as to date. The so-called “rainy season” is a variable period, occurring at any tini'. during the winter months. As the entire city slopes graduall} to the bay, the streets are quickly dried after the heaviest showers.

It will readily be seen by reference to the following record of rainfall that the distribution of rain extends through u large portion of each year, fails entirely in no season, and seldom exceeds a moderate supply. Cyclones and tornadou- are unknown, snow seldom falls, and thunder storms are rare indeed.

LOW DEATH RATE.

In addition to the climatic conditions shown by the preceding- records. other elements contribute to the healthfulness of Oak- land, and diminish the death rate. The prevailing- breezes from the west sweep over the city, laden with ozone from the Pacific ocean, dispell all noxious gases, and give health and

strength to all forms of life. The Secratary of the Board of Health has carefully tabulated the mortality records for ten years past, and they are here given as conclusive evidence that Oakland is one of the healthiest residence cities in the the world. With all this evidence we believe tliis important point is substantiated: —

EDUCATIONAL.

Oakland has always maintained a hi^h standard of schools, both public and private. The latter comprise colleges, semi- naries. convents, parochial and preparatory schools, wherein at the present time 2,077 students are taught. In the public schools there are 8,285 students, for whose teaching 199 in- structors are engaged at salaries averaging $175 per month for men and $80 for women. Oakland pays its public school- teachers high salaries, and this, together with the desira- bility of the city as a place of residence, has availed to bring hither the best teaching talent in the United States.

The value of the public school property, other than buildings, is about $500,000. The present buildings, containing 195 class- rooms, cost as much more. The city is now engaged in con- structing a new High School building of brick, stone and iron, having twenty-four rooms, at a cost of $165,000 and four other buildings, having in all a capacity of sixty classrooms.at a cost of $400,000. Thepublic school edificesof the city, at the closeof the present year, will compare favorably with those of other cities anywhere, and will accommodate 12,000 .students. The new buildings now being erected are on plans according to best modern improvements, especial attention being given to light, heating, ventilation, etc. Nearly all the school yards are bituminized, and the public school grounds are the best sewered of any in the city.

The citizens of Oakland take a just pride in maintaining the efficiency of their public schools, and the Board of Educa- tion is composed of gentlemen, earnest, careful, and devoted to their duties.

OAKLAND’S RAILWAY FACILITIES.

During the last six years, Oakland has surpassed all otlu. Pacific Coast cities in the extension and multiplication of street railway facilities.

In the matter of electric and cable street railways espe^ cially, great improvement has taken place. Upwar s o 37,000,000 have been invested in franchises, rights of way, an the building and equipment of this class of roads. At t present time the city and suburban roads afford cheap a rapid intercourse between the business part of town an-, the surrounding country. The operating of the roads ex- tending into the suburbs has also brought within quick communication many desirable tracts of land whereon ha.ui- some residences are constantly in process of building, thusserc ing to increase materially the taxable property of the city, also its population. All portions of the State may be reac by trains from Oakland. The competitive lines now operat- ing between this city and San Francisco are fast reducing le rates, of both passenger and freight traffic. Another coin peting line between the two cities is promised, in the near fu me In the equipment of the street railway systems, modern improvements and latest inventions have ec ^ adopted. The cars are models of comfort and elegance, i he road beds are carefully constructed, and the rails are laid m an enduring manner. For five cents a passenger may n many miles through beautiful streets and lovely subur ai localities, by the system of transfers from one roa ^

another. These various railways afford employment to a arge

PROPERTY VALUES AND TAXATION.

The assessment rolls of the City Assessor show a gradual but gratifying^ increase from j'ear to year in the value of Oak- land real estate. The following are the official figures, tak- en from the Auditor’s books and represent on an average about sixty-five per cent of the actual cash values: —

By charter provision the limit of taxation is fixed at one dol- lar on the hundred, other than for payment of bonds.

The bonded indebtedness of the city is comparatively small, amounting to S700.000, of which S400.000, bearing 5 per cent, is for school buildings now in process of construction. Five per cent of these bonds mature each year for twenty years. Alto- gether the city’s financial affairs are in excellent condition.

MATERIAL DEVELOPHENT.

In the foregoing pages we have shown that Oakland has made steady progress in port traffic, in taxable property, in educational facilities, in local railway and other enterprises. Thus far the city has been overtaken by no period of financial disaster, consequently its growth has been steady, inspiring a feeling of confidence in men seeking a place wherein to invest capital. The citizens have an abiding faith in its continual ad-

vancement, and after becoming a resident of the place one readily accepts their opinion on this point. The population within the present city boundaries slightly exceeds 00,000. It is increasing, in a moderate, healthy way, which has about it no inflated “boom” features. The splendid street rail- way facilities have brought all parts of the city and suburbs within easy reach of each other, and the consequences are that hitherto remote localities have become desirable to home-seekers. The Fruitvale, Twenty-third Avenue, and Highland Park districts, in the eastern section of the city, have quadrupled their population within the past two or three years. So of the Heights back of what was formerly Brook- lyn. or East Oakland. Hundreds of handsome homes m»w adorn the once lonely landscape. The recently annexed Pied- mont district contains one of the most attractive residence lo- calities of Oakland— the Linda Vista Terrace— a beautiful pla- teau on the line of the Piedmont cable road, about ten min- utes’ ride from the center of town. F rom this terrace may be had a sweeping view of land, lake, bay and sea, and the neigh- borhood is rapidly building up with pleasant homes.

The record of these material developments might he multi- plied, but it is sufficient to say. in conclusion, that all of Oak- land’s territory is bound to be occupied by homes, business houses and other structures devoted to trade, commerce, edu- cation and the various requirements of society. Then, its surrounding suburbs— many of them already thriving towns and hamlets-must come knocking at its gates, for participa- tion in the grandeur and prosperity of the future consoli- dated City and County of Oakland.

While Oakland's mercantile district is not extensive, com- pared with that of some other cities, and its importance is no so irreat as it would have been had its distance from San Francisco been greater, and had its harbor been improved as it should have been, it nevertheless has some features worthy of mention. For many years, Broadway, a magnificent street extending from the harbor line on the south to the foothills on the north, a distance of about four miles, has been the main business artery of the city. Business houses have grown up along the thoroughfare until now some thirty blocks are quite solid. The parallel streets both on the east and west are fast yielding to business demands. At the present time business is tranacted chiefly on the three avenues-Broad- way. Washington and Franklin-and intersecting cross streets.

A noticeable feature of the mercantile district, which may be said to occupy the areabctween Seventh. Fourteenth.Washing- ton and Franklin Streets, is, that the streets are broad, well lighted, well paved, mostly bituminized, and are kept scrupu- lously clean. Two or three times each week the municipal sweepers remove all accumulations therefrom, and when the elements fail to lay the dust the city water carts accomplish the work. There are no foul alleyways, no filthy gutters, no ill- smelling, disagreeable localities in this part of the city. Mer- chants and tradesmen generally take pride in this air of cleanliness, and the stranger out on a shopping trip is at once struck with the healthful, pleasant environment. Broad side- walks, generally of stone or cement, afford ample room for pedestrians and for the delivery of goods.

Another feature of business life in Oakland is that f ^ ures occur. It is several yearssince a house of any was forced to close its doors. The banks and other mercantile Imuses are generally known to be solid. They en^oy the fidence of the community, and each year show a balance
