SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY
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.

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.
