Excerpt from Charter of the City of Berkeley: Prepared and Proposed by the Board of Freeholders, Elected November 21, 1908, in Pursuance of the Provisions of Section 8, Article XI of the Constitution of the State of California In the labor of compiling, annotating, and indexing the Charter of the City of Berkeley, a service rendered without cost to the city, and which required a month of unceasing effort, to the exclusion of important professional matters. I desire to express my most sincere and cordial thanks for the practical assistance and encouragement of a number of my friends in the Academic City, notably to Hon. Francis Ferrier, President of the Town Board of Trustees, to Professor William Carey Jones, whose History of the University of California is a most felicitous addenda to the present compilation, and whose account of the Charter is a valuable aid to students seeking knowledge upon city government, to Mr. Wells Drury, a well-known journalist of the Pacific Coast, for his excellent sketch entitled "Industrial Berkeley", to Mr. Clarence S. Merrill, Postmaster, whose statistical review of the growth and progress of the city is shown by the records of his office, to Mr. Warren Cheney, who contributed a historical sketch of the origin and early history, and to Mr. Charles Keeler for his "Picturesque Berkeley, " all of which have powerfully aided in making the present work a unique, instructive, and interesting departure from the usually dry and unentertaining publications of its kind. The proposed seal for the City of Berkeley is respectfully submitted to the criticism of my friends and the public as an attempt to incorporate the most suggestive design for this purpose with the ornamental and essential features of a practical seal.
