In the first months of the year the city issued permits totaling 5,063.08, down from the prior period by 1,651,637 dollars, reflecting a slower but steady growth pattern.

Equipment Upgrades For CHP Cars In San Leandro District
San Leandro district of the California Highway Patrol plans outside public address systems in patrol cars to improve driver communication. About 200 cars are equipped with 900 more units planned statewide, mainly along Interstate 80 and 5 between Sacramento and the Nevada line. The new system includes a distinct siren sound alongside the standard siren. Local building permits show higher totals for residential values while industrial permits declined due to tighter financing, with 1968 expected to bring further subdivision activity and a major street and park improvement bond. The plan includes shoreline park development and a silo-adjacent Memorial Park, plus paving projects converting E Street and Whipple Road. A move to end Union City’s Citizens Utilities Co. affiliation could prompt Alameda County Water District action next year, and a potential City Council reshaping may occur if incumbents face re-election in April.
