THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1896. 9 FIGRTING HARD FOR A FRANCHISE The Points Gained by the Geary-Street Rail- way. MINORITY RESISTANCE. Majority of Supervisors Vote for the Fifty Years’ Grant, SPEECHES AND PROTESTS. Battle to Be Renewed To-Day—Muni- cipal Building Plans—Bou'evard Traffic. (reary-street Railway franchise was the toric of discussion by the Board of Sup- ervisors yesterday afternoon, and insinua- tions were thrown out richt and left. The existing franchise of the company | will not expire for seven years, but as great changes have been projected, with a view of providing an electric system of a | permanent character, extending facilities | to meet the public requirements of a large and rapidly developing region of the Cit the managers of the corporation asked that the sale of the franchise for fifty be advertised. sition encountered violent op- position, and quite 2 number of petitions have been filed in the office of the Board of Supervisors against granting the com- pany’s request. Supervisor Dimond has been lead ing the | opposition to the sale of the franchise, holding that the privilege, which would now go for $5000, would be worth $50,000 when the present franchise expires, pervisor Spreckelsis in favor of giving | the company the right to bid for the fran- | chise now, in view of the fact that it is the purpose of the directors of the corporation 1o invest a large sum of money to build, equip and operate an electric railway system., He holds that men who are willing to invest tueir capital to promote | the development of the City and provide | for the people the best of modern facilities for rapid transit should be protected in their investments. Herman de Laguna has sent a commu- nication to the board, stating that the corporate life of the applicant corporation ceases earlier than fifty years hence. | Therefore, he holds that the corporation | should file with its written acceptance of a new franchise a written abandonment the old. He contends that the Board of Supervisors has no power to grant a vested interest in the street for a time lo r than the life of the grantee corpora- tion. Whepn the order granting the franchise | came up Supervisor Dimond moved its indefinite posiponement. Supervisor Spreckels moved that the order be laid over one week. The motion to defer action one week was lost. The motion to postpone indefinitely was lost by the fellowing vote: - Noes—King, iy, Benjamin, Hughes, Dunker, Mor- ;irecxsls, Wagner—8. irsch, Dimond, of Taylor, Hobbs—4. Supervisor Hughes moved to advertise | for bids for the sale of the franchise. Supervisor Dimond said:" *“I hope the board will not do this 1n opposition to the will of the peopie. Whai right have we to dispose of a franchise seven years be- fore it expires? Seven years hence this iranchise ought to be worth $50,000." The | Bupervisor mentioned the receipt of a| letter from the Geary-street Company which he had received on coming into the board yesterday. He presumed other members had received a hke letter. Ref- erence was made in the speech to one of the provisions of the letter relating to | payment of 2 per cent on gross earnings. | Supervisor Spreckels replied to Mr. | Dimond, saying: “The object of the com- | pany in seeking to obtain the franchise is | 1o protect the investment of capital in the | improvemenr of the road. A large outlay | for a permanent plant and the equipment | throughout of an electric railroad is con- templated. Capital will not invest in en- terpnises of public improvement unless there is some guarantee of protection. The Supervisor from the Fifth misleads | you in his statement as {0 what the com- | munication from the applicant for the fran- | chise contains. I now ask the clerk ‘to read the entire letter.” ! John A. Russell, clerk of the board, then | read the communication addressed to Mr. Spreckels. Each Supervisor received a‘ similar communication. Following is a| copy | 8ax FraNcisco, June 29, 1896, Dear Sir: Some objections have been raised by newspapers, improvement clubs and ind viduals to the new iranchise for which appli- | cation has been made to the Board of Super- | visors of the City and County of San Francisco | by the Geary-street, Park and Ocean Hailroad | Company. | The Sireet Committee of that board, after careful consideration, bave recommended that the same be granted, but have inserted therein | & clause to the effect that 2 per centof the | gross receipts of the line shail be paid iuto the | City treasury by the grantee. Thisis a heavy | tax.upon the operations of the road,and, if | travel thereon should increase according to | our expectations, will form s large and con- | tinuous nddition to the financial resources of | the City, and of itself be a full equivalent for i the privileges granted. | To enable the company, however, to do & business which will yield it a reasonable | profit, or even cover its expenses, after pay- | ment of such a percentage, it is manifest that | the road and equipment must be of a character | that can successfully compete with the high | class roads in the vicinity, in order that a fair share of travel can be induced thereon. The present cable road, cars.and equipment, are 0ld and unsuited to modern requirements, and the public naturally patronize other lines where they can obiain superior accommoda- tions at the same rate. The directors of the Geary-street, Park snd Ocean Raflroad Com- pany have, for some time past, seen the neces- sity for & reconstruction and a re-equipment of theé road €0 88 10 bring it up to the desired standerd, but the vast expenditures which would thereby be entailed are uoi regarded as prudent ~in consideration of the | short time the present frauchise ha: vet to run, They have, therefore, appifed ¥our honorable board for & new iranchise, which, if finally granted to this company, will run for s sufficient length of time tw justify | such an outlay. Should the company secure | said franchise it is the intention ofits direc- tors to convert the present road into a first- class electric rona, with all the most approved equipments and devices, so that it will receive the tull shore of travel to which its location entitles it. Ifthisis done both the City and company will be beuefited, the former by the receipt of & large percentage on the gross receipts oi a great and prosperous road and the latter by the increased business which will | assuredly follow its reconsiruction. Were it not for the Jatter considerations the onerous conditions presented by the Street Committee could not be accepted, but with such increase of business the company feels that it will be able to shoulder the udditional Dburden thus placed upon it. It may further be suggested that this per- centage will be payable for several years be- fore the City could enforce such a requirement in any franchisc to be granted at the expira- tion of the term of the present franchise of said company, and thus ali percentages prior 10 1903 will be clear gain to the City. The compsny feels assured tnat when the merits of 1ts application are deliberately con- | sidered by you it will be apparent that no un- due privileges are being sought from the City, nor can auy detriment ensue to it from the grant of the franchise applied for; on the con- irary, as 1 have shown, the interests of the City, the public and the company will alike be subservea and cnlarged. We therefore submit the matter to your mk | chise had yet to run. | adjourn, without designating any time. | pose to consider?” | consider, | and the car-fender orders. | adjourned to meet at 9 o'clock this morn- | street railway companies of the morning | tion sets forth that the company seeking | | ferred. | chants and business men of the City are | one change, therefore, nad been made— | under the guise of peddlers thieves and burg- cretion with full confidence that you will act in accordance with the true interests of the people and the municipality regardless of any unfounded objections that may be made through ignorance of the facts and cireum- stances surrounding the application or that | may emanate from the malice or prejudice of the professed enemies of ali the quasi-public institutions of this City. Very respectfully yours, J. L. WILLCUTT, Secretary and General Manager. Supervisor Dimond disclaimed any in- tention of misleading the board in quoting from the letter. Supervisor Hughes maintained that the City would get 2 per cent of the gross earn- ings for the seven years which the fran- The idea of any other company paying $50,000 for the franchise was absurd and the talk was buncom be. 2 Bupervisor Dimond contended that capi- tal was barred out of investment by the terms prescribed. He said there was a slrong gmbab ty that a new charter woull e adopted before the existing franchise expired. 2 On the motion to grant the franchise the vote stood: . Ayes—King, Scully, Benjamin, Dimond, | Hughes, Dunker, Morganstern, Spreckels, Wagner—9. Noes—Hirsch, Taylor, Hobbs—8. Supervisor Dimond' gave notice that he would move for a_reconsideration at the | next regular meeting. 2 After the result was announced Mr. Di- | mond in quiet glee imparted to his friends | that his tactics in casting an affirmative | vote and deferring final passage of the| order for one week had killed the scheme, as the general law forbids the grant of a franchise within ninety days before a gen- eral election or seventy days after. He figured that postponement for one week would bring the final action within ninety | days of November 3, and thus render the rant void. Later in the session Mr. Dimond’s joy | was turned to indignation, for Superyisor King moved to adjourn until to-nigut. Mr. Dimond made a simple motion to The motion was put and lost. Mr, Hughes was willing to adjourn until 2:30 this afternoon, as some of the mem- bers could not be present in the evening. Supervisor Dimond, with a great deal of warmth, inquired the reasons for another session so soon. ‘“Why violate the un- written rule of the board? What iz com- ing up? Why are advocates of this early meeting ashamed to say wghat they pro- Supervisor Hobbs aeclared that there a nigger in the woodpile. He said: bey don’t dare to say what is coming up, but I know what it is.”’ Supervisor Wagner remarked that there was a great deal of unfinished business to He cited the nickel-in-the-slot The Supervisors after further discussion ing. Orders were given to notify John I. Sabin of the telephone company and the session to-day. General Robert A.

Conroy to grade. petition says: “Some of the leading mer- among our members, ana they will guar- antee that everything in connection with the contests will be conducted in a respect- | able manner.” Referred to the License Committee. Tue report of the Municipal Buildings | Committee, as published in THE CaLy, evoked some discussion. The report di- rects Architect Shea to change the plans for the new municipal building se that the drillroom will be in the basement and the kitchen on the top floor. A discussion arose as to whether the right to make alterations had been re- | served. | Supervisor Taylor (chairman) spoke of | the necessity of having an entrance from Merchant street leading to the main floor. | Mr. Benjamin was opposed to any fur- ther delay or reference to the Committee of the Whole. Mr, Spreckels understood that two plans were submitted by the architect. Only that of placing the drillroom in the base- ment. Mr. Taylor insisted that a Merchant- street entrance was important. The en- trance from that street now provided in | the plans only led to the basement. | The report was adopted without an or- der for any change in the plans for the Merchant-street entrance. Some of the Supervisors did not seem to understand what the chairman meant in saying that the Merchant-street passageway led only to the basement. Supervisor Taylor introduced this reso- lution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the citizens are resvectfully requested to hoist our National emblem on 9, 1896, the same being the fiftieth anni- g of the flag of the Uni tes in this City, and if practicable our citizens are respectiully requested to close their respective places of businesson the after- noon of said day in commemoration of this event. Supervisor Taylor announced in a speech supporting the resolution that Captain Montgomery of the ship Portsmouth took possession of San Francisco for the United States fifty yesrs ago. The order to allow boxing, which passed the board some time ago and was vetoed by the Mayor, came up for passage over the veto. The veto was sustained. | An order was introduced by Supervisor | Dimond and passed to print, providing regulations to be observed by peddlers of goods, merchandise and produce in the public streets. The order is thus pre- ambled: WHEREAS, Some of the persons obtaining licences annoy and harass our citizens by per- sistently ringing the bells and knocking at the doors of residences whereon notices are placed that no peddlers are desired; and whereas, lars adopt the ‘same tacties and by that means ascertain the residences from which the occu- pants are temporarily absent, thus enabling thom to commit crimes. Section 1 provides that it shall be unlawful for u licensed peddler to ring the bells or knock at the door of any residence whereon the sign “No Peddlers” is displayed. Other sections provide how licenses to peddlers shall be issued. The Auditor is to provide the License Collector with num- bered badges, and the latter, in addition to the license, is to charge each peddier 25 cents for the badge. The peddler is not allowed to lend or give this badge to any other person. Any peddler who bangs the door or rings the bell where the sign “‘No Peddlers'’’ is displayed may be deemed | guilty of a misdemeanor and fined $100: The order which the Merchants’ Associa- tion claim wil! allow the renewal of street work by private contracts was passed, de- spite tne protest of the engineer of the as- sociation. That portion of the Street Committee's report in favor of allowing traffic_on Golden Gate boulevard east of Van Ness avenue was eliminated from the document and laid over for one week. The senti- ment in favor of maintaining one boule- vard to the park 1s said to be very active. The streets will be lighted next Wednes- day evening. oo oan s STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
