10 T HE SAN FRA NCISCO CALL, MO JUNE 5, 1899. HANDS OF BOODLERS ARE TIED AND THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE AN INNING VACATIONS FO An Unweicome Rest < for the Oity - Fathers. : It Will Force the Gas 3 Company to Come b to Terms. : A R TW THE SUPERVISORIAL SITUATION. AYOR PHELAN and the minority members of the Board of Supervisors have begun a campaign to force the gas com- pany to establish a rate of $1 35 a thousanc feet and to sac- rifice a material part of the money which the company claims from the city. Mazyor Phelan does not intend to call a meeting of the Supervisors until the gas company comes to terms. Under the law the Mayor need not call a meeting of the Supervisors until the first Monday in July. That interesting fact was established when the Market-street Railway Company was attempting to consum- mate its gigantic theft of streets and franchises. Mayor Phelan will now use his power to force the gas com- pany to terms and prevent the long litigation which inevitably must result from the present controversy. The Mayor and his mi- nority supporters understand perfectly that the menace of the rail- road has been destroyed. The gas company has fought, however, with as much bitterness and with something more of success than the Iroad. The Mayor and his ailies intend, therefore, to tuim their attention to this corporation. At a meeting held on Saturday these officials decided to make a definite offer of compromise to the gas company, which has a claim of $189,000 agsainst the city and demands a current rate cf $1 60 for gas. The Mayor and the minority Supervisors will insist that th= gas company scale $50,000 from its claim against the city and eccept a rate of $1 35 for all future demands, not only to the municipality, but to all private consumers If the corporation e it must sacrifice the $189,000 which it claims from the city and take its chances of victory in the contest which is now on. The Mayor seems to have the whip hand, as he need not call a meeting of the Board of Supervisors un- til after it is too late to pay the gas bills as provided by law.
