Repair Work on the Ola Slip at Alameda Point ! Being Rushed. Sl ek ALAMEDA, Nov. 22.—Commuters and habitual travelers on the local trains are adually becoming reconciled and accus- | tomed to the one-line service on the north side of this city. They have familiarized | themselves with the new schedule, and, as the trains to-day arrived and departed | pearer to the time table than yesterday, the inconvenience to passengers was con- siderably lessened. Already the storekeepers whose places of business are located near the stations ! | on the narrow-gauge line are feeling the | cffects of the diverting of travel to the troad-gauge. Their transient business has decreased noticeably and their regular patrons do not drop in as often as for- mcrly, because they have to walk. The through trains on the narrow-gauge road e runnng as usual. They make but one stop at Park-street station and carry ro local passengers. Nearly all of the commuters living east of Oak street Leandro Bay board and leave the broad-gauge trains at the Park-street | Gepot of that line. Work on the old slip at Alameda Point progressing rapidly and by to-mor- w it is expected that a ferryboat can v dock there and unload passengers. Sa lis | worked to advantage there was kept busy | 10-day. When the repairs and reinforcing of this slip are completed the force |mu(‘bamcs and machines will be trans { ferred to the west end of the mole to re- pair and repiace the south side of the new freight slip that was partially destroyed in the big fire. The actual operations of rebuilding the pier, depot and sheds consumed by the flames Wednesday night will commence as soon as the plans are ready and ma- terial secured. Teachers Elect Officers.
