The first was for a line running south from the Berkeley town line on College avenue and Broad- | way, connecting at Fortieth street with | the ferry system tracks. The second | and third franchises combine to form 2 new connection in the East Oakland m. These start from First avenue and East Twelfth street, running northeasterly to Third avenue and East Eighteenth street, thence -to Fourth avenue and East Eighteenth street, out Fourth avenue to Newton avenue and there connecting with the old Trestle oad. This new connection would form a link in the beit line of the Tran- sit Company to connect East Oakland by way of Piedmont with the new ferry system line, which is designed to be operated through Fortieth street and eastward into the Piedmont district. ENGS GIVEN TIME. Oakland Transit Company's bid of $1500 was opened and read by the | clerk, and President Dornin,as required by law, asked if there was any one ¥ ent who. would raise the bid 10 per sy cent. Then the battle began. Attorney George M. Shaw, sitting next to Mac- e4 Donald, rose and said: ] “On behalf of J. H. MacDonald, I ‘ raise the Oakland Transit Consoli- FEW-"MAKE PROTESTS | dated’s bid to $2000.” Shaw deposited AGAINST BOULEVARD | tWwo certified checks for $500 each with the C Clerk, covering at least 10 No Serious Difficulties Thrown in the | PeT cent of the amount of the bid, and Way of Proposed Scenic indicating that he was prepared to go B i eruting | to $10,000, anyway. Attorney Edward . W. Engs, representing the Transit M The matter | Company, said: sts inst the view- “This opposition to our bid is unex- gard to the proposed | pected, and I would ask the Council | be built by Ala-|for a brief continuance until I can find | to extend om | out how far our people are willing to g0’ | He was given a bhalf hour. During | that time Engs was busy conferring by telephone with the Transit Company officials and was making a hurried canyass for money. From every possi- ble available source his friends raised | coin, that he might be able to continue the fight. Engs reopened the contest with a raise to $3000. it up $100 “he chipped to $4500. MacDonald came | back with $3000. Another $500-raise | from the Transit Company was met by |2 $1000 advance from MacDonald, the ‘fizur then being $6500. Attorney Engs sought another conference with his | principals and shortly returned with a [ $7500 bid. MacDonald called $8500 and again the | 0akland Tra man went to the tele- | phone. Returning, he said: { NEW ELECTRIC LINE. | “The Oakland Transit Consolidated | Transit Company | does not believe these franchises are worth more than $7500 and will bid no more.” The formal award was then made to MacDonald, who was given until to- morrow night to pay over the balance of $7500 due on his bid. Neither at- torney Shaw nor his client, who is a prominent reaity broker of this city, would make any definite statements concerning the reasons they had for giving battle to the Transit company. MacDonald is now the nominal holder of two other street railway franchises, one of which is known as the “Cork- 151 rew” franchise. This starts from First and Washington streets and | criss-crosses the Oakland Transit lines |up Broadway and Washington street | to Fourteenth, out Webster and across | Adams Point. MacDonald also holds f'a franchise to a line through a portion | of the Pleasant Valley district in .Pied- mont. None of the franchises he bought to-night has a direct connec- tion with either the “Corkscrew” or the Pleasant Valley franchises, al- though they might be connected. Attorney Shaw said: “We are not prepared at this time to say anything | about our plans. It is sufficient now that we have bought the franchises.” MacDonald said: “I am not at lib- |erty to talk. It might be that a new electrie road could be run out Webster street.” Attorney Engs said: “The Oakland Transit Company desired these fran- chises as a part of its system. We were not willing to bid more than $7500 for them. I know nothing about the other people and will not discuss that matter.” The Council, by a vote of 7 to 4, voted down Councilman Fitzgerald's resolution directing City Engineer Tur- ner to make a secret valuation of the Contra Costa Water Cofmpany’s plant, to be used only in the event of fallure of the proposed arbitration board to reach a satisfactory figure. It was pro- posed that the Turner valuation should be placed in a sealed envelope, pending the arbitration. Cuvellier refused to m#ake a motion to lay over the resolu- tion two weeks longer, claiming that it was an attempt to put the Council on record and he was ready then to go on record. The vote was as follows: Ayes—Ait- ken, Baccus, Fitzgerald, McAdam: noes —Cuvellier, Elliott, Howard, Meess. Pendleton, Wallace, Dornin.

T. H. Nevin, proprietor of the Wilson | market, on Washington street, oné of | the retail dealers who signed the agree- ment with the Butchers' Union and refused to sign the agreement presented by the employers, has found it impos- sible to secure meat enough to supply his customers and has been ccmpelled to close his market and put up a sign, “Meat all sold out.” Nevin filled his last order this morning. He says he can secure plenty of cattle on the hoof, but as he has no means of killing and dressing the; keep open. Jacob Scheithe has signed the boss butchers’ agreement and was compelled he cannot continue to to discharge his son, C. F. Scheithe, who is secretary of the Butchers' Union. Only two shops are now open. These are Vincent's market, on Washington street, and Paul Wuthe's market, in East Oakland. The proprietors of these | places claim that they will be able to | secure all the meat they need for some time. Some of the retailers who have signed the union agreement sent for Frank Fennon of Livermore to-day and asked him if he could supply them with | enough meat tc serve their customers, but Fennon said that he had only | | | enough meat to supply his own market, | |and while there is plenty o#cattle on the ranges at this time of the year they are too thin to kill.
