THE CABLE LINE
bridges are going right ahead and about
the same amount OF work has been done on
the Boone street bridge as Or the Monroe
street crossing. The cable company is
putting 40 the Boone street bridge at
cost Of e23. 900, and all tins officers expect
to Gee both structures ready for the cable
about the same time. An official informed
Q reporter to-day that there was no doubt
OF the work being all completed and cars
mile Of track already down was laid at the
rate OF 800 feet per day. and that 1t could
be accomplished at a rate Of 500 feet per
1iem when the work was again resumed.
Mr.. Holm q, the chief engineer, Ia now at
San Francisco in readiness to come and
push the work Just a. soon as the ground
is in . condition for concrete WORK. Re-
Gently ten cable road houses have been
built along. the line at a cost of about
$1,000 each. and the edict has
gone out that more are TO
follow in the near future. The ones now
mplete are artistic and substantial. An
Official remarked yesterday, "the earnings
Of the cable road will depend. Of course,
upon the dsnsity of the population along
its line. Well, the company proposes to
nut up all the houses that are demanded,
and sell them on the monthly installment
plan. Say we pat ny $1,000 house on a
$500 lot-that win make good house for
any poor man. Then we will sell him the
place for one-third Cash down. giving him
two years on the rest, to be paid by. sys.
teu Of easy monthly payments. We will
put up 500 houses If the demand is suffi-
Gent. In fact we would rather build a
large number than only a few"
The plan in business proposition, based
on increasing the business of the cable
road; and the prediction that cars will be
running on the line by June seems likely
To I've verified.
