broke its contract with the North American
Commercial Company by which the company
was allowed to take $4,000 seals year. By

damages. But while the American Govern

RAILROAD COMMISSION.
The Board VIII Have a Meeting at l.
trOhp Next Month

The Board VIII Have a Meeting at La
trobe Next Month.
The Board of Railroad Commissioners
received yesterday the answer in the matte r
Of the complaint Of r. G. Sheath VS.. the
Southern Pacific Company, in which the
charge is made that the rate charged for ice
transportation is prOhibtOry one. and that
it is ten times as much as is charged for like
services on Eastern roads. The Southern
Pacific Company denies that the rates
charged are excessive, or that they are in
any way prohibitory, but on the contrary
and 1t is therefore prayed that the proceed
ings be dismissed. The board referred the
matter TO Secretary Kelly, with Instructions
to present a copy Of the answer to tie COM
plainant before taking further action.
A communication from San Mateo resi-
dents asking that steps be taken to have the
Southern Pacific raise the track at the Pop
lar-avenue crossing, San Mateo, was re-
ferred to Commissioner Litchiield. 1t ap-
pears that the avenue is a fay0rite drive to
the bay beach, but the track crossing makes
driving dangerous. 1t is thought that could
the track be raised, so that teams could pass
under 1t, the danger would be greatly les
seDed.
The Commissioners agreed to meet at La
trObe, Ri Dorado County, on October 10Th
and hear the complaints against the Southern
Pacific respecting cattle and wood ship
ments. Messrs. Miller and Bryant headed
the complaint in this matter.
