for a Railroad.

Clamor is the word in South San Fran
cisco now, and though not altogether new,
it is Just now louder and more unmistak-
able. They want a railroad from Market
and Seventh streets, along Seventh, over
Channel to Kentucky, and thence to Rail-
road avenue out to Bay View. The matter
will be taken up by the South San Fran
cisco Improvement Club at its next meet
ing, for, as one of its prominent members
said to reporter of The CALL yesterday:

consequence of the lack of improvements.
Here we supply the city with meat, and do
a large traffic ana yet there is stretch OF cOun-
try over mile on Kentucky street where peo-
pie who are not wealthy enough 10 own team
are compelled to walk. This is a great detrl-
ment to business OF all character. There are
half dozen companies willing TO construct this
road If franchise could be drained. We are
going TO demand our rights and fight for them In
way that will make somebody have care"
