which the previous franchise contained,
except that portion agreeing, alter fifteen
years, to give to the city one per cent. Of
the gross receipts.
In accordance with the rule of the
board the proposed ordinance was laid

THE CENTRAL LINE, TOO.
The Central Electric Railway Com
pany, not to be outdone by its new rival,
also put in an application for a new fran
chise. The old company now proposes to
double its M-street facilities by having
cars destined for that route connect with
the k-street branch as well as the J-street
route. The company asks for franchise
to construct and operate single or
dOuble-track street railway, to propel
cars by cables or electricity, on y street,
from Tenth to Fifteenth; thence north on
Fifteenth street TO NJ, there connecting
with the present railroad on NJ street.
The ordinance sets forth that the Central
Company shall be restricted to the use OF
the roadways and street railway track or
tracks to be constructed by Albert Gala
tin and Horatio p. LivermOre.
This matter was also laid over for a
week.
THE SMOKE ORDINANCE.
The proposed ordinance prohibiting
dense smoke from factory chimneys
within the city limits was taken up next.
and w. I. Peterson addressed the board
with reference TO it. He said there was
just few people left in Sacramento who
were endeavoring to build the city up.
The people were crying for more factories
and Industries, yet the Trustees now pro-
posed to say that they could have no
factories. W hat Sacramento wanted was
more smokestacks instead of driving
them out. Mr.. Peterson declared that he
knew why the board wanted the or
dinance passed. An agent for a patent
smoke burning device had been in town,
and finding that he could not sell his
machines wanted the board to pass law
that would compel every manufacturer
to buy them. The device had been tried,
he said. and found to increase fuel bills
Joseph Arnold said if manufacturers
would carry their smokestacks to a
proper hight there would not be so much
trouble He did not think, though, that
the proposed ordinance was a wise one
lie thought the time was only a short
time of when there would be no need for
smokestacks in Sacramento, as all facto-
ries would be operated by electricity
l.. Neubourg said that manufacturers
were under enough disadvantages al
ready in Sacramento without being de-
MED the privilege of having smoke
stacks.
Several other gentlemen who are en-
gagged in business i'll this city addressed
the board in opposition TO the ordinance,
and then the Mayor moved that the mat
ter be postponed indefinitely. Mr.. COnk-
lin seconded the motion and it was car
rled, after which the crowd filed out.
STREET WORK.
A petition was received from G. J,
Cross and others for a new sidewalk at
Second and NJ streets.
Lincoln White complained that Eight
eenth street, between l. and NJ, was too
low, causing water to stand in pools after
each rain. He desired the board to pass
a resolution ordering the block improved.
Referred to the Street Commissioner.
Mr.. Ackerman addressed the board
with reference TO the proposed improve
ment of d street, from Thirteenth to Six
teenth. There had been several SURVEYS
in that locality, he said, and the last one
placed his property, or at least portion
OF it, in the street. lie did not propose to
have any of his land taken from him un-
less paid for it. All he asked was that
the lines be established once and for all.
and that no work proceed until they are
established.
The board finally rescinded its former
resolution and passed a new one to inn
prove the street. 1t was understood that
the lines would be settled before the
work is done.
a remonstrance was received from
General J. q. MARITIME and others against
the Improvement of Eighth street from
NJ to r. Detective Fred Burke addressed
the board with reference to the matter.
saying that he was III favor of improving
the street, but not at this time He
thought next spring would be a better
time. Besides, there We're several prop
erty owners on the street who could not
afford the expense at this time.
FOR LEvEE WORK.
The proposed ordinance granting to the
Southern Pacific Company the old Amer
lean River bed, west of Seventh street
was adopted by an unanimous vote. The
