When the resolutions came up for discus
sion there was an evident desire on the part
of the board to lay over the street fran
up Supervisor Buring with the statement
that the members were acting under the
orders of Martin Kelly, ''of the firm of
Kelly & Crimmins," who sent word that
these franchises were not by any means
to be granted, but to be laid over
Ebert rose promptly, amid laughter, to
disclaim that he was acting under any such
orders. Hyer did the same.
John O'Byrne, Adolph Sutro and others
appeared in support of the Sunnyside Tract
franchise. Mr.. OByrne contended that 90
out of the 100 streets likely 10 be traversed
passed through the property OF the petit
TONERS. MI Sutro was heard chiefly in
reference to some proposed amendments by
which rails were to be made compulsory
and as to division of the $4,000 proposed
to be expended on the road. The matter
was finally referred to the Street Committee
The city railroad franchise was denied by
a close vote of to 8, and the Market-strest
