cZaTlike in his declarations that Commits
sioner BaSsett told him that Mr. Holmes
knew more about this matter than Mr..
Morrow and that his Judgment on the sub
ject was more valuable. The railroad men
who advocated eight tracks were in the
majority, however, and it was decided to
accede to their wishes. ......r =. - =.
Mr.. NewhalE of the Preside and Ferries
was in favor of Mr.. Holmes plan as by
having only SIX tracks between his line
and Market street his cQmpany's terminus
would be nearer the ferry den0t than other
wise. Mr.. Lynch>ef the Cliff House lines
had similar reason for preferrinc Mr..
Holmes idea. 1t was agreed to alter the
plans a little 80. as To allow the cars Of
these com panies to be seen from the depot
without interference. .....s ..-..-.
The Market-street cable lines have as
usual the best situation. 1t was said that
he plan as settled on yesterday restores
the old system OF termini for the lines that
were running to the ferry before changes
were made There is to be a space for pedes-
TRANS of thrty-hve feet between the turn
table and track of the Market-streer co,li-
pany. Ii was. thought that this would be
enough space for people passing to and
from the walk on the north side Of Market
street. There will be more room than
that for passage to. and from the opposite
sidewalk. Commissioned Brown said that
a bridge for pedestrians is to be built over
the foot of Market street as soon as the
new depotis erected. 1t will extend from
one side of East street TO the depot. -. -.
The slanting track: and second turn
table of the Markel-street system are to
be used only on very busy days. When
argument was had as to whether one car
can leave when another arrives, thus dis
pensing with the necessity OF two ter
minal tracks for each line, it was said by
the railroad men that the only OCCASION
when cars do not leave on schedule time
are when q boat is " aited for to accommo-
date the public, Commissioner Brown
asked whether more than % per cent of
the ferry passengers take the cars, but
this question the railroad managers could
not answer. IL. ->:. : r.
The alterations will be made in Mr..
Holmes' plan before the boards meeting
next Tuesday, when it will be adopted.

ers yesterday when plans for the assign
mont of stations to the different lines were
considered. Mr. Holmes. engineer of the
board, had prepared a drawing that re-
sembIed in its general aspect the one which
the Market-street Gable Company pre-
sented. 1t was rot altogether similar
though, and there were enough points of
disagreement between the two to- causs
some OF the railroad men TO favor one and
others to prefer the other.
t Mr.. Holmes opinion was that for the
cars of the Omnibus. Central, Suffer-
street and North Beach and Mission lines
which approach the ferry on Market
street six terminal tracks in ali would be
enough.
Robert MORROW of the Sutter-stree,
Company vehemently opposed this idea,
saying that each line should have two
tracks so as to accommodate two cars at
time. He therefore favored the plan
wherein eight tracks were put in the
bunch for these four lines. He was SO
