A FRANCHISE FORFEITED.
The Southern Pacific No Longer
Holds Mission Street.

The City Railroad Company, which Is an
offspring of the Southern Pacific Company, BY
its entire withdrawal of the ''bobtai one-horse
ears on Mission street on last Sunday has
evidently lost and forfeited its franchise
til reby AT present it is believed It does not
own the right TO operate cars in the future over
Mission street from the ferry terminus at
Market street TO The Dortherly terminus al Cort-
land ay nue..
By the terms Of its franchi Sc. secu ed from
the city some twenty-five ye ars ago. 1t agreed
to operate daily continuous car service be-
TIVE those points.
II was declared at a meeting of the Holly
Park and Mission Sfreer Improvement Club
last night that since the 2lst inst. The railroad
company had not run Il single cas- over any por-
ton OF Mission street. In consequence the
Southern Pacific has lost valuable privilege
by It's negligence TO comply with The terms OF
the franchise secured by Tie City Raiiroad
comp ny. and has therefore forfeited its future
right to olerate cars over that thoroughfare.
On Sunday last Seci etary Wtllcutt announced
that no cars would be run over the line for sew
% al months. and through the stupidity OF The
olDcials OF the company the II ncbiSe has been
lost, and Should the Mayor and Supervisors de-
clare he franchise forfeited any rival company
may apply for this valuable privilege, and can
IN this manner outwit lie Southern Pacific.
Tie question was discussed at length by the
club last night, and II was decided 10 commun-
cate with Mayor Ebert about the breach OF
faith IN leaving the Missi0n-Street residents
witnouf ear service.
committee WAS also appointed to sec The
Mayor aud request him TO take the necessary
action IN III matter.

cluo Tor giving certificate OF acceptance to the
contractors who graveled Holly Park. Com-
plants were made that the work was not per-
formed according to the specifications.

suatiOn between Milchrist aud Edwin Wal
