engagement of Manager Leeds. n

Acting Manager Stein of the Market
street Railway Company has finally de-
cided upon his assistants. This is mat
ter which has caused considerable wild
conjecture since MIR. Stein assumed his
present position. and many stories were
put in circulation in which lameDtabe
lack of harmony was said to exist among
the subordinates who were compelled un-
willingly to look to the new manager for
their instructions.
The appointments of division superin-
tendents as announced are as follows:
Late superintendent of the Market-street
cable road A. w. Barron will have charge
of the Valencia, Haight. Oak. Hayes, Nc
Allister, Ellis, Howard and Post street lines

office
the request of the directors of the road
until the then pending negotiations were
settled.
II. II. Lynch, the late efficient superin-

about, still active preparations are being
made to commence work on the new
Broadway line. This will be the first
work done by the company. The line will
and will start from Dupont, running down
Broadway to East and along East TO Jack

the wrecked MiOwera. The new ship IS OF
5000 tons burden and will leave sydney

selection of traffic manager
The following officers were reelected =
Barry Baldwin, president; Robert Watt, !
first vice. president; F. w. Van Sicklen.
second vice-president; Isaac Upham |
treasurer; Thomas T. Haynes, secretary.
Concerning the selection of the traffic
manager the following was adopted
Resolred. That the executive committee takes
this opportunity OF expressing It's continued
confidence IN Mr.. j. s. Leeds. our traftic mana
ger, and that our president be authorized to
arrange with him for continuance OF his SER
vices.
This was simply an official Endorsement
of an action which the public has been
satisfied for months would be taken. Mr.. |
Leeds goes in for another year, and all the |
silly stories about internal dissension |
and the probable defeat of that gentle
mans friends in their determln ation that |
be should be given an opportunity to CON-
plete the work which he has successfully |
carried so far are shown to have been |
without foundation.
A new depot to cost $4,000 is soon to be |
built at Litton Springs. 1t will be con-
structed of stone in the most approved and |
stylish architecture, and will be- the hand
soonest along the Donahue line.
Vice-President Crocker says the recent
transfers of real estate across the bay
from the Pacific Improvement Company
to the Southern Pacific Railroad were |
simply made In order that the railroad |
company should possess in its own name |
property which it had been using aud Tor
which it had been paying rent for years.
