WATERFRONT NOTES.
Travel on the Rosalie-Alm0st a Col
liSiOn-The BaWnmOre

If evidence were lacking to prove the
popularity of the new Davie Ferry Com
pany on this side Of the bay, and the de-
sire to give the opposition enterprise SUBJ
stantial as well as moral support, yester-
days travel furnished it. More passen-
gers offered themselves with every trip
than the steamer Rosalie could carry. At
9 A. NJ. about 150 were left at the pier; at
II o'clock the disappointed mum bered over
200, while on the P. NJ. trip no fewer than
400 reluctantly turned their backs when
the boat pulled out, with all the passen-
gers that could be crowded on her clean,
capacious decks. The Southern Pacific
ferry, which left Immediately following
the Rosalie. made up by far the greater
part OF her load from the overflow Of the
adjacent pier.
The Davie Tran spOrtation Company ex.
pects to receive permission to-day from the
Harbor Commission to make improve
ments at the end of Mission pier !. This
permission granted the company will erect
fences and seats, provide ticket-takers aud
save passengers the annoyance OF sur
rendering tickets at the gangDlank.
These improvements, however, are In
tended to be temporary and to continue
only until a slip shall be provided at Mar
ket street.
AT II o'clock yesterday morning the Ala
media was approaching her slip. but could
not land for the reason that a yawl lay
across the entrance, so she slowed down.
A strong food tide swung her into danger.
Gus proximity to the Rosalie, but signal
to back the Alameda was answered in
stantly and an imminent collision was thus
averted. The officers of the Davie Trans
portation company acquit the Alameda OF
malice or intent to do injury to their
steamer.
The British steamship Bawnmore was
towed yesterday by the Fearless and the
Vigilant from Hunters Point drydock to
the Mission flats, where she will lie until
the legal snarl in which she has been
tangled is Strengthened out. While in the
drydock the several holes and leaks in her
hull were temporarily stopped 80 that she
would float. Examination revealed the
fact that fifty or more plates have been
stove in. though there is only one large
hole The stern frame is badly bent and
must come out. The rudder-post and rud-
der are broken in several places. In all
there are eleven holes and twenty-five
frames are broken amidshiDs. When taken
into the drydock she had strong list to
port, but was righted by means Of mast

partly by lack of care on the part of the
lessee. The splendid $4,000 plant if put
on the market To-day would not sell for
over $1,000.
The Berkeley Improvement Company
owns the balance OF the plant, having
bought from Osborne, who put it in new.
This company desires 10 make contract
with the city. It offers to allow 500 per
month for the use of the city's portion Of
the plant. and will furnish the lamps at
about S12 per lamp. The Trustees are in-
clined TO think that price little hlgh ana
to run the plant again themselves. But
to do so the city would have TO BUY the
supplemental portions owned by the I'M
provement Company, which would take
its machines, add to taem and run an in
candescent system for business houses.
These portions would cost the city some
$4,000. An election would have to be held
to determine the issuance of bonds-but
Berkeley enjoys elections.
For Street Superintendent.
The fight for the position of Superin-
tendent OF Streets and the 500 monthly
salary attached thereto is still on. There
are ar three in the 6ght-R. Lloyd, an ex-
trustee; e. ii. Huggns, the City En-
gineer. and M. King. Lloyd and King
both calm to have captured a majority of
the Trustees. King is a lifelong con-
tractor. having done great deal of street
work ln San Francisco, where he became
acquainted with Trustee Whiting, who, il
is understood, is now determined King
shall be the superintendent. Yet the
probabilities seem to be that Lloyd win be
