Stetson and others, have determined 10 vote

No definite action has as yet been taken on
the subject. but those members who offered to
antag0niZe the project have come out and now
saw that they are IN favor of new and cheaper
telephone system than AZ present prevails.
The strongest opponent TO the new system
was supposed To b Supervisor Day.
Yesterday al a meeting of Il number OF the
Supervisors who were discussing the franchise,
Day said:
IAN the members OF the board are agreed on
the ceSifabity of a new aud cheaper telephone
system, but we want The irancG Use very stfic Iy
consruc ed, 80 that the city and people VIII
reap some benefits"
Supervisor Day then read the old franchise of
the Pacifc Bell Telephone Company, in which
1t was found, to the surprise of the Supervisors,
that the company had agreed TO give 10 the
city one conduit free OF charge for fire alarm
and police wires No advantage has ever been
AIKEN OF this privilege by The City Fathers, and
the city Is SIN paying thousands Of dollars To
lie telephone company Tor lie alarm and police
wires.
Supervisor Day read the franchise proposed
Dy the new company, and said il was not spe-
ciifc enough. He STATED iltat he wanted In
serted The following conditions: First, the
charge OF Telephones should not be more than
81 mouth. Tie city should reserve the right
to regulate the price of switching. All The city
telephones shonld be provided and main aimed
at lie expense Of the company, and should be
OF the best ina ~ use IN the company. There
should be no wires on the roofs OF buildings,
nor on the tops of u0les. All districts should
be described and the time stated of commence
meni and completion; no more than one mile

of the gross receipts should lie paid into the
city Il. asury, aft-r the expiration OF two years.
One hundred thousand dollars should be eX-
pended during the first year, exclusive of build
ings or lands. All charges Tot switching shall
be the same IN the city and county.
supervisor James thought that some of the
conditions we've a lille hard, and would not
permit OF comp tllon with an established rival.
1t was resolved 10 take the subject up on
next Monday mornings

MIR. GLApSTONE'S MOTION CARRIED.
GOVERNMENT BUSINESS TO HAVE PRECEDENCE

IN PARLIAMENT AFTER EASTER.
London. March 30.-ln the House OF Commons this
evening Mr.. Gladstone made motion that after
Easter the Government business have precedence
Mr.. Balfour, leader OF the Cnioniss. said that the
motion was calculated TO deprive private members OF
their rights and would be resisted by The Opposition.
IL was Unprecedented for tho Government TO claim so
early In the session the whole time OF the House. and
there was nothing extraordinary In the present
situation to warrant such proceeding.
Mr.. Goschcn. Chancellor OF the Exchcquer In the
last Salisbury Cabinet suggested that Mr. Gladstone
motion be narrowed to give precedence TO the
Governments Irish business.
Sir william IIarcOurt, Chancellor OF the Exchequer,
replied that the Government could not listen 10 such
a proposal The motion made was the least the
Government would accept.
william L. Jackson, Chief Secretary for Ireland In
the last Cabinet said that the Government apparently
was inaugurating parliamentary policy OF COM
pulsion. The Prime Minister instead OF leading the
House. plainly was trying TO drive II. The Govern
mcnt had been unable to give one good reason Tor
railing the rights OF private mombcrs as was pro
posed In the motion. He therefore would move an
amendment that the operation OF the motion BE- limited
to the period between Easter and Whitsunlidc.
After this amendment had been rejected by vote
OF l72 to SO, other amendments were proposed ana
discussed at length. until thu Government moved ana
carried the closure. The vote on Mr. Gladstone >
motion was 1O3 to 75.
