Gently employed by the City Hall Commission

The new boilers just put in the hall are of
sufficient capacity TO operate the new plant A

CHURCH-STREET FRANCHISE
The Street Committee Says 1t Is
Void.

AT meeting OF the Street Committee OF the
Board of supervisors yesterday it was ruled
that the Church-street franchise granted to the
Southern Pacific Company in June, 1892. Is
void.
The Southern Pacific Company secured thi s
franchise when the Omnibus road started TO
build lines in that direction. Quite a fight
took place in the Board OF Supervisors and the
Southern Pacific got the right of way. Tie
condition OF the franchise was that II should be
IN operation within TWO years. The road has
not been built, with The exception OF a track on
one block.
Thr people living along the line of the street
have been very indignant At the failure of the
railroad 10 build. After the Omnibus line was
absorbed into tile slreet-railrOad combine the
company saw no further use of building the
road out Church street The time of the fran
cbise expires on next Sunday, June 3.
Agent Haley of the Southern Pacific stated at
the meeting that he aid not know WHEELER his
company acknowledged OF not the forfeiture OF
the franchise.
The Street Committee literally construed the
franchise and said that it was forfeited and
void by not being in operation in time.

The West End Plank Walks.

To the Editor of the PRESS:
l would like to inquire through the
columns of your etscient paper why it is
that the plank walks at the West End are
allowed to remain in such deplorable con-
dition for so long time. Complaints have
been made from time to time but TO these
complaints little attention has been paid
What should be done is this. The dangerous
rlanks should all be removed and sonnet hing
laid in their place which is safe and
durable. Is it that those whose duty it is
to keep the public streets and walks in a
safe condition are now engaged in less
necessary work and will attend to this later
on? Or must broken bones alone awaken
them to this long neglected duty.

The matter was then considered by the
Council. Lawyer Lyons appeared for
Mr.. and Mrs Bryant and ably stated
their case The principal statements in
his argument were that these parties
we're not her legal guardians. and that
they had no power TO to compel her &c
ohey their wishes, and that whatever
hardships she had suffered were brought
on by herself and through their inability
to hinder it. What they desired wa
