horSecars," said Manager Stein last evening.
1--WE have something over 200 of them slowed
away In different parts OF town. every one OF
when stood us originally about $500. What
VIII we do with them? That's the problem. In
other Gays, when car got out of date with US,
we mad no trouble IN selling it TO the country.
Dut now The country progresses abreast with
the city, and don't want our old stuff.
"1he horses? We are selling them day nv
day fast tDough-cn an average of six day.
We have about 200 stabbed al Fourteenth and
Mission streets. We don't know what becomes
OF them, OF course; people buy them and lead
them of, and that's all we know; but Imagine
many go TO the country. or course many of
them are old siagers. but there are all grades"
SpeaSing OF the electric cars, Mr.. Stein said:
"The Mlssion-street line is proving quite a
fayorlte. The bright illumination and speed
make them attractive. Each electric car as it
stands on The track costs us about $4,000. The
lamps in the electric cars are 33 candle power,
Notwithstanding standard light that you see
about town being but 16. The allnight cars
Will De run on the Mission street line, as prom
ised. Just as soon as they can be operated. The
machinery Is new, and needs a rest for Gill ng
and liking, and we don't want people to get 10
depending on the line until we can keep it
going. we Will probably work up to an all
night service over the entire electric system as
Ii gets going.
"Kearny street? 1t will probably be all In
order, ile bitumen down and beautiful street
formed before the month is out"
