petition, l would say again that we only
want one good route, but several were put
in for the reason that we were fearful
some unforeseen obstacle might have been
raised and we would probably have got
setback. We want TO select as good and
advantageous a route as possible"
Mayor Ebert yesterday afternoon re-
ceived letter from Irving NJ. Scott of the
Union Iron Works on the subject OF the D
cent fare to the Ocean Beach. Mr.. Scott
was one of the gentlemen named by Charles
f. Croker in bis letter as one OF the trus
tees for Sutro Heights. The following is
the communication:
SAN Francisco. May 2s, 1894.
Hon. L. r. Ebert, NdyOr-DEAR SIR: nave
noticed with a great deal OF Interest CORE
spOndence and expressions In the public prints
which the publicity Of the correspondence mad
by yourself, Mr. SutrO and Mr.. Croker, in
regard TO a single fare from the ferries 10 the
Cliff House and transferring from SutTo
Heights 10 the city, has brought forth. Ac-
cordiug 10 the public press there seems 10 be
some differences between the parties interested
which have brought negotiations TO stand
still
The matter is OF so much Importance TO our
citizens and our city that you will pardon me
in suggesting some further eroTt on your part
TO reach a better understanding. There Is no
doubt but that the city will be greatly benefited
by the magnificent gift OF MIR. SuIro, and there
is no doubt In my mind but that there should
be a single fare from the ferries 10 the CHI
House.
AS read Mr.. CrOcker's letter, the transfers
spoken of imply that traveller may be trans
ferTed from any line In the city, in any direc-
tion, 10 the line running 10 the Clitt House.
AS all The various cable lines cannot run to
the Cliff House, il seems TO me that this trans
fer system is not only proper, but absolutely
necessary, and as the proposal seem TO be 10
have the city amend its charter as to make
this single fare ubligatory and perpetual, there
cannot be any point OF difference on this Que
fact.
Mr. Sutro seems to be offended at the sug-
gestOD of selecting some citizens as aTbitraJOrs
betwe II the city and himself. and seems 10 con
trustees for him to deed his property 10.
AS \ citizen interested IN all that tends TO the
welfare OF this city and 10 beauttying the
same, and Interested I'm opening a park for the
city, do not read that suggestion I'm the way
Mr. SutTO. as represented IN the public prints,
seems 10 have taken II. In fact, tie letter re-
ferred 10 difference of opinion between MI.
bltratOrs might be used TO settle those differ
enceS, which Is a very common and appropriate
way of doing so.
do not see how a separate fare from Central
avenue Is going TO settle The question OF one
fare from the ferries TO the Cliff House. Ger
tainly II the road from The ferries TO Central
avenue will exact one fare. The road from Cen
tral avenue TO the Ciif House Will want an
other fare, If IL is q separate road.
therefore ask you a citizen not TO relax
your energies, and TO continue your good work
10 the end, that Won may successfully accom-
pllSh what Mr.. SutTO aSks-a single fare from
the ferries TO the chg House and transfer of
that splendid park to the city.
Hoping that have not Overstepped the limit
IN this communication, ! remain, yours re-
spectfulIy, IRVING NJ. SCOTT.
