They are backed by perfectly responsible
people," said Spreekels.
''And besides they want to go through
private property. How do we know they
have the right?" said Benjamin. :
''That is their. affair-they take the
chances on that" said Spreckels.
"Well, / don't believe they can do it and
1 am opposed to it," said Benjamin.

passed. Spreckels said he had no objection
to it provided the company could be COM
PEELED to build the road at once. The
provise was inserted that the work should
be completed in ninety days. The route
to be traversed is as follows:
Commencing at the intersection or junction
of Mission street or the Mission-street road
with the Ocean-house road, there connecting
with the tracks OF the Market-street Railway,
thence along Ocean-house road to point con-
tguous and adjoining the premises. on said
road known as 1ngleside.
Mr.. Joost, to whom this action was re-
ported, said: II will have another whirl at
this thing. My head is only rising now.
We will see; we will see-the Market
street Company hasn't got that. franchise

much superior to -bituminous rock. He
wanted the board to adopt specifications
under which asphalt might be placed in
competition with the bituminous rock.
Supervisor Hughes suggested that the
company put down two blocks and allow
it to remain until its good qualities might
be tested by time.
Mr.. Bienfeld urged that life was too
short for that sort of a test, but presented
testimonials from other cities where the
pavement is in high favor. No action was
taken.

numerous pleasures which yield to the

JOOST WAS TURNED DOWN
The Street Committee FaVorS
the Market-Street Com
pany.
The Defeated One Says He VIII
Still Fight-Another Plea for
Asphalt.

The Street Committee yesterday decided
to report against the petition of Behrend
Joost and the San Francisco and San
Mateo Railway Company for an extension
of their franchise on Sunnyside avenue to
the ocean, and granted that of the Market
street Railway Company, asked for only
the day before, over the same course.
Mr.. Joost appeared before the commit
tee. With him was his attorney, Mr.. Van
Duzer, who referred to the fact that the
Market-street Company had a petition be-
fore the board, and then went on to read
the law in these matters, which says that
when an application is made for franchise
the board ''must" advertise for bids for the
same, and the bids being received the
franchise "must" be given to the highest
bidder. This language, he thought, YVES
m andatory, and as Mr.. Joost's petition had
been presented some time before that of
the Market street Company the board
should advertise it and not the other. That
was his first point.
He called attention to the fact that the
petition of the Market-street Company
called for two lines about six blocks apart
extending to the same point. If the San
Mateo Company was granted the franchise
it asked for and the Market-street Com
pany granted the other it was certain the
people would soon have the benefit of
both.
Mr.. Joost, speaking for himself, said
that if he got the franchise he would bind
himself to build the road in four months.
Benjamin moved to take the matter
under consideration, and as the doors
closed upon the retiring JOost the DISPOSE
ton of the committee to drop him with
thud became at once apparent.
Hughes asked: what right has he to
say that the Market-street railway people
won't build their roads as proposed?"
"But even suppose they do, l don't see
why we should give them both lines" said
Chairman Spreckels. I'VE should give
somebody else a show"
in all directions. But l want to see them
built by responsible people" said Hughes.
Eyes, we don't want any more rattle
traps like the San Mateo road. l move we
reject the petition
Morgenstern made an inaudible assent.
Hughes seconded the motion.
II must say that | will vote mo- on this
proposition" said Spreckels. 1T seems
funny to me how you gentlemen change
your minds from meeting to meeting. Not
many days ago you nearly all expressed
yourselves in favor of the Joost petition"
Hughes declared he had always been
5sThis petition of the Market-street Com
pany," continued Spreckels, tasks for a
franchise over the ocean road. 1t will spoil
that beautiful drive. You were always
protesting against that''-talking to Ben
iamin.
81 am opposed to it yet, but there is no
other way for railway to get out there"
Il don't believe the Joost company could
build if they got the franchise" said
Hughes.
II beg your pardon; they will build.

INCREASED WATER SUPPLY.

Free.

The recent disastrous fire, where over
81 900. 900. worth of property went up in
smoke and hundreds of families were
rendered homeless, affords a practical
demonstration of the utter insufficiency, in
certain sections at least, of the water
supply for fire purposes, and the lack of
pressure to properly dispose of this limited
supply when most needed.
1t is admitted by those familiar with the
facts in the case that the great charred
spot south of Market street would have
been considerably less than one-fourth its
present size if the Fire Department had

Aloazar Theater.

Alfred Dampier's dramatization of Lies
Miserables" (Valjean) has plenty of dram
attic action, in spite of the numerous moral
sentences of the copy-book order, which
the characters so frequently utter, and
which, perhaps, read best in the novel.
Dampier plays Vatican alphabetically,
in fact he makes the convict Mayor a
human, possible character and the sup
port afforded him is on the whole salts

Tartar, Louise Royce, and Ferris Hartman
as the Tar are acted with great spirit by
both performers.
