SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. Sat meet
ing OF the railroad commissioners this
afternoon, it was decided to hold sessions
of the board at San Diego on the 2Sth of
this month and at San Jacinto on the
31st.
This determination was due to two
com piaints that had been sent to the COM
mission. Ore was from the tax payers
of Riverside county, complaining that
since the ODD of February last the South
ern California Railroad company, of the
Southern Pacific System, had failed to
operate its line from Barstow to San
Diego, because of a wash-out. Several
miles of its track had been destroyed
and they had refused to reconstruct it,
although it had secured its franchise on
condition that it give a continuous train
service between the points named.
The other petition was from the mer
chants of San JacInto, asking that the
Southern California road be required to
reduce its passenger rates from cents to
cents per m lie between San Jacinto and
San Bernardino.
The board thought it could better pass
upon these matters by visiting the points
from which the complaints came and
hearing testimony. 1t ordered the secre-
tary to notify the petitioners of its COM
ing.
