COS RrOadwor No N

ices were lnauSuIaleu IN oakland no
horsecars were seen on the roads to-day.
The franchise to the Twelfth-street horse
car line expired at midnight and the cars
were withdrawn. The franchise was ap-
proved by Mayor FELTON,, December 10.
1870. and was for twenty-five years. This
franchise extended to Oak street. From
there to Thirteenth avenue was granted
in 1881 for fifteen years, and will expire
next August.
Both franchises name horses or mules as
the only motor power. Fares were fixed
at first at 10 cents for single ride or 81
cents when four rode at once
For twenty years the primitive service
and the local line of Seventh street were
the only services east of Broadway. With
IN the past five years the Eighth-street
electric road has been built. The Ala
media electric road on Eleventh street has
been completed. So has the Haywards
road, but the bobtals have been run on
Twelfth street at great loss, for the pur-
pose OF holding the franchise. Now that
the term for which it was granted has
lapsed, much surprise is expressed that
the Southern. Pacific Company does not
seek its renewal.
The franchise will certainly be sought at
once, as it would be valuable to either the
Havwards line, the Central-avenue line
or the Southern Pacific lines OF San
Pablo and Telegraph avenue.
