SANTA ANA, CAL, Feb. 8.-The Board
of Trustees of Santa Ana have declared the
franchise of the street railway company
forfeited, and have allowed thirty days for
the removal of the ties and rails. Work
has already commenced on tearing up the
track, and there is at last an encouraging
outlook for the settlement of the paving
difficulty. The public in general in this
city indorses the action of the Trustees,
and would prefer to have no street railway
service for while rather than system
conducted after the manner of the one just
closed. There is little uneasiness mani
tested that another system will not be
forthcoming shortly. The fact is there is
splendid opening inSanta Ana for a we'll
equipped trolley system to some point on
the beach and connecting with the many
surrounding towns.
