May Result in Suit.
OAKLAND. CAL, Jan. 9.-The city will
probably be involved in suit before the
matter of the removal of the basalt blocks
with which some of the railway com panies
have paved the space between their tracks
is settl, i. Under an ordinance lately
passed Street Superintendent Miller has
notified the Piedmont Company to make
repairs on Washington street and the San
Pablo Cable Company to take up the
blocks on Broadway. The latter has asked
an electric line, which would necessitate a
change OF tracks, and they would like to
have all the work done at the same time.
The Piedmont Company has taken no
steps in compliance with the notice, and
Superintendent Bishop holds that the
road Will not make the change, and that
the city has not the power 10 force them
to. The matter is now in the hands of the
City Attorney awaiting his decision as to
the city S power to do the work itself.

Local Train to Niles.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 9.-The people
OF Niles are very much interested in the
rumor that the railroad company will
soon extend the local train service to their

every two hours. This service would be of
little extra expense to the railroad and
would be of great advantage to the
