nance presented by the Mateo street and
Santa Fe Avenue Street Car company
, I have examined this franchise and I
am of the opinion that it may be passed
as presented and that it Is not necessary
to advertise the same for sale, for the
reason that we could not sell to any other
person or company the right to change
the motive power of this road to elec-
tricity. Referred to the board of public
works.
| Also a number of complaints for some
time past have been made to this office
| that ordinance No 1173 (new series) and
ordinance No. 247S (new series) are be-
| ing violated by the person operating
under what is called the "Scott fran
chise." and by the company represented

quires the painting of all poles used for
the purpose of strfnging wires thereto
or putting lights thereon, and ordinance

carrying wires conducting electricity
or electrical power to be dark colored
and also further requires white stripe
around each cross arm carrying wires
used for electricity or electrical currents
for purposes of light or power between
the hours of a. m and pm. This latter
ordinance Is of special importance as
understand these stripes are placed there
for the purpose of safety and for desig-
mating wires carrying heavy currents
