Views of Manager Kruttschnitt Re-

Night Boats.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANo1sco CALI

SJo DroauWdy, Dec. .,
Councilman CIVellier, anxious to find
out the ideas of he railroad company re-
garding the extension of the ferry service,
called on General Manager Kruttschnitt
of the Southern Pacific Company, and
this evening gave out the following de-
tails OF tie interview:
1t seems TO me there is some reason in the
claim that it will require scme time and a
very considerable expense TO prepare for this
x,ra service. One ltem alone Will be the pro-
Viulng OF al least three additional and posi-
bly, six additional ira n fOF the rail service in
connection with the boats; that is 10 say, one
or TWO trains on each of the broadgauge
branches, wi, Berkeley, Oakland ana Ala
media, and must confess that while l am aux-
lous 10 see this service 20 on Is promptly as
possible II seems 10 me that we Of Oakland
shuutd not unreaSonaby : expect the Southern
PRclhc Company 10 perform impCssibillt1es,
ana should BE- satisfied at The present time
with the evidence we have OF the efforts be-
Ing made by II 20 improve the service.
hnd as TO the aI.-night or l o'clock service
mat the company takcS the position that if
there was any argent demaud for later ser
vice. or service during the whole night they
would certainly meet it. They 90 not seem TO
belitYe, however, that there is any very urgent
demand Tor such seTY ce or that II later boats
wert put on they would be patronzed sufii-
ci nifty to warrant the extra expense. They
seem to have read the papers ana TO have dis
covered from interviews mere tofore published
that the eople OF Oak and are by no means
that has been made ior all-night service.
They appreciate that the fellow who misses
me asst boat is in bad fix with the power ut
home, 10 whom he has to account for his
movements, but they hardly think IL fair that
they should be chHrgeu w1tn keeping the peace
in Oakland house olGs when the lord and
master has staid out 100 late or has taken a
drink 100 much.
Another matter that surprised me very
much were some statements of ferry service
that were shown me when made the asser-
tiOn that this business had increased so
enormously in the past few years that il
seemed TO me the Southern Pacific Company
would be warranted in running boats all
night between Oakland and san Francisco.
was shown statements showing passengers
carried for a numDer of years back ana was

than they did three or four years ago. The
