Accompanying the order was the fol- lowing letter giving reasons why imme- diate action should be taken:
 SAN FRANCISCO. July 2s, 1s9s
 Hon. William F. Ambrose. Superintendent of Streets-Dear Sir: Referring to my communi- cation of to-day, desire to inform you that pervisors intends to invite proposals for the work of paving that part of Market street to ing next Monday, August l. when you will please have specifications ready required by sity of having the tracks removed tomorrow in order that the city may be in possession of the street when the bids & are invited; Yours Mayor and ex-offcio President of the Board of
 Supervisors
 Mayor Phelan in support of his action and of the order he gave to the Superin- tend ent of Streets said:
 The ten days notice given by the Board Of Supervisors to the railroad com pany to take up its tracks was a mere courtesy and was not required by law. The ten days notice to pave between the tracks and rails is required by law. When they declined and refused to remove the tracks, of course they waived their notice and in order to carry out the resolution of M ofP to the the tracks to-day. By this proceeding, the city being in possession of the street, can Monday as intended. Otherwise, it would mean long delay and raise legal questions as to contemplated paving contract
 ''As to the horse car tracks I read be- tween the lines of the communication of the railroad people that they have no au- thority to maintain the tracks under Sec tion 499 of the Civil Code. and the Board had no right to grant such a privilege on Market street; and, secondly, that by req son of the fact that they have abandoned portions of the horse car road, as on Grant avenue and other streets, they have forfeited the whole franchise.
 ''I sincerely. trust, in the interest of the city alone. that the company will now pave between it's tracks and for two feet outside of their outer rail without any compulsion l do not believe that there is any intention on the part of the Super visors to insist upon the repaving of the concrete cable road bed. nor do I believe that they should be justified in so doing. It looks now as though we would have a smooth and noiseless pavement on Mar ket street between Second and Sixth streets"
 The action of the Superintendent of Streets was so unexpected by the street. car company that several of their cars were caught along that part of the track that was taken up, and several of them were left along the street with no rails to run over to reach the carhouse At one point along the line five cars were

By dark the removed rails were slowed in the corporation yard, and tomorrow the rough cobbles that for ages have served as a pavement along the line of the removed tracks will be taken up, and In their place a smooth bitumen roadway will be laid as fast as the work can be ao- complished.
 Mayor Phelan issued an order to the Superintendent of Streets shortly before midnight on Friday. directing him to re- move the objectionable rails on Market street, and that official lost no time in obeying the order. Counters were sent out at once to assemble the force em- ployed by the Street Department, and by g o'clock yesterday morning nearly 200 men armed with the necessary tools were ready for duty.
 No time was lost In commencing the work of removing the rails. The men were divided in gangs, each gang taking a line ol rails, and a start was made at the point where the tracks turn into San- some street from Market. Just one hour and twenty-two minutes after the first rail was removed the last one, at the corner of Sixth street, was lifted from the ties. The work had been accomplished and no resistance had been made by the railroad company.
 A copy of the Mayors order to the Su- perintendent of Streets, directing him to tear up the rails. is as follows

 The issues of the paper to which atten- ton Is called are those of May and 22, 1898. They are filled with abuse of Amer jeans and of the United States, and yet the columns contain advertisements from well known business men in this city.

In the issue of the 22d is an article head ed, "Donde esta un Espanol esta Espana. 2 (Where there IS a Spaniard, there is Spain.)
