The San Francisco call., 1899-05-27

%HE residents of Richmond District
are up in arms against the officials
of the Market-stleet Railway Com
pany in their efforts to make a
grand cleanup of franchises before
the new charter goes into effect on the
first day of next January.
A meeting of the executive committee of
the Richmond District Improvement AS
scciation. especially called for the pur-
pose of considering the application of the
Narket-street Railway Company for fran
4 ises in the Richmond District, was hc.u
hst night at Eighth avenue and Clement
street. Many members of the club at
tended.
The unanimous opinion was expressed
that the purpose 0f the Market-street
company is to destroy the Sutro railroad,
the only competing line in Richmond, to
the end that it may monopolize the street
car traffic of that section of the city.
Resolutions were adopted calling the at
tention of the Board of Supervisors to the
fact that the Geary-street Railway fran
chise will soon expire and under the pro-
visions of the new charter the city may
construct and own Its first municipal
street railway on Geary street from the
ferries to the Cliff House.
The following committee was appoint
ed to represent Richmond District at the
next meeting of the Board of Supervis-
ors and to present its objections TO the
granting of franchise on Geary street
and other parts of Richmond District: c.
II. .Hubbs (chairman), Charles Mueller, F.
de Curtoni, Mr. Vileges and +. P. E.
Troy.
Resolutions were also adopted approx
ing of the action of the minority of the
Beard of Supervisors and particularly
commenting the vigorous opposition of
Supervisor Lewis F. Bylngton to the at
tempted franchise steals.
The people who live under the shadow
Of Lone Mountain are suspicious of the
intentions of the great street railway
combine, believing no good can come from
their present desire 10 attain privileges.
They see behind the application for fran
cEises in Richmond possibility that the
SutrO road, which developed the district
. more than any other factor. will be Grip
pied and its value ultimately destroye ed
through the shutting off of its access to
the heart of the CITY.
The chief concern of the RichmOndites
Is over the franchise on California street.
from Central avenue to First avenue. a
distance Of seven blocks. For five blocks
OF this route there are already three fran
Chises of record. The first was granted
Leland Stanford in November, 1873; the
second to Gustav Sutro in December 1856
and the last to Adolph Sptro in July 1894

and Bond Exchange:
SAN FRANCISCO May &c, 1899.
Washington Dodge, Assessor City and County
Dear Sir: In your communication OF the 24th
inst. you inquire If the members of the San
francisco Stock and Bond Exchange should be
bership held by them in such exchange. The
constitution of this State defines property sub
iect to taxation (Article XIl1, Sec. - as
moneys debts bonds stocks, dues. fran
chises and all other matters and things real
personal and mixed, capable of private owner
ship. =,
within any of the terms used in the constitu-
ton?
In the cases of Lowenberg Greenbaum
(e9 Cal. 1922 the court defined a seat upon the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange Board as
being merely "a personal privilege of being
and remaining a member of voluntary asso-
citation with the assent of the associates. And
in the case of San Francisco VS.. Anderson DOB
Cal 70) the court held such a seat to be
too impalpa BILE to go into any category of tax
able property. 1T is a mere right to belong to
a certain association with the latter's consent,
and to enjoy certain per Jral privileges and
advantages which flow from membership of
such association. Those privileges and advan-
tages cannot be transferred without the con-
sent of the association, and forced sale of
them would not give to the purchaser the right
to occupy said seat
1t has also been held that a seat on the San
Francisco Produce Exchange is not taxable
property (San Francisco ys. Wangenheim 81
Pac. Rep 22D.
Assuming that the San Francisco Stock and
Bond Exchange is similar in organization to
the San Francisco Stock and Exchange Board
and the. San Francisco Produce Exchange,
advise that seats upon such exchange are not
subject to taxation. Respectfully.

Attorney and Counselor.

There were two collisions on the water

Abbie ran into the river steamer City of

The fact that the wind was light and
there was very strong flood tide ac-

Vagrant Girls.

Eta Birmingham and Stella Risley, two
girls in their teens, were arrested yes

and lodged in the City Prison on charges
of vagrancy The first girl went to Lark
spur recently with family named Dyer,
living at Nineteenth and Valencia streets,
and, stealing two valses full of clothes,
returned to this city. She then coaxed the
Risley girl who was employed as a do
nestle by a family named Cohen, living
at 1909 Greenwich street, to leave there
for short pleasure tour. When the Ris-
ley girl did not return yesterday the police
were notified. The officers found her COM

DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
acknowledged as the most wonderful med
icine ever devised for those diseases which
are caused by imperfect action of the liver
and digestive organs
Mr.. F. NJ Robinett, of Xenophon, Hancock
Co., Tenn SAYS in a letter to DR.. Pierce: 81 can
heartily recommend DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery for indigestion and torpid liver. I
tried different doctors with but little result. I
could scarcely eat anything it would put me in
such dreadful distress in my stomach. had a
dull aching pain in my stomach, and continual
hurting behind my shoulders, bad taste in my
mouth tongue coated brown, had faint spells
with tired worn-out feeling I took eleven
bottles of Golden Medical Discovery and re-
ceived great beueft 1 am now able to work. If
it had not been for this wonderful remedy be-
Eeve would not be living to-day"
The most difficult diseases to cure are
those which are aggravated by constipation.
In such cases DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
should be taken in conjunction with the
Discovery" They never gripe. All good
dealers sell them.
