attention of the Street Committee yester-
day were number of protests that have
been made during the past two weeks
against the granting of the proposed fran
chises. particularly the franchises for
the Geary-street road and the so-called
corkscrew road. After some little discus
sion it was agreed TO instruct the clerk
OF the Board of Supervisors to notify all
interested parties. including the various
Improvement clubs and the representa-
uVeS OF the Market-street Railway Com

pressed himself as being in favor of the
road, provided it Is built on the same con
djuons as would be imposed under the
new charter, and the additional cOnd-
tons that II run down Post street instead
