The San Francisco call., 1899-07-02

Heiyer's vote he. would get It. This
was one. way. of. declaring that Super
visor Heyer could be. bribed and he
Indignantly denied the frlputaton. In
The Call Of May 81; Supervisor Heyer
vas quoted by Ills authority as fol-
lows. :.
i: IT will oppose the granting Of the
street Railway Company as long as
7 have a vote in the board. This ap-
pears to me to be an instance where
the interests of the city are at stake,
and as consider myself merely a
servant Of the people hold it to be
my duty that should do all that I
can to advance and protect the wei
fare of the people. If the needs of
the city demand: that there shall be
street railroads over the streets
where franchises are asked. for I see
no good reason why a delay of six
months should work any hardship on
the persons or. corporations seeking
the. franchises.
Certain benefits. will. accrue to the
city by reason of the provisions of
the new. charter. These. benefits be-
long to the city and should be pre-
served for it by the members of the
Board of Supervisors. On Monday 1
voted against the attempt to grant
tts. proposed franchises and 1 shall
continue so to vote to the end. of the
chapter"
He will. have: some difficulty in
re6onciling; these expressions with his
present and very strange. indeciston on
the subject.
+: Supervisor Attridge says he Will
vote for the franchises as, recommend
ed by the Street Committee. Mr.. At
fridge and his vote may be dismissed
without unnecessary discussion. If
Supervisor ,Attridge votes for the
franchises as indQrsed by the Street
Committee, he will do SO for a con
sideration from the Market street
Railway Company.
All of the Supervisors could not be
seen yesterday, but those that were
expressed themselves in the inter
views that follow
SUPERVISOR PERRAULzT-I will op-
pose the granting. OF all future franchises
by the present hoard and will certainly
vote against those recommended by the
Street Committee. Outside of the so-Called
"corkscrew'' line, which I voted for last
Market-Street system gObbltng up any
more. of our streets unless it pays the city
for the privilege. .-
SUPERVISOR BYINGTON-I will op-
pose the granting of these franchises, and
l. for one will not permit the Market
. street Company TO dictate to the Super
yisors any more. l have endeavored TO
persuade the. corporation TO introduce
modern ideas. in the. construction of its
roads, but as il eVinces a. disposition con-
trdry TO. up-tO[daLe methods l do not con-
slider that it. is entitled to any further
favOrs at the hands of the board. l will
vote against the franchises as recon-
meHded by the Street Committed
SUPERVISOR .I4ACKMANN-It seems
to me that we have given. the Market
street Railway Company enough for a
while at least. / :beieve that anJ new
franchises. to, be granted should come i'm
der the new charter. J. for one do not
feel like going and further and will. vote
against the, granting Of the franchises in
SUPERVISOR d. DEASY--I Will vote
against the additional franchises recon-
menued by the Street Committee. l was
IN favor OF those passed last Monday bv
the board, but believe that no more should
be granted until the new charter. will be IN
full force and effect.
SUPERVISOR KALBEN-I am opposed
to the franchises. now before the Street
committee. / was only in favor of the
corkscrew as passed our last meeting
and will oppose. any additional street rail-
way franchises. i made statement to
this effect some time ago and intend to
keep my word with the public
SUPERVISOR BLACk-I will vote for
any franchises, provided they are legiti-
mate, that may come before the board. 7
believe in giving the laboring man empiov-
ment, and the. building. of the roads coy-
cred by the franchises in question will put
bread and butter into the mouths of many
idle men For this reason. will vote for
those recommended by the Street. Com
mittee.
SUPERVISOR. .ATTRIDGE-I positively
decline. to state how L will vote on the
franchises recommended by the Street
Committee. 1 will say, however, that /
am in favor of all franchises which will
have the effect Of improving the city and
giving employment to the many idle peo-
pie in the community. I do not consider
Call in agitattng these questions before
they come up in the board. I once
thought great. deal of The Call but il
is getting as bad as the Examiner in stir
ring up opposition to whatever the board
sees fit to Endorse.
SUPERVISOR HEYER-I am not
prepared to state how I will vote on
the franchises recommended by the
Street Committee. only know what
have read in thenewspapers regard
ing the subject and until I inquire
more thoroughly into the proposition.
can not say whether I am opposed
to or in favor of it.
