The following bills on the third read

manner stated:
CAR FENDER BILL PASSED.
AT TINS point Braunhart called up his
notice of a motion to reconsider the
vote whereby S. B. T2 known as the
car render bill, was refused passage,
and moved to reconsider the VOTE
Leavitt. Simpson and Bulla opposed
the motion, and Smith was undecided
The latter said he supposed everybody
wanted tenders on street cars
Leavitt wanted to know if Smith
knew of any street railway company
which had no tenders on its cars.
Smith replied that he had been given
to understand that for some time the
San Francisco Board of Supervisors
had attempted to cinch the street rail-
way companies by obliging them to
purchase some particular specified
fender for their cars. He thought the
bill, if passed, would remove the cinch
of the Board of Supervisors, and he
favored its passage.
Simpson said the bill was absolutely
unnecessary, because railroad COM
panies, in protection to themselves,
never failed to provide tenders for their
cars. He contended that the Legisla-
ture had no right to regulate the mat
ters of municipalities respecting fend-
ers.
Shortridge said he had at previous
session made speech which he sup
posed had laid the bill, but there
seemed to be a good deal of Banquo
about it, and it had bobbed up again
He proceeded to handle Smith gently,
and suggested that the latter would
better move to some town in which
there was a street car line in order to
