Inc corporations committee of the CITY

presented in the applications for stree,
them.
The committee has no, definitely agreed
10 the applications Of George F.. Macor4b-
or ana Mr.. I<owman and Mr. Firth. 1t
IS probable. however. that these gentle
men viii be given TO understand before
the regular meeting of the council ON Mon
day night. that the committee cannot see
lts way clear to grant such franchises as
are asked.
The committee is averr.s to granting q
!ranchisa FOR more than twenty five years
In the f-owman-Furth case however the
committee may DECIDE To give a franchise
or ,nirty years. The reason for this lies
In the fact that the city would obtain a
revenue from five stree; car lines from
Which II now receives nothing. Moreover
such franchise would mean a combiua-
ton OF five Of the principal lines OF the
ci'y. on which the transfer system would
be inaugurated.
bowman F'urth franchise and that OF the
Seattle and San Francisco Railway and
Navigation Company. In regard 10 the
latter the committee has decided not to
grant any franchise over the east water
way except on condition that the bridge
over the water way may be used by other
railroad lines and Tor public wagon road
Residents OF Queen Anne hill have filesI
vigorous protest with the corporations
committee against granting a franchise TO
the Ffrs; Avenue Company unless II will
agree to build the Eastern branch. ex-
tending along Second avenue north from
Highland drive.
According to residents along the line
as projected east from the present termt.
nus. Mr.. Macom5er explicitly agreed to
build tina, branch when he first framed
his application for franchise This is
also borne out by the fact that the oriyt-
nal application contained reference to
this branch
II Is claimed by many weli-known people
living on the hill that II the branch to
Second avenue north is abandoned. IL will
constitute breach Of faith on the part
of MIR. Macomher. who II Ia claimed, told
the hill people to get together and he
would follow any route they might select
The route was agreed upon by about sixty
residents OF the district after a long de-
bate held at the Queen Anne clubhouse
