Up THE TRACKS
Market-Street Company
Def1es Board of
Works.
Claims Right to Maintain
Rails at Market and
Eddy Streets.

The Market-street Railway Company
sent communication signed by General
Manager Vining to Benjamin Heath,
chief of the Bureau of Streets, yesterday,
in which the corporation holds that it has
a right to maintain the tracks connecting
Market street with Eddy and will not re-
move them. The Board of Public Works
recently sent a communication directing
the company to remove the tracks forth
with. Nining states in his letter that it
is not only the company's right but it's
duty to lay the tracks in question, and
that no forfeiture of franchise has oc-
Cured.
Accompanying Winnings letter is an opin-
ion of Attorney j. E. Foulds, filed with
Road Engineer H. H. Lynch, which is as
follows:
All of the tracks in question were laid by
virtue of order No. 2S04 December 49, 1890,
granting to Henry Moffatt, j. B. Reinstein
and NJ. s. Efsner certain privileges since as
signed to the Ferris and Cliff House Railroad
Company"
The particular clause of the ordinance hav-
mencing at the intersection of Eddy and Market
streets. thence along Eddy street" Under the
ordinary rules of construction the intersection
of two streets means the intersection of the
center of the streets. The requirements of
the franchise as to the expenditure of moneys
in prosecuting the construction of the road
We're complied with. The tracks named have
been used to some extent in transferring and
returning and the conductor of the re-
turn electric current For the reasons stated
am satisfied that you have the right to main
tain the tracks in question and therefore advise
the demand of the Department of Public
Works be not complied with
Immediately on the receipt of the let
ters the Board of Works requested the
City Attorney to advise whether the
terms of the franchise permit the main
tenance of the tracks to connect with
Market street, and If so, whether the
nonuser" of the tracks has created a
forfeiture of the right to maintain them.

of Supervisors yesterday by Braunhart,
fixing the amount of wages to be paid and

based on the theory that the employees
shall be paid at the rate of 25 cents an
hour The charter limits a working day
to eight hours, thus insuring an employe

Dandruff Germ Permanently and
Cures Badness

Quinine and rum and a whole lot of
other things are pleasant to rub on the
scalp after washing it free of dandruff,
but not one preparation of the general
