Kruttschnitt, 1--WE will agree to contribute

of Kentucky street"
~rhe widening of Kentucky street
would be very desirable" said Grunsky,
and the committee expressed itself as ia
yoring the suggested compromise i'm
provement.
In the afternoon the committee met
again and it was agreed that the term of
the franchise shall be for fifty years.
Manson suggested that Sixteenth street
be widened by twenty feet from Illinois
street to Potrero avenue, but Herrin said
the streets could be widened when neces-
sary. Grunsky said the Western Pacific
Company had asked for franchise at
the crossing of Tulare and Marin streets,
and it may be necessary to bridge over
certain streets.
The Santa Fe Company filed an amend
ed petition for franchise so that the
route of the road will run from point
at the intersection of Arkansas and Six
teenth streets along Eighth and thence
along Fifteenth street, owing to protests
filed by property owners.
The Real Estate and Development Com
pany. by Fred Clark president, repre-
senting 1895 feet frontage, filed a petition
that the board grant. the application of
the Santa Fe Company for a franchise.
The petition recites that the adjacent
property will find its most important use
as sites for manufacturing and industrial
enterprises, and to this end the fullest
possible deVelopHent oI railway service
is essential.
John and Maggie Trout of 1920
Mariposa street filed a protest against
granting the franchise to the Santa Fe
Company. The reasons assigned are that
the adjoining property would depreciate
in value and if the franchise should be
granted that electricity should be sub
stituted for steam.
The committee thereupon postponed ac-
ton on the Santa Fe's petition until next
