NO AGREEMENT
ON FRANCHISE

The Supervisors Street Committee
yesterday resumed consideration of the
petition of the Santa Fe Railway Com
pany for a franchise along certain
streets. Three or four property own
ers had filed protests against the grant
because their claims have not been
settled by the company
Captain Payson, vice president Of
the company. stated that he had Of
fered II. Lehrke $4,000 for his prop
erty and $4,000 for that of P. j. Tier
non, but that the two owners wanted
Sl15,000 in settlement of their claims
Payson produced figures submitted by
real estate experts placing valuation
on Lehrkes property of sums ranging
from $50, zoe TO $65, 500 Captain Payson
admitted he would be willing as q
money lender to loan $4,000 on the
Lehrke estate property. Payson said
he did not think an agreement could be
reached with the protestants, though he
raised his offer for Tiernon's property
to $40 000
Supervisor Braunhart contended that
the failure to reach an agreement on
damages should not be bar to grant
ing the franchise.
THE committee has never recon-
mended a franchise until everything
has been settled" said Braunhart
Very well, then,". said Payson, 'the
franchise will not be reported back to
the board, as / see no chance to agree
on the claims. New protests are being
filed even at this late date, and there
seems to be no end to it. If we are
compelled to pay the higher claims we
do not want the franchise
Action on the matter was postponed
two weeks.
c. d. Salfeld, president of the Ash
bury Heights Improvement Club, sub
mitted a sample of the unsightly poles
now being erected in the residence dis
tricts by the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Company as an argument for
the passage of an ordinance prohibit
ing the erection of poles within thirty
FIVE feet of any residence. The mat
ter will be considered next Monday.

The Yosemite 7 k Commissioners
refuse ~ allow the army officials to es-

Uncle Sam had made an approprla-
ton TO put up some substantial quar-
ters for troops, and ii was with TINS

non made a tour in search Of g camp.
Captain Benson had no sooner selected

mission that the troops would not be
permitted TO camp in the valley.
Captain Benson returned yesterday
and at once telegraphed to the Secre-
tary OF the Interior for instructions.
Upon what ground the Park Commls-

reported that there is in the treasury
Of that commission something like
