NEW TROLLEY SERVICE
IS AN ASSURED FACT
PACIFIC COMPANY GETS THE
FRANCHISE
BY Action Of Long Beach City Coun-
ell Closer Communication With
Terminal Island VIII Be Afforded.
Some Spirited Bidding

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Nov 1.-The sale of a
franchise for an electric railroad con-
summated at special meeting of the
city council held this afternoon assures
closer communication between Long
Beach and her recent acquisition, Ter
minal Island, in the very near future.
The Pacific Electric railroad purchased
the franchise for the sum of $775. The
right of way is along the line of the
Salt Lake from Terminal Island to Sea-
side Park. The bidding on the franchise
was opened by w. L. Porterfield, presi-
dent of the Home Telephone company
in this city. He started with bid of
$10O. The increases were 10 per cent in
each instance until a bid of SITS had
been made by the representative of the
Pacific Electric, when Mr. Porterfield
suddenly discovered that If he did
secure the franchise he would only
own a shuttle line between Terminal
and Seaside Park and would after that
nave to buy right of way and franchises
into the city. He then dropped out and
lett the field to the Pacific Electric.
The latter corporation has assured the
people of Terminal that work on the
line will be commenced at once.
Residents along the ocean front have
pettioned the council for permission to
continue the cement sidewalk along the
strand toward the east ad to build a
bulkhead fifty feet south of the side
walk from Collins way to Alamitos ave-
nue.. The request was referred to the
public works committee of the council.
The war between the city of Long
Beach and the Nelson-Napier Naviga-
tion company came to an end today and
resulted in a complete victory for the
city and City Attorney Knight, the boat
company agreeing to all the terms i'm
posed. In the first place, Col. Nelson
has paid all back wharfage to the
wharf1nger. Secondly, he has agreed
to dismiss his suit against the city and
to continue to pay the 2-cent wharf
age now imposed for each passenger
carried from the pier. By way of
compromise the city will at a later date
reduce the wharfage to 1 cent per pas
senger. The barriers placed at the en-
trance of the landings will be removed
and traffic commenced again as soon as
notice of dismissal of the suit has been
paced in the hands of the city attor-
ney. The pier has been closed up for
nearly two weeks, but the war between
the city and the boat company has been
going on ever since boats first landed
at the pier. 1t is hoped that the present
compact will remain effective as long
as the pier stands. Although Mr..
Knight, the city attorney, was not
present at the conference between the
N embers of the council and the repre-
sntatives of the boat company his
propositions were carried out in every
instance.

feet. the largest piece of unoccupied
business property close in, was sold
today to the Fletcher-S Salmons Invest
ment company by Col. A. G. Gassen, at
a price approaching 100000. The pur-
chasers say they bought 1t on joint ac-
count as an investment, but the fact
that the firm is reported to be handling

to the report that the purchase is made
for him.

conditions as between union and nom

criticised this afternoon by Judge
Vestal in the police court in pronounce

were engaged in a fight Sunday night.
Four of the party were union sympa-
thizers, while the other two were non

norman were declared by the court
ringleaders in the difficulty and We're
fined $40 each. The others were dis
charged.
The attempt of the prisoners of the
county Jail last night to tunnel out.
and which was successful for a mo-
ment so far as four of the prisoners
were concerned, created quite a sensa-
ton in this city, following so closely
on the recent escape of four other
prisoners from the jail. The officers
believe the escape of the four embold-
ened the other prisoners to make an
attempt. Had not Sheriff Ralphs been
compelled to fire his pistol as a signal
to the other officers on guard that the
escapes were coming, 1t is probable
that many more would have gotten
through the tunnel. The completion
of the large addition to the county
Jail will prevent in a large degree these
frequent attempts of prisoners to es-
cape.
Thomas Fitch will sail in a few days

matter and that the acceptance OF one
hid over another is entirely optional
