PLAN FOR CITY
TO TAKE ROAD

The Board Of Supervisors yesterday
passed to print a proposed ordinance
introduced by Braunhart, Declaring
that public interest and necessity de-
mand the acquisition, construction and
completion by the city and county of
a public utility, to wit: A street rail-
road from Market street, on Geary
street, along Geary street to Point
Lobos avenue. along Point Lobos av-
enue to Tenth avenue, and along Tenth
avenue to Fulton street
The Board of Public Works will be
directed, If the bill passes, to procure,
through the City Engineer, and file
with the Supervisors, plans and esti-
mates OF the cost of original construc-
ton and completion by the city and
county of the street railroad.
The plans contemplate the following
conditions:
Fsrst-The conversion of the present Geary
street road into electric road with under
ground onductors of electricity, onductor
cable, lead covered, and ducts for cable, from
Market street along Geary street to Point
Lobos avenue, and along Point Lobos avenue to
Fifth avenue. 1885 miles.
Second-NeW electric road, double tracks,
with underground conductors of electricity,
with conductor cable. lead covered, and ducts
avenue to Tenth. along Tenth avenue to Fulton
street SOS miles, including bituminous rock
or asphalt pavement between rails and for two
feet on each, side thereof and including re-
moval of water and gas pipes, conduits and
other Instructions.
Thirc-The necessary cars, tools and appli-
ances required to operate the entire road, ex-
cluGing power.
Fourth-Storage battery required in opera
ton of the road when electric power to operate
is furnished.
Supervisor Brandenstein said that he
was not sanguine Of the ultimate sue
cess of the municipal ownership of the
road, yet he would vote in favor of the
ordinance. Braunhart produced figures
to show that 1t would cost s521, ,697 to
convert the road into an electric sys-
tenn with thirty cars. The sum of
S275,S47 would be required in this
years budget to carry out the plan.
Comte thought the experiment Of oper-
ating the road should be tried by the
city and if it failed then it could sell
the system to private parties. Dan
coma favored the declaratory ordinance,
as it would legalize any appropriation
made for the purpose after other i'm
provements, including street repairs,
had been provided for.

ALLOWS APPEAL
10 SUPERV VISORS
Charter Amendment Aimed
to Give Relief When Liquor
Permits Are Denied

Supervisor Hooks submitted a pro-
posed charter amendment 10 the
Board of Supervisors yesterday which
provides that any person whose per-
NIT to sell liquors shall be revoked,
or to whom a permit shall be refused
by the Police Commission, shall have
the right, within ten days after the
decision, to appeal from such decis-
ion to the Board of Supervisors. Upon
such appeal he shall have new
hearing before the Board of Super
Vlsors, which shall have the right to
either affirm. reverse or annul the
action of the Police Commissioners or
grant permit to the appellant The
amendment also empowers the Super
vlsorS TO make such rules and regula-
tlons with reference to the mode, man
ner and procedure in case of such
appeals as it may deem proper. The
action of the Board of Supervisors on
such appeal shall be final and con-
elusive, and until such appeal be dis
ceedings in the matter unless other
wise determined by the Board of
Supervisors.
The amendment was referred to the
Charter Amendment Committee.
Several months ago Hooks intro
duced an ordinance making the Su-
pervisors a court of appeal when
saloonkeepers We're refused a permit
by the Police Commission, but City
Attorney Long rendered an opinion
that the ordinance would be illegal
unless the charter is amended.
Braunhart also submitted pro-
posed charter amendment providing
for a fifty years lease of any real
property of the school department not
required for school purposes, ON con-
dition that building to cost 40 per
cent of the appraised value of the lot
be erected thereon. The amendment
is designed to grant a favorable lease
of the Lincoln School lots, which are
valued at $2,500,000, thus allowing
for a $1,000000 structure thereon.
Demands were drawn in favor of
several property owners who conveyed
lands to the city for the Golden Gate
Park and Preside extension.
The District Council of Painters
filed a protest against the members of
the Fire Department painting an en-
gine-house on Bush street, which, it
is claimed, is not part of their duties.
Resolutions to the memory of the
late John S. Bannermann, a former
assistant clerk of the board were
adopted.
After hearing number of sup
porters of and protestants against
the establishment of tannery on
Berkshire street by John Honold, the
board, by a tie vote, failed to pass the
ordinance granting him permit to
operate an engine and boiler in his
ralace
