that the high-crowned hat is assured
for the coming season, and are show

Some of the very best modes show the

half-inch crown, which for the present,
to most women, seems quite high
enough.

URGES SUPERVISORS
TO GRANT FRANCHISE
Ocean Shore Railway Com
pany Holds Charter Does
Not Govern.

The Supervisors Street Committee yes
terday met to consider the petition of the
Ocean Shore Railway Company for a
nfty-year franchise TO construct a single
or double track electric railroad COM
mencing at Army and Illinois streets and
running in general southwesferly direc-
ton to point on the boundary line of
the city about LOO feet easterly from the
extreme high-tide line OF the Pacific
from Eleventh avenue and Fulton street
to the line first mentioned.
Burke Corbet, secretary of the COM
pany. took issue with Supervisor d'Anco-
ma, who held that the Richmond or Park
branch line would have to be sold to the
highest bidder under the charter gov
erning street railways and the franz
chise could run for twenty-five years
only and percentage be paid to the
city. Corbet held that the branch would
be part of the main or transcontinentaI
line running eighty-three miles from San
ia Cruz, and that If competitive bidding Is
required the company would be outbid
for the privilege.
The United Railroads wants us to
abandon the park branch said Corbet,
because it will infringe on its territory.
1t fears that our road is intended to con-
meet with the city's Geary-street road
and will cut into its business. 1t will
certainly bid above us for the privilege.
The Park Commission has agreed to per-
nit us to cross the park in return for
hauling dirt and. loan to the park to
the amount of 500 per month The City
Engineer has imposed new conditions in
the proposed franchise which will in
crease the cost of construction by $4,000
than at first contemplated, but the COM
pany has consented to the changes.
This branch should be considered as part
of the main line and not as street car
line. We would take the franchise for
thirty years but would rather have 1t
for fifty years"
