Alexander Hensey. of the swartzeli,

OF his position in public life to abuse a
lot OF respectable business men who
have not the same opportunity that he
had to present their side OF the question

Hepburns attack indicated that he did
not know much about his subject. The
attack really calls for no reply. as the
well-posted people of the District know
more about the subject than he seems

CALLS CONFERENCE
ON FRANCHISES
City Attorney Of Oakland
to Meet Representatives of
Roads Seeking Privileges
CHARTER PROVISIONS

OAKLAND, Dec. 30.-With the advent
of the new year the battle between the
railway companies will be renewed for
franchise privileges along the harbor
and bay frontages Of Oakland. The
first move will be made New Years
day, when a conference of Western
Pacific Railway, Santa Fe, San Fran
cisco, Oakland and San Jose {Key
koute) road representatives will meet
with City Attorney McElroy to dis
cuss various legal phases of the Wood
street situation.
City Attorney McEIroy has called
this meeting for presentation of points
bearing upon a construction of the
mandatory articles of the city char
ter, which provide, on their face, that
applications for railway franchises in
the territory bounded by the east line
of Wood street, extending southeasterly
and along the south side below the
Southern Pacific right of way, to the
eastern city limits must be granted.
All three roads have applications be-
fore the City Council for franchises
covering parts of Wood street. The
Western Pacific desires to continue its
projected main freight line on the south
side through Wood street. The Santa
Fe has asked for franchise from its
yards at Emeryvifle south on the same
street to Twentieth, there to run into
new freight yards at Twentieth and
Union streets. The San Francisco, Oak
land and San Jose Railway seeks a
franchise from it's Emeryville yards
through Wood street TO Seventh street.
The conflict led to action by the City
Council referring all of the franchise
applications to the City Attorney in
conference with the railroad repre-
sentatives.
Charles e. Shook, attorney for the
Western Pacific, explained today that
the conference was intended to cover
the legal aspects of the charter pro-
visions concerning the Wood-street ap-
plications He said:
The City Attorney has called the
various attorneys into conference for
the purpose of studying the situation
and the charters mandatory provisions.
do not understand that any other
phase of the matter is to be taken
up. When the Council was considering
the application, the suggestion was
made that such a conference might
result in clearing 4nany of the legal
questions and might lead to an ad-
justment of the conflict in the applica-
tions."
The further hearing of all of the
franchise applications, including those
of the Western Pacific. and the Union
Belt Line Railway along the south
harbor frontage, has been set for Janu-
ary 2.
