for Wires.

given by having a system wholly electric,
the United Railroads are fast reorganiz-
ing their runs
The main changes so far upon the old
conditions are the bringing down to the
ferry the lines that formerly had to stop
higher up Market street A new line also
has been established connecting the Mis-
sion with the beach.
But work is now going on to make an
electric road of Sutter street. A great
gang of men is tearing up the roadbed
and placing new heavy groove rails. The
old cable lines running the length OF the
city. such as the Haight. Hayes, McAllis-
ter, will be the next to be reconstructed.
Their roadbed can be used for time, and
only a scarcity in wire is delaying the
work.
The northern part of the city is the
portion now suffering from lack of trans
portation. That part was largely taken
care Of by cable roads which have been
destroyed The Powell l-street road is the
most difficult problem. The line. Is a
narrow gauge, unfit for the large electric
cars, and the grades are too steep The
engineers are now considering some de-
tour of the hills giving easier grades. 1t
may be reconstructed. however, as cable
road.
! The Kearny- street line will be started
again as soon as the danger from falling
walls and debris has disappeared.
