The 10-point rise in Brooklyn Union Gas to 125 on two sales, as against 115 on April Il, was directly due to the de- cision of the court of appeals denying the right of the city of New York to examine the company's books. Con- solidated Gas rose sharply in sympa- thN.

these two being the only Hill street
property owners who have refused to
sign the petition. One reason stated is
that the franchise is not limited to
twenty-one years; the other is that a
railroad and not street car franchise
is asked.
The railway officials say that it would
not be worth while to build such a
costly engineering enterprise for twen-
ty-one years, especially as it will not
add to their income, merely saving the
time of passengers to Hollywood, but
not adding any fares to their Golfers.
Again the company's attorneys hold
that they are not asking for a new
franchise because their tracks now in
tersect and wind around the territory
involved. To give a direct franchise
for few blocks is as much for the adj
vantage of the public as for the COM
pany, and hence no restrictions should
be imposed.

TO ACT TODAY ON
tunnel FRANCHISE
CITY COUNCIL WILL PASS ON
NORTH SUBWAY
BID Bore Will Raise Northwest Values
and Save Running Time
to the Hollywood
Section

This morning the city council will
hold a special session to act on the ap-
plication of the Los Angeles-Pacifc
railway officials for franchise to con-
struct a tunnel under and operate a
railroad through Hill street from F1rst
to Temple street.
The company pledges itself to go on
with the work of boring the tunnel in
the section of Hill street further north
from Temple street to Sunset boulevard
partly under the old city cemetery,
permission for which has already 4geen
granted.
Though the Hill street strip from
First to Temple is over 1000 feet the
bore iself will be only about 500 feet, the
plan being to leave a big open space
at each end for approaches, circular
stairway, light, etc. At each end there
will be brilliant electric illumination by
electroliers besides, the southern end of
the tunnel forming fine view from up
the busy section of Hill street south of
the tunnel,
AS property owners in the northwest
have agreed to form an assessment dis
trict to pay for a duplicate tunnel
alongside that which the railroad will
bore-an exact duplicate except that it
will be for wagon and foot traffic-both
tunnels will be dug simultaneously and
they will be ready for traffic as quickly
as modern machinery can do the work.
The city's treasury will be heavily
recompensed for this public improve
ment for the reason that all taxable
valuations in the northwest will be
greatly increased, thus adding tax reve-
nueS.
The great advantage to Hollywood
and nearby residents will be that from
ten to twenty minutes will be saved by
running some cars directly north across
Hill street instead Of east to Main and
then back west in circuitous route
toward SOnoratown.
Objections have been interposed by
two opponents of the tunnel scheme,

but 1t is also true that the president
is not declining advice from any other
promising quarter and he has spent
many hours recently in discussing this
important subject
The discussion so far has served to
bring about the conviction that 1t will
be difficult to get any beneficial legis
laticn of this character through con-
gress quickly. That was one of the
reasons why the president did not
agree with the great interests which
recently appealed to him to call an
extra session of congress Immediately
to deal with the finances of the coun-
try. Notwithstanding the present
great stress to which the existing ma
tioaal bank system. as well as the
correlative systems, are being sub
iected by the currency stringency it
is feared that some time must elapse
before the divers views entertained
by many people-bankers merchants,
lawyers and college professors can
be fused into one practicable and eff
fectiye measure of relief 1t was felt
that SO great ~as the task that little
substantial gain would be afforded by

TO PROTECT GOLD RESERVE
Bank Of England Again Increases Dis
count Rate,

London, Nov 5.-The persistent de-
mands from America for gold, in spite
OF the recently increased discount rate
of the Bank of England and In face of
the continued rise In the cable trans
fer rate, has caused the Bank OF Eng
land to raise it's rate from 5 " to s
per cent. Although an increase to
this rate next Thursday would not
have surprised the market the an
nouncement OF the rise at this time
occasioned somewhat OF furry To-
cally. 1t is considered, however, In
financial circles to be the natural out
come Of the unfavorable New York
bank statement. When the Bank Of
England's rate was raised to 51s per
cent Oct. 81 it was thought that the
situation In the United States was
clearing satisfactorily, but the contin-
ned engagements of gold at loss OF 2
to per cent on the exchange rates
caused recrudescence of nervousness
in the discount market and rates were
put up from 5A to per cent In en-
deavors to assist the bank to protect
its reserve, but the futility OF the eff
forts is shown by the fact that since
Thursday the United States has drawn
daily from the bank substantial sums.
already aggregating $5,000,000. Egypt
has also commenced withdrawing gold.
Financial circles here now incline to
the belief that the 6 per cent rate will
suffice and that no further advance
will be necessary. particularly il the
Bank of France renders its promised
aid. All depends, however. on the abb
sence Of demands of alarming proper
ticng from America.
