GENTLE COERCION
FOR SAN IA FE
Supervisors Refuse Spur
Permit Until Company
Pays for Track Removing
DUFFEY GAINS POINT

President Duffey of the Board OF
Works appeared before the Supervisors
yesterday and requested that no spur
track permits be granted to the Santa
Fe Railway Company until the corpora.
ton had paid the expense of tearing VI
its so-called debris tracks on Spear
street, which were removed last Sunday
by the Works Board. Duffey asked
also that the company be compelled tc
restore the street to it's former condi.
ton.
The Southern Pacific and Ocear
Shore companies are taking up theil
debris tracks, but the Works Board has
been put to an expense of $4,000 or $4,000
in removing the Spear-street tracks,
said Duffey. There has been a pal
pable attempt to steal public street
and ] want this board to help us col.
lect our bills for our work in prevent
ing the grab.'
Duffey gained his point, for action or
the ordinance granting the Real Estate
and Development Company spur track
permit on Wisconsin and Mississippi
streets was laid over for one week, as
the Santa Fe Company's road will con-
meet Herewith.
The ordinances granting spur track
permits to the Anheuser-B Busch Brewing
Company, Mcdonald Lumber Company
Harbor Warehouse Company, American
Radiator Company, City Street I'M
provement Company, Globe Milling
Company and Pacific Hardware Com
pany were finally passed.
Six other spur track privileges pro-
posed to be granted to the Santa Fe
Company for as many Industrial enter
prises were deferred until next Monday
on account of insufficient printing.
AT Supervisor Gallagher's suggestion
Duffey agreed to call a meeting of the
merchants street repair committee for
tomorrow morning. Gallagher said the
committee was not making much head
way in the work of repairing streets,
and he thought II was too big propo-
sition for private enterprise to cope
with. Gallagher said the Supervisors
would probably take the matter in
hand, even If it were necessary to cur-
tail municipal appropriations in other
directions so the streets could be re-
paired
The ordinance granting the Southern
Pacific Company a permit for a spur
track along Bluxome street, between
Fourth and Seventh, and also on pri-
vate property adjacent thereto, was
passed to print Attorney Frank Dunn
opposed the granting of the permit on
the ground that the company had not
purchased the entire TlBnl Oh way on
private property sought to be traversed
Dunn said that if the permit were
granted the right of the board TO grant
spur track privileges would be tested
in the courts.
Supervisors Tveitmoe and ONeil
argued that the privilege proposed to
be granted was in the nature of a fran
chise and not permit, owing to the
length of the track, but their motion
-
of the conditions imposed is that nc
cars will be allowed to remain stand
ing on the tracks between a. m. and
d. m.
