PARK CONCERTS
United Railroads Discontinues
Contribution and City's HoIi-
day Attraction Ceases
Board Declines to Support Band
for Benefit of Streetcar
Monopoly

Unless persuasion and public senti-
ment can overcome the greed of Pat
rick Calhoun and his traction monop-
oily it may be months or years before
San Franciscans and San Francisco
visitors again can enjoy one of the
band concerts in Golden Gate park,
which have been so long the best Sun
day and holiday attraction the city has
had to offer.
Band concerts are at an end. and this
unique allyear outdoor feature of San
Francisco life, which has become
known all over the world, has met its
death because the United Railroads has
refused to continue longer to give the
financial support necessary to perpet-
uate the custom. The park commits
sioners received notification yesterday
that the United Railroads would no
longer pay the $3.50 for each concert
which it has given for years. and the
concerts have been ordered discontin-
ued indefinitely.
The decision of the United Railroads
was conveyed to the commissioners in
curt note signed by Charles n. Black,
general manager, who merely stated in
the fewest possible words and without
any explanation that the "contribu-
tion,' as he termed it, would no longer
be forthcoming. Heretofore the United
Railroads always has borne the expense
of each concert up to $3.50, while the
park commission has added from $50 to
500 TO meet the total expense of the
popular entertainments, which average
in cost from 5000 to $3.50 each. 1t al
ways has been understood that the por-
ton paid by the United Railroads was
given as fair return from its heavy
increase of receipts due to the fact
that the concerts We're the great draw
ing card for thousands of people.
Indignation was generally expressed
by all the park commissioners at the
attitude taken by the United Railroads
mana cement Commissioner Phelan de-
clared that such an act was the best
argument for municipal ownership on
the ground that as the park served
only as a feeder for the streetcar sys-
tenn and the latter reaped the harvest
of nickels il should stand the expense
of an entertainment which contributed
as much to its own interests as to the
pleasure of the public He asserted
