ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR
NATIVES CELEBRATION
Committees Report Big Attend
ance Promised Admission
Day Exercises

The progress reports presented al
last nights meeting of the Native Sons
joint committee for Admission day
celebration were very encouraging and
the indications are that the celebration
in the historic city of9Monterey will
be as successful as any that has ever
been held in any city outside of San
Francisco.
Grand Marshal Louis F. Erb left yes
terday for the celebration city and will
remain there to arrange with the COM
mittee of the Monterey parlor about
the parade, which will be from in front
of the Hotel Del Monte He will pre-
sent detailed report at the meeting
to be held next Saturday night.
The committee on transportation re-
ported that all arrangements have been
completed for trains and that there will
be ample accommodation for all who
may desire to go on the excursion.
1t was stated that more than 5000
persons will go from this city anu
probably 1000 from the Alameda side
of the bay.

belonging to the United Railroads to
the main inner tracks OF the United
Railroads in Market street would be
entirely different from having inter-
switching facilities between both the
inner and outer tracks and the Sutter
street tracks. So far as the public is
concerned do not see that anything
more than a connection would concern
the supervisors.
"A frog and mate of special design
such as would be required because of
the volume of traffic IN lower Market
street would cost about s1.100. To in
stall these with one crossing in addition
would bring the total cost within
S2,5O0.
But now, if Mr.. Black is figuring on
having all of the tracks interchange
able it would take. perhaps, seven frogs
and mates and might cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. as he estimates.
HAVE SWITCHES IN STOCK
For temporary use-that is for con-
struction which would be feasible for
several months-they could install what
we call a portable crossover switch on
"A hours notice. These they have in
stock, using several of them all the
time in repair work throughout the
city. This switch would not impede
trafnc in any way, as it projects but
an inch and a half above the level of
the street"
h B. Green, sales agent for the Penn
sylvania steel company, the corporation
which formerly held the United Rail-
roads foundry contract, when asked for
quotations as to the cost of connecting
the Suffer street line TO the Market
street inner tracks, said:
We will furnish the necessary
switches and crossings to connect the
Suffer street line TO the inner tracks of
the United Railroads, the same class of
construction that is there now, for
Sl.700. We can furnish the supplies in
80 working days. The cost of installa-
ton should not be as much as $500 and
the work could be completed in a week
after the material arrived
