SALOON IS BARRED FROM
KINDERGARTEN'S VICINITY
City Attorney Long Gives Inter-
probation of Law

That a kindergarten is school"
and that a saloon keeper can not be
given a license to establish business
within 150 feet of kindergarten were
the points laid down for the police
commission yesterday in an opiaion by
City Attorney Long.
Joseph Alonza had asked a permit
for a saloon on the southeast corner
of Powell and Pacific streets. This was
within the prohibited distance from a
kindergarten run by the Pioneer kim
dergarten society.
Long showed that the term ~SchooP'
was universally held TO be generic and
to include every sort OF an educational
institution from a university TO a
dancing academy and advised that the

BOND HOLDERS TO
AID OCEAN SHORE
Committee Recommends Issue
of Receivers Certificates to
Complete Railroad
All Creditors Urged to Join in
Plan to Conserve Assets
of Bankrupt Company i

Receiver F. s. Stratton OF the Ocean
Shore railway called upon bond holders
and creditors yesterday to assist him
in completing the road through the
issuance of receivers certificates, for
which the approval of United States
Circuit Judge Morrow must be OBJ
tanned. This work. he estimates. viii
cost on a liberal estimate S3 900.
which will be sufficient to complete the
track laying on the unbuilt section be-
tween San Francisco and Santa Cru5
and provide the necessary equipment
and adequate terminals.
With the receivers statement is in
closed another signed by William J.
Dutton, F. W. Bradley. Charles Sutro
and Henry T. Scott who constitute
committee of bond holders. These frank
ly renOunce their reor ganization plan
of last July and say that the only
alternative is either TO direct the Mer-
camille trust company, as trustee. to
foreclose the deed of trust and sell the
property at whatever figure II may
bring, or to stand by the receiver. The
issuance of certificates is therefore
earnestly recommended
MUST COMPLETE ROAD
Stratton says in his statement that
he realizes his most important duty is
to protect the bond holders. who have
the first lien on the property.
From extended conferences with
both fnanciers and engineers he de-
clares, Il have found an absolute
unanimity OF opinion that the best. and
indeed the only way. to conserve the
property and produce satisfactory re-
suits is TO complete the road and estab-
Iish it on fully equipped foundation"
In estimating the money needed he
finds it will cost s1,0O0.0O0 to lay the
- 4 II
naming section. An up TO date equip
ment demands 100000 more. Then
100000 is required for building termi-
mails. This, together with interest on
bonds payments of certain debts and
operating expenses. will bring the sum
to perhaps $4,000. 900. However. SO, 500
600 may be asked so that the sum may
be sufficient to cover expenses not now
foreseen-
WOULD AVERT CRASH
Speaking of the present state of the
outstanding bonds actually sold come
to $3.000.00O, with $2,o00.000 more
hypothecated with the banks. He fears
these loans will be foreclosed unless
the road is completed
Another fear of the receiver is that
the bonds pledged. on an average OF
two to one, if now thrown on the mar
ket would greatly decrease the value
of the whole. to the direct injury Of the
other bond holders. 1t would besides
raise the bonded indebtedness to
$4,000, 900. So far s7.000.0o0 has been
spent on the road.
The certificates If issued would con-
stitute first lien For this reason
they will be desirable securities. With
the road fully built and equipped and
put on a paying basis 1T will be in a
position to merit sale or reorganization
so that the interests OF all creditors
will be saved

The report contained the following
and suggestions:
The United Railroads stated that their

modern cars on hand or ordered 70 ruE the
system IN manner that would accommo-
date the people and give them service

time waiting for cars. and then take a
chance on even getting a seat. The city
authorities in New York compel the Inter
borough rapid transit company to run so
many cars day each line irrespective
of the season Of the year, the crowds or the
occasion. Something Of that nature here
would at least give the public better service.
OF al the suggestions that could be men

relate n facilities for handling the crowds.
