FORMER MAYOR PHELAN CALLED AS A
WITNESS AGAINST PATRICK CALHOUN

those occasions and. after lengthy de-
bates as to the pracucability of INSTALL
ing the cOnduits system, the petition Of
the company was rejected by the board
in November, 1905.
Mr.. Phelan, what were the grounds
for your objection TO the overhead troll
ley system" asked Mr.. Heney.
First, because the wires and poles
were unsightly- secondly. because We
believed san Francisco TO be as good
as Washington or New York. and enti-
tied to as modern transportation third
". because we saw no good argument
in favor of overhead outside Of the
lesser cost Of construction to the com
pany, a matter with which we did not
think il necessary to deal"
Vice President Examined.
Previous to the calling of Mr.. Phelan
several other witnesses had been exam
ined, the most important being Charles
HolbTook, vice president of the United
Railroads. who was first summoned to
testify yesterday, and Henry Rock, who
designed and constructed the original
Market street cable system The inter
roSation Of these witnesses went into
the condition OF the various downtown
roads after the fire and the merits Of
overhead and underground electric sys-
tens.

tentiOns of the compliments and issues
orders that the differentials are to be
established by the railroads not later
