RfDDING COMES AS
HERALD OF PEACE
Eastern financiers Send Envoy
to Give Assistance to the
United Railroads

Joseph d. Redding, the attorney who
was specially commissioned by the
eastern bankers interested in the
United Railroads to adjust the pend
ing differences with Che city, has be-
gun his task by interviewing members
of the board of supervisors. No formal
negotiations have been entered into,
but Redding has talked privately with
the men at the head of the city gov
ernnent and has made known the de-
sires of the parties he represents. The
supervisors have given heed to his
statements in some instances have sug-
gested a possible basis of agreement
between the company and the munich
pality.
STILL UNDER COVER
Redding has not yet come into the
open with any specific proposal He
has given: to the supervisors in these
private conversations general out
line of what the company would be
willing to do for the city" in return for
the privileges it seeks. The corpora
tion is exceedingly anxious to secure
a trolley franchise for its Sutter street
line to the ferry. The great value of
this privilege has been demonstrated
by the heavy decrease in the earnings
OF the Sutter street line its absence
has caused. Several switches, turnouts,
and connections are also desired by
the company, and for all these it is
holding out the bait of needed extern
sions and an improvement in the serv-
ice.
SUTTvrErR Str EFT E,YTENSI0N
The negotiations between the city
and the company practically came to
deadlock several months ago. when
the supervisors declined to grant the
Sutter street extension unless pro-
vision were made whereby a municipal
line could reach the ferry by way of
Market street. 1t was recognized by
the banking firm of Ladenburg Thai
man & Co. of New York, holders of
United Railroads bonds, that the San
Francisco public had long since lost
all confidence in the local officials of
the corporation and for that reason
Redding was selected to represent the
bond holders. Ladenburg, Thalman &
Co. are the heaviest individual hol1ers
in the United Railways investment
company, the concern that controls the
United Railroads.
The local traction company has been
in a bad way inancilly since 1906. To
it's Iessees in the big disaster were ad-
ded costly strikes and the tremendous
expense Of defending it's indicted off,
cials. In order to finance the United
Railroads it has been necessary to
draw upon the credit of the Pittsburg
traction company, an allied concern
1t Is now the hope of the eastern
financial interests that through Red
ding they will be able to remove all
causes Of friction with the city.
