franchise for this line was asked
for several months ago, but the appli-
cation met with such opposition from
property owners along Franklin street
that the Southern Pacific abandoned
the project and applied instead for a
electric street railway franchise along
Franklin, Twentieth, Eighteenth and
other streets, to West Oakland for the
purpose OF constructing an electric
loop line. Opposition to this has been
Withdrawn and the application for the
amended franchise is now pending be-
fore the city council This loop line
will be an extension of the present
Webster street line. A double track
III be constructed along Franklin
street, but along the other streets,
where all cars will travel in the same
direction, there will be single track.
Deeds We're also recorded today con-
veying land to the Southern Pacific in
Berkeley. The deeds were from the
Berkeley Development company and
the North Berkeley land company for
property in Northbrae. The Southern
Pacific will use this land for right of
way purposes in connection with the
