OAKLAND, May I'm spite of the
fact that transportation companies
with lines in Oakland have invariably
recognized the privilege of policemen
and attaches of the sheriff's Office to
ride free the peace guardians of Oak
land are now paying fares. Senator
Wrights bill, enacted by the last legis-
lature, is in effect.
Mayor Mott at the meeting of the
fire and police commissioners this
morning declared his intention of writ
ing to the attorney general for an in
depreciation of the statute. Two opin-
ions have been given to him, one by
the city attorney, John W. Fetson,
and the other by representatives of the
Southern Pacific company and of the
Oakland traction company. These
opinions both deprive the policemen
of the free ride privilege. Stetson said
that displaying a badge to streetcar
conductor instead of paying cents is,
before the law, the same as riding on
a pass.
The law which transformed the po-
lice force from the free list to a
source of profit to the transportation
concerns provides that no person hold
ing a position of public trust, honor
or office with emolument attached
shall accept pass from any railway
company.
The policemen and the deputy sher-
ifs paid no heed to the passage of
the statute until today, when both
the Southern Pacific and the Oakland
traction company issued orders com
pelling firemen and peace officers to
pay fare. This order was made eff
fective under the new law in Berkeley
and Alameda as well as in Oakland,
and a wall has gone up.
The outcry is particularly loud
among the Oakland police. The fire.
men had free fare privileges only
during fire, but the patrolmen
availed themselves freely of the badge
rides.
