pervisor Murphy and passed 10 print by

revenue, ii is estimated, viii be per

pany Right Of Way Over Ten
Blocks to Water Front

The Ocean Shores amended franchise,
giving the company a right of way
over 10 blocks to the water front, was
repassed to print yesterday by the
board of supervisors, and will come up
for final action next Monday Yester-
day marked the expiration of the go
days since first passage to print but
the board decided not to permit other
changes which had been Incorporate ted,
and returned to the requirements of
the original grant in regard to over

granted upon popular petition and the
board of works Endorsement.
The fear of Richmond property own
ers that the provision permitting elec-

aIlayed yesterday by the filing of a

Murphy called attention, however, to
the fact that this action should be
taken by the board of directors to In
sure its binding power, and notice was
given that the company must comply
with this precaution before final action
on the franchise.

property owners expressed himself as
satisfied with this arrangement.

At the solicitation of the Spring VAL
ley company, the board of supervisors
postponed action yesterday on the
water. rates. The matter was allowed
