AMENDMENT Vote
SET WEEK LATER
November Is Is Date for Sepa-
rate Election Following the
General One
With Charter Changes Appended
Task Regarded Too Great
at Single Election

President Gator of the election com
mission and Bond Expert Mason of the
board of supervisors held a confer
ence yesterday in regard to the sub
mission of the charter amendments pro-
posed and of the Panama-Pacific expo
sition proposal. In view of the fact
that the charter amendments now sub
mitted number 34 and more will be
passed on to the voters at next Tues
days meeting of the board, it was held
necessary to submit all the charter
changes at a separate election to be
Held one week after the general cleo
tion November s.
The work of the precinct election
officers would be we'll nigh intermin-
able observed Gator, should the list
of charter changes be appended to the
lists of officials to be voted upon in
November
Mason's opinion was that it would
not be necessary to submit at the gen
eral election those of the amendments
whose submission is mandatory by rea-
son of the number of petitioners pre-
senting them, but that the law would
be complied with by their submission
on the 18th as well.
The exposition amendment, which
will head the ticket on the latter date.
will by its adoption at the hands of the
electorate of itself authorize the bond
issue. No further appeal to the people
will be necessary, the amendment it
self so reading as to empower the su-
pervisors to proceed with the issuance
of the securities.
The draft of a charter amendment
proposing that the city take over the
mana cement of the water front was
filed with the board of supervisors yes
terday by T. P. Andrews of a former
grand jury Andrews. in an accom-
panying letter, disclaims any intent TO
disparage the present state control, but
says 1t is high time San Francisco took
up the race with the other coast cities
Seattle, Portland Oakland and Los
Angeles-in encouraging ocean COM
merce.
THE exaction of state tolls for main
tenance,' he held, puts growing han
dicap upon the citys traffic" He
pointed out that Oakland had voted
bonds to construct concrete wharves
and might, if it chose. make them as
free as It's streets to traffic
The amendment submitted to provide
for department of docks and wharves,
with three commissioners appointed by
the mayor, one retiring each year.
City Attorney Long was of the opin-
ion that a state constitutional amend
ment would be necessary to give the
city control of its water front, the
lands having been ceded to the state
by the city in 1864. but would not state
so positively without reviewing the
proposal.

RATE HEARING IS
ENDED in SOUTH
Southern Pacific and San Franz
cisco Present Their Sides
of San Joaquin Case

Los ANGELES, Sept. 1.-The South
ern Pacific railroad and the city of San
Francisco had their innings today in
the hearing before the state railroad
commission, in which Los Angeles is
seeking lower freight rates into the
San Joaquin valley. The hearing ended
with the arguments today and it is ex-
pected that decision will be rendered
by the commission some time between
now and the first of the year
Attorney Durbrow, for the Southern
Pacific, argued today that existing
rates were all right and that the rea-
son for the lower rates to San Fran
cisco from valley points which were
fixed years ago was because Of water
competition on the lower San Joaquin
river. He admitted, however, that
conditions We're now different, but ar
gued that the commission, in any
event, could do no more than order an
abatement of the alleged discrimina-
tion against Los Angeles and not at
tempt to say whether the rates TO San
Francisco should be raised or the rates
to Los Angeles lowered.
Attorney Mann, for San Francisco,
argued against lowering the rates to
Los Angeles, laying stress on the in
creased cost to the railroads of haul
ing over the Tehachapi mountains
Attorney Neumiller, for Stockton,
claimed that as Stockton was 80 miles
nearer the San Joaquin valley than San
Francisco it was entitled to lower
rates than San Francisco and asked
the commission to order a reduction in
rates for that city.
Replying for Los Angeles, Attorney
Loeb stated that the only evidence be-
fore the commission as to the cost of
haul over. the Tehachapi mountains
showed that the additional expense
was about cents per 100 pounds, while
Los Angeles was charged "a and %
cents more in freight rates than San
Francisco for similar distance in the
San Joaquin valley
