TAX PAYER SEEKS TO
BLOCK S. p. FRANCHISE
Injunction Against City Coun=
Gil to Be Urged

OAKLAND, Sept. 11.-Application
will be made to the superior court to-
morrow for an Injunction to prevent
the city council from granting fran
chise to the Southern Pacific company
for land south of Oakland mole, where
the company purposes to make extern
sive improvements. John Gelder has
made the complaint as q tax payer, act
ing for the Tricity Rotary club.
The main ground upon which the ap-
plication is based is an. allegation that
the council will exceed its Jurisdiction
in granting the franchise In its present
shape. The contention is that the fran
chise will give the Southern Pacific
company right to collect tolls on the
docks it intends to build and maintain.
Naph Greenfelder. president of the
Harbor league, was authority for the
statement that the organizations We're
seeking TO postpone action on the fran
chiSe until after the new charter shall
have been framed and adopted.
