Against the Saloon

despite the fact that the city council
had not the 5000 saloon revenue to di-
vide among the different departments in
the annual appropriations, the improve
ments this year throughout the city will
exceed any past year during the saloon
days.
More water mains will be laid this
year than for years past, in fact all petit
lions will be cared for, as the appropria-
ton carries $4,000. Besides 5000 will
be spent for street macadam, which is all
that the street department can lay, and
Is or 20 arc lights are to be placed in

saloon days.

HAYWARD TO HAVE
SUBURBAN TRAINS
Western Pacific Will Operate
Motor Cars to Bay Points
Beginning October

HAYWARD, Aug. 31.-The first su-
burban passenger trains over the new
line of the Western Pacific railroad are
to be operated between Hayward, San
Leandro, Fruitvale and way stations
and Oakland and San Francisco. E. l..
Lomax, the traffic passenger agent of
the new line, announced yesterday that
within 80 days two local trains would
be operated in the forenoon from here
to San Francisco, returning in the
afternoon. These trains are. to be
gasoline motor cars of the latest
model.
The announcement that Hayward is
to have local train service almost i'm
mediately instead of having to wait
six months or SO for it, as was gen
orally expected. was greeted with
great enthusiasm by both the COM
muters and the businessmen of the
town. This service was obtained as
the result of the good work of the
joint committee appointed by the
chamber of commerce of this city and
San Leandro to confer with the Off
Gals of the road.
BY appointment the joint committee,
composed of President William Angus,
l. B. Parsons, T. V. O'Brien, P. Wilbert
organization and William j. Locke, w.
S. Peters, Joseph Herrscher, a. E. Pei
ton and A. B. Cary of San Leandro,
called upon LomaX in San Francisco.
After Lomax had expressed his appre-
citation of the reception given to the
first two trains by the two cities,
Chairmen Angus and Locke of the re-
spective committees presented the de-
sires of San Leandro and Hayward in
regard to securing local train service
as quickly as possible.
On October 1, Lomax said, local
trains will be operated from here to
the city. LomaX has made the COM
mitteeS from the two towns a great
concession, allowing the commuters to
name the two hours in the morning
which will be most convenient for the
outbound trains and likewise the leav-
ing time of the evening trains from
the city.
AS soon as the road receives its full
motor car equipments, which will be
about November 1, a complete SUI
burban and local service is to be put
in operation. From Hayward an
hourly service will be provided, with
half hour service for Melrose. Fruit
vale and Oakland, while probably six
to eight trains day will be provided
for Livermore and way stations.
