WANTS TO REGULATE STREET-CAR TRAFFIC City Attorney Says Supervisors Have Right to Fix Fare of Standing: Passenger at 3 Cents. City Attorney Burke yesterday forwarded to the Municipal Ownership League a reply to a communication relative to his- opinion of the legal phases affecting' the enjoyment of.franchises bystreet railroad corporations in view of the fact that the Board of Supervisors has under- consideration a proposed grant of a franchise', to the Ocean Shore Railway Company. Tne opinion says: It is mistaken notion that, a franchise to operate cars is solely for the purpose of making profits for the grantee.

The chief, and essential purpose is 'the welfare. safety, comfort and convenience to accrue to the people whose streets are- occupied. If it, be 'true, as la quite apparent, that a sufficient number of cars Is not operated on i many of the lines it within the power of the city, ithrough. Its Board of Supervisors, by ordinances, to requires the street railroad companies to Increase the facilities and to fix the fare of passengers compelled. to stand, say 2 cents.

The charter gives the Board of Supervisors power to fix, establish and reduce the fares and charges for transporting: passengers and goods. As a citizen I have prepared and Intend to submit ordinances designed to regulate the street car traffic in this city.

PLAN FOR LOOP AT THE FERRY Turntable of Market Street Cars to Be Taken Out and Better System Provided ANOTHER MODEEN DOCK Harbor Commissioners Favor the Building of a New Wharf at Lombard Street A loop for the Market-street cable cars will soon take the place of the at the ferry building. The curve will also accommodate the Sutter-street" After- many conferences between the managers of the United Railroads and the engineer of the Harbor 'Commissioners, plans for displacing the turntable system and putting in the loop, or curve -system have, been agreed upon. The terminal space of the cable roads at the foot of Market street Is on.

State- ground, and is therefore the- Jurisdiction of the Harbor Commissioners. At the next meeting of the board the proposed by Chief Engineer. Norton submitted for approval, amendment or rejection. Provision is made for removing the terminals of the Mission and Howard street electric lines twenty feet in a southerly in order to give ample width 'for the curve over which the Market-street cars will run. Avenues for pedestrians entering and leaving, the depot are provided for.

The plans In the office of the chief engineer contemplate a safety station, two crars in length, within" the loop. On the other. outer side, passengers may step aboard the car from the curb of the ferry building. is estimated that the new system will save a quarter of a minute for each car at the depot. Thia saving of time applied to all the cars of the Market-street system will relieve the great pressure of travel at certain hours of the day: The of the new system contend that much of the peril to which are now exposed in getting aboard and alighting from the cars while the turntable Is in motion will be avoided.

Commissioners Charles H. Spear, president the board; John D. Mackenzie and Henry J. Crocker attended the meeting of the board yesterday. The National Oil Company announced the transfer of its water front privileges to the Associated Oil Company.

The chief engineer estimated that repairs to Lombard-street wharf would cost $6000. Mr. Spear doubted the advisability of spending that much money on an old pier. Mr. Crocker inquired' what the expense would be for building a new wharf.

The engineer said $100,000. The board directed the engineer to prepare estimates for a new structure. John Cassaretto reported to the Commissioners, that he paying $90 a month for privileges on Channel Creek, near Sixth street, and that some without permission from the board had driven piles for a saloon foundation on the State's thirty-foot strip, in. jfront of his premises. The Commissioners directed the engineer to remove the piles.
