COMPROMISE ONTHE GEARY ROAD

IS DRAWN UPVogelsang Will Submit Tenta*

tive Terms to Public Utili-ties Committee Tonight

Agreement Would Enable City

to Run Cars on OuterMarket Street Tracks

A compromise plan whereby the city

will be able to operate the Geary streetmunicipal railway upon the outer tracksin lower Market street to the ferry andthe l'nited Railroads to run Sutterstreet cars over the same route will bepresented by Supervisor Vogelsang to

other members of the public utilitiescommittee and Mayor Rolph at a con-

ference to be held at the mayors officetonight.

Vogelsang's tentative suggestion ofsettlement with the United Railroadshas been in preparation for some timeand follows in a general way along thelines of the compromise propositionswhich have been exchanged betweenthe railroad and the publlo utilitiescommittee for several months past.

It embraces, besides joint use of thelower Market street tracks by theGeary and Sutter street cars a Joint useof current, poles and wires In the dis-puted territory, the settlement of pend-ing litigation and an exchange of trans-fers from the city's Geary street roadto the Fillmore and Devisadero streetlines of the United Railroads.RIGHT TO BE RESTRICTEn

Various provisions are contained Inthe plan to prevent the United Rail-roads from using the contested tracksfor any but Sutter street cars, and It isprovided that the action now pending In;the United States circuit court be dis-missed and that the city be given theright to operate in Point Lobos avenueupon the payment of the proportionatecost of construction and maintenance.

If the agreement is consummated,among its results will be that the horsecars will be taken off Market street,Sutter street cars will run direct to theferry, the Geary street road will havean outlet down Market street to theferry terminal instead of halting atKearny street, the municipal road willhave at least two transfer lines and canbe extended out Point Lobos avenue tothe beach. jTENTATIVE SUGGESTIONS

While not official. Vogelsang's tenta-tive suggestions of settlement will bemade practically as follows:

City to construct tracks in Market street fromKearny street to Sutter, connecting with entertracks constructed by Sutter street railway; use of>atd tracks to be limited to municipal railwayand Sutter street system. City to pay Fhare offair present value of tracks and overhead equip-ment of Sutter street railway, excepting poles,proportionate to use by respective parties. Valueof same to be estimated and fixed at time whenuse by city begins.

City engineer and engineer of Sntter StreetRailway company to determine value, and inevent of a disagreement third engineer shall beselected ns umpire, whose decision shall be final.Maintenance of tracks and overhead equipmentto be borne by the city and Sutter Street Railwaycompany in proportion to citent of use by re-spective parties.

No other cars of United Railroads to be routedover these tracks, except as the board of super-visors may hereinafter direct by proper ordinancewben traffic needs demand. Use of said outertracks by Sutter street or other cars of UnitedRailroads to tertninate with expiration of Sutterstreet franchise, at which date the reasonablesalvage value of the share of the Sutter StreetRailway company in said tracks and overheadequipment, except poles, shall be estimated bycity engineer and engineer of Sutter Street Rail-way company, or their successors and if suchengineers are unable to agree, then a third en-gineer shall be selected by them as umpire to fixthe amount due to said company, which shallthereupon tie paid to said company.

Pity to use I'nited Railroads poles, withoutcharge for stringing wires, between Kearny streetand ferry wherever necessary. In order that erec-tion of additional poles in Market street may beavoided.

Pending litigation to be settled as follows:Action In superior court shall be reopened and

pleadings amended to Include Union Trust com-pany, trustees for bond holders, and »lso to In-clude, as far as possible, the terms of the fore-going settlement. Final decree thereupon to bemade and entered by consent of all parties. Stip-ulation waiving all objections to said decree andwaiving appeal therefrom to be immediatelysigned, filed and entered.

Action In United States circuit court to bedismissed and city to have right to operate inPoint Lobos avenue. If and when it so desires,upon payment of proportionate cost of construc-tion and maintenance.

Transfer to be exchanged upon basis to behereinafter agreed npon at the Intersections ofGeary street railway with Devisadero street andFillmore street lines of United Railroad*. Cityto have option to discontinue same.

If settlement be agreed upon by city andUnited Railroads, entire matter shall be referredto city attorney, with instructions to carry tbesame into effect as far as possible by decree ofthe superior court and. If necessary, remainingmatters shall be embraced in proper contract.
