SAN FRANCISCO Sept. l.-Com-
mlttlng Itself to the policy of the
public ownership of public utilities,
San Francisco voted a $3,500,000 bond
Issue to build its own railroads to the
great Pannma-Paciflc Exposition that
will be bold In 1915.
In voting for these bond.fi the city
won a fight that was begun seventeen
years ago by William Randolph
Ilearst and his newspapers In the in
terest of municipal ownership, and the
victory Is the most distinctive of its
Kind ever achieved In the United
States.
It means that San Francisco will
not only operate its own cars to the
fair grounds, but that In the dayp
to come It will be a city where public
ownership of public utilities will be
a vital factor In its civic life.
The bonds voted for authorize an
elaborate extension of the municipal
ly-owned Geary Street Railroad,
which has been operating through one
of the city’s principal arteries of traf
fic since last December.
Will Ride in Own Caro.
San Franciscans now ride on their
own street cars from the ferry sta
tion, where passengers land from the
East, to Ocean Beach, a stretch of
tracks that traverse the city from
end to end.
The extensions to the railroad sys
tem authorized by the bond Issue
voted yesterday will provide the peo
ple with their own cars In every por
tion of the city.
Competing against these cars will
be the cars of th© United Railroads,
a corporation that has been so em
barrassed by litigation that it is using
every source of Its vast organization
to accommodate the people who we.re
formerly subjected to the most
wretched railway accomodations In
the country.
Patrick Calhoun, who was president
of the United Railroads has been de
posed from office and his place has
been taken by Jesse W. Lilienthal a
San Francisco attorney.
The corporation saw the handwrit
ing on the wall at the eleventh hour,
and the announcement of the change
was made in the hop© of having the
people vote against th© bonds.
But th© announcement cam© too
late, and the overwhelming vote for
the bonfls served the notice on tho
barons of big business In San Fran
cisco that the people had grown tired
of wretched street car service and
were going to run their own cars.
Lilienthal will, of course, Improve
the service of the United Railroads,
and with this private corporation
competing with th© raunicipally-
dwned lines San Francisco should
have one of the best railway systems
In the country.
The moral of the election 1» a fav
orable one, and it shows that public
ownership of public utilities is a live,
practical issue that will have to be
met by the public-spirited men and
women of every city in the country.
The seventeeh-year fight conducted
for this principle by William Ran
dolph Hearst and his newspapers is
not only felt here in San Francisco.
In his mail to-day Mayor Rolph of
Ran Francisco had messages from men
throughout th© nation, and nearly all
of them referred to the fact that
what San Francisco authorized In
the election yesterday would In time
be authorized by the people every
where in the United States
These details of the costs and
routes show how San Francisco will
spend the proceeds of the new bond
issue in extending its municipally-
owned railway system:
Van Ness Avenue Line—Cost $478,-
000; double track road from Market
street to Fort Mason, 2.07 miles; will
carry most of the traffic from south

nicipal railway and from the Union
street line.
Potrero Avenue Line—Cost $348,000,
from Potrero and Twenty-fifth street;

| and Thirty-third avenue.
With these lines in operation San
Francisco will have its own cars run
ning in every part of Its widely-scat
tered territory.
The seventeen-year fight that made
this system of street railways possible
was begun by Mr. Hearst through
Th© San Francisco Examiner, on
August 13. 1896.
No one in San Francisco longer
doubts the practicability and profits
of municipal ownership of municipal
utilities. The profits go daily into
the cash box of the city and the peo
ple went to the polls yesterday de
termined to extend their own enter
prise.
The bond issue authorizing the ex
tension of the municipal line carried
by an overwhelming vote. It was a
veritable landslide, and the vote sur
prised even the most optimistic
friends .»f municipal ownership.
Led by The Examiner the people of
San Francisco have decided for all
time their poliiy of owning their own
transportation lines.
The result of the ©lection means
the people of the Golden Gate will
In time assume control of all their
public utilities, and that tne principle
for which William Randolph Hearst
has been fighting for so many years
has been firmly established among the
electorate.
San Francisco has shown that pub
lic ownership of public utilities can
be achieved, and the people of tho
other great American cities are cer
tain to take pattern of it.
