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 of Market street, the main business thoroughfare, to the site of the Pana ma-Pacific Exposition and the trans fer traffic from the Geary street mu nicipal railway and from the Union street line. Potrero Avenue Line—Cost $348,000, from Potrero and Twenty-fifth street; over Mariposa, Florida and Twelfth streets to Market street, thence one block to connect with the Van Ness avenue line; distance, 2.2 miles. Union Street Line—Estimated cost, rails and equipment after franchise reverts to city, $779,400; distance. 3.78 miles. Nortn Point Line—Cost $235,600; CHEAP EXCURSION TO FLORIDA Via G. S. & F. Railway. Fare from Macon to Jacksonville $4.00, Palatka $4.60, St. Augustine $4.50, and Tampa $6.00. Propor tionately low rates from in- i termediate stations.

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. GARDEN CITY. N.
