"Our-frnnchlso loads straight," re torted Mr. Mlllls. "Yours does not. It Is not n common u?er clnusc. It merely stnrts out to Bay so nnd Is so worded that It doesn't mean It.

" Mr. De'nnutt wonted to know why tho-Southern Pacific thon refused to tnko the Terminal Hallway's fran chise. ' "Uecnuso It is dishonest," retorted Mr. Mlllls. "If wo took over tlib Torinlnnl Railway, wo Intended to como beforo tho council nnd hnvo It Rtrnlchtcncd out." Mr. Hennott reiterated his clnh.t thnt tho Southorn PncIflc sought to monopolize the situation. Mr. Mlllls retorted thnt Dennett's monopoly wns qulto enough. Mr. Bonnott said that ho would glvo Mr. Mlllls a pass over tho Tor mlnal Hallway. "I don't enro for it until you get some equipment nnd cars," retorted Mr. Mlllls. "I don't soo what uso a rallwny without cqulpmont or care Is to n community." Mr. Dennett said that It wns all tho way you read tho clause Ho said that If tho common user clauso wasn't worded strong enough, tho company wns willing to havo tho council rcctlty it. Mr. McKnight said thnt It might bo n good thing since tho Torinlnnl Hnllwny company wns so sonorous to hnvo tho Southorn Pacific In tho ter minal business also nnd thnt tho competition might tend to rcduco rates. Ho questioned Mr. Bonnott again as to whothor ho actually thought tho Tormlnal Railway's franchlso contained n "common usor" clnusc. Mr. Dennett replied thnt ho did.

I Mr. Mlllls replied thnt It wasn't tho Southern Pacific's habit to glvo 'a bund but thnt ho would do bo If It wns required. Mr. Bonnott wnntcd to know If tho Southorn PncIflc would pay damages to tho abutting property owners nlong Broadway for tho chango In tho grndo.

Ho said that since the Southern Pacific had o fored to accept It In plnco of tho pro vision In tho Southern Pnclflc's pro vision, ho thought tho city would do well to have It chnnged. Mr. Mlllls said thnt bIiico tho Southern Pacific had taken a route bnclfrom tl o water front, ho did not think they should bo harassed by any city regulntlons. Ho said all thoy wanted was to 'como In through tho city quietly nnd do busi ness in their own quiet way. - Mr. Goss said that ho 'know thnt the railroad generally wanted to do business In t. elr own way but that tun,,, nltlou ntwl nttittwa fminil (I nnr.- bsgavy not to let them do business In their own wny.
