may be discovered or used.

The special reasons for the grant of permission and author-

34 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO

ity to propel cars upon tracks on the streets named in this or-
dinance by electric process, or by the use of electricity in such
mode as may be usual, or that may be deemed proper, are as
follows :

First — It is desired by the Board of Trustees of the City of
Sacramento to build up said city and increase the amount of
taxable property therein as speedily as possible. That a rapid
increase in the amount of taxable property in Sacramento City
would decrease the rate of taxation, encourage the establish-
ment of manufacturing industries, stimulate the improvement of
property, promote public improvements, and place the city per-
manently in a strong and prosperous financial condition. A road
run and operated by the electric process can be built more
cheaply and more rapidly than others, and the growth and pros-
perity of the city will be greatly accelerated by the rapid com-
pletion of such a road.

Second — The streets of Sacramento are level (except where
sloped to meet the grade) and run in straight lines. For this
reason an electric road can be operated more satisfactorily than
any "other.

Third — Owing to the simplicity of the machinery and ap-
paratus used to operate a road by electricity, accidents are not
likely to happen, and the probability of the machinery becom-
ing out of repair is very small.

Fourth — A horse-car road will not meet the demands of a
rapidly-growing city, but an electric road, while run at a com-
paratively cheap cost, will afford every possible opportunity for
public travel.

Fifth — The electric system of operating street railroads is
now highly perfected. The means of applying electricity as a
motive power is now engaging, and will continue to engage, the
best scientific and inventive thought of the age. Improvements
undoubtedly will be made in this process from time to time, and
the City of Sacramento will be in a position to derive whatever
advantage there may be in successive improvements and dis-
coveries in the mode of applying electricity as a motive power.

Sixth — An electric road is not attended by noise in its
operation, is always under control, and is y)orfeetly safe.

FRANCHISES AND PRIVILEGES 35

Seventh — Should any accident occur to the electric appa-
ratus, the same can be speedily repaired Avithout serious inter-
ruption of travel.

Eighth — A road operated by the electric process can easily
be extended into the suburbs of the city at a trifling cOst, and
if the city should be extended, the extension can easily be con-
nected with the City of Sacramento by an extension of an elec-
tric railway.

Ninth — An electric railway can be run day and night, and
can be used, if extended into the country, for the transporta-
tion of fruit, vegetables, etc., from adjoining farms to the city,
during the night-time, without disturbing the peace and quiet
of the city.

The above reasons are hereby declared to be special rea-
sons, and to be satisfactory, good and sufficient, for the grant
of authority and permission to propel cars by electricity, or by
electric process and appliances, in such mode and manner as
may be selected by the grantees, their heirs and assigns.

Sec. 4. This grant of authority is made upon the follow-
ing conditions :

First — The cars must be of the most approved construction
for comfort and convenience of passengers, and provided with
brakes to stop the same Avhen required.

Second — The tracks must be constructed as nearly as possi-
ble in the middle of the street.

Third — The grantees, tlieir heirs and assigns, must plank,
pave, or macadamize the entire length of the street used by their
track between the rails and for two feet on each side thereof,
and between the tracks, if there be more than one, and keep the
same constantly in repair, flush with the street, and with good
crossings.

Fourth — The tracks must not be more than five feet wide
within the rails and must have a space between them sufficient
to allow the cars to pass each other freely.

Fifth — The rates of fare must not exceed ten cents for one
fare, nor twenty-five cents for four fares.

Sixth — The rate of speed must not be greater than eight
miles per hour.

Seventh — The owners of said railroad shall pay to the City
of Sacramento for a license for each car in dailv use of said

36 ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO

railroad the sum of five dollars per annum, which shall entitle
them to operate the road every day in the year.

Eighth — The grantees, herein named, and their assigns,
shall commence work within four months from the date ©f pass-
ing this ordinance, and shall prosecute the work of building
and equipping said road as diligently and continuously as pos-
sible until completed, and shall construct at least ten blocks of
road and put the same in good order each year after the com-
mencement of work, unless prevented by unavoidable accidents
or unforseen contingencies. The same must be completed within
three years thereafter.

' Ninth — No poles shall be placed in the streets for use of the
road.

Sec. 5. A failure to comply with these provisions works a
forfeiture of the right of way as well as of the franchise, unless
the uncompleted portion is abandoned by the grantees or their
assigns, with the consent of the City of Sacramento, and such
abandonment and consent to be in writing. The owners of said
railroad may at any time within three years abandon any part
or portion of the franchise hereby granted, upon filing with the
city authorities a written declaration of such intention, and upon
the acceptance of the same by the city authorities.

Sec. 6. The rights and privileges herein granted shall take
effect and have the force of a contract.

Sec. 7. This ordinance shall take effect immediately.

FRANCHISES AND PRIVILEGES 43

to said Edwin K. Alsip and L. L. Lewis, their heirs and assigns,
to propel cars upon said streets by electric process or by means
of electricity, and permission and authority are granted to them,
their heirs and assigns, to erect, built, construct, operate, and
maintain the necessary and proper motors, batteries, wires, ap-
paratus, machinery and appliances for the running and opera-
tion of cars upon tracks by means of electricity. They, or their
heirs and assigns, shall have the right to adopt at any time any
improvement in the electric process that may be discovered or
used.

jTirst — The electric system of operating street railroads is
now highly perfected; the means of applying electricity as a
motive power is now engaging, and will continue to engage, the
best scientific and inventive thought of the age. Improvements
will undoubtedly be made in this process from time to time, and
the City of Sacramento will l)e in a position to derive whatever
advantage there may be in successive improvements and discov-
eries in the mode of applying electricity as a motive power.

Second — Owing to the simplicity of the machinery and ap-
paratus used to operate a road by electricity, accidents are not
likely to happen, and the probability of the machinery 1
ing out of repair is very small.

Third — Should any accident occur in the electric apparatus,
the same can be speedily repaired without serious interruption
to travel.

Fourth — A road run and operated by the electric process
can be built more cheaply and rapidly than others.

Fifth — A road run by the electric process can be connected
with the road run on the streets named in Ordinance Number
Two Hundred and Twenty-three, passed September six, eigh-
teen hundred and eighty-seven.

Sixth — The reasons enumerated in said Ordinance Number
Two Hundred and Twenty-three, passed September six, eighteen
hundred and eighty-seven.

The above reasons are hereby declared to be special rea-
sons, and to be satisfactory, good and sufficient for the grant
of authority and permission to propel cars by electricity, or elec-
tric process and appliances, in such mode and manner as may
be selected by the grantees, their heirs and assigns.

ity to propel cars upon tracks on the streets named in this or-

or the public enemy, or by war, strikes or riots, from either con-
structing said railroad upon and along said portion of said route
or any part thereof, or from operating cars over the same or any
part thereof, then in that event failure to construct said rail-

thereof or to operate said cars thereover shall not be deemed to
operate as a forfeiture of the right to construct and operate cars
over the balance of said route, or any right hereby granted.

under authority and franchise hereby granted, construct its road
upon said portion of said route, the tracks of the railroad so

longing to said City of Sacramento, and of placing thereon or
