II Mayor Francis I Lid that th- only indication which could be gained aa H to the probable results of tho hearing j1 traa in the nature of tho questioning submitted by .ho comni.sslon mm-ben. mm-ben. no decision having yet boen rear in ; "I believe there Ls no doubt hut thai the commission win demand that the mandate of the United States su- i prcnii court in t creeraiinp tho Cm- ! tral Pacific fnm the Southern Paclflo be respected " Mayor Francis said. i i "J gained this impression from tho j nature of the questioning." Jj TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS I "Furthermore I beiiove tho com- mission will likely step Jn and make arranpements for the carrying on of J transportation in tiie bay district near I Bah Francisco and in the San Jua- quln valley, where the Central Pa-I Pa-I eific Interlocks with other lines, so j that the least Jar may bo felt and ther.5 may bo as littlo traffic inter-i inter-i ruptlon as possible. "It ts my opinion that the commission com-mission will favor tho grouping of the Central Taclfic with some larpo rail- road, probably the L'nlon Pacific, In order that the resources of the com- pany may be immediately utilised tn ttl 1 ping transportation open through the Central Pacific lines at thll time of tb' year when spo-jy transportation transporta-tion is necessary, it is common knowledge knowl-edge the the equipment of the Central Cen-tral Pacific has been permitted to depreciate and it ls jiow necessary ' that it be built up or replaced.
