That the Oakland Transit Consolidated i.« thoroughly satisfied with Its assess ment is evidenced by the fact that it has rriade no attempt to have a reduction rna'de. •- 0^ ¦¦'¦-¦ ¦ iThe hearing to-morrow will be a lively one, for this is the petition upon -which it p-b'ased and all the signers and the peo ple* of tbe county at large are interested in the outcome: " TO Henry P.

The company controls a complete monopoly of the Ftreet franchises of Oak land, Alameda and Berkeley. No company can ever come into Oakland and compete with them because they have secured every available franchise in these three cities, and in addition hold a privilege from Oakland to Hay«r&rds along th* main highway, running south from Oak land. These franchises were secured from the various city and county govern ment? without cost, and yet the Oakland Transit Consolidated would not part with them for twice the amount of the assess ment, even if there were no rails and cars upon them. The orie'nal petition as filed with the County Board of Equalization was not quite in legal form and did not state ex actly the figures. This was supplemented by a nrorn affidavit setting forth the rlg urf;« as herein quoted.
