and k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. in 1928, the j line opened heading west to the beach. in 1944 san francisco voters finally approved muni take-over of the market street railway. by then motor bus and trolley bus improvement had given them the ability to conquer san francisco's hills. after the war most of the street-car lines would be replaced with motor or trolley bus service. in 1947, the mayor recommended replacing two lines with motor coaches. and it appeared that san francisco's iconic cable cars had seen their final days. entered mrs. cluskin, the leader to save the cable cars. arguing that the cable cars were a symbol of the city, and she entered a charter placed on the november ballot. it passed overwhelmly. the california street cable railway was purchased by the city in 1952. there were cut backs on the cable car system and in 1957 only three lines would remain. the three lines that exist today. in 1964 the cable car's future as part of california's transit system was sealed when it was proclaimed a nationa

27 a 65-foot length of tunnel lining buckled at a location 8200 feet down stream of the alameda westportal of the tunnel and where in flows were very high and pressures are very high, and it's a very deep portion of the tunnel below a mountain. as can be seen on the photo on the left, the left-hand side of the steel lining of the tunnel actually buckled into the tunnel several feet and this is a view looking upstream towards the east. the photo on the right is a view of that same buckle from the opposite direction which shows the damage steel liner and broken weld with groundwater actually poring into the tunnel. now although this is a serious and unfortunate occurrence that impacts the current construction schedule i think it's helpful to put in perspective this is 65 feet of over 18,000 feet of tunnel liner that has been completed which represents less than 1/3 of 1% of the total length of more than three and a half miles of new tunnel alignment that has been completed. as we speak the protect team clb the contractor and the management team and the designers are working together to devel

you can see it in the horrendous numbers reported last week from westport.truck engine sales are getting hurt. second, the price of gasoline had to go higher to make this natural gas technology viable. the glut of domestic oil and cheap crude from saudi arabia makes it less economic another reason i think trying to discount oil with gasoline at $3 a gallon we will not develop our natural fuel industry. natural gas held up in price and is hanging in there. conversion has slowed as pretty much all the switching we can expect has happened there is still oil fuel buildings in the northeast. natural gas should be much lower than it is. since we are still flaring off more than we use i think the price remains high in hopes we export the stuff. when you consider the sheer energy development it seems unlikely that more of a handful will ever be built. the price is sticky high, hurting the surface fuel thesis which brings me to reason number four the payback for engines is just not there. they are too expensive. at a time when gasoline is going down in price you can'
