George Gould Talks Strongly In Favor
OF the New Line.
NEw YoRK, April 23-The Tribune says
Negotiations for the establishment of a
steamship line between Tacoma and
Chinese and Japanese ports have been I'M
der way for some time. George Gould
president Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. says his only information about
the proposed subsidy was derived from
public dispatches.
He added: Il am decidedly in favor of
starting such q line Some one will soon
occupy the territory and ! see no reason
why this company should not he the first
in the field. We could take two vessels
from our san Francisco line and put them
Immediately on the new route. There is
no intention of making Tacoma the sole
port OF the company on the Pacific bat
there is no reason why San Francisco
MOULD he the only one. Ii is plain enough
to see why the railroads leading to San
Francisco should oppose the new line.
While | Am thoroughly in favor OF il, can
only say that the negotiations have not
been completed"
