Los Angeles herald., 1891-10-02

San Diego boomites are now cursing
President Marvel because he will not
accede 10 all their demands. A Santa
F6 official said to HERALD reporter
yesterday, "if those San Diego fellows
wanted to utterly disgust Monvel they
could not have adopted a better course.
| think they have succeeded in making
him an enemy for life of their town
and everybody in it. He is very fair
minded man, but great amount of the
abuse which has been thrown at him
behind his back, has come to his ears,
and man must be more than human
who could stand it patiently. II San
Diego gets any more concessions from
the Santa Fe it will surprise me-"
1t seems from one of the papers OF the
Baynclimate city that the kickers have
nothing on which to base their protests.
The San Diegan says:
"Since President Marvel was here
quite an interest has been manifested
in the terms of the agreement between
the city and the railroad company, by
which the railroad was built and the
city and Kimball brothers gave the big
to the court house to see the agreement,
and had some difficulty in finding it.
The agreement will be found in book 81
of deeds, page III.
"But as matter OF fact the agree
ment does not legally bind the railroad
company to do more than it has done.
No provision is made for the maintenance
of shops or general offices in this city.
In consideration of the subsidy, which
was big one, the company was simply
to build railroad.
sit is limited that still another agree
ment exists, but if so it is not on file. +"
NEW INCORPORATION.
The Los Angeles and Pacific railway
will be resuscitated in few days by the
formation of new corporation, in
which the Messrs. M. N. Avery and W..
nj. Sheldon, of the German-American
savings bank, and Judge Lamme will
figure. The road, it is said, will be re-
constructed and operated as a steam
road. The papers of the new company
will be filed today or tomorrow.
THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
The Los Angeles Consolidated Elec.
trio railway completed yesterday the
putting of the horse-car route to Vernon
in condition to run electric cars over it,
and commenced running electric cars
thither with ample success. The route
through the city is the same as the
route of the horse-car line, and no
change has been made except TO mag
netize the tracks and run a trolley wire
overhead. The cars used are the care
OF the old electric railway company
and these cars are of the Edison system.
They are neat affairs-all open.
They will run at about twenty miles
an hour, can go as high as thirty-three
miles an hour, and expect to make a
round trip to Vernon and back in thirty
minutes. The service will be at fifteen
minute intervals during the day, and
hall an hour at night. There are ten of
these cars, all owned by the company,
but only four will be put on for the
present, these being ample for the SER
vice. The old horse cars will be taken
Off the line and turned into electric
cars. The horses and mules will be
sold. The Vernon road was running on
the day agreed upon between the COM
pany and the people of Vernon, and the
former is, therefore, entitled to the
bonus offered by the Vernon populace.
NOTES.
The Terminal road finds its business
constantly increasing.
The electric road people having
knocked out all attacks are resting.

Pacific, returned yesterday from the
