is after more territory. The Directors of
the company are preparing petition to
submit to the Town Trustees at an early
date asking for a franchise to extend their
road to North Berkeley, PeTalta Park and
West Berkeley. The proposed route will
probably commence at Oxford and Center
Streets, thence run along Oxford street,
probably to Rose street, thence by the
most feasible route to Peralta Park and to
West Berkeley. The company will also
apply for franchise TO extend its system
OF railroads suutherly to the boundary line
