PASADENA, Aug. 1l.-MesHTs. Burnett
and Gibbon, the attorneys for the Ter
minal Railroad company, addressed a
long communication to the Star this
evening, setting forth reasons why the
proposed franchise, allowing the build
ing OF two side tracks across Alvarado
street, should be granted. A schedule is
given, showing that at present thirty
two trains cross the street. and that the
proposed arrangement will only increase
the number to forty four, this increase
to be offset by hagman or gate at the
crossing. 1t also appears from the same
schedule, that upon the completion OF
the Mt. Wilson road the number of
crossings necessary under the present
arrangements would be forty eight as
against thirty-six with the proposed
change. The gentlemen 60 on to state
that under the present system the COM
pany will be obliged to place their sta
tion $50 yards north of Colorado street,
thus discommoding q large number of
patrons. This is the railroads side OF
the question.
