AROUND PETALUMA,
A Proposed Electric Road in So.
MONA County.

Editor Morning Call: The people of
Santa Rosa are strongly in favor of an cleo
trio road from Petaluma to Santa Rosa.
Colonel Mark l.. Mcdonald is using all his
influence in that direction with the hope of
waking Petaluma up TO the importance of
the scheme. He says that subscription of
$4,000 from each city will guarantee its con-
structiOn. If Petauma contributes to the
construction of the road she will doubtless
insist upon including SebastOp0l in its cir
cult. Judge Barham of Santa Rosa ex-
pressed himself as follows: " | am lato-rCd
that the people Of Petaluma are discussing
this proposition and have the money to
build the road il they want to. / will say
this much, that If Petaluma does not con-
sent To contribute toward the building oil
the road ! am positively informed that an
English syndicate will. 1t would be better
for Petauma and Santa Rosa to own and
operate the road These English capitalists
have their eyes on the proposition, and the
road will be an established fact within the
next two years. There is certainly some
thing in it, and it would be better for our
own people to reap the benefo Of the enter
prise"
There is evidence OF grea: thrift and
growth at East Petaluma. There is not
vacant house and improvements are going
on all around, owing doubtless to the
works. From a trustworthy source it is
learned that the railroad company have now
on hand plans for a fine structure In the
shape Of new passenger depot The pres
ent building is to remain as a warehouse for
freight. The new passenger sdepnt is TO be
just to the north Of this. This news Will be
hailed with delight by the thousands Of
railroad passengers IN this city and vicinity.
There IS also talk of several new manufaC-
turing industries being started.
