When Mr.. Sessions built the East Oak
land electric road, he doomed and sold
considerable of his Fruitvale holdings BY
offering passes over the road to home pur-
chasers, good for five years. About $50
people bought on those terms, and many
of them have heen riding on passes for as
much as three years. Now, however,
things are different. The road is in the
hands of a receiver, and orders have gone
forth that the passes will be no longer
honnred.

indignant, and are raising pretty vigor-
