THE SAN DIEGO PACIFIC.
San Diego Sun: As result of the
change in the management of the San
Diego Pacific railway project. there are
strong inclinstions to make change in
the plans OF procedure, with special ref
erence to tho route to be followed. AS
ia generally known, the original pro.
jector, O. E. Mayne, obtained control of
hat was known as the Park Belt road,
running from the corner of Eighteenth
and A streets, up Switzer's canon to City
Heights, and was at work on an extern
zion of that line to La Mesa and El
Csjcn, when the enlarged proposition OF
building on to q transcontinental con
nection occurred to him and was taken
up. lie at once made the enlarged
proposition fit or misft the work in
hand.
Now that Mr.. Mayne has retired, the
new managers arc inclined to think the
Park Belt line misft for transconti-
mental purposee and are disposed to re-
ject it and select another route ont of the
city. The objection to the Park Belt
line lie that it climbs too many hills and
necenaitates too many grades. By start
ing at the bay front. at, say. D, and run
ming along the low level to Old Town
and thence into Mission valley, and fol-
lowing that line to Ell Cajon. the same
points could be reached with less grade,
and the route is considered to be bet
ter one.
II the change is made Mr.. Mayne will
retain his rights in the belt line and will
probably carry out his original plan oi
extending it and making it suburban
motor road.
