1t is proposed to extend the city street car
line (three miles in length, OF the city OF San
Bernardino, from its north terminus, six miles
to the famous Arrowhead hot springs, (seven
miles from the city OF San Bernardino); also
to absorb the Highlands motor railway of six
miles, in operation and running to the state
insane asylum, and extending this for dis
tance OF six miles from another terminus OF
car line, in circular manner so as to inter
sect the Arrowhead extension, (thus forming a
loop at North San Bernardino railroad sta
ton, and converting the 81 miles into an
electric system.
The country through which this line will
run is very fertile. thickly populated and con-
stantly growing in population. Highlands
has population of 1000, which can be de-
pended upon to patronize this line literally.
The trip that this will afford will be unequaled
for novelty and grandeur in California.
