ALAMEDA.

The work of laying third rail- along the out
side rail OF the narrow gauge road from Pacific
avenue station to the trcstle at the foot of
Central avenue is nearly complete and as soon
as the switch is in place large force of men
will be set TO work filling the trestlework with
stone brought over from Laundry Farm on the
broad gauge and switched over on TO the new
spur along the DaTrOwgauge track. The WORK
OF filling 10 Will be commenced the last OF this
week. The trestie Itself is in very bad shape
and will have to be replaced with new one il
not hlled In with rock and a solid roadbed
made. The Southern Pacific Company thinks
II cheaper 10 make solid rOadbed than re-
build the trestle. AS soon as this is finished
work will be commenced on the main narrow
gauge trestle running TO the mole, when ii, too,
will be filed IN solid the same as that of the
broad gauge
