BANK ACCOUNT.
THAT Is WHAT THE PROPOSED
VALLEY ROAD HAS Now IN
ITS POSSESSION.
SUBSCRIBERS ALL IN LINE.
FEW OF THEM WILL LOSE THEIR
VOTES AT THE MEETING
TOMORROW.

There was no meeting held yesterday by
the valley road committee, but the gentle
men composing it will get together this
afternoon and perfect all their plans for
the general meeting of stockholders to-
morrow afternoon in the Chamber of Com
merce. Claus Spreckels spent an hour in
his office yesterday, and his friends hope
he will be able to attend both the meeting
to-day and that of tomorrow.
E. F. Preston, the secretary of the CON-
mittee, has been busily engaged for sew
eral days past on the form of the trust or
stock pool which will insure the new road
remaining as competing line, and he will
have the document ready for the consid-
Grafton of his fellow committeeman this
afternoon.
There is little discussion heard on the
streets regarding the personnel of the
board of directors to be elected tomorrow,
it being the generally expressed opinion
that the suggestions of the committee in
this matter will be followed in every par
ticular.
From the way the subscribers are pay
ing their assessments into the Bank of
California it would appear that there will
be very few if any of them who will lose
it pretty well understood that the individ
ual receipts for this first payment will be
| the stockholders authority for voting at this
meeting.
By far the largest amount received
| from any one individual on these pay
Claus Spreckels for $4,000. Accompanying
it were two checks for $4,000 each, pre-
scented in payment of the assessments
against John D. and Adolph Spreckels.

After the meeting tomorrow the impor-
tant question of the route the road will
follow may demand the attention of the
directors. There is probability. how
ever, that this matter will be deferred for
some time yet. 1t is known that there are
various opinions entertained as to the most
practicable route, and it is the belief of sew
eral of the gentlemen who will in all
proba bility be on the board that the best
course to follow is to put off the considera-
ton of this matter until all the localities
which are anxious to secure the road have
been heard from. II is contended that
this plan would greatly simplify matters
as the board would then have before it
some data upon which to work
Committees are busy in almost every
community along the line of the proposed
road, and they will be able in few DAYS to
formulate some tangible offer to present to
the board. 1t goes without saying that it
| is not the intention of the stockholders of
the road to run the line where no induce
ments are offered, and the size and charac-
| ter of these offers will undoubtedly have
| much weight in shaping the action of the
directors in the matter
Interest in the new road is apparently
confined to no particular section of the
country. From the little town of Mantins
| In New York State, comes a letter to THE
CALL containing the modest item of 81 so
which the writer, who conceals his identity
under the signature of "Subscriber. saws
is a part payment on his subscription. The
| comparative insignificance of the amount
is lost sight of when the spirit of friendli-
ness in which it was given is considered.
! The letter is as follows:
MANTINs, N. Y, Feb IL. 1895
| To the Editor Of the Morning Catl-DEAR SIR:
| ! inclose the sum of 50 so as a part of nv sub
| scription for the San Joaquin Valley road.
| Hoping it may prove success as a competing
| line for San Francisco, 1 remain sincerely
/ yours, A SUBSCRIBER.
