The members of the committee expressed
the greatest satisfaction over the enthusi-
astic support volunteered by every one pres
ent and the expressions of satisfaction with
the progress made were repeated and hearty
There were several representatives of
large estates present yesterday who have
not as yet signed the list, but they will
come forward just as soon as the necessary
authorization is secured.
The address to the public which the COM
mittee has prepared follows:
To the Public: A meeting of citizens inter
ested in property and other values in San
Francisco was called by the Traffic Associa ton
of California, to meet at the Chamber of Com
merce on the 22d day Of January, 1895, to con-
slider what ways and means might be devised
for the construction of a railroad between the
bay of San Francisco and the southern ex-
tremity of the San Joaquin Valley, to the end
that the people of the State of California might
receive the benefit OF a competing railway line
through this large and fertile country.
At this meeting a committee was appointed
to take charge of the matter and such COM
mittee met and organized on the oath day of
January by the election of Mr.. Claus Spreckels
as chairman. Conferences have been held from
day to day since that time and gentlemen were
from time to time invited to cooperate and
were added to the committee
Having matured a plan, the committee now
presents the same to the people of the State of
California for their consideration. You are
asked to subscribe to this enterprise the sum of
50 100000 before the incorporation of the
company, which it is proposed to capitalize at
S6 600, 900, the estimated cost of the proposed
struction of the road is assured, and you are
called upon as citizens and as Californiaps to
respond to the call and aid in completing this
subscription at the earliest practicable mo-

INDEPENDENCE.

This agreement, made and entered into this
twenty-ninth day of January, A. D. 1895, by
and between the parties whose names are here
unto subscribed, witnesseth: That
WHEREAS, 1t is the purpose of the undersigned
to construct a continuous line of railroad from
the city and county of San Francisco, or some
point on the bay of San Francisco, or the waters
discharging into it, State of California, east
wardly by any practical route, hereafter to be
determined, to some point in Kern County; and
Whereas, 1t is proposed for that purpose to
organize, under the laws of the State of Cali
fornia, a corporation, to be called 'San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad Com
pany," with a capital stock of six million
dollars (S6, 900 ,0O0), divided into sixty thou
sand (60,000) shares, of the par value of one
hundred dollars ($100) each, for the purpose of
constructing such railroad, in order that the
citizens of this State may have the benefit of a
competing line of railroad from the city and
county of San Francisco through the San
Joaquin Valley to such point in the county of
Kern
Now therefore, this agreement witnesseth:
That for the purpose of aiding, promoting and
forwarding the construction of said line of
railroad as bona-ide permanently competing
line, and for and in consideration of the mu-
tual covenants upon the part of each of the

then this subscription shall be null and void.
Second-The undersigned hereby further
agree that said proposed corporation may, for
the purpose of convenience, be organized by
any number of the undersigned less than all

After the meeting of the committee had
adjourned an effort to gain some express
sion of opinion from the members and
subscribers elected the following remarks:
Chairman Spreckels-I believe we will
secure a couple of hundred thousand dol
lars tomorrow, and l know of one estate
that will take quarter of that amount.
The whole matter looks very encouraging
and l believe that within two weeks at the
outside limit we will be able to secure the
entire amount of 100000 required before
we incorporate. We have not considered
the route to be followed, but that matter
and other minor details will be taken up
when we have the money-that is the prin-
cipal thing. Tomorrow one or two COM
mittees will start out and call upon some

averse to divulging some of the ideas that
were in him. Mr.. Brown, however, de-
clined to express himself until the road
has been built. He admitted, however,
that if built it would be "a good thing, a
very good thing for California"
G. w. Keeney, general manager of the
Pacific Rolling-mills, said: 1.-The new road
will benefit us. We have not been able to
ship anything on account of the freights.
Now we can reach out for business, for it

pate the State, to benefit the people instead

'They could not build road at better
time" Manager Keeney continued, "for
iron and steel were never before so cheap
as they are at present"
The real-estate men are as a matter of
course in favor of anything that will cause
a demand for real property in city or coun-
try and none of them is more enthusiastic
in support of the new road than Wendell
Easton.

have its direct benefit on real estate in this
city. 1t may be safely estimated that the
values of real estate Will be affected favor
ably-at least to the amount of 25 per
cent, and it is to the interest of every tax
payer and property holder in this COM
munity that the road should be con-
structed.
"Great confidence is. expressed in the
leadership OF the committee that have the
matter in charge. and the business inter
ests represented by these gentlemen will
serve to keep the enterprise in right lines.
Being personally identified with success in
their own affairs, and being gentlemen of
undoubted probity, means a confidence in
the enterprise that assures success. The

growth of Los Angeles was due to the COM
peting roads. Even if the roads pool the
Pacific, with a rival in the field, is always
more careful of the rights and privileges of
the people. 1t is not so naughty in this
city as it was before capital became inter-
ested in the valley road. 1t used to be
exceedingly dictatorial, but now it is quite
courteous. 1t knows that even if nom
competing road were built the people
would remember its sins of the past.
"There is no reason why the new road
should not succeed. The peopld want it
and will patronize it, and it can be built
for comparatively small amount. Steel

now be bought for $50, and locomotives
