Barney Murphy, c. NJ. Wooster and
several other gentlemen who are looking
after San Jose's interests in the valley road
matter were again in the city Yesterday.
Monday night Mr.. Wooster attended a
meeting at Redwood City which had been
called for the purpose of arranging to act
in concert with the big mass-meeting to be
held in San Jose tonight. At Mountain
View, Palo Alto, Mayfeld and Hollister
similar meetings were held, and the enthu-
siasm manifest at all these gatherings was
remarkable.
SAT Redwood City said Mr.. Wooster.
lone man came up to me just after my
the stock of the com pany. Many INQUIRIES
were made by individuals as to what they
personally could do to help along the in
terests of Santa Clara Valley. The enthu-
slasm was akin to that of an d-time Pres
ldential election, and expressions of good
will and confidence in the success of the
undertaking were heard on every side.''
"9ou have no idea what a tower of strength
the name OF Claus Spreckels proves to the
project all through the valley. The people
know him and have confidence in both his
ability to carry the proposition to sue
cessful conclusion and his determination
to see that the road is perpetuated as a
competing line. Just wait until YOU hear
the voice of Santa Clara County tomorrow
night. We propose to offer the road I'M
equaled inducements and they won't have
q thing attached to them, either. Every
man, woman and child living in the valley
Is following us up with their support in
what we are now doing, and we are certain
to make a good showing when it comes to
q show down"
Henry Schimmel of this city has sug-
gested to the general committee that the
water front, from Taylor street to Black
for favorable terminal facilities for the new
road If that district were filed in.
There is practically no other portion of
the water front that could be secured for
this purpose" says Mr.. Schimmel, ''as ali
the rest of it is already in the possession of
the Southern Pacific. From Powell street
up to Taylor bulkhead is already con-
structed, and if this was added to the ter
rltory before mentioned 1t would give the
road splendid facilities. The Legislature
is IN session, and now is the time to act. .
Secretary Preston will have the form of
pooling agreement ready for submission TO
the meeting this afternoon, and all other
preliminaries have been satisfactorily ar
ranged.
