Hendricks tlaII-A Preliminary canter
With the Goal In Sight

An enthusiastic public meeting was
held in Hendricks hall, Boyle Heights,
last night, with reference to securing al.
electric railway to and through the
Heights. Judge r. II. +. Variel called
the meeting to order and was elected
chairman. and J. L. Cook, editor of the
Criterion. secretary.
Ex-Mayor Workman was called upon to
explain more fully the object of the
meeting which he did in plain terms;
that the meeting had been called to get
the sense OF the people regarding one or
more lines of electric railway over the
Heights, and that there were capitalists
who stood ready to construct and equip
railways along the lines that might be
agreed upon with the necessary help to
do so.
Mr.. Workman strongly advocated the
construction of 4 substantial viaduct
across the river. to which he would SUBJ
scribe one-third OF the cost.
Several of the prominent citizens made
pointed remarks. and upon motion Il
committee of five was appointed to con
fer with the first company that would
construct and equip an electric railway to
and through Boyle Heights by July lst.
1896. This committee consisted of Messrs.
Parkhill Schenck, Stumpf, Workman
and Ruddy.
