THE SEVERAL ROUTES.
How THE New ROAD WOULD
ENTER THE CITY.

E. G. Sessions is one of the best informed
of Oakland's citizens with regard to the
railroad situation, and one of the foremost
workers in behalf of the new order of
things. Oakland" he said yesterday, ''is
eager to welcome the new railroad. She
placed limitations, within which it was
stipulated it must come, merely as means
of stimulating the subscriptions to the
stock 1t is not thing which the railroad
will shy at, for if it intends coming to
Oakland at all it must be to its advantage
to come to the business portion of it.
To seek deep water at the Berkeley front
would require a long wharf, and to run
round by Alameda would be scarcely less
profitable. The several proposed routes
into the city are: the Laundry Farm line.
at the south, which contemplates tunnel
at it's further extension, and coming i'm
along the south front on possible extern
sion to Alameda Point; the Salt Lake snr-
vey formerly worked up by r.. L. G..
Steele, and which also provided for an an.
proach from the south, reaching the water
in the same way, and the California and
Nevada line, which runs up San Pablo
Creek and is controlled by +. M. Smith.
1t would come into the city along the front
from the northp

WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.
RIGHTS OF WAY AND WHARF PRIV
LEGES CAN BE SECURED.

Samuel B. Mckee said: $50 far as
reaching the water front and getting
wharf facilities is concerned l don't think
there will be any difficulty. The California
and Nevada had no trouble about running
out their wharf. When Fair built the
narrow-gauge mole the Southern Pacific
brought suit to enioin him, but rather than
let it come to trial they compromised.
The waterfront troubles are not going to
prevent the new road from gettingsaIl the
necessary privileges if it comes to Oakland.
Yet ] think that the terms of the SUBJ
scription list make the area in which the
road must come too narrow. Oakland
should be satisfied to get the road any
where between the creek and Berkeley and
should place no restrictions on the valley
road. But there is not the slightest doubt
that Oakland will do all it can to help it
along. This is supposed to be the greatest
Southern Pacific county in the State, but
the way in which that company has con-
trolled things is causing a reaction.
Every advantage is in favor of the
roads coming here. 1t is the shortest
route from the Sacramento and San Joa-
gum valleys; it taps the best territory on
the way, such as the Niles and Livermore
country and Contra Costa County, and,
what is the greatest advantage of all, it
Will have the ferry traffic in the bay.
Every one knows that the ferry is the
best paying piece of property that the
Southern Pacific has"
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-26

right of way through the city and securing
terminus for the new road is the least
difficult of all the features now before the
people. How will we get a terminus ?
Why, we will just go down to the water
front and slice it off. The water front be-
longs to the city of Oakland, and the city
should be able to exercise its right in the
premises.
eff it could be so arranged, 1 should pre-
fer TO see the line enter the city by the
Laundry farm Line, or somewhere in that
direction asit would give the road wider
and more profitable territory. 1t would
take in the whole length of the city.
'The local traffic is very important
factor, and it is to the interests of the new
road to maintain ferry where the greatest
amount of patronage can be derived.
Therefore | should think that as a business
proposition the road should pass through
this city and have its terminus on our
water front, connecting by ferry with San
Francisco.
81 should not think that the traffic of
Alameda would justify the men at the
head of the enterprise in maintaining a
ferry there without some connection with
Oakland
Oakland, it is true, has been sleeping,
but now seems wide awake to the inn
portance of uniting with San Francisco in
building the San Joaquin road. Nature
has done much for the people of Oakland,
and they are willing to allow nature to do
1t all without acting themselves. There is
no reason why we should not have a large
city If the people would act in unison"
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-26

run up to between 100000 and 81 900, 900.
s'We all feel that Oakland is the natural
terminus on account of its situation, which
is much like that of Newark, opposite New
York, where all the railroads come in.
This is and is bound always to be the
chief residential place about San Francisco
harbor. We are sure to have large pop
ulation, and the ferry part of the plan OF a
road having its land terminus here would
be most valuable. The strong feeling here
over the coming of the road is not only a
matter of sentiment. Trade has been very
dull and every one has felt the depression.
Now we feel that release is coming from
the thralldom of the Southern Pacific and
we will welcome it, not only with money
but with sentiment of hospitality which
means that we are at their command in
every necessary way.

wharf privileges l don't anticipate any

WHAT CAN BE DONE
WITH OAKLAND's FACILITIES FOR
BUILDING A GOOD HARBoR.

Charles o. Alexander, the ex-Harbor
Commissioner said: 81 don't believe that
the position of Oakland is as bad as many
suppose Even if the water front is deter
mined not to belong to the city or the State,
by condemnation proceedings we could get
what we want as understand it. But if
it is decided that it is the property of the
State we should have harbor commits
sion here such as they have in San Fran
cisco to build seawall, fill in the land
reclaimed and receive the large revenue
that would come to the State. There would
be large area of the land which could be

necessitate the building of warehouses
The facilities of Oakland and its accessible
ity are so much greater than those of Port
Costa that all the matchmaking done
there now would come to Oakland. She
would become a distributing point for
goods coming to the harbor of San Fran
cisco to be sent all over the United States.
Oakland has great future While a
member of the Board of Public Works l
gave good deal of study to the harbor,
and believe that if the Government would
expend some money in building training
wall west and in running in ship canals
here and there, the Oakland harbor toward
the west could be made the most sheltered
and easily accessible in the world. Goods
could be transferred directly from ship to
cars. There are thousands of acres which
could be utilized in this way"
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-26
ALL THEY NEED.
OAKLAND WILL OFFER MUCH MORE
THAN MONEY.

M. j. Keller, president of the Board of
Trade, said: II can say that we appreci-
ate the Importance of the railroad to the
State even If it does not come to Oakland
at all, and we realize the benefit and i'm
portance very thoroughly of having its
terminus here. So anxious am L to see the
land terminus on this side of the bay any,
where that feel that the committee has
MADE mistake in drawing the lines so
closely as to territory within which the
lions. If the road is built to Oakland the
nearer the business part and the Oakland
harbor 1t comes the better, and the greater
the support it would get from property
owners.
II think, too, that the new company

CONDEMN, IF NECESSARY.
WATERFRONT TITLES WILL Nor
BAR THE WAY

E. A. Heron, member of the terminal
committee, said: ''There will be very lit
tie difficulty about getting through to
water. Any doubt about the titles to the
water front is not going to do any harm.
Condemnation proceedings can be entered
into, if necessary, but they are not apt to
be required. We should be as liberal in
this matter as business judgment will per-
nit us to be. Oakland should subscribe at
least $250,0O0 to the stock, and the citizens
should do all they can to secure good
rights of way, and l have no doubt that
they will. Oakland feels the necessity for
the road and appreciates the situation
thoroughly, and l am sure will come out
all right"
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-26

the right to sell the water front to Car
pentier is absurd. The city held the water
front in trust for future generations, and
could no more dispose of it than it could
the air or the sunlight.
$50 far as Oakland is concerned, think
the road will be great thing for the city
and the citizens should come forward with
a large subscription. l don't think the
road ought to be confined to any one loca-
ton, but the nearer it comes to the center
of the city the better.
Oakland should be a very large city. 1t
is splendidly located, has a fine climate,
and everything, in fact, that should make
it thriving place, but it lacks enterprise.
! believe, however, that this new road is
the beginning of new chapter in our his
tory.
81 believe that we, in common with the
entire coast, are about entering upon an
era Of prosperity such as we have not seen
in years, and it is just such enterprises as
the San Joaquin road that is bringing out
this prosperity"
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-26
CAN GET ANY POINT.
RIGHT OF WAY CAN Be OBTAINED
TO ANY PART OF THE BAY.

Frank j. Moffitt, who is a member of the
committee, said: II believe that any
point on the border of the bay or creek can
be obtained for terminal facilities for the
new road. A right of way to tidewater
ought to be easy to obtain considering the
present feeling of the people. Our mer-
chants and business men are contributing
more literally than thought they would.
l believe that Oakland will do all that is
expected of her in a financial way.

made by acquiring the California and Ne

owned by F. NJ Smith, comprises a par

P. E. Bowles, vice-president of the First
National Bank, said: "The movement has
been taken up with great enthusiasm by
every one interested in the city, and they
all appreciate fully the Importance of get
ting the terminus of the new road here.

DIRECTORS.

Ex-Mayor John R. Glascock said: 1.-THE
feeling is all one way here. This is the
natural point for the terminus of the road
in every way. The directors must, of
course, appreciate the value of the ferry
between here and San Francisco, and that
should have much to do with determining
them in our favor. What they want is as
direct route as they can get to San Fran
cisco, and that would be by Oakland, and
am sure that they will find that we can
give them every necessary facility without
much trouble -

LAUNDRY FARM ROUTE.
The ROAD SHOULD RUN THROUGH
THE HEART OF OAKLAND.

William J. Dingee, who has been twenty
years in Oakland, said:
think the committee will be able to
get right OF way through the city with
out the necessity of condemnatory pro-
ceedings The citizens are all anxious for
the road and no obstacle viii be placed in
the way of setting apart a street for the
purpose. The present Council will support
this idea, and l hope the incoming Council
will do likewise.

Confident of Success.

w. V. Witcher of Pierce & Co., who is
secretary of the committee, was so actively
engaged in pushing subscription matters
that he had no time to talk to the reporter.
He is giving all his time to the matter, and
is one of the most determined men on the
committee. He is confident of success.

it, and that is that Oakland, while it has a
number of available points for terminus
or for termini for the new road, is urging
none. Its main interest is to have the
railroad come here within the limits pre-
scribed. We shall let it choose its own ter
minus within those limits, not attempt to
make real estate boom nor embarrass it
in any manner whatsoever"

MANY OUTLETS.
SEVERAL WAYS OF REACHING THE
WATER FRONT.

William Winnie, a member of the COM
mittee, said: "As to getting an outlet
there will be no trouble. There are several
ways of reaching deep water in Oakland.
Naturally the road should come into the
corporate limits of the city in order to get
the ferry patronage. Offering this to the
new road is really the greatest inducement,
and no other place has it. Then in every
other way necessary Oakland will do all it
can -
