SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ROAD.

Contracts Let for Cars and Materials
tor a Steel l&ridge.
SAN Francisco, June 20.-The Direct
ors of the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Valley Railroad met to-day and awarded
contracts for one hundred and fifty cars
and materials for steel draw bridge at
Stockton. Besides this important action
In the line of construction and equipment
of the Valley railway, they discussed
different propositions for building line
of telegraph along the road, and referred
tie Whole mater back TO the Committee
on Construction.
In awarding the contracts, the board
gave the preference to California manu-
tacturers and material, with the result,
that as far as possible, the work will be
done in California. 1t WAS not possible
to get Wheels brakes or couplings In this
State, SO they must be made and pur-
chased in the East, but the lum Der IN the
cars will be Oregon pine and California
redwood, and all other material en-
ployed will be products OF California.
The amount of money thus to be ex-
pended at home and circulated among
manufacturers, mechanics anu business
men will be about $50, 600 TO 200. The
bridge, which is to be substantial one of
two steel trusses, each one covering
clear way of seventy-tive feet and joined
over the central pier, or draw, will be
built in san Francisco and moved to
Stockton piecemeal. 1t represents large
outlay at home, and will give employ
ment 10 mechanics who live here.
The contract for the ears was awarded
TO Ohm Hammond Il Co. of San Fran
cisco, although their bid was $1,000
higher than that of other competitors.
They were the only firm, however, that
agreed to use California materials in the
construction of cars. The contract for
the steel bridge was awarded TO Healy,
Tibbets q co. OF San Francisco, with
1nrina clOSa to -. 500.
