The DaVie Transportation
Company Asked to Pay
Three Notes.
Corporation and the Amounts
Demanded.

a. J. McGoyern, through Collector D. A.
Curtin, has brought suit in the Justice
Court against the 119 stockholders of the
Davie Transportation Company, the ferry
line that piled between the City and Oak
land via the creek route and first reduced
fares to cents.
The action is based on three promissory
notes aggregating $50O0 All the notes are
dated October 18, 1898, and bear per cent
interest. The first note is for $1,000. and
the others are for $500 each. They are
signed by John L. Davie, president, and
J. NJ. Bassett, secretary, of the company.
The money was borrowed to help the COM
p any lease boats and purchase material
for its business.
In the heyday of the rivalry the names
OF the stockholders of the opposition ferry
company were held IN the strictest secrecy.
The reason gwen was that the Southern
Pacific Company would use every means
socially, in a business way and other
wise, to force them from assistingthe Davie
Company. These names are now given
out. Editors Frank Motif, W. L. Dargie,
and lot of other well-known Oakland and
San Francisco residents, are among the
holders of the stock. At the time the
Davie Transportation Company passed out
of existence A. 54 shares of its stock had
been subscribed for. AS the sum sued for
is $1,000, with interest, the plaintiff is try
ing to force an assessment of nearly IL
cents on each share of stock.
