man, of the San Diego, Pacific
and Observation-Disclosures Meeting

In response to the request of j. c.
Long, representing the san Diego Citi-
zens' railway committee. a number of
prominent business men assembled last
evening at the office of the secretary
of the chamber of commerce to have
the project presented TO them. Among
those present were J. II. Bacon. j. r.

Mr.. Long, in behalf of the citizens of
San Diego, stated that they had agreed
to advance $1,000 to enable the COM
pany to place its stock with railway
men, and had also given terminal IA
cilities. He asked that Salt Lake do
the same.
The gentleman then gave way to
George w. Vroman, president of the

way mems railroad" who proceeded
to outline the project in exactly the
same manner as al the meeting Tues

the safeguards that were thrown
around the stockholders to pre-
vent the road from falling into the
hands of monopolists, and told of the
route that would be followed.
Much discussion ensued as to the
feasibility of the project, and the gen
