THE VALLEY ROAD
Establishes Its Terminus on Point Rich
mond-Dsejs Filled

mond-Dee1s Filed
SAN FRANCISCO. March 20-Robert
Watt, vice-president of the Valley road,
stated tonight that the deeds placed up
on record during the day at Martinez
could now be accepted by the public
as meaning that the long talked of valley
terminus would be established on Point
Richmond.
I'VE have secured the land for the
terminus and will build there with all
possible rapidity," said Mr.. Watt.
Oakland stands some little chance now
of being made a terminus if we ever
.confine Point Richmond to freighting
only. BEYOND that we have settled on
Point Richmond absolutely and finally
and bought 1t with every intention of
establishing there the terminus so long
planned for. 1t will be the terminus for
both the freighting and passenger traf-
flc for the present"
Six deeds were placed on record at
Martinez and as Mr.. Watt explains, they
make 1t absolutely certain that the
Valley railroad will establish a big
freight depot there. The railroad COM
pany has purchased about fifty acres,
including all of the Point Richmond
peninsula and a strip along the route to
be followed in reaching the point. There
Is deep water at Point Richmond and
at comparatively small expense the Val
ley road can have as good wheat ship
ping facilities as the Southern Pacific
enjoys at Port Costa and much nearer
to San Francisco. 1t appears to be the
intention of the railroad management
to make a second Port Costa where the
railroad can handle freight. If 1t pleases
1t ca nerect its shops there. The estab-
llshment of a terminus at Point Rich
mond seems to be treated by the COM
pany as something entirely Independent
of the passenger terminus in Oakland
Point Richmond is considered a place
of vantage to be gained whether or not
the line runs to that city The Point
Richmond move is not hostile to Oak
land by any means.
