TERMINAL AND TRACTION
In the council yesterday the Terminal and
Traction railways joined in an application
for a franchise in this city, which will be
found given at length in the report of the
council proceedings. This means that the
Terminal will operate its cars over it's cleo
trio system under construction over the
Traction lines as far as Hill and Third
streets in this city. Vice President L. E..
Gibbon of the Terminal said yesterday that
deal had been arranged, by which passen
gers from suburban points on his road
would have the advantage of transfers on
the traction system at no additional cost.
The Terminal will commence in a week or so
the work of electrizng its Glendale road
and will then commence on the Pasadena
line if the franchise matter can be perfected.
1t is proposed eventually to electrze the
whole system.
THE HARBOR WORK
With the arrival of the tug Hercules and
the supply of lumber, machinery and tools
which she brought with her, actual work on
the San Pedro breakwater may be said to
have commenced. Twelve men have been at
work at the quarries at San Clemente for
some days, and this morning So more will
go over on the tug. Before the transporting
of the stone can commence, breakwater
will have to be built at San Clemente for the
purpose of protecting the barges. These
will be l30x36 feet and will hold 600 tons of
rock each. They will be built at San Pedro
as fast as they can be put together. 1t is
intended to build two large tugs of $50 horse
power each at San Pedro as well, as the
Hercules is too small to do much of the
heavier work. All doubt has been removed,
now about the actual prosecution of the
work, and in consequence San Pedrans are
jubilant and the town is livelier than it has
been Tor many years past. Contractor Neu
will be here soon after the holidays and will
bring his family with him, making his home
here until the great work is completed.
Foreman Anunsen will stay at the works con-
stantly now, spending most of his time at
the more important preparations on the
island.
TERMINAL NOT SOLD
A report was current for some days past
that the Terminal railway had been sold to
the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe officials denied
it, and Vice President T. +. Gibbon positive
ly asserted that there is no truth in it, There
are some reasons why the little line would be
of advantage to the Santa Fe, as it would
give it perfect entrance to San Pedro, but
the latter has this and can continue to have
it, by trackage arrangement with the Ter
minal similar to the one made with the
Southern Pacific, by which it has the use of
the line from Mojave to Bakersfield. The
only portion of the Terminal of any use to
the larger line would be the San Pedro line,
and this could be purchased and then leave
the former owners good system of road for
for suburban traffic. From the
best sources, however, there does not appear
to be the slightest foundation for the report,
though it is true that this is the season of
surprises in railway manipulation.
