OFFICIALS HAVE OBJECTION

If under the terms Of the bill the
commission should be created its work
would be speedily finished. The West
ern Pacific could apply for lease of
such frontage as it's plans for ter
minal require, and the Southern Pacific
could do the same. There is no room
at this strip for a third road to gain
access without virtual confiscation of
the Southern Pacific Company's West
Oakland yards property. With COM
promise over the Western Pacific ter
minal figtt, the Southern Pacific un-
doubtedly will find a way out of the
ENHANCEMENT at the Peralta-street slip,
where the Western Pacific must cross
from its lands eastward to get TO the
training wall fill
This would of necessity form a part
of any agreement which the two COM
panies may have reached, as without
a connecting crossing at Peralta street
the fill would be OF no use as a ter
minal.
THIS is EXPLANATORY
Objections to the bill as passed have
been raised by Mayor Mott and City
Attorney McElroy of Oakland, who
went to Sacramento last evening to
make their points. They contend that
Commission to make leases, willy nilly,
instead Of leaving a free hand to the
board in that matter. If this conten-
ton be true it lends further circum-
stantial evidence to the reported set
tlement between the two corporations.
The Mayor before leaving said he
thought the bill could be modified in
such a way as to overcome the objec
ton and become benefit to the city OF
Oakland. He said that he knew moth
ing as to the settlement of the railroad
fight.
