GREENWOOD SEEKS
RIGHT Of WAY
Suit to Condemn Property
in Alameda Indicates He
Means to Build Railway
PUZZLE is UNSOLYED

OAKLAND, Jan 2-F NJ Green
wood, who obtained a franchise from
the city of Alameda in March to run
a steam railroad over Clement avenue
as part Of his project to build a rail-
way line from Hayward to San Fran
cisco, filed a condemnation suit against
T. L. Barker, an Oakland capitalist,
and Linwood Palmer today for a right
of way over tracts in which the avenue
has not been opened up.
The condemnation case will renew
speculation as to whether Greenwood
is not acting for some big transconti-
mental concern in building a road from
Hayward to San Francisco. He has
thus far preferred to leave the public
in doubt as to his ultimate purpose.
1t has been suggested that he was act
ing for James ]. Hill and again that
he was acting for the Western Pacific
interests in securing terminal facili-
ties on San Francisco Bay.
Greenwood is a San Francisco capi-
talist. According to the plans set forth
in his complaint. the company will
build a mole out from the Alameda
shore parallel with the Southern Pa
cific narrow gauge mole and about 200o
feet south Of it. A ferry line to San
Francisco will be established.
The main line of the proposed road
is to run in Clement avenue through
out it's length in Alameda. A branch
line win extend along Broadway to a
point at or near the High-street bridge.
The right of way on Clement avenue
has a width of sixty feet.
At the same time that Greenwood
was applying for his franchise last
spring, Attorney w. H. H. Hart was
seeking a franchise in opposition to
him. 1t was supposed that they repre-
sented rival railroad interests that pre-
ferred TO conceal their identities.
Greenwood won out before the City
Trustees, but was required to put up a
bond of $4,000 as a guaranty of his
good faith.
He had not complied with this re-
quirement at the time of the fire in
San Francisco and an extension of time
was subsequently granted him. The
bringing of the condemnation suit to-
day is evidence that he intends to pro-
ceed with the building of the road.
Attorney Oliver Ellsworth represents
him in the action.
