GOULD TO INVADE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Report That Grading Has Begun
on Line Into Los
Angeles.

Reports have been numerous as to
an invasion by Gould of southern Cali.

trance has been pointed out. A dis.
patch from Santa Monica gives the
ronte into Los Angeles by way of the
extension of the Malibu branch line
and this as considered feasible pro
ject.
The information contained in the dis.
patch is as follows:
As quickly as the outfit can be as.
sembled, 500 teamsters are to begin
grading for the extension of the Mali.
bu branch line, which, 1t is believed
is TO afford the Western Pacific line

on excellent authority that the old
Santa Fe right Of way through Ingle-
wood will be the avenue through
which the Gould line will reach Los
Angeles. This road is now under lease
TO the Los Angeles Pacific and used for
an electric freight road, While Off.
Gals of the road refuse TO express
themselves on the subject, it is said
that the lease can be lifted and that
probability points to its requirement
by the Gould interests for an entrance
into the metropolis
This IS the first intimatlon given as
to how Gould will gam way into the
