The company has a franchise to lay

II appealed for and was granted the
privilege to raise the grade 10 inches.
Instead of the 10 inches it took 10.
Complaint was made and the track was
lowered to the 10 inches. Today. how
ever, ii was found that in placing the
ballast the employees had again raised
the track and 1t IS six inches higher
than it ought to be and affords much
inconvenience to travellers.
The trustees complained, but it did
no good. They threatened TO tear UP
the track and that was met with hur-
ried call for the head officers from
Sacramento and they are now on the
way. Unless the track is lowered to-
morrow the trustees win get busy and
there promises to be a tieup of travel
on the Yuba City streetcar lines for a
day or so IL this action is taken.

j. w. Leayitt and Company
Will Handle Popular Car
in California
Firm Makes Contracts for More
Than Million and a Half
Dollars Worth of Cars
By r. r. L'HOMMEDIEU

The exclusive announcement in The
Call July % of the first big deal OF
automobiles of the season, amounting
to more than 100000 was yesterday
publicly announced by ]. w. Leavitt &
Co. The contract in question was signed
with the Overland motor car company
for the agency for the season Of 1910
for that part of California north OF
Bakersfield to the Oregon line. Leavitt
& Co. have contracted for 400 Overland
cars and 100 Marions.
The company also announced the
closing of a contract with the manu-
facturers of the Stoddard- Dayton cars
for at least 200 Stoddard Daytons for
the season, and also closed with the
REQ manufacturers for 400 Reos of one,
two and four cylinder cars. This means
ffrom a conservative standpoint that
Leavitt & Co., to fulfill their contracts,
will have to transact business that
will mean a million and a half dollars
in the gross. The company, which has
also been handling an extensive bicycle
business, realizing the magnitude of
the trade in automobiles the next IL
months, has sold out the bicycle bust
ness conducted on the other side of
the bay and will concentrate its SELL
ing force in disposing of the motor
cars contracted for.
This company, which is one of the
most conservative in automobile row.
having taken up such expensive obli-
cations. points to the fact that the
Pacific coast, and especially California,
will enjoy one of the greatest years of
prosperity in this particular line of
business.
If one firm proposes to do this
amount of business, what must be the
aggregate of the whole motor car
trade. including the automobile dealers.
the sundry houses and the tiremen.
The Call must again bring the fact to
the notice of the chamber of commerce
and other financial sedate bodies that,
In all their deliberations for the adj
vancement of the interests of the Pa
cif1c coast, and especially California,
they have failed to seek the co-opera-
ton of these men who are handling
business that bears comparison with
that of any other line.
IT might be said that the automobile
business is running riot; that the
dealers in the modern vehicle are MAX
ing transactions that run into the mill
lions; yet. with all that these handlers
of such large amounts are not con-
suited on questions of Importance to
the welfare of the coast, and especially
or the state. There is no question that
the older commercial bodies would be
benefited and the interests of Cali
fornia, especially, greatly advanced in
the east and in Europe if the motor
car dealers were made to realize the
Importance of the fact that in all their
transactions with the outside world
we have here what is fast becoming
acknowledged one of the money CEN
ters.
