men who operate the cars of this great
p. p. system; for the conductors and
motormen are not rough, boorish fell
lows, but for the most part men of
high intelligence and culture, and a
desirable element of society; for many
of them are college bred, and know
all the niceties of social life; and the
courteous treatment accorded passen-
gers is subject of general remark by
strangers and home people alike.
These men belong to no union; are
never in discord with the company's
management; are well paid and con-
tented.
An important feature of the Pacific
Electric system, the leading street car
system in the west, is a fourteen-mile
four-track entrance to the city of Los
Angeles, built on a private right-of-
way reaching to within a short dis
tance of the terminal station. This
four-track route affords a highspeed
terminal entrance for the four double
track divisions, which extend south
and southwest of Los Angeles to Whit
tier, Santa Ana, the ocean beaches and
the Los Angeles harbor.
The principal freight handling center
of the Pacific Electric railway is the
large new freight station at Eighth
and Hemlock streets, Los Angeles. On
account of the crowded condition of
the streets in Los Angeles nearly all
freight trains are handled between
1890 and 5 a. m. AS many as 100
loaded cars are taken across the city
in one night. Some of the special
sources of traffic are milk. fruit. sugar
beets, garden stuff, lumber and crushed
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

Dayton. Ohio ..... $4,000 155
Totals. 100000 SO 1928
Thus 1t will be seen that Los Angeles
with a population of 325,000 operates
more interurban trains per day than
the nine cities mentioned above COM
b,ned, with total population of nearly
100000: and the comparison thus
shown is greatly accentuated by the
knowledge that both passengers and
freight are carried on the Pacific Elec-
trio lines at less charge than in any
of the above towns; and there is
much more frequent service. Such fast
service is only made possible by the
extreme care of the company in guard
ing against accidents; for the Pacific
Electric railway employs every modern
safety device known in watch towers,
inter-locking plants, etc.; making IL
as safe to operate a fourtrack system
as ordinarily is experienced in other
localities where there is but a single
track. One of the distinguishing fea-
lures of this great railway system Is
its broad right-of-w magnificent
rock ballasted, and oiled roadbed;
bridges and culverts OF latest engineer
ing skill; stations of typical California
architecture; and its superior equip
ment of large, handsomely upholstered,
easy riding cars. Los Angeles by rea-
son of such great development and
growth of its trolley system is an ideal
convention city; and to intersperse
business with pleasure it is so easy
to reach every point of interest from
this great city.
An appreciative public will not deny
few words of praise to the platform

rock. There are two large rock crush
ers on the lines which furnish material
for the street paving in Los Angeles
and also for use in construction work
along the ocean shore. The company
has several agreements with the pur
chasers of rock for night delivery at
different points on the line. One of
these agreements includes thirty cars
per day. About twenty carloads of
sugar beets are handled per day over
the new ten-mile connecting line be-
tween Huntington Beach and Santa
Ana. Huntington Beach is on the
double-track line which parallels the
ocean, and Santa Ana is inland about
ten miles at the terminus of a dou-
ble-track branch extending to Los An
geles. The best traffic lasts for five or
six months each year. Each day two
cars of beets, in addition to the local
delivery of twenty cars, are hauled to
Los Angeles for delivery to the South
ern Pacific railway for through ship
ment. The beet cars are loaded through
traps from farmers wagons. During
four months of the year four carloads
of berries per day are carried into
Los Angeles. The new Huntington
Beach line passes though a large cell
ery-raising district and thus is the
source of considerable freight destined
for the commission houses in Los An
geles. Twice each week the electric
freight trains make connection with
the steamers to and from San Diego;
once each week a steamer from Sc
attic, and twice a day with the boats
running to Catalina island.

total assessed property valuation of
Los Angeles county is greater than
that of Cook county, Illinois, with it's
great city of Chicago.
Don't consider that the trolley sys-
tenn is solely for pleasure jaunts, for
rapid transportation facilities and
business of physicians. dentists, at
torneys and other professional men;
so it is possible in time of great need
to get the most skilled medical or
other service in a very short time from
Los Angeles, though you reside in a
village without any of these esteemed
gentlemen; that is, if you live on the
Pacific Electric Railway.
But of all interests most affected,
the greatest benefits are conferred on
the schools. for the trolley system is
directly responsible for the extension
of educational facilities in and about
Los Angeles, and a radius of twenty
five miles is tributary to the best
schools and colleges in California.
There are twenty-six routes included
in all Los Angeles trolley lines, and a
total departure of trains on all trolley
lines from Los Angeles is 141S. To ap-
preciate just what this really means
we append a comparative statement
compiled by competent authority:

The change in the time card Of the
Farmers line will be a great benefit
to the merchants Of this city as 1t will
be the cause Of bringing q great many
shoppers to the city who will be able
to return to their homes the same day.
In the past the train has always left
Devils Lake in the morning and re-
turned in the afternoon thus. making
Sit impossible for out of town shoppers
to come to the city without staying
over night and this expense connected
with others, made IT.: impossible for
many to come and do their trading
here. AS it is now the train arrives
in the city shortly before noon and
leaves late in the AFTERNOON, giving
out of town visitors at least four hours
to do their trading and return to their

ule will prove a big benefit to the
