RAILWAY FACILITIES

Glendale is particularly fortunate in
the possession of transportation facilt-
ties. The Glendale branch of the Pa
cihc Electric company is one of the
finest in the world. both as to trackage
and equipment; they have a thirty
minute service and will soon inaugu-
rate a twenty minute schedule. The
present running time between Glendale
and Sixth street and Broadway in Los
Angeles is only twenty-five minutes,
and the travel has recently increased
to such an extent that two and three
car trains are necessary during the
morning and evening hours to accom-
modate the crowds. General Manager
Joseph Mcmillan stated recently that
the Glendale line returned a larger net
profit than the same number of miles
anywhere else in the whole Pacific
Electric system.
The Los Angeles Railway company
(the yellow Cars) nave a first class
double track electric line operating be-
tween Los Angeles and Eagle Rock
valley. and last March an independent
electric line was put in operation con-
Meeting Glendale cars with the yellow
cars in Eagle Rock from which line
transfers are issued to any and all
parts of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-17

In addition to this the Salt Lake
Railway company is operating a steam
line from Los Angeles through the
center of Glendale to NeIdugo park,
and it is confidently expected that this
road will be electrified or that gasoline
motors will be placed in operation on
the same within six months. This will
give the citizens of Glendale the choice
of three different routes to reach the
city.
The stranger wishing to reach Glen
dale can take the Glendale cars at the
Pacific Electric building, corner of
Sixth and Main streets, or take the
Eagle Rock valley cars anywhere on
Broadway and change cars at Eagle
Rock for Glendale over the Indepen-
dent line. Tourists usually come one
way and go back another, which makes
one of the most picturesque trips in
Southern California. Cars leave Los
Angeles every thirty minutes on both
roads E. D. GOODE,
There is talk outside railroad cir
cles of an extension of one of the ex-
listing lines serving Glendale of an
extension TO Lankershim: also through
La Canada and Crescenta to Sunland
and around east side Verdugo range
and back through Burbank. encircling
the entire valley. EDITOR.l

of their respective clientage is evident
from the fact that their combined de-
posits as shown by recent statements
are approximately 100000.
While it is believed that this stu
alton Is very gratifying to both inst-
tutions, they fully realize that the
growth of the community requires that
every accommodation be granted that
safety and conservatism will allow.
The one obstacle to a moe wonder
ful growth for both is the fact that
so many of our citizens are in business
or have employment in Los Angeles
and connect themselves with some of
the large city banks, thus diVerting
from their own what might and should
be used in its upbuilding.
Were these funds thus deposited
locally. it is believed that the total
deposits of Glendale banks would ex-
ceed $3.50 900. DAN CAMPBELL.
