Reports of Traffic Agreement
Are Confirmed Here This
Morning

Reports that the Western Pacific
and the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern
electric railroad have entered into a
traffic agreement whereby the former
will run its trains over the Oakland,
Antioch and Eastern tracks from Sac
ramento to Oakland were confirmed
this morning, as published exclusively
in The Call yesterday. The electric
road applied to the city commissioners
of Sacramento yesterday for a fran
chise that will connect it with the
Western Pacific and allow the lines
jointly to compete with the Southern
Pacific for freight transportation be-
tween that point and Oakland.
WILL REDUCE RUNNING TINE
The Western Pacific will thus be
between the capital and Oakland and
the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern will
have through freight connections with
the east. President Walter Arnstein
of the electric road said that his COM
pany was extending it's territory as
rapidly as possible.
The franchise provides for double
broad gauge electric track and elec-
trio equipment from a point in NJ
street, the Sacramento entry of the
Oakland, Antioch and Eastern, south
in Second street to the intersection of
Third and r streets. The franchise is
for term of 35 years, and was signed
by Samuel Naphtaly, vice president or
the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern
The estimated cost of construction is
$4,000.
WILL PURCHASE SYSTEM
Meanwhile it is said in financial
circles that the Western Pacific will
purchase the electric road when it can
raise the necessary cash or guaran-
teed bonds. IT was learned also that
during President Bushs visit several
days ago the Oakland Antioch and
Ea stern people were offered price
for their holdings. which, however,
was not high enough.
