THE SALT LAKE ROAD Committee Work Done Yesterday Fifteen Hundred Names to the Memorial ON A SURE RASIS AT LAST No Doubt Tbat a tteneral Law Can Be Passed EfMayor Workman Who Has Traveled Over the Route Talks The Country Is Rich In Iron and Coal Deposits and the Valleys Are Very Fertile SIGNATURES SECURED 1499 A few of the people interested in the building of the bait Lake Road started out yesterday to secure 2000 names to the peti tion, which will be taken to Sacramento by the committee of twenty to fortify them in the fight they will wage at the capitol to secure the passage of the bill which will make the construction of the Salt Lake road possible. Most of the names which appear upon tiie memorial are of promi nent influential merchants and business men, who were pleased at an opportunity to place themselves on record as favoring the project. The list can be found on the counter of The Herald business office, and every one should sign it or fill in the blank in this issue of The Herald. Cut it out and mail it to The Herald office at once. Yesterday afternoon the committee ap pointed at the citizens' mass meeting on Friday evening, to further the Salt Lake road project met in the rooms of the Para Commission in tbe City Hall. Frank G. Finlayson presided and Nathan Cole, Jr., acted as secretary. Mr. Finlayson said that there is no question but that the meaure desired to be passed is special legislation, and he doubted very much if it would stand in the courts. "Section 3 of the proposed bill pro vides," said he, that the trustees and their successors shall be the trustees of the said fund, and shall have control and disbursement of the same, etc." This seems to be in close conflict with the pro visions of the Constitution. In Farwell vs. The County of Los An geles the Supreme Court held that the pro visions of the charter of the City of Los Angeles, directing the Council to appoint us depositor of the public moneys such bank as offered highest rate of interest therefor, and directing the city's money to be deposited with such bank was in conflict with Section 13 of Article XL Tbe court then said: "Carrying out the intention of Section 13, Section 16 of Ar ticle 111 provides that all moneys of any municipal corporation coming into the hands of any municipal officer thereof shall immediately be deposited with the Treasurer, or other legal depository, to the credit of such city, town or other corpora tion respectively, for the benefit of the fund to which they respectively belong. The said Treasurer is the one "by which the custodian of public money is usually designated, and he is a public officer, and the phrase 'other legal depository,' is clearly used to designate such public Officer, whether he be called in any par ticular municipality Treasurer or by some other name." In Davis vs. The City of Los Angeles, it was held that the provisions of the street opening act of 1889, providing for a com mission for assessing the value of property needed for the street, and to do other things in connection with tbe opening of a street was not in contradiction of Sec tion 13 of Article XI of the Constitution, because it delegates to special commission the power to perform municipal functions, but conceding, without deciding, that the opening or widening of public highways within a city are municipal functions, it does not appear that such functions were delegated to the commission. The Com missioners are simply made the agents of the municipalities to assist them in open ing streets. They act under the direction of The city, and their acts are not binding pr effective until the same are approved 4nd ronfirmed by the City Council. There fore the act done is the act of the city at Urge, and not of the Commissioners. *Bnt tbe board of trustees provided for by the proposed bill are vested with pow ers not made subject to the direction of the county authorities. No provision is made for an appeal from their acts or decisions to the Board of Supervisors, and power to enter into contracts and manage the construction of the road is taken out of the legislative body of the county, and vested in a special commission. The only power the Board of Supervisors lias is to put a veto upon the drawing of money from the fund in the hands of the trus tees by refusing to pass an order there for." Mr. Finlayson said that the proposed measure would be special legislation and tho law should be made general. The difference between the Mathews bill and the proposed measure is that the former provides for the construction of a railroad by a county only within its own limits, while the latter permits a county to build a railroad across the whole state. Mr. Longley said that lie was opposed to making the law general, ami that he thought it would be as well to have the committe decide what to do after it ar rived at Sacramento,and it was decided to do so. Captain Cross stated that the proposed bill had been forwarded to Asssemblyman Bulla at Sacramento. He was advised to introduce it at once, before the expira tion of the fiftieth day of the session, after which time it would require a two-thirds vote to permit any bill to be introduced. Mr. Longley said that lie had written a letter to Mr. Bulla on behalf of the citi zens, telling him to introduce the bill, ami if it is decided subsequently to make the measure general it can be amended at any time. After a little discussion it was decided that most of the members of the commit tee will leave for Sacramento today, and tbe others will depart tomorrow so that all tbe members will be on hand Tuesday. Mr. Davis appeared before the meeting land stated that nearly every one ap niroaclied signed the petition favoring the feialt Lake road, which is to be forwarded to the capital to fortify our representatives. In a recent speech J. M. C. Marble dis cussed the Salt Lake road proposition as follows: "For years the people of Los Angeles have been anxious for a railroad to Salt Lake, and although many of the wealth iest and best men of the country, influ ential in railroad circles and in'national politics, and versed in railroad construc tion, have been trying for its accomplish ment, they have so far failed to materi ialze the railway. "California now appears to be on the eve of an important railroad development. Money is going into subscriptions in the north part of the state by millions, and that money they will invest naturally for LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 24, 1895. the benefit of their communities prim* rily, not ours. "No one believes that San Francisco's I permanent objective is Itukersiield, While they are moving to better take care of their San Joaquin valley trade, and ulti mately secure more transcontinental con nections. This city should be equally alive to her interests, and quickly bind to herself by iron bands such road or roads as will contribute noil to the importance and stability of the city; and there is nothing now presenting so important as the Salt Lake Railroad. "This road, aside from its importance to the city, as a great continental line, virtually brings to our doors immense deposits of excellent coal and iron, and mountains of salt, clear as crystal. "How can this long cherlened hope be realized, all usual methods having failed? This question may be answered easily and promptly: Adopt the Cincinnati plan, which has been thoroughly tested. This plan has been fully published, and no doubt generally read, making it un necessary to go into details. It author izes Cincinnati to borrow a sum equal to D per cent of the taxable values of the city,at seven and three-tenths per cent in terest. This would represent a first levy nearly HO per cent greater than required, as the borrowing in this case is based on S per cent. Under tbe law as presented the largest levy that can be made for in terest in any one year is two and one-half mills. This means that the highest charge that can be made to maintain the interest will be 25 cents on every $100 of the assessed taxation on the county tax roll. There are less than 800 taxpayers in this county paying taxes on $10,000 and over, and less than half a dozen that pay on a half million or more, so that very few would have to pay more than fSB per annum tax for this purpose. "The growth of wealth would soon increase the tax rolls, so that the levy proposed would create a sinking fluid that would eventually pay the bonds, were no income derived ' from operating or leasing the road. "The chances are that road would be found so valuable that it would very soon produce an income more than ample to pay not only the interest, but create a sinking fund that would liquidate the bonds. "In tho capo of Cincinnati,the road cost not far from $7,00(1,000. On its com pletion it W as leased for twenty-five years. The amount of rental the first period of rive years was $812,000 per year; second period of live years, $012,000 per year; third period of 'live years, was $1,012,000 I per year; fourth period of live years, was $1,112,000 per year; fifth period of five years, was $1,202,000 per year. ' The fourth period will ho entered on in 18IJ0, and the hist period represents 5 per cent annual interest on an investment of $25,000,000, with a surplus of $12,000 per j annum to pay expenses of the trustees, whose duties are to collect the rents. Every other expense is paid by the lessees, who are bound to maintain the property. The next lease will undoubtedly be at a much higher rate. Comment is unnec essary on such a history. "The Cincinnati Southern Railroad is 888 miles long, and its cost, averages but little over $50,000 per mile, being a Very expensive road to construct. Put little of it is in Ohio, and the first necessity was a bridge across one of our greatest rivers, a ' river that varies over seventy feet below high and low water, a bridge which is j compelled, by Congress to be carried so j high as to not obstruct navigation where ' the largest Steamboats are used. The line is nearly all in Kentucky and Tennessee, where other expensive bridges are re quired, as well as great tunnels and heavy mountain work. "While the Cincinnati Southern was | constructed in dear times, and was one of the most expensive roads in the country to build, the Hue you propose is one of the cheapest lines to construct, and in very cheap times for construction. Tbe Utah Southern road now has in operation to Milford 274 miles; there is completed from Milford this way, ready for the rails, 90 miles; total, 884 miles. "It is safe to calculate that the persons wdio have done so much to come this wav would meet the Los Angeles road halt way; ami this could he positively assured before any expenditures were made by tbe county. "The figures heretofore given prove that the taxation could not be oppressive, were you to conclude that yon would not bor row but put the whole authorization on to the duplicate at once. It would only double your taxes two years, and after that would largely help to pay your taxes. So important an improvement that can be (absolutely built without debt, at so small a charge, should not be lost. Our northern neighbors are doing more than that, voluntarily, now. "Time is too precious now to waste any on side issues. All that is being asked now is a privilege the Legislature should promptly grant. After they grant the privilege, it then remains "to be seen whether the Supervisors can present any thing to the people that will be safe arid valuable enough to secure the vote neces sary to insure the success of the measure, wdnch is fenced around by every reason able safeguard to prevent disappointment. "Should the authorities conclude to lease the property after it is completed, there will be no lack of bidders from several roads now in Salt Lake, and others. "In the matter of coal alone it is worth all it costs the county. Coal is now quoted in Chicago, carried by rail from Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylvania, a greater dis tance, at less than $.'i per gross ton. Is there any reason that it should cost more here from the Utah fields, a less distance? j "Or in the matter of passengers, this line so direct should give us lower rates and faster time. Forty miles an hour by this route would reduce the time to two and one-half dnys between here and Chi cago; and the time is not far distant when we shall have faster schedules, which would give two days on a lifty-mile schedule to Chicago. "And in the matter of our present ton nage, instead of unstable rates that fre quently change and are placed so high as to simply let the producer live, We shall I have steady lower rates that will bring 1 greater tonnage and profit to the roads and more prosperity to the people, and the 30,000 car loads of fruit of the State will not continue to be taxed two or three times higher than some other things not so essential that move in less volume." Ex-Mayor W. H.Workman was seen last evening by a Herald reporter who freely told what he knew about the proposed road, the route which it will take,and the country through which it will pass. "In tbe early fifties, I was engaged in mercantile business in the city and I have lived here since my boyhood. For twenty-one years I was in business for myself and during that time and before the Union and Central Pacific Railroads were built, the Mormons did all of their trading in Los Angeles, carrying their merchandise overland by means of im mense "prairie schooners," on ten-mule teams. At that time they travelled over almost the same route as one of tbe sur veys and the one upon which very likely the Salt Lake road will be built." Large quantities of merchandise were pur chased in Los Angeles and transported to Utah across the country which is attract ing so much attention at the present time. This route bad easy grades, and the travelers were never snowbound ami met CUT II OUt Si IT, 1 SEND IT TO THE HERALD PETITION FOR THE SALT LAKE ROAD To the Honorable, the Members of the Senate and Assembly ol the Slate of California Thirty-first Session: We, the undersigned residents of the county of Los Angeles, do herehy respect, fully petition yuu to exert every honorable effort to secure the passage of a hil authorizing and enabling counties to build railroads upon the basis of the plan known as the Cincinnati plan, as unanimously adopted .it a public meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce. February 22, 1895. Name Residence vith no obstacles from one cml of the me to the other. There were no noun mint to cross, and even nt thnt time the mil.ling of h road over the same country vas frequently spoken of. The Mormons were then, and ever since have been, de sirous of having more immediate connec tion with Southern California, and look upon Han Pedro as a natural ocean outlet. I (irmly believe that when the road is ipened the merchants' trade of Utah will ill come to Los Angeles instead of going to Sun Francisco, New Yo'k and other. Eastern cities as is at present the case. Forty years ago they were pleased to trade here, ami now, With proper railroad facili ties, that trade will naturally return here. In that case Log Angeles would be a large wholesale Center,ana onfl street, lis is now the ease, could not begin to accommodate the large wholesale businesses which would naturally open up. Believing that a road from Los Angeles to Halt Luke, having observed what I did in early days, would eventually be built, lias Induced me to labor assiduously and faithfully for tbe construction of the road. lit 1888 Colonel Isaac Trumbo, a number of other citizens and myself in corporated the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad Company. Colonel Trumbo has been indefatigable in his efforts to se cur the road. "In 18111 I went East over a greater por tion of the route to satisfy myself in re gard to the resources that would be de veloped, taking samples of all kinds of ores, such as gold and silver, copper, gyp sum, iron, coul and manganese. I al-o was across a large mountain of transpar ent rock salt, which, with proper trans portation facilities, would yield a large in come to those who would quarry it. "I also observed immense quantities— mountains, in fact—of the finest quality of building stone, which when once seen would be in large demand all over the country. At present most of our building stone comes from Flagstaff, Arizona, and when this country is developed the stone can be imported at a farcheaper rate. The receiver of the laud office in Salt Lake, to whom I gave a sample of the rock, named the mountain upon his map from which I securea the beautiful piece 'Workman Butte.' "What Los Angeles needs is the build ing of manufactures to give employment :o skilled mechanics and worthy laborers, ivbo are always needed to build a large ;ity. To secure these, cheap fuel and raw material must be obtianable. During my travels across this almost untraveled coun try, I found unlimited quantities of the irery best bituminous coal, which, of jotirse, only needs mining, and as it is I'ight, in the face of a mountain, it can he mined cheaply, and with this road built it can be landed in Los Angeles at $4 or t>s a ton. These coal mines are inexhaust ible, and the coal makes a good quality of :oke. 1 went into a number of tunnels ive or six hundred feet deep, made by the Mormons, and made a critical exam ination, and I am free to say that the coal is of the very best quality. I nitnodiate'ly across the valley and ibout fifteen miles distant from the coal nines ami about 100 miles only from the stty, 1 found mountains of magnetic and tieniatite iron ore. Some of the magnetic »r steel iron ore assayed as high as two per cent. It ran be mined for sonic ;ime at least by simply roiling it down She mountainside into the cars. | The iron, like the coal, is almost, Inex imistiole and OOUld keep iron foundries n the city supplied for centuries. My idea is that the iron ore will be put through furnaces on the ground, made into pig iron and hauled into town and made into steel rails and all other articles from which steel is made in other places. In ether words. I believe with the road built, L is Angeles could in time lie made i second Pittsburg. "Arriving in the East with these =amples I have referred to, I laid them before the most prominent railroad men in the United States, and they were so convinced as to the necessity of building the road that they sent experts over the line who simply confirmed all I bad said md shown to them. After the report of these experts had been received by these prominent railroad builders they find be- Qome fully determined upon the construc tion of the road, and the line would be in operation today were it not for the general depression which soon followed. Another thing which has retarded the construction is the lack of interest among tho capitalists at this end of the line. Wherever 1 went East, they would say, "Mr. Workman,we believe the road would be a big investment, but why don't your jwn people take bold and assist iti an undertaking which is so important? "I claim that if the people of Southern California will show an earnestness and lid this project, that the road can be speedily built ami millions of dollars will be invested Within its borders. The en terprise is a gigantic one, requiring as it rloes an immense amount of capital, and, For this reason, among others, I do not think that it can be constructed by private subscription from our people alone. Therefore, the bond proposition has prac tically been adopted, and if our present plans are carried out, it will only be a year or two until the whistle of the Salt Lake locomotive is heard within our midst. "Along this route are innumerable val leys, of good fertile land, some of which are settled and many which have been highly cultivated by industrious Mor mons. Fruit and alfalfa fields abound, and by the introduction of a little capit'il ail these valleys can be transformed into orchards and cultivated ranches. "When this road is assured and con struction begun, every poor man not fear ing tho present exile, can take up lf>o acres of fine Government land, and by a little industry have a little home with "all tbe comforts of civiliza'ion. "This will be a veritable poor man's country and will give this part of the state a back country, developed and long needed. The mineral deposits along the line of the road will give permanent em ployment to thousands of people, w ho will naturally spend in Los Angeles the money they have earned. "Should not every one in Southern Cal ifornia exert every endeavor to further an enterprise which will do so much good for their section of the state?" THE MERCHANTS WANT IT They Favor the Plan of Taxation and Urge Quick Work The merchants of Los Angeles are more than anxious for the Salt Lake railroad. "You bet I favor the plan of building the road on the Cincinnati plan," said Z. T. Parmalea. "It's the only way we can get the road, and the road we must have. lam glad The Herald has taken this position on the qeustion. It needed only a live newspaper to boom the move ment to make tbe road go." "Give us the road by taxation," saidH. Jevne. "It il the only fair plan for all the people, We need the road. We must have it if our city is to go ahead, and the taxation plan is the best, and surest that has been offered." "I favor the Cincinnati plan, as it is called," said L. Jacoby of Jacohy Bros. "It is the one and only plan that will build the road. We are in hearty sym pathy with the movement. We cannot get too many railroads."
