Rumors that the road was as good | as sold to the Sutter-street Railroad Com- pany are strenuously denied by represen- | tatives of the corporation as well as the administrators of the Sutro estate. | A bid of $140,000 has been made by a broker, whose name is withheld, but W. special adminis positively the Sutter-str of < offer is not made Company. The Probate Court granted permis to sell the property more than a mo 1go and on September 5 an order w issued to show cause why the pow hould not be leased for a term of ars at the nominal rental of $ per This order will be disposed of October 6. The Sutro road is looked upon with | covetous eyes by the Market street, Cal ornia street nd the Sutter street rail- road companies, and it is certain that one of the three corporations has made the bid now in the hands of the administra- by five y month. tors, and that all of them will make offers | for the property when the matter reaches the Probate Court. Referring to the sale, Mr. Adamson ate has been anxious for some time to sell the electric line and the ad- ministrators applied to the court about a month ago to dispose of it. We have re- ceived a bid of $140,000 from a broker, but 1 can state positively that we have not negotiated for the sale of the road to the | Sutter-street Company. All of these matters have to go before the Probate Court and we cannot dispose of the road excepting to the highest bidder and then only upon the court’s approval of the pur- chase pric The Sutro Electric Railway is a stock company, a majority of the shares being held by the Sutro estate. There are 40,000 shares altogether. Sixteen thousand of them were never disposed of, 3000 were old off in small blocks and the balance is owned by the Sutro estate. The cer- poration owns only the right of way, tracks and rolling stock of the line, the power-house not being included in the company’s property. At present the Sut- ter-street Company has a transfer agree- ment with the Sufro Company which the California-street line is d to be anxious to secure, and shut the rival concern out of one of its most valuable privileges. This would leave the Sutter-street Com- pany in the predicament of practically commencing nowhere and ending at the me place, up against the cemetery ence, as was {ts condition before the Sutro road was built. This situation would indicate that there will be a lively contest for possession of the property when the sale comes before the Probate Court October 6. 3-Day Specials!
