Takes Over the North Shore Road to Thwart Santa Fe Plans. | Although President John Martin | eand his financial associates in the | North Shore road decline to give con- firmation of the deal, it is now known that the Cazadero line, with its elec- tric branches, has finally passed to the control of the Harriman syndicate. The road, 117 miles in length, had been offered to several syndicates, but declined on the ground that it was not a paying investment, and was finally bought by Harriman, who values it only as a means of thwarting the Santa Fe from acquiring terminal rights on that section of the bay shore. Although its present owners claim to have invested over $1,200,000 in the improvement of the company's lines, those that are in a position to know assert that Harriman has se- cured the holdings at a far lower fig- ure, agreeing to assume the responsi- bilities of bonded indebtedness and much of the burden of liabilities ac- cruing from the recent numerous wrecks on the North Shore road.
