L. Evans, representa-) tive of the California Inland Empire Railroad Company, for a deed in escrow | for Rail avenue, made to the Board of Town Trustees Wednesday evening. Prominent residents and citizens !av»r; the deed, as they feel that nothing can | be lost, and if the railroad company stands by the proposition of Evans Sausalito and the whole of Marin Coun- ty would-be greatly benefited. i Evans appeared_before the Board of | Town Trustees last week and made 2| verbal application for the deed, stating | the company’s objects and purposes, showing the route of the proposed road from Boise City, Idaho, to Sausalito. There was a feeling at that time that the road was affiliated or backed by the Scuthern Pacific and that Evans pos- sibly was not acting in good faith. He was closely questioned by different members of the board and stated that his road had no connection with the“ Southern Pacific and that it was going to build to Sausalito or some other | point on San Francisco Bay. He was requested to place his application be- fore the board in writing. In the mean- e the members made careful inquiry about the matter and they are inclined to favor granting the application. In his application to the board Evans asked for a deed in escrow for a year from the town of Sausalito for Rallroad avenue from Alameda Point to its easterly terminus and agrees to Gommence work here within a year, to reclaim the tide land between Railroad avenue and the mainland, to have a ferry between San Francisco and here, to have two hundred miles of standard gauge railroad built from here north- ward within two years. The shops and general offices are to be located here. | If the road is not commenced within a year and the two hundred miles built within two years the line reverts to the town. The .Trustees and many prominent citizens who were present concluded that it would be advisable to call a mass-meeting for Saturday evening and have the propoesition theroughly thrash- ed out by those in favor and against it. A vote will be taken and the opinfon thus expressed will have a strong bear- ing on the etion of the board. As & general ‘rule all roads ask a bonus for a terminal, but this company is satisfied if it secures this avenue. The California Inland Empire Rail- road Company will be Incarporated for $70,000,000 under the laws of Arizona and will be backed by leading Eastern capitalists. The road will run from Boise City, Idaho, to Sausalito, a dis- tance of 1800 miles, then ferry six miles to San Francisco. From a point near Red Bluff, Cal, there will be a branch to Bureka, Humboldt County. A direct rqute to Ban Francisco Bay will be practically maintained. It will place the coast in closer touch with the fer- tile fields of the Palouse wheat district in Washington, tap the lumber and heavily producing mining country. Three large lumber mills in California are owned by the projectors and the railroad will have the ore output of several mines to carry to San Fran- cisco. Railroad avenue is covered at low tide with two feet of water and will be reclaimed. Evans claims to have options on sev- eral pieces of tide lands on the upper side of the strip asked for. He also claims that Da Silva Island, containing fifteen acres and 25.40 acres of tide lands, near Mill Valley Junction, deed- ed by Emma L Winslow of Los Angeles to—Frances G. Bartnett, wife of the chief counsel of the Western Pacific, is also under option to him. It was rumored at the time of the sale that Bartnett was going to erect a $40,000 home there.
