Therefore, be it Resolved, That a committee be appointed to at once wait upon Col. Pillsbury and ascertain from him the route desired by him between Anaheim and Garden Grove, so that the Chamber of Commerce can at once proceed to secure the necessary right of way, and procure funds with which to do its necessary grading between Garden Grove and Anaheim. The most enthusiastic and largely attended electric railway meeting ever held in the history of this city assembled at the chamber of commerce these was the statement that the Huntington Beach company had a contract with the Pacific Electric railway for constructing a line of road from Huntington Beach inland a route to be designated by the company. He had recently been conference with Col. Pillsbury engineer of the electric railway company, and had been informed that contract existed. Another place the situation was the fact that the Huntington Beach people, as the people of this city, favored route to Huntington Beach, Col. bury had informed him that road would be built, but that when constructed would run from city to Cypress. If these statements Col. Pillsbury were true these things were futile and might well be called off. He was not duly the statements of the Huntington Beach company, but here was a flicting state of affairs which just as well be discussed here and as at any other time or place. The people of this city couldpected to sign a contract to right of way and raise funds to the roadbed, they should be furnished with blue prints showing the route be traversed and how much it cost. When these matters cleared the people of Anaheim would thought put their shoulders to Therefore, be it Resolved, That a committee be appointed to at once wait upon Col. Pillsbury and ascertain from him the route desired by him between Anaheim and Garden Grove, so that the Chamber of Commerce can at once proceed to secure the necessary right of way, and procure funds with which to do its necessary grading between Garden Grove and Anaheim. The most enthusiastic and largely attended electric railway meeting ever held in the history of this city assembled at the chamber of commerce Monday evening. It was in response to advices from Huntington Beach to the effect that a delegation of citizens from that city desired to meet in conference with the chamber of commerce and discuss the electric railway situation. There were present from Huntington Beach T. B. Talbert, W. T. Newland, S. W. Price, J. M. Clippinger, A. A. Cole, S. W. Blodget, M. E. Helm, J. W. Walker, W. L. McKinney and W. J. Althaver. A delegation of Fullerton chamber of commerce attended, among them being W. W. Kerr, Dr. Wm. Freeman, E. K. Benchly, W. T. Brown, George Ruddock, Attorney Marks, Harry Ray and others. Of the Anaheim chamber of commerce there were present Directors Olmstead, Walker, Williams, Wickett, Resh, Howard and Quarton. On the meeting being called to order the hall filled with representative citizens of this community. Chairman Olmstead in stating the object of the meeting said it was to further discuss the railway situation which had engrossed the attention of the community for several weeks past. He called upon R. Melrose to open the discussion. Mr. Melrose said there was no question the people of this city were heartily in favor of a line of electric railway from this city to Huntington Beach, and would work earnestly to that end. Yet there were several phases of the situation—an apparent irreconcilable conflict between the Huntington Beach company and Col. Pillsbury—which might just as well be faced at the beginning of the discussion as at any other time. One of fictitious state of affairs which just as well be discussed here and as at any other time or place. the people of this city could bepected to sign a contract to provide right of way and raise funds to the roadbed, they should be furnished with blue prints showing the route be traversed and how much it cost. When these matters cleared the people of Anaheim would thought put their shoulders to wheel and work in concert with neighbors. S. W. Price spoke of the effect the people of Huntington Beach procure electric railway connection with the interior of the county had been informed by Mr. Huntley himself that he would build through the celery fields, which duce 3000 cars of celery annually; line, Mr. Huntington said, would all probability be continued in one of time to the upper valley. Mr. Huntington had been recently through the celery country, and "What you people want is a rail and I am going to build it for Huntington Beach was isolated all sections of Orange county." Sired rail connection with the inter The Huntington Beach company expended $2,000,000 and wanted electric road and was going to have even if it had to build it itself. He said at first the route ran Huntington Beach to Santa Clara Later the route was changed to den Grove, and he had been given understand by Pillsbury that he ordered that route. He considered time opportune for Anaheim to with the beach people in order cure the road. Pillsbury said they had an $8000 depot at Garden C and a man employed there all the He (Pillsbury) preferred running line to Garden Grove than to the H street bridge, where it would end a river bed, and be subject to overflow. Ninety-five per cent of people of Huntington Beach wanted route to come by way of Anaheim the route were to go by way of Santa Ana, future travel from the upper ley would be steered to Newport Bay which is owned by Santa Ana.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1908 The statement that the Huntton company had a contract specific Electric railway peoructing a line of railway Huntington Beach inland upon designated by the former He had recently been in with Col. Pillsbury, chief of the electric railway command been informed no such statement. Another phase of was the fact that while Huntington Beach people, as well of this city, favored a Huntington Beach, Col. Pillsformed him that no such be built, but that the road acted would run from this less. If these statements of were true these meetutile and might just as off. He was not denying ents of the Huntington any, but here was a condition of affairs which might be discussed here and now at time or place. Before this city could be extain a contract to procure and raise funds to grade they should be furnished items showing the route to and how much it would these matters cleared away, of Anaheim would he their shoulders to the tington Beach was herself looking to the future, and it wanted this road in order to assist in its expansion. It wanted more people. It wanted the route to come by way of Garden Grove and Anaheim. That this road would in turn continue to the upper valley there could be no doubt. The entire project looked good to him. W. T. Newland said that Mr. Talbert and himself had recently held a conference with Col. Pillsbury regarding the route of the road, and the latter had pronounced himself as being heartily in favor of the route to Garden Grove. Pillsbury had informed the committee that delegations had waited upon him from Anaheim and Garden Grove. While not much was said of continuing the road to Anaheim, Pillsbury had unqualifiedly expressed himself as favoring the Garden Grove line instead of anchoring the road in the river bottom at the Fifth-street bridge. He had no doubt the road would be continued from Garden Grove to this city if right of way were procured and the roadbed graded. The Huntington Beach people were practically a unit in favoring the Anaheim route, in preference to that by way of Santa Ana. They felt no hostility toward Santa Ana, but it was a business matter for them. They saw more of affairs which might be discussed here and now over time or place.

He had no doubt the road would be continued from Garden Grove to this city if right of way were procured and the roadbed graded. The Huntington Beach people were practically a unit in favoring the Anaheim route, in preference to that by way of Santa Ana. They felt no hostility toward Santa Ana, but it was a business matter for them. They saw more business for Huntington Beach by a road to Garden Grove via Anaheim, than by way of Santa Ana, which is largely interested in Newport Beach, and would undoubtedly seek to deflect travel thither. He thought the time had arrived for the people on this side of the river to act in concert. He was satisfied that if Anaheim would procure right of way from Garden Grove hither and would grade the roadbed, the road would be continued to this city. The Huntington Beach company would procure right of way and grade the line from the coast to a junction with us. Relative to a contract with the Huntington Beach company and the P-E he said he understood that such an agreement existed, but a contract had not been signed by Mr. Huntington previous to his departure for the east. He was expected to sign it, but other matters intervened and he left without affixing his signature to the document. Mr. Newland spoke in his usual vigorous and convincing manner relative to the import of the subject before the meeting. T. B. Talbert confirmed. Mr. Newland in reference to the interview with Pillsbury, and went over practically the same ground. He assured the meeting that the Huntington Beach people were 95 per cent in favor of coming to Anaheim rather that the Santa Ana route. Secretary Walker read from the minutes of the meeting held last week in which the chamber of commerce voted to secure right of way and grade the roadbed from Garden Grove to this city, and this action had been conveyed to the Huntington Beach company, but as yet no answer has been received. Mr. Talbert said an answer would be forthcoming as soon as the Huntington Beach board of trade held a meeting.

Estim Secretary Walker read from the minutes of the meeting held last week in which the chamber of commerce voted to secure right of way and grade the roadbed from Garden Grove to this city, and this action had been conveyed to the Huntington Beach company, but as yet no answer has been received. Mr. Talbert said an answer would be forthcoming as soon as the Huntington Beach board of trade held a meeting. Mr. Olmstead made verbal report of the recent meeting of a committee of the chamber of commerce with the Huntington Beach company in Los Angeles, in which the committee were informed the road would probably rest in abeyance until Mr. Huntington’s return from the east. E. K. Benchley of Fullerton said the people of that city had been rebuffed by the Pacific Electric people so often they had practically given up hope of ever having a trolly line. “We have been told to go home and mind our own business, and when the electric company wanted us it would send for us,” he said. “Personally I would not go as far as the front door to meet with the electric railway people unless they sent for me. Our people are anxious for the trolly line, and I think a route from Anaheim and Fullerton to a junction with the La Habra valley line would offer sufficient business to make it an object for Mr. Huntington to consider it. We are willing to cooperate with you and will do all in our power to help you get this road.” J. S. Howard spoke of the earnest effort. The PALACE STABLES Has a new summer coat. Come and see it. J.
