Mr. IVendllng’a Statement The subject ¡3 of necessity a large one, in the opinion of many of the people comprising the present |«>pulation ot Klamath Falls, though time and spaca Iwth forbid dealing with the question except in the briefest manner possible« There are several things entering into the present situation from our point ot view not fully understood nor thorough ly appreciated by the community, a few words may therefore not come atuiao at this time. In locating the main line of the Cali fornia Northeastern railroad, it was necessary to find a large piece of land having a flat surface in area ample to accomodatu an extensive freight yard and |>assenger scivice, ami where empty cars may be stored w hen not in use, and incoming trains laden with merchandise requiring ample tracks and sidings to afford convenient spaca for unloading. This requires a large nuinlier of tracks, ami tracks for such service must be on a water level, and cannot lie economically handled on land where cats and tills are necessary. Cuts and tills at stations a-e never tolerated, except where they cannot be avoided, and when thus dis- ad vantageously tolerated, are a con stant menace to the public safety, cans ing unavoidable wrecks, hence the lev«l ground for station pur|«>ses is always sought. Wo therefore, followed the teaching of experience In the railroad world in selecting our station grounds. land such as this in any considerable body available for such pur|ioses, and other nocessary irquin-mants, such as stock yards, etc., could be lound only va the M right tract. Tho burden of providing a convenient and comfortable entrance to land pas sengers into the town Klamath Falls, therefore, confronted our |>eople as • problem for solution, that could only bw solved l>v s line of street railway. That a systuin of street railways ooald not |xissih|y be operated except at a Issa for several years to < gm - is an absolute certainty, nevertheless, to ¡-eriorm such service seemed to unr people a part oi our undertaking. We therefore applied early for street railway fianchi-«s aecesamy lor our op erations and the proper accomolation of the traveling public.
