Both companies reserve theright to admit one or more additional railroads to these new yards, butthe agreement does not bear anv reference to the use of the SouthernPacific Station facilities by any additional road other than the Pacific Elec-tric, which may be admitted at the election of the Southern Pacific. The Salt Lake also grants to the Southern Pacific for the sole use ofthe Pacific Electric without rental therefor, an easement during the lifeof the agreement, for a right of way of sufficient width, not exceeding 50feet, for the construction, maintenance and operation of a double-trackelectric railway along the Salt Lake right of way on the east bank of theriver from Aliso Street to the northerly curved bridge, as mentioned inthe agreement.

.532 Los Angeles Termixai. Investigation Detailed Description of Proposed Construction Beginiiiiisj at the southerly etid of the present umbrella sheds at thepresent Southern Pacific station, it is proposed that the tracks rise, curveto the east and cross over Sixth Street and Alameda Street on a 0.6 percent ascending grade. It may be noted that the curvature is 10° and thatthe rate of grade is a one per cent compensated grade.
