Despite
the new-found potential for earning huge profits, Brown decided to lease the
road to a San Bernardino man by the name of John J. Driggers.
Taking
effect on May 1, 1875, the one-year lease would cost Driggers $125 per month,
and it covered all of the structures near the lower tollgate.
In addition,
Driggers was supposed to repair and maintain the road as necessary. Naturally, the lease allowed Brown and his
family members to use the road without charge, so long as the family caravans
included no more than two freight wagons and one stage coach.
