Petition 10 Congress.

The following is the petition
which ia being circulated in Los
Angeles county, asking Congress
for an appropriation of 100000 for
the improvement of Wilmir gton
Harbor. 1t is being universally
signed and will be forwarded to
Washington imni edintely:
LIST. Until the commencement of
the harbor improvement by the
Government at Wilmington, there
had been no harbor of refuge in
storms, between San Diego and San
Francisco nothing but open road
steals for y distance of nearly 500
miles.
I'd. The freight received and
shipped through the port of Will
miugton has steadily increased
from an aggregate Of 6,3l4 tons in
the year 1855, to $3.50 tons for the
year 1875, aud is growing with each
year. The passenger movement
through the port for 1875 reaches q
total of 20, 1903. Arrivals of sea-
going vessels-steamers 2S4 !; sail
ing vessels, ll6; total, 400. This
port is tile shipping point of a large
part of Southern California and
Northern Arizona.
To meet these two wants, viz: the
creation of harbor OF refuge 'and
the accommodation of the rapidly
increasing commerce of the port,
the United States Government, af-
ter three careful aud exhaustive
surveys, commenced the work of
developing the Wilmington harbor.
So far, "a total of $425, 900 have been
Appropriated. With this money Il
breakwater 6.700 feet 10 length has
been constructed, and ship chan
mel twelve feet deep at low tide,
and sixty feet wide, has been
dredged through the bar, while u
second cut of sixty feet, and four
teen feet in depth, to widen this
has been nearly finished.
When the work WAS commenced
the bar had upon it only eighteen
inches of water at low tide. The
channel now opened through the
bar is so narrow that it can only be
entered by vessels under very
| favorable conjunciions of weather
and tide; and yet it is used, when
ever possible, as many as fifteen
sea-going vessels lying inside at
one time.
All the freight and passenger
business, until now, has had to be
transacted by means of lighters,
ships lying nearly four miles out
from The landing. During storms,
communications is often entirely
cut off with the shore, vessels be-
ing at times forced to abandon the
anchorage and run out to sea. This
has been heavy burden upon the
commerce of the country, both in
money and in the delays of so in
adequate a system.
With the completion of the pres
ent work, ships will he enabled to
enter the harbor and lie alongside
of the wharves.
We believe but few Government
works have ever been carried on
more economically, more honestly,
and with greater results to show
for the outlay of money than this.
The engineers now ask for fur
ther appropriation of 100000. This
money is to be used in strengthen
ing the breakwater and in widen
ing and deepening the channel
through the bar, so that vessels
may enter with safety at all times
and in all kinds of weather.
