The Committee on Commerce reported
on the matter of the Santa Monica wharf
which they had spent the morning in in
vestigating. The plan is for wharf oi
1000 feet. The Com mittee declared its
belief that the scheme was thoroughly
plausible. The shore being a gradual
slope-the best possible for an anchor
age-the islands protecting the harbol
from southwesterly storms, Point Dumar
warding off the wind from the north, and
the bottom being free from rock, there
was every reason why boats could safely
lie at anchor st wharf of reasonable
length. For long time vessels were
accustomed to unload passengers and
some freight in this harbor. The South
ern Pacific railroad had found it more
profitable TO unload at San Pedro, and
bad given Santa Monica no attention.
With $40 600 assistance from this city, it
was the opinion of the Committee that
the citizens oi Santa Monica could carry
ont the plan which they had under way,
to the advantage of both localities. The
trip from San Francisco for passengers
conld be shortened four hours. Large
Panama steamers had anchored there
with safety at various times. The COM
pany which proposes to carry out the un-
dertaking ie made up of responsible men,
and is in every way worthy OF confidence.
After the reading of the report num-
ber of the members present spoke on the
matter, warmly endorsing the plan as
mapped ont by the report. 1t was gen.
orally held that an investment in the
bonds of the company would be likely to
be profitable, and that the project was in
every way worthy of support.
The report was adopted and the plan
formally endorsed.
Major Jones proposed that steps be
taken for the establishment of Govern
ment Agricultural Experimental Station
near Los Angeles. There were certain
features of the soil and climate Of this
section sufficiently distinct from those OF
those # the northern part of the State
fer valuable agricultural, data to be OBJ
tanned here. 1t was moved and carried
that a special committee be appointed to
take the matter in hand. +. A. Forrest,
Milton Thomas and j. NJ. Stewart were
selected by the chair to serve on the
committee.
Mr.. Book brought up the question OF
the Santa Monica wharf again, and asked
that a special committee of five be ,ap-
pointed TO move in the matter and see

He told at some length of the work done
through Mr.. Mulhollsnd in aeitating the
question of the extension of the Carson
and Colorado road. The Chamber bad
conferred with Mr.. Yerrington, the
President of the road, and had gained
from him tie concession that the
Directors would take the matter into
active consideration. The Chamber had
interviewed Mr.. AshburneI, the oil ex'
pert, and had given him the facts about
the oil supply here, which he de-
sired. Mr.. Huntington and MIR.
Towne, of the Southern Pacific, had
been met by committee from the Cham
Der and had declared that they would
soon begin work on their new shops in
Los Angeles. The Chamber had Joined
the State Board of Trade, and had seni
an excellent display East to the travelling
exhibit, and had also accomplished not
little in exhibiting the products OF this
section in the permanent display of the
State Board at San Francisco. Major
Jones adverted briefly to the difficulty
which had been encountered in obtaining
the fruits and products necessary for
these exhibits. The launching of the
Industrial Exposition scheme had been
accomplished in q large measure through
the efforts of the Chamber. A large
amount of work had been done in the
answering of miscellaneous correspond
ence, and in the collection of statistics.
Under the latter head, Major Jones re-
ferred to the work done by the Secretary
in collecting and tabulatiDg the tonnage
figures from the railroads during the last
year. The Secretary then read the state
