have msde valuable improvements on tie


IL rest TO extend the harb,r line south to the
Duwsmisn river. and one mile beyond the city
limits, instead OF the one proposed by the bar
Dor line commission crossing west. Thereby we
increased the length of the rim of our harcor
line over three miles.
We have also deemed IL advisable to increase
the breadth of the water way to 1,ooo feet-the
full limit of the law-as in orr opinion the
shipping and manufacturing interests will lie
to the south u the city. It affords better facil.
tiles than any other part OF our city therefor.
The dredging OF the channel in hat locality
can be done at comparatively small outlay
compared 70 the benefits 70 be derived by the
increased water front, anording excellent
wharfage facilities close 70 I. IL communication,
~ wei as the ACKNOWLEDGED advantage which
fresh water affords to Shipping interests; and
10 establish this lice at this time would save the
state the expense of repurchAsing the tide
lands over which this line is to be extended
from persons 70 whom the de lands may be
sold and valuable improvements made thereon.
We therefore deem it for the beet interesis OF
the state and the city that this line De hxed
south at this time.
TIE state OF Calisornia affords US an example
mat as IL at the present time is purchasing the
land oy the foot for harbor purposes such
lew years ago were sold by the acre to iudiyld-
uais for q nominal consideration.

Accompanying this report was a tracing
OF the new harbor line as proposed. 1t
makes strip go feet wide. The inner
line crosses Railroad avenue somewhat fur
ther north. and follows down along the
eastern side of the avenue. The original
line ran about fifty feet east. 1t crosses the
avenue at Pike street, and at Union street
begins running along the west boundary
OF the avenue some 100 feet or so further
out than the original line had run. At
spring street the new inner line leaves
Railroad avenue altogether, and runs
about parallel to the original line, but
from 100 10 $50 feet further out. In this
way the strip runs clear OF the Yesler
wharf, crosses the corner of the Oregon
improvement Company's wharf "a"
misses wharf 3d." the Stetson and Post
mill and the dry dock, and does not run
into the West Seattle elevators
The new harbor strip is from so to $50
feet further out and in consequence misses
that much OF the improvements taken in
by the original strip.
