THE SUPERVISORS.

A Franchise for q Wharf at Terminal
Island-Other Business.
The board of supervisors yesterday
granted Charles A. Mariner franchise
for coal wharf on Terminal island, San
Pedro. This is the franchise which was
protested against by Iverson, boat
house keeper, who has been located on
the island for many years past, and
claimed an interest in the location.
Since the matter was brought before the
board, Mr.. Mariner has changed the
plans for the wharf, cutting it down to
800 feet, and the franchise. as granted,
does not take in Ivereon's place.
