this matter receives the encouragement OF
citizens the action prayed for will be taken.
The petition SAYS among other thlngs:
1--WE understand that the course Of your
steamers is, or will be. through Santa Bar
bara channel, so that it would require but
very slight divergence TO enable them to
touch at one or more of the ports adjacent to
Los Angeles. Traffic in this section OF the
country is already large and is constantly
increasing in volume. 1t may be superfu-
Gus to say that the commerce which makes
an entry and finds an outlet at San Diego
represents but small portion of the COM
merce OF southern California for the reason
that an average distance of 125 miles
separates this large and growing territory
from that port For the above reasons but
little for or from here finds its way to your
steamers, although large quantities of pro-
ducts of this rich country, of which this city
the is commercial center, would readily seek
a convenient and nearby outlet.
