THE POETESS.

The South Side poetess of passion lay sleep

THAT BELT LINE.
Dock Renters Complain
of Partially
SHOWN TO A CORPORATION.
Why Should They Pay Dockage
for Ships?
A WHOLE WATER FRONT GRATIS
The People Are Taxed, but a Cal
Line Gets Property for
Nothing.

Those who rent docks and pay wharf
age to the State are grumbling and threat
ening to make trouble for the new Broad
way electric belt road that has tied up
East street more effectually than did the
strike tie up the Southern Pacific.
The public has made an astonishing dis
covery, and movement is now on foot
among those who have interests in ship
ping to discover the process by which
corporation can secure 5000 feet OF water
front for nothing, when they have to pay
taxes for even landing vessel or using a
wharf.
1t is alleged that the future Board of
Harbor Commissioners Will have legal
right to declare the East-street franchise
null and void, and to order The immediate
removal of rails.
A ship-owner who does not wish to have
his name used stated yesterday that he
considered that the city Of San francisco,
by allowing her water front to be grabbed.
has placed herself in the same position as
the city of Oakland.
Look at Oakland" quoted he; "she
has had months of litigation and thou
SANDS of dollars of expense In her at
tempts to regain control Of her front. Here
is San Francisco deliberately surrendering
her water front to corporation, thereby
placing herself IN the same position as the
city across the bay"
Anticipating future trouble the Broad
way company is laying a track that can
not be removed except by the use of blast
ing powder or hydraulic derrick.
TIE roadbed Is solid cement. and the
rails are fastened down in manner that
deties removal.
The building of this belt line, according
TO the merchants and ship-Owners. is like
man quitting an enemy in his mouth 10
steal away his brains"
The very logical argument is offered
that if ships and companies owning ships
pay rental for dock privileges. storage
rights and State tolls, why should tue
States portion of East street be given to
the Broadway line for nothing, absolutely
nothing?
To give some idea of what the State has
been accustomed to receive for its prop
erty the dockage receipts for number of
piers are given below:

1t will be seen by reference to this ia BILE
that an immense revenue is derived from
only half the frontage occupied by The
Broadway ROAD, and which was granted
them simply with the understanding that
they grade the stTeet-sOmethlug which
this road would have been forced 10 do. as
it would have been impractlcable Tor them
10 have OF Grated the line without grading
the thoroughfare.
On the iIlegality of the contract the
grumblerS have much to say. The clause
bearing on the construction of tracks on
the front reads that mo car-tracks shall
be put down on any portion of the State
property" The law was interpreted by
the present Board of Harbor Commission
ers to mean that mo steam-railr0ad tracks
should be maintained" The franchise
was railroaded through at the instigation
of the Southern Pacific Company, repre-
sentative OF which concern was present at
every meeting of the board until the CUES
tionable franchise was given.
The reasons given for such opposition
to the belt line are quoted in brief as
follows: The road will be a nuisance to
teamsters, passengers and shippers, for
when times are at all brisk along the
front, and at the fruit wharveS especially,
drayS ana trucks will be obliged to line up
along the sidewalk cur6stOnes 10 avoid
collision with cars. There is scarcely
enough room for teams about the entrance
to Jackson, Broadway and Washington
street docks now. When business picks
up the front at hese points will be block
AIDED in all probability.
1t Is not likely that any action will be
taken Immediately TO annul the franchise,
as the people say that they will wait until
there is a change in the Harbor Board,
which will take place as soon as the State
elections are over.
1t is rumored that Attorney Stratton,
the boards legal adviser, warned Messrs.
Rassett, Brown and Cole that the fran
chise would not hold good before it was
granted, but some strange power at
