LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Congressman Bowers VIII Aid
the Tidal Canal Appro-
priation.
The San Francisco Bridge Company
Has Inclosed Several Blocks
of Land.

ALAMEDA, Oct. 3.-City Clerk Lam
born to-day received a reply from Con-
gresham Bowers to the invitation to visit
Alameda and inspect the tidal canal. He
states that his time will be occupied until
the session of Congress, but he expects to
be guided by Mr.. Hilborn and will aid him
in anything for the benefit of his district,
and expects to be aided in return in pro-
curing adequate appropriations for contin-
uing the work on the Government ietty at
the mouth of the San Diego harbor. It is
evident from the tone CT the letter that the
California delegation intends to work in
perfect harmony.
When the Congressional delegation made
its recent inspection of the tidal canal the
members were amazed at the fencing prop
osition of the San Francisco Bridge Com
pany, which is building a fence inclosing
several blocks of land at the foot of Walnut
street. Title is claimed to the land by the
company because it filed it in with slick
ems. City Attorney Taylor says the land
in question is included in the partition
suit now pending, IN which Senator Stew
art, James A. Waymire, the city of Ala
media and about forty others are interested.
He thinks the company cannot get title.
The city's interest consists of sixteen
acres, five of which have already been
fenced in near the borax works for sewer
basin. The city also claims a ten-foot
strip along the marsh for sewer purposes.
The marsh-land case will probably be de-
cided in about six weeks.

way Company brought suit to-day In the
