Ing The bay is rich aud adapted to agricultural

tracts. 1t is represented that this will soon bo
divided into small farms which will invite

execution OF this work the development OF tho
adjacent country might be hastened, and the
benefits that would be derived more than com.
pensate the government for the outlay With
this view and to the extent of the work indi-
Gated, consider Ell Moro harbor worthy OF
mproveme mt by the general government. The
ost OF survey of the loca lity will not exceed
$500"

for sufficient appropriation to cover the cost
OF the Improvements suggested.
As the county OF San Luis obispo and ad.
lacent territory is developed by the building of
the new coast line OF the Southern Pacific,
and by other projected roads, the importance
OF an available and land-locked harbor like

parent, affording, as it will, cneap aud con-
venient means OF shipment OF farm and dairy
produce by ocean TO san Francisco and other
points OF distribution.
