ALMOST PERSUADED

The San Pedro harbor project was
pushed little further ahead yesterday
by the announcement that Secretary
Alger had decided to award the contract
to Heldmeier & Neu of Chicago, who
were the lowest bidders, at something
less than $1,500.000. One bid, which in
cluded both harbor of refuge and one of
commerce, the engineers were disposed
to regard as irregular, believing that its
acceptance would afford an opportunity
to reopen the whole question in congress-
The people Of Southern California will
approve the policy and suggestion of
the engineers. They would neither risk
nor tolerate any step that would reopen
the harbor question.
The awarding of the contract at a
figure less than $1,5O0,000 would indicate
that the density of San Clemente rock
is such as to satisfy the powers that be.
and that Secretary Alger's reported de-
termination to call for land-quarried
rock was baseless rumor. This Is very
gratifying, because it will save the gov
ernment at least million dollars. The
people who want the harbor do not
favor needless extravaganza simply be-
cause the money is to come out Of the
public treasury.
Secretary Alger, as an ordinary busi-
ness precaution, may withhold his sig
nature for the contract until after the
sundry civil bill passes both houses of
congress. 1t begins to look, however,
as if there would be no further unneces-
sary delay. It will do no harm to begin
gin shouting until the work is actually
begun
