NO RECEIVER YET NAMED.
JUDGE JOHNSON HAD SELECT.
ED THOMAS FOX.
But Union B. and L. Shareholders
Say He is Not Sufficiently.
Disinterested.

The lawyers concerned in the Union
Building and Loan Association case
were again in Judge Johnson's court
yesterday morning, which was the time
set for the court to grant the petition
of the State Building and Loan Com
missioners to have the association per-
manently enjoined from transacting
business and a receiver appointed TO
take charge of its affairs.
When Judge Johnson announced that
after great difficulty in finding a COM
petent but disinterested person TO act
as receiver he had selected Thomas
Fox, there We're objections raised, and
the matter was continued till the af
ternoon to allow w. Fl. Devlin, attOr-
ney for some of the parties interested,
to prepare and presents the grounds of
objection TO Mr.. Fox's appointment.
At the afternon session Mr.. Devlin
presented an affidavit on behalf of Di-
rector Steinman and others in which
it was alleged that Mr.. Fox was too
closely related to persons holding shares
Of stock to be a thoroughly disinter-
ested person, and there We're other OBJ
jections set forth of a somewhat SINH
lcI Id
Mr. Dcvlin explained. however, that
in the short time allowed. and owing
to the absence of certain persons from
the city, he had not been able to OBJ
tain the evidence desired to present in
support of the allegations in the affi-
davit, and he asked the court to further
continue the matter until Wednesday
morning.
Deputy Acknowledgement Post, rep
resenting the Loan Commissioners, said
he had no objection to the continuance.
Judge McKune, attorney for certain
shareholders, wanted to know if the
continuance would in any way imperil
the two actions that had been brought
against the association, and was in
formed that it would not affect them.
Grove l.. Johnson said he presumed
the temporary injunction against the
association doing business would be
continued in force, and the court said
it would.

NOT REPRESENT all that is to be expended
In the completion of one of the nnest
harbors for commerce and saIesI
refuge for vessels that the waters or
the world can boast. The Government
contemplates the improvement OF the
inner harbor between the jetties al
ready constructed, by deepening that
channel at an estimated cost of about
s4OO 600. of which amount $4,000 has
already been appropriated. ADD 10
that the construction of wharveS and
erection of lighthouses and the prob
able extension Of the breakwater be-
vond the specified $500 feet of length,
and the expenditures of Government
money at San Pedro will in the course
of five wears considerably exceed three
million dollars. In fact, four millions
would be nearer the figure. The pro-
posal for bids under which the con-
tract with the Chicago firm was made
provides for an increase in the length
of the breakwater. If found practic-
able, not to exceed an aggregate cost
of $2,900,000; and while that increase
would not be great in number of feet.
owing to the increased depth at the
east end, 1t would greatly enlarge the
outer harbor and add to its safety as
refuge.
The survey, as made by the Govern
ment Engineer officer, contemplates
semi circular breakwater beginning at
a point three eighths of a mile distant
from the east shore of Point F1rmin.
extending easterly along line about
mile south of the jetties already con-
structed. There will be erected on
either end of the breakwater a light
house, which, in addition to the light
house now maintained at Point F1rmin.
will form a sure guide to the
mariner into a refuge that will be per-
feet not only in artificial construction,
but in natural protection. The sub
structure OF the breakwater will be
1913 feet in breadth at the base in nine
fathoms of water, and 1t will have g.
surface breadth of superstructure of
twenty feet. The sunerstructure will
have breadth of base at mean low
water of thirty-eigh feet and a height
of fourteen above that point.

Mr.. Neu, the junior member Of the
