than the blocks set aside for the pur-
pose by the Harbor Commissioners.
Doty said that in 1897 the Board OF
Harbor Commissioners seemed to be
friendly to the producers, but since that
time change had taken place. He
understood that the opposition to the
original proposition came chiefly from
Goodall, Perkins & Co. He said the
Harbor Commissioners seemed to THINK
1T better to collect revenues from Good
all, Perkins & Co. than from the farm
ers of the State. He said the original
idea was to place the products of the
farms near a, central point, and he pro-
tested against having their wharf
shunted nine blocks further away from
the trade center. He said the farmers
of the State demanded that the free
public market be opened, and he sub
mitted that the farming community
paid much more taxes than the ship
ping interests.
Bettman said he was undecided as TO
how he would vote, but he felt that the
distance between the two points under
discussion was SO slight that it amount
ed to practically nothing.

amendment, and it was adopted by q
vote of 81 to IL.

niZe some member of the California
delegation to call up the same before
the close of the present session.
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Senate be instructed to forward a copy
of these resolutions to Washington,
D. c."
Braunhart protested against petition
ing Car Reed. He thought it beneath
the dignity of the Senate to so petit
ton.
Davis said that in a matter of such
importance no member of the Legisla-
fure ought to sink to such petty, peanut
politics as that advanced by Braunhart.
The Constitution was suspended by a
vote of SO to o. after which the reso-
luton was adopted by vote of 33 to

Assembly.
