President Burns, Of the San Pedro
chamber of commerce, then moved to
the chairman's side to state the case
for the harbor city.
Explaining that his city was origin
ally drawn into the discussion not be-
cause It wished any misunderstood
ings but because premature inter-
views printed In one Of the newspapers
had brought out some correspondence.
Mr. Burns stated that after all infor-
nation is what his city was after.
"Our chamber of commerce and citl-
zens are going ahead in a buslnesslke
manner to learn what Los Angeles
wants and offers In regard to annexa-
tion, constitutional amendments and
such questions. we are studying It in
a calm, candid manner.
Harbor Argument Appeals
"The argument that appeals to us Is
not water but harbor. We need CEN
trail government In order to make the
most Of our harbor facilities. Gov
erned now, as 1t is, by three cities our
harbor interests suffer as do theirs.
We are In danger Of losing big manu-
featuring concerns because the land
they need is situated in San Pedro,
Wilmington and Long Beach.
San Pedro. needs Los Angeles Los
Angeles needs San Pedro"
