SCHEME Of HARTMAN
Gets into CONGRESS
Innocent Looking Provision
in Bills for River"
Inspection
WORKING BOTH ENDS
Railroad Wants Federal Aid
Along With ST, 100000
State Gift

San Franciscans who had supported
the measure before the Legislature
opening the way for an expenditure
of $1,000 600 for the creation of a land
locked harbor at Islais Creek were cha
grined yesterday when The Call brought
to their attention the reputed Southern
Pacific ownership of the submerged
land surrounding the harbor site.
Thomas P. Andrews and George w.
Center of the Mission Club and Frark
w. Marvin and w. ]. Barrett of the
Potrero Association insisted that the
Southern Pacific, as far as their knowl
edge went. owned but one block of land
east of Kentucky street. But The
Calls information. which comes from a
highly reliable source, is that the rail-
road holds the lands in question in the
names of dummy proprietors-
An interesting feature of the harbor
project is said to be that the railroad
could have its submerged tract filed in
without cost at the time the harbor was
dredged. Whoever took the contract to
dredge the basin would be glad of the
opportunity to pump the mud onto the
adjacent flats. Thus the owners of tide
land lots would be double gamers from
the bounty of the State.
It seems to be admitted on all sides
that the Southern Pacific is the owner
of the marsh lands adjoining the pro-
posed basin on the west side OF Ken
lucky street, which crosses the mud
flats The filing of this property. which
is said to contain 300 acres, at the same
time that the Iandlocked harbor was
created in front would be an inestima-
BILE gain to the railroad. On the west
side of First avenue the lots, partly
covered by water, are said to be owned
by various wholesale butchers, the
tract being known popularity as Butch
ertown." Just how much of this land
the Southern Pacific and Santa F'e own
it is impossible to say. Farther south
the Niebaums are reported to own fifty
acres, between India Basin and the
property of the San Francisco Drydock
Company at Hunters Point. On the
north side of the projected harbor is
the property recently acquired by the
Western Pacific.
Strangely enough, the first provision
relative to California in the pending
river and harbor bills in the Federal
Senate and House is one for the inspec-
tion of "Islais River" with a view of
ascertaining the practicability of OBJ
tanning a depth of 26 feet q distance of
one mile inland from the mouth Of
the river" This provision did not find
it's way into the bill without guiding
hand. 1t is interesting to note that the
creek, which has long been accounted
unnavigable. has attained to the dignity
of a "river" Perhaps Southern Pacific
ownership of both banks wrought this
change. When Major Harts comes TO
make the required inspection of 'Islais
River" he will have an opportunity of
advising the Government as to the
practicability of the project.

$4,000 of Million and

ing Fillmore street and streets in the
Mission district improved.
1t was expected that the Suffer-
street Improvement Club would pur-
chase $4,000 worth of the bonds on
the understanding that Sutter street
would be improved with the money. The
Works Board had filed a recommends
tionl that the street be repaved on
condition that the necessary bonds be
purchased, but as the Supervisors had
refused to give such assurance the
club failed to submit its bid.
The board adopted a resolution fix
ing March 25 next as the date for again
receiving bids for the bonds remaining
unsold This will be the fifth time
that bids have been invited.
