LOS ANGELES MUST
BUILD OWN FARBOR
SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION IS
AGAINST FREE PORTS
Citys representative to Rivers Con-
gress Reports official Sentiment
Opposed to Opening Free
Water Terminals

That a public harbor and docks never
viii be granted for San Pedro by the
national government and if Los An
geles expects such a harbor it must get
it through its own exertions is the sub
stance of the formal report submitted
by Joseph II. Call to Niles Pease, presi-
dent of the city council.
Mr.. Call is the official representative
sent by the city to the national rivers
and harbors congress held recently at
Washington, d. c. He was a member
at large of the committee on resolutions
and platform, the special courtesy be-
ing extended to him for suggesting the
position.
In his report Mr. Call says he found
such an unanimous sentiment among
congressman and government officials
against opening free national harbors
that he is convinced Los Angeles never
can look to that source for a free ma
tional harbor at San Pedro.
His conclusion is as follows: an con-
clusion, l venture to add that / have
formed the opinion that the opposition
to the opening of harbors and improve
ment of waterways is SO potent
throughout the United States and in
the senate and house of representatives
that we need not hope for a public
| harbOr and public docks at San Pedro
or elsewhere upon this coast in the
| vicinity of this city unless they are
| constructed and owned by the city of
| Los Angeles"

HOPE STREET LIKELY
TO OBTAIN ITS WALL
PLANS ADOPTED BY BOARD OF
PUBLIC WORKS
Vrooman Assessment District May Be
Formed and Cost Above $4,000
Assessed to Property Own
ers Interested

After three years of what has looked
like a lingering death the Hope street
retaining wall seems in a fair way to
be built New plans for the wall were
adopted by the board of public works
yesterday and the city engineer was
instructed to draw up specifications.
Changes have been made in the plans.
The long wall is to be Ornamented
with pilasters and a broad stairway
will be placed about the center
Engineer Homer Hamlin has esti-
mated that the actual cost of the work,
minus profit and percentage, will be a
little more than $4,000. The council
has appropriated $4,000 as a fund for
building the wall, but the board of pub
lie works has induced several council
men to agree to cut this down to SIS
900 and compel the property owners to
pay all in excess of that amount.
The plan is to adopt the specit1ca-
tions, advertise for bids and then, be-
fore the contract is awarded, make a
Vrooman assessment district and APP
portion the cost above $4,000 to the IN
terested property owners.
The wall will be constructed in the
center of Hope street, from Third tc
Second, and the street will be made 4
double grade. The western half of the
block will make gradual uphill slope
and the eastern portion will run down
to the Third street tunnel.

ORANGE STREET WILL HAVE
FIRST MACADAM PAVEMENT
Board of Public Works Awards Con-
tract-Substantia Storm Drain
viii Be Put in as Pre-
Iiminary Step

The first macadam pavement in the
city will be that on Orange street. The
board of public works opened bids for
this pavement yesterday and awarded
the contract to the Patillo Contracting
company Before the pavement is laid
a good storm drain will be put in. This
sewer is included in the contract and
will cost $3.50.
Macadam paVements are something
the board of public works has been
trying to introduce for long time, but
for some reason property owners seem
prejudiced against them.
A maeadam pavement was proposed
for Hooper avenue from Twenty-eighth
street to the southern city limits, but
owners protested against it so vigor-
ously that the board yesterday changed
the specifications to petrolithic pave
ment, with brick cutters. The board
was glad to make the change, for
Hooper avenue is a regular water
course and it is feared the macadam
would not be able to care for the inn
mense amount of water that flows
down the street during the rains

SUSPECT PROPOSED ROED
OF BEING CITY PROPERTY
Engineer viii Make Special Surveys
to Determine Title to Real Es-
tate Lying Contiguous to
EIysian Park

In order to determine whether pri-
vate property owners are trying to
deed to the city land for street pur-
poses that it already owns, Councilmen
Clampitt and Dromgold and City En-
gineer Hamlin made an automobile
trip to the property in question yester-
day morning. They were unable to
reach a conclusion in the matter and
the city engineer must make surveys.
Dick Hunter, owner of the Hunter
ranch, and others interested with him
wish to improve the old Los Feliz road
that runs along the eastern side of
Elysian park. They want the city to
accept the road as public street SIS
far as it extends into the city. which is
about a mile. But the council has Il
suspicion that a portion of this road
runs on city property.
The city formerly owned about ten
acres on either side of this road. but a
portion of it was fenced off by private
property owners without protest from
the city, and these owners have ac-
quired title to it by squatter rights.
The city still owns a portion of this
land, and it is believed the proposed
Improvement is thereon. By accepting
the street the council fears to leopard
ize what interests the city may have
left
