.[UMB[RM[N OPPOSE
HLAIS CREEK PLAN
Pope & Talbot Conduct Cam
paign to Defeat Proposed
Harbor Improvement
Merchants Exchange Holds a
Postcard Election and Finds
Members Opposed to Project


The real opposition to the Islais creek
project has been forced into the open.
Headed by Pope e. Talbot, the lumber
interests of the city who own land at
india basin have been conducting a
campaign to defeat the proposed harbor
Improvement. These concerns are now
IN possession of submerged lands which
the state desires to acquire to create
an inland basin. If they can defeat the
measure they will straightway fill in
the land and thus come into control of
valuable. water front holdings. The
lumber people are careful, however, to
conceal these facts and to make their
night on the theory that the proposed
bond issue would cripple the harbor
finances
The lumber lobby came into the open
during the postal card ballot on the
subject taken by the members OF the
merchants exchange. The ballots were
counted yesterday and showed SO for
the India basin act and 2o7 opposed. In
accordance with this vote the directors
OF the exchange passed resolutions fa-
Vor1ng the postponement of the inn
provement until rs year bond issue.
instead of the 20 year issue. could be
authorized. -
The purpose of the lumber interests
is plain. Should the act be passed the
state would acquire their holdings. On
the other hand, should the act suffer de-
1eat, as they propose, they would re-
claim the land and then urge the crea-
tion of the basin, thus giving them full
control of the approach to the new sec
tion of the harbor.
PERSONAL LETTER SENT
Pope & Talbot headed the opposition
and addressed to every member of the
exchange a personal letter, which read
as follows:
You will receive a postal from the
merchants exchange asking you to vote
on the lslais creek project. and we now
vote no.. Under a 20 year bond-propo-
sition 1t would be necessary to pay ap-
proximately 100000 per annum to cover
the interest and provide a sinking fund
TO apply on the principal This would
mean either increased tonnage dues,
winch would have tendency to drive
away shipping. or 1t would leave just
that much less for other necessities and
needed harbor improvements, and we
feel that we can not afford to cripple
our. already inadequate harbor fund.
Thanking you for your favorable con-
sideration of our request. we remain,
very truly yours, POPE & TALBOT,
BY w. H. Talbot, President.
The solicitude of Pope & Talbot and
the rest of the lumber lobby for the
finances of the harbor assumes a hu-
morous aspect In the light of the testi-
mony of the plat books, which show
that Pope & Talbot and the lumber
firms interested with them own eight
blocks of the proposed basin. These
blocks are numbered 527. 52S. 532, $50,
5i1, 542, 551 and 5S4. After they have
converted their land into harbor 'front.'
age the members of the lumber lobby
will no doubt consent to allow the state
to make an inland basin of the sub
merged lands of the other property
owners at Islais creek
