SUGGESTS VITAL
CHARTER CHANGES
City Engineer Wants ApprOpria-
ton Resolutions Scanned
by the Mayor
Would Also Provide for Harbor
Commission and Park
Commission

OAKLAND. March At a meeting
OF the board Of public works this morn
ing City En- gin.ser Turner made public
his views as to changes he thought
necessary in the city charter when 1t
is brought TO public vote, and intro
duced a resolution containing the
changes he favored. The resolution
was referred to the committee of the
whole of the board without comment
and will be discussed at a meeting
called for one week from today. City
Attorney McElroy was OF the opinion
that the resolution was worthy of
study and investigation.
1t was suggested by Turner in his
resolution that the charter should be
so amended as TO provide that all res
olutions passed by the city council car
rying appropriations should be sent TO
the mayor for his approval or disap-
proval, and that the amount OF appro-
priations which can be provided for by
resolution shall be Increased to 1000
instead of the present figure OF S499.
Turner's resolution would provida
that park commission be appointed
by the mayor: that a harbor commits
sion be similarly appointed: that the
city engineers Office be changed from a
fee Office to a salaried one and that a
new board of works and fire and police
commission shall be so made up as TO
relieve the city attorney and city engi-
neer from all duty in that direction

SAN DIEGO TO BE ONE

improvements Now Projected,
Says Chamber of Commerce
Head, Assure It's Future

Colonel D. G. Collier. president of the
San Diego chamber OF commerce, who
is at the st. Francis hotel, sees in the
southernmost harbor town of Cali
fornia one of the future great cities of
the Pacific coast.
''Wher. you think that there are hun
dreds of fine harbors along the Atlantic
coast and that in the same length of
sea coast the Pacific has but three, you
can see the possibilities of San Diego S
future" he said yesterday. San Fran
cisco, of course, is pre-eminent. Then
there is Puget sound and San Diego.
These three ports are bound to become
great commercial centers in preference
to the other cities of the coast
"A wharf is now being constructed
by ]. ID. Spreckels that will jut into the
offlng 1900 feet and around which % Of
the largest ocean steamers Will be able
to dock, Collier went on. This wharf
will cost $250,000. and the contract calls
for It's completion in IS months.
Another proposition for widening
and deepening the channel is to be con-
sidered by the harbors and waterways
committee of congress- and we have
been assured that a sufficient appro-
priation will be made to dredge the
channel TO depth of 80 feet in those
spots where it is now shallow. When
this work is completed 1t will give us
one of the finest harbors in the world.
Los Angeles frequently has alluded
to San Diego as the city OF grief, but
today we have not a<single vacant house
in the city. Tourists and colonists are
pouring in, and we now nave a popula-
tion of $4,000. We are making great
preparations to greet the fleet when it
reaches San Diego. Twenty thousand
dollars has been subscribed. Flotillas
Will be constructed and the harbor will
be lighted and decorated for the event
