City Controls Frontage

The question of how much of the 'front.'
age of the inner harbor was controlled
by the city was next asked, and the re-
ply to the committee was that the city
controlled fifty feet of frontage Of the
inner farbor down Fifth street, fifty
feet down First street and ninety feet,
where there is no wharfage, is also con-
trolled by the city.
John T. Gaffey of San Pedro showed
there was something like 1000 feet north
of Dead Mans island not controlled by
any one
Former State Senator Robert N. 8ulla,
representing the Pacific Wharf and Stor-
age company. which has been doing a
great deal of work of Improvement in
San Pedro harbor. next took the floor and
addressed the audience.
II congratulate the people of Califor-
MIA upon the appointment of this COM
mittee. After having spent eight years
in politics and having suffered from the
filings of people who did not know any,
thing about what they were speaking,
I rejoice that the people of this state
have at last awakened to the fact that
they need to look after the interests Of
their great harbors.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-18
STATE Benefited


"The state as whole and the people
as a whole are benefited by this harbor
improvement enterprise or not at ALL
Ali local chickering's are to be laid aside.
We should unite for the benefit of all the
harbors in the state We today are not
only the citizens of the greatest nation,
but of the greatest state in that nation,
for possibilities. With coast line of 800
miles California has territory that for
the same number of miles on the Allan
tic coast would be divided between half
q dozen states. AS one state we ought
to realize how we may accomplish the
most general good. Let us stand to-
gether and work for the good of all.
81 represent a private interest in the
harbor of San Pedro. I speak as one in
terested financially in this enterprise.
Understand me, we came to the harbor
of San Pedro to secure nothing which
was then in existence. But we came to
create and to give to the harbor of San
Pedro and to the people Of this commu-
nifty something which did not exist. We
are giving frontage on the inner harbor
we have no exclusive rights at all. We
are making land back of the bullxhead
line. We have built places for the de-
posts of the government dredges, which
the United States government was glad
to have us do.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-18
Expends Large Sums

otherwise they would have had to
haul thissrefuse of their dredges out by
barges into the ocean. Capt. Amos A.
Fries is satisfied with this part of our
work. We have to pay to get on that
ground; we are not getting something for
nothing; we are paying out our good
money
'If the debris from the government
dredges were not taken away, pumped
through pipes or something of that kind,
we would have to place the debris in
barges and tote it out to fifteen or
twenty fathoms, where we might dump
it," here interpolated Capt. Hamilton.
1--WE are not asking for the aid of state
or county" continued former Senator
Bulla. IF we create those eighty acres
we are building we believe that with the
great growth of this port we will get
our money back with interest, or we
wouldn't be doing this work"
The question was here asked by Mr..
Willard of Alamitos whether the state
would spend money on something from
which it would not derive any benefit, to
which Senator Wolf replied that the
state would not expend $2,00O.OOO unless it
would be benefited.
Should Cooperate
'If the state is not benefited by the
harbor improvements the community will
not De. Anu IL the community mus thlo
expenditure of money benefits the state,
the members will not oppose it simply
because, forsooth, some corporation with
insight enough to come here is benefited
thereby" went on Mr.. Bulla. "There is
no law why the general government and
the state government should not cooper
ate in this enterprise.
Just think of the great commerce that
is to pour into this and other ports on
this coast. The question is, can San
Pedro with its present channel accommo-
date those vast fleets in the years to
come? They tell me that the city Of
London, for instance. has shipping seven
vessels deep lining its immense wharves.
1.-THE government realized the made
quacy of the present channel and so
established the turning basin, wherein
vessels may come from the congested
channel and turn around What We want
is to see the pierhead line established at
the bulkhead line, where It Is not estab-
lished, and which will not require the
changing of anything
For few minutes the committee and

all the years of his life in California.
This was in line with the federal com
mission, which had written questions sent
to it before the hearing at San Pedro
recently.
The query was put by the state COM
mittee as to whether the wharves and
docks at San Pedro were for general use
or were for the use of their owners The
committee learned that the wharves were
maintained by general tax provided by
the county supervisors.
Supervisors Regulate Dockage
AS Capt. Hamilton of San Diego, one
of the best versed men on local shipping
matters proceeded to point out the board
of supervisors regulates the dockage
which is according to tonnage and ranges
from S100 to $1,000. The extreme charge
is $1475 a day for a vessel The same
rates prevail at Port Los Angeles, Re
dondo and Newport as at San Pedro.
The revenue thus derived goes to keep
ing the wharves in repair. There are no
such things at San Pedro as municipal
wharves, that is wharves over which the
city of San Pedro has exclusive rights
and control. No charges are made for
Sundays or holidays. There is no demur-
rage on freight on the wharf at San
Pedro.
HOW about storage 1aclntlesE was
asked the veteran Capt Hamilton by
Senator Wright. The captain, who is
slightly hard of hearing after years of
sea service. shook his head and the ques-
ton was repeated.
"How about the adequacy of storage
facilities?"
"Oh, we have the best in the world
here" was the veterans reply. which
brought down the house amid boisterous
applause.
The captain went on to tell how crowd
ed the harbor was years gone by, but
added with touch of pathos in his voice
that the same conditions do not prevail
today as formerly.
