MUNICIPALITY NEEDS
OUTER HARBOR LAND
TRUSTEES ASKED TO WITH
DRAW PROPERTY
Board of Trade Also Suggests Em-
pIoyment of Competent Engineers
to Draw Plans for Public
Docks

SAN PEDRO, April 20.-Believing
that the LAG acres in the outer harbor
which still belongs to the city of san
Pedro should be reserved for municipal
wharves and warehouse sites, the san
Pedro board of trade filed set OF reso-
lutions with the city trustees today IN
which they ask that the offer of this
big area of submerged land to the gov
eminent for naval station be with
drawn and held solely for municipal
purposes. They also suggest that the
city employ one or more disinterested
engineers to prepare plans for the loca-
ton of municipal docks within the ter
ritory of San Pedro, and also provide
for approaches to the same.
When this resolution, which was pre-
sented by a committee from the new
peoples organization" was read 1t was
almost Immediately ordered placed on
file," the sentiment of the members OF
the board being that as the offer to the
government had not been accepted the
land was still available for any lndi-
vidual, firm or corporation with whom
the city wishes to deal.
A communication on the consolidation
and terminal rating problem from the
San Pedro chamber of commerce re-
ceived better treatment from the city
fathers, who ordered that the president
of the board and the city attorney look
over the field and If possible decide on
come capable attorney to prosecute the
claims of this city for terminal priv
ileges.
Many citizens view with extreme dis
trust the apparent interest in the con-
solidation problem by the local cham
Der of commerce, whose executive
board is made up of a majority of those
who favored Savage's vicious amend
ments to the consolidation bill and
those who are either agents for pubic
utility corporations or believed to be
under the control of the railroad power.
Many believe that the nominal rates
"bugaboo'' is about to be revived and
fat job given to some attorney who VIII
work hard to see that San Pedro does
not get what she should from the rail-
road monopoly.
L. L. Gilmore resigned today as
plumbing inspector, his place being
filled by ]. A. Patterson.
John H. T. Peck and ]. A. Anderson,
through their attorney, filed with the
board a demand for $4100 which they
claim as damages on account OF the
grading of certain streets around block
5 of Peck's Grand View tract. The de-
mand was referred to the city attorney
for investigation.

Says Water Caused Illness
Relieving that a suspected case OF
typhoid fever the patient being Lillian
Barnes, a pupil in the Lincoln PARK
school of South Pasadena, may be due
to the water supplied the school parents
have demanded of the health and school
authorities that an immediate investi-
cation be made of the pipes In the
building. 1t is said by members OF the
Lincoln Park Improvement association
which is largely responsible for the
action taken, that the pipe line Whlch
conveys water to the school ends there
and whenever the school is closed for a
short vacation the water, not having
an opportunity to renew itself, be-
comes stagnant and unfit to drink. II
is suggested that a fountain or drink
ing trough which would permit OF a
constant circulation through the pipe
might be established at a point beyond
the schoolhouse.
