private holdings of the Pacific COAST
Steamship company, but as the amount
OF lineal feet in the proposed street Is
one-third of the length OF the streets
nronosed to be closed, citizens thlnk a
had bargain would be made IL the prop
osition is accepted.
Another Objectionable feature is the
steam railroad franchise, whlch II
granted would bound the street on the
west. and the end of the proposed new
street would apparently have no outlet
exceDt over the 60-foOt right OF way Oh
the Pacific Electric.
Little seems to be known of the own
ership fthe water front at TINS point,
but within a few yards from the end
of this proposed street is the tldeWater
of the inner harbor. Some fear is ex-
pressed that the approaches to the
frontage and likely the frontage itself
will be jeopardized if the proposition Is
adopted
objection to steam road franchise
on Palos Verdes street has also been
made. although the citizens are anxious
tn have the electric cars enter the city
nv this route in preference to that now
used over the hill.
That the city trustees did well in
taking these matters under adYlsement
is the sentiment expressed on all handS.
The early consolidation with Los Ange-
les causes the people to look with sus-
nicion on any project made in haste to
the hoard of trustees, as If legitimate
the consolidated city will deal fairly
with the applicants, and no hasty tac-
Tics are necessary with the trustees OF
this city.

WILMINGTON PROTESTS
AGAINST FRIES REMOVAL
rsneclal to The Herald.l

WILMINGTON, June 23.-The Will
mington trustees and the chamber of
commerce met tonight and unanimously
adopted resolutions urging the retain
ing of Capt. Amos A. Fries as a valu-
able friend of the harbor. The trustees
discussed the matter at last nights
meeting, but an adjournment was TAX
en- until tonight in order to have the
resolutions prepared. They set forth
the transferral of Captain Fries as a
critical move at a time when project
of vast Importance to Southern Cali
fornia is under way and express the
opinion of the people of Wilmington for
keeping Captain Fries in this district.
The chamber of commerce held spe-
cial meeting tonight and selected Presi-
dent f. S. Cary, Erhard Opp and Hen
ry Schneider as a committee to draw
up resolutions which will be forwarded
to the war department tomorrow ex-
pressing the wish of members of the
body to see Captain Fries left here.
Mr.. Cary wired notice of the action

tor Flint and Congressman McLachlan.

SAN PEDRO ENeRossED
WITH BIG PROBLEMS

SAN PEDRO, June 23-Citizens are
today busy discussing the proposal
made yesterday by the attorneys for
the Pacific Coast Steamship company,
the Pacific Land company, the Los An,
geles Interurban Railway company ana
the San Pedro Lumber company 70
abandon 4200 feet of streets in the lands
of the Pacific Coast Steamship company
at the northern end of the city, and IN
lien thereof to dedicate a new street
1850 feet long extending from the north :
ern end of Palos Verdes street TO the
mill of the san Pedro Lumber COM
pany.
This trade is proposed in connection
with the proposal of the Pacific Electric
Railway company to enter the city via
Palos Verdes street If a franchise Tor
a steam railroad is given them through
Palos Verdes street to Thlrteenth
street.
The urgent need for the abandonment
of the streets as expressed by the at
titude of Judge Gibson, Attorney
Frank Karr and Engineer Geo. 10. Pltis-
bury, has caused the citizens to wonder
why the haste and the real reason Tor
the proposal.
Residents on Mob Hill, just south of
this porperty, object to the ABANDON
ment of Ancon street, Qrlzaoa s're9' 1et
and O'Farrell street, as the project ort-
en- considered to level off the whole hlll
would make their property valuable
business property, and streets to the
north would be necessary.
Others state that the rights of the
San Pedro Lumber company over all
the land around the bluff to the front
which is now used by them is not per,
feet by reason Of an old county road
which is said to still exist and which
NAV some day be opened to the public.

The Federation club resolutions were
as follows:
whereas. Capt. A. A. Fries, by his
fidelity to the government and the puo.
lie. has gained the confidence OF all
citizens, except those whose selnsh IN
terests he has opposed; and,
whereas, His removal at the pres

would ieopardize the interests of the
public and of the San Diego harbor;
and
'Whereas, Such removal would give
color to the rumor that 1t was occa-

.HARBOR SECRETARY
DECLARES CITY MAY
GRANT FRANCHISE
NO OBJECTION IF REQUESTS
ARE IN PROPER FORM
San Pedro Citizens Spend Busy Day
in Discussion of Big Prob
lens of Harbor Sit
uation

"If the applications for wharf fran
chises and abandonment of streets
asked of the trustees of San Pedro will
further the development of the harbor
and are right and proper in every way
no one in Los Angeles can object to
them and there is no reason why the
consolidation city will not grant them
readily" said A. P. Fleming, attorney
and secretary for the harbor commits
sion yesterday. IF by any chance this
is not the case it is made the duty of
the harbor commission to protect the
harbor and the public's interest therein,
this duty is imposed on the commission
by the ordinance creating it.
81 do not see why the applicantS
could not trust the consolidated city
equally with San Pedro, and While COLI
solidation is imminent it is certainly
good policy to let other matters stand
awaiting the outcome of the big ques-
ton. Then the others can take their
place in the plan for making great
harbor. The commission is in duty
bound to look into these applications.
Secretary Fleming will visit San
Pedro today to investigate. The duties
Of the harbor commission are sharply
defined in regard to protection of the
public interest in the harbor because of
the interest Los Angeles has in that
respect, and if the commission failed
to safeguard against wrongful appro-
priation of lands or franchises on the
harbor it might come in for severe CEN
sure from the city council. This re-
sponsibility is the greater since con-
solidation seems assured, and for that
reason Secretary Fleming will make a
personal investigations
Duties Defined at Chicago
The duties of the harbor commission
as a Los Angeles body are in many
respects similar to those of the corps of
engineers as government representa-
tives. These were well expressed by
Lieut.. Col w. H. Bixby of the corps of
engineers, who is stationed at Chicago,
in a hearing before the Chicago harbor
commission.
'The functions of the war depart
ment and the engineers department,
said Lieut.. Col. Bixby at that time,
"are mainly conservative and protec-
tive. They are only incidentally con-
servative. The main duty of the war
department in such matters is 10

ways from being abandoned or de-
stroyed or used for some other pur-
poses, and to improve them where
necessary by dredging, by locks and

NAV Remove Obstacles
aThe act of March 8, 1899, under
which the war department now acts to
prevent or remove obstructlons 70 IltVls
cation does not allow the secretary OF
war to authorize the construction oI
ANYTHING, but it simply obliges him and
gives hiin-the power to remove obstruc-
tions that are in the way of such con-
structions when the latter can assist
navigation and commerce. And 1t
Elves. him the power to stop the con-
struction of anything which interferes
with navigation or is liable to interfere
with navigation. His power is rather
prohibitive than otherwise.
"a good many people have the ldea
that If they get permission from the
secretary of war to do something in the
way of a wharf on the water front that
they do not have to go to the state or
city or any other authority for permis-
sion, but they can go ahead ana DO II.
That is q great mistake"
In similar large, but more construc-
tive way the city of Los Angeles has
delegated wide powers to the harbor

COMMITTEE ON
FINANCE Meeting
With SUCCESS
LARGE SUM WILL BE COLLECT
ED FOR THE GLORIOUS
FOURTH.

At the meeting of the Fourth of
July committee last evening a partial
report was made by the finance COM
mittee. Three of the members
stated that they had already collect
ed over $3.50. This information
was rendered by but three of the
committee, the remaining four not
being present. The indications point
toward over $500 being raised for
the greatest celebration ever held in
Tonopah or for that fact in the en-
tire southern country The affair will
start off on the evening of the third
with grand ball and then for the
next two days, there will be one con-
tinual bunch of joy. The date of
the grand street parade will be an
nounced later.
An auditing committee was ap-
pointed at the meeting last night at
the request of Ed Malley, chairman
of the finance committee. This COM
mittee will audit the accounts at the
completion of the affair and an item
lied statement of both receipts and
expenditures will be published.
The sum of 800 was allotted for
the baseball game, which will be
with an outside team, probably
Reno. Chief Malley is now negoti-
ating with the team in that city and
if he secures a game it will be played
on Sunday afternoon.
The fireworks display will be a
feature in itself, for large sum was
voted for this purpose A prize of
$50 will be given the best float in
the parade. This prize will not be
competed for by the Elks, as their
float will be the greatest and grand
est ever displayed in the west.
The school children in the line of
march will present a pleasing sight.
Every girl will have red, white and
blue parasol, while the boys will
carry a red, white and blue cane and
also flag.
The committee on the parade and
on advertising will hold a meeting
tonight to confer with the school
trustees. This meeting will be held
at the chief of police office.
