ticularly d. f. Hughes, assistant en-
gineer. He paid a high compliment to
the grasp on the scope of the harbor
possessed by Mr.. Hughes, ito whom"
he said, nothing gives so much pleas
ure as the good of the public" He
also praised warmly the work of the
Los Angeles harbor commission and
Secretary Fleming, saying that the
commencement of the tidelands suits
required a great deal of courage. Cap
tain Fries urged the members of the
City club not to forget the men who
were working for free harbor.

corporations were explained by Captain
Fries. Mayor Alexander stood on d
chair and held up the map. The inn
portanCe of development of place for
shipping in advance of its coming and
the necessity for making the harbor
open to competitive commerce were
fully demonstrated with lessons drawn
from the experiences of the continental
ports and applied to San Pedro and
Wilmington.

ment:
BE it resolved by the City club of

it most unfortunate for the city of Los
Angeles if Capt. Amos A. Fries shou1H
be taken from us, and that Los An

than he is needed anywhere else at the
present time; and we hereby request
our representatives in congress to do
all in their power to secure the revoca-
ton of the order transferring Captain
Fries from Los Angeles, and respect
fully urge the proper authorities in the
war department to acquiesce in the
general demand of the citizens and
civic organizations in Los Angeles that
Captain Fries be permitted to remain
in Los Angeles at this crucial period
in the development of what is destined
to be one of the great cities of the
