The following paragraphs from the
report mentioned are of interest in this
connection:
While il is true that ample anchor
age. protected from the violence Of the
ocean weather and approached through
a broad and safe channel from the sea,
IS the primary requisite OF navigation,
vet it may be stated as a broad gen
eralizaticn that an undeveloped port is
OF no advantage in the building of its
seaboard metropolis nor TO the country
lying behind, because no matter how
great its natural advantages ships can
not make economical use of such a port.
Three factors determine the COM
mercial supremacy OF a city by the sea
First, its potential contributary com
inerce: second. the size and accessible
~ of its harbor; and third. the develop
ment Of its docks to meet the require
Inents and accelerate the increase OF its
commerce

possibilities and capable of supporting
a large population, IT is sufficient to
transform shallow inlets into deep and
commodious harbors at the point where
the lines OF intercourse of it's maritime
and interior trade converge. Where
the hinterland is rich in resources and
a natural harbor already exists, cap
able of receiving the commerce of the
world. it is evident that the accelera-
tion of the growth of the port will de-
pend on the remaining one of the three
factors-that is. the development of its
docks.
HARB0R UNSURPASSED
such are the conditions of San
Francisco. Its natural hafbor is un-
surpassed. and there are no physical
limitations TO its tributary trade Its
ultimate sscendency will therefore be
determined in large measure by the
provision of liberal docks and wharves,
with all the mechanical appliances that
facilitate the transfer of merchandise
and passengers from rail to water and
from water to rail without delays or
confusion.
Our association believes that this
describes the conditions that exist in
San Francisco. We have everything
necessary to extend our commercial
Importance. taking in view the coming
OF the Panama canal, with the excep-
tion of the provision of proper harbor
facilities"
1t is claimed that there is no place
on the whole water front of San Fran
cisco that presents such favorable con-
ditions for perfectly protected inner
basin, capable of furnishing more than
four miles OF wharfage room, and
which is so convenient of access to the
Mission. TO the central part of San
Francisco and to the Potrero as the
Islais creek basin. II was estimated by
the engineers employed to look into
the matter that the cost Of reclamation
will approximate about $4,000 an acre
under ordinary conditions, but for har-
Dor purposes no reclamation IS neces-
ssry. On the contrary. dredging will be
required. Something like 1000, GOO
cubic yards will have to be dredged to
obtain a deapth of 80 feet. The cost OF
this is estimated not to exceed S400, ,00G
for the dredging. The soil could be
pumped and deposited south of First
avenue and westerly, reclaiming a large
area Of property which is not now used

which are of general interest. A few
of these may be mentioned.
The rebuilding of Fourth street
bridge with a substantial structure in
place of the one now there. The mag
nificent system of sewers that is being
completed not only along Kentucky
street, but also down Railroad avenue
from Twenty second avenue South 10
the waters of the bay, also the sewers
along Mariposa street from Kentucky
to Mississippi, from Mississippi to
Seventeenth street, on Seventeenth
street from Mississippi TO Rhode ISL
and and along Rhode Island street from
Seventeenth to Division.
1t may be said also in a general way
that more work is being done this
year throughout the whole Potrero dis
trict than has ever been done before
in the whole history of that district.
Streets have been leveled and graded,
lots have been filed in, sewers have
been constructed and the steam shovel
has made wonderful improvements along
the hills of the Potrero.
Since the fire and earthquake, in the
district south of Sixteenth street and
running down to Army between Po-
trero avenue and Connecticut street
thousands of people have gone into
that district and made 1t their home.
| The work that has been accomplished
there is certainly marvellous for the
short period of one year. nothing haV-
