the date on which the lease is to be
made be advertised in advance so that
anybody may have an opportunity to
bid. Under the law the lease goes to
the highest bidder and the commission
has the right to reject all bids.
In addition to the Western Pacific
business the board will take up the
matter of the extension of the belt
railroad along the southern section of
the water front where the trade is now
growing TO heavy proportions. The
belt railroad on the north end has
grown in usefulness during the last
three years and now instead of be-
ing an expensive luxury is returning
healthy revenue to the state. Out
of the revenue the line has been re-
built and equipped with modern en-
gines and is now conducted as a real
railroad. 1t is proposed to extend the
service 10 the south end, where num-
Der of the big steamship companies
are now located, just as soon as the
land behind the new wharveS has been
put into shape.
