RECOMMENDS BELT LINE

1t would be advantageous for the
state to build and operate belt rail-
road over the tide lands and over the
water front, permitting all roads to
move their trains through the business
mart of the city on belt line aud have
their freight cars move over the tracks
and switch on to Wharves for handling
or receiving freight and again return
to the several roads. There is large
tide fiat near the business district
which would afford ample ways for all
switching purposes in connection with
a belt line. A plan might be matured
for arranging with the railroads de-
string to enter the city that they should
build a large part of this line without
cost to the state
For a time one western port con-
trolled all the trade Of the Pacific, but
as the resources of this great south
west developed, the facilities offered by
this mort were soon taken advantage
of in the building up of the southwest
Many obstacles mad to be overcome,

dams had to be constructed to impound

were excaVated to irrigate desert

are now making rapid strides. The
AGRICULTURAL and mineral wealth of this

this vast territory is the bay of San
