NEW IONDONS PUBLIC BOAT LANDING.
and
  Terminal for the Grand Trunk

landing for yacltsmen and boats from the naval vessels. This division being more convenient to all parties concern ad, although the three landings will be for the public use and without dis tinction or discrimination. Alderman O'Leary has been close observer of the use of the depot landing since It's construction, and knows that there is absolute necessity. for the proposed additional landings. and is therefore making an early start to have them available as soon as possible.
 Alderman O'Leary is also planning to convert the open space below the cus- tom house, which will be the approach to one of the landings, into a parllet, and what was once sort of dumping ground transformed to a beauty spot in connection with the efforts of sthe Municipal Art league to beautlfy the city of New London.
 There is also an additional boat landing in Wdnthrop's cove, adjoining the Crystal avenue bridge, and the park commissioners will provide for suitable landings at Ocean Beach and Riverside park. So fin the near future there will be a chain of public landings along the water front. which will have a tendency to increase the number of visitors to New London by water route.

Before there was any public landing boatmen had considerable trouble in making landings at the private wharVes for as a rule the owners avarice over balanced their sense of accommodation, and those who came to the city in boats were either ordered away or com pelled to pay a fee for the privilege Of making a landing. On some of the Wharves pfacards were posted bearing these unweicome words: Not a public landing. No boats permitted to land here, under penalty of the law" But when the public landing was construct ed these warnings disappeared, the wharf owners probably realizing their Injustice, and now the time has arriv- ed when it is no longer necessary for the public to use private property In gaining access to the city from the water front. It is Alderman OLeary'g intention to have his committee award the contract for building the two new landings just as soon as possible after the bids are received, so that visitors will have evidence that they are as welcome to the city as the flowers of May.

 Several months ago announcement was made that the Grand Trunk rail- way, which now has tidewater terminal at New London over one of its branch es, the Central Vermont route, was seeking to enter Providence with In tention of establishing foreign line Of steamships from that port. The plan was to enter Providence by way of the Danielson street railway, the charter carrying with it freight as well as passenger privileges. The ProT- dence Board of Trade immediately took action in advancement of the project and rendered its good offices to the Grand Trunk officials. Soon after a special committee was appointed with full authority to treat with the rail- road officials in relation to the pro- posed new route. and, so far as known. there the matter rests. The annual meeting of the Providence and Daniel. son Street Railway company was held in Providence on Wednesday of the present week and no action whatever was taken on the talked-of entrance of the Grand Trunk road into Providence. This extension report, however, stir red the officials of New London into activity and Mayor Mahan became per sonally interested. He brought the matter to the attention of the court of common council and the mayor was authorized to appoint a committee representing the city to confer with the officials of the Grand Trunk rail- way and offer every possible induce ment to have the New London termi- nal developed and thereby making the entry into Providence unnecessary. The mayor has not appointed that commit tee as yet, and it Is therefore taken for granted that the time is not yet ripe for committee action. Mayor Mahan has beyond doubt made himself ac- quainted with the real situation and at the proper time will name the com mitteemen, which will probably be composed of representative citizens, and who as the city's delegation will have weight. with the railroad company officials.
 That the company could be best served by a steamship line at its al- ready established terminal in New London is an indisputable fact. as an open harbor is certainly more favora- ble than a narrow and crooked river. Some years ago a proposition from the Grand Trunk company to improve and increase the terminal at New London was rejected by the court of common

The railroad asked for the oonstrue- ton of an overhead bridge at Sixth street, East New London, and for the elimination of the long grade crossing was known in boyhood days as the Bank. The estimated cost of the bridge was $20,000. In return for this work on the part of the city the rail- road company agreed to expend over $100.0o0 in the erection of a grain ele- vator and in other work to facilitate the handling of freight of all descrip- lions, and with the ultimate view of establishing foreign line of steamers. The whole matter was thoroughly dis cussed, plans of the proposed bridge exhibited and the assurance of the railroad company to its full share of the agreement, but the council did not give the project favorable conshdera- ton.
 Conditions have changed since then and New London has become more progressive and it is believed any fair proposition from the railroad company that would tend to enhance the i'm portance of New London and add to its industrial value would now receive fla vorable consideration.
 The barge Shore Line, formerly a ferrybost that ran between New Lon don and Groton in transferring rail- there was no bridge for that purpose, is now receiving repairs at the ship yard on the Thames river. The first ferryboat on the line was the Union, which had a single track and which was replaced by the Shore Line, which had double tracks and would take on two lines of cars, one on each side of the main deck. The Union, like the Shore Line. was converted into a barge and has probably long since been retired from use. When the Shore Line became inadequate to accommo- date the increasing traffic the big fer ryboat Thames River was subs ttuted and was in service until the big rail road bridge was completed.
 On the day that the bridge was for mally accepted by the railroad com pany from the contractors an inter esting feature of the big celebration. after the transfer in the center of the structure, was the passage of the Thames River mp and down through the open draw. This ferryboat was sold to be used at Baltimore. but on the trip there caught fire and was de- sfroyed. William If. Cone, now an en- ginser on the big bridge. was an en- gineer on the ferTyboat Thames River and is probably now the only @ns that was employed on the ferry service whe is sstiIl in the employ of the sailroAA company

MORE OPPOSITION TO
MERGER IN OCEAN PARK
President of Board of Trustees Is
Against Consolidation of
Town with Los Angeles

OCEAN PARK, Nov. 17.-C. w. Hol-
brook, president of the board of trus-
tees of Ocean Park, tonight declared
against the plan of consolidation of
Ocean Park with Los Angeles.
"I do not believe in joining forces
with Los Angeles" said President Hol-
brook. ocean Park is greatly diff
ferent from other cities of the county
in that it is a beach resort, and 1t is
to the best interests Of all here to have
it remain such. Consolidation with Los
Angeles would eventually mean the loss
of privileges enjoyed by the city which
attract people to the beach, and [ fail
to see the wisdom of change. I am
reminded of promises made by the city
Of Los Angeles to San Pedro which
to my knowledge have not been car
ried out, and we of ocean Park do not
wish to suffer q similar experience"
Byron c. Hanna, city attorney, is
also opposped to consolidation with
Los Angeles in any form, using prac-
tically the same arguments as Presi-
dent Holbrook. DR.. j. M. White,
local student on civic government and
a large property holder, favors con-
solidation If the borough plan is car
ried out, but is opposed to the plan II

RUMOR HUNTINGTON MAY
BUILD TO SANTA MONICA
Magnate Said to Contemplate
Extending Vineyards Line
to the Beach

SANTA MONICA. Nov. 17.-It was
rumored in railroad circles here today
that the Huntington interests, since re-
leasing control of the Pacific Electric
lines, have begun to look on Santa
Monica as a likely place to which to
extend a railway from Los Angeles.
Several reasons are given to support
the rumor, among them being the own
ership of choice lands in this vicinity
the making of costly improvements at
Beverly, eight miles east of here, and
the fact that heretofore Huntington has
made efforts to get franchise through
Santa Monica streets.
Two lines of the Huntington system
extend in this direction as far as Vine-
yard, which is some distance outside
the Los Angeles city limits. From
Vineyard west the Huntington interests
have got rights of way as far as Sem
tous, and 1t is but a short distance
from there to Palms or Beverly, which
ever should be decided upon as the
better route to the beach.
Some time ago the Huntingtons at
tempted to get a franchise into this
city along Utah avenue, but were un-
successful. Since then it has been re-
ported that representatives of theirs
have viewed Fremont avenue as a
practical entrance to the city and
thence to the beach, This street is
soon to be opened from Seventh street
to the city limits. 1t leads toward
Vineyard, and when opened it is the
intention. Of the city to aid in building
a fine highway to open into Pico street,
making a direct and short boulevard
to the beach.
Huntington Heights, a tract of land
including 240 acres near the mouth OF
the Santa Monica canyon, is chief
among the holdings of Huntington
here.
