Preliminary examinations on these two
charges were set for February "a and 25.

Campbell would vouchsafe.

1--WE propose to begin work on this

This line will open that great val
lev to deep water harbor, Port Har-
ford, on the northern end of San Luis

building a breakwater that is costing
81. .O0O. 900. Naturally this road will revo-

ASK HOW MONEY FOR
PORT WILL Be SPENT
Petitioners Demand City Inform Pub
lie Regarding Expenditure of
100000 to Be Voted for
Harbor Improvements

The Federated Improvement associa-
tion yesterday asked the city council
to make public its plans for the eX-
penditure OF the bond money on Los
Angeles harbor before a vote is taken
on the bonds. The petition asked that
the public be informed what proportion
of the money is to be spent for docks,
WharVes and warehouses.
The petition submitted by the associ-
alton recites the facts and circum-
stances in connection with the con-
solidation with San Pedro, in which it
was agreed that Los Angeles should
Immediately on consolidation expend
on the construction of docks, wharves
and slips along the outer harbor $2,-
100000 of a total of $S,000,0O0 to be
voted.
According to the petition, the former
council failed to specify whether the
whole or any part of the $2,000,000
promised to be devoted to outer harbor
Improvements is to be expended for the
construction of docks and wharVes, but
on the contrary authorized the expend-
iture of the whole $2,000,000 for the ac-
QUESTION of land and for dredging or
for building docks anywhere south of
the center of the turning basin in
Wilmington bay.
1t is also stated in the petition that
the former city council authorized the
expenditure of the whole amount of
money to dig channels in private lands
in the inner harbor owned by the
Southern Pacific company, the Salt
Lake company and the Banning corpo-
ration.
The petition contends that the voters
of the city are entitled to know what
is to be done with the large sum of
money to be voted on for improvements
to he made at Los Angeles harbor and
whether it is to be spent for improve
ments in Wilmington bay, where the
city of Los Angeles owns nothing and
will receive no benefits from such ex-
penditures, or whether it is to be spent
in improvements on the outer harbor
