CANAL STREET FILL ACCEPTED

In all it's history San Pedro has
never shown greater development ac-

Dor section feels the quickening touch
of fresh capital placed daily by wise
investors. whose faith in the great fu-
ture of the harbor towns is unbounded
Owners of manufacturing enterprises
generally are preparing for the future
with commendable energy. The Pacific
Manufacturing company has enlarged
it's plant so that it now has capacity
of 26,600 brick per day with drying
sheds to accommodate ten days con-
tinuous run. 1t is expected that the
output for the season will amount TO
about four million brick Many orders

rather than go light altogether This
is an advantage that could well be in
vestigated by Los Angeles iobbers.
The most important news for Wilm-
ington that has developed for some
time is the fact that the new grade
proposed by Homer Hamlin. city en-
gineer, and the board of public works,
providing for a fill of seven feet on
portions of Canal street and at other
points in proportion, is likely to be
accepted without a protest.
As is well known. the present town
site is as it has always been, about
three feet above the level of the sea.
In some places the tide backs up al
most to the business houses. There
are many depressiOns in which the
water stands for long periods after the
winter rains have ceased. If the plans
of the board of public works are ac-
cepted this area will all be filed to a
point which will afford a complete and
excellent system of drainage and will
add much to the sightliness of the town
as a whole.
The appropriations provide for nearly
$400, 900 to be spent in dredging in both
the east and west basins and it is
known that a portion of the one mil
lion dollars in bonds which have just
been voted by Greater Los Angeles
will be spent in the Same manner.
