SAN PEDRO ROBBED OF
NATURAL ADVANTAGES
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Makes Ruling

WASHINGTON, July 19.-"When
one community leans upon another for
its competitive rates, the benefit of
such rates ought not to be denied to
the point where the competitive con-
ditions exist"
This is the essential feature of an
opinion handed down today by the in
terstate commerce commission in the
case of the Harbor City Wholesale
company of San Pedro, Cal, against
the Southern Pacific company and
other carriers.
Originally Los Angeles was made a
terminal rate point because of its
proximity to the harbor of San Pedro.
1t was shown that competition through
the harbor contributed to the mainte-
nance of terminal rates to Los Angeles.
In view of these facts, the commission
held that the defendant lines in this
case We're guilty of an unlawful dis
elimination against San Pedro in not
making it also a terminal rate point.
The commission held that a rate ad-
iustment which deprived San Pedro of
the benefit of its own geographical pO-
sition while according the benefit to
Los Angeles constituted an undue dis
elimination.
The commission refrained from en-
tering an order in the case at this
time, but suggested that in the refusal
of the carriers voluntarily to adjust
the matter properly an order manda-
tory in its effect would be forthcoming.

recently at the Alexandria doing car

tends to cut through the east jetty tC
the detriment of the public interests
The city attorney and the council:
harbor committee will act on the mat
ter at once
In the report to the council the har'
Dor commission said:
The Harbor Line board, COM
posed of three government en-
gineers, appointed for the purpose
of recommending harbOr lines in
Los Angeles harbor, at that time
known as San Pedro and Winning
ton harbor, after a public hearing
held at Wilmington, June 1S 1908,
recommended to the war depart
ment a plan of harbor lines, which
was subsequently approved by the
secretary of war and declared to be
the permanent harbor lines be-
tween the pier head lines of which
must be kept clear for the use of
navigation and commerce.
The pier head line so estab-
lished, Just north of Dead Mans
ished, Just north of Deadman's
call to your attention.
PLAN To CUT JETTY
In the recommendations of the
engineers it was provided that a
harbor line be established approx
mately 80 feet from the east jetty
in the inner harbor, beginning at
the government reservation line
around Deadman's island and ex-
tending northerly about 1000 feet
along the double work of the east
ietty to the special government
reservation. This leaves a plat of
ground fronting on the channel of
the inner harbor, approximately
1000 feet frontage by 30 feet in
depth which in the near future,
will, in the opinion of this board,
be very valuable.
The Pacific Wharf & Storage
company is reclaiming a large tract
of land directly east of and ad-
joining the east jetty, which sep
arates the public frontage and the
concession of the company The
plan, as this board is informed, is
to cut through the ietty permits
to do so having been obtained from
the government.
The companys general plan of
improvement at this time as this
board is informed, is to construct
two slips between 500 and 1900 feet
long and 240 feet wide, with a pier
between 120 feet wide, connecting
the same with the channel in the
inner harbor by cutting the jetty
and extending the slips and pier
through the frontage. which the
city controls for the use and bene-
fit Of the public. The contemplate
ed improvement, as we understand
it. will, if made, destroy approx
mately all of the public frontage.
This board is informed that the
company's dredger is now placed
in the channel and work has COM
menced to prepare channels for
such connection. preparatory to
cutting the east jetty.
