Plan FOR FRESNO
CANAL Revived
Freight Rate Report ArOuses
Merchants to Need of
Water Route

The decision of the two members OF
the railroad commission awarding Los
Angeles a rate advantage in the San
Joaquin valley has served to revive the
plan for an all water route between
San Francisco and Fresno. The project
is at present receiving the attention
of Fresno merchants. They are acting
through their chamber of commerce
and newly formed traffic bureau
Frank Hill, manager of the Fresno
traffic bureau, is studying the question.
The ruling of the commission has
opened the way for close cooperation
between the business community of the
San joaquin valley and the merchants
of San Francisco as to the proposed
waterway. The discrimination aimed
at San Francisco by the commission
has already prompted local jobbers to
suggest that no time be lost In opening
the water route.
WOULD DEEPEN RIVER
The Fresno merchants have figures
which Indicate that the total cost OF
the undertaking would be approx
mately- 81 500, 900. 1t is stated that the
great saving 1t would effect would
enable 1t to pay for itself in single
year of operation.
The plan as outlined Is to have the
government deepen the San Joaquin
valley as far as Crows Landing. 1t ts
believed that this could be done for
S1.00O.000. The rivers and harbors bill.
just passed by congress. provides for a
board of engineers to Investigate and
report on the probable cost OF this
work. A canal to extend from Crows
Landing to Fresno 1t is estimated,
could be constructed for $4,000 This
is the figure furnished the Fresno mer-
chants some years ago by engineers
employed.
LEGISLATURE TO ACT
1t is not felt locally that the mer-
chants viii sit quietly and allow the
railroad board to hand out such rulings
as the one just given. 1t is said to be
the intention to have the whole ques-
tion of freight rates taken up by the
next legislature. Commissions which
have examined into the subject state
that the railroad rates in California
are the highest in the world. The in
coming legislature has in it's member
ship several men who believe that the
whole schedule within the state should
be cut In half and that even then It
would leave an abnormal profit.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
compare rates in one section OF Cali
fornia with rates in another part of
the state. The new plan Is to have the
comparison made between rates in
California and those in effect IN other
parts of the United States.
