Custom House Trustees Find
Railroad and Steamship Conn

Especial Dispatch 10 The CalIl

MONTEREY. May Is. - Through
letter read this afternoon to the trus-
tees of the historic old custom house
here it was learned that the Southern
Pacific company, the Pacific Coast
steamship company and a dozen or
more small local concerns We're illegally
occupying property on the custom
house reservation.
Several months ago a question arose
as to the Legality of erecting buildings
on the reservation. Attorney William
Sandholdt, secretary of the board of
custom house trustees, took the ques-
tion up with the treasury department
at Washington. In reply he received a
letter from the secretary of the treas
ury, part of which follows:
The records of this department show
that the Southern Pacific railroad COM
pany has no right to occupy the Gus
tom house reservation with it's tracks
and is there merely as matter of
sufferance. SO far as the Pacific Coast
steamship companys location of a
wharf on the reservation is concerned,
there is nothing in the records of the
department to show that any permit
for the purpose has been granted. This
company is also apparently in occu-
pancy of the wharf and roadway to
reach the same by sufferance and not
otherwise"
