Municipal Dock tit United Stoles "In the United Status tho large cities of tho Atlantic and 1'ad He,, uncovered that tho concern or hnvo realized tho Importance of ni,,ui.0 v hlch produces or trammels public dock aside from tho docks n-dnes;. with the greatest economy owned and operated by private w )0 nblo to underbid Its com nionmBliln linns. On May 25 of last,,). Hints. In no sphere of actlvit !.m year n National Conference was hold at Toronto with delegates from vnri Ions parts of tho United Stntos, Can ada and Great Britain, nnd It wns tho concensus, of opinion that tho water front is n horltngo of great valuo to tho citizens, nnd that It should be 1 municipally owned nnd developed for tho grentcst bcnoflt of all tho citi zens of this and future generations. "Not only tho ocean ports, but tho largo river nnd lako ports have built nnd nro now building largo concrete plorB equipped with modern machi nery for handling nil classes of frolght economically nnd quickly whoro boatH bolonglng to no pnrll rulnr lino nnd commonly known ns tramp stcamcre or hchoonors could bo assured of safo doclmgo at n small ex pen so. l)nrkH on Pacific Coast. "The most Important dock on tho Pacific ConBt Is tho 0110 now being completed nt Lob Angolos or San Pedro proper at an expense of nearly five million dollars, and I might nlsn add that prlvnto owned docks 1200 foot long nnd 280 foot wldo hnvo also been completed.. "In Snn Francisco tho Harbor Commissioners built six piers 120 to 200 foot wldo nnd 075 to f00 feet long, with reinforced concroto plorfl and dock and with sheds of stool nnd concroto nt n cost of thrco million dollars, In Seattle. The Port Commission of Sonttlo lias under way plans for tho construc tion of perhaps tho most elaborate munclpal dock systoni on tho Pacific Const and n bond Issue has boon authorized for seven mlllon dollars. Tho plntiH Includo cold storage ware houses with capacity of about (110 carloads of apples or othor fruits. This building will bo flvo stories high, built of concrete, tho roof will bo used ns a roof garden and will be under tho Jurisdiction nnd bo main tained by tho Park Hoard. In I'oitliiud. In Portland tho commission of public docks bus completed munici pal dock number one, which Is Rl.'l foot long nnd 110 foot wldo, at nn expense of $210,000. Additional un its nro under construction unit the work when completed will cost In the neighborhood of fourteen million dollnrs. "It Is thoroforo evident that tho Hiibjcct of municipal ownership of docks Is not n now one, nor Is it tin oxporlmont, but It has boon succoeK fully nccoptcd iib tho solution of u great question.
