OUR WATER FROXT.
ARSHFIELD'S stragetic position
In relation to the peninsula of
C003 Bay is excellent. The city has
a water frontage on the west side of
the hay fully four miles long, while
its topographical position allows of
unlimited expansion. Settlement, like
commerce, follows the line of least
resistance. When the stream of Im
migration into Coos Bay shall have
multiplied the present population un
til the corporate barrieis are wiped
out and what was North Bend, Marsh
field and Empire are merged into
one municipality, the tide of settle
ment seeking additional area will
move to the southward, and thus
from the north point of the peninsula
of Coos Bay far hack inland will be
tho greater city of Coos Bay.
Wo must not, however, let any
sanguinity of Coos Bay's future blind
us to the Imperative necessity of
guarding zealously the foundation
upon which all the hopes for the
bay's future are founded. We refer
to the waterfront. A seaport town
with a bottled waterfront is like a
strong man in Irons. Although by
natural law It must grow It Is shac
kled and the scope of its commercial
and industrial progress is warped.
At present the water front of North
Bend is superior to that of Marsh
field because tho wharfage is unob
structed. With tho magnificent chan
nol paralleling Marshfleld's water
lront the wharf should be clear of all
obstructions for at least a distance
of fifteen or twenty-five feet. This
could bo accomplished by co-operation
of the city with tho govern
ment. Permission could be obtained to ex
tend the water front fifteen or twenty
feet and the council could establish
a line which no obstructions could
pass. This would be an easier rem
edy than the condemning of the
hufldings which now occupy the water
iront. Which ever method is pur
sued somothlng needs to be done at
onco. Marshfield should have a clear
"water front. We cannot hope to
compqte as a seaport If we do not
co-operate to the full extent of our
power toward those fends which will
nurture the shipping business.
At present our wharves are lined
with buildings which only act as a
detriment to shipping. Tho remedy
for this, "condition Is in the (.hands of
the Marshfield city council.
While the matter of buildings on
our water front is ono requiring im
mediate attention it presents no seri
ous phases, for the Times believes
whatever method is followed the
property owners along the wharf will
realize fully tho necessity of rectify
ing the present condition, and act ac
cordingly. The ultimate disposal of
the water front is by far tho most
serious question the city will bo
called on to solve. Under no con
sideration, whatever the circum
stances might be, should tho city of
Marshfield allow the water front to
pass from under tho direct guardian
ship of the city. We refer more par
ticularly to franchises which may be
asked for along the water front.
Franchises are subtle Instruments. A
sage once replied when asked for a
definition, that "a franchise is a play
on words, which with each succeed
ing reading presents a different
meaning."
Any railroad company securing a
water front franchise along the west
ern side of Coos Bay harbor is re
ceiving an instrument with a face
value of $100,000. That amount of
value Is given away by the city of
Marshfield. It Is to be regretted
I that we have not a stretch of wharf
owned by tho city, but we can in a
large measure make amends for that
by the provisions of the franchise
with which th0 use of the water front
Is granted.
Not only should it provide for a
common user clause, but it should
stipulate specifically the amount to
be charged for handling the cars of
any railroad company that might
come in; also the charge for hand
ling the freight from ocean carriers.
This last is of vital importance, for
it provides against any discrimina
tion that might in the future be made
by some railroad company getting
control of the water front line. If
one particular road operating boats
in conjunction should gain control
and wish to keep a rival company
out it could be done effectively by
charging the rival prohibitive rates.

ENLARGES SYSTEM
Put
The Coos Bay Water Company has
under way extensive Improvements In
connection with Its water system. It
has ordered a new pump of the
Worthington type with a capacity of
1,250,000 gallons a day which it is
getting ready to install, and which,
in connection with the old pump, will
give a capacity of nearly 2,000,000
gallons per day. This will admit of
a large growth of population and an
increase over the .present consump
tion of water, j&lnjconnectlon with
tbe now pumpYwlUjfBhortly be in
stalled a twelvoiimjjlv' supply pipe to
the reservoir. It has also plans for
improvement and enlargement of the
reservoir which will greatly 'increase
the storage capacity. This Improve
ment, in addition to the laying of a
larger main from the reservoir to the
distributing system, will receive the
company's attention before long.
