Tho Port dims not wish In tuko up tho surup or any faction or individ

Some yonrn ago a rill wan mado northerly from Pino street of Niut
burg's Addition, which Included Blocks 17 and 1$ or tho Nusburg Addi
tion, tho Coko & Chandler tract, lands ot tho O'Connell catuto, or Frank
Rogora and othors,, containing approximately twetvo acres, tho old bulk
fioat! lino being on tho north lino ot Pino street. In tho present filling
operations theso tracta huo boon designated ns tho Coko & Clmndloc fill.
In this fill was placod 87,20p cubic yards nt material nnd of this amount
Messrs. Coko and Cliuudlor received 26,000 cubic yards. Within tho filled
area sloBsrs, Coko and Chandler lu.vo four ncroa of ground which extends
In n strip' 33.0 root wldu from tho channel back to thq htgh land, '(ho

Last summer, whon tho Port mado Its arrangements for dumping
grounds, W. 8. Chnndlor was out of town und tho Port has never hnd any

dumping ground If It bo.niuo necessary or dosliablo;. to this Mr Coko as
sented, but Insisted that any furtbor oxponso on tho proporty was not Jus

It wus calculated by tho Engineers that all ot tho available apaco on
