At a meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce a few. weeks ago the matter of
the government ilne In froi.t of the
city aaa discussed. It was represented
to the meeting that the mill In the,
eastern end of the city, particularly the
Tongue Point mill, were shut off from
foreign shipping by reason of the pres
ent location of -.he harbor line.
The chamber' ecretary waa direct
ed to addreaa a tetter to the war depart
merit asking for a new board of sur
vey with a view of re-adjutlng the
hnrbf'r line to conform with the busi
ness Intereats of the port. Secretary
HlK'gini will report the result of hi re
quext to the chamber at it meeting.
Monday night.
In the meantime. Major W. C. Lang
flit ha written a friend here asking
that arrangement be made for a room
r hall In which he may meet the citi
zen of Astoria in the near future and
discui harbor line matters. The Cham
ber of Commerce room will probably be
tendered aa suitable for the purpose
and a date for the meeting will be fixed
in th? near future.
The survey (or the present harbor
lines wa made In 1890 by a board of
survey of which Colonel G. H. Men
dell waa chief. The other two member
of the board were Major Thoa. H.
H.indbury and Captain Thos. W. Sy
nwn. The survey was approved by L.
U. Grant, acting secretary of war.April
22. 1891.
Since the adoption of the report of
the board of survey enterprise that
have grown up In the eastern end of the
town and are reaching out for foreign
trade Ind they cannot extend their
wharves out to deep water because of
the government harbor line. The
Tongue Point mill, just getting under
good way, find itself cut off from for
eign order entirely because prevented
by the harbor line from extending its
dock further Into the river. The line
sway shoreward opposite the mill and
It Is In only 14 feet of water. To make
it poasible to load trans-Pacific vessels
it would be neceeary to extend the dock
about 400 feet Into the water. Water at
the outer edge of the Clatsop mill dock
I 15 to 16 feet deep and to reach deep
water would not require aa much ex
tension of the dock a at the Tongue
Point mill. At the latter, the St.
Nicholas, a deep-water vessel, has been
lying Idle for months for no other rea
son than that she cannot get within
landing distance of the wharf. To load
by lighterage is Impractical, aa It would
add at least 31 per thousand to the
orice of lumber.
The matter of taking step to relieve
the Situation and encourage foreign
commerce will be discussed at the meet
lng of the Chamber of Commerce Mon
day night.
