Those directly Interested Ja the ship
ping business at this port say that pub-
lio docks are needed at Portland, and
that until they are secured the -city will
never become the great commercial cen
ter that It should be. All the dock are
owned by private .transportation com pa-
nles. sjid. U .Jalaald that their repre
sentative devote their energies' te the
work ef keeping opposition line from!
establishing themselves, here. '
If number of. dock were owned and
operated by ths eity th declaration 1
mad that more coasters would com to
Portland. It la explained that the own
er of Independent lines have great dif
ficulty In securing landing privilege
In the harbor. Some are obliged to go
to the wharves in the outskirts ot the
city, where exorbitant rate - are
charged. The tariff la zi cents a ton
for alt freight cared for on the dock,.
where It Is stored before it is cartea to
tb City. -r -STTT-
At San Francisco, offlclala or me ont-
slde transportation com parties aay. the
dock are wned and operated by tb
atate' and freight can be seared on any
of them at s xenta s. ton. irj)-o barge
Is supposed to be sufficient tqln'vat all
the expenses of maintaining them, such
aa employing wharfingers" and Inaurano.
While there Is no Immediate likelihood
that this plan wUl be adopted at Port
land. It is asserted that -a - great Im
provement -In the local sltuaUon- could
be brought about If the city would
build and operate number of modern
HScks. . , , (.;, - . -
The patronage would be sufficiently
great to pay all expanse of keeping
them in proper ahap. It I said, and at
tha aam time it would do more to ad
vance the Interest of the port than any
ether, step that could be taken. If the
matter should be agitated and taken up
by the commercial bodies of the city It
la believed that good result would fol
low. More staamahip eompania would
at one be placed la operation from
thia port v - .-'
