SCHEME TO GRAB ' HINGE Swan Island Channel Dredg ing Plan Would Encroach orr Harbor Lines for Bene fit of Few, It Is' Said. . ; MAP' MADE BY CITY IN 1833 WHEN CITY LIMITS WERE EXTENDED NORTHWARD S M7 J. B. Zlegler. . At tbe la$t roeetlnjr or ttat dock com - mission" Messrs. Burgard and. Moortx i w( re appointed a committee to take up " with tjie port Commission the matter ' of relocatlns the : harbor lines about Swan islanJ. The subject had .been introduced by. Harbor, Master Speler, for r the purpose of increasing the .harbor area available for anchorage, and to re lieve ?tUe curve In the channel at tho north end of the island? Mr. Bpeler a Information th at sometimes there tt ' ' six or seven vessels In the .harbor at ihkt with the room required for anchor, cables, is about the limit of the capacity of the harbor,; will be news '.to some. ' ,-' '!-' ''-''-"'i'l'. Under such condition II certainly seems, that our city fathers would con ni.ler tha matter of encroachments upon the harbor area as aquestion of greater cravitv than" they appear to 00, , . Botli objects of. the harbor master's nroDosal are laudable ones, but as it Is nronnned to 'extend the wharf line far tlier into the harbor on the West side , of the west tfhannel, and to, fill hi adja- "eht submerged lands 'Wltlj thj mater ial dredged out from the end (of the Island, it only amounts to swapping off t area in the west channel for area at the- south point pf the island. -A the ' -wsst channel-Is now only used for small river craft and" the anchorage room Necured -wOufd be out of the" w.ay of ship's channel; the change would be t prosent advantage, but ' it Is" still an encroachment of the" abutting owners on JI19 west bank, and' the, public loses again to .them, property Improved by fills made at public expense.. Jffo Tills "Between High and tow Water. . In th first place, it Is not necessary - that the whaft linea be extended, t'j " make places to deposit dredglngs, nnf that it' be deposited on submerged ianJs between low and high water line, belong- V Ing to 'the People, that, they may be " buliclrp anl converted to the title of the abutting upland proprietor.' TUivt ' are plenty of lowlands above the 14 foot -level designated by the Jock- com mission as the ordinary high , water line (the U. 8. engineers' office vail" 1? feet -tho flood stage) which' would be bene fited by receiving... these dredglngs.. It ' would be a little more expensive re- , woval, but would save the public harbor -area. .,. . . . . . "The " map reproduced herewith wss drawn by City Englner D. W.

"exterior wharf," hot - harbor line," as It Is now called. The latter Is merely a local name ap plied by those seeking to convert Jt into a property lino instead of a wharf line. As fulls: shown heretofore, the claim of the upland proprietor to ownership of tho Wharf line is baseless, but if built up by the dredging operations, of U10 . port, It la conferred upon the abutting owner by a clause- in the port act. Weod Kepeal of Vicious (ftauit la Port ; - Act,: The repeal of this clause is a part of the legislation I have suggested, ami it should bo covered by hn initiative and :". submitted, to the people at the first op : portunfty,",.: v The "proposed whai f . lines" of this 1 ' map were city linea. The federal lines were not established until 1892. They differ from the present wharf lines in that the west channel is only 700 feet, while the present one is 1000 to 1200 feet. Yet the submerged lands between Front- street and the wharf Hue. is about the same at Doekslte No. 1 (about , 350 fect)r but Increasing to the north ward" until it reaches about. 1000 fet at the O.

Had this man-been retained in the city records; it. would have established dock site NO. 1 as pub lic property, and the public would not have beenunder the necessity of paying 1800,000 to get it now. . ..

That is, public of flclals, without legal authority or power to do so,- for a mess of pottage, -have sought to give away-this valuable birthright. The public records" have .been changed to show public property as private prop erty, and administered in behalf of pri vate Interests against the public, by men salaried by the public. It wilt.al8o be noted that, since" dock site No. 1 was . located, that the North Pacific Terminftl company has extended Its tracks down Front street "past the dock site (two tracks from A.to'B, one from B to E) so as to obstruct the exit of dock-connecting tracks. This was done, without a city franchise, on a franchise ' claimed to - Ijaye been ' pb taihed from the county, prior 1 to 1883. Such a fluke as this would be obviated by the common terminal district amend ment to the charter I asked the revision committee' to present to the council for the June .election, and which they, of" course turned down, . ; , The American Can Company's ground (C)-has been, eliminated from the dock site, and the Martin" Dock company's ground (M), on the north side, substi tuted. This-was because the can com pany wanted 1100,000 for their shed. Xhe fact that a deeper water front on the west side, opposite wan Island, shows on the present map than this old one, although the channel was ' maile wider,- is due to the fact that In the relocation, the chahnfl was located.
