There has been a lot said lately , ' about Bridgeport Bwan leand . and " Mock Bottom, and there should be a lot more said, and keep It up until something tangible is done. seems i to me that Mock, Bottom- should be cut out of the argument, so far as the city s concerned. It is nothing but a hole la the ground, so to speaJt, It Is surrounded . on a'l sides except, the river by 'almost perpendicular bluffs, so high that It would be Impractical to get a decent grade to a street out flf it, except up or down tha, river, It Is an ideal ' place for grain, elevators and should be left for the railroads to se cure and utilise for that purpose, only to transfer grain from rail to water. My idea would e for the city to e cdre all of the water front from the North Pacific. Lumber company's prop erty to the 8. P. & 8. bridge, and as much ct Giles Xaka as . possible; also Bwan Island, and pump the sand from the island over Into Giles Lake and fill it up to grade, clear out to the dock line and down to tho 8. P. A 8. bridge. This would give the city all the dock space it will require for a good many years to come for transferring freight from rail t . water and water to rail, the docks farther up tbe "river to be used for the city merchants. ' It would be a big undertaking for the city ' n purchase all of the ground I have men tioned, Including , G ties Lake, but rt would be a profitable Investment fof the future, for it would give a fine place for the sand pumped from Swan Island and after !t was filled to grade it could be sold ror warehouse and fao- tory purposes, at a big profit on lh investment." i ',,.-:... -.: .". Should It not b : advisable . to pur chase all of this ground, the city , could, no doubt, make a deal with the owners of Giles Lake to fill It up to grade at a price that would be profitable, but tne space zor tae mg line docks should be between the North Pacific Lumber companrs property and the 8.
