Over rill ConU Vp Affaln. '
Along the St. Johns waterfront is a
, atrip of public land tbat baa never been
homesteaded. It Is a mile and an
eighth long and 100 to 150 feet wide.
The fact and the possible value of
the property for public purposes came
before a special meeting of the dock
- commission this morning.
ffha city attorney was asked to as
certain .the city's rights.
Copy of communications forwarded by
A. A. Muck to the general land office
was submitted. Mucjc applied to the
government to make necessary meas
urements preliminary to securing title.
Some improvements made by Muck are
on the property.
Xnrcfcaae Is Suggested. 1
Chairman Mulkey said the property
might be bought by the 'city at a
nominal price of $10,000. Commission
er Kellaher insisted that it should be
obtained at little or no cost if possible.
A. new phase in the controversy be
tween Ihe dock and port commissions
over the filling by .the letter of low
lands at the O-W. R. & N. boneyard,
I was Introduced In a letter from the
railroad company. This letter denied
the right of the dock commission t6
' exercise any control whatever, over the
i property or the filling of It. v
pill Objected To.
The dock commission objected to the
fill chiefly on the ground that if the
. boneyard property should be acquired
for public purposes the city would have
to pay for land it had made. Chairman
.Mulkey also suggested that narrowing
. the. channel with artificial deposits of
, earth may increase flood hazard.
' Subject to approval as to regularity
by the city attorney, contract for ad
ditional dredging of the slip in con-
' neetion with the west side public dock
was awarded to the Pacific Bridge com
pany at -a price of 63 cents a cubic
yard. 1e estimate Is that 2500 cubic
yards must be moved.
At the close of the meeting the mem
bers of the commission visited and
Inspected the prison ship, Success,
which is moored at the foot of Yamhill
street.
