IN NORTH PORTLAND
HARBOR
ADVOCATED
Chamber Mindful of Need of
Several Industrial Concerns
Now Awaiting Locations.
With several Industrial concerns de
siring factory sites In North Portland,
but delaying1 actual purchase until per
manent harbor Improvements can be
guaranteed,, the department of Indus
tries of the Chamber of Commerce is
urging the Port of Portland commission
and the United States engineers to get
together on some definite plan for the'
Improvement of North Portlanl harbor.
A. permanent backwater harbor of suf
ficient depth to accommodate any vessel
coming up the Columbia river was guar
anteed several years ago -after the har
bor was dredged out and a bulkhead
.was built across the upper end of the
channe! between North Portland and
Itayden Island. This bulkhead was to
work a double purpose by keeping silt
from fining up the North Portland har
bor and to divert the waters of the
Columbia to scour out a channel for
Vancouver.
The bulkhead was a success1 In at
taining these two ends, but the scouring
process on the Vancouver side of the
river threatened to undermine the 8.,
P. A a bridge supports. Officials of
the railroad threatened suit to force re-
moval of the bulkhead, but it suddenly
sprunk a leak and has been in that
condition since. ,
The size of the break in the bulkhead
has permitted the carrying of silt Into
the North Portland harbor. Several
deep waiter ship are due in the harbor
soon and industrial concerns are urging
the Immediate improvement of the har
bor and adoption of a policy to main
tain a permanent depth. .
