We were 1 out over the Delta Land & Water I Company's project, aud It certainly J looks line for the first year that water I has been put on It. I "In regard ta the big Improvement at Ixis Angelea by the construction of ! great coal pocket there, I would say I that the chief engineer of our com- i pany, E.0. Tilton, has conferred with I the harbor commission. The harbor I commission has talked about widen- t lug the harbor at the narrowest place, v where our wharves are located. If c they decide to do anything It will not be lor several months yet, and then t we shall have to plan to move back some of our wharves. j "We have made no plans for the con- t ruction of coal pockets and shall not e do so until some definite action Is I u tnken by the harbor commission or t the city of Ios Angeles, I believe 4 that we shall not make any change c there this year. We expect a heavier a trade when the Pan ami canal It ( opened to traffic, but wo have pleiii) c of time to prepare for that." |
