£0$ §r*g#ti*j §,ft«M. SATURDAY, DEC 27, 1st;!. The DAILY HERALD has nearly DOUBLE tho Circu lation of either contempo rary paper published In Los Angeles. As an advertising medium it is consequently of DOUBLE their value. The Tax on our Commerce. The question of the hour, with the people of Los Angeles and the large area of fertile country the trade of which centers here, is how to get rid ofthe enormous tax upon our com merce, levied by the present clumsy system of lighterage. How great that tax is, few have any idea. Tn# HEK ald, believing that the true policy is to remove all obstacles, Instead of cov ering them up and pretending they do not exist, has opened this discus sion, and is determined to keep it up till the nature of the case is fully un derstood, and some decisive action taken to better our condition. As one step toward placing these facts before the people, we have made some inqui ries about the actual amount of this lighterage tax, ami liud that it costs the trade of Ix>s Angeles more every year, than the entire expense of build ing a narrow gauge railroad to deep water, and constructing the necessary wharves for the accommodation of vessels like the Pacific Mail steamers. This steamship line runs a passenger and freight vessol regularly every six days, or sixty in the year. In addition there are extra vessels run occasion ally, carrying freight. The regular steamers bring from sixty to seventy passengers down, and take from fifty to sixty up, say an average of one hundred and twenty to the trip. Each and every one must pay $1.50 lighter age tax, or $180 for every trip for get ting ashore. This for a year is over $10,000 on passengers alone that is levied on the business of Los Augeles, to say nothing of loss of time, expos ure to the weather, a?id general dis comfort. The average amount of freight received and discharged by each steamer will not fall short of 500 tons measurement, or say 225 tons weight. The cost of lighterage is about $3 per ton, or $675 for each trip, a little over $40,000 a year. Including the passengers $50,000 a year, nearly $1,000 a week, is what it costs Los An geles to transfer business between the railroad and tbe steamers. All our immense lumber trade, our coal, as phaltum, etc., is gouged at a still higher rate. Lumber pays $7 a thousand from the anchorage to Los Angeles, three fifths of which, or $4.20 is for lighter age. It is perfectly safe to asume, that the business transacted by sailing ves sels is equal to the steamer trade, and that a tax of one hundred thousand dollars is paid every year by our peo ple to sustain and perpetuate a hateful monopoly. The real friends of this city arecalled on to reflect upon this, and to remember that this large sum of money is not only a drain upon their pockets, but that it is virtually acting as a bounty for rival ports. Commerce will always seek the cheapest and most convenient chan nels. If we throw obstacles in its way, it will find other ports. These may be unpalatable facts to those who believe in glorifying one's lo cality, at the expense of truth, while they are content to sit still and do noth ing to improve their condition. They are extremely unpleasant to the little clique who are intent on making money for themselves at the expense of the whole community, and who don't care how much the trade of Los Angeles is injured, provided their pock ets are well lined. They are doubtless such facts as the mercenary organ of the lighterage monopoly will denounce as damaging to our interests, but they are facts, and the people must know them, before we can hope that any ef fective measures for relief will be adopted. We can avoid paying this onerous tax only by bringing rail and ship together. A few speculators want us to wait an indefinite but certainly a long period, while they are obtaining a large sum of money from Congress to dredge o't the channel between the harbor and the present terminus of the railroad at AVilmington. The people demand that some means of commu nication with deep water, either by extending the present road as original ly contemplated, or by building anoth er one, shall be secured as soon as possible. The commerce of Los An geles and the vast territory surrounding it, demands this improvement, and we will not be deterred from agitating the question by the misrepresentations of interested parties. If the demand is not satisfied the energetic men that in a Tew years have elevated this city from an obscure town to Its present high rank, will organize a company and build another road, that will deliver their freight at deep water. Shipments to New York. The shipments from San Pedro to New York for the year 1873, foot up as follows: 95,717 gallons wine; 140 tons wool; i-' tons bullion, Ac.; 4,357 dry hides; in all about6Bo tons weight, exclusive of the hides. This freight was ail sent by tho coast steamers to Han Diego, and there transferred to the New York steamer. If our harbor was made ac- cessible to these vessels, the New York steamers would stop at Han Pedro, and our freights would nejd but one hand ling. As it is they go to swell the ex ports of San Diego, There was shipped from Anaheim Landing to New York during IK7.S, 52,442 gallons of wine and two tons of wool, or 414 tons in weight, making from the two points over 1,000 tons of freight. This amount would be largely and steadily increased if the facilities for handling were better, but as long as freight for New York must be first sent by rail to Wilmington, then transferred by lighter to a coast steamer, taken to San Diego, and again transferred to the New York boat, it can be readily understood that we are laboring under disadvantages, that must be removed before we can hope to enjoy an independent trade. Given a railroad to deep water, and the New York steamers instead of passing by, would gladly call for our freight, and we would save a large sum annually In lighterage and freights. Cutting Down Expanses. Eate dispatches from Washington state that tlie Secretary of the Treas ury, frightened at the continually in creasing expenses of the Government, has recommended an increase of taxes, and is engaged in cutting down the estimates to the lowest notch. The sums wanted for forts, rivers and har bors was fixed at $20,000,000, but this amount will be materially reduced. This is not very good news to those who are waiting for an approf riatiou for the purpose of dredging out a chan nel from the harbor to Wilmington, and will be a disappointment to many who have built their hopes on aid from the Government for that purpose, but it is always best to look things fair ly in the face, and every candid man must admit that the prospect is gloomy. The most that can be hoped for, is that the unexpended balance appropriated for the breakwater may be devoted to dredging, and that it may be increased sufficiently to give us deep water on the bar. If this can be accomplished we should have deep water to Rattlesnake Island, and with the road extended to that point, light erage would be abolished and our com merce relieved of a heavy tax. This is a practical plan and the people of this city may be content to wait a rea sonable period, and make every effort to have it carried out, but the nonsen sical proposition that the railroad must stay where it is until the chan nel is dredged clear to Wilmington, will not satisfy enterprising people. General Banning's organ asserts that there is now from seven to eight feet o water at Wilmington, at extreme low tide. This statement is made simply for the purjiose of misleading the peo ple. There is no such depth of water at the wharf, and everybody knows it; in fact at extreme low water the ground is practically bare. To wait appropriations to dig a channel to the railroad, when everything point* to an extreme reluctance on the part of Congress to expending money, is ab surd, and we do not believe our people will be put off with such chaff". Legislating for the Few. The sort of legislation that puts one dollar into the National Treasury and ten Into the pockets of speculators, has unfortunately, always been very popu lar. The whole country has been suf fering from the effects of the tariff', and California especially, is languish ing that a few men may grow rich. Even when it conies to levying in ternal taxes or changing the rates on some article of import, care seems to be taken to give somebody a chance to turn an honest penny. When the whiskey tax was first levied, the time that it was to take effect was placed a long way ahead, and stocks on baud were exempt. Of course every distil lery in the United States run to its full capacity until the hour the tax took effect, and millions went into the cof fers of the whiskey ring that should have belonged to the government. So when the question of increasing tlie revenue came up, before the present Congress, the managers of our finan ces have fixed things so that the specu lators can get a bite. Tea and coffee have advanced in price some ten per cent in consequence of the contem plated imposition of duty. And of course the matter will be kept open until the market can be well stocked, and dealers will make a good thing. Congress was urged at the very start to act promptly, and let the people know just what to expect. Rut that wasn't in the programme. PACIFIC COAST ITEMS. The Inyo Independent tjalls upon Joseph Earl to resign tlie position of Register of the Land Office, on the ground that he is a land speculator. Don't put water tanks on the tops of your houses. Dr. Stout, of the Mate Board of Health, says they are the source of fevers and other diseases. The Reese River Reveille says the chickens in and about Austin are suf fering from scarlatina, whooping cough, epizootic, tic dolereux, or some kindred disease. RockyjMountain coal is delivered in Salt Lake at $7 50 per ton. It costs over three times that price in Virgin ia, but then railroads and monopolists must live. Near Sutter£reek recently a China man named Kee Wah was found lying on a hill with his neck broken. It is supposed he slipped down the hill, and thus met his death. The Eureka, )Nev.) Sentinel says the aggregate bullion shipments of all the furnaces in the district forthe.cur rent year amount to $3,907,784 14, which it thinks is a pretty good show ing for Eureka. The Nevarro Mill Company floated 3,000 logs to their boom lately. They expect to boom at least ten times that number before Spring . High times and high water over at the coast for saw-mill men.

A little over a year more, tad the lflilltli anniversary of tlie Hut tie of Hunker Mill will take place. A little band of heroes, then Inaugurated a struggle, which brought untold results. It is very fitting that theirdeedsshould be commemorated. The nation at large is very justly arranging for a celebration on an extensive scale, of the centennial aimiversury of this event This will Instil patriotic impulse into the souls of those of the coming generations, and prepares them for the struggles, which they, In life, must undergo. Overhanging lios Angeles is a hill similar to Hunker Hill —imy, it is larger. From it all the city can be seen and the country for miles around. On this hill also, are military marks, tlie remnants of a fort, which was built tor the protection of liberty in this State. This bill has an ave nue running along its crest, and our friend Beaudrv, through whose in fluence chiefly it lias been opened, has very appropriately named it Bunker Hill avenue. The City Surveyor has been ordered to define the grades and lines of Olive, Charity.and Hunker Hill avenue, from Hill to Hope; Second street, and Temple street, from Hill to Hope. This will bring these lands within easy reach ofthe business part of the city. The distance to the Court House is less than it is from the Turn ers Hall. Mr. Beaudry being the owner, by perfect and indisputable title, offers the following scheme, believing that it supplies a felt want. His various tracts have been sur veyed, and platted in lots of conveni ent size for residences, upwards of two hundred in number, and the maps, to gether With abstracts of title, are kept for public inspection at his office, op posite the Pico House. Any pei-son desiring to purchase can inspect the land, select his lot or lots, and acquire the same, If not previously taken up by another, upon the follow ing tern.s:* Purchasers not being re stricted to a single lot. Tbe purchaser or his successor to pay the fixed price of the lunds selected by' him, in equal monthly install ments, a» follows: On lots valued at $400 and upwards, but not to ex ceed Sort), Slo per month; on those valued at &100 and upwards, and less than $400, SlO per month. Pay ments in gold or currency, and no in terest demanded. For cash in hand a reduction of fifteen per cent, will be made. The purchaser to have immediate possession upon payment of the first installment and on execution and de livery of contract. The fight of the purchasers may be assignable by him, and his assigns to succeed to all his privileges and lia bilities; standing In all respects to wards thevendopaaan original obligor. Purchasers shall not be restricted to the payment of the installments as above shown, but may make pay ments in advance, and on all such payments he will allow one per cent, per month, from the date of payment until said payment would become due. Upon selection of a lot or lots by a mirchaser, and payment of the first in stallment with five dollars, in V. S. gold coin, as expenses on the docu ment, Mr. Beaudry with the pur chaser, will execute and acknowledge a sealed agreement, embodying the above conditions; and, upon full pay ment, according thereto, the under signed will execute and deliver to the purchaser, or his lawful representa tives, on demand, a good and sufficient and absolute deed of conveyance of the contracted lands, in form of war ranty against grantor, the grantee paying the cost of such deed. These proposals will be kept open until the 12th day of February, 1.574. The location is very desirable. All that has heretofore' been lacking is water, and that want is now fulfilled. Anywhere else, in as desirable loca tion,lots readily command from $500 to $1,000 and even higher rates. This property Is put at the astonishing low price Of from |M oto $400. But this is not all. This may be paid in currency and a reduction of fifteen per cent will be made for cash in hand. L. TERRY, M.' D., |?CL K( rt tt •TH YS TCIA X.
