Investors Alive to Impor
tance of Situation
In rill Us history Pan Pedro has
never shown greater development ac
tivity than at present. The entire har
bor section feels the quickening touch
of fresh capital placed daily by wise
investors, whose, faith in the grrnt fu
turf> <if the harbor towels is unbounded.
Owners of manufacturing enterprises
generally are preparing for the future
with commendable energy. The Pacific
Manufacturing company has enlarged
its plant so that it now lias a capacity
of 26,500 brick per day with drying
sheds to accommodate, a ten days' con
tinuous run. It is expected that the.
output for the season will amount to
about four million brick. Many orders
arc on flic from northern ports, vessels
going from San Pedro to load lumber,
taking this product at a very low rate,
rather than go light altogether. This
is an advantage that could well be In
vestigated by Los Angeles jobbers.
The most Important news for Wilm
ington that has developed for some
time, is the fact that the new grade
proposed by Homer Hamlin, city en
gineer, and the. board of. public works.
providing for a fill of seven feet on
portions of Canal street and at other
points in proportion, is likely to be
accepted without a protest.
As is well known, the present town
site is as it lias always been, about
three feet above the level of the sen.
In some places the tide backs up al
most to the business houses. There
are many depressions in which the
water stands for long periods after the.
winter rains have ceased. If the plans
of the board of public works are ac
cepted this area will all be filled to a
point which will afford a complete and
excellent system of drainage and will
add much to the sightliness of. the town
as a whole.
The appropriations provide for nearly
$400,0110 to be spent In dredßinc In botii
the east and west basins and ft is
known that a portion of the one mil
lion dollars In bonds which have .inst
been voted by Greater l,"s Anjreles
■will be spent in the same manner.

for filling purposes so that the only
expense to be Incurred by the property
owners will be the raising of a few

all of the expedition possible so that
the period of temporary inconvenience
