GRAVESTONE OF BABALT. Natural Monument to Be Reared Over the Tomb of Mrs. Watts. | HEALDSBURG, June 19.—L. S. Watts of San Francisco, field assistant in the State Mining Bureau, who lost his wife some time ago, formed the idea of secur- Ing a natural basalt monument for her grave. The ter was placed in the hands of T. C. Mathyas, the mineralogist, | | formerly of the Mining Bureau. Last week Mr. Mathyas found on Mill Creek, three miles from Healdsburg, probably the hest specimen of basalt in the State. It twelve feet long and consists of four col- | umns stuck together, weighing probably that I-| o ¥ pounds. The shafts are six-sided al prisms, and v in thickness from a few inches to three feet. George W. Milis of Healdsburg has undertaken to place the monument on the cars for ship- | and expects to | land it at the depot on Monday.

CEE B | SEAWALL OUGHT TO BE Ex-i | Some time ago the active members of | the Chamber of Commerce decided that they wanted more information and knowl- | edge as to the facilities of the harbor front for handling the commerce, ent and future, of San Francisco. Ti end a special committee was appointed to investigate harbor front affairs. The com- mittee consisted of John Dolbeer (chair- man), Robert Dollar, R. J. Chapman, Bdward E. Kentfield and W. H. Marston. Yesterday the gentlemen made public their report, which is as follows: Dear Sirs: The special committee appointed by your honorable body to investigate matters pertaining to the harbor and water front beg to report as follows: We did not suppose it was intended so much now to go into the past history of the management of the water tront, inasmuch as that has been quite thor- | oughiy investigated by the speciul committee | for the State Senate, and a report made to | that body accordingly, but rather to look more particularly fnto the present status of the fa cilities afforded shipping interests and ments, it any, could be sug both to the present and fu- e our commercial interests. We | have had several conferences with members of the B tate Harbor Commiss! ers and their Mr. Howard C. Holme: as | well as meeting the board in session, to all of whom we desire to extend our thy for their assistance and courte: A reduction has re- cently been made in the expenses of the State Harbor mmissic particularly in reduc- | ing the - employed. The amount thus ved, being not less th; % per month, this ction is most commendable and one greatly needed. W st. however, that the ¥ and retrenchment will 1 and result in much addition From the ccounts presented it ap- the expenditure for the year end- June 30, 1888, exceeded the receipts 683 29. Expenditures include amount = 2 transferred from San Francisco harbor im- rovement fund to depot sinking fund, but paid out of depot t spirit of ecc tinue to prev saving. pears that ing fund mount, being for interest on_ the depot s and to provide a fund fo redemption | Wharfage and Tolls—Owing to the urgent q not only to maintain the ef- ficiency of the present structures, but - vide means for extending the 'seawall and buildige new wharves, we do 1ot suggest any reduclon in charges now made for whari- age and tolls, -ving it more expedient to have suitable and ample accommodations for our commerce than to effect a 1l saving on h cargo. In the future when such large penditures for maintenance and construc- | tion not be necessary, it will then be time to consider the matter of reducing these charges. the case of say a 2000-ton salling charge of Iying at the wharf now is 50 per day, but should such in the stream, unable to find suitable dockage, it would not be unreasonable to estimate the cost at §$100 per day for the time of the vesse Accommodation—We find that from time to as been made of lack of ac- n for vessels at the wharves, but areful consideration we are satisflied that as not auch for lack of space « for want of acceptable room convenient to come particular locality or at a covered wharf, but admitting this, we certainly would recom mend that suc steps be taken as will vide sufficlent berths of the kind needed. We find also in some instapces berthe deeirable for handling general cargo are occupied almost permanently by coal barges, and recommend that these should be moved when any \'es~sl‘ requires the space for loading or discharging While it may.be true also that for the presen number of wvessels in the harbor some Kind of accommodation may be found, we feel taln that in the autumn months when whaling, sealing and salmon fleet arrive, to speak such vessels as will then to load ovr wheat and other products will not be room enough New wharves—In order, therefore, to help to yme extent to obviate this difficulty, which we believe imminent and which will result in great loss caused by vessels waiting for berths, We respectfully recommend that a new wharf of the most modern character be built im- mediately north of the Fishermen's wharf, ac pro- cer- the not ome there between it and the Lombard-street ferry slips In order to do this it will be necessary to nge these slips by doing away with Slip T and making in its place a Slip between 2 and Lombard-street pier, also extending 2 at the proper regular pier line; running it N the southern side of Slip No. angle out to_the from this end a line of piles to the seawall | nd at a right angle to it. thus obliterating | p No. 1 and gaining one side of a whart | and a large area back of it for handling cargo and freight. This work, we think, should be started immediately, as’ preliminary steps for | increasing the facilities of the water front cannot be undertaken too soon. We further suggest that the Fishermen's wharf be re- moved and an extra large covered pler be built In this_way two fine wharves could be obtained. The Fishermen's wharf could be moved to the end of Section B of the sea wall, near the foot of Jones street. The wall could be partially extended to form a breakwater which afterward would serve as | a foundation for the permanent structure in the future, the space thus closed in between the breakwater and the present shore line afford- ing protection for the fishing boats. | Seawall-The foregoing suggestion naturally brings us to a consideration of the seawall. In our opinlon, it is very necessary that this work be extended southerly from its present terminus. As this wall Is completed, new and substantial piers could be built and so ar-| ranged that about double the accommodation now afforded between ferry slips and Pacific Mall dock be obtained. Present condition of wharves—Owing to the manner of construction and the ravages of the Teredo Navalls and Limnoria, we realized that the expenditure of large amounts of money Is necessary to keep the present piers in repair and note that the Commissioner: have recently let contracts for repairing How ard-street wharf No. 1 and No. 2, also Harri- son-street wharf. Whart structure—In this connection we de- sire to recommend the system of construction 0 ably advocated by the Engineer, Mr. H. C. Holmes, and demonstrated in Pler No. 7 and Pler No. 12. These structures rest on pier. each composed of concrete surrounding a suit able number of piles, generally three, closed in fron boiler casing. We als 3 indorse the plan of making the new wharves 100 feet wide or more, which we understand i« recommended by the Commissioners, and where practicable 800 feet long instead of about 00 feet as at present. Also, that in the con- struction of new wharves, the aim should be to give as much additional covered space as will be found convenient, such being particu- larly desirable for discharge of general mer- chandise cargo. As a further means of afford- ing additional wharf room, we recommend the suggestion of H. C. Holmes, made in his re- port, that a large pler or breakwater be con- | structed at a sufficient distance north from Pler No. 27 to_afford say four wharves he- tween them. This pier to be filled in solidly and be 800 feet long and about 300 feet wide, £0 made that vessels could lie alongside and afford a means of bringing car and ship to- gether by having railroad tracks laid on ft, Belng solid it would offer the best method of carrying a suitable sewer out to the end into deep water and offer protection from the north wind and swell coming in from the ocean. Also following the suggestion of Mr. Holmes, we would recommend that another such pier be built at about the foot of Harri- | son or Bryant street, this letter serving as a protection 10 neighboring piers from the damaging effects of southeasterly storms. Funds—As to the funds needed for the im- provement of the water front, we are informed migsioners that after making the reduction mentioned of say $2500 per month In expendi- tures they estimate that about $115,000 per year will be avallable for mew structures after pay- ing all expenses and keeping the wharves al- ready bullt in repair. According to estimates meade this would build two wharves of the best character complete, such as plers 7 and 1. | When such structures as those are built the large expense needed at present in repairs would be reduced to a minimum, and conse- quently a considerably increased sum made avallable for new work. As it Is evident that even this saving will not be sufficient to carry on the work of making new structures as fast as we think desirable we suggest as a means of furnishing the necessary funds for this pur- Pose that the Legislature of the State at' the hext session be requested to vrovide for the fssue nf bonds of §1,000,000, the money fo ba used In extending the seawall southerly apd bullding new wharves. We would also suggest to your honorable body the advisability of tak- ing steps to change the present custom of draw- ing charter parties in which 100 tons is made the minimum of freight to be discharged per weather working day, and that it be made 200 tons, this being necessitated by the greatly in- creased size of modern vessels, the majority of deep-water shivs coming here belng of 2000 registered tonnage or over, with a dead weight capacity of from 80 to 4000 tons or more. \ WASTER O MUSIC SOUGHT T0 LEAD THEM Colored People Want an Academy.
