HERE ARE THE PLANS OF PORT COMMISSION (The plans for the public improvement of the water front by the acquisition of sites and the building of docks by the port commission is of vital importance to every citizen. Star readers are advised to study the proposed plans carefully, with the idea in mind of helping to make the proper decision when the time comes.—Editor of The Star.) Immediately following the public hearing to be held by the port of he instant, for consideration of the “com- prehensive sche in advance of any actual expenditure on Improvement work, the com- mission will submit to the people, In the form of @ bulletin, a com- plete statement of Its work to date, its plans for immeditite development of this port, and its general policy in respect to the problema before it, so far as at present worked out. Following is an advance summary of the contents of this bulletin, prepared for The ir by the port com minsion: The general purpose of the port district Is unified development of the port of Seattle by single authority, in accordance with a fixed plan, and also the ultimate acquisition and control by the port district ot the harbor frontage, such acquisition to proceed only so fast ax will not unduly burden taxpayers nor work Injustice to existing enterprises. The immediate and most pressing work of the district fs to make adequate preparation for the increase of commerce which will follow the opening of the Panama canal, greatly exaggerated, but this much ot least neems clear: largely by water after trade conditians are adjusted to new routes. Foreign importa from Europe andAhe east coast of South America legisiation and on canal tolls. ransshipment buctness in Orlonial cargoes, such as silk, cotton, not likely to undergo much change at first, Immigration certain to experience marked increase—posalbly 10,000 & year at the start. General will att) further Increase imports. Aggregate change in import trafGe may be very marked at first, fe Hat be greatly overdone, and pill probably result in temporary | recoll. he normal, healthy growth! resulting from the canal will be) gradual, and i# not likely to be so great at the start as ix generally | supposed, but it should enjoy a sgyatdntial annual increase. Export trade in grains cannot increased at firet from local prod net, as the surplos is now all export Increase of export may como (1) by drawing from sister porta:through provision of superior facili ties for shipping; (2) by drawing from further in the interior, though | the extent of this resource ie wholly problematical; and (3) by increase | of production, which will come only gradually with the devefbpment of | the country, Export of fruit will ufdoubtedly undergo great increase, for the more bardy froite from east of the Caseades will come to the coast to be shipped to the Atlantic coast and Europe, instead of going by rail, aq at present Fish exports will not undergo any tncrease which will cut a mate- rial figure in the total. Lumber export is certain to undergo immediate and radical in- se. Freight rat east will drop to $8 or $6, which will put our lumber into all the mark of the country. Same is true of Europe and East South America. Production can be quadrupled immediately by simply putting milis at work. Lumber will be the great product for “balancing” cargoes, by providing return cargoes to vessels calling here. The port commission regards it of firet importance to provide ample facilities for handling this export product. As to the aggregate effect on local commerce, the commission ax sames that it will be not leas than 200,000 tons at the start (both import and export) and that this million tons in the first five years after the canal is in full operation, ov, say, by the year 1920.- The smaller of these figures is made the basis for proposed provision of deep-sea docks. In addition to estimate of actual increase of commerce, it is neces abreast of our sister ports. Ports that provide the best ikely to get the trade, and trade, qnce established. in stays there out of choice. It ix necessary, therefore, to keep up with and ahead of competing ports. This applies especial. y to North Pacific coast ports. For additional facilities for deep-sea commerce, the commission considers it necessary to provide berthing space for at least four of the larger class of ocean going freighters, which means quay space of 2,500 to 3,000 feet in length. Sites chosen are on the East waterway and at Smith's Cove—the firat convenient to the whol: district, the second adapted to trans. ete, sary to k shipment bu: ind industrial development. A large and well-equip- ed Sumber yard will be provided at the latter point. ition to these two sites for docks for larger ocean vessels, 2 smalier dock will be provided on Salmon bay and another on the ower Duwamish waterway, each capable of accommodating two medi- am-sized ocean steamers. These docks wil| be completed in time for pening of these waterways. The commission will recommend a site on the central water front for the use of local mosquito boat traffic. Piers 3, 4 and 5, or one of them, will be adopted, if the property can be had at a reasonable price; otherwise a location between Lenora and Wall streets. ‘The commission will also recommend a motor boat harbor at the foot of Harrison st., In connection with the work which the city is to do it that point. This will embrace a sheltered harbor for little boats, a landing for larger boats, such as ply to the surrounding villages, two cridirons ond landings for independent fishing veanels. The commission will further recommend the ini setween Leschi park and Bellevue, Lake Washington, subject to the following conditions (1) That sites for landings are leeded to the commission free of charge, and (2) that the commission nay, in its discretion, defer installation of ferry until county has made idequate provision for a connecting highway as far east as Issaquah, to erve surrounding country. The ‘¢ommission regards better boat service for the east side as important both to the city and country, by Jeveloping the latter and bringing its products into the city. The ferry 8 naturally a public utility and‘shodld be so managed by the public. t can be 86 managed as efficiehtly knd economically as by a private wency, and far more satisfactorily. As a public utility, deriving its | eturn In part from Indirect benefits, it is no sufficient argument wainst it that it may not be self-sustaining from revenues collected it stands on a similar basis in this reqpect to our public highway The commission has considefed several other important features of he development of this port, which it has not been able to carry to he point of definite action in time forthe election on March 6th, These wre the provision of a dock for ¢oalifig vessels, a dock for the storage of powder, the construction of a gea Wall along the water front, and the cquisition of a belt line of railroad for the service of the water front Phese last two subjects in particulat involve so many complications hat it has been impossible to deal with them intelligently in the time 1 the commission's disposal. They will all be taken up later. In its relation to private enterptise, the commission's Position of idvanta not be used to inju y legitimate private interests, out it wit be used to correct abuses and to meet competition on the art of neighboring ports. WHILE THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF ITS. WORK MAY BE COMPLETE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF OUR WA- FER FRONTAGE, that end will be reached very gradually, and, so far 18 it Ie within the commission’s power, with exact justice to all inter. ts concerned. Any measures of a destructi confiseatory nature tre absblutely foreign to the purpose of the mmission. In ard to the character of construction work, the’ commission vill steer a middle course between the extremely elaborate and cobtly work of European ports and. the extremely perishable character of ome of the work in our port. The great cost of permanent masonry ‘onstruction makes It practically prohibitory with us at the present ime.
