California Harbor Funds Tie Up With San Pedro Willington Split
National river and harbor committee endorses a 96000 appropriation to remove Hingdon rock at Bun Hrancigvs and 9000 for Redwood creek improvements. San Pedro harbor effort seeks 200000 for Laxer harbor at Willington but full amount unlikely as Southern California funds may be shared with San Diego. Needham Jay presses San Diego gains, while Burton clashes with him over river and harbor bill. The Treasury estimate totals 298000, subject to reallocations if Dudro interests prevail. Kelis, recovering from rheumatism, secured from Taylor a shift to granite for Say Franciero’s coastal works, reducing demand for concrete. Kahn lobbies for California slate use at Fort Baker and Presidio bids, with separate bidding and state-sourced material allowed.
