LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL 


October  31,  1928. 

To  His  Excellency, 

Hon.  C.  C.  Young, 

Governor  of  the  State  of  California. 
Dear  Sir  :  In  accordance  with  Section  No.  2537  of  the  Political  Code 
of  the  State  of  California,  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners 
submits  herewith  its  report  for  the  biennium  commencing  July  1,  1926, 
and  ending  June  30,  1928,  the  seventy-eighth  and  seventy-ninth  fiscal 
years. 

Respectfully, 

BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS, 

C.  L.  TiLDEN,  President. 
Frank  C.  Sykes. 
Paul  Scharrenberg. 


REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 

The  present  members  of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners 
took  office  on  February  15,  1927,  and,  therefore,  have  served  in  such 
capacity  less  than  one  year  and  five  months  of  the  biennium  covered  by 
this  report. 

The  business  of  the  Port  of  San  Francisco  for  the  two  fiscal  years 
from  July  1,  1926,  to  June  30,  1928,  has  increased  materially  over  that 
of  the  previous  biennium. 

Cargo  passing  over  the  piers  during  the  last  biennium  amounted  to 
21,985,937  tons,  an  increase  of  1,234,525  tons,  or  5.9  per  cent  over  the 
preceding  two  years. 

The  State  Belt  Railroad  handled  265,862  loaded  cars,  an  increase  of 
23,933,  or  9.8  per  cent  over  the  preceding  two  years. 

To  supply  additional  facilities  for  handling  this  increased  business, 
a  capital  expenditure  of  $2,416,245.88  was  made  during  the  biennium 
for  property  and  equipment.  This  is  $230,545.98  in  excess  of  expendi- 
tures for  similar  purposes  for  the  previous  two  years. 

Cargo  area  available  on  June  30,  1928,  amounted  to  7,369,015  square 
feet,  equivalent  to  169  acres,  an  increase  of  10  acres,  or  6.2  per  cent 
over  June  30,  1926. 

Operating  revenue  amounted  to  $5,965,008.65.  This  is  an  increase  of 
$373,011.67,  or  6.6  per  cent  over  the  previous  biennium. 

Operating  revenue  for  the  first  year  of  the  biennium  amounted  to 
$2,952,492.05,  and  for  the  second  year  $3,012,516.60,  an  increase  of 
$60,024.55.  This  is  principally  the  result  of  the  rearrangement  of 
assignments,  the  equalization  and  adjustment  of  rentals  and  the  like. 

Notwithstanding  the  increased  business  and  revenue,  and  the  addi- 
tional facilities  operated,  the  operating  expense  for  the  biennium, 
$2,872,869.18,  was  $2,296.27  less  than  for  the  preceding  two  years. 

The  operating  expense  for  the  first  year  of  the  biennium  was 
$1,472,299.13  and  for  the  last  year  (the  first  complete  fiscal  period  over 
which  the  present  board  had  control)  $1,400,570.05,  a  reduction  of 
$71,729.08.  This  decrease  in  operating  expenses  was  brought  about 
by  numerous  economies  in  various  departments,  without  the  loss  of 
efficiency,  or  the  curtailment  of  service,  and  by  the  strict  regulation  of 
the  purchase  of  materials  and  supplies,  and  in  the  face  of  the  fact  that 
the  board  was  compelled  to  absorb  large  wage  increases  awarded  to 
practically  all  our  employees. 

Wage  increases  awarded  by  the  San  Francisco  Impartial  Wage  Board 
to  mechanics  and  other  employees  added  $1,503.95  per  month  to  the 
harbor  pay  roll,  commencing  March  1,  1927. 

Wage  increases  granted  to  railroad  employees  by  the  Federal  Wage 
Board  necessitated  the  addition  of  $1,233.97  per  month  to  the  State 
Belt  Railroad  pay  roll  commencing  May  1,  1928. 

It,  therefore,  results  that  our  pay  roll  has  been  increased  by  reason 
of  said  raises  nearly  $3,000  per  month,  or  approximately  $35,000  per 
annum. 

Furthermore,  expenditures  for  maintenance  of  State  Belt  Railroad 
buildings,  roadway  and  equipment  for  the  last  year  of  the  biennium 


REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS  9 

exceeded  by  $21,337.27  expenditures  for  this  purpose  during  the  first 
year.  This  additional  expense  was  made  necessary  because  of  the  run- 
down condition  of  the  road. 

Briefly  reviewing  the  above  facts,  it  will  be  seen  that  by  reducing 
expenses  and  increasing  revenues  as  above  set  forth,  during  the  last 
fiscal  year,  an  increased  net  of  $131,753.63  has  been  produced  as  com- 
pared with  the  next  preceding  year,  and  other  miscellaneous  savings 
bring  this  net  amount  up  to  $142,099.49. 

This  board  has  completed  or  is  carrying  on  various  projects  under 
way  when  it  took  over  the  management  of  the  harbor,  and  has  initiated 
many  major  improvements  now  in  various  stages  of  completion.  Among 
the  most  important  of  these  are : 

The  completion  of  Pier  45. 

The  construction  of  Pier  48. 

Extensive  extensions  to  Piers  30  and  32. 

Two  cargo  sheds  and  paving  at  Pier  50. 

Connecting  wharf  between  Piers  26  and  28. 

Bulkhead  wharf  building  for  Piers  23  and  25. 

Extension  of  grain  terminal,  Islais  Creek. 

Dredging  Islais  Creek  channel  and  reclaiming  approximately  26 

acres  of  tidelands. 
Ferry  terminal,  foot  of  Hyde  street. 
Ferry  slip  "A." 

Additional  offices  in  the  Ferry  Building. 

Paving  Berry  street  from  Embarcadero  to  Third  street. 

Paving  Embarcadero,  Bay  street  to  Powell  street. 

Construction  of  a  new  clamshell  dredge. 

Construction  of  two  new  mud  scows. 

Purchase  of  a  new  freight  locomotive. 
The  present  commerce  of  the  port  is  being  handled  expeditiously, 
but  new  ships  are  being  constantly  added  to  the  fleet  now  plying  in 
and  out  of  the  harbor.  Vessels  of  greater  cargo  capacity  are  being 
assigned  to  the  trade,  and  additional  steamship  companies  are  entering 
the  field. 

In  an  endeavor  to  meet  the  insistent  demands  for  additional  accom- 
modations the  board  is  proceeding  with  the  construction  of  Pier  45, 
which  will  be  completed  early  in  1929,  and  of  Pier  48,  which  will  be 
available  later  in  the  same  year,  and  has  planned  other  major  improve- 
ments which  will  soon  be  under  way,  and  which  are  imperatively  neces- 
sary to  take  care  of  the  rapidly  growing  business  of  this  port. 

The  most  important  of  these  new  improvements  are : 

A  new  pier  estimated  to  cost  $500,000,  construction  of  which  will  be 
started  shortly  after  January  1,  1929. 

Two  new  modern  piers  at  a  cost  of  approximately  $1,000,000  eacli, 
plans  for  which  are  now  being  prepared. 

The  board  also  contemplates  the  extension,  sometime  in  the  future, 
of  the  State  Belt  Railroad  to  the  southern  end  of  the  waterfront,  which 
project  includes  the  widening  of  Illinois  street,  and  the  construction 
of  a  bridge  across  Channel  street,  jointly  by  the  State  of  California 
and  the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco  and  various  railroads.

10  REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 


Other  contemplated  improvements  include  : 

Wharf  and  tracks,  Islais  Creek.   Estimated  cost  $300,000 

Raising  wharf  and  Embarcadero,  between  Mission  and 

Harrison  streets.    Estimated  cost   235,000 

Storehouse  and  shops.    Estimated  cost   200,000 

Retaining  wall  and  wharf,  Central  Basin.   Estimated  cost  175,000 

Additional  Belt  Railroad  tracks.    Estimated  cost   153,000 

Lumber  terminal.    Estimated  cost   60,000 


In  cooperation  with  the  State  Department  of  Finance,  a  new  account- 
ing system  for  the  harbor  has  been  devised  and  will  shortly  be  installed. 
This  new  system,  badly  needed  to  replace  the  present  inadequate  and 
very  ancient  methods  of  recording  the  transactions  of  the  port,  is 
the  result  of  more  than  a  year  of  continuous  study  and  many  months 
of  careful  preparation.  It  provides  for  the  extensive  use  of  tabulating 
and  bookkeeping  machines,  by  which  method  very  complete  and  com- 
prehensive accounting  and  statistical  records  will  be  maintained  at 
little,  if  any,  additional  cost. 

Appended  hereto  are  reports  covering  in  detail  the  financial  trans- 
actions of  the  board,  the  operations  of  the  various  departments  and 
statistical  data  for  the  biennium,  together  with  general  information  in 
regard  to  the  port. 

THE  PORT  OF  SAN  FRANCISCO 

Since  1863  the  Port  of  San  Francisco  has  been  owned  and  operated 
by  the  State  of  California,  under  the  management  of  the  Board  of  State 
Harbor  Commissioners,  consisting  of  three  members,  who  are  appointed 
by  the  Governor. 

During  this  period  of  65  years  the  port  has  been  absolutely  self- 
supporting.  It  has  met  all  the  expenses  of  operation  and  maintenance 
and  all  bond  interest  and  sinking  fund  charges,  out  of  earnings,  and 
except  for  bonds  to  the  extent  of  $15,103,000,  outstanding  as  of  June 
30,  1928,  has  also  paid  out  of  earnings  the  cost  of  developing  the 
harbor  and  constructing  the  facilities,  the  minimum  value  of  which  is 
estimated  at  $75,000,000. 

Although  self-supporting,  this  harbor  is  operated  on  a  nonprofit 
basis,  and  the  port  charges  are  therefore  exceedingly  low,  being  fixed 
at  the  minimum  required  to  produce  only  sufficient  funds  to  cover 
expenses  and  development  costs. 

San  Francisco  is  the  only  port  in  the  United  States  where  all  the 
activities,  including  the  State  Belt  Railroad,  are  coordinated  and  con- 
trolled by  a  single  authority. 

SAN  FRANCISCO  BAY 

San  Francisco  Bay  is  a  land-locked  harbor,  situated  on  the  west  coast 
of  the  United  States,  almost  midway  between  the  Canadian  and  Mexican 
borders.  The  bay  proper,  with  100  miles  of  shore  line,  is  48  miles  long. 
Its  greatest  width  is  13  miles;  its  area  is  450  square  miles,  79  square 
miles  of  which  olfer  safe  anchorage. 

Entrance  to  the  harbor  is  through  the  famous  ''Golden  Gate,"  a 
narrow  passage  approximately  one  mile  wide  and  three  miles  long.  The 
channel  is  of  sufficient  depUi  to  permit  the  largest  vessels  afloat  to  enter 
the  harbor  at  any  time. 


12  REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 

Two  large  navigable  rivers,  the  Sacramento  and  the  San  Joaquin, 
flow  into  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco  from  the  great  interior  valleys  of  the 
same  names.  These  two  valleys  comprise  a  vast  inland  empire  of  over 
thirty  million  acres,  from  which  a  steadily  increasing  stream  of  prod- 
ucts flows  into  the  harbor  for  shipment  to  all  parts  of  the  world. 

Steamship  companies  operating  regularly  at  the  Port  of  San  Fran- 
cisco number  146,  and  during  the  last  year  7555  vessels,  with  a  total  of 
18,110,440  net  registered  tons  entered  the  Golden  Gate. 

San  Francisco  is  second  among  American  ports  in  the  total  value  of 
water-borne  commerce,  and  enjoys  a  highly  diversified  and  well- 
balanced  trade. 

PORT  FACILITIES 

The  San  Francisco  water  front  extends  from  the  Presidio  on  the 
north  to  the  San  Francisco-San  Mateo  County  line  on  the  south,  a  dis- 
tance of  approximately  10  miles.  The  Embarcadero,  a  200-foot  thor- 
oughfare, owned  and  maintained  by  the  state,  runs  along  the  water 
front  between  the  piers  and  the  wholesale  district  of  the  city.  The 
northern  half  of  the  water  front  is  developed  to  its  full  capacity,  with 
an  unbroken  line  of  piers  and  slips.  Five  miles  of  water  front  and  430 
acres  of  water-front  land,  owned  and  controlled  by  the  state,  are  avail- 
able for  additional  piers,  wharves,  channels  and  industries. 

There  are  46  piers  and  terminals,  15  passenger  ferry  slips  and  six 
car  ferry  slips  in  service  on  the  water  front,  and,  in  addition,  many 
small  wharves  and  extensive  bulkhead  wharves  connecting  all  the  piers. 
Of  the  46  piers  and  terminals  20  are  of  concrete  construction  and  26 
of  timber  construction.  The  piers  range  in  length  from  600  feet  to 
1300  feet,  and  in  width  from  100  feet  to  386  feet.  The  slips  between 
the  piers  range  in  width  from  150  to  350  feet.  These  facilities  provide 
over  17  miles  of  berthing  space  and  169  acres  of  cargo  area. 

PIERS  IN  COURSE  OF  CONSTRUCTION 

Two  new  modern  concrete  piers  are  now  in  course  of  construction. 
Pier  45,  which  will  be  completed  early  in  1929,  will  be  over  1300  feet 
long  and  382  feet  wide,  and  will  cost  approximately  $2,000,000.  This 
will  be  the  largest  pier  on  the  w^ater  front,  and  will  accommodate  at  one 
time  four  of  the  largest  vessels  regularly  visiting  the  harbor.  The  core 
of  the  pier  is  a  solid  fill,  extending  into  the  bay  1000  feet.  The  pier 
beyond  the  fill  and  the  apron  wharves  along  the  sides  will  require  120,- 
000  lineal  feet,  equal  to  approximately  23  miles  of  reinforced  concrete 
piles. 

Over  2|  miles  of  State  Belt  Railroad  tracks  will  serve  the  four  transit 
sheds  and  the  car  ferry  slip  at  the  outer  end  of  the  pier. 

Pier  48  will  be  of  reinforced  concrete  construction,  623  feet  long  and 
369  feet  wide,  and  the  bulkhead  wharf  will  be  55  by  500  feet.  There 
will  be  two  belt  railroad  tracks  along  each  side  of  the  pier,  and  three 
tracks  and  two  driveways  in  the  center.  The  central  section  will  be 
depressed  so  that  the  floors  of  the  cars  will  be  level  with  the  deck  of  the 
^  pier  in  order  to  facilitate  loading  and  unloading.  This  pier  will  cost 
in  excess  of  $1,000,000  and  eventually  will  be  extended  an  additional 
600  feet. 


REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS  13 

SPECIAL  FACILITIES 

The  Ferry  Building  and  Union  Depot  is  situated  at  the  foot  of 
Market  street,  San  Francisco's  main  thoroughfare,  and  is  practically 
in  the  center  of  the  water  front,  as  at  present  developed.  This  famous 
building,  familiar  to  every  visitor  to  the  city,  was  opened  to  the  public 
in  1898.  It  is  661  feet  long,  150  feet  wide,  and  the  clock  tower  extends 
to  a  height  of  235  feet.  The  cost  of  the  building  and  appurtenances 
was  over  $2,300,000. 

Equipped  with  ten  ferry  slips,  it  is  the  landing  place  of  the  ferry 
boats  from  Oakland,  Alameda,  Berkeley,  Richmond,  Vallejo,  Sausalito 
and  Belvedere.  In  addition  to  handling  local  traffic,  these  boats  con- 
nect with  the  east  bay  transcontinental  lines  of  the  Southern  Pacific, 
Atchison,  Topeka  and  Santa  Fe  and  "Western  Pacific  railroads,  and  at 
Vallejo  with  the  San  Francisco,  Napa  and  Calistoga  Railroad,  and  at 
Sausalito  with  the  Northwestern  Pacific  Railroad.  Over  51,000,000 
people  pass  through  the  Ferry  Building  during  the  course  of  a  year. 

Three  levels  are  necessary  in  front  of  the  Ferry  Building  to  handle 
the  traffic.  A  viaduct  for  pedestrians  extends  from  the  second  floor 
of  the  building  over  the  200-foot  Embarcadero  to  the  foot  of  Market 
street.  The  street  surface  is  given  over  principally  to  pedestrians, 
street  cars,  taxi  cabs  and  other  passenger  vehicles.  The  street  cars 
which  reach  the  Ferry  Building,  via  Market  street,  from  every  point 
in  the  city  turn  on  either  one  of  three  loops  in  front  of  the  building 
for  the  return  journey.  In  addition,  several  street  car  lines  reach  the 
building  via  the  Embarcadero  from  the  north  and  south.  Approximately 
8500  street  cars  arrive  at  and  depart  from  the  Ferry  Building  every 
Aveek  day.  A  subway  for  vehicular  traffic  runs  under  the  Embarcadero 
and  the  street  car  loops  for  a  distance  of  over  1000  feet.  Over  4,000,000 
vehicles  passed  through  this  subway  during  the  last  year. 

The  State  Belt  Railroad  is  the  connecting  link  between  the  piers. 
Three  transcontinental  trunk  lines,  one  local  line  and  numerous  indus- 
tries adjacent  to  the  Embarcadero.  The  first  unit  of  the  State  Belt 
Railroad  was  built  in  1890.  This  has  been  added  to  from  time  to  time, 
until  it  now  extends  practically  the  entire  length  of  the  developed 
water  front,  and  comprises  58  miles  of  main  line,  pier  tracks  and  indus- 
trial spurs.  The  mechanical  equipment  consists  of  seven  75-ton  and 
one  60-ton  modern  smtching  locomotives,  and  one  15-ton  locomotive 
crane. 

Islais  Creek  Grain  Terminal  is  equipped  with  modern  cleaning  and 
grading  machinery,  and  is  used  exclusively  for  the  handling  of  grain 
for  export.  San  Francisco  is  in  the  center  of  a  large  grain-producing 
district,  and  the  rapidly  increasing  trade  in  this  commodity  has  made 
it  necessary  to  add  an  extensive  addition  to  the  terminal  which  will 
increase  the  capacity  by  75  per  cent.  The  addition,  which  is  well  on 
the  way  to  completion,  consists  of  a  wharf  540  feet  long  and  105  feet 
wide,  and  a  shed  495  feet  long  and  220  feet  wide,  covering  a  portion 
of  the  wharf  and  extending  over  a  solid  fill  on  the  land  side.  This  will 
increase  the  length  of  the  terminal  to  over  1250  feet. 

The  State  Products  Terminal  at  China  Basin  is  a  reinforced  concrete 
structure,  812  feet  in  length.  The  building  is  134  feet  wide  and  two 
stories  high.  This  terminal  is  assigned  for  the  handling  of  canned  and 
dried  fruits  and  other  farm  products,  and  to  facilitate  this  handling 


REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS  15 

the  second  floor  is  set  back  to  provide  an  elevated  loading  platform  along 
its  entire  length.  On  the  land  side  an  elevated  driveway  is  provided 
at  the  second-floor  level  for  cargo  arriving  and  departing  by  truck. 

A  new  modern  fumigating  plant,  privately  operated,  has  recently 
been  constructed  adjacent  to  the  State  Products  Terminal  for  the  fumi- 
gation of  cotton  and  other  commodities  as  required  by  the  United 
States  government. 

Pier  38  is  equipped  with  pipe  lines  connecting  with  a  battery  of 
privately  operated  tanks  for  the  storage  of  Oriental  vegetable  oils, 
molasses,  etc.  Large  quantities  of  these  products  arriving  at  this  port 
are  pumped  directly  from  ship  to  tanks. 

A  banana  terminal  similar  to  those  in  New  Orleans  and  Mobile,  and 
unique  on  this  coast,  has  recently  been  established.  Banana  boats, 
arriving  weekly,  discharge  approximately  700  tons  of  bananas  each  trip. 

Fishermen's  lagoon,  a  sheltered  cove  with  adequate  wharf  space,  is 
the  home  of  a  great  fleet  of  approximately  250  fishing  boats,  and 
presents  a  picturesque  and  interesting  sight.  The  waters  outside  the 
Golden  Gate  abound  in  an  unlimited  variety  of  fish  and  provide  a  large 
and  profitable  industry. 

FLOATING  EQUIPMENT 

Two  modern  fire  boats,  maintained  jointly  by  the  city  and  county  of 
San  Francisco  and  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners,  are  in 
constant  ser\dce  on  the  water  front  for  the  protection  of  state  and 
adjacent  city  property.  These  boats  are  operated  under  the  supervision 
of  the  San  Francisco  Fire  Department,  and  are  manned  by  regular 
members  of  the  force.  Two  of  the  Harbor  Commission's  tugs  are  also 
adequately  equipped  for  fire  fighting. 

The  board  recently  awarded  contracts  for  the  construction  of  a  new 
steel  clamshell  dredge  and  two  mud  scows.  At  the  present  time  only 
one  dredge  and  two  scows  are  in  operation. 

In  addition  to  the  above  the  board  also  operates  six  pile  drivers,  one 
oil  barge,  one  launch  and  ten  landing  floats. 

HISTORY 

San  Francisco  Bay  was  discovered  in  1775  by  a  party  of  Portola's 
men  from  the  land  side.  Portola  was  at  Monterey,  the  first  capital  of 
California,  situated  on  the  coast  approximately  100  miles  south  of  San 
Francisco.  A  few  days  later  the  Spanish  schooner  Saii  Carlos  sailed 
north  and  found  the  entrance  to  the  great  land-locked  harbor.  This 
was  the  first  vessel  to  pass  through  the  "Golden  Gate"  and  anchor  in 
the  bay. 

Seventy  years  later  little  change  had  taken  place  in  the  harbor,  and  a 
rocky  point  extending  into  the  bay  at  what  is  now  the  corner  of 
Broadway  and  Battery  streets  was  the  customary  landing  place. 

The  first  wharf  was  built  in  1849,  the  year  of  the  famous  gold  rush 
that  brought  thousands  of  pioneers  to  California  in  search  of  the 
precious  metal.  Hundreds  of  vessels  were  anchored  in  the  bay,  most 
of  them  having  been  deserted  by  their  crews,  who  were  lured  to  the 
foothills  of  the  Sierra  Nevada  mountains  by  the  promise  of  untold 
riches. 


16  REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 

Many  of  the  ships  were  beached  and  fitted  up  as  stores,  restaurants, 
banks  and  other  places  of  business.  In  fact,  a  great  part  of  the  busi- 
ness of  the  thriving  settlement  was  transacted  on  these  vessels,  or  on 
the  wharves  which  were  built  out  over  the  shallow  water  of  the  cove. 

During  the  next  few  years  much  of  the  water  front  property  was 
acquired  by  private  parties,  through  lease  or  purchase,  and  many 
wharves  were  erected  by  the  owners  to  accommodate  the  increasing 
trade. 

At  that  time  the  water  extended  inland  several  blocks  beyond  what 
is  now  the  water  front  line. 

The  harbor  of  San  Francisco  is  the  outlet  for  the  products  of  approxi- 
mately 70  per  cent  of  the  area  of  the  State  of  California,  and  cargo 
moving  to  and  from  this  vast  region  to  all  parts  of  the  world  makes  up 
a  considerable  part  of  the  commerce  of  this  port.  Realizing  the  broad 
interest  in  the  harbor,  the  state  legislature  in  1863  created  the  first 
Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners,  and  placed  the  port  under  state 
control,  where  it  has  since  remained.  However,  it  was  not  until  1871 
that  the  state  came  into  complete  control  of  the  water  front. 

The  following  extracts  are  from  Port  Series  No.  12,  a  report  prepared 
by  the  United  States  Board  of  Engineers  for  Rivers  and  Harbors,  in 
cooperation  with  the  United  States  Shipping  Board,  recently  issued 
by  the  War  Department : 

''San  Francisco  Bay  is  the  best  harbor  on  the  Pacific  coast  and 
one  of  the  finest  in  the  world. 

The  large  sheltered  deep  water  area  and  a  great  amount  of  shore 
line  offer  almost  unlimited  opportunities  for  terminal  and  indus- 
trial water  front  development. 

San  Francisco  is  the  only  port  in  the  United  States  where  the 
water  front  is  o^Nned  and  has  been  developed  by  the  state,  and 
where,  also,  the  public  terminal  developments  have  been  connected 
with  one  another  and  with  rail  carriers  by  a  belt  line,  owned  and 
operated  by  the  state. 

San  Francisco  is  a  shining  example  of  efficient  control  of 
terminal  and  interchange  facilities.  There  is  no  friction,  no  con- 
gestion, no  delays  at  this  port.  Traffic  moves  to  and  from  the 
piers  with  a  smoothness  and  facility  which  is  noticeably  absent  at 
some  other  ports  not  adequately  coordinated.  The  flat  switching 
charge  between  any  two  points  on  the  Belt  Line  serves  to  avoid  the 
overdevelopment  and  congestion  which  tends  to  occur  where  ports 
are  improperly  divided  into  zones  for  switching  purposes.  In  this 
respect  San  Francisco  is  an  example  of  efficiency  which  many 
ports  would  do  well  to  emulate. ' '

REPORT  OP  CHIEF  ENGINEER 

To  the  Board  of  State  Harhor  Commissioners, 
San  Francisco,  California. 

Gentlemen:  I  beg  to  submit  for  your  consideration  my  report  as 
Chief  Engineer  of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners  for  the 
two  fiscal  years  beginning  July  1,  1926,  and  ending  June  30,  1928. 

At  the  time  of  the  presentation  of  the  last  biennial  report  on  July  1, 
1926,  there  were  under  construction  the  following  structures: 

Two  transit  sheds  on  Pier  50,  which  were  36  per  cent  completed. 

Pavement  on  Berry  street,  Embarcadero  to  Third  street,  which  was 
80  per  cent  completed. 

The  transit  sheds  on  Pier  50  were  completed  on  April  22,  1927,  and 
the  pier  has  been  actively  in  service  since  that  time. 

The  pavement  on  Berry  street  was  completed  on  August  5,  1926,  and 
its  value  as  a  connection  between  the  Embarcadero  and  the  southerly 
industrial  section  of  San  Francisco  is  indicated  by  the  traffic  which  it 
is  now  carrying. 

For  the  purposes  of  this  report,  in  which  the  principal  activities  of 
the  Engineering  Department  during  these  two  fiscal  years  will  be  con- 
sidered, the  work  of  the  department  will  be  divided  as  follows : 

1.  Piers,  Wharves  and  Buildings. 

2.  Paving. 

3.  Maintenance  and  Repairs. 

4.  Dredging. 

5.  Electrical. 

6.  Testing. 

7.  Designing  and  Drafting. 

8.  Recommendations. 

1.    PIERS,  WHARVES  AND  BUILDINGS 

Pier  45. 

Reference  was  made  in  the  last  biennial  report  to  tlie  ])reparation  of 
plans  for  Pier  45.  These  plans  were  completed  and  approved  by  the 
board  on  August  26,  1926.  Three  complete  sets  of  plans  were  prepared, 
one  for  an  open  pile  structure  and  the  other  two  for  a  solid  fill  struc- 
ture, the  difference  being  in  the  type  of  bulkhead  retaining  wall  for 
enclosing  the  filled  section.  Bids  were  received  on  September  23,  but 
were  rejected  as  unsatisfactory  and  the  work  was  readvertised.  On 
October  13  bids  were  again  received  and  the  contract  was  awarded  for 
construction  of  a  structure  with  a  filled  core  enclosed  by  loose  rock 
retaining  walls. 

The  pier  as  designed  is  382  feet  in  width,  1200  feet  in  length  on  the 
westerly  side  and  1313  feet  in  length  on  the  easterly  side.  It  extends 
into  the  bay  between  Taylor  and  Jones  streets  and  the  length  is  secured 
by  projecting  the  axis  at  an  angle  of  37°  30'  with  the  water  front  line. 
In  the  center  of  the  structure  is  a  depressed  section  75  feet  in  width  in 
which  are  located  four  railroad  tracks  and  two  driveways.  Two  tracks 
will  serve  the  transit  sheds  on  either  side,  and  the  other  two  will  lead 
to  the  car  ferry  slip  which  is  to  be  constructed  in  the  center  of  the 


REPORT  OP  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS  39 


outer  end  of  the  pier.  In  addition  two  tracks  are  provided  on  each  side 
of  the  pier  for  direct  cargo  movement  between  ship  and  car.  There 
will  be  four  transit  sheds,  the  outer  pair  being  accessible  to  trucks  from 
the  depressed  driveways  by  means  of  ramps. 

The  filled  core  of  the  pier  is  210  feet  in  width  at  the  top  and  the  rock 
wall  slopes  extend  to  the  sides  of  the  pier,  provision  being  made  to  per- 
mit of  dredging  of  slips  to  a  depth  of  35  feet.  For  a  width  of  56  feet 
the  deck  over  the  rock  slope  is  of  reinforced  concrete  on  concrete  piles, 
this  construction  extending  to  the  outside  of  the  transit  shed.  The  two 
shipside  tracks  on  either  side  are  carried  on  a  creosoted  pile  and  timber 
apron  30  feet  in  width.  The  core  fill  was  made  by  depositing  sand 
excavated  by  a  suction  dredge  from  the  slips  alongside. 

The  four  transit  sheds  are  to  be  of  steel  frame  construction  with  con- 
crete walls,  galvanized  steel  sash  and  steel  rolling  doors.  The  shed 
fronts  will  be  of  reinforced  concrete  case  in  place  and  the  remainder  of 
the  walls  will  be  constructed  of  precast  reinforced  concrete  slabs. 

The  substructure  was  81  per  cent  completed  on  June  30,  1928. 

Piers  30  and  32  Extensions. 

In  order  to  furnish  additional  accommodations  for  the  increasing 
business  of  the  Matson  Navigation  Company,  Piers  30  and  32  were 
extended  to  the  pierhead  line,  a  distance  of  125  feet.  The  substructures 
are  of  reinforced  concrete  pile  and  deck  construction,  and  the  sheds  are 
of  timber  with  steel  rolling  doors.  On  account  of  the  depth  and  the 
nature  of  the  foundation  material  it  was  necessary  to  deposit  66,000 
cubic  yards  of  second-class  rock  to  provide  holding  ground  for  the 
concrete  piles.  The  dumping  of  rock  was  completed  on  March  4,  1927, 
the  substructure  on  February  20,  1928,  and  the  superstructure  on  April 
4,  1928. 

Pier  48. 

When  completed  as  projected,  Pier  48,  located  south  of  Channel 
street  and  adjacent  to  Pier  50,  will  be  more  than  1200  feet  in  length, 
providing  two  berths  on  each  side.  The  width,  369  feet,  will  also  permit 
of  docking  a  smaller  vessel  across  the  end.  An  investigation  of  the 
foundation,  however,  revealed  a  submerged  valley  partially  filled  with 
extremely  soft  material,  crossing  the  site  of  the  pier  about  800  feet 
from  shore.  In  order  to  construct  across  this  valley  it  will  be  necessary 
to  deposit  a  large  quantity  of  stable  material  into  which  to  drive  the 
foundation  piles.  This  was  not  considered  desirable  at  this  time,  and 
it  was  decided  to  first  construct  the  pier  of  approximately  one-half  the 
ultimate  length.  In  fact,  to  render  this  possible  it  was  necessary  to 
deposit  76,000  cubic  yards  of  second-class  rock  and  permit  it  to  settle 
before  beginning  construction. 

Pier  48  as  now  being  constructed  is  369  feet  in  width  and  623  feet  in 
length.  The  construction  is  of  reinforced  concrete  except  for  the 
aprons  carrying  the  two  flush  shipside  tracks  on  each  side,  which  are 
of  creosoted  pile  and  timber  construction.  In  conjunction  with  the 
pier  a  section  of  concrete  bulkhead  wharf  500  feet  in  length  and  55 
feet  in  width  is  being  constructed.   There  will  be  two  transit  sheds  and 


REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 


41 


between  the  sheds  there  will  be  located  three  depressed  railroad  tracks 
and  a  double  driveway. 

The  rock  fill  was  completed  on  October  13,  1926,  and  the  pier  was  7.3 
per  cent  completed  on  June  30,  1928. 

Hyde  Street  Auto  Ferry  Terminal. 

In  order  to  provide  accommodations  for  the  Berkeley  line  of  the 
Golden  Gate  Ferry  Company  a  terminal  consisting  of  two  ferry  slij)S 
and  a  parking  wharf  was  constructed  at  the  foot  of  Hyde  street 
between  the  Sausalito  ferry  terminal  and  the  westerly  entrance  to 
Fishermen's  Lagoon.  The  main  aprons,  which  are  of  structural  steel, 
are  of  sufficient  width  to  carry  two  lines  of  traffic  which  materially 
expedites  the  loading  and  discharging  of  ferry  boats.  The  slips  are 
operated  by  electric  motor,  each  slip  being  controlled  by  push  button 
switches  located  in  a  central  control  station. 

The  Hyde  Street  Ferry  Terminal  was  completed  on  August  31,  1927. 

Slip  A  Ferry  Terminal. 

In  order  to  provide  a  ferry  slip  and  terminal  for  the  Monticello 
Steamship  Company,  old  Slip  A  north  of  the,  Ferry  Building,  which 
had  been  out  of  service  for  a  number  of  years,  was  removed  and  recon- 
structed in  a  new  location.  The  adjacent  wharves  were  also  recon- 
structed and  enlarged  and  a  new  building  with  offices  and  waiting  room 
was  erected.  The  apron  is  the  same  type  as  those  installed  at  the 
Hyde  street  terminal,  but  it  is  operated  by  hydraulic  cylinders  in 
common  with  the  rest  of  the  slips  at  the  Ferry  Building. 

"  The  substructure  of  Slip  A  Ferry  Terminal  was  completed  on  Sep- 
tember 7,  1927,  and  the  building,  offices  and  Avaiting  room  on  Febru- 
ary 8,  1928. 

Bulkhead  Building,  Piers  23  and  25. 

Covered  bulkhead  wharf  space  is  continually  being  used  to  greater 
advantage,  and  in  order  to  provide  additional  space  of  this  sort  a  bulk- 
head building  was  constructed  extending  from  the  north  side  of  Pier 
25  to  the  south  side  of  Pier  23.  The  length  is  402  feet,  and  in  order  to 
secure  a  width  of  72  feet  in  the  building  between  the  piers,  the  bulk- 
head wharf  was  widened  38  feet.  The  wharf  is  timber  construction  on 
creosoted  piles  and  the  building  is  timber  frame,  the  front  being  finished 
in  cement  plaster  on  metal  lath.  The  wharf  extension  was  completed 
on  December  23,  1926,  and  the  building  on  May  5,  1927. 

Grain  Terminal  Extension. 

The  tonnage  handled  through  the  Islais  Creek  Grain  Terminal  having 
increased  to  such  a  volume  that  additional  facilities  were  a  necessity, 
it  was  decided  to  construct  an  extension  at  the  east  end  of  the  existing 
terminal.  This  extension  consists  of  a  creosoted  pile  and  timber  wharf 
540  feet  in  length  and  105  feet  in  width,  a  timber  frame  and  corru- 
gated iron  building  495  feet  in  length  and  220  feet  in  width  resting 
partly  on  the  wharf  and  partly  on  the  adjacent  earth  fill,  and  a 
depressed  railroad  track  at  the  rear  of  the  building.  The  columns  in 
the  portion  of  the  building  which  are  not  carried  by  the  wharf  will  be 
supported  on  piles  and  the  floor  will  consist  of  bituminous  pavement 
laid  on  a  rolled  rock  base  directly  on  the  earth  fill.   The  extension  will 


42  REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 

increase  the  storage  capacity  of  the  grain  terminal  approximately  75 
per  cent.  The  substructure  was  77.2  per  cent  completed  on  June  30, 
1928.  On  the  same  date  the  contract  for  the  building  had  been  let,  but 
the  work  had  not  been  begun. 

Bulkhead  Wharf  and  Building,  Piers  26  and  28. 

Covered  bulkhead  wharf  space  is  being  provided  between  Piers  26 
and  28  by  the  construction  of  a  connecting  wharf  and  building  having 
a  length  between  the  piers  of  200  feet  and  extending  into  the  slip  a 
distance  of  137  feet.  It  is  the  intention  to  use  the  space  for  package 
freight  delivered  to  and  from  trucks,  and  for  this  reason  the  deck  on  the 
wharf  is  being  constructed  at  approximately  truck  height  above  the 
street  and  a  continuous  row  of  doors  is  to  be  provided  along  the  front 
of  the  shed.  The  elevated  platform  will  be  accessible  by  means  of 
ramps  leadings  to  Piers  26  and  28.  The  wharf  consists  of  a  timber 
deck  supported  on  concrete  jacketed  timber  piles.  The  shed  is  a  timber 
frame  structure  with  steel  rolling  doors.  The  work  was  17.4  per  cent 
completed  on  June  30,  1928. 

California  Development  Association  Offices. 

The  construction  of  quarters  for  housing  the  growing  staff  and 
increasing  activities  of  the  California  Development  Association  necessi- 
tated extensive  remodeling  of  a  portion  of  the  Ferry  Building.  The 
location  is  in  the  center  of  the  building  between  the  two  main  second 
floor  exits  and  above  the  rear  nave  along  the  east  side  of  the  building. 
In  order  to  construct  the  third  floor  above  the  rear  nave  it  was  neces- 
sary to  raise  the  roof  and  construct  a  new  steel  frame  extending  up 
from  the  building  foundations.  The  main  office  space  is  204  feet  in 
length  and  29  feet  in  width  and  the  central  wing,  which  is  two  stories 
in  height,  is  32  feet  by  50  feet.  An  open  observation  deck  is  provided 
on  the  roof  and  a  freight  elevator  was  installed  which  serves  not  only 
these  offices  but  the  entire  second  floor  of  the  building.  The  work  was 
completed  on  January  4,  1928. 

Pier  54,  Repairs. 

A  major  item  of  maintenance  was  the  repairs  to  the  reinforced  con- 
crete deck  beams  and  girders  in  Pier  54.  This  pier,  which  was  con- 
structed in  1910,  was  the  first  reinforced  concrete  structure  on  the 
water  front.  During  the  last  few  years  there  has  been  a  gradually 
accelerated  craeking  and  spalling  of  the  concrete  outside  the  reinforc- 
ing steel  along  the  bottom  and  lowei:  portion  of  the  sides  of  the  beams 
and  girders.  This  was  most  marked  in  the  outer  half  of  the  pier  and 
was  undoubtedly  due  primarily  to  an  insufficient  embedment  of  the 
steel,  to  pouring  the  concrete  too  wet,  which  rendered  it  porous  and  to 
a  certain  extent  to  a  design  in  which  small  beams  provided  an  unneces- 
sarily large  number  of  surfaces  where  cracking  and  corrosion  could 
begin. 

The  repairs  consist  in  removing  the  defective  concrete  with  air 
hammers,  cleaning  the  corroded  steel  with  a  sand  blast  and  covering 
with  a  heavy  coating  of  gunite  over  galvanized  wire  fabric.  After  the 
'  gunite  work  is  completed  the  entire  under  side  of  the  deck  is  to  be 
given  a  heavy  coat  of  asphalt.  The  repairs  to  Pier  54  were  54  per  cent 
completed  on  June  30,  1928.

2.  PAVING 

Embarcadero,  Bay  to  Powell  Street. 

The  first  asphalt  pavement  on  The  Embarcadero,  except  directly  in 
front  of  the  Ferry  Building,  was  laid  in  1917  and  extended  from  Bay 
street  to  a  point  between  Stockton  and  Powell  streets.  It  was  only  30 
feet  in  width,  and  as  the  steadily  increasing  traffic  consistently  traveled 
on  the  smooth  pavement  and  avoided  the  basalt  block  pavement  along- 
side, it  finally  proved  to  be  entirely  inadequate.  Its  width  was  there- 
fore increased  to  60  feet  by  paving  with  a  Topeka  mixture  on  a  con- 
crete base,  and  the  pavement  was  extended  to  Powell  street  and  the 
entrance  to  Pier  43.  The  Belt  Railroad  track  leads  which  were  within 
the  area  were  raised  and  resurfaced  and  paved  with  Topeka  pavement 
on  a  bituminous  concrete  base.  The  work  was  completed  on  April  11, 
1928. 

Following  the  completion  of  the  extensions  to  Piers  30  and  32,  the 
Hyde  Street  Ferry  Terminal  and  Slip  A  Ferry  Terminal,  they  were 
paved  with  the  standard  Topeka  pavement  laid  over  the  decks  of  the 
structures. 

3.    MAINTENANCE  AND  REPAIR 

The  largest  single  piece  of  work  carried  out  by  our  maintenance  and 
pile  driving  forces  during  the  last  two  years  was  the  removal  and 
reconstruction  of  the  dolphin  between  Ferry  Slips  4  and  5.  This  was 
necessitated  partly  on  account  of  natural  deterioration  and  partly  due 
to  damages  caused  by  the  Key  System  and  Southern  Pacific  ferryboats. 
For  this  reason  the  cost  of  the  work  was  divided  on  an  equitable  basis 
between  the  two  companies  and  the  Harbor  Commission. 

The  work  of  reconstructing  fender  lines  and  of  replacing  sills  and 
stringers  under  the  walls  of  the  older  transit  sheds  has  gone  on  almost 
continuously.  Also  in  the  case  of  several  of  the  sheds,  it  was  found 
necessary  to  reconstruct  the  sides  by  sheathing  with  building  paper 
and  new  siding.  In  conjunction  with  this  work  new  doors  and  hang- 
ers were  installed  and  these  sheds  should  now  be  serviceable  for  many 
years.  On  some  of  the  sheds  the  old  shingle  roofs  have  been  covered 
with  roofing  felt,  which  has  deteriorated  to  the  point  where  patching 
is  no  longer  economical.  On  one  of  these  sheds  the  roof  was  removed 
down  to  the  rafters  and  tight  sheathing  and  new  built-up  roofing  were 
laid.  The  results  were  very  satisfactory  and  other  roofs  will  be  simi- 
larly reconstructed  during  the  next  biennium. 

In  addition  to  the  items  specifically  mentioned,  tlie  ordinary  main- 
tenance of  the  structures,  the  repair  of  damages  and  smaller  construc- 
tion jobs  have  been  carried  out  by  the  maintenance  and  pile  driver 
forces. 

4.  DREDGING 

In  the  last  biennial  report  the  development  of  a  portion  of  the  first 
unit  of  the  Islais  Creek-India  Basin  project  was  outlined.  It  was 
stated  that  the  rock  embankment  had  been  constructed  enclosing 
approximately  26  acres  of  tidelands  and  tliat  bids  had  been  received 
for  dredging  the  Islais  Creek  channel  and  reclaiming  the  area,  but 
that  they  had  been  rejected  as  being  too  higli.  In  1927  the  project  was 
revived  and  a  contract  was  awarded  for  filling  this  area.  The  channel 
was  dredged  from  the  Third  street  bridge  to  the  pierhead  line  with 


44  REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 

a  depth  of  35  feet  at  low  tide  and  a  width  of  300  feet.  The  embank- 
ment was  constructed  on  soft  mud  of  a  considerable  depth,  and  just 
after  the  completion  of  the  fill  and  while  it  was  still  in  a  semiliquid 
state,  about  300  feet  of  the  wall  slid  into  the  channel.  This  necessitated 
the  placing  of  some  additional  rock  by  means  of  dump  trucks  and  the 
topping  off'  of  a  portion  of  the  area  with  dry  fill.  The  work  was  finally 
completed  on  November  23,  1927,  and  a  part  of  the  area  is  being  utilized 
in  connection  with  the  construction  of  the  extension  to  the  grain 
terminal.  Following  the  completion  of  this  work  the  United  States 
Engineers  dredged  the  entrance  out  to  deep  water  in  the  bay,  complet- 
ing the  channel  project  to  the  inner  berth  at  the  grain  terminal. 

Even  working  three  8-hour  watches  per  day,  our  present  dredging 
plant  has  hardly  been  able  to  handle  the  necessary  maintenance  dredg- 
ing during  the  last  two  years.  It  was  decided,  therefore,  to  construct 
a  new  clamshell  dredge  and  two  dump  scows  and  bids  were  received  on 
May  9,  1928.  Several  alternate  proposals  were  considered  and  contracts 
were  finally  entered  into  for  a  steel  hull  dredge,  with  machinery  for 
handling  a  four-cubic-yard  bucket  and  for  two  wooden  dump  scows 
of  300  cubic  yards  capacity.  On  June  30,  1928,  the  dredge  was  2  per 
cent  completed  and  the  scows  were  25  per  cent  completed. 

5.  ELECTRICAL 

Following  the  completion  of  the  transit  sheds  on  Pier  50  and  on  the 
extensions  of  Piers  30  and  32  the  electrical  division  made  complete 
installations  for  lighting  and  power.  The  latest  engineering  practice 
in  the  distribution  of  lighting  units  was  followed,  and  the  results  have 
been  highly  satisfactory.  Other  work  carried  out  included  all  lighting 
in  the  offices  of  the  California  Development  Association,  new  services 
on  Piers  18,  26,  29  and  30  and  rewiring  Pier  54.  Along  The  Embarca- 
dero  150  Paragon  lighting  units  were  installed  on  the  old  light  stand- 
ards and  in  front  of  the  Ferry  Building  10  new  double  cast  iron  stand- 
ards replaced  the  old  lighting  units. 

6.  TESTING 

The  testing  laboratory  has  continued  to  function  actively  during  the 
past  two  years.  All  materials  of  construction  have  been  carefully  tested 
and  inspected  before  being  used  in  the  various  structures.  The  same 
service  has  been  performed  for  the  Bureau  of  Architecture,  State 
Department  of  -Public  Works,  an  assistant  having  been  employed  by 
that  department  to  work  with  our  testing  engineer. 

7.    DESIGNING  AND  DRAFTING 

During  the  biennial  period,  plans  and  specifications  were  prepared 
for  the  projects  which  have  been  constructed  or  which  are  now  under 
way.  Plans  were  also  prepared  for  numerous  structures  which  have 
not  yet  been  constructed,  such  as  an  auto  ferry  terminal  at  the  foot  of 
Webster  street,  a  car  ferry  slip  at  the  outer  end  of  Pier  45,  Pjer  1 
immediately  north  of  the  Ferry  Building,  a  wharf  along  the  south  side 
^of  Islais  Creek  east  of  the  Grain  Terminal,  etc.  Studies  were  also 
made  for  a  new  arrangement  of  piers  between  the  Ferry  Building  and 
Lombard  street,  for  additional  storage  'tracks  for  the  Belt  Railroad  and 


REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIOISTEKS  45 

for  a  shop  and  store  building  to  be  located  on  Seawall  Lot  18.  In  addi- 
tion the  routine  work  of  the  drafting  room  was  carried  on  and  a  com- 
plete new  set  of  assignment  plats  was  prepared. 

8.  RECOMMENDATIONS 

The  projects  specifically  recommended  in  the  last  biennial  report 
have  all  been  started  and  will  be  completed  during  the  next  two  years. 
At  this  time  I  wish  to  mention  two  others  which  seem  to  be  of  primary 
importance. 

Shop,  Garage  and  Stores  Building. 

Plans  were  prepared  some  time  ago  for  this  building,  to  be  located 
on  Seawall  Lot  17.  This  lot  apparently  being  needed  for  yard  space 
by  the  Belt  Railroad,  sketch  plans  were  prepared  for  a  building  on 
Lot  18.  Conferences  were  then  held  with  the  Purchasing  Department 
regarding  the  portion  of  the  building  which  was  intended  to  be  for 
their  use,  but  no  definite  action  has  yet  been  taken.  As  the  present 
quarters  are  entirely  inadequate  and  constitute  a  serious  fire  hazard, 
it  is  recommended  that  this  project  be  carried  out  in  the  near  future. 

Beit  Railroad  and  Trucking  Highway  to  Islais  Creek. 

The  construction  of  Piers  48  and  50  south  of  Channel  street,  the  more 
intensive  use  of  Pier  54  and  the  increased  activities  at  Islais  Creek, 
emphasize  the  growing  need  of  a  Belt  Railroad  extension  across  Channel 
street  and  along  Illinois  street  into  the  Islais  Creek-Hunters  Point 
district.  As  the  use  of  this  portion  of  the  water  front  increases,  a 
more  adequate  trucking  highway  will  also  be  required.  Preliminary 
studies  seem  to  indicate  that  this  can  be  accomplished  most  satisfac- 
torily by  constructing  a  new  highway,  street  railway  and  railroad 
bridge  across  Channel  street  at  Third  street  and  by  widening  Illinois 
street  between  Fourth  street  and  Islais  Creek.  The  bridge  project, 
which  will  necessarily  be  a  joint  municipal  and  state  undertaking,  has 
been  the  subject  of  considerable  discussion  and  has  been  tentatively 
approved.  The  highway  project  has  also  been  discussed  to  some  extent, 
and  as  the  Harbor  Commission  controls  the  property  along  the  east  side 
of  Illinois  street  between  Eldorado  and  Eighteenth  streets,  this  would 
also  be  to  some  extent  a  joint  undertaking.  As  the  construction  of  such 
a  bridge  and  the  acquisition  of  the  necessary  right  of  way  for  widening 
Illinois  street  will  require  considerable  time,  during  which  land  values 
will  continue  to  increase,  it  is  recommended  that  such  steps  as  seem 
proper  and  expedient  be  taken  to  further  the  entire  project. 

In  conclusion  I  desire  to  express  my  appreciation  of  the  support 
accorded  to  me  by  the  board  in  connection  with  the  work  of  the  biennial 
period  and  also  to  commend  the  faithful  cooperation  of  all  employees 
of  the  Engineering  Department. 

Respectfully  submitted. 

Frank  G.  White, 
Chief  Engineer.

REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 


REPORT  OF  CHIEF  WHARFINGER 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners, 

San  Francisco,  California.  • 

Gentlemen  :  I  submit  herewith  my  report  as  the  Chief  Wharfinger 
of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners  from  the  date  of  my 
appointment,  May  11,  1927,  to  June  30,  1928. 

The  Wharfinger's  Department  controls  the  vessel  operations  and  the 
berthing  of  vessels  along  the  seventeen  miles  of  berthing  space  avail- 
able, and  charges  and  collects  the  dockage  for  the  use  of  this  space; 
controls  all  of  the  pier  areas,  over  169  acres,  and  allots  it  to  cargo 
operations  in  rotation,  so  that  there  is  seldom  any  pier  area  unused; 
collects  the  tolls  on  all  cargo  and  demurrage  charges  when  cargo 
remains  on  the  piers  beyond  the  free  period. 

The  ever  increasing  number  of  vessel  operations — coastwise,  inland 
waterway,  inter  coastal  and  foreign — tax  the  facilities  at  our  command 
more  and  more.  This  was  alleviated  at  the  beginning  of  this  biennial 
period  by  the  placing  of  the  new  Pier  50  in  operation. 

The  covering  of  bulkheads  and  the  placing  of  the  new  Piers  45  and 
48  in  service  will  enable  us  to  take  care  of  all  operations  that  may  offer 
themselves  for  a  period. 

The  various  piers,  bulkhead  wharves  and  terminals  under  our  juris- 
diction, and  the  classes  of  service  they  are  mainly  engaged  in,  are  as 
follows : 

Coastwise:  Total  number — sixteen. 

Piers:  7,  16,  17,  18,  20,  24,  40,  43;  Sec.  D.,  Seawall;  China  Basin, 
Channel,  16th  street,  17th  street,  Islais  Inner,  Islais  Outer,  and 
Tulare  street  wharves. 
Inland  Waterway :  Total  number — eight. 

Piers  1,  3,  5,  9,  19,  23,  27,  38. 
Inter  coastal:  Total  number — nine. 

Piers  21,  22,  26,  28,  29,  31,  35,  50,  54. 
Foreign:  Total  number — fifteen. 

Piers  11,  25,  30,  32,  33,  34,  36,  37,  39,  41,  42,  44,  46,  China  Basin 
Terminal,  Islais  Creek  Grain  Terminal. 
Miscellaneous:  Fisherman's  Wharf  for  the  fishing  fleet.    Pier  15 
for  idle  boats. 

Vessel  operations  (docking  at  piers  to  load  or  discharge  cargo)  dur- 
ing the  last  three^  six-month  periods  can  be  compared  by  the  following : 

Inland 

Coastwise    wateVway  Foreign  Intercoastal  Total 

January  1  to  June  30,  1927___    4,031           17,534  952  476  22,993 

July  1  to  December  31,  1927__    4,389           20,086  975  626  26,076 

January  1  to  June  30,  1928___    4,132           20,917  1,041  580  26,670 

One  item  of  interest  is  that  the  U.  S.  Battleships  Colorado  and  New 
Mexico  docked  at  Pier  33  for  several  days  commencing  October  26, 
1926,  and  April  25,  1927,  respectively.  The  docking  of  the  Colorado 
was  the  first  instance  of  a  vessel  of  this  type  being  berthed  alongside 
a  pier  in  any  port  on  the  Pacific.  During  their  stay,  the  wharf  area 
was  used  by  the  personnel  of  the  vessels  for  athletic  sports  and  dancing.

REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 


REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  STATE  BELT  RAILROAD 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners, 
San  Francisco,  California. 

Gentlemen:  I  beg  to  submit  herewith  my  report,  as  Superintend- 
ent of  the  State  Belt  Railroad,  to  which  position  I  was  appointed  April 
1,  1927. 

During  the  last  biennium  the  road  switched  265,862  cars,  an  increase 
of  23,933  cars  over  the  preceding  two  years.  The  revenue  has  been 
the  largest  in  the  history  of  the  road,  exceeding  the  1916-1918  period, 
inflated  by  the  World  War  emergency.  In  October,  1927,  a  total  of 
25,105  cars  were  handled,  an  average  of  810  cars  per  day  for  the  thirty- 
one  days.  The  peak  was  reached  on  October  10,  1927,  when  832  cars 
were  switched. 

A  daily  average  of  18  engine  shifts  was  maintained  during  the  peak 
load  period,  and  a  twenty-four-hour  service  is  maintained  each  day, 
except  Sundays  and  holidays,  when  service  is  limited  to  eight  hours. 

Maintenance  of  way  costs  have  been  heavj'-  for  the  past  two  years, 
due  to  the  necessity  of  rebuilding  some  of  our  main  line.  In  the 
replacement  of  rails,  it  was  found  that  the  base  of  these  rails,  laid 
some  fifteen  years  ago,  was  almost  completely  eaten  away  with  rust.  To 
overcome  this,  we  are  now  coating  rails  with  a  preservative  before  lay- 
ing them.  This  plan  is  also  followed  with  all  material  placed  under- 
ground, including  frogs,  switches,  and  tie  plates. 

Maintenance  of  motor  power  and  equipment  has  been  kept  at  a 
high  standard  by  the  personnel  of  our  shops  and,  in  order  to  perform 
this  work  more  economically  and  effectively,  we  have,  during  the 
biennium,  purchased  a  100-ton  hydro-pneumatic  vertical  bushing  press 
and  a  14-inch  Monarch  lathe,  a  radial  drill  press,  and  a  portable  electric 
welder. 

For  the  convenience  of  the  employees  of  the  Belt  Railroad,  there  has 
recently  been  constructed  in  the  railroad  yard  a  change  room,  in  which 
are  installed  toilets,  showers  and  lockers  for  the  shop  and  trainmen. 

A  number  of  new  industries  have  located  near  the  west  side  of  The 
Embarcadero  during  the  period  of  this  report  and  are  being  served  by 
the  Belt  Railroad.  Included  among  these  is  a  paper  company,  whole- 
sale grocery  establishment,  a  cheese  company,  a  large  milling  ware- 
house, and  the  Avarehouse  of  a  chain  store  company. 

The  State  Belt  Railroad  is  seriously  handicapped  for  lack  of  yard 
space  for  the  storage  and  transportation  of  cars,  and  some  provision 
should  be  made  for  such  space  if  the  road  is  to  continue  to  grow  and 
serve  the  piers  and  industries  with  economy  and  dispatch.  Such  expan- 
sion can  be  made  only  at  considerable  cost  in  so  congested  a  district, 
but  the  need  is  imperative. 

In  the  near  future  provision  should  also  be  made  for  the  purchase  of 
an  additional  70-ton  switching  locomotive  and  a  locomotive  crane  of 
50  tons  capacity. 

'  While  every  effort  has  been  put  forth  to  provide  complete  and  effi- 
cient service  for  our  patrons,  the  strict  economy  in  operation  necessary 
for  low  rates  has  not  been  lost  sight  of,  and  the  universal  spirit  of 


REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS  49 

cooperation  displayed  by  steamship  companies,  industries,  and  con- 
necting railroads  assisted  materially  in  maintaining  our-  schedules  and 
avoiding  confusion. 

Respectfully  submitted.

Superintendent.

REPORT  OF  ATTORNEY 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners, 
Ferry  Building,  San  Francisco,  California. 

Dear  Sirs  :  T  beg  to  submit  the  following  report  of  matters  handled 
by  me  for  your  honorable  board  during  the  period  from  August  10, 
1927,  to  October  31,  1928.  These  matters  naturally  fall  into,  and  will 
be  reported  under,  the  following  classifications : 

First — Contracts  and  Agreements. 

Second — Claims  Against  and  in  Behalf  of  Your  Board. 

Third — State  Belt  Railroad. 

Fourth — Other  Litigation. 

Fifth — General  Consultations  and  Advice. 

I 

CONTRACTS  AND  AGREEMENTS 

During  the  above  period  I  have  prepared  for  your  board  nineteen 
contracts  involving  a  total  sum  of  $1,506,208.20,  for  work  to  be  done 
for  the  improvement  of  the  harbor  and  water  front  under  your  juris- 
diction. 

I  have  also  prepared  an  agreement  on  your  behalf  with  the  Cali- 
fornia Development  Association  for  the  assignment  of  space  to  it,  and 
providing  for  the  repayment  to  you,  over  a  period  of  ten  j^^ears,  of 
moneys  expended  by  your  board  in  the  improvement  of  the  said  space 
in  the  Ferry  Building. 

I  have  prepared  a  form  of  bond  and  recommended  that  the  same  be 
used  in  all  cases,  providing  that  all  common  carriers  and  other  owners 
or  operators  of  cars  furnishing  the  same  to  the  State  Belt  Railroad  for 
switching,  indemnify  your  board  individually  and  in  its  representative 
capacity,  against  any  fines  or  penalties  arising  by  reason  of  the  said 
cars  not,  in  all  respects,  meeting  the  requirements  of  the  Federal  Safety 
Appliance  Acts. 

I  have  also  prepared  a  form  to  be  used  by  your  board  in  the  assign- 
ment of  space  in  the  Ferry  Building;  a  special  agreement  re  the  IlycU* 
Street  Ferry  Terminal,  supplementing  an  existing  contract  and  settling 
a  controversy  relative  to  inadequate  mechanism  of  a  slip,  and  a  bond 
for  payment  of  freight  charges,  and  other  miscellaneous  legal  docn- 
ments  as  required.

CLAIMS  AGAINST  AND  IN  BEHALF  OF  YOUR  BOARD 
(a)  Claims  Against  Your  Board. 

Eight  claims  for  damages  alleged  to  have  arisen  because  of  injuries 
to  persons  or  property  by  reason  of  the  operation  and  maintenance  of 
the  State  Belt  Railroad  have  been  considered  and  the  claimants  or 
their  attorneys  answered.   Liability  in  all  cases  was  denied. 

The  claim  of  Philip  Diez,  formerly  one  of  your  employees,  against 
your  board  and  the  State  Compensation  Insurance  Fund  has  been  con- 
sidered, and  I  am  cooperating  with  said  State  Compensation  Insurance 


52  REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS 

Fund  in  its  adjudication  and  settlement  of  this  matter  before  the  Indus- 
trial Accident  Commission. 

(b)  Claims  Made  in  Behalf  of  Your  Board. 

Pursuant  to  legal  enactment,  I  prepared  a  claim  on  behalf  of  the 
cashier  of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners  of  San  Francisco 
for  $2,039.98  relative  to  additional  compensation  for  services  rendered 
by  certain  pile  drivers. 

I  have  also  considered  and  am  now  endeavoring  to  collect  three 
claims  in  favor  of  your  board  against  various  individuals  in  the  aggre- 
gate amount  of  $350. 

I  have  been  successful  in  collecting  two  claims  in  favor  of  your  board 
for  damages  to  state  property  in  the  aggregate  amount  of  $775.28. 

Ill 

STATE  BELT  RAILROAD 

(a)  Inquests. 

I  have  attended  five  coroner's  inquests  in  connection  with  persons 
killed  by  the  State  Belt  Railroad,  and  have  secured  a  verdict,  in  each 
instance,  absolving  the  said  railroad  from  all  liability  or  blame. 

(b)  Accidents. 

I  have  received  reports  on  and  considered  twenty-five  other  accidents. 
In  eight  of  these  cases  claims  for  damages  were  filed  against  your  board, 
which  I  have  disposed  of  as  reported  above  under  the  heading 
Claims."    No  claims  relative  to  the  remaining  seventeen  accidents 
have  as  yet  been  made. 

(c)  Litigation  Involving  Alleged  Violations  of  the  Federal  Safety  Appliance  Act. 

A  matter  in  which  your  board  is  vitally  interested  is  the  question  to 
be  decided  by  the  United  States  courts,  of  the  liability,  if  any,  of  your 
board,  individuall}^  or  in  its  representative  capacity,  for  penalties  or 
fines  under  the  Federal  Safety  Appliance  Act,  in  the  operation  of  the 
State  Belt  Railroad. 

This  matter  has,  on  various  occasions,  been  presented  by  my  prede- 
cessor in  office  to  the  United  States  District  Court,  the  Circuit  Court  of 
Appeals  and  the  United  States  Supreme  Court,  upon  the  theory  that 
an  action  against  your  board  to  impose  such  fines  or  penalties  is  an 
action  against  the  State  of  California,  and  can  not  be  maintained  at  all, 
or,  at  any  rate,  not  in  the  United  States  District  Court. 

The  United  States  courts  have  decided  that  such  actions  are  not 
actions  against  the  state,  but  that  the -Harbor  Commissioners,  .indi- 
vidually, are  personally  liable  for  the  fines  upon  a  tort  theory. 

In  appealing  the  last  such  case  tried  in  the  District  Court  prior  to  my 
taking  office,  I  endeavored  to  raise,  before  the  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals, 
two  new  points,  viz:  that  the  principle  of  respondeat  superior  has  no 
application  to  public  officers  in  connection  with  a  tort  committed  by  a 
'  subordinate  officer,  and  that  the  Federal  Safety  Appliance  Act  did  not 
authorize  the  imposition  of  a  penalty  against  any  individual,  but 
against  a  common  carrier  only.  As  these  points  were  not  presented  by 


REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  STATE  HARBOR  COMMISSIONERS  53 

the  record  in  the  lower  court,  they  were  not  considered  by  the  United 
States  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals. 

During  the  past  year  I  have  arranged  for  the  presentation  to  the 
United  States  courts  of  a  new  test  case,  and  the  same  is  now  under 
submission  before  Honorable  A.  F.  St.  Sure,  United  States  District 
Judge,  upon  briefs.  The  aforesaid  points  have  been  fully  presented, 
and  the  record  will  be  in  a  condition  to  properly  present  said  points 
to  the  appellate  court. 

In  the  meantime,  judgments  in  four  cases  involving  total  penalties 
and  costs  of  $765.85  have  been  rendered  against  your  predecessors  in 
office  and  one  judgment  of  $100  against  the  present  board.  Up  to  the 
present  time  I  have  been  successful  in  arranging  with  the  United  States 
attorney  to  stay  executions  upon  said  judgments. 

Besides  the  case  now  under  submission  and  the  cases  in  which  judg- 
ments were  rendered  prior  to  my  taking  office,  there  are  three  cases 
pending,  one  against  your  predecessors  in  office  and  two  against  your- 
selves, involving  the  same  questions.  The  case  now  under  submission 
will  serve  as  a  test  case  for  the  determination  of  said  three  cases. 

(d)  Litigation  Arising  Out  of  the  Operation  of  the  State  Belt  Railroad. 

Crean  vs.  Harbor  Board. — This  is  an  action  for  damages  to  the 
extent  of  $50,000  alleged  to  have  arisen  by  reason  of  Charles  Crean, 
husband  of  plaintiff,  having  met  with  a  fatal  accident  on  the  State  Belt 
Railroad.  A  demurrer  will  be  filed  in  due  course,  and  if  overruled  all 
liability  will  be  denied  by  answer  and  the  case  tried. 

Lucille  De  Martini,  Defendant  and  Cross-complainant,  vs.  California 
Steel  Products  Co.  and  Board  of  State  Harhor  Commissioners,  Cross- 
defendants. — There  were  cross-complaints  filed  by  De  Martini  in  three 
suits  arising  out  of  an  accident  alleged  to  have  occurred  by  reason  of 
the  operation  of  the  State  Belt  Railroad.  All  of  these  cross-complaints 
were  dismissed  with  prejudice  against  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Com- 
missioners after  I  submitted  authorities  to  cross-complainant 's  attorney 
showing  that  your  board  was  not  liable. 

IV 

OTHER  LITIGATION 

(a)  Cases  Involving  Claims  Against  Your  Board. 

Henry  Cowell  Lime  and  Cement  Co.  vs.  State  of  California  et  al. — 
This  action  has  now  been  pending  for  approximately  fourteen  years  and 
was  originally  brought  by  plaintiff  to  enjoin  defendant  from  interfering 
with  plaintiff's  building  on  a  certain  strip  of  land  along  The  Embarca- 
dero  and  involves  the  title  to  said  land.  Said  strip  of  land  adjoined 
land  admittedly  owned  by  plaintiff.  I  have  been  endeavoring  to  make 
a  final  disposition  of  this  matter  by  settlement  if  possible.  Otherwise,  it 
Avill  be  necessary  to  proceed  to  trial  early  next  year.  This  case  is  now 
on  the  general  trial  calendar. 

Schaal  vs.  Watts  and  Board  of  State  Harhor  Commissioners  et  al. — 
This  is  an  action  for  damages  to  the  extent  of  $25,500  alleged  to  have 
arisen  by  reason  of  the  operation  of  a  truck  belonging  to  the  Harbor 
Board.    Said  action  was  filed  in  Alameda  County,  and  a  motion  for

change  of  place  of  trial  to  San  Francisco  County  was  granted,  but  the 
case  has  not  been  refiled  in  San  Francisco  County  by  plaintiff  as  yet, 
and  I  believe  that  the  demurrer  filed  with  the  above  mentioned  motion, 
together  with  the  authorities  which  I  submitted  to  plaintiff's  attorney, 
have  convinced  plaintiff  that  your  board  is  not  liable. 

McGinn  vs.  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners. — This  action 
involves  the  blockading  of  Channel  street  between  Seventh  and  Caro- 
lina streets  and  is  of  considerable  importance  by  reason  of  the  fact  that 
it  involves  the  control  and  jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor 
Commissioners  over  said  portion  of  Channel  street.  This  case  is  set 
for  trial  on  November  14,  1928. 

(b)  Suits  and  Proceedings  by  and  on  Behalf  of  Your  Board. 

In  the  Matter  of  James  K.  Nelson,  Inc.,  a  Bankrupt. — The  libel  suits 
involved  in  this  matter  have  been  completed  and  the  sums  available 
])rorated  and  paid.   The  bankruptcy  proceedings  are  still  pending. 

People,  etc.  ex  rel.  Wm.  A.  Sherman  et  al.  vs.  McCarthy  et  al. — This 
was  an  action  for  damages  to  state  property  involving  small  amounts 
and  was  finally  settled  for  the  sum  of  $50. 

People,  etc.  ex  rel.  Wm.  A.  Sherman  vs.  Cassaretto  et  al. — This 
case  involves  the  right  of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners  to 
charge  tolls  for  the  use  of  a  portion  of  Channel  street.  The  case  itself 
was  for  one  $15  charge,  and  the  complaint  was,  in  my  opinion,  inade- 
quate and  it  was  not  deemed  advisable  to  proceed  to  trial  thereon. 
Accordingly,  said  suit  was  dismissed,  and  I  am  now  preparing  a  test 
ease  which  will  properly  raise  the  issues  involved  in  this  matter. 

People,  etc.  vs.  Coryell  and  U.  S.  Fidelity  and  Guaranty  Co. — This 
action  has  been  hanging  fire  for  over  eleven  years.  Had  I  received  this 
case  in  time,  I  believe  I  could  have  collected  the  entire  amount.  How- 
ever, despite  the  long  delay,  I  endeavored  to  collect  same  for  your 
account,  but  the  court  dismissed  the  case  for  lack  of  prosecution,  five 
years  having  elapsed  since  defendant  filed  its  answer  and  no  stipula- 
tion having  been  entered  into  extending  the  time  for  trial.  When  this 
case  was  turned  over  to  me  by  my  predecessor  it  was  my  understanding 
that  trial  thereof  had  been  commenced,  but  it  was  not  then  on  the  trial 
calendar  and  had  never  been  started. 

I  had  the  case  set  for  trial,  but  before  said  date  was  reached  the  case 
was  dismissed  for  the  reasons  above  stated. 

I  feel  that  in  view  of  the  many  extensions  granted  in  this  matter  at 
the  request  of  the  United  States  Fidelity  and  Guaranty  Company,  and 
the  representations  made  to  prior  boards  in  connection  therewith,  that 
the  motion  to  dismiss  should  have  never- been  made. 

People  vs.  Biosenherg  (two  cases). — These  cases  involve  claims  for 
wharfage  services  furnished  to  defendant  in  the  aggregate  sum  of 
approximately  $450.  Judgments  were  obtained,  but  no  money  has 
been  collected  as  yet. 

The  former  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners  refused  a  settle- 
'  ment  that  was  offered  in  this  matter,  and  which  settlement  is  not  now 
renewable.  I  have  been  unable  to  locate  the  defendant  or  any  prop- 
erty belonging  to  him  up  to  the  present  time.    When  last  heard  of.

he  was  in  New  York  City,  but  in  spite  of  every  effort  made,  I  have  been 
unable  to  get  in  touch  with  him.  Should  he  become  available  or  any 
property  be  located  belonging  to  him,  I  will  endeavor  to  collect  this 
account.

GENERAL  CONSULTATIONS  AND  ADVICE 

It  is  my  aim  and  purpose,  as  attorney  for  the  Board  of  State  Harbor 
Commissioners  and  the  State  Belt  Railroad,  to  give  to  the  Harbor  Com- 
missioners and  their  staff  complete  legal  protection  in  all  matters  relat- 
ing to  the  harbor  and  harbor  improvement  operations,  and  I  am  pleased 
to  report  that  during  the  period  of  my  employment  all  matters  referred 
to  me  have  been  kept  up  to  date. 

Also,  it  has  been  and  is  my  desire  to  personally  protect  and  safe- 
guard the  interests  of  the  harbor  and  the  Harbor  Commissioners  to  the 
best  of  my  ability.  In  this  connection  I  am  pleased  to  report  that  up 
to  the  present  time,  I  have  been  successful  in  defending  your  board 
against  all  claims  and  have  not  authorized  any  money  to  be  paid  out  as 
the  result  of  any  claim. 

There  are  still  some  unfinished  matters  which  have  been  left  to  j^our 
board  from  boards  that  have  since  passed  out  of  existence.  It  is  my 
desire  to  dispose  of  all  past  matters  whenever  this  can  be  done  to  the 
advantage  and  best  interests  of  your  board. 

I  have,  at  your  request,  submitted  opinions  in  writing  upon  matters 
in  connection  with  which  you  desired  a  legal  opinion,  and  have  con- 
stantly given  opinions  and  advice  orally  and  over  the  telephone,  not 
only  to  members  of  your  board  but  to  your  executive  employees.  In 
this  connection,  it  has  been  my  effort  to  make  my  services  constantly 
available  both  to  yourselves  and  to  your  various  departments  and 
executive  employees,  so  that  they  might  have  the  benefit  of  legal  advice 
at  any  and  all  times. 

I  have  examined,  at  your  request,  the  title  to  various  portions  of 
the  water  front,  and  particularly  to  the  so-called  Aquatic  Park  site. 

I  have  effected  a  settlement  of  a  controversy  between  Manning- 
Baldwin,  Inc.,  and  their  creditors,  and  disposed  of  garnishment  pro- 
ceedings against  moneys  due  Manning-Baldwin,  Inc.,  from  your  board, 
and  have  personally  supervised  the  payment  of  said  moneys  to  tlie 
bonding  company  for  distribution  among  the  said  creditors. 

I  have,  at  your  request,  interviewed  your  employees  prior  to  their 
depositions  being  taken  in  a  suit  against  the  Southern  Pacific  Com})any 
relative  to  damages  claimed  against  said  companj^  involving  sliipments 
handled  in  part  by  the  State  Belt  Railroad. 

I  am  now  preparing  a  resume  of  all  laws  and  statutes  affecting  tlie 
jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners  over  all 
harbor  property  with  a  view  of  recommending  to  the  legislature 
amendments  to  such  of  the  laws  and  statutes  as  are  not  now  in  proper 
form  to  give  the  board  adequate  powers  for  the  proper  administration 
of  its  affairs.  This  will  take  some  time,  but  I  hope  to  accomplish  some 
good  results  from  same. 

Respectfully  submitted. 

Leon  E.  Morris, 

Attorney.

SAN  FRANCISCO  PILOTAGE  AND  TOWAGE  RATES 
Port  of  San  Francisco — Charges,  Regulations,  Etc.,  Not  Under  Jurisdiction  of 
Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners 

PILOTAGE 

Jurisdiction :  San  Francisco  Board  of  Pilot  Commissioners,  a  state  body,  composed 
of  three  members.  Office  of  Commissioner,  Merchants  Exchange  Building,  San  Fran- 
cisco ;  Pilot  Office,  Pier  7,  San  Francisco. 

Pilotage  in  and  out  of  San  Francisco  harbor  is  under  the  jurisdiction  of  a  State 
Board  of  Pilot  Commissioners,  appointed  by  the  Governor,  which  body  establishes  the 
rules  and  regulations  regarding  the  conduct  of  all  pilots,  as  well  as  licensing  and 
commissioning  pilots. 

Pilotage  in  and  out  of  San  Francisco  Bay  is  generally  compulsory,  except  as 
follows : 

All  vessels  sailing  under  an  enrollment,  and  engaged  in  the  coasting  trade  between 
the  Port  of  San  Francisco  and  any  other  port  of  the  United  States  are  exempt  from 
pilotage  unless  a  pilot  be  actually  employed. 

All  foreign  vessels  and  all  American  vessels  from  a  foreign  port  or  bound  thereto, 
and  all  vessels  sailing  under  a  register  between  the  Port  of  San  Francisco  and  any 
other  port  of  the  United  States  are  liable  for  pilotage. 

Rates  for  pilotage  are  fixed  by  state  laws  as  follows: 

All  vessels  under  500  tons,  $2  per  draught  foot; 

All  vessels  over  500  tons,  $2  per  draught  foot  and  2  cents  per  ton  for  each  and 
every  ton  registered  measurement ;  and  every  vessel  spoken  inward  and  outward 
bound,  except  as  hereinafter  provided,  shall  pay  the  said  rates. 
A  vessel  is  spoken  by  day  by  a  pilot  boat  displaying  a  union  jack,  or  by  night 
displaying  a  torch  or  flare-up  within  a  distance  of  three  miles  of  the  vessel.    In  all 
cases  where  inward  bound  vessels  are  not  spoken  until  inside  of  the  bar  the  rates  of 
pilotage  herein  provided  shall  be  reduced  50  per  cent.    Vessels  engaged  in  the  whaling 
or  fishing  trades  shall  be  exempt  from  all  pilotage  except  where  a  pilot  is  actually 
employed. 

In  the  event  a  vessel  not  carrying  cargo  to  the  Port  of  San  Francisco,  nor  seeking 
any  thereat,  is  compelled  to  enter  said  port  solely  by  reason  of  her  being  in  distress 
or  requiring  repairs,  provisions  or  fuel,  the  rates  of  pilotage  into  said  harbor  shall 
be  as  follows: 

All  vessels  under  500  tons,  $1  per  draught  foot; 

All  vessels  over  500  tons,  $1  per  draught  foot  and  1  cent  per  ton  for  each  and 
every  ton  registered  measurement ;  and  every  vessel  spoken  inward  bound  shall 
pay  the  said  rates.  There  shall  be  no  reduction  of  rates  of  pilotage  to  vessels 
in  distress  where  the  vessel  is  spoken  inside  the  bar.  In  the  event  that  the 
vessel  shall  leave  the  Port  of  San  Francisco  without  carrying  any  cargo  there- 
from, she  shall  pay  the  last-mentioned  rates  of  pilotage  out  of  the  harbor  of 
San  Francisco.
