Much Will Depend Upon Division of Line Haul and Charges Tlio joint terminal plan by which ttio ntj is to take cur the Southern Pncifi terminals at San Pedro mav bo closed up in a fa (lavs con-fpioupp a boimr bold today between tho railinad ongmeois and tho harboi engineers and it Is expected that an agreement ill bp reached soon Thp original plan provided that thp railroad should lease to thp oitv all Its wharves and terminal facili-tios and receive 5 ppr cent upon an agreed valuation suhlpct to the approval of thp state railroad commission The city Is to contract with the Pacific Electric to do all physical work incident to the operation of terminals the price paid to be approved bv the railroad commission The terminal charge shall be deducted from the line haul and cover the cost of operation and return 5 per rent upon the valuation agreed upon Until this charge Is made nnhlle there is considerable doubt here as to thp effect the new agreement will ha upon the future prosperity of i Pedro Should the Criminal charge he excessive it will still further intrench the jobbing business in I-os ngeles as too large a proportion tikcn from the line haul would handicap the handling of goods at thp harbor The principal argument made In favor of the scheme in Bos ngeles is tint it would do away vith any switihmg charge inasmuch ns all terminal (barges will come out of the imp haul
