agricultural machinery and miscellaneous merchandise "One of the most important features of a deep water channel is that It would assure and perpetuate terminal rail rates for Stockton Summary "In this report and In a report submitted previously local interests have made what they consider a showing to justify the expenditure for widening and deepening the Fan Joaquin river and Stockton channel to permit the movement of off-shore shipping and to Install suitable terminal and harbor facilities It is realized that the figures presented la this report have covered only' possible Hems of tonnage and have not dealt with the amount that might be diverted through the proposed port at Stockton These figures are in process of procural and will be submitted when obtained "Appended to the report was a table showing the volume by counties of the agricultural products of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys compiled from report of the department of agriculture and California field agent uayor I'reeeats (nation In sounding the keynote of Stock-ton desires in the way of a harbor and deep wafer to the sea Mayor fullahan a ho was the first speaker for the local people spoke in part as follows: A we all know the existing project for the improvement of 5n Joa quin river and Stockton channel practically a thing accomplished The nine-foot channel thus provided is a great advantage as it was expected to be and serves well our present purposes But gentlemen you know better than ourselves that if it be established that conditions here are changing and hold out the firm promise of commerce for this port of a character and volume which will attract vessels of a deeper draft then we must have a deeoer channel We believe we can establish that fact and that necessity That belief makes us bold to say that a nine-foot channel will no more fit the reqifirements of the port of Stockton ugthin the next few years than will tlfe shoes of a child fit the feet of a man Ho we come to ask your approval of our new project for a 24-foot channel to the sea In our appearance before your honorable board in Washington in 1919 in the matter of this application we pledged the city of Stockton to bear one-half of the cost of the proposed improvement and to furnish the rights of way and provide for the disposal of the dredge spoils Furthermore In keeping with the declared policy of congress imposing a condition in respect to new projects for river improvement we agreed to provide an adequate public terminal to be constructed owned and regulated by the municipality which would be open to all on equal terms We now renew that pledge In Its entiretv Here It Is pertinent to rarite that thei wharves of Stockton have alwas 1 been municipally owned and muni-j cipally contfolled and open to ail on equal terms I take leave to remind you that by formal aetton of our city government we made request of your honorable body for your cooperation in tha design of a harbor and for assistance in planning the layout and equipment of terminal facilities In a 1 things we have strived to give evidence of our earnestness and to show the fullest meeiuire of co-operation by the interests Let me ad! ano'her thought here When we aak for fed- 1 era! aid we are prepared to prove that we have helped ourselves For over thlrtv yera It ha been written Into the organic law of tbs city that 4 per cent of

production of the atae and of this the average amount annually exported is from 300 to 350- 000 tons Stockton has long enjoyed a rail differential under Port Costa from San Joaquin valley points en grain at present this differential being BO cents per ton Conservatively estimating half this tonnage moving by the port of Stockton the saving Tn rail freight charges would annually amount to approximately $140000 "In addition to this saving practically all of the warehouses in Stockton are publicly operated and in addition have adequate machinery for cleaning grain The Stock-ton waterfront ia also largely muni cipally owned and 1 constantly be ing improved a charter provision providing that 4 per cent of the entire revenue of the city be set aside for that purpose To date the municipality has spent or has authorized expenditures totalling $991118 Other Grains prodooed "How extensive the grain industry is can be seep from the attached statements Besides the barley tonnage the valleys produce 63590 tons of oorn 67 per cent of the Mate's output 62 per cent of the vheat or 141150 tons and 223820 ions of rice The entire grain export business from the entire arm of California raav be expected to find its outlet to deep water ships at gtockton Thei Bean Yirt1 "The aallable figures show a production of 17242 tons of beans The yield for this crop during the past
