C. Sessions and the deeds drawn and signed ready for transfer of a tract of tweny-slx acres and fraction of land fronting on the northeast end of the SanLeandro canal and on the west shore of San Leandro bay to the Pacific Tank company, i a local manufacturing lndustiy controlled by eastern capital. A portion of the tract will be occupied by a large manufacturing establishment, which will In all probability give employment to several hundred skilled workmen. The remainder of-the tract will be held In reserve.

Works to Be Erected. tt Is understood that the corporation will begin the erection of its proposed works as soon as it Is assured that the canal will be thrown open to navigation for commercial uses. Apparently all that is needed to accomplish this Is the pas sage of a resolution by the county board of supervisors to provide for the operation and maintenance of the drawbridges crossing the canal. Tripartite Agreement. bome months ago an agreement was reached between the supervisors, the city authorities of Alameda and Colonel Bid-die, U.

S. engineer In charge of rivers and harbors on the Pacific coast, for the opening of the waterway to commerce. The supervisors then agreed to appoint bridge tenders and provide for the operation and maintenance of the drawbridges and the Alameda authorities pledged themselves to furnish from the municipal electric plant the power needed to operate them. War Department Consents. The arrangement wasqulte satisfactory to Colonel Biddle and gave his consent to the: use of the canal by commerce nd also ths use of narrow strip the government pn each side of "the" canal for wharflng out He represented then that the reason the War Department "cottldpot undertake the operation and maintenance of the drawbridges was because Congress had not made any appropriation of money to cover the expense.

Since then his report recommending the use of the canal by commerce under the agreement reached has been Incorporated in the report of the Secretary of War to Congress with his approval. The recommendation carried with It thy suggestion that Congress declare the canal navigable waterway. Supervisorial Action Needed The personnel of the county board qf supervisors changed after the agreement was made and Colonel Biddle' report was submitted; but bo far the necessary local legislation to put the agreement Into effect has not been passed. All that Is needed to put It Into effect Is the passage of a resolution obligating the county to man, operate and maintain the drawbridges. Why Congress Delays.

Pending the passage of such a resolution. Congress Is delaying declaring the canal navigable water, for that would make It obligatory fon Congress to provide for the expense of operating the bridges which the supervisors and the Alameda authorities have voluntarily agreed to assume. Other Industries Waiting. It Is understood that several large In dustrial firms are ready to close Im portant deals for tracts bordering on the canal as soon as the necessary steps are taken to assure Its being opened to com merce. The consideration for the Pacific Tank company property Is reserved.

Before making this purchase the Pacific Tank company had previously acquired ownership to twelve acres of land on the north side of the canal west of High street drawbridge.
