N. WHITE Anheim, Calif. BRADLEY-WISE PAINT CO. LOS ANGELES THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER FINLEY RAPS LEASE HARBOR FRONTAGE A broadside has been fired by Supervisor S. H. Finley of Santa Ana. His target is the proposal of the Orange-co harbor commission to lease 1000 feet of the county's Newport harbor frontage to John F. Craig, of Long Beach. Finley declares that in losing control of the best of its free waterfront, Orange-co will get practically nothing for the reason that private owners will benefit most by the $50,-000 dredging that is to be done in payment for the proposed 50-year lease to Craig. That the county is not going to gain a foot of frontage by reason of its dredging operation, that some of the money planned under the bond issue for rock to be dumped on the jettles at the new mouth of the Santa Ana river was diverted to dredging, are among charges made by Finley. In addition to the kick from Supervisor Finley W. H. Welch, of Costa Mesa, has also entered a proposal taking the view that supervisors ought not to sign the lease of Craig. The proposed Craig lease has been drawn up by Attorney Clyde Bishop for the harbor commission and is now in Craig's hands for his signature. It is believed that the lease will be returned signed and will be brot before supervisors for approval next Tuesday. The statement by Supervisor Finley touches upon the dredging policy of the harbor commission. Finley contends that the commission should have devoted more attention to the entrance to the bay than to dredging inside of the bay. Finley's statement follows: If the time comes when Newport is a commercial or pleasure harbor of importance this 1000-foot section will be one of the two most desirable frontages of equal length on the entire waterfront. If nothing more is done than the work now in progress, the additional dredging to be secured by the gift of this lease would be of no practical use to anyone in the county other than those owning land them to expend $500,000, and we have no more moral right to dispose of it to increase the dredging than we would to dispose of the County Park, with Mr. Irvine's consent, for its same purpose. "Fifth, it seems to have been the policy to get the maximum amount of channels dredged with the minimum amount expenditure on more vital parts of the work. "For instance, a definite amount of work was provided in the original plan for the new mouth of the river on which the bond issue was based. Instead of carrying out that plan, the amount of rock used there was reduced, according to official statements, to the extent of 40,000 tons. This, of course, left more money available for dredging purposes. I seriously question the legality of diverting any portion of the money provided for the river outlet to any other purpose until and unless that work has been carried out in its entirety. "What is going to happen in the future if it develops that the additional work provided for becomes necessary? It will probably be found necessary to provide for it a second time by a bond issue or direct tax, to avoid damage suits for injury to lands in the interior. "The dredging of channels is of minor importance to the people of Orange-co when compared to that of the river outlet and harbor entrance. "Unless these two things are a success the channels will be useful mainly to private land and lot owners. "These two things cannot well-be taken care of by private interests. The dredging can and would be taken care of by landowners benefiting by it when there is a demand for it. "I am making this statement not for the purpose of criticising or knocking anybody or anything, but solely for the purpose of performing my duty as a public officer and calling the attention of the public to certain matters for which I might be held responsible should I not do so."

ATTENTION OIL WORKERS! Finley's statement follows: If the time comes when Newport is a commercial or pleasure harbor of importance this 1000-foot section will be one of the two most desirable frontages of equal length on the entire waterfront. If nothing more is done than the work now in progress, the additional dredging to be secured by the gift of this lease would be of no practical use to anyone in the county other than those owning land adjacent, among whom it is reported are the lessor and associates whom, I understand, are largely interested in the dredger that is to perform the work. "Second, when the campaign for harbor bonds was on in this county, the voters were given to understand that there was a frontage of 35 miles more or less along which were acres and acres of public tide land which when filled by the expenditure of the $500,000 would automatically become valuable public property. "From what little information is given out, I am of the opinion that if the policy of the present harbor commission is carried out, the $500,-000 will be spent without the county having an interest in a single square foot of the tide lands made valuable by dredging operations. "The only "look-in" for the public that I see is across this privately donated land and now they propose to give 1000 feet of it away—not for $50,000 in cash but for a designated amount of dredging to make more channels in front of private property, and the very material taken from the channel will probably be used to improve private property. "When the eternal triangle is completed what will be the result? This is what might very casily happen on the assumption that the recipients of the 1000-foot frontage, the dredging company and adjacent land owners are one and the same which seems to be fairly well established by rumor. "The lands of the syndicate might be filled or otherwise made valuable by dredging adjacent channels paid for by 1000-feet of county-owned frontage. The county might be out and the land owners in, when the circle is completed. "Third, I do not believe the board of supervisors has the legal right to dispose of this land for the purpose of additional work beyond the $500,-000 expenditure. The harbor commission was created for one purpose only and that is the expenditure of $500,000 provided by the bond issue. The harbor act specifically states that when it has completed that work it automatically goes out of business.

Welch, of Costa Mesa, takes the view that the failure of Craig to say what he proposes to do with the property and the failure of Orangeco so far to stipulate in the lease that he shall do anything with the property will leave the harbor high and dry so far as opportunity for development is concerned. "Just as sure as Craig, the ship builder, gets a 50-year lease of the 1000-foot frontage on Newport harbor," writes Welsh, "just that sure will Newport harbor be held up in such a way that it will not amount to anything to speak of for 50 years. By that time Los Angeles harbor will be so strong that no matter what Newport may do, Los Angeles will not feel it.
