Now. there is but 3 miles difference in distance between Santa Monica and San Pedro to Los Angeles. as I stated yesterday that it is a triangle. on one side with San Pedro. 3 miles longer than the side to Santa Monica. The great interest. leaving out Mr. Huntingtons personal interest and that of his company. withthe people of Los Angeles and southern California is to secure an outside harbor at a port which is to receive this Asiatic commerce. If. then. either of these points can be made that entrep6t. it simply becomes a question of expense. which is the cheaper. As I understand the Senator from Maine to sayand I believe it tobe truewith $392.000 and a systematic and intelligent improvement of the inside harbor at San Pedro we can secure what these witnesses claimed they were desirous of obtaining.
