Held on Monday, February 9, 1931, at the hour of 3:30 oclock p.m., due notice of

Communication from C. H. Purcell, State Highway Engineer, dated February 3, 1931,

stating that the resolution referred to in President Fishers letter to him, under date

of January 20, 1931, was not passed by Bridge Authority and was not shown in the minutes

as passed and transmitting copy of supplemental plan, which he had filed with United

Communication from the Longview Dredging Construction Company, offering to

deliver dredged material, amounting to approximately 690,000 cubic yards, from the widening of the entrance channel to Oaklands Outer Harbor on the 1720-acre water-

front property north of Key Route Mole at a cost of three cents per cubic yard, was

laid on the table.

The necessity for obtaining a proposal for depositing dredge spoils from the widening of the entrance channel to Oaklands Outer Harbor, by the War Department, on the Citys waterfront property of 1720 acres north of the Key Route Mole, was based on statement made by Lt. Col. T. M. Robins, U. S. Division Engineer and his assistant Lt. Col. R. F. Thomas, at a meeting with the Board on January 26, 1931, that officials of the Key System Transit Company had filed written communication with the U. S. Engineer Department, San Francisco, and also with the Longview Dredging

Construction Company, the low bidder on this dredging, that if an attempt were made

to place these dredge spoils in the north fairway of the Key System franchise, as

contemplated in the bids for this work, the company would take such legal steps as it might deem necessary to prevent the contractor depositing dredge spoils in said fairway.

President A. J. Lundberg and H. P. Bell, Vice-President of the Key System Transit

Company who were present at this meeting of the Board, also stated that legal proceed-

ings would be taken to prevent the contractor placing any fill in the north fairway of its franchise.

Lt. Col. Robins recommended that the Board take early steps to decide whether it would be willing to have the dredge spoils in question placed on its 1720-acre tract, for if this action were not taken soon it would be necessary to readvertise for bids, which would greatly delay this project. He further stated that decision in this matter should be made by the Board before February 1s, 1931.

Public Notice by the U. S. Engineers Office, San Francisco, California, on appli-

cation of the City of Alameda to lay submarine cable across the channel in San Fran-

cisco Bay, west of and parallel to center line of the Bay Farm Island bridge, was filed. Communication from the County Clerk of Alameda County advising the Board that the

Superior Court had rendered a decision confirming the right of the Port Commission to continue a spur track through the premises leased to the American Dredging Company, subject to a trial to determine whether the location as now used was the most feasible, was filed.

Parr Terminal Companys dismissal of its first cause of action was filed, indicating that the company would not proceed to trial, on the ground that it had constructed vegetable oil storage facilities, but would, on the contrary, appeal from the Courts decision declaring amendment of its lease invalid.

Communication from the Port of New York Authority, asking that the Board approve a Bill now before Congress authorizing the Treasury Department to establish 24-hour quarantine inspection at stations which, in its judgment, may require such service, was read and approved and the Port Manager directed to address communications to certain senators and representatives asking them to support this legislation.

The Port Manager reported that the Oakland Chamber of Commerce desired a meeting with the Board to discuss the matter of the trensbay bridge, on which a public hearing will be held on February 17, 1931, and the Port Manager was directed to advise the Cham- ber of Commerce that the hour of 3:00 p.m., Monday, February 16, would be agreeable to the Board.

The report of the Port Manager for the month of January, was filed.

The report of the Auditing Committee on claims and demands was adopted.

He stated that the expenses of a trial would amount to several thousand dollars and that it would be desirable as a nuisance settlement to dispose of the case for anything less than $4500.00.

Ltd., should not be charged for such exchange of passengers.

The Port Manager was authorized to accept the proposal of the California Ap- praisal Co. to make appraisal of the properties owned by the City of Oakland and designated as Howard Terminal Piers Nos. 1 and 2, lying outside of the low water line, for the purpose of ascertaining the insurable value of these structures, at a cost of

Report of the Accountant on airplanes hangaring and revenues accruing for various periods at Oakland Municipal Airport, was filed.

The Port Manager submitted a report showing that a reduction in service charges requested by steamship lines would, on a basis of five cents per ton on the fifty-cent charge, result in a loss of revenue of approximately $8000.00 per annum on outbound cargo movement and approximately $2600.00 on inbound business, both based on the tonnage handled over the municipal terminals in the calendar year 1930.

cotton through Howard Terminal. No action was taken thereon but the Board stated
