Improvements for Havana's Harbor. The Provisional Governor of Cuba, Hon. Chas. E. Magoon, signed on January 26, 1909, a decree ceding to Harris Bros. Co., the well-known merchants of Havana, cer- tain lands fronting on Havana harbor, with the right to dredge the bay and fill the low lands behind the bulkhead in the harbor be- tween Matadero and Agua Dulce creeks. The Atares Wharf & Warehouse Co., of Havana, purchased this concession from the Harris Bros. Co., together with certain lands, rights and contracts acquired later, all of which form the basis and value of the present paid un capital of this company, $800,000.
