IL Secretary and "A member Of the commission
appointed TO inquire into the causes Of the de-
cline Of the Of the port of New York,
appeared before the Senate Finance Commit
tee this afternoon and urged the passage Of tho
bill providing that the commission need not
make its final report to the Legislature until

for the expenses Of the commission.
Mr., Smith stated that so far the commission
had made only a preliminary investigation Of
the dockaGe facilities in New York city. He
told the committee that such facilities were
largely inadequate TO accommodate the steam
ships and other shipping interests. and that in
consequence he rent for desirable docks was
excessive. MI. Smith declared that within his
own knowledge eight or ten steamship com pa
mics had been forced to Boston. Philadelphia,
ana other ports because proper dockage facili-
ties. were not available at the port of New
York. He declared that the lack Of such facil-
tiles and the high rentals which necessarily
followed such n condition were in a great de-
gree responsible for the decline in the COM
merce Of New York city. How this could be
remedied. he said, was n difficult question.
especially as the indebtedness Of New York
city is so close 10 the constitutional limit that
