SEND APOLOGIES TO PROFESSOR

When some members OF The town

the famous Flagstaff astronomer Prof
Pcrciyal Lowell, - noted at the time
in these columns, and later copied
throughout, The Territory, for possession
of certain lands surrounding the Flag
stan observatory site, which it was
claimed Prof. Lowell bad unlnwfully
taken up, they evidently did not repre-.

Dear Sir.
Al meeting Of the board # trade

unanimous sentiment Of the meeting
that you be advised that the board of

as whole dcplorc the unwarranted
action Of some members Of the town
council in bringing suit through the
city attorney for possession # lands
purchased by you from the town.
We are firmly convinced that the al.
tempted action will have no legal
standing whatever and was ins'igatod
only as result Of conditions over
which we had no control AMI which are
likewise burdensomc and dcrogatory TO
the town and it- citizens IN other ac-
tions Of like import imposed upon
them.
The best thought Of the community.
it, tax payers and citizens. d, one of
appreciation of your citizenship with
as. % your uBsolfish efforts and gcncr.
Gus attitude on all matter, of public
benefit, and Of public pride in your

We believe the town will come into

rs and not place any undue Importance
On the matter.

WANT PORT RATES CUT
SAVE CITYS COMMERCE" "
Second Conference appeals to Po-
litical Parties for Hid.

second conference OF those interested in in
creasing the commerce OF the Port of New York
was held yesterday afternoon in the City Hall.
Numerous speeches made protesting against
the high port rates of the Port of New York and
series of resolutions offered by Alfred E Hen
schel president oe the conference, adopted
They direct attention ito the lack of proper
canal, rai' x=sa serminal facilities to handle the
commerce Of the port and state of New York, to
excessive port and terminal charges nfficting un-
due and unnecessary burdens" upon commerce,
diverting large portion of it other ports
The conference appeals TO the nominating con-
ventions of the various political parties that
only such persons shall be deemed worthy to fill
the offices of Governor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
Senator and AsseTnbyrnan and the adnninistra-
tive offices of the state who, in addition to other
high qualifications. shall be Jealous to bring
about a repeal of laws obstructing the COM
merciaI development Of the port"
There few at the conference. and this Cap
tain Campbell, retired shipping man and a for
Assemblyrnan. touched on in his speech
Now, don't believe in mutual admiration

got little coterie, all believing in the thing
That Is all very well, but want to reach the
outside. The port charges of the Port Of
New York and for lAirty years have been too
high. They will have to be reduced, If COM
merce is TO be conserved
Il believe the state should own the waterfront.
Only when it does will be enabled to utilize
should the sol. .eooeoo canal If is building.
And, by the way, despite what detractors have
said, it won't cost than that If we try to
have bill introduced 10 this effect, the cry will
be Home rule but it won't be that No; it will
rather be home ruin
IF these high charges not the exception
rather than the rule they would not be so at
tackled In Boston the ship not taxed to
death In Montreal. the port which is taking
commerce away from us, wharfage is absolutely
free"
VIII the city lose money the cutting down
of The rates?" asked Mr. Henschel
NO, 1t Will not. Look how the city wins out
on most OF its dock propositions. It built the
Chelsea piers. q cost OF s10,00o.00o and the
Cunard lines rent them for 100000 year apiece
and interest And at the end Of thirty years the
city owns dock shed and dock and has paid the
cost of its dock three times and with inter-
est on the payment The city could well afford TO
forego the interest, in view of the fact that its
traffic would be enhanced many, many times by
cheaper wharf and dock rates.
But viii these pier rentals be made up to the
city in the general increase in other lines Of prop
erty?'
"A hundred fold. We haven't. by so per cent
got enough dock facilities here. any way, and If
trade were normal the docks would be swamped
Let there be appropriated s10o.0oo.o0o if neces-
sary"
