recting public attention to the many needed
improvements I'm our harbor and terminal
facilities.
For a time It seemed that the greatest
port In the world would deny adequate and
safe docking accommodations TO the I'M
mense new vessels which are expected mere
in the early summer. Fortunately. a tenn
porary solution OF the matter has been
reached In the revocable permission granted
by the Secretary OF War to lengthen the
Chelsea piers. While this question orly IN
volved the proper handling and docking OF
such large vessels as the Olympic and the
Titanic. there are still far more important
problems TO be solved in the economic
handling OF New York's ever increasing
commerce.
In passing. II may he interesting to re-
view briefly some of the arguments adj
yanced both for and against the applica-
tion for increasing the length of the Chei-
sea piers. and TO make some comparisons
oe the harbor of New York and few of the
leading ports of Europe.
The new vessels above mentioned are so5
