LARGEST G0NVENI0N

gress if lS.sl

WASHINGTON Dec. lG.-From
whatever angle the ninth annual con
vention OF the. National Rivers and
Hafbors Congress, which. recently ter
minated its sessions In this city, is
viewed. there can be but one cohclus-
ion, that it was one OF the biggest CON
ventions the organization ever held
and that the resolutions adopted took
advanced positions on ithh question Of
municipal or state owned watcr ter
minals as one of the Correlated prob
lens growing out Of the Improvement

Upper Mississippi River Improvement
Association and a pioneer in the effort
to interest municipalities in the owner.

bills cFsatng departments of docks
for the purpose acquiring, controll-

These states, while pioneer in the
movement for larger Freedom to the
shipper and consumer, said Mr.. vii:
kinson, will undoubtedly be rein
forced by other commemorative in an
effort to have cities, on nayigablo
rivers, own their own docks for the
benefit of the entire shipping public.
In order to secure the full utiliza-
ton of the waterways. which we arc
asking the government 10 improve,
certain restrictions must be removed.
Improved channels are essentially
necessary; but their use largely de-
pends upon the power of the different
cities and, towns thereon, having a4e-
squate Facilities, to handle The com

These terminals must be construct
ed as to provide the nest economic
and convenient system possible for
the handling of commerce ana the
quick interchange Of reight between
the waterway and the railway, so as
to invite the patronage Of shippers.
In connection with the water ter
minal It Is absolutely essential that a
physical connection be had with belt
railways which in turn must have
connection with all rail lines, to The
end that speedy transportation be OBJ
tanned and the cost of freight hand

modern up-to-date mechanical ap-

This is freally the most important
question we have in connection with
the Improvement OF our rivers and

selves TO provide these instrumental-
tiles Of commerce. The very first
thing to be done is to secure to the
city the water frontage upon which
to construct the terminals. For that
which Is to be done is for all time
and not ephermeral. And it is abso-
lutely essential that the city should
own, control and operate its port
terminals with All its functions Tor
the public benefit -.
Private ownership OF terminals is
indefensible. ii the general govern
ment thinks well enough of project
to improve river for all the people,
then, 10 my mind, the city on the river
should think enough of that improv
ment TO see to. 1T that terminals are
provided for the boats using the river.
: Port terminals are just as neces.
nary to the river as stations arc to
the railroads. Each would be useless
without the other Port terminals
such as described, administered BY
competent boards, wouldebe acquired
and ultimately paid for, without any
taxation on the part OF the pulls.
And the physical layout CT port
terminal should be left 10 co1npe-
tent engineering authority who has
made an exhaustive study of the ques-
ton.
The, greatest thing desirable is
that We have a unified system OF
transportation and that both. rail-
and, river be; considered friends ing
