SMITH TALKS
Of MUNICIPAL
COOPERATION
UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER
OF CORPORATIONS SAYS THAT
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
SHOULD REQUIRE THE CO.
OPERATION or MUNIClPALI-
TIES.

Secretary Henderson, of the Pen
sacola Commercial Association, calls
attention to the following remarks Of
Herbert Knox Smith. United States
commissioner of corporations, on the
subject of municipal docks, in which
question the CITY of Penaacola is very
much interested az present.
The remarks of Mr.. Smith are as
follows:
THE government has made enorm-
Gus expenditures on channels, but
these expenditures in many cases are
largely neutralized by the adverse ac-
ton or non-action of the local au-
thorities on the terminal question.
There has been little cooperation
by localities in channel work, but the
same amount of effort and money ap-
piled by the localities to terminals
would be ten times as effective. As
my personal opinion. therefore, I am
going to lay down a proposition which
believe should be applied to this en-
tire subject. / believe that the gov
eminent should attach to the general
run of its waterway projects a ter
nninal condition-that the government
before it enters upon the construction
of a channel, should, as a general rule
require that the localities along that
channel provide adequate terminals
thereon to keep them permanently
open for the general benefit of the
users of the channel. The local au-
thorities can do this. They are the
only ones that can effectively do 1t
and such requirement would not only
result in providing terminals, but
would also go far to prevent the pre-
sentation of worthless and visionary
schemes of waterway improvement.
have already said that l intended to
suggest method of discouraging the
presentation of schemes which merely
involved an expenditure of federal
money without results. This is the
method. II the locality is required tc
stake it's own money upon such ter
minaI improvements, it is not going to
urge upon congress channel work OF
such futile character as to mean the
loss of money so invested If a locality
wants a channel for any proper pur-
pose, it wants it for traffic. A stretch
of water has no traffic value unless
you can get freight on to or off from
it at a reasonable rate, and for this
reasonable business men, you would
not invest your money in a railway
which began and ended with neither
stations, yards or terminal equipment
But such an investment would be M
| more absurd and no more ruinous thar
| to construct a waterway channe
| without providing for adequate publii
| terminals"
