FOR A GREAT GRAIN PORT
New Jersey Harbor Commission
Reports on Plans.

Trenton. n. j.. Oct. THE New Jersey
Harbor Commission to-day submitted It's
third preliminary report TO Governor
Fielder. who will transmit 1t TO President
Wilson. The report contains the plan for
suggested developments on the Jersey
fats in upper New York Bay.
The plan. in general. calls for filing in
two necks Of land between Greenville
and Constable Point, each 800 feet WIDE
and 500 feet long, the outshore end be-
ing at the present bulkhead line. The en-
gineers contemplate that the pierhead line
shall be drawn in until IT is parallel TO
and 1000 feet outshore OF the present
bulkhead line. and that the government
will dredge a channel 100 feet wide and
g feet deep along this projected pierhead
line
On these necks OF land provision Is
made for the wharfage of all classes OF
ships Facilities are contemplated for tho
direct loading Of grain into the holds u
ships from elevators TO be located on
this land and for supplying ships with
bunker coal, thus saving one handling
Provision also is made for classification
yards and buildings for railroad freight.
The report of B. F. Cresson, 1r.' engi-
neer of the commission. commenting on
the plan. says:
The port authorities in Philadelphia
and in other neighboring seaports are
fully alive 10 the fact that New 1orh
has been dilatory, 10 say the least III
caring and providing for its present ano
future commerce 1t would be far easier
for the established lines Of trade In Ne"
York Harbor to transfer their terminals
70 the New Jersey section Of New 1orH
Harbor than 10 transfer them to othe'
nelghboring ports and it would be to the
advantage OF New York, as well as OF
New Jersey. TO provide additional facih-
ties for commerce in the New Jersey sec
tion OF the harbor.

CRITICISES RATE RULING
Northern Pacific's Report Says
Question Is Open.

In the report. made public yesterday. Of
the Northern Pacific Railway for the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1918. reference
IS made TO the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the Minnesota
rate cases in the following criticism:
The judgments OF the court did not
finally dispose OF the right OF the COM
panies to ltigate the question of the
validity OF the state rates. but expressly
reserved 10 the companies the right 10
bring fresh suits and make additional
proofs upon the subject in their discre-
ton. While technically the large com
panies were losers. the clear recognition
by the courts OF the right OF the owners
of railways will undoubtedly have vail
liable influence in lettering future action
by public authorities reducing the rev.
enues OF such properties below what
would be fair and reasonable return
upon their valuation"
The report also refers TO the physlcal
valuation of railroad properties under
taken by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and expresses the belief that II
will prove OF great value to the carriers,
as IL will for the first time definitely es-
tablish the chief basis for determining
what would be fair return on the
property.

changes as compared with the previous
