| ont and out political business Office for
| the meeting with constituents is al
most an innovation. This is the rea-
son the 49,, OOO. 900 campaign takes on
a serious significance.
DO you know that the East River
is being improved under n project
adopted in 1868 and that the improve
ment. a trife more thar half com
pleted. is already of obsolete benefit? ~
Mr.. Hubert in asking the question
showed himself brimful Of desire to
make the situation explicitly clear.
He talked with the precision "f "a
comptometer.
Think Of a body of water OF tn"
commercial magnitude or the las
River improved under a ~forty-seveu
year old plan, so that the greatest
channel depth is but 70 rect, with tho
maximum drauSh or freight carriers
for years past fully 80 feet. And this
alleged improvement Is less than 90
per cent. completed. II Will take until
1910 to finish 1t. according TO the speed
OF the work IA proportloned to the
speed " Appropriation You can

"Furthermore. DO You KNOW ulat
since the Administration or GEORGE
Washington there has been less money
expended on tho Port of New York III
total than has beer appropriated for
third and fourth rate waterway prof.
ects at comparatively inconsequential
points? Think of it-from h time OF
George Washington only $4,000, 600
expended on the Port of New York
In the same time the Government has
appropriated in all sos 900, 900 for the
improvement Of national waterways
exclusive of the great sum spent for
the Panama ana
The Port Of New York has received
less han 3 per cent. in more II l26
years. And what has New York paid
toward the sos, 600. 900 that has here
fitted other places? All you need &c
a., il TO make A comparison Of the
, population Of New York with other
, sections benefited and you will see
: that pro rata the $50, 900 900 receives
4 bv New York in 1876 years for its porI
. Is hut a drop in the bucket OF what il
has contributed toward the other 9,
nor cent. Of the S7o5, 900 900.
