General WILLIAM NJ. BLACK, who Is
quitting New York to take up his
new duties In Washington as chief of
the army engineers. has had charge
of many important port improvements
that have been made here in recent
years. and has performed his SER
vices with the technical skill and
ability that are accepted rs q matter
Of course from men Of his training
and profession. Had he merely done
his work well. General BLACK would
have sustained the reputation OF his
corps. and earned the city's thanks;
but he has done more than that.
He has contributed greatly to the
efforts made lately for the adoption
of a comprehensive plan of port de-
velopment. under which the United
States, the State, and the city shall
cooperate To provide facilities for fu-
lure growth. For years the CONNER
cial community was hampered by lack
of adequate port works, and there
was little apparent effort to coordi.
nate the activities of the three gov
ernments that have authority in and
about the harbor. As Colonel of En-
%gineers, General BLACK saw beyond
the immediate tasks that were rs
signed to him. and lnbored for an
intelligent understanding that would
reduce to order the chaotic conditions
which so long existed. The progress
that has been made is testimony To
the success Of his %endeavOrs.
General BLACK takes with him to
Washington something more than an
increased reputation ns an engineer;
he has added to his impedimenta the
gratitude Of the city.

bound to say that, barring the knowl.
edge Of the actual occurrence, the
author would make the tale i'm
mensely more complicated than the
truthful reporter Is able to do.
The writer Of fiction has the advan-

~visualizes his characters, and then
asks himself: "what would these
people do in relation to each other?"
Or perhaps he takes the occurrence
