The total available water frontage,
exclusive of canals. is about eighteen
miles. but only about two miles of the
water frontage are devoted to COM
merce. About eight miles are set apart
for parks and for the purposes of the
United States. Along the Eastern
branch only the lower two miles be-
tween the arsenal point and the Penn
sylvania Avenue bridge are devoted to
commerce. the south bank being en-
tirely undeveloped and the north bank
being only partially developed. The
federal government owns practically
all the frontage on the south bank and
much of the frontage on the north
bank. though the title to the frontage
on the northb ank has been a matter of
dispute for years

For an average year the water-oorne
commerce at Washington Is something
above one million tons, and the value
of this tonnage ranges from S30,O0O,-
900 to 35O090O0. The principal value
of the commerce on the Potomac front
of washington is in general merchan
disc, that being something like Sl0,-
100000 or about three-quarters OF the
total for that channel. The great pro-
portion of the value carried on the
Eastern branch consists of naval ord
nance and supplies shipped in govern
ment vessels between the navy yard
and the naval powder factory, and the
ordnance proving ground at Indian
Head. in Charles county, Maryland.
The powder factory Is twenty-ntne
miles from the navy yard and the
landing at the Indian Head proving
grounds is twentyfour miles down
stream.
In the matter of tonnage on the Po-
tomac and the Eastern branch fronts.
the principal commodities are sand.
gravel stone, coal, brick and brick
clay. AS a general rule the sand,
gravel, stone and coal are handled at
the wharves along the Georgetown
channel. while the merchandise, fish.
oysters and lumber pass over the
wharves along the Washington chan
mel.
The administration of the port of
Washington is under the District Com
nissioners the administrative author
ity being exercised through a harbor-
committee designated by the Commls-
soners and consisting of the chlef
clerk of the engineer department, the
engineer of bridges and the harbor-
master who is a lieutenant in the po-
lice department..
This harbor committee has exclu-
sive charge and control of all the wa
ter front property and terminals owned
by the United States the District
of Columbia, eXcent certain portions
which are placed under the immediate
Jurisdiction of the chief of engineers.
This harbor committee has power to
make rules and regulations in regard
TO the building and repair OF WharVes,
the rental and the rate of wharfage.
and the power to make regulations ior
all water terminals under private
ownership. Under the present fiscal order
and arrangements all appropriations for
the Improvement and maintenance of the
harbor are made by Congress, one-half
being taken from the general reVe-
nues of the District of Columbia ana
one-half from the funds of the United
states and all the revenues from the
tease of waterfront property. dockaSe,
Wharfage, etc, are paid into the treas
ury of the United States. one-half be-
Ing credited to the District of Column

der Mr.. Jacobs supervision. 1t was at
a meeting of a group of artists at Mr..
Jacobs studio last November that the
project of a club based upon the lines
of the new organization was discussed
and plans made. AT about the same
time another group of artists, headed by
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. Morris Leisenring, was
discussing the same idea. 1t was
largely through the efforts of Mr. ia
cobS and Mr.. Leisenring that the two
groups agreed to merge their organiza-

whose name implies its object, and
whose expectation is to create a center
for artists and art lovers which will
be worthy its name as a national or
ganization and its place in the capital.
The Arts Club was organized last
May. and so effective has been the
work of it's officers that there is al
ready membership of more than 400.
The home. which will be formally opened
Tuesday evening. stands ready, COM
pleteIy fitted an,l furnished. to receive
its occupants.
The club was formed to bring into
association those devoted to painting,
sculpture, architecture music. litera-
ture and the drama: to promote CO.
operation and to further interest in
these arts in the capital. There is no
other club of quite the same scope in
the country. the Cercle des Arts, in
Paris. most nearly serving a proto-
type.
1t is the intention of its founders to
make the club national rather than
a local organization: to stimulate in
terest in and to encourage art by hold
ing exhibitions. and by bringing to
Washington the best work in the coun-
try from time to time; to have place
where visiting artists may visit: place
where local artists may meet and be-
come acquainted, a place where politics
may be completely eliminated and
where men and women may work for
and with one another.
The club is composed of men and
women. divided into active. honorary
sustaining. life and nonresident mem
berS. Active members are those en-
gagged in the arts or appreciatively in
terested in the arts, and are classfhed
as artist and lay members.
The officers of the club are, upon the
mems board. H. X. Bush-Brown, presi-
lent; Michael JACOBS. vice president:
