Interstate Port
Board Planned to
Control Harbor
New York and New Jersey
Commission Proposes a
Treaty for Cooperation
on All Improvements

Plans TO create an interstate port
authority, with absolute control of To-
cal harbor waters. are contained in all
amendatory treaty suggested yesterday
by the New York-New Jersey Harbor
Development Commission.
The proposed treaty, which pledges
each state to cooperate in future plan
ming and developing of the Port of New
York and terminal facilities, adds a
modern rider to an ancient understand
ing that dates from 1884. Physical and
economic features of port improvement
are not recommended in the tentative
draft.
Six Commissioners Proposed
thority" would comprise six commits
sioners, three from each state. These
commissioners would have authority to
purchase, acquire, construct, lease and
operate any terminal or transportation
facility, to establish rates of toll, and
to borrow and find security for money
expended" A statement issued by the
commission said:
"The treaty is based on the as
sumption that the commission will
conclude from its study that compre-
must come through rne cooperation of
the two states.
'sThe legal questions involved are un-
like those of any other port The port
lies in two states, each an independent
sovereignty. The City Of New York
owns, in its own right, valuable dock
property for which it has issued bonds
amounting to $122,000,00O.
Borrowing Capacity Limited
"By the Constitution Of the state the
city is forbidden to borrow more than
10 per cent of the assessed value of
rea lestate within the city limits. The
borrowing capacity of New Jersey is
also limited.
"The cities of Northern New Jersey,
however, commercially and industrial
ly, are within the metropolitan district
This was the basis for the decision by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the New York Harbor case. These
legal questions have been carefully con-
sidered before presenting the proposed
treaty for public discussion"
The Harbor Commission comprises
William R. Wilcox, chairman; George
W. Goethals and B. F. Cresson, con-
sulting engineers; William Leary, sec
retary; j. Spencer Smith, vice-chair-
man; Eugene, H. Outerbridge, Arthur
Curtss Games, De Witt Van Buskirk
and Frank R. Ford.
The Chamber of Commerce has called
special meeting for December 19 to
consider the proposed treaty.
