GOVERNMENT WANTS i 81.
PUBLIC OWNED DOCK
llay Withhold Appropriations Fos
Harbor Improvement Whore "
z.. There Is No Public Ter rminals.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by the Village council and the
Commercial Club and is given serious
Econside deration by both these bodies.
tt will be seen by this letter that by
act Of Congress appropriations can
be withheld for Government improve
ments in harbors where no public
owned dock exists. This shows the
Importance the Government places
on q dublic= dock. / .'%-~-.@<
II am directed by. the Chief of
Engineers, U. S. Army, to invite your
attention to part of Section 1 of the
River: and Harbor Act approved
March 2, 1919, which refers to water
terminals. This law, which provides
that at least one publicly-owned ter
minal should exist in every harbor
under Improvement by the United
States, undoubtedly will have a
strong bearing on the adoption of all
projects for future river and harbor
work:
ut is hereby declared to be the
policy of the Congress that water
terminals are essential at all cities
and towns located upon harbors or
navigable waterways and that at
least one public terminal should ex-
list, constructed, owned, and regu-
lated by the municipality, or other
public agency of the State and open
to the use Of all on equal terms, and
with the view Of carrying out this
policy to the fullest possible extent
the Secretary of War is hereby
vested with the discretion to with
hold, unless the public interests
would seriously suffer by delay, mon
les appropriated in this Act for new
projects adopted herein, or for the
further Improvement of existing pro-
jects, if in his opinion, no water ter
nninals exist adequate for the traffic
and open to- all on equal terms, or
unless satisfactory assurances are re-
ceived that local or other interests
Ewill provide SUCH adequate terminal
or terminals. The Secretary of War
through the Chief of Engineers, shall
give full publicity, as far as may be
practicable, to this provision.

Colonel, Engineers.

URGE S44O BONUS
.FOR2,OOO TEACHERS

Relief OF the lower paid teachers in
the public schools Of Washington is
provided for in an amendment which
has been proposed to the District bill
by Senator PenrOse.
1t provides for an increase in pay
OF 5000 a year for teachers between
the $3.50 and $1,000 grades. This in
crease is additional TO the $40 bonus
provided BY the legislative bill.
The Penrose amendment would
beneht 99T teachers who receive $3.50.
49S who receive $500. 136 who receive
$3.50, and 334 who receive 81 900. In
other words, it would benefit about
1000 teachers.
Its effect. taken in connection with
the increase allowed in the legisla-
tive bill, would be TO add $40 a year
TO the basic pay OF these teachers.
