 Shipping Center

Washington. D. C., Sept B. Special to The Times) .-Congress- man Augustine Lonergar of the First District will be successful in having New London named as a port of de- parture for shipping Board vessels if the Chamber of Commerce of New London and others III the Eastern section of the State will cooperate to the extent Of securing cargo for the ships.
 Last month the Rivers. Har- bors, and Bridges Committee of the State of Connecticut requested aIr. Lonergan to interest himself in the project and he has had several conferences with shipping Board of rlCials in Washington.
 Donald Scott, assistant to the vice chairman of the Board recently transmitted to the Congressman a rc- port to him from W. r. Taylor who was named by the shipping Board 10 investigate personally.
 The report on the physical fa- CilitCs Of New London are very ia vorable as the piers were considered fine and harbor facilities in excellent condition.
 The proper step now for New Lon don and others interested ln the scheme is To develop cargo oherin g for the port The complete report of Mir. Taylor to the Shipping Board follows:
 investigation of port facilities on behalf of the Division Of Operations is conducted by c. A. Hynes. as to physical facilities, collaborating with II. Y. Saint as to traffic conditions. Availability of cargo, present or future, being invesugated on behalf of the Division of Operations, b. II.
 '. Saint above, and also by cur As sistart Directors or District Agents in charge of their respective terri tories.
 "Our District Agent at Boston has personally investigated conditions at the Port of New London and reports favogably in regard 10 physical facili- ties, there being piers and all re- auired harbor facilities, but there is no cargo actually offering at the present time and no shipping con ccrns through whom traffic can be developed and Shipping Board steam CTS properly operated at New Lon don
 .'In fact, 1t is the absence of ship ring personnel at New London which is their principal handicap and this will have to be overcome before the possibilities of Shipping Board ton rage. In order to assist in this re- spect, we have brought the situation to the attention of some of our op- orators with a view to interesting them in establishing headquarters or representation at New London. Our disposition would be, and we are prepared to allocate tonnage for l docking at New London when car 20 has been developed and operators arc available for proper handling | of our steamers at that port" 1 Congressman Lonergan has been making a study of the case and he is prepared to exert all his influence al | Washington to have the port named | ae soon as tho manufacturing firms | in Connecticut. especially in the East ern part of the state. can interest l their associates in shipping cargo l through New London instead of to . other ports.
