legislation Condemned as
Attempt to Commit Fur
ture Officials to Scheme

The Board of Estimate yesterday
made public the brief on which it will
base its argument in opposition to the
bills now pending before the Legis-
lsture designed to establish new
"port authority" or commission. based
on the so-called port treaty between
New York and New Jersey, for the
future development of the Port of New
York. The members of the board will
attend the public hearing on the bills
in Albany on Tuesday and present the
brief.
The board contends that the joint
commission of the two states appoint
ed in 1917 to work out and recommend
q comprehensive plan for port devel-
opment has not performed this duty,
and now "seeks the creation of a new
commission with unlimited powers that
shall hereafter determine such port
policy and the manner and time in
which it may be carried out, in whole
or in part, according to its unre-
strained discretion"
The brief says the so-called "treaty'
between the two states "is merely an
attempt to finance private enterprises
with public funds and to escape con-
stitutional limitations upon public
debt"
"The contemplated use of valuable
and improved water front property of

brief continues, "the ingenious avoid

Loopholes in Financing

such mortgages and the total loss OF
such property to the City Of New York
unless the city is prepared upon the
foreclosure sale to bid the face amount
OF principal and accrued interest upon
the bonds secured by such mortgages

bonds or other securities that it may

and that such sums may be expended
IN any manner that the port authorit,
sees fit. This city is also left without
effective representation in the port

The board contends it is bad policy
to establish any more irresponsible
commissions" at this time. as it is
directly contrary to the "admittee
necessity Of the reconstruction of state

The assertion that the creation O.

to the brief.

SEATTLE, Oct., 2S- Initial act ivities of a large operating company in mining gold in the Interior of Alas ka is reported by Dr. J. s. Martin of the U. s. Geological Survey, who arrived in Seattle from the territory enroute tc Washington, D. C., to mako $; report on the activities in the Kus- kGkwim Eis!rict in South Central AL aska. Although Dr. Martin would not give the result of his findings it is known that he is impressed with thu tremendous possibilities as the result of the preliminary work being done by the Treadwell Company on claims in this district.
 While the Treadwell Company has been going ahead quietly and rushing supplies from Seattle in its endeavo. to hasten the day when it will know the extent of the ore bodies and their richness there has been no effort made to let the world know of what is go- ing on in that section, and Dr. Martin
 t the Alaska Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce that if the de velopment work confirms the hopes and beliefs of the Treadwell Company it will mark the beginning of new and wonderfully productive gold area. The property is on the left bank of the Kuskokwim.
