Charles Evans Fowler Presents
Question to Tidewater Congress.
Detroit, Mich, July 23.--Charles
Evans Fowler. Of New York, repre-
senting the American Society Of Civil
Engineers, told the Tidewater Con-
gress here tonight that construction
OF Great Lakes st. Lauwrence-Wat-
er-way was certain to be seriously un-
dertaken. He declared that upward OF
so 900, 900 persons on the North AM
erican continent who heretofore had
regarded ocean commerce as Of little
personal concern, would find their
lives linked with the sea-.
With completion of the proposed
waterway Toronto, Buffalo. Cleve-
land, Toledo, Detroit, Windsor, Chi
cago, Milwaukee. Duluth and other
lake cities will become ocean ports
and the vast areas of their hinter-
land will be territory from which to
draw directly for ocean commerce.
Mr.. Fowler said.
The speaker emphasized the need
Of studying shipping and port condi-
tions on the part Of all those affected
and reviewed at length development
Of world ports during recent years,
more especially during and since the
war.
Speaking Of inland ports, he said:
Great Lakes cities are well sit-
uated to handle an immense volume
OF ocean commerce in perhaps the
most economical manner of any re-
gion in the world. The chief reason
for this is the fact that shipping men
have been thoroughly schooled in
the handling of immense tonnage OF
ore cargoes, as we'll as large amounts
Of coal, wheat and lumber.
"The Great Lakes cities Of Buff
falo, Cleveland. Chicago, Detroit, Toll
edo, Milwaukee and Duluth have
planned extensive ship terminals. and
much OF the construction has been
completed. These cities and great
number Of others are In Aposition
to have extentive ocean terminals
completed and ready for operation at
the opening of the ship canal for
ocean business"
Mr.. Fowler said the Montreal Har-
Dor commission had stated plainly
the reason for need Of port develop
ment and that such development
should be carried out by any city de-
string to become a factor in hand
ling waterS commerce.
''The ports that are doing the big
gest business, and doing 1t most ef-
ficiently, are those that have kept
their facilities ahead Of actual re-
quirements," he said.
The speaker urged installation OF
labor saving cargo handling ma
chinery at all lake ports, stating port
officials on inland waters could well
profit by the mistake Of those on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts in this
respect.
