Costs $50, 900, 900 Yearly

1t is estimated that more than
10000 vehicles are constantly en-
gagged in trucking to piers and ter
ninals on the lower West Side of
Manhattan. The trucking costs for
Manhattan are estimated at 4 min
imum Of $50,00o,000 year, all of
which is ultimately distributed
among the consumers, while an eff
cient organization Of the. Port of
New York would reduce these truck
ing costs by two-thirds, or more than
$3S, ,250,000 year, a direct saving
Of that sum each year on the cost
of living for the population of New
York.
The cause Of this congestion that
adds so frightfully to the burden of
living in New York is lack of con-
centration and duplication Of serv-
ice, and the chief factor in tho dupli-
cation is the railroad situation at
the Port Of New York, and the rail
road situation is the perpetuation of
abuses founded in the historical
growth Of the port and It's railroad
antenn@.

OF New York, Of which eleven have
their land ends in New Jersey
Fifty per cent of the ocean freigh,
arriving at New York passes on
into the interior. Seventy-fve per
cent of the entire carrying business
Of New York is for domestic com.
merce and is chiefly carried by the
railroads. The thirteen railroads en-.
tering New York are all competing
Tor this business, and the building
up Of the railroad rate structure
with the differentials and the equal
izing Of rates has left the terminals
as the only point Of competition.
Hence, New York with its thirteen
competing railroads has become thir-
teen separate railroad ports instead
OF one unified port.
From Pier l to Pier 48 North
River, 47.9 per cent Of the water
front Is occupied by the railroads.
Each railroad maintains It's own
lighterage service and no road will
serve any other line with its lighters.
The principle involved Is that the
railroad will absorb wharfage, light
erage, switching and other terminal
charges in the through freight rate
OF tonnage carried over It's own lines
but cannot do so on freight trans
ported to or from the interior over
the lines Of rival company.
How 1t Works
The practical effect Is described
by Professor MacE1wee. who saws:
Now, consider ship lying at her
berth and receiving freight by light
ers. Her cargo arrives over all the
roads coming to New York. Each
railroad must send freight alongside
by lighter. Usually many Of the
railroads have only a carload or two
for a particular steamer Onlv a
few tons are loaded onto the deck
Of q lighter capable of carrying sew
sral hundreds tons. The entire
lighter and tug equipment for sew
sral hundred tons Is occupied in de-
'verlng as little as two or'three tons

40 TO CHURCH on SUNDAY
WHY GO TO CHURCH
ON SUNDAY?

he editor has asked me TO say IN rev WORDS
why we should so do. Within the compass alot-
ted me, can not hope to cover the subject and
therefore shall restrict my remarks to few lead
ing reasons
1. Life, real living, consists not in what have,
but in what am. To be factor in the uplift of
the world is the triumph of real living
To so walk and live that may by character,
example and word become a saving factor and
agency in life embodying and living the life that
uplfts should be my real purpose in life.
l am not to neglect opportunities or obliga-
tons, meeting all responsibilities in all honesty
with diligence, making the higher, the preoccupy-
ing purpose in life.
2. Were man a material organism, Sunday
would mean little to him but being soul, he
needs the atmosphere and training which will draw
out and develop the spiritual within him, that his
real growth may be in character and in that which
makes character
Since he is immortal and not temporal, his
purpose should be the attaining of such life and
character as would mould him and his living into
that nature and likeness which would make of
him personality and character like unto God and
therefore eternal
4. Sunday is the day of physical rest, when
having the time, he can go where he can find the
atmosphere, the lesson of life, the example pre-
sented, thepreceptS taught, which learned will
accomplish these in the life and the church is the
place so presenting truth.

Hudson is Best Known
For It's Super-Six Motor
Official Proofs Established It's Supremacy; Thus
Hudson Became the Largest Selling Fine Car


Few of the 10000 Super-Six owners have ever
tried the limit of Hudson speed or power. They
realize they have vast reservoir of ability that
is never called ON.
Yet no one mistakes it for mere idle surplus
simply because it is beyond his ordinary require
ments.
For that latent capacity is Hudsons greatest
value. 1t is the life of carr Because of it,
thousands are now getting the fullest satisfac-
ton and service from Super-Sxes nearly five
years old They know the durability it gives.
They know what it means in smooth operation.
Their cars have required neither costly replace
ments nor constant attention to minor disorders
Moreover it is good to know that you have
at instant call greater speed, acceleration and
hill-cimbng ability than any other stock car has
ever shown.
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1920-05-20
Note These Tests Made
to Prove It's Endurance

Think that Super-Six stock chassis set the
speed record at the rate Of 1928 miles per hour.
A stock Super-Six holds the acceeration record.
And Hudson made the fastest time for the famous
Pixies Peak hill climb The Super-Six principle
in speedway racing won more points than any
racing team ever took, in single year. And
think of Hudson's double sentimental run of
1000 miles in 10 days q hours No other car
ever equaed its time in either direction
Those tests speak for Hudson endurance-7the
real reason for its appeal to you today. There
can be no question regarding its beauty, its COM
peteness, it's fineness-ad advantages patent to any
observer.
You will best assure delivery when you
want it by speaking for your Hudson now.
