from Albany by the commission that
both branches of the New York state
legislature VIII pass the bill. thus
putting in force one of the greatest

For some time n fight was on In

innate OF New York City wanted to
keen control of the harb0r and not
let the state take its power away.
However. as the development of the
port of New York and New Jersey is
a state proposition. it is understood
that New York City will have no
more to say in the matter than Perth
Amboy.
Following the passing of the bill
by both the New York and New Jer-
sey state legislatures giving the COM
mission authority to enter i'm a new
treaty for the development of he
port included in the map. the first
step will be to prepare a comprehen-
sive plan for the development of the

port authority with the approval or
the municipality or municipalities
directly affected by such modifca-
tions.

Building Character.

It's folly to build with neutral ma
terials. Character demands touch
with God and cooperation with ones
fellows. There may be some with de-
sire to be considered clever who dare
to assume positions that throw them
into the limellght and the ridiculous.
They may conjurs up ~cute-sounding
phrases trimmed to capture Itching
ears without giving a thought to what
real meaE.ag they may convey. It's
dangerous to vent wholesale disaster
upon those Of other faiths. II men
be given to folly it's your part to lead
them to the truth.-Grft.
