JAMES HERMAN
On the Port Of PhlIadelp1la

THE port of Philadelphia IS developing
l. rapidly and holding Its position as the
second port of the United States, according
TO lanes 7. Herman. secretary of the Mari
time Exchange.
AT the present tmn Philadelphia IS well
equipped for the maritime business which
enters our port, says Mr.. Herman. Our
facilities are adequate. and with the con
struction Of the municipal piers we look for
q greater measure of business.
81 have been connected with the Maritime
Exchange for twenty nine years, and ! do
not think our development hNs been ex-
cccdcd by any other port in the country.
OF course, the shipping business, like every
other returns IN volume as effort TO procure
business is expended.
Is Good Public Investment
eth" more regard in which the people
generally hold the porr has its reflection In
the business which comes to the port. | am
an optimist and booster for the port. and for
tunntrly, too. members sent to Congress by
Philadelphia districts have been boosters.
The result is that year after year we are
assured Of able champions where boosting
counts.
con the question of drydocks. to which
reference j. sometimes made. | believe they
are csscntnl SO far as getting business after
a ship enters the port. but / do not believe
they influence impOrtatons. That is, for
cign shippers who have commerce with
Philadelphia are not affected by the fact
that certain types Of drydocks are or are not
installed here. The dryGockS Mt Cramps. nt
Chester and the smallct repair yards have
established good regulations and PhilNdcl-
phiu is not likely to suffer in that regard.

proud Of Take the instance of the Edward
Iuckcnbach. which hn> draft forward,

draft aft Of thirty one feet six inches. On
March %. 1920 it made n successful entry
and was docIed. and also mad" n satisfactory
