WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-The
Edge-Ansorge resolution granting
consent of congress to the creation
of the Port of New York District
and establishment of the Port of
New York Authority for compre-
hcnsive development of the Port of
New York was passed by the House

congress gives it's consent to the
treaty entered into by the states of
New York and New Jersey in April
80, 1921, for development OF the
port.
Senator Walter Edge, of New Jer-
sey INTRODUCED the resolution in the
senate and Representative Ansorge
OF Brooklyn lin the House
The tentative plans for develop
ment of the port of New York under
the treaty calls for construction of
a system of terminal stations for
distribution and collection of Ter-
chandise and food products, the de-
velopment of belt line railway
system over the waterfront in New
Jersey and New York, construction

or modification of bridges obstruct-

access to every part of the ports
water front, construction of addi-
tional terminals for the New York
barge canal, wider installation of
freight handling machinery, cstab-
lishment of freight ports and relief
from oppressive and congested ter
minal conditions.
The creation of the single port
authority is considered by many to
be the greatest step ever taken to-
wards the intelligent development
of the Port of New York and the
surrounding cities and towns in New
Jersey. 1t combines the interest
of The two states. in general. and
of forty municipalities surrounding
the port, in particular, and smoth
ers the divergent views of many of
them that have heretofore been
working at cross purposes. Many
believe this is the step needed to
bring about better terminal and
transportation facilities in the ter
ritory contiguous to New York
harbor which have heretofore been
admittedly grossly inadequate.

DECIDE POLICY
Minority in House Considers
New Tax Bill to be Pre-
. sented to Congress

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16:-The
attitude of the Democratic minority
of the House toward the adminlstra-
tons tax revision bill introduced
late yesterday was to be determined
late today at party caucus. Deci-
sion to have the Democrats on the
ways and means committee file a
minority report on the measure was
forecast by some leaders.
Meantime the committee, with the
Democratic members present, was to
pass on the bill formally, as amend
ed, as a result of the action today of
the Republican conference which
voted, 90 to 81, to postpone repeal
of the excess profits tax and higher
income surtax rate until January l.
and to put off until the same date
the proposed increase in the corpor-
alton income tax.
After the conference action and
before Chairman Fordney presented
the bill in the House majority men,
berS of the ways and means commit
tee decided to reduce the amount of
the corporation income tax increase
from to ~ per cent, the figure
originally agreed upon at the White
House tax conference, and to cut in
half the proposed manufacturers tax
of IL cents a gallon on cereal bever-
ages.
The changes made in the original
committee draft were estimated by
some Republicans to increase by
5000, 100000 the $3.000,000.000 yield
which it had been figured with the
turn of the bill, as drafted by the
majority committeeman.
reduction of $3.50, 100000 in the
annual tax bill of the nation will re-
suit from the changes in the 1918
act, embodied in the new bill, Chair
man Fordney announced today.
