HUBERT FINDS CITY
CHARTER HANDICAP
Says Provisions Must Be
Scropped to Improve Port.

The annual report of Murray Hubert,
Commissioner OF Docks, issued yesterday
upon the fiftieth anniversary of the es-
tablshment of the department. declared
that his administration has done more
to improve the citys harbor facilities
than all the other administrations In the
history OF the department put together.
He added. however. that he hadn't got
along so awfully well at that, since IAN
antiquated charter has so bound the
hands of the Dock Commissioner that
"only through extraordinary efforts has
the city been able to keep pace with
some of the modernizing dock needs"
Wherefore, he comes TO the conclusions:
"If we are TO modernize the port, It Is
not merely necessary to adopt new plan
for longer and wider piers with wider
intervening slips and rail facilities, and
supporting warehouses more convent
emily located, and proper mechanical ap-
pllances and labor aiding devices. but
the legal mechanism must be scrapped
and modern provisions substituted in
the city charter TO afford greater flexi-
billty in dealing with present day as
well as future problems"
The Commissioner reviewed the prog
ress In construction made by his de-
partment and his plans for relieving the
West Side situation by running tho New
York Central tracks down the east side
OF Manhattan, the projected Jamaica
Bay. Staten Island and other improve
ments
Reciting the fight OF New Jersey
against the extension of p!erheds and
other improvements along the New York
side of the Hudson River. Mr. Hubert
warns:
This opposition. at a time when an
effort Is being made 10 effective cooper
alton between the two States through the
creation OF a unified port district. does
not augur for port auitI."

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c.. July 2.
Disabled service men soon may have
some OF the Government red tape re-
moved in order to facilitate examina-
tions to determine their disability status.
and thereby insure prompt payment or
sums Justly due to them under the law.
Senator Smoot of Utah said tonight
that hearings will begin Tuesday before
the Senate Finance Committee on his
bill to decentralize control now exercised
by medical examining boards. senator
Smoots bill is designed to broaden the
scope of examinations, and so simpniy
the rules governing the tests that serv-
ice men can have their disability claims
passed upon at or near their homes by
competent medical authorities who may
qualify.
Hearings on the Smoot bill probably
will be finished in a day or two and the
Senator Is confident the measure will be
reported favorably to the Senate by
Friday He expects prompt and favor
able action in the Senate.
There Is no serious opposition to the
measure, and Senators generally are
supporting it. Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives have been besieged by con-
stituents to apply a corrective with
respect to the present cumbersome rules
and to eliminate the almost endless de-
lays suffered by veterans of the great
war in having their claims finally passed
upon.
A great deal of the delay for which
the Government is criticised In deter
mining the status of disabled veterans is
largely the result of the faulty methods
now in force regulating examinations
by medical boards. When Senator
Shoots bill becomes law veterans will
be spared the trouble and expense in
Cured now in long distance travel to
inaccessible locations where medical
boards may be sitting.
