 POSSIBILITIES
So Declares English Coal
 Baron, Who Advocates Deepening of HarbOr.

Increase the depth of your harbor here three or four feet and there is no limit to your possibilities as an inn porting and exporting center" Sir David R. Lewellyn, baTOnet of Car diff, Wales, millionaire coal kLug auC active head of D. k. LeweIIyu, Ner- Tjtt Sz Price Ltd. one Of the largest Foal COllIeries of the British Empire said yesterday, following an iuspec- Lion of the karm Terminal Coal plant and BridgepOrt's harbOr-
 Sir David pronounced Bridgeport to be potentially the greatest distri- buting port he has found in New Eng land He declared that BridgepOTr was vastly better situated than New York for handling big COnsigumeuts of coal and said that his company could bring coal to Bridgeport S cheaper than to New York because if harbOr facilities were right the coal could be taken direct from the lighters and would not have 10 be uuIOaded from lighters to barges as is done in New ' oTk.
 Sir David stopped off in Bridgeport while on his way from Montreal to New York. He was accompanied in his tour of inspection of the karn Terminal plant and the uarbOr by II H. Merritt, director in his company. former Senator Archibald AIc<eII. IT,, and ROderick C. NIcN-eiI. president of the Karm Terminal
 Continuing his discussion of greater. harbor facilities for Bridgeport SJr David said:
 New York is a great exp0rf5r7e center, but il is sadly equipped for handling import trade. particularly such imports as coal If Bridgeport harbOr were just little deeper. this would be ideal place for a coal inn porting center Even as it is at pres ent, coal can be brought to the lower harbors here in oceau-eoiug boats of a.500 to 5000 tons, and enough of f- unlOaded on lighters to reduced tha n ant which should permit the boats. with the biggest part of their cargo still in the holds, to come up alongside your docks to be unloaded.'
 Admircs Karm Plant
 Sir David was enthusiastic about the facilities at the karm Terminal Co. for handling coal I've only seen two other plants in America which come any where near an preaching the one in Bridgeport for uD-to-date Improvements he said. One of these was at -.,JutreaI the other at Quebec. The one in Bridge port is really the finest I've seen any place on this side of the Atlantic particularly from the standpoint of modern mechanical equipment Td like to pick il up bodily and lay it down on the coast of France or Italy Where We have d number of coal handIing depots, but none to compare with this one.''
 Sir David said coal could be brought here from Wales at half the rate it was sent from CardinF 10 Lon don, and $1.65 cents a lon less than anthracite coal could he shipped here rom Pennsylvania hard coal mines
