AVIATION MUST BE OF HIGHEST ORDER
Coolidge Wants no Falling of in
 Aerial Defense

Washington, Dec. Emphasis is laid by President Coolidge on the i'm portance "of providing for continued development of military and naval aviation if America is to keep abreast of other nations" in a special com munication to congress today trans hitting the annual report of the national advisory committee for aeronautics. The president said he concurred in the committees recom- mendations for continued scientific re- search work for aviation and estab. l lishment of bureau of civil aeronau- tics in the department of commerce. The committees report. signed by Joseph s. Ames chief of the eXecu- tive committee, thus sums up its recommendation as to army and navy air developments.
 Must Not Fall Behind
 Whatever may be the demands Of economy. serious consideration must be given to the increasing relative inn portance of aircraft in warfare and funds appropriated to equip and main-
 
 army and navy. Progress in aero rautics is being made at so rapid a rate that the only way to keep abreast of other nations is actually to keep abreast, year by year. never falling behind"
 The report said there had been a gratifying increase in knowledge of the sceince of aeronautics" during the last year, and that while the military air services were not so large as those of other powers, i've are gradu- ally forging ahead of other nations in our knowledge of the scientific prin- ciples underlying the design and con- structoni of aircraft"
 A plea for continuation of this re- search work as the best insurance obtainable to prevent waste of funds in construction programs was coupled with the summary of what had al- ready been accomplished. Assur- ance of reliable service at reasonable cost" was to be the foundation for commercial development of aviation. the report added, and progress in this direction must be gradual.

PLEDGE is MADE TO HIRE
WATERFRONT EXPERT HERE
Continued from Page y

1t developed during Mr. Smiths
talk that he had taken up with the
government officials at Washington
the question of having Raritan river
deepened and had succeeded In hav-
ing any definite decision by the gov
eminent concerning its policy OF I'M
proving the local waters postponed
until the early part of next mont
In the meantime, the speaker ex-
planned he hoped that the Perth Am
boy council would pass a resolution
showing that it intended to do M
thing definite towards developing
its water front. With these assur-
ances that the city mean to improve
its shorefront along the most logl-
cal lines. the speaker said, he felt
greater pressure could be brought TO
bear upon the government engineers
in favoring the deeper channel in
stead of opposing the improvement
at this time.
The government now has before 1t
a recommendation from the engi-
neers that this work be omitted at
the present time as conditions do
not warrant" the expenditure of the
money necessary to finance the
dredging OF a channel from the
Great Beds lighthouse to the rail-
road bridge. 1t is President Smiths
idea to urge the government to re
fer this recommendation back TO
the engineers for another survey of
conditions in order that a favorable
recommendation might be forthcom-
ing when it is learned the city in
tends to spend some money in de-
veloping its waterfront property.
Although the mayor is powerless
in forcing the issue of the city talk
ing up the policy of waterfront de-
velopment, he spoke strongly in
favor of engaging an expert who
could study local conditions and
report as to the manner of Inn
provement which would bring the
city the biggest results. The mayor
thanked Mr.. Smith for h interest
shown by him in the welfare OF the
city and pledged himself to get be-
hind any measure that the aldermen
might pass to further this work.
Alderman-at-Large Calvin point
ed out that he was only one mem
Der of the board but he pledged his
uppor to the idea of engaging an
expert and promised those present
that he would bring before the
board the matter of increasing the
city plans appropriation next year
so that an expert might be engaged.
Alderman-at-Large Calvin also
promised Mr.. Smith that he would
bring this matter before the alder
men this Friday night at their COM
mittee meeting so that a resolution
might be adopted next Monday
night putting the board on record
as ready to go ahead with the pre-
liminary work early next year..
