SHIPMENTS BY
 SMALL BOATS
 BEING STUDIED
Chamber Takes Up Matter in Connection with Plans,
 Harbor Development

A motion was carried at the Cham Der of Commerce luncheon in the Terminal Cafe today authorizing Frank A. Boyle, Chairman of the Transportation and Trade Commit tee, to spend funds not exceeding the amount of $50 for the purpose of securing detailed information rela- tive to freight shipments by small boats from Juneau.
 In response to a request from the Engineer Corps of the War De- partment for the information on small boat shipments, letters have been mailed to all merchants in the Juneau area requesting data on that subject, Mir Boyle reported. It was suggested that funds be pro- vided for the hiring of man to se- cure information that could not oth- erwise be obtained, and for any oth- CT expenses involved, and motion was carried limiting such expendi- lures to the sum of $50.
 It was agreed by the Chamber that the subject of small boat ship ments is very important at this time in view of the proposed small boat harbor for Juneau.
 Portions of the report submitted to the Chief of Engineers at Wash ington, D. C., by H. J. Wild, It. Col, Corps of Engineers, District Engin- eer at Seattle, were read by Secre- tary Shattuck, including the esti- mated cost of the proposed improve ment, which is as follows:
 Dredging, 375,000 GU. yds. 112,500 Bulkheads, 1920 lin. ft.-........ 12,150 Breakwaters, 50,0O0 GU. yds... 25,O00 Field surveys and inspec-
 ton 1850
 Total field cost ................... .$157 ,000 District and Vision over
 head, approximately per
 cent 5000
 Total estimated cost ..........-. .$163 900
 While construction of the small boat harbor this winter as relief measure has been said to be i'm practical by the Government, Vice President Norman Banfield stated, it is thought that funds for a de- tailed survey of the project will be forthcoming and construction of the harbor improvement through regu- lar channels will probably follow within the near future

TO GREET AME
CONFERENCE

NEW YORK-(ANP)- Delegates
and visitors to the Quadrennia
General Conference of the A. M. E
Church will be welcomed to this
state and city by Governor Her,
bert Lehman and Mayor FiorellC
ii. LaGuardia, at the opening ses.
sion of the night of May 6, the Rev
ID. Ward Nichols, pastor of Eman,
uel A. M. f. Church, 37-41 West
10th Street, and host to the con,
ference, announced today.
The Conference, which meets
every four years to elect officers
and shape the policies of the con-
nection, is expected to bring $4,000
delegates and visitors to this city
from ninety nine conferences
throughout this country, Africa
the West Indies and South Ameri-
ca. In addition to the business
meetings, the three weeks session
provides a varied program for the
delegates and friends.
Sessions of the conference will
be held in Harlem's most spacious
hall, the Rockland Palace, Eighth
Avenue at 155th Street, where dele
gates will gather twice daily, once
in the afternoon and again in the

In making the announcement of
the scheduled conference, the Rev.
DR.. Nichols expressed the opinion
that the General Conference here
this year will be one of the most
important in the long history of
the African Methodi), Episcopal
Church.
Because the social and econo-
mic conditions of these times pre-
sent a challenge to organized re-
ligion," the pastor said, "it can be
expected that our church will re-
spond to that challenge and that
the delegates assembled here will
seriously consider the Christian
role of our church in this crisis.
Then too, the great City of New
York is readily accessible not only
to our churches in this country,
but also to our foreign districts,
all of which are eager to partici-
pate in this history-making confer
ence.

in formulating plans for the con-
ference is a local committee Of A.
M. f. Pastors. Serving on this
committee are the Rev. M. E. Jack
son Bridge Street Church, Brook
lyn; the Rev. H. p. Anderson,

err, Allen Church, Jamaica, l.. l.;
and the Rev. l.. II. Midgette, Beth

haitian, Brooklyn and Buffalo dis
tricts, the Reverends G. e. Walton,

spectively.
