J. Spencer Smith Explains
Plan of Pori Development
Now Under Consideration
-,
J. Spencer Smith, vice chairman
of the Port of New York Authority,
and chairman of the New Jersey
Board of Commerce and Navigation,
last night ma« an address on the
subject of port development before
a large audience consisting of the
Newark Public School Principals'
Association and the public in the
Robert Treat School auditorium at
Newark. The plans for the develop
ment of the Port of New Y'ork and
Newark, which have been the sub
ject of study for the past five years,
were outlined by Mr. Smith and four
reels of motion pictures were shown.
Another speaker was Dewitt Van
Buskirk.
Mr. Smith said In part:
“When one talks about ports, our
thoughts are apt to turn to ships.
When we speak of the port of New
York, we must enlarge our vision if
we arc to have a true prospectus of
the problems involved. There are
many factors entering into the port
of New York problem.
“We are not only concerned about
the facilities for handling the tre
mendous export and import business
passing in and out of the port but
we have to keep in mind the neces
sity for providing facilities of the
feeding, clothing and housing of
eight millions of people. This means
that the port of New York problem
directly affects you and me, and ev
erey other man, woman and child
living within the port district or
within a distance of fifty miles of
New York city hall.
“In order to secure some under
standing of this big problem, one
must appreciate that Manhattan Is
land is the centre and heart of the
port. Until we straighten out the
centre and have it functioning as it
should, we can make little headway
with the balance. Just as it does a
person very little, if any good to
develop the muscles of his body if
his heart is weak or not working
normally so it is with the port of
New York problem.
“The freight destined for Man
hattan must flow freely without in
terruption and upon a lower basis of
cost if we are to be successful in
solving our problem.
“It may interest you to know that
about one-third of the food and
other items that enter into our daily
lives return to us from New York.
The question has been asked by
folks living in Paterson, Newark,
Perth Amboy and other spots. Must
how does the solution of the port
problem affect us?’ The answer is
a direct one. Manhattan is the pri
mary market for the metropolitan
district. Anything that reduces costs
and improves the facilities of Man
hattan directly redounds in our fa
vor, no matter where we live within
the potr district. Indirectly, when
the Manhattan tonnage has been
cared for, it will be a simple mat
ter to bring about local improve
ments.
the problem piecemeal. Unfortunate
ly, this cannot be done in the usually
accepted flense of the word. We have
to make a complete job when we try
to rectify the heart. It has to be
right if the balance of the body is to
be sound and develop properly. Com
merce does not care for state lines
any more than do rivers and water
ways. Business, like water, finds its
own level. This was a fact that had
to be recognized. With the recogni
tion of this fact came the consumma
tion of the treaty or compact be
tween New York and New Jersey,
not for the purpose of creating a su
per-state but in order that an agency
might be created which could handle
the co-ordination of the rail and
water arteries serving the commer
WOMEN NOW SEEK
TO COMPEL PEACE
By N. K. A. Service
CHICAGO—“The nations of the
world must disarm. We women who
work will see that they do.”
The speaker was Mrs. Raymond
Robins, president of the National
Trade Union League. She will sail
for Switzerland Sept. 17. to serve as
president of the second Internation
al Congress of Working Women,
which convenes in Geneva Oct. 17.
More than 100.000.000 female
toilers will be represented at the
conference.
“This,” said Mrs. Robins, “is the
time to bring feminine influence to

“Our gathering in Geneva will be

cial needs of this district, which
from an economic point of view is
one unit.
“The agency established by this
compact, rhe Port Authority, should
have the endorsement of every New
Jerseyman, especially those associat
ed with our educational work, no
matter whether that Jerseyman lives
in the midst of the pines of Burling
ton county, on the shores of Cape
May or Ocean counties, or among the
beautiful hills of Warren and Sus
sex. Why? Because when the plans
under consideraticyi by the Port Au
thority are consummated, the shore
front of all the tidal waters of North
ern New Jersey will greatly increase
in value. The major portion of these
lands are still owned by the state.
This in turn means that our state
school fund will be greatly enriched.
Do you know that during the fiscal
year ending June 30. $1,823,000 were
turned into the school fund from the
sale of leasing of our Riparian lands.
This fund reaches every nook and
corner of New Jersey.
“The potential value to the state
school fund, through the develop
ment of our Port District water front
runs into many millions of dollars.
If for no other reason I appeal to
you and my fellow-Jerseymen to in
terest yourselves in this problem.
“The Port Authority is studying
the problem. If they are to be suc
cessful. they must have your aid and
suggestions.
“Study if you will some of the fac
tors that enter into the problem;
realize that the solution of the carry
ing of freight at a lower cost is a
problem; appreciate that it affects
you directly; talk it over with your
neighbors; try to understand it so
that you may discuss it intelligently.
When drawbridges are open and
your train or auto has to wait, do
not become impatient or put out,
remember the waterways are the
great carriers open to all and free to
all. that without them our country,
our state, our cities would not be
what they are. ♦
“The Port Authority is endeavor
ing to co-ordinate our wonderful
waterways and our splendid railroad
system so that they will best serve
the interests of all with the least in
terference with the freedom of boat,
rail or motor traffic to the end that
the costs mav be reduced and life
in these parts made the happier.
PROPOSED FERRY LINE

The plans call for the deepening
of the water to a point at the foot
of John street where a large wharf
will be erected, and will tend toward
the development of this city’s long
shore front. The Pennsylvania Rail
road Company are the onl$r persons
gaining any advantage from the
shores of the city.
Should this route be established it
will eliminate the heavy traffic over

the route to Brooklyn and New
York by several miles. The local

bility.
