Appleby in House Tells of N.
Y. Port Problem-Raritan
Bay Improvements
By GEORGE H. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of Tlie
x-ertli .Amboy Evening News
AVASHINGTON. June 7.—The na
tural advantage* of the Port of New
York and the steps being taken by
the communities adjacent to the
metropolis to improve the water
traffic facilities of the Port were re
viewed bv Congressman T. Frank
Appleby In a speech he Inserted In
the Congressional Record today in
reierence to the passage last Friday
• by the senate and House of the reso
•ution granting the Port of New York
Authority.
“The first resolution introduced
on thla subject was passed by the
House and senate, and signed by
President Harding last August." said
Congressman Appleby. “Since pass
age of that resolution both the state
of New York and the state of New
Jersey have adopted a comprehen
slve plan for the development of the
Port of New York. I quote from
the report on the resolution as fol
lowb:
" "Historically, geographically and
•ommerclally. New York and the in
dustrial districts in the northern
pert of New Jersey constitute a sin
gle unit. a great metropolitan district
OT 8,000,000 people. The Port of
New York, with Its three entrances,
800 miles of water front, twelve rail
roads (exclusive of local transit
Unee) entering the port, a terminus
for rvearly all of the more Import
ant transatlantic lines, not only con
cerns the people of the two states,
but constitute an asset of the entire
nation The necessity of creating the
port district and authorizing the
creation of the port authority is
manifest from the fact that over
forty municipalities are Involved,
some of them controlled by men of
divergent views and many of them
working at cross-purposes and In the
dark. The port of New York is one
of the main arteries and principal
gateways between the United States
and the markets of the world, and
any Improvement to the Port of New
York will work a benefit to the en
lire eetlAO
Concededly. terminal facilities at
• the port are grossly inadequate,
mainly due to the lack of co-opera
‘.ion between the two states of New
York and New Jersey. It is sub
mitted that a unified authority and
control will bring order out of chaos
and afford a blessing not only to the
contiguous municipalities but also
to the country at large.
“In a letter addressed to the chair
man of the judiciary committee un
der date of June 30.. 1921, in regard
to the resolution, John W. Weeks,
aecretary of war. says:
"The adequate improvement and
levelopment of port facilities at New
York is a deserving enterprise, and
;lf the work is accomplished on the
i comprehensive plan of co-operation
contemplated by the two states it
will doubtless result in benefit to the
transportation interests of the en
tire nation. I recommend, therefore,
that congTess give its consent to the
agreement.
“Since House Joint resolution No.
172 was passed, legislation for the
improvement of New York Harbor
and its adjacent waters has been en
acted by this body, viz., the authori
sation of a 30-foot channel extending
from Sandy Hook through Raritan
Bay to Perth Amboy, then through
Arthur Kill and Kill Van Kull to
Upper New York Bay. In addition
to this an appropriation was approv
ed by both the House and the sen
ate for additional aids to navigation
in Raritan Bay, and by lighting
these waters at night giving traffic
over them a full twenty-four hour
service. The war department is now
malting Inquiries, as to the advisa
bility of recommending to congress
adoption of a project for deep
ening the channel of the Raritan
Stiver, that adequate water transpor
H f-iniiition mnv* Vio affnrrtpd the
Industrial establishments lining its
banks.
"The discussion in regard to these
Srojects has brought to the atten
on of the public as never before
the tremendous possibilities of the
Port of New York. The State of
New Jersey, by its natural advan
tages, will be the outlet for the
many railroads now having terminal
stations there, and the development
of the same is fully comprehei**.d
in the plan of the Port of New York
Authority. Public interest has been
aroused in this great project, and
many municipalities have held
meetings to endorse the movemen*.
The magnitude of the project is ap
pealing to the enterprising citizens
Of the state, and they are giving
practically their unanimous en
dorsement to this great waterways
and transportation undertaking.
“I feel sure, fellow members, you
have made no mistake in voting for
this joint resolution.

Between
Ourselves
! They say that in the Spring
a young man’s fancy lightiy j
turns to thoughts of love. So
he does the natural thing and
falls in love.
But see what happens.
After a while the madness
that once made their hearts
beat fast and their cheeks
flush happily departs. They
no longer whisper silly non
sense to each other.
A wife's love may mani
fest itself as an anxiety con
cerning overshoes in damp |
weather—or buttons missing
from a shirt front. And a
husband may forget birthdays
and wedding anniversaries.
But there is between them
unquestioned harmony and
devotion.
If in the twilight of the
evening when the day’s work
is finished the wife settles
down into an easy chair and
asks, “Do you love me,
| Billy?" he may not roll his
eyes heavenward and call the
gods to witness that his heart
heats for her alone.
Very probably he still say,
"Sure, Mike!”
