ONE PORT BODY IS
ASKED
PORTLAhID
City and State Combination
Urged Locally.
HARBOR WELFARE SOUGHT
Future Development . of Marine
Shipping Thought Best Assured by
Having but One Commission.
Consolidation of the Port of Port
land commission and the commission
of public docks to form a single ad
ministrative body responsible for all
the maritime activities of the port
the recommendation of the committee
of 15, according to a communication
from J. B. Kerr, chairman of this
committee, read at a meeting yester
day of the port commission.
The committee of 15, appointed by
the city council to make recommenda
tions for the future welfare of the
eity, particularly in regard to indu
trial and commercial development, has
decided that the consolidation of the
two port administrative bodies is for
the . best interests of Portland, ac
cording to Mr. Kerr's letter, and will
take the matter up with the 1921 ses
Jon of the state legislature or place
it in the form of an initiative petl
tion upon the ballot in the 1920 elea
tion.
News Writer Are Excluded.
The communication to the port
commission was for the purpose o
determining the views of that body on
the proposed change and to ask for
suggestions. Consideration of . the
matter by the port commission was
made following the adjournment of
yesterday's regular meeting, at an ex
ecutive Bession from which represen
tatives of the press were excluded.
a The plan proposed by the committee
of 15 is for the Port of Portland to
take over all the property of the city
controlled by the dock commission,
including all municipal terminals and
their equipment. The port, under this
plan, would assume the bonded In
debtedness of the city incurred
through the activities of the commis
sion of .public docks, and would be
privileged to issue its own bonds for
the amount of this debt.
The recommendations of the com
mittee of 15 also include the purchase
by the port of Swan island in the
lower harbor, its partial or complete
removal and the development of the
lowlands in Mock's bottom and the
Guild's lake district.
( llr ud State to Combine.
Plans for the development of the
harbor in connection with the Swan
island project have been under con
sideration by the port and dock com
missions for several months, and an
extensive survey of the island and ad
jacent territory has been made by
George W. Bosch ke, a consulting en
gineer employed for this work' jointly
by the two commissions.. Recommen
dations of Mr. Boschke have been
discussed by representatives of the
port and dock commissions at several
star-chamber sessions within the past
two weeks, and a decision on the fu
ture operations about Swan island is
expected to be announced soon.
While the commission of public
docks is a branch of the municipal
government, the Port of Portland de
rives its powers from the state legis
lature. A consolidation of the, two
bodies, .therefore, will require either
an act of the legislature or a vote by
the state at large.

f! A medicine
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly ln direct
touch with the public, there la one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions. The mild and healing Influence
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its
remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa
nies, in an interview of the subject.
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is becaui
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root la on sale at all drug stores In
bottles of two sixes, medium and
large.
However, If you wish first to test
this great preparation, send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blngharaton. N.
Y., for a sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention The Portland
Oregonlan. Adv.
