New Tork ha Invested nearly $100.- . 000,000 in acquiring docks, to be owned and operated by the elty and haa sc oured 40 to 70 per cent of th entlr waterfront there. e ' ' Liverpool lately ha completed a gysM tern of ston dock, built so as to n dur th ravage 'of many scores of year, and they ar owned and oper ated by th city.

Although th conduct of municipally owned dock In other port i by no mean aa experi ment, th problem haa not been worked out In detail for thla city, and yet the leadlns- shlDDers and business men ef alt tynes ar looking Into th question and. procuring data. . , Th governing principle or euyowuea dock la the operation of all wharree at th lowest cost consistent with main ten- , ance and good service, a portion ef th . waterfront thu kept permanently from the possibility of monopolisation by any transportation corporation. All ship have equal acoeae to th dock and th ' result I that independent companies ar encouraged to enter the carrying trade. knowing that they will not be forced to operate at a disadvantage with the ship ping of Isrger-llnes. I. N. nelscnner or neiscnner, atayer at Co. Indoreed the plan with consider able enthusiasm. He said: '- X. H.

I understand that many ' European cities maintain such systems of publicly .owned dorks and that ther ar demonstrated to bave wrought for the upbuilding of thoee port.
