Suggeetiona have been mad by prom'
Inent bualneaa men that a commlaalon
ahould be appointed to look Into - the
feaalbtlity of municipally owned docks.
Tha proposal in The Journal on Satur
day, that Portland baa reached a point
in ttm H.nlni-it that demanda the
permanent solution of the transporta
tion prooiera oy ine acquisition or m
municipality of at least a portion of the
mlmm.m 4wka mnn that than Should be S
belt line owned by the city or a corpora
tion unaer cereui supervision i
city government, has caused widespread
discussion. - Sentiment in favor of it
appears to be growing rapidly, notwtth-
standing tne suDjeci is new, so r m
Portland ia concerned, and heretofore
has not received general consideration.
Comments ara common to the effect
thai the possibilities of the project are
so great that there ahould be no undue
delay In learning Just what would be the

problems that are raised by . the pro
posal.- '-.-
Advaatage Oreai.
Business men and engineers realise
that there are difflcultlea to be enooun
tared, and that the succeaa of the plan
would not be accomplished easily; but
that municipally owned docks and
belt line of the character mentioned
would be of Immense advantage to thla
city, appears to be almost unlvereally
conceded. . . v
Ira F. Powers, manager of the Powers
Manufacturing company, talked f the
project today and aalds
"Anything that I say In thla connec
tion la with the understanding that the
proposition la yet in a chaotio state and
haa not been presented In tangible form
so aa to enable a man to say yes or no
Anally aa to any apeclno proposal. . But,
looking at It In the light of the general
principle involved, I am in favor of the
city owning at leaat a portion of the
waterfront and ' operating docks that
ahall be open to all transportation and
ahlpplng Interests . upon a common
basis.

: " I then went to another doctor, who"
helped them some, but . after being
treated by him for three months my
bands-wer not well and the treatment
