When the west channel proposed around Swan Island is created, the silt from dredging should not be deposited on private property for the enrichment of selfish Interest but on snore lands acquired by the public, argued J. B. Zlegler before the commission of public docks this morning. He renewed his application for this action as presented to the city council and referred by the city council to the dock commission. It will be worth millions of dollars to this community to adopt apollcy which shall thus preserve the public's rights," he declared. Policy Zs IHscussed. The application originally submitted by Dr. Zlegler declared that the city council and dock commission must ac cept the responsibility; that the port commission by filling private property with dredged material has adopted a policy negative to the application, and that the Chamber of Commerce has shown Itself in this particular to be gcverned by selfish factors. Zlegler !ald It is the first and para mount duty of the dock commission to develop a comprehensive port and terminal plan for Portland. lie re minded members of the commission that they possess, according to opin ion of the city attorney, power to es tablish bulkhead lines'. He declared that the power of regu lating construction on ehorelands be tween ordinary high water mark and the harbor line belongs to the dock commission. Speaker Boands Warning. But he added that If the pillcy is permitted to continue of filling private lands with material from public dredg ing operations and at public expense, the high water mark will be changed, and so will the low water mark be altered, and the harbor area of the city will be restricted dangerously. "Already." said he, "this port is handicapped more ln the matter of wharf area than any other port in the United States." The campaigner for establishment of public right on the waterfront and In the harbor declared that the amend ment to the city charter which bears his name . must be enforced. This amendment, among Its other provisions, requires that no franchise or permit for tracks or construction be granted that will In any way endanger the public's right ln the establishment of a comprehensive water terminal related to rail transportation by, say a harbor belt line, on a common user basis, that will give to the movement of freight on land along the waterfront as great freedom as the movement of boats ln the water. Xreg-al Point Considered. Dr. ZIeglers application was taken under advisement by the commission. The legal phases of the application gestion that the commission create committees on operation of docks--tarlff, traffic and maintenance; water front construction building, ord' nances and future plans; Insurance and railroad franchises and permits to fa cilitate the commission's work. The suggestion was continued until a meet ing, when all the commissioners will b present, those attending fhis morn ing being Chairman B. Moores and Commissioners Ben Selling and K. C. Knap p.
