Inman told of the work of the Port -commission and of the things ; it , hopesto do to forward" the port's statistics. Charles B. . Moores j explained things done and to be done by the docks commission. ' Henry L.. Corbett reviewed ' the! work done by .the. Chamber of Commerce- and pointed out -the things yet to be done for forward ing Portland as a , maritime city. The meeting was one of a series j devoted to the Portland shipping situation by the Realty board, and inaugurated with a hope of arous ing public sentiment to a realiza tion of the vital importance of Butting the port in Portland. Many representative business ! men were present ana - went away witn a realizing sense that there are vital thlng9 that mritst be done and be done soon in this city. . t ,..mw ' hr hL rttT,t tvof Enm.fM m,,at ho rinn t l :1 :;r;,r , i on an equality with other Pacific ,! ports in supplying coal to ships It wan aaserted that the tnwaret at Portland must be made andloften 88 we 0411 of the better side kent'on. a low terma i to vessels i of We - and the happier side of plying to Portland as on vessels entering other ports It was asserted that the public . . .

It was asserted that the channel to the1 Bea must be kept steadily &t a 30-foot depth, and that in any ease of shoaling after the June rresnets m me tjoiumma, ine pon0f the annual expenses of the con of Portland must, at any cost, co- operate with the federal goveVn- meni m storms w cnannei i lta- asual necessary aeptn. Perhaps the most I important statement was - the emphatic dec laration by the , president of . the Chamber of Commerce that the failure of Portland to keep pac Lwith; other ports was largely due to the failure . of tne : people to unitedly, resolutely , and continu- ously .stand for ships ana shipping 1 as a means of keeping this port a eonnon f Ta pPf tha whnia fi t V permeated with the maritime' mind and to begin now the work of unl- fying-the tmlnd of. all the people for a fial determined stand for steanisfBp lines and all , the things needed t6i facilitate the movement of ocean traffic in Portland harbor, was announced by Mr. f Corbett to he the immediate problem which could have none other j than most successful results.
