(U. P.)--President Wilson's reception was a magnified .- echo of the greeting that had been given the presidential party along the whole t route from Paris to Rome. As the train, decorated with the Stars and ' Stripes, passed through each village, : the inhabitants, waiting beside the tracks, gave thir president an ovation. ' These receptions had been growing in ; fervor since daybreak. .', As the carriages rolled out of the sta tion, the president was given a rousing greeting by British and American offi .1 cers, American Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. workers and representatives of every American military mission in Rome who . swere grouped about the exit. At the same time the commander of ' Rome garrison gave a sharp order f which hundreds of officers repeated '.and more than 6000 soldiers presented , 1 arms while the largest crowds Rome .has ever seen massed behind the troops, .rave the president the city's popular .welcome. i. The large square appeared to be a 4 solid mass' of waving flags. Crowds thronged the streets and adorned the '-windows of every building, especially jacent lowlands with the spoil of dredg ing. Mr. LaRoche's thought is to cre ate an Improvement district, assessing the cost of removing the island against the property to be filled. Still another project, as outlined in the Bennett plan. Is to maintain the present east channel, connect the island and the west shore with a dike ana create below the dike a dead water ba sin with the shore area utilized for wharves and Blips, the upland for in dustries. The two commissions decided to wait until they decided on a plan before ask ing the government to make an. appro priation for the deepening of the" west channel around Swan island. They agreed to join In appeal for the perman ent deepening to 3o feet of the Colum bia river channel between the moutn or the Willamette and the sea Depends on Price Asked Both port and dock commissioners stated this morning that figures on what the owners of Swan island want for the property are not available. The island" contains somewhat over 200 acres and is assessed at $90,000. It was agreed that sufficient to end negotiations would be' a price made by the owners, which would be prima facie evidence of desire to speculate at the public's expense. Port Commissioners Inman, O'Reilly, Spencer, Shaver and Strong and Dock Commissioners Moores, Burgard and Knapp, with Chief Engineer Hegardt of the dock commission and Manager Doyle of the port commission, participated In this morning's conference.
