Eugene; I Falk and Albert E. Jones, representing several large property owners, hafe issued the call for the meeting, they claiming that increases of from 15 to 40 per cent, were made. This, it is declared, is not fair when considered with increases made In-other parts of the city. Many landlords have given leases, running for a term of years, and the rental was fixed upon the assessed valuation at the time in force and upon what was believed would a reasonable annual increase. The present Jump, it is said is out of all proportion and will reduce the earning on investments to less than 2 per cent.

Domestic Cham oir jonn Powers The conference committee, appointed a year ago to consider the proposed widening of the north entrance Lackawanna pier matter, had a meet-jing at the Chamber of Commerce to-tday. The memorandum handed jdown by Secretary of War Lindley M.

Garrison, prohibiting the mooring of ooats at jne pier, enectiye apru ist, was fully discussed. After the meeting, a statement was issued. This says that "the committee is not satisfied with the recent. memorandum mae by Mr. Garrison in relation to the mooring or coal boats at the Lackawanna trestle." Then it goes on to say: "The committee, in fact, reached the conclusion, that the secretary of war shot wide of the mark when he confined his ruling in this matter solely to the subject of occupancy of the entrance channel by the Lackawanna and gave no consideration to the primary purpose for which he himself named the committee, namely, to report upon the need of a wider fairway for Buffalo harbor." In view of Mr.

Garrison's attitude, it was determined to drop th Lackawanna end of the case and simply direct its efforts toward getting a wider harbor entrance. Continuing, the statement goes on tp say: "It was made plain in the discussion that many Buffaloniahs have an entirely erroneous conception' regarding the situation and the committee, in a sense, blames Itself for the spreading of this idea, since it carried on its negotiations, covering a period of many, months, with as little publicity as possible. Its excuse for so doing is that it felt that such a course of action would be more satisfactory to Washington. It appears that many Buffalonians have' the' impression that the principal work of the committee was devoted to an effort to induce the government to permit the continuation of mooring coal boats at the Lackawanna trestle for the purpose of taking: on cargoes of coal. As a matter of fact, that was a mere detail of the negotiations and was incidental to the general subject of making plain to the authorities in Washington that ButfalaTFas lngrat" need of a wider harbor entrance--- Letter to Garrison, It was-decided at the meeting to send a letter to Secretary Garrison, to inform him of the position of the committee of the present.

This was drafted, and at the outset acknowledges receipt of the memoran dum in question. The committee asks if the memorandum is a complete answer to the report to-the War Department through Colonel J. G. Warren, local United States engineer. "The committee is irt doubt," the letter saya, "for the Reason thaf the communication addressed to.

the Delaware, Lackawanna Western Railroad Company gives the impression that the subject of the mooring or the non-mooring of boats at the Lackawanna's trestle was the principal matter considered. As a matter of fact, the committee, acting in accordance with specific directions given by yourself at the hearing held: before you On Iecember 10, 1913, treated as the subject of primary importance the heed of a wider harbor entrance for the city, irrespective of whether the Lackawanna is allowed to continue to moor at its coal The complaint also is made that "so far as the letter addressed to the Lackawanna Railroad Company is concerned, there is nothing In it to indicate that any consideration Was given to the elements of commerce and tonnage of this port in its relation to a wider harbor entrance. The committee deems this as of primary importance, in view of the conditions which the city has been obliged to meet at ah expense of several million dollars in such waters as are under its jurisdiction. We refer particularly to what the city has done in response to the and of commerce and navigation, such as the deepening and widening of Buffalo River, and the assistance given in the construction of a turning basin uio wiuaucB cnannei. Capt.

Norton 1 Deputy Engineer Commissioner George Hi NoTton of the Department of Public Works, a member of the sub-committee which considered the matter, also has written Secretary Garrison, saying that he differs with Gen. Dan: C. Kingman, chief of engineers, and other government officials who say the harbor cannot well be given a wider entrance, unless the silt is to hlock the channel. As engineer of the city of Buffalo in charge of harbor maintenance and as subordinate in this office for many years having charge of the maintenance of the Buffalo inner harbor, and for a number of years this portion of the mouth of Buffalo River before the maintenance of the same was assumed by the United States government, I dissent from the opinion of? your various engineers that a moderately widened entrance will be the cause of silting this channel so as to materially interfere with navigation. i "This is given only as the opinion of one engineer in reply to the opinions of -others given on the same subject, and I believe that I have had more ex-tnded experience with th maintnance of this 'stream, both at its mouth and on its other portions, than has any other engineer.

This stream is fast becoming an artificial waterway in that it is being enlarged and protected for a long distance upstream and has upon It parts of the width of this proposed widened outlet which will receive the deposit of such settlement which would normally be deposited in or near this outlet. cn box- 23a 6d a grapnia Biory oi me cietv Of Naturat Soienrpx Justice Morschauser sprung a or JNatu'at sciences prise then by ordering the case to, SUPPLY CO.
