FRIDAY, NEW YORK BUILDING $28,000,000 DOCKS Data Presented in Commerce Com- mission Hearing on Free Lighterage. [ By the Associated Press. NEW YORK May 15.—The City of New York has under construction, or {under contract to construct, 12 plers in { East and North Rivers at an estimated cost of $27,900,000, and bulkheads in Jamaica and Gravesend Bavs at an |estimated cost of $410,000, T. F. | Keller, chief engineer of the department |of docks, testified today in the New | Jersey lighterage case before Interstate | Commerce Commission examiners. Mr. Keller's testimony was intended to emphasize the growth of the port of | New York, and was part of efforts of | | \the State and city to prevent the aboli- tion of free lighterage. Declaring the port to be the most im- portant in_the world, Mr. Keller read statistics showing that Hamburg, Ger- many, has only 15 per cent of New York’s berthing space, and Liverpool, | England, only 27 per cent; that Boston | has only half as many piers and one- \flf\h as many miles of shoreline and San Francisco only one-fifth as many plers. J. J. Hickey, chief of counsel for the State of New Jersey, said the figures used by Mr. Keller were taken from records of the War Department, the use of which had been barred when New Jersey presented its side of the case last Spring. They were, however, re- celved in evidence by Examiners M. Steer and P. C. Paulsen. “Bright” and “dull” children are often incorrectly labeled, according to Dr. Joseph Miller, director of guidance in the Wilkes-Barre, Pa., schools. The | former are frequently just glib, while the so-called dull children often are | normally intelligent, but are slow of speech and shy.
