In its report the board indicates that it does not favour the Fresh Pond Bay project firstly, because of the uncertainty of the development of the part and bay as a deep-water harbour; secondly) it is not impresa-
ed with the relatively small amount
of water-borne commerce now car. ried on there, thirdly, because of the large expenditure necessary for the construction of a breakwater either for a deep water port or a harbour for small water craft, and the fact that no definite offer of local co-operation in the cost of the improvement has been forthcom- ing.

Mr. Chairman Albert B. Hager, of the commitice, said, that in view of the report of the board of en- gineers of the War Department it.
I was more urgent than ever to press forward the development work of Jamaica Bay.
"Jamaica Bay is a natural haw bour, requiring only the more rapid carying forward of the plans for its development," said Mr. Hager, "to make it the world's largest scaport, with every facility for the loading and unloading of freight, and the convenient. transfer of
