will ask Congress at its next ses- Bion to establish the office of cap- tain of the Port of New York, with powers of traffic regulation in the harbour analogous to those possessed by the Police Depart- ment in handling traffic upon the highways (state New York ad- vices). The decision of the board of directors of the Mer- chants' Association to seek such legislation is the result of a study which has been made by its com- mittee on harbour, docks and ter- minals. The proposals is also ap- proved by the Chamber of Com- merce of the State of New York, the Pilots' Association and other maritime bodies, i

At present there is no chief executive or exclusively responsi- ble body in charge of the physical improvement of the harbour or with authority to formulate rules and regulations covering ship- ping. There is a supervisor of the harbour, created under the pro- visions of a law enacted in 1888, This official is an officer of the United States Navy, and is charg- ed particularly with the duty of preventing obstruction or injuri aus deposits within the harbour and adjoining waters.
