Edward F. Smith. chairman of the
harbor Improvement committee. opens
ed the meeting by presenting Its pur-
pose to Congressmen l-liil. Mr. Smith
said that two years ago the sististico
token showed that the tonnage oi the
harbor amounted to 1,700,000. and in
view oi this showing. the merchants
were oi the opinion that they were on-
