If Cpuneil persists in its present at titude, said the Director, then Phila delphia stands n chance of losing its foremost position as a sea pert the second in importance In the United States. "On the ether hnnd," added the Director, "if we develop the belt line se that It really functions nnd keep n little abend of the demnndH for pier spnee, then there Is nethfng te step the ferwnrd movement of the pert of Phila delphia.

Despite the nttltude of Council, the Department of Wharves, Decks nnd Ferries, like ether departments under Mayer Moere, is stirring with actual construction work. .Approximately $4,000,000 worth of work Is new under contract. Nevertheless, at least $.1,000,000 Is urgently needed nt once, and mere must be supplied If the facilities of the pert arc te be kept abreast of the tide of business. Director Sproule also called for action In mnking the Belt Line n real service. This line Is supposed te connect up the piers with bcvcral railroads.
