Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Eleventh Convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress The Convention of 1914 was held during a time of serious business depression due to the war in Europe. Added to this was the fact that the railroads of the country, without excep tion and for the first time, refused any reduction of rates, although low rates were granted to scores of other gatherings, many of which were smaller in size and less in importance than our annual convention. It is both significant and gratifying that even under such conditions nearly one thousand delegates were present, coming from 37 States, the District of Columbia and Canada, and representing 246 cities and 138 commercial organizations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Eleventh Convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress The 1914 Convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress - a full report of the proceedings of which will be found in the following pages - was the eleventh convention held by the organization since its formation in 1901, and the tenth since its reorganization in 1906. The first convention was called after a Rivers and Harbors Bill had been talked to death in the closing hours of a short session of Congress. The eleventh convention was held after a filibuster in the Senate had compelled the substitution of a lump-sum appropriation of $20,000,000 for a carefully prepared and thoroughly meritorious bill carrying a total of more than $53,000,000. The Convention of 1914 was held during a time of serious business depression due to the war in Europe. Added to this was the fact that the railroads of the country, without exception and for the first time, refused any reduction of rates, although low rates were granted to scores of other gatherings, many of which were smaller in size and less in importance than our annual convention. It is both significant and gratifying that even under such conditions nearly one thousand delegates were present, coming from 37 States, the District of Columbia and Canada, and representing 246 cities and 138 commercial organizations. Whenever the people of the United States shall realize that the complete development of all our resources and the attainment of the highest possible prosperity can be secured only through the improvement and utilization of our waterways and harbors, there is no question that the needed appropriations will be forthcoming. It is the work of this organization to create an intelligent, forceful, result-compelling public opinion on the waterway question through the presentation of facts and of arguments based thereon. It is believed that the present volume will be found a worthy contribution to that end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress: Eighth Annual Convention, Washington, D. C., Dec; 6, 7 and 8, 1911 These resolutions were voiced, not by unthinking enthusiasts, but by a great convention Of delegates representing the state and municipal governments and the commercial organizations of the entire country. The policy advocated is the crystallized result of the thought and the experience of the business men of the United States. It merits and should receive the cordial support of every section, every interest and every citizen of the Union. Its adoption by the Federal Government would result in benefits enormously greater than the expense involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Rivers and Harbors Congress: Held at Washington, D. C., March 1 and 2, 1922 The National Rivers and Harbors Congress was organized at a convention held in Baltimore in October, 1901, following the defeat, through a filibuster, of a River and Harbor Bill in the preceding March. Reorganized at a convention held in Washington, D. C., in January, 1906, it began the nation-wide campaign in favor of the improvement and use of our rivers and harbors which has been continuously carried on until the present day - and which must be carried on until its object, which is of such vital importance to our national interests, has been fully accomplished. Two conventions were held in 1906 (the second one in December), and conventions were held in December of each year thereafter until, and including, 1916. No conventions were held in 1917 or 1918, on account of the war, but two were held in 1919 - in February and December, respectively, followed by one in December, 1920. The Seventeenth Convention would regularly have been held in December, 1921, but at that time the Conference on the Limitation of Armament was in session and the hotels were overcrowded; consequently it was postponed until March 1 and 2, 1922. It was attended by more than four hundred delegates, representing 31 States and 139 cities. In the character of those in attendance, in the quality of the addresses and discussions and in the interest and enthusiasm manifested it was second to none of the sixteen by which it was preceded. As is indicated by its slogan, the National Rivers and Harbors Congress "Advocates a policy, not a project," and throughout its seventeen years of active service it has consistently and loyally maintained an attitude of entire neutrality with reference to individual projects, no matter what their location or their importance. But its conventions have always been maintained as open forums wherein both the advocates and the opponents of proposed improvements might freely state their views and present their arguments. One of the most notable of these full and free discussions of disputed questions will be found in the following pages. The present volume, which is published by authority of the Board of Directors, contains a full report of the proceedings of the Seventeenth Convention, including the addresses delivered, the reports presented and the Declaration of Principles adopted. The student of waterways and of transportation will find much valuable material in its pages. The Directors and Officers desire to express their thanks and appreciation to those members and friends of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress whose generous contributions to the special printing fund made the publication of this volume possible.
