Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Port of Philadelphia The opening of the Erie Canal caused a decline in the commerce of Philadelphia, while it greatly stimulated that of New York, since it increased immensely the territory tributary to that centre. It did not violate the general law relative to the location of the proper site for our city, viz: at the point of transfer between land and water carriage, or at the head of navigation, but it modified the conditions and enabled both New. York and Chicago to surpass us, in consequence of their terminal positions, on a line of less resistance, reaching a larger territory. The reason for the locus of transfer being found at the head of navigation for ocean vessels, will become apparent upon a moment's reflection. While land and water traffic are reciprocal, it must be remembered that'the water pro duces comparatively nothing while the cost of movement over it is much less than that on land. Hence the more land there is surrounding a navigable channel to the sea, the greater will be the commerce. A city on the border of an extended and straight coast-line, as Norfolk, for instance, will have but a semi-circular area to draw from; one which is on a reentrant angle, like New York, will have three fourths of the circle tributary to her port; while one that is in the heart of a continent, as Chicago, will have nearly the full circle, and hence for equal land rates of transportation and an equivalent population, the latter will have a great advantage as a shipping point. If there were a deep draught channel from Chicago to the sea, wh ersby the break of bulk at Buffalo and New York might be avoided, the water rate would be still lower, and the advantage of the terminals be even greater.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Port of Philadelphia: Its Facilities and Advantages The local administrative authority of the Port of Philadelphia was exercised from the year 1766 until 1907 by the Board of Wardens for the Port of Philadelphia which was a State and City department. This system, however, was changed by an Act of the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania approved June 8, 1907, which abolished the Board of Wardens, the Harbor Master and Master Warden and divided their duties between the Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries, a municipal department, and the Board of Commissioners of Navigation for the River Delaware and its Navigable Tributaries, a State Board. Under the provisions of this Act of Assembly, the Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries was given jurisdiction over the piers in the City of Philadelphia, the Director of the Department, who is appointed by the Mayor of the City, having large executive powers. He has authority to condemn and improve wharf property and is vested with other powers which have served to greatly stimulate the up-building of a modern port. There is maintained and operated by this Department a municipal dredging plant, as well as a fleet of ice boats to keep open the channel in the winter season. It might be well to mention that since the advent of the high powered steamers, which have superseded the sailing craft, the keeping open of the channel, even during the most severe winters, is no longer difficult and the work of the ice boat fleet has been minimized.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ports on the Delaware River Below and Above Philadelphia, Pa Ports Should not have to depend upon the good will or selfish inter ests Of either railroads or steamship lines to develop business. The railroads may prefer to have the business go elsewhere, and the water carriers could scarcely be expected to undertake extensive Operations designed to bring goods to a particular port. In other words, the development of traffic should be regarded as one Of the permanent functions of the port itself. Among the important Objects, therefore, which it is hoped to attain from this series Of reports is a more general appreciation Of the benefits to be derived from the adoption Of a com prehensive plan and policy for the development and utilization Of the port. Acknowledgment is made of the cooperation and assistance ren dered by various port organizations, shipping interests, facility own ers, city Officials, and other local interests in the work Of compiling data for inclusion in this report.

There was something more to come. No one could think it. History was made quick and lively that night. Didn't the Mayor appear in the Royal Row, you see no one was expecting him, not there just then, and it made every one stare. But, dear me, when they saw a train of clerks close on his heels carrying a lot of big musty old books, they stared all the harder.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philadelphia Book, or Specimens of Metropolitan Literature Inferior, but not mean geniuses are also to be found in our rising city. I see Nicholas Scull, the geographer, who published the first correct map of Pennsylvania; I see Ralph, who, though he will never reach a very high grade, will, nevertheless, be distinguished in England as a poet, an historian, and a political writer. He was unjustly treat ed by the illustrious Pope, whose vanity would not suf fer the little birds to sing, and showed jealousy when he ought to have bestowed encouragement and kindness. Others of lesser note might be named, who, not wanting in talents, left nothing behind them by which to be re membered by posterity.
