HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TUESDAY, May 8, 1928

The House met at 12 o'clock noon. The Chaplain, Rev. James Shera Montgomery, D. D., offered the following prayer:

Blessed Lord and Master, Thy bountiful mercy is our hope and trust. We are here not in our own strength but through the loving-kindness and condescension of our Heavenly Father. Each day Thou dost set the marks of loveliness upon the face of Thy creation. Unto us do Thou send forth Thy light, that we may fulfill the measure of duty that is made plain to us. Enrich us with the fruitful joys of the Christian's faith; may they be our shield and our defense. Redeem our country from enmities and jealousies. Shadow it everywhere with the sweet, gracious sentiment of brotherhood. Teach us that the lasting treasure of life is the presence of Him who quiets all alarms and stills the soul with heavenly peace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Journal of the proceedings of yesterday was read and approved.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION AND SURVEY OF EASTCHESTER CREEK, N. Y.

Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to extend my remarks in the RECORD on the preliminary examination and survey of Eastchester Creek, N. Y.

The SPEAKER. The gentleman from New York asks unanimous consent to extend his remarks in the RECORD. Is there objection?

There was no objection.

Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the House, some time ago I introduced a bill, H. R. 9604. The object of this bill is to provide for a preliminary examination and survey of the Eastchester Creek to determine such improvements as may be necessary to meet with increasing transpor

tation.

The Members of this House are not familiar with this creek I refer to, which is also known as Hutchinson River. It empties into Eastchester Bay, an indentation 3 miles long and 1,000 feet to 11⁄2 miles wide, in the north shore of Long Island Sound, immediately east of Throggs Neck, 12 miles west of the Connecticut State line, and 21 miles by water east of the Battery, New York City. Its course is 9 miles slightly west of north from the head of the bay. The navigable section of the creek is tidal, is 100 feet to 1,000 feet in width, and extends about 212 miles above its mouth. The approach through the bay is approximately 600 feet wide, with a controlling depth of 5 feet at mean low water. Four bridges cross the creek, two near the mouth, one a highway bridge and the other a railroad bridge, one highway bridge at Boston Post Road, and the other at Fulton Avenue.

There has been no permanent improvement proposed since 1910. Since that time transportation has increased from 800 to 1,000 per cent, and it would increase considerably more if this river was improved by deepening and widening the channel so that larger boats could enter it. At the present time the channel is supposed to be 5 feet deep at low tide, but if it is not dredged out frequently it is less than that.

I have been petitioned by a number of business men both in Westchester County and Bronx County to try and get some permanent improvement; among those are

Hon. James Berg, mayor city of Mount Vernon, N. Y.
J. F. Mahlsted, president Mahlsted Lumber & Coal Co.
G. T. Macbeth, representing the Westchester Lighting Co.
John F. Fee, secretary and treasurer William J. Fee Coal Co.
William Hart Hussey, secretary H. B. Pruser Coal Co.
Theodore S. Trimmer, president T. S. Trimmer Coal Co.
Frank J. Howard, representing the Sylvestre Oil Co.
Frank Zeltray, representing the Beacon Oil Co.
Philip Levene, president Pelham Manor Coal & Transfer Co.
Joseph S. Yendell, representing the Excelsior Lubrication Co.

Roy J. Garofano, vice president Garofano Construction Co.
Alfred F. Barbaresi, of A. Barbaresi & Son, builders and contractors.
A. P. Brooks, president the Wilson & Adams Co.

C. O. Beck, manager the Bang Service Station (Inc.).

A. Aurisy, secretary Hutchinson River Supply Co. (Inc.).
Petrillo Bros. (Inc.), Eastchester Creek.

James V. Petrillo, secretary Carlo Petrillo Dock & Supply Co.
Harold Ferlard, manager Valvoline Oil Co.

Suburban Lumber Co., Boston Road, Eastchester, N. Y.

The Home News of the Bronx, which enters the home of nearly every family in that county.

The Mount Vernon Argus, Mount Vernon, N. Y.

The Pelham News, Pelham, N. Y.

Hon. Thomas H. O'Neil.

Hon. Robert L. Moran, county clerk Bronx County.

Hon. Albert G. Halberstadt, president Century Mills Paper Co. Hon. John J. Hanley.

Hon. Thomas J. McDonald.
Hon. Christopher C. McGrath.
Hon. William A. Keating.
Hon. Edwin W. Fiske.
August Miller.

Paul A. Vaccarelli.
Joseph A. Carey.

R. J. Jennings, president Eastchester Creek Association.
Daniel V. O'Connell and Hon. Edward R. Koch.

I would like to impress upon this body the great necessity of this waterway. The river is bounded on the north by Westchester County and the south by Bronx County. If the river was widened so that large boats could navigate it would be a great benefit to over one quarter of a million people, and there is no part of our country to-day that is building so rapidly as the northern end of the Bronx and the southern end of Westchester County, which takes in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Pelham, and New Rochelle. At the present time at low tide it is extremely difficult for three or four boats to use this creek at the same time, and if this improvement is made, it would lower the prices on building materials, oils, fuel, and all kinds of merchandise, and I believe that our Government owes the people of this section the improvement such as I am asking for. I hope that the Rivers and Harbors Committee will favorably report this bill and that prompt action will be taken on it by the House.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS

Mr. CONNERY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members of the House who wish to do so may extend their remarks in eulogy of the late JAMES A. GALLIVAN.

The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Massachusetts asks unanimous consent that all Members who wish to do so may extend their remarks in eulogy of the late Representative GALLIVAN. Is there objection? There was no objection.

DIRECT MARKETING OF HOGS

Mr. COCHRAN of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to extend my remarks in the RECORD by answering the argument of the gentleman from Kansas [Mr. HOPE] on the packers and stockyards bill.

The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Missouri asks unanimous consent to extend his remarks in the RECORD in the manner indicated. Is there objection?

There was no objection.

Mr. COCHRAN of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, on February 29 the gentleman from Kansas [Mr. HOPE] addressed the House on the subject of the Capper-Hope bill and the direct marketing of hogs. I have studied this question and have some facts and figures that should be welcomed. These relate to certain statements made by the gentleman from Kansas.

Of primary importance was a question as to whether or not the bill introduced by the gentleman from Kansas would affect smaller packers. He was asked how the owner or the manager of a particular plant in Iowa, for example, was going to buy his hogs unless he buys them direct from a farmer. The gentleman from Kansas stated that his bill would not affect such a situation at all and that he did not think his bill would apply to towns with no public stockyards. The fact of the matter is the bill by its very language positively is applicable to so-called smaller packing plants owning private receiving yards. The same question came up during recent hearings before the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry and at the hearing Dr. Arthur W. Miller, chief of the stockyards and packers division of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, indicated very definitely that the bill would apply to such plants. The bill positively would be applicable to all packing houses, small as well as large, owning pens where they receive livestock direct from farmers who have elected to sell their property direct to the packer.
