<content>The members of the Commission are authorized to administer oaths to witnesses appearing before the Commission and to authorize the taking of depositions in any proceedings; and, for the purpose of conducting its investigations, said Commission shall have full power to issue subpenas and subpenas duces tecum, which shall be as nearly as may be in the form of subpenas issued by district <sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Refusals to obey subpena.</p></sidenote>courts of the United States. In case of contumacy by or refusal to obey a subpena issued to, any person, the Commission may invoke the aid of any court of the United States within the jurisdiction of which such investigation or proceeding is carried on, or where such person resides or carries on business, in requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books, papera, correspondence, memoranda, and other records. Upon the filing of the <page identifier="/us/stat/50/87">87</page>application for such aid with the clerk of the court the court shall, either in term time or vacation, forthwith enter an order of record, requiring such person to appear before such court at a time stated in the order not more than ten days from the entry of the order (unless for good cause shown such time is extended), and show cause why he should not be required to obey such subpena, and upon his failure to show cause it shall be the duty of the court to order such witness to appear before the said Commission and give such testimony or produce such evidence as may be lawfully required by said Commission. The district court, either in term time or vacation,<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Contempt; punishment.</p></sidenote> shall have full power to punish for contempt as in other cases of refusal to obey the process and order of such court.

<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Whereas, the narrow draw-span of said wooden pile railroad bridge the sole facility permitting passage of water traffic up and down said river is wholly inadequate to permit the passage of steamers and vessels of broad beam from the sea inland to serve the large industrial plants now situate on the banks of said river and therefore constitutes an obstacle to further enlargement of these industries and the development of numerous other industrial sites located so that passage through said bridge is absolutely necessary; and</recital>
<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Whereas, the only remedy for the conditions now existing is the construction of a bridge across said river which by coordinating the facilities required by vehicular and railroad traffic will remove the obstacle to water traffic; and</recital>
<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Whereas, the solution to this problem will result in great economy and benefit not only to the states of Maine and New Hampshire but to the nation and will require the cordial cooperation of the states of New Hampshire and Maine in the encouragement of the investment of capital as well as the formulation and execution of the necessary plans and such result can best be accomplished through the joining of the two states of Maine and New Hampshire by and through a common agency.</recital>

Such bonds may be registrable as to principal alone or both principal and interest, shall be in such form not inconsistent with this Act, shall mature at such time or times not exceeding twenty-five years from their respective dates, shall be in such denominations, shall be executed in such manner, and shall be payable in such medium and at such place or places as <sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Repurchase, redemption, etc.</p></sidenote>the Commission may determine. The Commission may repurchase and may reserve the right to redeem all or any of said bonds before maturity in such manner and at such price or prices, not exceeding one hundred and five and accrued interest, as may be fixed by the Commission prior to the issuance of the bonds.

The Commission may enter into an agreement with any bond or trust company in the United States as trustee having the power to make such agreement, setting forth the duties of the Commission in respect of the construction, maintenance, operation, repair, and insurance of the bridge and/or the ferry or ferries, the conservation and application of all funds, the safeguarding of money on hand or on deposit, and the rights and remedies of said trustee and the holders of the bonds, restricting the individual right of<page identifier="/us/stat/50/643">643</page> action of the bondholders as is customary in trust agreements respecting bonds of corporation. Such trust agreement may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the trustee and the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not inconsistent with the law and also provisions for approval by the original purchasers of the bonds of the employment of consulting engineers and of the security given by the bridge contractors and by any bank or trust company in which the proceeds of bonds or of bridge or ferry tolls or other moneys of the Commission shall be deposited, and may provide that no contract for construction shall be made without the approval of the consulting engineers.</proviso></p>

The<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Financing costs, etc.</p></sidenote> cost of the bridge and approaches and approach highways, and ferry or ferries, shall be deemed to include interest during construction of the bridge, and for twelve months thereafter, and all engineering, legal, architectural, traffic-surveying, and other expenses incident to the construction of the bridge or the acquisition of the ferry or ferries, and the acquisition of the necessary property, and incident to the financing thereof, including the cost of acquiring existing franchises, right, plans, and works of and relating to the bridge, now owned by any person, firm or corporation, and the cost of purchasing all or any part of the shares of stock of any such corporate owner if, in the judgment of the Commission, such purchases should be found expedient.

<content>“There is hereby created a body corporate and politic with the name and style of ‘Palisades Interstate Park Commission’ (for brevity hereinafter referred to as ‘the commission’) which shall be a joint corporate municipal instrumentality of both the state of New York and the state of New Jersey for the purpose of effecting the objects of this compact and which shall be deemed to be performing governmental functions of the two states in the performance of its duties hereunder. The commission shall have power to sue and be sued, to use a common seal and to make and adopt suitable by-laws. The commission shall consist of ten members, five of whom shall be citizens and residents of the state of New York and five of whom shall be citizens and residents of the state of New Jersey. For the purpose of doing business the members of the commission shall constitute a board. The present members of the two state boards shall be the first members of the commission for their respective states for the remainder of the terms for which they were respectively appointed. Each member of the commission shall be a citizen and resident of the state of which his predecessor was a citizen and each member of the commission other than the first members shall be appointed by the governor of the state of which his predecessor was a citizen, by and with the approval of the senate of such state. Each member shall take an oath of office to perform faithfully all of the duties of his office according to the best of his ability. Such oath of office may be administered by any officer of the state of which such member is a citizen who is authorized to take oaths of office of any state officer and shall be filed in the office of the secretary of state of such state. The term of office of each member other than said first members shall be five years. Each member shall hold office until his successor shall have been appointed and shall have taken his oath of office, but each term shall be deemed to commence at the end of the preceding five-year term regardless of when the incumbent is appointed or takes the oath of office. If a member shall cease to be a citizen and resident of the state for which he was appointed he shall cease to be a member of the commission. If a member of the commission shall die, resign, be removed, refuse to act, or cease to be a citizen and resident of the state for which he was appointed, the vacancy so created shall be filled, for the unexpired term only, by the appointment of a citizen and resident of the state of which such member was a citizen by the governor thereof, by and with the approval of the senate of such state. Each member of the commission may be removed from office for neglect of duty or misconduct in office by the governor of the state of which such member is a citizen after giving such member a copy of the charges against him and an opportunity of being publicly heard in person or by counsel or both in his own defense, upon not less than ten days’ notice. No member of the commission shall receive any compensation for his services as a member, but each member shall be entitled to receive his actual disbursements for his expenses in performing the duties of his office. The commission shall annually choose a president, a vice-president, a treasurer and a secretary from among its members and may also appoint such other officers as it may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this compact.</content>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Sous chaque jeu de bossoirs doit être attachée une embarcation de la Classe I. Si les embarcations de sauvetage attachées aux bossoirs ne fournissent pas une place suffisante pour recevoir toutes les personnes présentes à bord, on doit installer des embarcations additionnelles de l’un des types réglementaires. Tout d’abord une embarcation additionnelle doit être placée sous chacune des embarcations attachées aux bossoirs. Lorsque celles-ci auront été installées, le reste des embarcations sera placé en retrait. Toutefois les diverses Administrations, si elles estiment que les radeaux de sauvetage sont plus rapidement utilisables et par ailleurs plus efficaces que les embarcations de sauvetage, en cas d’urgence, peuvent permettre d’installer des radeaux de sauvetage, pourvu que la capacité totale des embarcations du navire soit au moins égale au minimum fixé par la Colonne C du tableau inséré à la Règle XXXIX.</p>

<p class="firstIndent0 fontsize10">El Gobierno de Panamá adoptó las leyes y reglamentos de los Estados Unidos para el aforo de los barcos al ser matriculados, por medio de su Resolución N° 1, de 5 de Enero de 1937, que establece la reglamentación del tonelaje (Véase la <i>Gaceta Oficial</i> de Panamá, de 8 de Enero de 1937). Esto le fué debidamente comunicado a Vuestra Excelencia, para su información, en mi nota N° D–21, de 22 de Enero de 1937 y en respuesta Vuestra Excelencia solicitó que se le informara acerca de las opiniones de mi Gobierno respecto a la propuesta de un arreglo recíproco para la aceptación de los certificados de matrícula y del apéndice de tonelaje especial en los puertos de ambos países.</p>
<p class="firstIndent0 fontsize10">Conforme a instrucciones de mi Gobierno, tengo ahora el honor de avisar a Vuestra Excelencia que los barcos de los Estados Unidos que lleven certificado de matrícula u otros documentos nacionales que prueben su tonelaje neto según aforo y que se les hayan expedido conforme a las leyes y reglamentos de los Estados Unidos, quedarán exentos de reaforo en todos los puertos de la República de Panamá, con tal que los barcos de matrícula panameña que hayan sido aforados o medidos de conformidad con la antedicha resolución y que porten certificado de matrícula u otros documentos nacionales que demuestren su tonelaje neto según aforo verificado así, quedarán recíprocamente exentos de reaforo en todos los puertos de los Estados Unidos.</p>
<p class="firstIndent0 fontsize10">Se tiene entendido además, que los barcos para pasajeros, de Panamá y de los Estados Unidos, portarán un Apéndice de Tonelaje especial con cada una de sus matrículas, para probar todos los espacios destinados a pasajeros y que las leyes de los Estados Unidos no requieren actualmente que se les mida para su matriculación, anexos que se usarán para determinar los derechos de puerto y otros impuestos que se basan en el tonelaje neto de los barcos.</p>

<p class="indent0 fontsize10">An opportunity for all of our people to obtain the education that<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">American Education Week.</p></sidenote> will best fit them for their life work and their responsibilities as citizens is the ideal of American education. It is an ideal which has been a vital factor in our national development since 1647 when the General Court of Massachusetts enacted the historic measure providing for an elementary school in every township of fifty householders and a grammar school in every town of one hundred families “to instruct youth so fair as they may be fited for y<sup>e</sup> university”. In the expansion of the nation the school has moved with the frontier, and time and experience have demonstrated that universal education is essential to national progress.</p>
<p class="indent0 fontsize10">It is accordingly with a feeling of earnest gratification that we note the improvement which has taken place with respect to the educational situation in the United States. Teaching positions which were eliminated during the depression years are being restored and teachers’ salaries have returned to pre-depression levels in an encouraging number of school systems, colleges, and universities. There has been a steady increase in the attendance of students at elementary schools, high schools, and colleges.</p>
<page identifier="/us/stat/50/1774">1774</page>

<p class="indent0 fontsize10">The victims of this grave disaster are dependent upon the American Red Cross for food, shelter, fuel, medical care and warm clothing. I have instructed the various agencies of the Federal Government to cooperate to the fullest extent with the Red Cross authorities.</p>
<p class="indent0 fontsize10">In order that the Red Cross may meet these immediate emergency needs and continue to care for these unfortunates until the waters have receded and they can be returned to their homes, it is imperative that a minimum relief fund of two million dollars be raised as speedily as possible. We are looking to this great national relief agency to act as our representative in this emergency.</p>
