NKW YOKK. August :*.0 - The
gieatest water-front improvement
here in .'*0 years, involving the nmov
al of ::2 antiquated piers along the
Hudson River, and the erection in
th*»; -toad of is new and vastly larg
er pie: > of latest design, has been
planned by Murray Hulbeit. eontmis
sioner of docks, and approved by the
Sinking Fund Commission. The im
provement will cost SoO.OOO.OOO am!
will require 10 years to complete.
W«> k is expected to be >ta ted next
spring.
fhis with the pro|H>sod vehicular
t'lTine1 to New Jcisey is expected to
solve New York‘s west side dock pro
Mem. The new water-fiont system is j
to consist of w ide pi*us. slips and mar- (
ginal >treets. with warehouses and
tracks where available in the rear.
-Hi.- cost of const met ion is expect
ed to pay for itself within four years
tiiii*/* according to Deputy Dock Com
missioner Michael Cosgrove. “A per
manent sea wall has been built along
the entire stretch, no rock will be en
countered to make a depth of 40 feet
anO most of the real estate is owned
by the city.
•‘These new pier- will increase the
pier storage area aO percent if they
atv made only one-story.” -aid Mr.
Cosgiove. ‘"l*ut because of the high
1
value of this waterfront it will be ui»- ^
♦
economical to stop even at two-stories.'
Thov will have the most modem up- :
pliancos for rapid handling of freight, j
m Tiding electric cranes, helpers and j
hoists of all kinds.
••The present lower North River
water-front is just what it was in Ifc
71. Its slips are so narrow then* is not
room in them at once for two big
steamships. To afford relief the War
iVpuilimnt has three times permitt
ed the pier headlines to extend furth
i
er oiitshore. The more these narrow
piers were brought out, the worse the
slips became, because boats have been
continually growing bigger.”
• The new plan,” said President K.
H I .a (luaidia of th* Hoard o' Aider
men. “means that New York is going
to have In piers from 030 to 1,0*23 feet
in length in place of the *»2 dilapidated
structures which are a disgrace to the I
cit\. l!ftwe**n each pier there will be
a maximum dockage space of .*100 feet
and a minimum of 273 foot. Two of
