The Magyar las ssadeFeda very essential ssFvieo
To the mercantile community mot only OF the city,
but of the State by his veto Of the ordinance Tor
granting the exclusive use oil Pier No. 4, N. H.,
to the Troy and Erie tow-boat line. vast ma
jorty of our citizens not aware OF the princi-
pie which that grant was sought to establish.
The land under water which surrounds the city,
belongs to the people of the State--the right 10
construct piers is ceded to individuals fJr public
benefit and accommodation, and with the express
condition that no more shall be charged for the
, le of such piers than the rates specified by
statute.
For public good, power has been given to
the Corporation, upon the application of the own
ers OF such piers, to appropriate them "for the
exclusive use ofsteamboats, or of any other class
or description of vessels" But the law gives no
power to such proprietors to ask or claim from
those 60 whom such exclusive grant may be
made, greater amount for the hire or use of the
pier than that which is specified by the act Of
1918. The grant of Pier No. 4 is sought, that the
principle may be established Uor the propretors OF
the other piers in the North River,) that they may
be let or leased to the highest bidder and taken
from the control Of the harbor masters appointed
by the State Government If this should be al
tanned, there would cease to be any regular rate
of Wharfage; nor would there, in few years, be
single wharf or pier within the limits of the
city government that a ship could Of right use.
The success, therefore, OF the proprletors OF
Pier No. 4, would do more to destroy and hamper
the commerce of the port than fire or pestllence.
1t is to be hoped that the Common Council will
sustain the Mayor in the course which he has SO
nobly taken.
