THE HARBOR COMMISSION.

I fTOm JoT1etrs Hook % Eight ernth
street, owing to he existing bukbead extending from
Thirteenth to Eighteenth Streets and prOpounded to
that Board the following questions:
!. Can the line from Corear Hook to Thirty
| street be improved by the removal Of part Of the
buikbead between Thirteenth ard Eighteenth streets
80 that part Of the exterior line shall be outside Of
the present filing at the foot Of Fourteenth street
2. Can straight or curved line be laid down from
COrlears Hook to the southeast corner OF said Bulk
head then asng the east front Of the Bukhead to its
northeast corner, without injury to the navigation
g. Can the exterior, pierhead line, along the VIII
ams burgh shore, extend 50 feet further into the chan
| mel, without injury to navigation
To these queries the Advisory Board reply:
l. The Board is OF opinion that the line from Cor
laer's Hook to Thty-eighth street can be improved
| by the removal of part OF the bulkhead between
Thirteenth and Eighteenth streets that part of
the exterior line shall be outside Of the present filling
at the foot of Fourteenth street and that line drawn
in accordance with suggestion would be good "a the
one recommended by the Commissioners and laid
down on the maps.
@ The Board is of opinion that no such line can be
safely drawn as is proposed in this question, because
il would give rise to a hollow or reenerng, curve.
3. The Board is of the opinion that it is not compat
be with the free navigation Of this section of the East
River to allow the pier-head line nj Wiamsburgh to
extend beyond the limit defined in the report OF the
Board.
The Commissioners, therefore, recommend the adop-
ton of exterior line from Coraer's Hook to Thirty
eighth street, which involves the removal of the bulk
head between Thirteenth and Seventeenth streets,
which, they say, is unauthorized either by the State
city.
