After the reading Of the communication, Mr Lober
continued his remarks and argued for the proposed ex
tensiun fixed upon by property-hol1ers along the
lre and showing by the statutes OF the State of New
Yoik that the Corporation had unlimited power in fix
ing the exterior limits Of the city 1t appeared from
statements that the Harbor Commissioners desired TO
establish wet basins from Eg hteenth street TO Thirty
eighth street. similar to the London docks ,mend
ed to the Legislature Jap g. 1856, but they had after
wald modified this by other propositions and sng-
ges,ioDs.
Mr.. Lober said that they had been two years con-
siderDg the matter but had not yet settled upon
any definite plan of action The Harbor Commission
ers would probably receive some $4,000 for their
marks with general ,eathng of the Hsrbor Commits
siobers aud the Legislature who, he remarked,
would endeavor to take as much power from the
Common Council as possible.
The Committee adjourned sine die on this matter.
