HARBoR ENCRoACHMENTs-TH BROOKLYN PIER
EXTENSION.

About IA years ago the State of New-York
appointed Dallas Bach Chief Of the u Coast Survey
Gen. James @. Totten, u. s. Engineer, and Admiral
Charles H. Davis u s. NJ Commissioners to fix the pier
lines OF NewYOrk Harbor. These men, selected because
of their being unlikely TO yield to local Influences,
reported in 1857 the result Of their labOrs. The
State accepted their report which fixed the pier lines at
certain limits and then turned the custody Of the har
Dor over to the HarbOr Pilot Commissioners who have
done all they could since that time TO prevent the
croachments Of unprincpled men upon IL. Whenever
change contemplated the custOdans OF the harbor
were informed OF IT, and any remonstrance they made
generally needed.
At the last session ofthe Legislature Senator Pierce Of
Kings county, engineered bill through both houseg
creating hundred and fifty feet extension Of the
pier lines the Brooklyn side This IN the opinion Of
the Pilot Commissioners and all OF the pilots at present
operating in the harb0r cannot fail to prove detrimental
TO the current Gen. Newton the u. 3. Engineer
officer in charge OF the works IN the harbor has also de-
clared that the contemplated extension will be dis
astrOus protest, signed by ffty-eigbt pilots
Pilot Commissioners, and Others sent ~ Gov. HOf
man. who replied that he would withhold his signature
from the bill until the matter had been thoroughly
Investigated II is said that the only persons benefited
by the extension are number OF land spectators in
Brooklyn, who have large interests the water front
The most active legislative advocate OF the "Ob" is
Democrat n the upper House, who is said TO be inhu
eneed by consideration OF 0 which he is TO receive
as soon as 1t has been put through successfully.
