DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS.

The Board OF Docks met yesterday afternoon at
their rooms, Leonard street and Broadway, John T..
Agnew presiding.
The Executive Committee reported favOrably on
the petition or John H. Starn that the slip between
piers Nos. and East River be dredged to a depth
OF two feet AT low water at bulkhead. The Board
adopted the committees recommendation, and Or
dered the secretary to nouy Henry Smith. the les
see that the work would be done by the Board and
the bill sent to him for payment.
The same committee recommended that repairs
be made on pier 40 East River, and the New York
Balance Dry Dock Company, lessee of the pier, was
therefore ordered 20 place SIX new piles the west
side OF the pier and replace the backing pieces
where necessary
petition OF W. S. KlotZ. that the Board, at Its
own expense, dredge the slip adjacent TO the bulk
heat foot OF Rivlngton street, was denied by the
Executive Committee, and the Board endorsed the
denial. MIR. KlotZ appeared before the Board to
explain why ne mad made the petition. Two years
ago he procured the lease, but had verbal promises
from the then Comptroller that the slip would be
dredged oy the Board OF Docks, ana though he az.
mlttcu mat by the terms the lease he was bonnd
TO dredge the sllp yet, as matter OF equity, he
Thought he was not The Board advised him to
dredge the slip and Then send in u bill.
commissioner HUNT reported tnat he had invest1-
gated the case OF the New York and Troy Seam
boat Company IN regard 10 the leasing OF the laDd
under che water al part OF pier No. A North River.
The Improvement al the pier covered area OF
noII SUPERFICIAL Ieet OI lhnus WHICH WaS Valueu at
SIS, 600, and ne recommended that his agreement
with the company 10 lease To them the land at an
annual rental OF 81, $50 be adopted. The recon-
mendatiOn was adopted, and the Chairman, on call j.
ing Tor the vote, stated that the Commissioners
having secured from the Commissioner OF Lanas
certain rights over land under the water of the
rivers, had added a very considerable amount OF
property 10 the city.
The Auditing Committee submitted their report
recommending the payment Of sundry bills, amount
ing IN the aggregate 10 $2O 1877 A. the largest item
being So, $50 for once rent, and OF the total
& had ron xuuS
adopted.
The commissioners dId not seem to be very much
discounted by the probable dissolution OF the Board.
some OF them, before the meeting formally opened
ireeiv stated that they did not fear criticism OF their
Official acis, and that the work they mad accom-.
plIshed and the great improvements they had
effected were plain 10 all to be seen. The city
would lose mucn more BY their removal than 1t
couid easily regain. Their familiarity with the de-
partmeDt was IN itself serious consideration, and
the plans ,ney had laid for further improvements
might long remain undeveloped In new and mex
peuenced hands. The department had been all
along aiming TO make the docks and piers OF the
city second 10 those OF no other city In the world.
