CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The Restricting OF Sound and East River
Steamers to Piers Above COrlear's Hook
Rcscinded.
members President Dodge called special meeting
of the Chamber yesterday, TO consider the subject
of allowing the Sound and East River steamers to
pass below Corears Hook, foot Of Jackson street.
Some time ago George w. Blunt succeeded in get
ting the Chamber TO restrict these steamers to the
piers above that point on the East River, with a
view OF giving the downtown piers to the ocean
steamers; but dissatisfaction has resulted, and
hence the call for reconsideration
GEORGE w. Dow moved reconsideration for the
purpose OF permitting discussion. He stated that
the vote he gave In favor of the proposition was
not to advance real estate, as some papers had
charged. The motion to reconsider having been
advocated the restriction Of the steamers to the
locality named on the ground OF humanity AS these
steamers crossed the line OF twenty-One ferries.
He argued that merchants would receive their
goods Just as quickly If landed on the East River
and carted across.
S. b. CHITTENDEN stated that there is not case
on record where life had been lost by collision be-
tween the steamers and the ferryDoats. The terry
boats all know the exact time when they pass, and
can easily avoid collision. 1t would be just as
proper for the Chamber to request the Legislature
to prevent the stages coming below Warren street
as TO restrict the steamers to the East River above
COrears. The objections were numerous, but he
particularly urged the cost OF carriage which would
be immense. He presented a petition signed by
147 mercantile firms asking for the resembling Of
tho resolution. After remarks by II. L. Stuart, +.
+. Shepard and c. = Smith, Mr.. Reid moved to lay
ii on the table, which was lost. The motion to
adopt the minority report, which Is in opposition
to the restrictions, was carried by large majority.
Mr.. CHITrENDEN offered resolution asking the
to any point on the citys 'front.' This was also
adopted, and the Chamber adjourned.
