THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY WAR.
A LETTER EXPLANATORY OF THE LAW POINTS
INVOLVED.

A LETTER EXPLANATORY or THE LAW POINTS
INVOLVED.
To THE EDITOR oR THE HERALD
Hostilities between the staten Island ferry
pancs appear to be quiescent state at the present
writing and both parties resting upon their arms
The question, however, up before the Board OF
Pilot Commissioners yesterday, when tho officers Of
the New York and Staten Island Ferry Company GAR
ncr's line made the following showing
BY an act passed by the Legislature in 1857 estab-
fishing bulkhead and pier head lines it ordered
that pier should BIO constructed within 100 feet OF
another pier.
The Legislature OF 1873 without restriction except
that Go and sons shall fish on said shore !"
granted 10 certain parties full title and interest In al
riparian properties lying tho cast shore OF Staten
Island Under this act the New York and Staten Island
Ferry Company, by purchase and legal succession or
title, became actual owners OF portion OF the shore,
and built out pier commensurate with their
need. Long previous to this however, the old wan
derblt company had constructed a landing for their
ferryboats and when tho pier In progress they
complained that the law OF 1857 had been broken by
the new company and that pier could be legally
erected within 100 feet OF their There Is more
than one point in the case and the first appears TO be
whether grantees of land under water according to acts
OF the Legislature, have any ownership under such
grant, or whether subsequent legislation can sweep
away all previous action In word is the Legislature
consttutionaly capable Of passing retroactive laws
The second point Is whether the Vanderbilt people
have legal objection or not They claim to possess
pier They also claim that opposing parties shall
erect pier within 100 feet Of their landing Are they
right or wrong? pier, by the act OF 1857 shall not
exceed seventy feet In width The landing place OF the
Staten Island Railway Company 163 feet inches in
width II extends more than ten feet beyond the bulk
head line By the law II is neither pier bukhead,
but nondescrp without legal name, nuisance which
should and must be abated The Garner line contends
that the Vanderbilt faction is in possession OF and using
for its interest construction (call IL bulkhead pier
you willy that Is in contraventon Of the laws of the
State, and demand that II shall be modified to meet
those laws; laws that be shown operative upon
grants under water prior to the passage of tho law OF
1857. The North shore Ferry Company is perfectly
willing to rest its upon its legal rights, but do
cnes to submit to any act of terrorism the part OF
Pilot Commissioners or any other party acting in
quas-legal capacity.
