the stone piers and bukhcads OF erection
and to suggest OF preventing waste OF public
moneys in useless experiments Mr.. w. I. Booth
occupied the chair at the meeting yesterday.
When the meeting was called To order dcsuItory
conversation commenced 70 the adysabhty OF apply
ing the Legislature TO suspend further supplies 10 The
Dock Commissioners This sentiment did not meet
Mr. Potter anu Mr. Beers spoke OF tho building Of the
bulkhead between Christopher and Canal streets, but
their ideas did not agree.
Mr. Turnurc OF the Board OF Trade said he IN
dilemma himself He thought Commissioners Wales
and Dimmock meant right and were working Tor the
benefit Of the city. He IN favor OF compromise
and did not think II necessary to bring any thing
conflicting with the Dock Commission before The present
LEGISLATURE. Mr. Wales. he said, was a man whose
character stood very high, and who wiling make
all concessions 70 the commercial interests OF New
York
There was a long discussion among the sub.commit-
tee about tho proper mode Of procedure Mr.. FUR
nure suggested that tho committee OF conference
should recommend that the Dock Commissioners
should suspend all operations docks the
preparations Tor stone masonry had not already been
made aud that tho limit OF expenditure for tue ensuing
year outside OF the necessary repairs houc not exceed
$500,0V0. His suggestions were accepted In re-
spcct to pier No. l, at the Battery II was thought

ing IL out further Among the considerations for
the conference committee to-day, II was thought
the creation OF a commission from the several con-
merci examinations OF the city would he beneficial IN
Obtaining the means necessary 70 examine the workings
OF the Dock Department, which Is looked upon
tremendous extravaganza. The feeling among the
committee yesterday Was that the department. though
controlled bv unexceptionablc men, was in itself a
source OF useless outlay. II was resolved TO recon-
mend that the limit OF expenses of the Dock Commits
sion for the year 1875 apart from necessary repairs
buIkhcads, &c, should not exceed s5C0000. The sub
