THE VALUE OF STATEN ISLAND Ian

THE VALUE OF STATEN ISLAND LAND.
At the Office of Stewart g. Boardman, No. 40
Wallst, yesterday the testimony was concluded and
and Vermiye in the matter OF the application Of The
Staten Island Rapid Transit Railroad Company acquire
title 10 certain real estate OF which Samuel Barton and
others OWNERS. The company represented by
Albert B. Boardman and George J. Greenfield, and the
respondents by Jesse johnson. The property in conro
versy about 900 feet OF waterfront backed by upland
average depth Of 400 feet adjoining the property Of
the American Docks.
Mr. Barton said that he had caused surveys 10 be made
for road and that the building Of the rapid transit road
the line proposed would deprecate the value OF his
property and interfere with the plans Of the Staten Island
Terminal Railroad Company.
Franklin b. Gowen, president Of the Phil
adephla and Reading Railroad said that
the New7Jersey shore OF New-York harbor was
already occupied for terminal purposes and that for sew
era his attention had been turned 10 property on
coal He had always thought that the coal interests OF
Pennsylvania and Maryland would ultimately demand
terminal facilities Staten Island near the NewJersey
shore. All the property Staten Island on deep water
he said had great prospective value, as all the heaVy
freight would ultimately go there.
Mr. Boardman told reporter THE TRIBUNE that II was
intended to build the rapid transit road from Richmond
the south, along the shore OF Staten Island 70
point opposite 10 EZabethpOrt. One object was TO in
the facilities OF communication between Staten
Island and NewYork and another to increase the value
OF real estate and the waterfront. All the property
owners he said, In favor Of It, except Ar Barton
John III. Starn also opposed TO 1t because II would
diminish his yearly profits from his ferry.
