FORsAKING THE OLD IRON PIER.

The Iron Steamboat COMPANY no longer uses

the new per, which IL the more ca Iery OF me Two,
is opposite Cables, and IS owned by tie Bri2hton
Pier Company.
The secretary of the steamboat company said
Yesterday that the change made for the sake
Of convenience to the public as well as TO them
selves. People often puzzled and had to 90
from one pier to The other. The new pier was also
more convenient to the attractive parts OF the
beach. and the landing wa generally easier. There
is peaty of deep water" he SAID, lat the end or
the new pier while the old pier Is accessible only
through channel, large shoal having formed
lately to the westward of iT. Having the boats all
land at one pier is also less expensive 10 the com
pany although the old pier is leased for landing for
Eve years"
"Is not another reason for the change the fact
that the old pier has lately been opened Tree TO the
pubic I" ~
"Well, perhaps so. though l do not like to say
So"
meeting of the directors of the old PIER was to
have been held yesterday. but all were absent IN
the country except Mr.. Loew. meeting will be
held at No. 65 South-st. at p. IN. to-day. Mr.
Loew wrote letter TO the president OF the steam
boat company in regard TO the change, which
necessarily draws some traffic from the res
old pier Mr. Loew saws the stopping
of the boats is remarkable and unwalrantcd And
he demands that the boats shall stop OF the old
pier as they have been announced 10 DO. lie AYERS
that the pubic convenience requires IL, ana the
