or Pay His Rent.
Tim Shea won yesterday the first round in
his fight with the New York Oystermen's Asso-
citation for the possession Of the bulkhead and
pier set apart for the exclusive use OF the
oystermen. Judge O'Gorman granted per-
emptory mandamus compelling the Dock De-
partinent to remove the floating business
houses " which the oystermen have hitched to
the bulkhead. The bulkhead extends 30S feet
north of new Pier Al, North River. and the
lease includes tho short pier Just beyond. Tim
Shea outbld the oystermen last May for the
lease, obtaining it for two years at yearly
rental OF $l0.250. Shea says that over since he
gave away the doin2s of the association
a, year ago at the dock Investigation,
about the $4,000 they raised to secure
their hold on the bulkhead. the Oyster
mems Association has been fighting him.
Having got the lease. he m decided 10 demand
rent from the other oystermen who had Il, ats
fixed to the bulkhead. at a rate sufficient to
cover his rental and insure him against cost OF
repairs and the like THIS was an advance OF
