ginning Of work on the improvements Mr.. Cram
said that the riparian rights along the East River
at the places where the Improvements were TO be
made could be acquired by the city without great
expense and that the entire work would not cost
more than 100000 The entire need not be spent
AZ once, but money could be drawn gradually from
the yearly allowance of $3Oyo00 for such improve
mens. AS person appeared to object to the plans
for the Improvement OF the East River piers, the
Sinking Fund Commission approved the plans Mr..
Cram said that the work could be begun by Friday
