VENT USELESS TOWING.

THE DOCK BOARDS PLANs-A PROPOSED SYSTEM
or LoCALIZlNG CLASSES OF SHIPPING.
Another move was made by the Dock Board yes
terday TO relieve the congestion of shipping traffic
below Forty-second-st.. which has become n seri-
Gus problem. the solution OF which shipping men
are awaiting with anxious interest.
The plan OF the Commissioners is embodied In the
following resolution. which was adopted by the
Board yesterday:

called the New-York City Consolidation Act. the
Fifty-second-st the sou;heriy side Of pier new 81,

head between them on the North River, he and
hereby appropriated to the sole use OF canal
boats on and after the 18th OF March. 1885,.
The idea OF the Board. briefly outlined by
President O'Bren yesterday, Is to secure in the
city the greatest possible facility. economy ard
convenience TO shippers and passengers. the most
suitable accommodations for all classes OF vessels.
and safety in the navigation OF all parts of the
harbor. These objects. the Commissioners believe.
VIA be promoted by classifying commerce and
localizing particular kinds Of shipping in particu-
lar sections OF the water front. The greater part
OF the cargoes brought here in canalooats are ce<
livered upon the North River and the towing OF
these around the Battery is needless expense 10
the canal hoamen, as well as needless inconVeni-
ence and source Of delay. and frequently of much
danger to shipping and passenger traffic. Much of
the money now spent by the canal boatmen tor use
less towing will he saved for them, and the con,
venience and safety Of the harbor will ne enhanced
by permitting the canalboat tows 20 stop and be
