PROMISED 4 bULKHEAD.
But, It Is Alleged, Another
Party Was Secretly Put
in Possession.
PRESENT BOARD IS SHOCKED.
The Company Claims 1t Was Put
to an Expense Of More
than n Million.

W. c. Andrews. President Of the New
York Steam Company, appeared before
Mayor Strcngs Reform Dock Com
missioners to-day and made the sweep
ing statement that former Dock Boards
had cheated them for fourteen years.
His company made formal applica-
tion to lease the bulkheads between
new piers "a and 25. North River. for
tho reception of coal.
He said his company consumed about
LOCO tons Of coal per day. and 1t was
necessary that 1t have a bulkhead
contiguous to Its plant. The Morgan
steamship line also showed that the
business OF the company necessitated
the use Of the bulkhead in question.
President Andrews said that for years
his company had been promised the
lease Of the bulkhead at the foot of Dey
street by former Boards. 1t was the IN
tention to construct an underground
system for the TRANSPORTATION of the
coal to the plant and with that end in
view had purchased property to the
value of $l.3O0.OOO.
But all of the Boards, he said, failed
to keep their promises and the prop
erty it had purchased was practic-
ally worthless.
He said there was vacant wharfage
between the piers leased by the Ameri-
can line and John II. Starin which he
had tried to lease. but neither of the
lessees would part with it.
Chief Engineer Greene acknowledged
that 1t was alwayr understood that
the New York Steam Company was to
have the lease OF the bulkhead at the
foot OF Dey street and that the old
Board had leased 1t without affording
the company an opportunity to bid on It,
President O'Brien said he was greatly
surprised that the old Board would
lease property to one person without
giving another an opportunity to bid on
It when its members knew the other
was anxious to possess it.
He thought a great injustice had been
done the New York Steam Company by
such action and that 1t was also a loss
to the city.
The Board laid the matter over for a
week,
