SCHEME TO BUILD DOCKS.
Rumor That FEsiiionaires Have
Formed a Syndicate.


A New York evening paper today pub
nshed a story relative to the formation
of syndicate OF millionaires to develop
the New Jersey flats at Commun1paw by
the construction of a sea wall and piers
The name of Alexander E. Orr, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, was given
as authority for the statement. He said
This is great scheme, and its de-
yelopment will be a sorry thing for New
York City. One whom all New York
knows as a man of energy, determine
ton and ability told me of the syndicate
only recently. The company is to re-
claim the mud fats on the Jersey coast
from opposite Liberty Island to Robin S
Reef. 1t will build a sea wall along the
shore and construct wharves which will
be leased at once by all the great trans
Atlantic companies and all those coast
lines, which now wharf along the East
and North Rivers.
1T is a great undertaking. but be-
lieve it will be undertaken and carried
out: l cannot divulge the name of the
man to whom the presidency has been
offered. Neither can l give any further
details of the scheme"
Colonel Asa w. Dickinson and Mr.
Charles D. Thompson, counsel for the Ma
tional Docks Storage Company, when
their attention was drawn to the article,
laughed heartily.
THAT sea wall business said Colonel
Dickinson, lis ten or twelve years old.
AS for the syndicate, they have been
nothing in it whatever
Mr.. Thompson was amused at the
great CONSERVATION among the few large
dock owners as the article said His
