are in the line Of the proposed approach, and
many OF the buildings are double decker tene-
roent houses, costing great deal Of money. All
the tenants must be out by July 3. as on July

The assessed valuation Of the hundred
and fifty parcels is S1,4S6, 100. but this is
about 80 per cent of the actual valuation, and
as the city is forcing the holder to sell. it is
expected that the parcels will cost the city be-
tween 100000 and S4.u00,0O0, and perhaps
exceed even the latter figure.

DENIES LONG LEASE TO ICE TRUST.

REASON WHY APPLICATION FOR BULKHEAD
WAS NOT GRANTED
The Dock Board yesterday denied the application
az the American Ice Company for a lease for ten
wears of the bulkhead between Piers % and 90.
East River.
William H. Burke, secretary of the Dock Board,
said last night that the application of the Ameri-
can Ice Company had been denied because 1t was
thought by the commissioners that the of the
bulkhead should be reserved for merchants of that
neighborhood Another reason that the Dock
Board was trying to have the street wdened there.
The granting of leases to the ice company of
piers at other places the river front. said Mr..
Burke. would depend the needs OF other business
men for such privileges.

yard, will start Wednesday on cruise in
European waters She will carry 4JO lands
men, which together with her regular
crew, will make her complement nearly
100 men More than usual interest is at
tached TO her departure for the reason that
the vessel will follow the example of the

Intention of her commander. Capt. Hutch
ms He says that there is more water in
Hell Gate than in the narrOws. and he does
not think there is the slightest danger in
going to sea by that passage. especially
as the big battleship Massachusetts dem
nnstrated that it could be done with per
feet safety The order issued by Secretary
Long prohibiting warShips from using the
Hell Gate route was issued Just after the
Massachusetts went through. and applied
only to battleshipS- The Massachusetts has
a displacement of 10.2SS tons, while the
displacement of the Buffalo is but G. SsS

that the :ayy Department will interfere
