Dock Denartment abrogated the lease OF the
pier unlawfutly used the Murphys and Gannevs
got ont an Injunction, which is still pending
Counting the pier as worth S1123O year, the
CITY loses $4,000 year on it. and this IN thlr'S
years would mean loss of S3oo,0p
The Murphy board gave John j. Murphy anu
e l. Gaffney n lease of the Nlnety-slS'h-s''
pier for thirty years, at about S3.6op year.
For one-uuarter of the adjoining pier Mrs'
Theresa Sheridan pays the city S1.S'1 year
fixing the value of the Murphy pier on a low
estimate at 81 500 year. AS the Murphys ana
Gaffnevs nav only $500 year for their pier,
they are getting it basis of S3,9oO year
less than Mrs Sheridan. who has no particular
pull. This difference of $1,000 year in thirty
years will amour to $111.O00
The same record Of profgacy with the city S
interests is observable when the Murphy
boards handling Of the East River piers Is
looked into.
The Murphy board leased to a favorte the
East Thrteth-st dump at $50 year. At
public auction the same dumping privilege
brought 5000. This difference of S5,9n0 year
in thirty years would amount to S1lS.bb
The Murphy board leased to Brown & Fleming
the Fortieth-st dump ut $500 year. Ten
blocks south. at Thirtieth-st. as before stated,
the city secured S6,IpO year for similar
privilege. This difference of S61n year in
thirty years would amount to $1S30G0.
The Murphy board leased the East Seven
tiethst. dumping privilege to favorite for S6OO
a year. To the city has been offered 5000 a
year for this dump. This difference of S2.4Oo a
year in thirty years will mean a loss to the city
of $4,000.
Practically all these dumping privileges were
leased by the Murphy board with the under
standing that the lessees should receive 30 cents
a cubic yard for material dumped on the scows.
The Low administration insisted that the charge
a cubic yard should be reduced to - cents.
and I'm spite of this marked reduction the leases
public auction brought the prices stated.
The figures given here are in possession of the
Sinking Fund the Commissioners of Accounts
and the District Attorneys office.
