MANY CLAIMS FoR WATER DAMAGE.

William c. Redheld. Commissioner Of Public
Works in Brooklyn said yesterday that as result
Of the foods caused by the heavy rainfall Of Mon
day about five hundred claims for damages had
been presented to the borough officials of Brooklyn
and there would probably be many more. He de-
clared the flooding Of the houses was not due
trey to inadequate sewer capacity. and denied that
the big Greene-ave relief sewer was in poor condi-
ton.
He said the overflow was caused by the unusual
amount of water that fell in a few minutes. The
sewer was designed to carry off rainfall OF one
inch an hour but the heaviest part of the fall on
Monday the precipitation greater than this.
Two and one-half inches Of rain fell in Brooklyn IN
the forenoon The unusually high tide in Gowanus
Canal also contributed TO the overflow. Into this
canal the Greene-ave. sewer emptles. but the udee
was so high that the water was forced oacA ana

Business Men Sag Good Ferry FacI-

party Of newspaper men visited the section
of Brooklyn which lies contiguous to the ter
minal OF the Thirty-nnth-st. ferry yesterday
afternoon under the auspices of a number of
representatives Of the Merchants Association
and the West End Board of Trade of Brooklyn
The object of the trip was to have demonstrated
to them the need of an improved ferry service
for the district. Last winter the bill providing
for the municipalization of the Staten Island
ferry was amended to provide for the operation
Of the Thirty-ninth-st ferry in a similar
ner.
Those interested in the development Of the
waterfront Of this section are endeavoring to
have the city acquire the ferry. They declare
that so long the ferry is conducted at
present the section will be slow in developing
The boats are small and anriquated and the
intervals between their trips so long that the
business Of the section is not properly served.
Sometimes trucks obliged TO wait an hour
before securing place boat. Piers which
are among the largest in the world being 1850
feet long and $50 feet wide. being con-
structed in the neighborhood Of the ferry, and
a number of steamship lines including the
MISUNDERSTANDING. the Prince and the Scandi-
navian, do, WILL dock at them. Good ferry
facilities will be required to handle expeditiously
the freight brought by them. Those who are
working for the municipaization of the ferry
| declare that such a step would add greatly to
the development of the commerce Of the port.
as there is plenty of space for the construction

An improved ferry service also would open up
a section where moderate priced houses could De
