one-half to one-tenth what a pier was worm
as Judged by the prices charged for ADJOINING
vharves. After Seth Low was elected Mayor
in 1901 the Tammany Dock Board, reallzhg lilaI
i+e lost chance had come feathered the nests OF
some of its members just about as thic1ly as II
,vas nossible On December p, 1901, for eX-
a,,nIa the board leased the dumping privileges
and the pier at West 96th-st for thirty years
at So 600 a year to John J. Murphy, president
of the Network Contracting and trucking
Cornanv. John ]. Murphy is the brother of
Charley, and his dummy
This pier has been a veritable sold mine for
the Murphys 1t is a half mile away from any
other pier. and it is estimated that the profits
obtained from it average $4,000 year. OF this
the civ gets only $4,000. Like piers rent for
three to four times much.
Another illustration of how useless ii is for
outsiders to try to compete with the Network
Contracting Company, or the Dirt Trust, Is
afforded bv the way the Tammany boss got
hold Of the lucrative dumping privileges at the
foot of West 35th-st. for $1,000 while NJ. Il
TJealv an anti-Tanmany man, had TO pay
S1S 600 for privileges much inferior at the foot
of West 2Oth-st Murphy made this grab with
the helm Of the present Dock Commissioner IN
Sentember of last year, and he got the entire
south side of the big 35th-st. pier, the rental
of which is valued at $4,000. Mr. Murphy now
pays less than one-seventh of this figure. Yet
this is not all. The Tammany chlef also got
800 feet Of space along the river front south Of
35th-st for 81 200 a year. although it is esti-
mated TO he worth $4,000. The New-York Cen
tra1 for &c three piers and 567 s feet of bulkhead
IT the foot Of 31st, 32d and 33d SITS, pays
SCI 100 In proportion what he gets Mr..

the railroad company does.

OF $4,000 10 $4,000 feet, the tenn
perature tending toward zero, the per-
petual darkness ranging below depths
of about 1880 feet. At that level
plants, deprived of light. can not ex-
ist. The animal life must be carni-
vorous. The organs of sight, not be-
ing used, have become atrophied and
Yet there is light even
in that sightless world. A German
exploring ship found a fish with enor-
nous eyes at a depth of 6,400 feet.
