modities These VIII have to have a central
basin for delivering 20 the several points Of the
harbor. This should be within The towing
limits, so as not TO make the cost Of handling
any greater than at present Then there should
be piers 9@t apart a. some point where paolia &c
lFclSht could be taken on, such as drygoods. in
fact the same lines of goods as the railroads
take for westbound delivery. IN order TO make
the traffic of the canal az serviceable to tho city
as possible. II the city does not provide for this
kind of traffic boats will be limited in their
opportunities TO relieve freight congestion and
develop the commerce Of the port u IS essen
ual that the city should think of this matter.
Bear in mind that the new canal should be
operated like ferry boats leaving their moor
ings on schedule. so that one could calculate
when goods would arrive AZ a given point At
present no one can calculate when goods will
arrive by railroad. There is no reason why
package freight The westward bound freight
Is the great resource of the railroads at this
port should consider Franklin street good
terminal point for outgoing freight.
The canal also could help in the trnnsporta-
ton of coal. coke and ore and there Is no reason
why New York should not become great centre
or structural iron manufacture and shipbuid-
ing. II Is suggested. you know, that the canal
be connected with the lakes in Central New
York, which will bring It within a short dts
tance of the supplies of coke and coal"
Il think" said f. ). Gardner secretary of the
Board Of Trade and TRANSPORTATION. that there
ought 10 be number of terminals AT different
parts OF the city 10 which barees could go and
which would serve az the same time as open
piers. l would have such Dier every quarter
or mile along the North River These should
be so restricted that they could not be leased
under any circumstances TO any corporation or
otherwise
Mr. Gardiner added, as showing the value OF
the canal with proper terminals TO New York:
1t is estimated that with the improved canal
facilities barges utilizing it can deliver struct-
ural iron from Buffalo TO New York at 30 cents
a ton. One company at Buffalo, I understand,
has shipped structural steel by canal and de-
livered II here from seven to ten DAYS ahead
OF the railroad"
In a pamphlet which the committee on ter
minal facilities of the New York Board OF Trade
and Transportation sent out with the copy OF
Mr.. Gardeners bill, a suggestion was made that
there be terminal especially equipped with
machinery for the handling OF heavy structural
steel and OF iron, which It Is believed win he

to become suspicious. I think that the sealed
coupon would also give dill ulty. Through
carelessness or curiosity purchasers Of tickets
OF this kind might break the seal, and then, on
reaching the theatre and learning that thu
tickets had been made worthless, they would
cause all kinds OF trouble.
The best way in the opinion of the Frohm10
management 10 put the spectators out OF bust
ness" said MI Hawks with emphasis, is 70
pass ordinance revoidng the old municipal
law by which the city licenses these men and
accordingly authorizes their business.
At the present time there are about two hun
bred licensed ticket Spectators in this city. and
the fees bring an annual revenue into the mu-
nicipal treasury Of $1,000. The profits II these
men are estimated at 100000 a year. The
license costs $50 the first year ii is issued and
thereafter $50 year.
