MUST CUT SEVEN
INCHES OFF HOTEL
Jerome Bassity's Mohawk Place
Encr0acI1es on the States
Land in East Street
Harb0r Commission Orders the
Owners to Move Building
or Shave 1t Off

The harbor commissioners have dis
covered that the Hotel Mohawk, a sub
stantial six story brick structure on
the west side of East street between
Market and Mission, encroaches seven
inches on state property and will ask
the owners either to move the build
ing back that far or to shave that
much from its face. The building is
owned by the East street Improvement
company and is leased by Jerome Bas-
sity, who was chief graft collector IN
the tenderloin for the Schnitz admins
tration.
President Stafford of the harbor
board said yesterday that the seven
inches of state land which the build
ing occupies would have to be vacated.
They tell me-" said Stafford. that
they built on a line given them by
City Engineer Woodward. It was City
Engineer Manson who discovered the
mistake. It will cost the owners Of
the building probably $4,000 TO make
the change upon which we will insist.
1 am sorry for them. but if we over
looked an encroachment of this kind
il would create a precedent sure TO
cause trouble in the future. As they
were misled by the city engineer
suppose they might sue the city for
the cost of remedying the mistake.
Whatever they do. however, they must
move that seven inches of the Hotel
Mohawk OF state property
Surveyor Holcomb of the city engi-
neer's office said yesterday that none
of the survey lines furnished by the
department Immediately after the fire
were represented to be correct
People came to US" said Holcomb.
begging that we give them their
property lines. as they were anxious
to rebuild. We were unable to do so,
as all of the monuments had been de-
stroyed They insisted. however, that
we should assist them, and as matter
of accommodation we gave them the
approximate location of the lines. In
no instance did we represent that the
lines were accurate.
Il have no. recollection of the Bas-
sity case. 1 am certain that the build
er was told, like all the others, that
the lines were as near as we could get
them in the absence of the monu-
ments."
