FOR Il GREATER HARBOR.
An Expert FaUOrs mprOC'ng
Jamaica BGy Properties.

5 D Van Wagner of the Lawyers Title Insur-
ance Company, who is considered one of the lead
ing experts waterfront properties in the greater
city spoke last night about the value and develop
eut of such properties before the real estate class
OF the Bedford branch OF the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. Brooklyn The address was Illus
trated with stereopticon views. showing a number
OF important improvements which have been made
in waterfront properties in recent years. The
speaker also showed why the value Of dock and
shore properties principally based on the ship
ping facilities Of the harbor snd the means fur
nished by the various railroads for the handling
Of freight.
He said that the value of docking privileges along
the Gowanus Canal chiefly due 10 he canal
section being great distributing point for large
and small barses used in the brick and coal trade
and also in conveying from place to another
building material and other things usually handled
at such q distributing station lie thought that
values there would not be considerably enhanced II
that distributing point made big railroad
freight terminal
The city. however. would be greatly benefited II
properties fronting on Gravesend and Jamaica bays
were transformed into large railroad feight dis
tributng district. The bays could be made navi-
gable to vessels of large draft used in coast or
ocean service. There space there owing to the
length Of the shore lines and their shape for the
building Of piers OF great length and width
For many years the docking privileges at those
points had been almost entirely used by fishermen
and yachtsmen, and for that reason their VsIua-
ton was little higher than for shore front prop
critics far remote from the city
It would he a difficult task Mr. Var wagner
said 10 build pier nearly thousand feCt long In
Jamaica Bay. for the use of ocean steamships, and
with great railroad freight centre surrounding
such big piers much time and money would ne
saved in unloading cargoes on ocean steamers and
shipping freight various parts OF the country
He thought that the dsy would soon arrive when
men Of large means interested in the enhance
rnant Of New York 4 shipping centre, would
take up the work Of Transforming Jamaica Bay
into harbor FOR the biggest ocean steamships
lie said millions Of dollars had been spent on
waterfront properties which. regards location
and size did compare favorahlv with Jamaica
Bay properties
Yet Jamaica Rav continues like waste in the
desert added Mr.. Van Wagner. 1t could in ?
short time he made the finest harbors in
the world. with its shores lined with large factories
and warehouses. and the entire district frayersed
hv an a1l-rsi line extending 10 part OF this
country. Such harhor would not only add 10
the prestige Of this city the greatest shipping

advancement Of real estate values throughout A
