ON JAMAICA BAY
TomkinS Suggests Two Plans for
Development; Urges Action.
EITHER WILL PAY, HE SAYS
Increment of Values Will Return
Outlay - Suggests 25-Year
Leases at Moderate Rental.

In a report 70 the Mayor made public

Department Of Docks and Ferries, discuss
inz the proposals for the Jamaica Bay
improvements said the city must act at
once IN thar matter n 1t is 10 90 forward
instead u obstructinE It's own development.
The report outlines two propositions. the
first Of which contemplates the acquisition
Of the property east OF Canarsie and the
letting of the contracts for dredging and
filling. then the construction Of temporary
hulkheads al three different points which
would be readily accessible both from Ca
narsie and Bergen Beach by land. and
from the bay itself by dredging short
channels from the present main channel
That proposition would require the acqui-
sition Of the property desired by the city
in one continuous parcel. bur the second
proposition advanced hv the Dock Commis-
sioners report is that certain specified
parcels Of land throughout the whole of
Jamaica Bav section should he acquired.
thus giving the city possession ~ as much
property as possible with the appropri-
alton now available. " is Mr.. Tomkins's
idea that II this second proposition IS
taken up the city should secure what would
be strategic points IN the later industrial
devel oprnent of the section
Islands scattered in the interior ~ the
bay the COMMISSIONS recommends should
he acquired and held for mark or institu-
tional purposes. or possibly 70 use IN the
development of a free port."
The report commends the liberal policy
of cooperation" with the CITY shown by
the Pennsylvania Railroad. and recon-
msnde that that road be encouraged SO
long as IT'S policy IN that regard remains
al IL is now, and that the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company likewise be eucouraE Eed
% extend its passenger and freight lines

"The initial dock improvements by the
city" saws the report. should he M a
cheap and temporary character. 81 as ~

minimum Of public expenditure This will

mate uses of the property shall have been
established. so that permanent improve
ments may be made where actually need

back lands-that is. all Of Long Island"
As 10 the financial aspects OF the two
propositions Mr.. Tomkins believes that in
either case the Improvements will pay for
themselves out Of Increment In values Gre
ated. and suggests twentv-fve-vear leases
with one or two ten-year renewals for the
marginal lands as filed in. He suggests
that these leases he al moderate rentals,
both for the purpose Of attracting indus
trial development. and also for the purpose
Of keeping down adjacent privately owned
property. 50 that II need be later the city
may acquire more marginal land at fair
