If the army engineers have their wav
the proposed permit to the German
steamship lines to extend their piers in
the Hudson river at Hoboken will have
only very limited life, and the British
lines shortly will be called on to remove
the crib work built at their piers. on
the opposite side of the river, about two
years ago to shelter the exposed ends
of the long ships from running ice.
The British permit was granted by the
then Secretary of War Dickinson, March
Is. 1911. and will expire, according to
the terms Of the agreement June 30 next
1t is expected that the strongest possible
pressure will be brought to bear to secure
an extension of that permit, but the
army engineers will resist this unless it
is shown that the steamship companies
are actually engaged in building new
piers at some point in the river or bay
where their length will not interfere with
navigation, and need a reasonable time
after the close of the present fiscal year
to complete the work.
