MAYOR IN No HURRY
OVER BUSH TERMINAL
City Must Have Controlling
Rights OF Marginal Rail-
road Also, He Says.
PLAN TO BUY UNSETTLED
Merchants Association Hears
Prominent Brooklyn Men Who
Favor Project-"Lemon,"
Says One Man.

You need not be apprehensive Of haste
on the part of the city's financial officers
in connection with the offer of the Bush
Terminal Company" said Mayor Gaynor
yesterday, at a meeting in the rooms OF
the Merchants Association, No. 81 Lafay-
cite street.
There is no possibility" he continued
that the offer of this company can be
accepted in advance of a decision of the
courts upon the question OF inclusion in
the debt limit of the city's water bonds.
Even at that, IT must be satisfactorily
shown that with the docks offered there
must come to the city the controlling
rights of operation of the Marginal Rail-
road, which taps these docks. IT would
be nonsense in the face of things. 20 oX-
pect the city TO take over waterfront
property from which there could be no
means of communication for the purpose
of transportation"
There was applause at this statement OF
the Mayor, which came as climax of a
hearing arranged in connection with the
scheme Of Dock Commissioner Tomkins
for general Improvement Of the dock
fronts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The Mayor said that one of the first
considerations icfore the city officials is
provision FOR piers for the largest of
ocean steamships We want to build
piers long enough to receive the longest
ships" he said, and can say now that
if we do as city take mp this dock offer
it must be only and with the distinct un-
Outstanding that we acquire at the same
time all the Marginal Railroad rights"

Irving T. Bush, Of the Bush Terminal
Company, then said:

| will ask those who are opposed 10
this proposition to dismiss from their
minds the idea that the object Of the
Bush Terminal Company ~ 10 sell it's
piers TO the city. our ambition Is to
create In South Brooklyn a great public
terminal which will be useful TO COM
merce and produce "A revenue 10 the city.
We suggest that such "a terminal will be
2rea ted by combining. under the man
aGement of the Bush Terminal Company,
but subject 10 public control. the vacant
property owned by the city on each side
of the Bush Terminal Company and the
present plant Of that company
If some other operating agent Is con-
sidered better for the interests of the
city, there is no reason why the city
should buy the piers Of the Bush Ter
minal Company and the officers Of that
company believe that the Improvement
of the City's property Will increase,
rather than decrease, the value Of their
own property.
If the Bush Terminal Company ~ Sc
lected as operating agent, IL will be nee
essary for the city TO buy its piers.
which form a small part Of it's plant. in
order that the company may not have q
selfish interest In the income Of it's own
piers run In competition with those Of
the city. We believe that with our plant
and organization i'm existence we can do
more for the Citv for less money than
ANYBODY else and are the logical opcrat-
! ing agents for this terminal. If sOmG-
body else Is IN better position TO man

that the arrests were to have been made
on Friday last. but It became necessary
TO give the government agents more time

ference with Miss Kronage, and it was
said she would go to Rochester to-mor-

letters from young ladies'. had no
idea there were so many young ladies
AFFLICTED in this way. In spite OF all
the advertised remedies for pimples
and lauded preparations to produce
clear skin and splendid complexion
III spite of all this it seems there are
a large number OF young ladies' who
are haggardly anxious about then
compilations. thought perhaps a
short talk from me on this subject
might DE good thing
OF course will be suspected of
wishing only TO sell my medicine, and
to recommend Peruna for such cases,
In spite of this, however, l am going
to recommend Peruna for pimples
and blackheads. Let me tell you why.
The bowels when they are healthy
contain no poisonous material. Long
before the poiscns can generate the
contents of the bowels are discharg-
ed, provided they are in ordinary &C.
itivity But constipation will dam up
the contents of the bowels and re-
tain them so long that they decom-
pose and furnish poisonous gas and
fluids. These poisons are absorbed
by the blood vessels in the bowels and
taken into the system. The result is
pimples and blackheads and other
Disbursements OF the complexion
Young ladies especially are subject to
constipation. think should not be
