Points Suggested for Them.
LONGER PIERS PROPOSED
Removal of Menaces to Naviga.
tion in Scheme to Spend More
than S32,O00,000.

The improvement Of New York harbor by
the dredging of numerous deeper channels
and the removal Of many of the rocks
reefs and shoals that now constitute a
menace to navigation and prevent the fun
DEVELOPMENT of the Citys commerce was
the subject of a sort Of illustrated lecture
siven under the auspices of the Commits
sion TO Investigate Port Conditions and
Pier Extensions in the form OF tour OF
inspection yesterday. The trip was made
on the steamboat Manhattan of the DOCK
Department, which left Pier \ at one
o'clock and proceeded up the Hudson on
the first leg of the excursion, with members
Of the commission Colonel William NJ.
Black, Of the Board of Army Engineers.
and others interested in harbor develop
meut on board. The places where i'm
provements are suggested by The commits
sion and by Colonel Black were shown.
on the Hudson River the construction Of
1,0C0-foot piers 10 meet the Increased
length Of the great ocean liners IS
proposed opposite West Washington Mar
ket. A shoal about fourteen hundred feet
long in the channel off the Battery and
another reef further up should be re-
ing Of a channel 26 feet deep and co. feet
wide. from Weehawken TO Fort Lee, Is
urged. together with 30-foot channel So
feet wide along the Jersey City front. The
shoaI on the New York side, from 18th
street to ed street should also be elimi-
mated, il is urged. the total cost of all
these improvements being estimated at
about Sl,50D,000.
For the East River extensive improve
nents have been suggested in Colonel
blacks report. including the strengthening
out Of the bad bend a. Johnsons Foundry,
where II IS now Impossible for really heavy
draft ships to navigate. BY making a cut
right through the shore at this point il is
said that shipping would be greatly bene-
fitted and the currents at Hell Gate less
ened.
Two or perhaps more piers Of High
bridge Will undoubtedly have TO he taken
away at some future time, IL was stated.
on account Of the dangerous baCknoW Of
water around the structure when boats 30
under it. The cutting of direct channel
through the Harlem Kills 10 the East
River is also planned and an 1S-root chan
mel with width of 800 feet in the Harlem
River is asked for.
BY opening up the Harlem Kills and Lit
tie Hell Gate to a depth Of Il feet and a
width Of 800 feet the swift currents at
Hell Gate viii lie reduced from - to %
per cent. the commissioners say. I'm addi-
lion TO making the east channel at Black
wells Island 26 feet deep to reduce the
current and develop that section Of the
river front a &O-foot channel right UP TO
the wharves on the New York and Brook
iyn shores is suggested, along with other
Improvements below the Manhattan Bridg,
and a channel 81 feet deep past the navy
yard as far as the Sound.
In exchange for strip Of land between
Wards and Randalrs islands the plan pro-
yldes for the filling in Of Sunken Meadows
