PIER PROJECT BLOCKED
 BY PROPERTY OWNER.
A. H. GaCsr Declines to Sell New Lon- don Real Estate at Price Commits sion Says He Once Agreed Upon.

With every parcel of the land neces- sary for the establishment of the ocean terminal at East New London acquired with the exception of one, there now looms up the possibility of severa! Weeks' delay on account of the refusal of Arthur Fl. Gager to sell his mother s property for the $10,00O which the members of the sub- committee Of the New London harbor commission state that he verbally agreed upon with Prince.
 It Is stated by the sub committee that MT. Gager, acting for his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Gager, the record owner or lot of land with a dwelling house thereon, situated in Sixteenth street, Prince last January to sell to the state of Connecticut this property for the sum of $10,000 There was no written agreement at that time, Mir Gager asking a deposit of several hundred dollars which the commission was not in a position to pay at that time.
 Acting on this alleged agreement with MT. Gager, the sub- committee re- ported to the full commission that the Gager property could be acquired for the sum of $10.000, which is exactly three and a third times what 1t is assessed for, according to the commis- sioners. They state that the property is on the books of the assessors at $3,OO0, and 1t is also stated that the owner has offered to sell it during the past year to private individuals for less than $4000.
 All went well with securing the par cels of land from various owners until the last parcel, that owned by Mrs. Gager, was reached. Then, according to the commissioners. MT. Gager act ing as the representative of his mother, who is an invalid, declared that he had never received a bona fide offer for the property and that he should ask 8 sum several thousand dollars in advance of the figure named. It is not given out what the figure is, but it is reported to be S15.000.
 As the sub committee has no power to increase its previous estimate and as 1t is fully empowered to start con- demnation proceedings the latter is undoubtedly the course which will be pursued.
 MT. Gager denied on Thursday that he had received any offer from the commission for his property. He stated that he had nn.de them an offer and had received no reply. The commits sioners, however, have a typewriter copy of an offer of $10,000 which they state was made orally to MT. Gager.
 The property consists of a dwelling house and 18,000 feet of land in Six teenth street. It is said to have been purchased by MT. Gager for $3,500 and later deeded by him to his mother
