Using the eastern end of the plaza as
a geographical centre, Long Island city
may be divided generally into four posi-

First-The manufacturing section. Tri-

occasion to blast in his foundation or
Spite to get bottom, rather. the ground

is from 30 to 100 feet. and the builder uses
the sand taken from his excavation to lay

this one operation. and the price of build

haitian, the Sulzberger Sons Company
had erected large building in the centre
Of the street, which was being used as a
oooperage, and on the sidewalk they also
maintained a structure used as a black

dent McAneny os Manhattan, to whom
The matter was referred, resulted In the
issuance Of an order for the removal of
The encroachments.
Instances Of the usurpation OF streets
for business purposes are being disclosed
daily and It Is the determination Of the
Controller that I'm all such cases the
streets shall be restored to the use Of the
public.
The investigation has further disclosed
conditions which may prove much more
tarreaching in effect that anything that
has yet developed. These relate 10 land
held under grants from the State Of New
York
These grants fer the most part are or
Two kinds. ono known as commerce grants
and the other as beneficial enjoyment
wants Under the former IL is not per-
nissibls to erect other than docks or
smllar structures upon the land under
water and such a grant does not license
us holder TO build factories. stores or
dwellings. In other words. the grant is
maze strictly for the subservience OF
commerce by the building OF docks alone.
Notwithstanding this. several cases have
Wme TO the attention OF the Controller.
Nhere large factories and other structures
used wholly for business purposes have
''eh erected on land acquired under com
MERGE grants. The erection OF these
v-Hdings was undoubtedly a violation OF
We terms Of the grants. rendering them
,.olect TO cancellation and annulment.
'aese cases will be brought TO the at
