Stimson Favoors New
Manhattan Pierhead

A plain to straighten the pierhead line
along the Hudson river side Of Man.
haitian island was approved by secre-
tsry Stimson yesterday. as result Of
which piers 1000 feet long or longer
may be built to accommodate the new
ocean liners without narrowing the
Hudson river.
Mayor Gaynor has given the secre-
tary assurance that the city Is anxious
to 20 to work reforming its pier lima,
and that the release, early this week,
of s70.0e0.0o0 Of dock bonds. through a
decision of the appellate court. makes
It possible for the city to 90 ahead with
its plans Of Improvement at once.
The attitude of both President Taft
and Secretary Stimson Is plainly against
narrowing the river al Castle Point. on
the Jersey SIDE. the narrowest stretch
OF the river. President Taft, in a re-
cent message to Congress, said that he
thought the width to which the river Is
now reduced at that point should be
considered the limit beyond which the
city or steamship companies could not
go without serious injury to New York
as a port.

COUNCILMAN BALK
ON UTILITIES BILL

City Council sitting as committee
of the whole on Wednesday night, ap-
proved the bill now before the Legis-
lature, increasing the powers o. the
Board of Public Utilities Commission
ers. and it was expected that formal
action would be taken al the regular
meeting lastnight, but the matter was
not brought up.
It was learned today that'the reason
the measure was not formally ap-
proved. was because some Of The
members had come to the conclusion
that the provisions of the bill were
too drastic and the board was given
more powers than the Superior Court
not including the City Council. An
other conferences will likely he held
before anything definite is done.
Another measure that did not come
up for action was the bill providing
that the deputy city judge sit in tho
Juvenile Court and that the police
men of the city act as probation on
GERS. This bill also will receive add,
tional consideration

shown today by the report Of Collect

business done at the local custom
house during the short month OF
February In the twenty-five work

.collected aggregating S7,S7374. Goods
admitted free during the month were
valued al Sl57.692 and the dutiablc

Compared with the corresponding
month of last year the business done

in 1912, when duties amounting to
$2.96S.67 were received. SO far this
month there have been receipts
amounting TO $4,000 in duties and the
month promises to be a big one in
returns.

an incentive for every one interested

use but no definite conclusion was
reached The special committee to
which was referred the question Of
learning who the owners of the river
front are, not only leaned this. but

as il now stands and II was said yes

Just how the members OF the spe-

on the proposition was not learned
today, but il was said that there is
a strong sentiment among the mem-
bers i'm favor of the city owning the
river frontand that as quickly as pos
