 NEW YORK, August 9. - The shore.ne aud pier lengths within greater New York harbor including Jersey shore. are longer by Fl miles than che distance to Cb,ago via Pen nsy.vauia railroad, says the Chamber Of Commerce r,,ery available today.
 Official figures give Greater New York a direct waterfront of 57S4 miles On the New Jersey mainland the waterfront. extending from Sandy Hook to the Hudson River opposite New York City's northern limit, af- fords lg293 miles more, making a total direct frontage of 77I.39 miles. This is more than the liueal distance from New York to Charleston, S. c, or to New York to Cincinnati.
 Measured around piers and along the heads of the slips, the length of the developed waterfront brings out some astonishing facts of capacity for handling maritime and inland trade at this Port. The five boroughs have a total frontage of 260.2 miles. This with the New Jersey improvement of . l2345 miles makes 393.65 miles, or a . liaeal foot length of 2,O7S,456 feet. .This latter total. with the total length of water front on the same shores, of . .4O-2 600 IueaI feet, shows that bare . Iy half of the length available for trade is as yet within the developed : frontage of Greater New York.
 Measuring waterfront both around piers and along shoreline, Greater New York has total length of 1893 miles, or S,9O3.5O4 lineal feet. Add ing the Jersey stretch of riverside Op- positc the City's length on the Hud- son gives 24O miles more, making a grand total by this mode of measure ment of 979.3 miles, or 5,169,5O4 lineal feet That is 71.S miles longer than | the entire distance from New York to ] Chicago by way Of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
