Jamaica Bay Gets
Start as New Port
For New York City
First Municipal Owned
Pier on Shores Is OFF,
cially Dedicated

Jamaica Bay took the first step yes
terday toward a place of prominence
among the nations commercial har-
bors, when the first city owned pier on
IT'S shores was officially dedicated.
Thirteen other municipal piers are in
process of construction.
The future of the Bay was discussed
in glowing terms by Mayor Hylan, Bor-
ough President Riegelmann of Brook
lyn, Senator Calder and Dock Commits
sioner Hubert. They made the trip to
the pier aboard the police boat Patrol.
Air Greetings From Daniels
During the ceremonies of dedication
an aerial mailman circled over the 1000
celebrants, each broad sweep bringing
him lower. He volplaned and side
slipped from several thousand feet un-
til within a few hundred feet of the
ground, when he suddenly righted his
plane, and after waving his hand gaily
released mail pouch
1t dropped in the water, about ten
feet from the Patrol 1t contained a
message from Secretary of the Navy
Daniels to Dock Commissioner Hubert.
congratulatlng him on the opening of
the pier and mentioning the vital i'm
portance of rivers and harbors to the
nations welfare.
Mr.. Hubert, in his address. told of
his plans for making Jamaica Bay
world famous harbor. He said fourteen
piers of 1000 feet each, bulkhead of
two miles, from Barren Island to Mill
Basin, and the filling in of 200, 900 acres
OF swamps, will mean the realization of
this ambition
Mayor Hylan Landed the project and
told of the entire citys interest in the
development of Jamaica Bay.
Unqualified support of the new
scheme was pledged by Senator Calder
He said that New York's hope for ma
tional recognition and appropriation in
Washington rested in the House of
Representatives rather than in the
Senate.
Baked by Seniority Rule
Senator Wadsworth and myself,
though we represent more people than
thirty other Senators, have no more
power than they" he explained. in
fact, seniority has placed others at the
head of committees and often resulted
in the killing OF measures introduced
in the welfare of New York City or
state"
Joseph A. Guider, Commissioner of
Public Works of Brooklyn, marshalled
parade which included two battalions
OF the 47th and 18th Regiments, New
York State Guard, detachment of
naval reservists and two companies of
junior reserves. The police and letter
carriers bands and the musical out
fits of the state guard regiments
played alternately during the cere-
monies.

shipbuilding yards of the Atlantic.

Manganese Dividends

The increasing expectation of man
panese ore from Brazil to the United
States during the past few years has
netted very great profits to certain
Brazilian manganese companies. One
company that is perhaps the largest
individual firm engaged in the man
ganese business and under contract
with important American steel mills,
has declared the following dividends
during the past four years: 1914, $780,

largely in the outcome of the new

the condition of June / 70 per cent,

coming week, and it is generally be-
lieved that the next government report

ing authorities believe that the chances
are Tor winter wheat crop of 625000,-
900 bushels and a spring WI eat yield
of around 300,OOO,0O0. The outlook in
Canada is also very favorable, and if
the present prospects are carried
through to harvest with no more than
the usual loss, America will have
very large exportable surplus during
the coming season, after providing lib
orally for home consumption.

assert, is about the worst ever expe-
rienced. On the other hand, the tech
