The New York herald., 1921-10-26


Ten city departments have been un-
der inquiry in the public hearings OF
5the Meyer legislative committee. OF
the many sensational disclosures per-
haps the most important revelations,
as affecting the welfare of the entire
city, are those concerning the malad-
n1inistration Of the Department Of
Docks and Ferries.
1t has been established that valu-
able piers habitually are leased to
favored contractors at small rentals
and are sublet at figures yielding enor-
nous profits. 1t has been shown that
lessees are winning easy fortunes by
thus juggling the piers. while legiti-
mate shipping interests are forced
either to pay the penalty or else to
divert their ships to other ports, to the
detriment of New York's commerce.
State Senator Charles c. Lockwood
considers $4,000, 900 a conservative
estimate of the sum of such pier prof.
teering.
1t has been established that other
fortunes are being won in the policing
of these piers by favored heads of pri-
vate detective agencies who, like for
mer Inspector Edward p. ("Eddie'J
Hughes. had been retired from the
Police Department on pensions. In
the case of Hughes his several bank
accounts in the name respectively Of
himself, his wife and himself Jointly
and his detective agency revealed de-
posits aggregating, since ,Hyian be-
came Mayor. a total of..sI.O6a.1s2
Amasinx Pier PoItce F,gures. !,
N The scpmmittee developed the fact that
simply for the policing Of their piers In
New York harbor shippers are compelled
to pay between $4,000. 900 and S40.-
100000 a year. That astonishing figure
was given on September 26 in the testi-
mony of Major George w. knight, who
made an investigation for the Federal
Government, he having been assigned
during the war to the care OF all over
~
the actual number Of special watchmen
employed on New York piers at the
average wage of s5 day. the figures
of the Majors report to the Government
showed that the cost Of policing piers in
1917 was s30,670,000; that in 1918 1t
was $33,s50.000; in 1919, $41,610, 600,
and in 1920 $35,s50,o00.
"The commerce of this port" COM
mented Senator Elon r. Brown, chief
counsel to the Meyer committee, could
be transacted for less than one-half
what that commerce now has to pay IL
the piers were rented at fair prices and
no superburdens were imposed"
THE NEW YoRK HERALD. commenting
editorially on this evidence under the
caption. "The Golden Docks" said on
September 2S:
THE cost of policing the piers last
year was so per cent more than the cost
OF policing the streets OF the whole city
of New York. 1t was nearly three times
as much as the cost of running New
Yorks great Fire Department.
THE cost OF policing the docks last
year was within s2.o00,000 OF the com
bined cost OF the city's Police and Fire
departments. And IL was $S,559,00e
more than the combined cost OF the Po-
lice and Fire departments in 1917, the
last year of Mayor Mitchel's administra-
ton.
Would the steamship companies IL
unaffected by pressure, spend 100000 a
day for protection?
Are the steamship companies gouged
by political detective bureaus as they
have been gouged by political lessoes OF
piers?"
