PIER PROFITS CAUSE

Erickson's Widow Loses Suit
on Which Leases Renewal
Was Based.
HAD NETTED $4,000 YEAR
Shipping Mans Fortune of
$1,500,000 Shrinks TO
About 0ne-third.

Profits through the subletting of the
city owned Pier 3. Hudson River. played
a considerable part In building up the
s1.5O00 900 estate OF Alexander Erickson,
half owner of tho Federal steamship
Lines. Ltd. but which mas shrunk more
than 81, 1,0O0,0 900, 1t was disclosed yester-
day when Clarence J. Shearn, referee,
decided adversely TO protests made by
Mrs. Clara c. Erickson. widow OF the
steamship ma1 over the administration
OF the estate BY the New York Trust
Company, executors and trustees Pier
3 was q small wooden structure near
the Battery.
Mrs. Erickson claims that the trust
company failed to renew the pier lease
when 1t expired February Is, 1919, four
months after Erickson's death. thereby
losing that profitable asset" Of her nus
bands estate, but permitted Frank f..
Boulton. her husbands partner who
died last month. TO transfer tho lease to
himself and renew 1t without account
ing to the trust company for what
should have been Erickson's share OF
the profit.
Surrogate Cohaian appointed Mr..
shearn to inquire into the objection. His
report says the trust company did not
know of the lease matter until long
after IL had lapsed, due to the compli-
Gated condition of the Erickson estate,
and had no representative at the time
on the Federal Line directorate, conse-
quently there is not sufficient basis for
an action against the Boulton estate.
Moreover. he found, the lessor from
whom the Federal Lines had leased Pier
- sV1 in
stead OF the $4,000 a year Erickson and
Boulton had been paying. And while
1t was permissible for Borlton as an
individual to risk continuing the lease.
the trust company could not legally
do so, as such a transaction would be
considered speculative in view of the
worldwide slump in shipping.
Mr. Shearn's report states the Federal
Lines mada great profits during the
war not only through operating their
own fleet OF munitions and supply
ships. but through renting wharfage
privileges at Pier to ships OF the
Portuguese Government, Boulton. he re-
cites, aquired also a lease on Pier A
when the Pisr z lease was transferred
to him. and suhlct the Pier A lease

$4,000 annual profit.
Mrs. Erickson protested also against
two minor matters in the trust COM
pany accounting. which Mr.. Skearn de-
clded in her favor. This accounting
shows that debts incurred when the
shipping slump set in after the arnis-
tce. payment of income and other taxes,
ana the cost of administering the estate
caused the estate to dwinde from the

ment under Mayor Hylan has been the
most efficient In the city's history.
when l took Office In 1918 the docks
were in a deplorable condition. IL any
attempt was made to lease a pier to any
one other than the crowd that were al
ready in possession of the docks a ter
rife howl went up through the papers
OF the city accusing the city officials Of
all sorts OF wrongdong. This admins
tration broke up the monopoly by build
ing new piers In and about the city and
repairing and rebuilding many of the
old ones. Foreign interests had many
other piers OF the city tied up by long
leases. so that the city waterfront TO
some extent was in the control of these
interests.
Powerful interests seem to want TO
get control OF the port and take 1t out
of the hands OF the people. All sorts of
propag ganda is being circulated to en-
deavor 10 lead the people to believe that

which goes to helr lessen the burden
upon tho taxpayers. In past admins
trations the policy seemed to be to neg
lect the docks. to give out long leases at
small return to the city. and certain in
terests seemed to think that they had a
prior right, and that their monopoly OF
the waterfront should not be interfered
with. This combination has been broken
up and they are now willing to go TO
any lengths and use any means to injure
