Answering the critics Of the pro-
posed change, Commissioner Hubert
said yesterday that he Is facing a
fact. not q theory; that II the port
develops, as there Is every indication
u will develop, the land he now wants
TO acquire will be needed. In a few
years the value will be perhaps ten
Zines what It can be bought for now,

,,uired for the present operation, con-
seouentiaI damages will be demanded

Tue controversy is over the ques-

f6rextendipg sewers now terminating

It was Doci; Commissioner Murray

with the original lay Of the land the

for,the general benerit Of the port and
not for Staten Island.
tEhom the water line the land slopes
sharply to about seventy-flve feet I'M
der. water at the far end Of the piers
Fpr. this reason Commission Hubert
said yesterday it was decided not 70
carry the prers out 10 the Ter head
line, but instead 70 anchor them closer
70 the old shore line, build a bulkhead
wall II that point and Ill in behind it,
making solid ground from the bulk

were let for building the twelve docks
and sheds, property was acquired BY
condemnation and the following
dredging contracts were made: Nor
ris & Commins Dredging Company.
$500, 800; New Jersey Ship Building
and Dredging Company, two con-
tracts, S211,47O and t4l5,200; total,
H,256, 900. The enormous amount Of
material to be removed can be i'm
agined from the amount Of the con
tracts.
II this material could have been
moved onto the land under water
back Of the bulkhead line. it would
have been sufficient to solve all or 4
part OF the big problem Of filing I'm
the land under water to make a level
approach to the piers.
This could not be done because the
lOulkhead wall had not been con-
structed, and the silt would have set
tied back into the dredged basins
without the wall to hold II. To have
constructed the wall first and then
filled with the dredRed material
would have backed up the sewers at
their outlet
SO the dredgings were loaded on
scows and carried far to sea and
there dumped. When the preliminary
luTGuBlIlB was GyllAplClO1t AilG DdlhHEau
wall was constructed, leaving outlets
for discharge from the sewers and
work on the piers was started.
! y Meantime leases had been made fo-
all the piers with various steamS-'TT-
owners, who agreed to pay a rental
based on interest on the money in
vested in construction.
, Commissioner Hubert went before
the Board OF Estimate for an appro-
priatton Of 100000 to enable the
! Borough President Of Richmond to
make the necessary extension OF the
sewers.
AT this point the scheme struck an
| Unforeseen snag. Comptroller Craig
announced he had investigated the
! proposition and had learned 1t would
| not be legal for the city to pay for
/ the sewer extension. Sewers. he
| pointed out, are local improvements
and must he paid for by assessments
] on property in the area Of benefit. He
said the $500, 900 must be raised BY
assessment, entailing the start of the
| improvement In the local board of

VAN NAME OBJECTS TO PAYING
FOR SEWER WORK.

Borough President Van Name Wig
orously opposed this. He said the
piers were a general improvement for
the Port Of New York. that there was
division OF local opinion as to the
local benefits to be derived from the
pier plan, and that II the Board OF
Estimate waited for the local board
to authorize 5000, expenditure for
that purpose. It would be a long wait
While this controversy was going
on, Commissioner Hubert was MAX
ing arrangements with Grover A.
Whalen, Commissioner OF Plant and
Structures, TO dump steam ashes from
the municipal ferries into the land
under water, to help cut the cost Of
filing in. With a good bank Of
steam ashes, light and compact,
against the bullthead wall, silt and
heavier material can be thrown in
without danger OF bulging the bulk
head, Commissioner Hubert said.
But with the sewer extensions helu
up, the old problem of backing up the
sewers again arose, and so tho avail
able ashes may only be dumped at
certain points Any surplus will be

but Il Is supported from the stand
point Of engineering and modern port
development theory. Building OF the
piers out TO the pierhead line would
have been more expensive, owing to
the slope Of the land under water,
than the way they are being built
But the extra cost would have fallen
on the lessees, and not on the city
at large, as It will fall under the re-

the city will have to, pay Just that
much more for the filling in, under
contract. Commissioner Hubert es-
Inmates that this work eventually
will cost about 100000. Other esti-
mates are double this amount, and It
Is declared that all this and more
will be o total loss because dredgings
could be transported and spread for
less than the cost Of hauling scows
70 sea and dumping there.
PIERS ON SOLID LAND MAY BE-
COME LITTLE ISLANDS.
Commissioner Hubert tried to
make the pier building a record job,
and according 70 his schedule will
have them built by next July, mean
ing a construction period Of fourteen
months. But when they are com
pleted they will be on Islands not
accessible except by water; there
will be no warehouses; there will he
no railroad terminal facilities, I'M
less the sewer extensions are made
and the land under water filed in for
the approach.
While this is under way interest
will be running on the millions in
vested in construction, land and
dredging. This will be somewhere
arOunQ SlOU,OUU q .mCntn. Also,
there Is the half million or so of loss
entailed by the dumping at sea of
material that might help fill back
% the bulkhead.
The location Of the bJlkhead, ow-
ing to the shelving slant of land al
ready referred to, has narrowed the
strip reserved for warehouse and
switching facilities. To make up for
! this, Commissioner Hulbert's re-
vised plan calls for tnting all the
land between the present boundary
and Bay Street, the business street
of Stapleton., The assessed valua-
ton Of the property 10 be taken Is
something over 100000. II is
cheerfully predicted that It will cost
at least double that amount to &C
quire title by condemnation proceed
ings. The money for this part OF the
venture will be the city's own invest
ment, as the pier lessees are to pay
interest on the construction costs,
not the corOllary expenditures.

THE VAMPIRE.

The Vampire is not "a dead person superstitiously believed to he able to leave the grave during the night and suck the blood of living persons while asleep" The Vampire is not a dead one at all. Moreover the Vampire hates the sight of blood. but is at traCted by it's color. Believing other tracted the Vampire often uses it on the lips n nature has not attended to this little matter properly.
 Not being a dead one the Vampire has little use for those who are. With languid lassitude the Vampire eu- courages its victims to be very much alive. Tho Vampire fixes it's artihcially brilliant eye on the most notorious of its species and in act, word and deed attempts to initiate.
 In this imitation the Vampire Is us- ually a dismal failure except in small communities where the creature is comparatively unknown. or in larger communities where the Vampire is to Iall DaGk upon those versed in natural or unnatural his tory.
 It is we'll to note the characteristics of the Vampire. for the species is about to die out. Tn its death struggles it has trespassed upon fields that do not come within its Jurisdiction. It has grown claws. usually concealed. and has. in its desperation. barred its breast to criticism for beyond it's wont.
 It is predicted that the next gener- ation of Vampires will entice by their seclusion, attract by their ex- cessive moderation. enthrall by their incorporate temperance in the matter of feathers and features. Thus the next generation of Vampires will be- come all the more dangerous.

VALENTINES DAY.

The very young people at least know that today is Valentines Day. Many of the older ones have not for gotten their childhood and the fun of hanging the valentines. sentiment al or comic. on the handle of the doors of their acqua intances and then beating 1t" with an the beat that was in them.
 Certainly the very young. and many of the older ones do not know that on this day. in 270 A. D.. St. Valcn- tine. a Christian martyr, was behcad- ed. The tragedy of the occasion. therefore. makes 1t unlikely that the custom. ancient as it is. of sending valentines on this day originated in memory of the awful event although the name of the saint is given to it.
 There is the tradition that on this custom is also traced back to the Roman Lupercalia when it was ob served. Traces of the observance of the custom have been found in the
  ancient Europe.
 So we may call today Valentines Day" eliminating the prefix-taking the thought as far away as possible from the death of the good man Cf ancient times. We may forget that the pagans observed something of the same custom that is remembered to- day.
 But it adds n pretty thought 10 the giving or sending of valentines O re- member that the birds are said to have indicated to each other that they cared for one another. One may think of the very young birds and the very young children. timidly of fering their expressions of affection and then. frightened by their bold ness. flying away in the darkness of the evening.
 And to the older people may 1t be suggested that a little valentino for each member of the family would not make the evening gathering less pleasant-nor would the young man be ridiculed by hts "best girl' if he, too. remembered the day with pretty or comic valentine in accord ance with his view of their relation ship.
 The observance of the day dds a bit of brightness to life.

preparedness would come with poor as the continuance of our naval pro- gram appears to be.
 Senator Poindexter's words in re- gard to the reporting Of the resolu- tion of the Naval Affairs Committee, are significant. The opinion of the Naval Affairs Committee" he said. ''in reporting the resolution, was in favor of an effort by the United States to obtain an agreement among the great naval powers looking to the limitation of armaments. The com mittee is not in agreement with the Senator from Idaho (Borah) on that subject. but the committee is of the opinion if. before sitting down at the conference table with those powers the United States should practically disarm itself by the suspension of tho naval construction program which is necessary to bring it anywhere near maintain its relative position with the others. it would be in a position of inferiority in the negotiations"
 Perhaps it would not be unfair to reach the conclusion that President elect Harding has not much faith in the possibility of making a working agreement with other strong naval powers in the matter of disarmament. at the same time holding to his de- nunciation of the League of Nations as 1t now exists. He has advocated a strong navy. He has more or less ''scrapped" the League. Possibly the former policy was a result of the lat ter. .t
 These positions were taken some time ago by MT. Harding. Since the disarmament matter has become so vital his position may have changed. Whether or not Senator Poindexters emarks-whiCh. incidentally. were not embodied in the report on the resolution-indicate a bit of "strad- ding or a tendency to wait before committing the Naval Affairs Com mittee more definitely, is a question. At least we may seize upon his words regarding the folly of abandoning our naval program. as good. We cannot afford to weaken ourselves. then urge other nations to follow our ex- ample. We would be wise in {this abandonment of our plans only after we are sure the other powers occu- py no better position in the matter than does our country.
