BONDS INSURE RENT
OF ABANDONED PIERS
Commissioner Delaney Denies
That Huge Staten Island
Plant Is q Failure.

Rumors from Staten island yesterday
to the effect that the twelve great piers
that the city has built between Tomp-
kinsville and Clifton are. with tho ex-
ception of two, lying idle although ready
for use. were met with an explanation
from Dock Commissioner Delaney. who
said that while three Of the Iessees have
either repudiated their holds on piers
or have gone into bankruptcy. the city
is protected by the bonds each lessee
posted at the time Of the contract
signing.
with the exception OF one OF these
piers, Mr.. Delaney said. all have been
leased and I'm all cases bonds OF 100000
for single deck piers and $180.000 for
double were posted.
"For instance" said Mr.. Delaney. 'the
Green Star Steamship Corporation is
under a process OF reorganization. New
ertheless it has asked that II be released
from it's lease. It's bond is OF course
forfeited. The Green Star leased Pier s.
Pier 10 was leased by Edward Nj.
Raphael & Co., which has been taken
over by the Clyde Line. 1t Is our belief
that the latter corporation will operate
the pier. However, we are protected py
the bond of the Green Star.
"The Pan American Terminal and
Docking Corporation took Pier IL and
has repudAted the lease. Here, too. we
have the bond to fall back on. And IN
every one of these cases of abandoned
or repudiated leases we await only the
courts word to make leases with other
shipping interests for these wharves.
1.-THE city Is retaining Pier : for open
wharfage. But the other piers have
been taken by such responsible and go
ing concerns as the International Mer-
camille Marine, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
or Japanese Line. the French Line, the
Moore & Mccormack Company. Vessel.
Duval & Co. and the Union Transport
Company Only two piers, It is true, are
being operated now. They are numbers
Is and 16 and inasmuch as neither is
complete to that point specified in the
contract where complete operation Is
possible, this concern is paying the city
mersIy wharfage charges on each vessel
tyinS up to those piers.
Whoever Is responsible for this story
from Staten Island enormously says that
the piers have been finished for q year
That Is not So Due TO delays from vari-
Gus angles-labor. materials, machinery
and so on-the steel and concrete work
have been completed some time, but In
several there are no elevators, In Others

out, will be divided among the players

sufficient sum to materially help the

at least offset a greater portion of the
loss by fire.
The play being staged is another of
Chas. Harrison's own plays, written
and directed by him and is believed by
some who saw the first two perform
ances as being the best of the many

passes thru a cylindric chamber to a

charged by the force of air into the

can be reduced to less than seven feet

started at the Grand this week, Her

comedy drama of the very highest
class and one which will be remem-
bered for long time by every one that
sees it.
Several offers were made the Har-

them being the Rialto. but owing to
the nature OF the stage, the players
felt they would rather concentrate all
their efforts on one big benefit 1T one

who not only consented to the play
ing OF the show, but also expressed
their appreciation for what the Har-

in the promotion of better shows. by
huying thirty dollars worth of tickets
for the benefit.
