This announcement was made yesterday at the Merchants Association of New York. The Industrial You Can Pay as You Can two more piers will be built. The en-tiro plan has ben Indorsed by the Transportation Committee of the Greenpoint -'hamber of Commerce. The State Government has to all.

the, land jiecjdpd $arge canal terminal at Erie Basin and is leaving the, Beard' Estate to the courts the question -as td bow mucli of the property already belonged to the Stat' and how much to the Beard heirs. The State claims that none of the land uuder water in the big basin, over 2,000 feet in length, belongs, to private parlies, but was avvays the property of the State, Attorney General Carmody holds that all the Beards can claim title to is a small piece of upland which he alleges Is not worth more than $100,000 or less than $40,000. The matter of title is now being considered by the Supreme Court and the valuation by the Court: of Claims. In the meanwhile the State, is going right ahead with the work of Improving tbe property and at once two piers, each 1,200 fet in length by 150 feet in width. Rapid Progress on Barge Canal.

Such great progress has been made on the 2.5uu-ton barge canal that recently State Engineer Bensel took a party of members of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce through 200 miles of the completed canal. It is expected that the entlfe work will be completed by 1915. The only thing that will delay it beyond that time will be the obstacles that the New York Central Railroad may place in the progress of the work in delaying the reconstruction or removal of its bridges over the canal, the latter involving a change of tracks. The matter is now being threshed out In the courts, and it Is hoped that an equitable legal agreement will be reached between the railroad and the State at an early data. The revolution that the completion and operation of this canal will have on the commerce of the Port of New York, It is said by maritime and commercial experts, will be tremendous.

At present there Is a differential given by all railroad lines In favor of Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore snd other cities as against the City of New York with the acqulscenco of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Upon the opening of the Canal, goods can be carried over that deepened waterway In many classes of freight at one-seventh the present railroad charges, and what is more Important, they can be carried over the tireat Lakes to Chicago or Duluth In the barges without transshipment. Ten Million Tons of Westbound Merchandise Will Go Through Canal. At present, goods going over the Canal for points West hnvo to transship by trucks In Buffalo to the lake steamships or the railroads. A promt-, nent New York shipping expert says that the merchants of this city will furnish 10,000,000 tons of westbound freight yearly for the great waterway.
