Finel Public Meeting of the Department of Docks—Additional Plans and Speci. fications Submitted. The Commissioners of the Dopartment of Docks assembled again yesterday afternoon for the purbose of hearing suggestions in regard to the style of docks and piers, There were present at the mecting yes- terday Commissioners Aguew (President), Smith, Wood, Hunt and Henry, Mr. Peter Cooper and seve- ral of the enthusiastic theorists who have submitted plans for piers, wharves, warehouses and railroads, and each of whom believes bis own plan to be the finest thing ever conceived. The, frat person heard by the Comuiissioners yerterday, was Mr. Sidney F, Shelbourne, who presented a pian for SEWERAGE in connection with the bulkheads. His plan bad no reference tothe style of docks, and was, therefore, entirely in regard to matters beyond the prov- ince of the Department. He was permitted to give bis idea, which was all very good in its place, but was not in this case exactiy In the right place, Up to this time no really practical man has ap- peared before the Commissioners. The invitation was extended to shipowners and masters, merchants and others directly interested in dock matters to at tend; but those who Lave made THE GREATEST CLAMOR about the ineMciency of the dock and pier accom- modations have not responded to the invitation, ‘That wonderfully loquacious and antique poay known as the Chamber of Commerce has not sent an orator, Merchants or shipowners have not been heard from, Thus far only SPECULATIVE THRORISTS had occupied the time of the Commissioners; but now a man who has ‘gone down to the sea in abips,” who is not @ theorist, who has formed his ideas from personal observation and experience, ap- peared and submitted a plan, which certainly looks feasible and practicable, The gentleman referred to is Captain James C. Luce, for many years conuected with the Collins line of steamers. Captain Luce’s plan provides for STONY PIERS AND BULKHEADS elang, each river front. The plan may ves. be under- stood by being compared to @ succession of letiers T, the portion represented by the upright extend. ing outward from the buikhead 600 feet, a being: ¥ qeet wide, the portion resembili erogs- ead being 100 feet wide and 1,200 fe¢ jong, The endsof crosshead BF 2. @ distance of 105 to Ho, Be apart, tho* ‘Caving an ample entrance THE BASINS, which are formed by the piers and crossheads, epronite the entrance, or midway between the main Piers, is another pler 500 feet in Jength, rounded ab outer end, On the crossheads of the piers the ware- houses can be built, On the bulkhead, which, ac cording to the plan, 18 to be Afty feet wide, Captain Luce proposes to burid i AN ELEVATED RAILWAY on arches, which Jatter could be used for the en- trance ways to the docks. The railway could be used to transport freight direct irom the docks to any part of the city peur where it ia to be delivered. The plan provides for sewerage through the piers, and suggests many ideas in relation to the manage- ment ot dockage, which are very good in their way. His plan, if fully carried out, wou! DO AWAY WIT THE DOCK COMMISSION, and, of course, will not be iuily adopted. He sug- gests that the docks sould be under the direction of a committee of merchants, aud that the city might have @ royalty in them, The dock masters and sujer- intendents should be selected from those who have had practical experience in shipping, and who would deal fairly witn yeasels, In the document submitted by him he gives ‘A SLAP AT TAR HARBOR MASTERS, for the manner in which Lheir work is done, and the means resorted to by postea individuals in getting good dock berths aliead of others. In reply to questions by the Commissioners, Cap- tain Luce said he “could not estimate the cost of docks and piers such as he proposed. He was not an enginecr, and only proposed the plan which, in his judgment, would be the best for the shipping and for the city, As to the great damage done to ships by stove piers, he styled the seusation raised on that point as ALL BOSH. Stone piers have been tested, and any man who has a ship in charge knows how to protectit. By his plan the vessels ying. at the piers inside the basins would be protected from the action of ice and strong currents, Tie channel in the rivers, he thought, would be Spot by having @ straight or nearly straight Hine of well. Mr. Theron Skeel then presented ® plan which proposed IRON AND GUTTA PERCHA as the new ideas in piles. The plie proper is made with a strong screw end and 16 coated with eight inches of gutta percha to act as a protector to the iron against the chemical action of the salt water. To protect the gutta percha coating from damage by ice or rocks he proposes encasing the coaied pile with a tight fitting wooden cylinder, made by splitting a wooden pile longitudinally, then d. Ing it out and fitting the sections aronnd the coated pile and bind- ing it with fron hoops, On these piles are laid cross fron girders, arranged on a new plan. The piles at the ends are higher than those nearer the middie of tie pier, and the girders are fastened to the end piles by means of iron stirrups. Across the girders are laid groved tron beams; into the grooves woodeu beams are dropped but not fastened. The flooring 1s then laid on the beams and the planks bolted to the wooden beams which rest in the tron grooves, PLANS FOR BUILDING UNDER WATER were then submitted. Mr. Burson, who labored earnestly at & previous Meeting to make those pre- sent beileve that he had a good idea for building stone piers, and endeavored by means of a tn Tresh tomato box and a number of wooden strips arra’ something like the framework of a spile driving machine to demonstrate the BIG THING which he had conceived was on hand again. His model had been amended considerably, and all that could be underswod was that he gnided a sort of coffer dam down by means of the framework, and would build a stone wail inside the tron box while he was sinking it. He was going on at some length to confuse the Commissioners and others when Mr. Agnew requested him to leave his plan and the mode! and the Commisstoners would consider it. Mr. Charles Pentez submitted & plan for building supports for heavy masonry, which was found to be Ll ad as is now being used for the Brooklyn ridge. Plans for piers were submitted by Ralph Ash- of the United States Engineer and Mr. C. Hi. Littonthal, but no person Was present to explain them. Mr. Agnew, President of the Board, announced that this was the final public meeting the Board Would hold, but that they would continue to receive plans for docks until they should determine what was deemed best for the city. The Board had now held five public meetings, and at those meetings for- ty-tive plans or specifications had been presented, and they would be duly and promptly considered by the Board. THE CROTON WATER. Action of the Department of Public Works. The Department of Public Works, under Commis- sioner Tweed, is determined to enforce economy in the use of the Croton water. The Water Purveyor in the department estimates that fully fifty million gallons of water are daily wasted In the city, the ma- Jor portion being at the piers and ferries. Commis- sioner Tweed has issued the following order to vari- ous parties aiong the river front, and he means that itsha'l be complied with, Water meters are being prepared and will speedily be adjusted at all those places where there is reason to suspect any waste, and where the following order is not promptly com- ‘piied with: — Orry oF Naw Yorx, — ) DEVARTMENT OF PunLIC WORK) Comnrsotonun's OFFICE, 237 Broadway. s To THY OWNER, LESSEE OR OOOUPANT:— In consequence of the great waste of water that in dat! and mghtly occurring alos wal am compelled to cali tothe manner tn which th it Se yon your premixos, altof the water \f doing no one any good. jeans in ite power to increase the head of water in the lower part of the city, but with tho present wasieit is impossible to maintain sueb. whe is desirable by all consumers of water, ‘This Department feels th liged to require of those having private pipes on the to attach stop-cocks to said pipes, under cover of ther off \d to turn the w ter off at that poiut from the pipes on the piers when the w: ia not required OF used for the purposes for which tbey perm! rit. are hereby required to comply with the above direo- Mons within ten days from tho receipt of this notice.
