P’ollowing the announcement of the
plan to utilize Montauk Point as a
terminal for bjg ocean liners, news
comes from Washington today that a
survey of Fort Pond Bay will be made
promptly with a view to developing it
into a great port of entry. This order
will negative the Morgan scheme" for
the extension of North River piers.
Senator Depew’s amendment to the
pending River and Harbor bill, provid­
ing for the survey, was adopted unani­
mously yesterday by the Senate Com­
m ittee on Commerce. The committee
voted to report in favoi; of immediate
instructions to the army engineers to
begin the survey. There is little doubt
the Senate will adopt the report. An
amendment similar to Depew-’s was of­
fered in the House by Representatives
Cocks. Concurrent approval pf the
project any day.
Experts familiar with conditions
here could, not sanction the Morgan
plan for berthing the new giant ships
in the r\ver because they were unwill­
ing to declare expedient or safe the
further restriction of the channel for
navigation. It is believed the Harbor
Line Board will definitely reject the
Morgan petition on the ground that
Montauk Point soon will afford all the
facilities for docking required by the
largest ships.- Evening Journal, Thurs­
