STATEN ISLAND SITE

New York Definite action to promote the establishment of a free port in New York Harbour is being taken by the Mayor, Mayor La Guardia.

Staten Island will be the site of the free port if the necessary Federal legislation can be secured. A bill has already been introduced in the House of Representatives pro- viding for governmental sanction of the project. And Mayor La Guar dia has discussed the subject with Federal authorities on his frequent trips to Washington. It is under- stood that if the government's authorization in secured, New York City will apply to the Public Works | Administration for funds to con- Istruct one or more tunnels between

Staten Island and Brooklyn.

Large modern piers which cost previous City Administrations $30,- |000,000 (£5,000,000) already exist on Staten Island, but are never sed. The city sees in the free port project an opportunity to re- deem its pier investment, as well as the greater development of the Port of New York.
