Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Commissioners of the Land Office Relative to New York Harbor Encroachments: In Senate, January 9, 1862 It also prescribes the duties of the several applicants in relation to advertising in the public papers, their applica tions to the Commissioners of the Land Office, for grants of land under water. From the synopsis of the acts above given, it will be understood that the act of April 17, 1860, confers additional powers, or directs a different mode to be pursued by the Commissioners in their disposal of the lands therein speci fled, from that prescribed by general statute, which, there fore, becomes inapplicable in carrying out the provisions of the act of 1860. The attention of a former Board of Commissioners of the Land Office is understood to have been first drawn to these encroachments, by the report of the harbor commissioners, made to the Legislature January 27, 1857, under the act passed March 30, 1855, entitled an act for the appoint ment of a commission for the preservation' of the harbor of New York from encroachments, and to prevent obstructions to the necessary navigation thereof.
