Mr. Hottenroth was ratified and confirmed by the Board. The said report recommended that compensation be made to Mr. Hottenroth to be fixed by the Board after the results of his efforts became manifest upon the conclusion of the proceedings. Since this time and on April 29, 1919, the Chamberlain of the city of New York tendered a check for $28,166.72, to be placed in the State treasury for such damages. Mr. Hottenroth claims that he was entitled to the sum of $5,483.05 for his services and disbursements in connection therewith. This matter was referred to me for a recommendation as to the amount of money to be paid to Mr. Hottenroth for his services, and I accordingly recommend that Mr. Hottenroth's bill be audited by your Honorable Board at the sum of $5,350, in full for services and disbursements. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES D. NEWTON, Attorney-General. STATE OF NEW YORK, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL, ALBANY, November 5, 1919. BEFORE THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON THE HEARING OF REMONSTRANCES OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE LAND OFFICE. On the Matter of the Application of the Red Star Towing and Transportation Company for a grant of land under the waters of the East River in Powells Cove in the County of Queens for beneficial enjoyment. The remonstrances against this application were filed by the Malba Estates Corporation and the Corporation Counsel of the City of New York. Numerous hearings have been had before your Committe upon this application. The lands applied for are similar lands to those formerly applied for by the same Red Star Towing and Transportation Company in 1917, which application upon the report of the Standing Committee was denied on April 25, 1918 by your Honorable Board. Your Committee find that conditions have not substantially changed in this vicinity and they, therefore, reconmend also the denial of this application. CHARLES D. NEWTON, Attorney-General. JAMES L. WELLS, Treasurer. FRANK M. WILLIAMS, State Engineer and Surveyor. |
