  They 
  also 
  considered 
  that 
  the 
  Transportation 
  Corporation 
  

   Law 
  should 
  be

  in

  manner

  to 
  allow

   be 
  organized

  exceeding 
  $50,000. 
  

  

  The

  considered

  the 
  

   Hudson

  They 
  also 
  considered 
  that 
  an 
  act 
  should 
  be 
  passed 
  prohibiting 
  

   the 
  conveyance 
  in

  of 
  any

  and 
  providing 
  that 
  leases 
  of 
  

   such 
  land 
  may 
  be 
  made. 
  

  

  They 
  considered 
  that 
  the 
  legislature 
  should 
  confer 
  annually

  authorization

  of

  and 
  the 
  improve- 
  

   ment 
  of 
  dock 
  facilities 
  whenever 
  required. 
  

  

  They 
  finally 
  considered 
  that 
  such 
  additional 
  authority 
  should 
  

   be 
  conferred 
  upon 
  the 
  City 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  within 
  the 
  constitutional 
  

   limits 
  as 
  would 
  enable 
  the 
  Dock 
  Board 
  to 
  enter 
  promptly 
  into 
  the 
  

   possession 
  of 
  lands 
  necessary 
  to 
  be 
  acquired 
  for 
  the 
  improvement 
  

   between 
  Gansevoort 
  and 
  Twenty-third 
  streets. 
  

  

  The 
  reasons 
  for 
  these 
  several 
  recommendations 
  are
