Excerpt from Report of the Joint Committee of the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey, on the Encroachments Upon the Bay and Harbor of New York: With the Report of Egbert L. Viele, State Topographical Engineer
Ruggles, who owns a small triangular piece of land adjoining the Navy Yard, to extend piers into the river in continuation of his shore line, which, if insisted upon and carried out, will impair, if not destroy, the usefulness of the Brooklyn Navy Yard; and Mr. Ruggles is now holding this grant, alleged to have been obtained from the land commissioners of New York by mistake and fraud, over the interest belonging to the United States Government at the Navy Yard, and is de manding exorbitant sums from the government for his right under a grant thus obtained, a matter calling for remonstrance upon the part of New Jersey, and for some kind of action, either legislative or judicial, from the state of New York or the federal government.
