of commerce and shipping, and for the use of
riverfront property or other property, whether abutting
the riverfront or not, and whether located within or

and manufacturing purposes to the extent deemed
advisable in relation to the operation of established
wharves and docks, and providing for the construction

Supp. No. 13
536.1
§ 9 1/2 -32 BOATS, BOATING, DOCKS AND WATERFRONT § 9 1/2 -32
warehouses, tunnels, belt railway connecting with all
railway lines within the city, and such cranes, dock
apparatus, and machinery equipment as it may deem
necessary for the convenient and economical accom-
modation and handling of watercraft of all kinds and

the railways and the waterway. Said plan shall be
filed in the office of the board and be open to public

other city -owned lands or properties as the city

have the exclusive charge and control of the building,
rebuilding, alterations, repairing, operation, and
leasing of said property and every part thereof, and of

construct street improvements or sewers on such
streets and alleys, and abutting and adjacent property
will receive special benefits therefrom, such improve-
ments or sewers may be ordered constructed by said
city council and the cost thereof may be assessed by
said city council, to the extent of such benefits and as
provided by law, upon and against all lots or parcels
of real estate, whether publicly or privately owned, as
may be specially benefited thereby, provided that the
plans and specifications of the city council for such
improvements or sewers be first approved by the dock

front buildings; adoption as ordinances: The board
shall have power to make general rules and regula-
tions for carrying out of the plans prepared and

or artificial constructions upon or adjacent to the
waterfront of the city, whether the same shall be done
by the board or by others; and except as provided by
the general rules of the board, no new structures or
repairs upon or along said waterfront shall be
undertaken, except upon application to the board and
under permit by it and in accordance with the general
plans of the board and in pursuance of specifications

application. The general rules and regulations of the

showing of an absence of a reasonable return, deny permission to
demolish; provided, however, that a denial of permission to de-
molish shall prohibitsdemolition for no more than four (4) months
from the date of application for a permit to demolish, unless at
the expiration of four (4) months, adjustments have been made
which allow for such a return. During this time the commission
shall endeavor to formulate, with the owner, an economically
