The East River Gas Company of Long Island City was a corporation chartered under the Laws of the State of New York, to supply gas in Long Island City, N. | | | Emerson McMillin, President, in the early part of May, 1892, took under advisement the feasibility of constructing a tunnel under the two channels of the East River and Blackwell's Island, between Long Island City and New York, through which the gas mains of the Company might be laid. | | | The width of the channels of the river, combined with the inability to obtain equal back sights, made it somewhat risky to use a Y-level to determine the level benches on either side, and therefore resort was had to the level of the river at dead slack water. |
