uT We have so frequently alluded to the wretch
ed condition of our steamboat landing in low stage
of water and urged its improvement to so little pur
pose, that it looks like folly longer to keep the mat
tE. before the minds of our citizens by any sugges
tons on the subject, yet cannot refrain from
gain abiding to it, and urging action upon it,
When the river is at its present low stage, (and it
is equally low about two months every season)
steamboats, experience great difficulty in receiving
and dischargng freight and passengers, every one
must observe. As this has been, is now, and must
continue to be the case until wharf shall be erect
ed, it will be cupabe negligence in us longer to per-
mil it SO to be. 1t is true that the times too hard
to undertake expensive Improvements, even though
they be necessary, yet the difficulty can be
without mourning any expenses greater than are
prepared to meet. The pressure of the times has
thrown numbers of industrious laboring men out of
employ ment, who, for the purpose Of paying debts
necessarily incurred in consequence of their inability
to procure constant employment, would undertake
the job of erecting wharf at price much less than
would be asked in seasons of prosperity. Then, by
the immediate improvement of our wharf, employ
ment may be given 10 those in need of it and dou-
bic good be effected thereby, and all the expenses be
paid without the expenditure of great sum in
cash, subscriptions might be made in such man.
to suit the subscribers without injury to the
interest of thecontractor.
Were we to suggest plan for the erection of
wharf, we should with view to its permanency,
recommend the building Of one of broken stone,
piled on each side and on the point, filling in the
intervening space with dirt, and covering the same
in the manner of McAdamized turnpike. One
constructed on this plan would be permanent resist
ing efectuay, the force of the ice upon the break
ing up Of the river. We have talked with numerous
citizens on the subject, and find that numerous arc
the plans entertained by them as to the best method
to be pursued at present, but all agree as to the me-
cessity Of its early improvement. Giving every
consideration its due weight, we are of opinion that
the best plan now to be pursued, will be to circulate
subscription paper for the erection of temporary
wharf by placing heavy trussels in the water for
sixty seventy feet from the shore or waters
edge, and placing loose plank upon them, in the
shape of bridge. This will accomplish our pres
ent wants, at but tsifing expense, as the lumber
used, cam when the water rises, be taken away and
used for other purposes
AS our citizens have, in numerous instances.
show themselves to be liberal in such matters. we
hope some of them will take the matter in hand re-
solved not to abandon it till something for the inn
proven1ent Of the wharf shall be done.
