1t is now seen that there can be
no farther absorption in the front
of the town without imperiling the
existence of Mulberry street as a
front line of buildings. Ifthis line
is broken at one point, 1t must be
abandoned; | deprecate the con-
tinuance of that movement to the
rear which has been for some time
in progress, and could wish it were
averted and delayed by some sys-
tenn of improvements.
To those who have seen what
has been done in other towns on
river and sea fronts, it would
create astonishment that it should
be thought that the naked banks
is sufficient basis upon which to
transact all manner of business.
If only the interests of those 10.
Gated on the banks was concerned,
this idea might seem more tolera.

But what do we sect At a low

tie bank, in way that would do
credit to mining operations in the
siege of fortresses. And | have
not observed the first instance in
which any one so doing has done
anything to strengthen the sides
of these excavations, to prevent
their falling in, nay, in time of
caving parties are privileged to
dig away the bank to obtain mate.
rial for the Improvement ofprivate
property; and if any one remon
strates, he is simply told, "Oh; ii
is bound to cave in anyway"
am of opinion that some
rules should be adopted in this
matter, and that q commissioner
be appointed to see them carried
into effect.
If temporary expedients are to
be adopted, some system of mask.
ing the bank might be employed,
either with wood or iron. An in.
vention of the latter kind was
some time since proposed bya cit.
izen of Greenville, and the former
was employed before the war with
very good results. This would do
away in a great degree with the
effect of eddies, which everywhere
exist above and below wharf boats,
barges and fiat boats, or a iutting
point of the bank. In sea fronts
this is done by row of piling GOV.
cred with planking. Some think
q great deal could be done by the
sinking of barges loaded with
stone.
Some of these things would have

town.
The focus of the current seems
by the widening of it's sweep, L
be moving constantly down to

the absorption of large areas o
land as at Argyle, the latter expe
dent might have to be resorted to
to prevent the whole site of tn,
town from being swept away.
Thus 1t will be seen, whatever
may be thought in some quarters
that the danger is by no mean
confined to those persons haviny
an interest upon the bank of tn
river. We believe, moreover, tina
there is a solidarity of interes
among all classes of citizens, how
ever located. Ifit should be mad
, to appear other wise, It would b.
an insuperable obstacle to the oh
tanning, at any time, of an appro
, priation from the government.
On the contrary we shonld cor
