THE CITY FRONT.
A Proposition to Plat It and Regulate
Wharf Buildings.

II intend to suggest to the council
in the near future what consider n
very important proposition" said a
member of the city council yesterday
at is the plating Of the space for
wharves, ETC.. ON the city front. Ii is
time this matter were taken in hand
as wharf building is going on in very
hap-hazard and irregular manner at
present. and if it continues the city
front will be in condition very incoa-
yenient to shippers and vessels alike.
To regulate the matter will be great
benefit To the city and save expense in
the future. Those who have filed on
mud flats are, as far have heard. not
only willing but anxious that some
thing OF the kind should be done. for
they see that il is not a scheme on the
part OF the city to Eohble up tide lands.
The distance to which wharyes should
he allowed to be built would form a
semi-circle around to West Seattle,
and my proposition is to lay out u
broad eyenne to follow this curve.
Have the avenue say 80 feet wide
100 feet for a wagon road on the inside
and 100 feet for railroad, for there
Will Undoubtedly bt u fdlltti bLih-
ing across the flats before very long.
There would be space for mannfac-
tories and wholesale houses inside OF
the avenue. and the city might offer
space there to business men n in
ducement to establish enterprises
You understand that this space would
all be plated with places for slips and
piers, and the building of wharyes
would have 90 conform to the plat.
Then In connection with this mat
ter the city ought to regulate the dis
charging Of ballast At present they
are heaying the ballast overheard into
the bay, and complaints are made
that IL i making a bad bottom for
anchorage The city should fix two
or three places where ships could tie
tp and put their ballast out, and these
places ough; 10 be so located, accord
ing 10 the plat, that the accumnlatlne
ballast would be building piers instead

CHEAPER TO DRIVE.
The Loss Of Shipping Cattle by Rail

Mr.. Alexander Whitsou, who ar
rived here from Ellensburgh yesterday
with two carloads of cattle, said TO a
reporter last evening: I'VE now have
10 head OF cattle coming over the
mountains by way OF the snoqnalmie
pass. During the good weather we
can drive at an expense OF 81 per head
while il costs US 81 80 by rail, and the
cattle iose no more flesh by being
driven than they do standing in the
crowded cars without food or water.
Most of the stock from Eastern Wash
ington for the Sound markets will be
driven over the mountains the re-
mainder OF the season or until the
snow flies. The two carloads which
came in to-day would have been driven
had IL not been that they were re-
quired sooner than we could get them
here on foot"

WANTED. A SUPERINTENDENT.
Prof syie Notifies the School Board Of q
Prior EuRa1emart.

The school board met yesterday to
consider the bids for furnishing seats
and desks for the proposed new school
building. Before transacting any bust
ness, DIR. Minor, chairman of the
board, read a telegram to the other
members from Prof. L. ID. Syle, who
was recently elected superintendent of
schools. announcing that he had made
an engagement ut Boulder, Colorado.
which would not expire until next
May. This was surprising informa-
ton. rs Prof. Syle made a strong effort
to secure the SUPPLEMENTARY and it
was awarded TO him several weeks ago
He sent to the school board mass OF
credentials and several personal letters.
He had plenty OF time to have notified
the board of his other engagement
two or three weeks ago. IL is safe to
say that when his engagement in Colo
RADIO expires in May there will be no
opening tor him in Seattle. School
has usually opened on the first Mon
day in September. but the board de-
cisea to postpone it this year until
September IL, principally to have ac-
commodations arranged for the pupils
and also to secure another superin-
tendent in the meantime. Nothing is
yet known as to who will be appointed,
but some action will probably be taken
this week.
