the owners and tenants of the shanry-boats
that line the banks of the three rivers. 1t was
supposed that the order to remove would have
general application, and the scare was so in

pot is at last completed. and the wharf is to be
put in shape for use by steamboats,.
Wharfmaster Crawford was seen yesterday

said: The city is going to clean the wharf up
for use, and it became necessary to remove the
shanty boats. No. there was no trouble at all,

rate of 81 so month. Beside the fact that the
boats were in the way, several of them were
