A LARGE WHARF.
a Crib to Be Butt by tho Rutland Rail
road and the City.


Alderman IT, w. Hall, chairman Of the
special committee, has consummated the ar
rangemeuts between the city and the kut-
land Railroad company, relative to the
building of crib by the company from the
south end OF the Bevkw,tl dock to the
north end Of the pier extending to the draw
bridge and the outlet of tho sewer will be
extended out into tho lake accordingly.
This supplies the much needed remedy for
the disposal of the sewage, small portion
of which in low water has for the past few
years laid on the surface near the railroad
track, becoming nuisance. The company
has already let the contract for the con
s;ruction Of the crib.
The contract also gives the city 80
years lease of the large wharf OF 100 feet on
the lake front with a depth of nearly 500
feet which will he used for city purposes.
The total expense Of tie crib il not to ex-
coed $40, coo, ono halt Of which will be paid
by the city.
Eventually it is intended to put the
stone crush-r upon this wharf, stone are tc
be procured on the lake shore ss near a
possible, and crushed there. These stone,
it is said, will make more desirable dressing
for the streets than the stone now used and
be n large saving t. the city. in that it vii
dispense with tho hauling OF the material tx
and from the lake.
