Capt RL,Hoxie, u. 5. engineer in
charge of the Monongahela and Al
legheny rivers who was here the first
of the week, thought that building
dam No 10 below Morgantown and
snbmerging the wharf would cause
no Inconvenience if we had wharf
boat. The great majority of our
people do not agree with this view
of the matter A wharf boat may
fill long felt want, but a wharf
boat laying along side the railroad
bridge and leaving space of only
forty feet, the width of Walnut
street between the sidewalks for
teams when hauling goods from the
boat is another question. Again
people who receive and ship lumber
by the barge load will soon become
very, very weary of paying for the
privilege of using the wharf boat
1t is out of the question to talk of
the town buying the abutting prop
erty aud building a new wharf, it
| could not he done under 80 O0O
