Carrillo and A. Mooser. who are among
our most active and enterprising citi-
zens, have for some time been at work
on the question of building q pleasure
wharf in front of the town. They and
q number of others have given much
time to the question, purely from a pub

to bond the town for its construction. 1t
appears to your correspondent that q
vast majority OF our people are in favor
of the scheme.
A special meeting of the board of
trade has been called for Thursday to
consider the matter and then to lay 1T
before our city trustees.
