COUNCIL ASKED

To Fight Against More EnerOaehmsntS
on Harbsr Lines.
To the Editor Of the Intelligeneer.
sIRs-A matter of vital Interest to
our city is the possible eneroachment
on the Ohio river by private enterprise
and corporations, and our city and cOun-
ty officials should have the city's inter-
ests SO prominently before them that
prompt action should be taken in the
matter. During the last few days. the
government has shown that the interest
of the Ohio valley, as a waterway to
the gulf Of Mexico, has been jeopardlz-
ed in the past and is likely to continue
to be so in the future, unless prompt
action is taken. This has come about
by (so-called) grants of our city, and
permits given in the past, without right
or reason. simply an usurpation Of the
rights OF our citizens that to-day, and
for the future. will be menace to our
business interests. The time Is now TO
demand halt, to dRmand that our
city's interests for the future be looked
to, and that no Individual nor corpora
ton be allowed to jeopardlze the inter-
ests Of all.
1t is absolutely necessary that our
county and city officials, and particular
~ our city council, should concur In the
decision Of the United States surveyors
In the matter Of the harbor OF Wheel
Ing, and for all future time, should re-
fuse further concessions as to encroach-
menta on the channel OF the Ohio river.
It is an acknowledged fact, that the
Ohio river is the most navigable
stream In America and the one OF ma
lures waterways for commerce, I'M
equaled IN the world. The city council
OF Wheeling should, and without ques-
ton will, concur in the opinion Of the
best engineers Of our government, and
we ask that they do so by an unani-
nous resolution, ask OF the secretary OF
war that he enforce regulations
against the further encroach-
ment on the harbor line OF the
Ohio river. There can be no question
IN the minds OF those interested In the
future prosperity OF our city, that such
restrictions cannot help but lnure to the
commercial interest Of the Ohio Wiley,
aside from the personal interest Of our
city, for Il Is a fact demonstrated more
from gear to year, that the restrictions
OF the harbor lines have caused in
times OF high water, an excessive
amount Of water In the wholesale dis
trlet, causing loss OF thousands OF dol
lars 20 our merchants.
1t is also fact well known, that such
restrictions are causing loss from
year to year TO our possessions In the
Seventh ward, known as the Island
district, but OF more vital Importance
than all these, is the possible interest
Of our city in slack water navigation,
when without harbor to maintain the
