SlSTERSVILLE.
sistersville. W. va, July 1s.-The
indications now are that it will be but
short time until the city will have q
very fine wharf as the result of the
continual lacking UP the city council
has been receiving from the newspa-
pers and the people in general 1t has
been fully six months since the matter
was first brought up before council,
and during that time an effort has been
made to have something done, but it
has only been at a recent meeting that
the council decided that if the neces-
sary ground could be secured that the
wharf would be greatly enlarged and
Improved. The approach to the river
as it at present is disgrace to the
worst country landing in the Chic vol
ley. There is but room for one team
to go down at a time, and in the win
ter the mud gets so deep that the horses
! almost drown themselves trying to get
through. 1t is understood that as soon
as the ground which will be necessary
| can be secured, that bids will be asked
for the Improvement and in addition
to the wharf being paved there will be
marks placed along it and it will be
| fixed up in the best shape.
