DOESN'T WANT RIVER NARROWED.
4 Business Wan objects to the Wharf
Extensions.


There is one matter of great import
ance to the community TO which am sorry
the public has not given its attention. -
said a business ma1 on Bay street to A
Morning News reporter Yesterday "That
is the narrowing Of our river channel BY
the extension of the wharves further into
the stream. The channel was already too
narrow, and chs general extension of the
wharves is sin further reducing its width.
Some step should be taken TO limit this en-
croachment upon the river"
Did not the fixing of the harbor line
by the government define the Limit TO
which property ownels could extend their
wharves?" the business man was asked.
WAS it not The intention that the wharves
should be carried out to this hne?"
Il do not know what the government in
tended in fixing the harbor line" he re-
piled, but it is certainly bad policy on the
part Of the city to permit of the narrowing
OF the river. Our channel is only a few
hundred feet wide now and to turn big
ship around requires the entire enamel
If the property owners .e allowed TO con-
tnue their encroachments we win have
nothing left but a narrow ditch"
1t was suggested to the business man
that a considerable slice of land is to be
cut off on the other side of the river sin
widening the channel, but that it might be
well for him to call the attention of Coun-
ell to the matter. The general impression
is that the sole dictum in the matter rests
with the government through its engineers
and the statement has been freouentlv
made that il was desirable that the prom.
erty owners should extend their wharyos
10 the harbor line for the sake Of uni
formity, thus doing away with the present
somewhat uneven wharf front.
