THE n. & S. WHARF.
The new Norfolk and Southern wharf
IN course of erection by Sanford &
BROOKS. has begun to give way under
me pressure OF the great area and
depth of mud. and dredging has b.en
suspended for the time being.
A portion OF the south side line Of
PiilnS, which is 500 feet in length and
mas ABOUT 3A acres OF mud about II
leet deep pressing against 1t, with no
support on the opposite side. has moved
aoout feet out OF line, making very
unslEhtiy wall. The foundation in
which the piles were driven for 40 fs.t
was sort. a result of the slide when tho
pressure came on. 1t is claimed th,t
me wharf has been put down accord
ing to specifications and the fault does
not lie in the workmanship.
