AFFAIRS OF THB DISTRICT.
The Question of Leasing Piece
of Wharf Property.

The Commissioners Requested In
Pnss Upon mn application Two
Years INSTRUMENTATION for Re
pairing Sewer Pipe in l. Street
H. w. Van Dyke, in behalf of William
Ragan, has forwarded to the Commits
sioners copy of the application, filed in
April 1889, for the use of wharf property.
which the Board has not yet acted upon,
Mr. Van Dyke calls the attention of the
Commissioners to the recent action of the
Supreme Court of the District and asks.
in accordance Herewith. that early con-
sideration be given Mr. Ragans applica-
ton.
Mr.. Van Dyke refers the Commission
ers to the decision of the Supreme Court
OF May l, 1893 which gives the title to the
tract upon which the wharves are located
to the District of Columbia. and he states
that this title will vest absolutely. when
certain squatters on this tract have been
paid for improvements. Mr. Van Dyke
calls attention to the proceedings now be-
ing conducted under an order Of the su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia,
by which the property of the squatters is
being appraised with a view to the set
tlement of their claims. As the payment
for their improvements is the OILY point
remaining unsettled in this long litigation
and as the title to the tract under the
decision referred to, and under certain
acts of Congress. vests to all intents and
purposes absolutely in the District of
Columbia Mr.. Van Dyke thinks that the
Commissioners are justified in giving the
application of his client favorable con-
sideration. Mr.. Van Dyke asks the Com
missioners to grant the application for
lease of the property and a license for
the use of the wharf privilege.
In his application Mr.. Ragan states that
the wharf privilege desired consists of
about fifty feet of land bordering upon
the river near the foot of Thirteenth
Street southwest and known as Willis
Wharf He states that he is the owner
of the boathouse upon the said lot and
that he is engaged in a general boat
building business Mr.. Ragan says fur
ther that there is no demand for wharf
there is no ship railway near this point
where ships or boats can be raised from
the water for work upon their hulls. He
maintains that such a railway as he in
tends to construct would be an immense
advantage TO the locality. Mr.. Ragan
states that the proposed structure will
cost about 81 500 and will have to extend
about 100 feet into the river to accommo-
date schooners and larger vessels. He
says there is much need of the proposed
improvements and he asks a ten-year
lease of the property, that he may carry
out his plans.

goes out, shat it will leave You free
from that tired feeling and with
none of ;he bOils, pimples and
