has been fenced off for years.

objection to allowing persons use the
wharf, and added: ''When came here
understood that the city would place
the wharf In proper repair and give it
TO me. i have under consideration the
enlargement OF the plant and IL will be
necessary to have all the wharf.
Mr.. Gallagher held that the city can
not repair the wharf.

what ] might expect here, I" reioined
Mr.. Stewart. "That / could not
secure from the city the property

Mr.. Gallagher believed 1t would bs a
