LOSS ON WATERFRONT.

South of Market street the loss on
the waterfront proper is comparative
ly small. Several sheds will have to
be entirely reconstructed and small
repairs will have to be made to one or
two of the docks, but beyond these
slight instances the property loss is
insignificant.
There is nothing to interfere with
the unloading of ships and steamers at
any of the docks south of the Ferry
Building, save at pier 2 of Mission
dock, where collapsed shed entirely
covers the wharf
Large quantities of coal, sufficient
to supply all present needs of the
city, are stored in the bunkers south

by working with each other than by
fighting.
