Lack of Wharfing Facilities.

The want of room in the Washington
harbor is shown daily when vessels have to
lie out In the stream awaiting a vacant
berth at a wharf where they can unload
their cargoes of wood. lumber and other
material. The Washington and Potomac
Steamboat Company is in a quandary for
the want of berth for one of It's steamers
the I. V. Arrowsmith. The line has six
steamers. five of which are in service 1t
has a big pier at the foot of Sth street and
another on Water street between M and
streets southwest
When all the steamers are in port two
can be berthed at the Sth street. pier and
two at the other pier. leaving one steamer
without a resting place. The Smith has
been lying at the 9th street wharf of the
American Ice Company, but now that ice
laden vessels are coming in and the ice
wharf Is being used by them the steamer
has no regular abiding place and changes
her berth nightly. Unless some plan is ar
ranged to make more berthing room in the
harbor the steamers will have to anchor in
the harbor or tie I'D to the sea wall of the
fats. should there be an addition to the
fleet.
