FOR RIVER WHARF
COMMITTEE WILL PRESENT A FAv-
 oRABLE REPORT.
City Council Al Meeting T6night VIII Consider Ordinance Carrying AD- prOpriation For The Tm-
 Dr0Vement.

It is understood that favorable re- port on the river wharf proposition will be made to the City Council at It's meeting tonight by the joint conn mittee of the Council composed of the committees on finance and public works.
 The matter has been in the hands of the committee since the first Jan uary meeting of the Council when the Mayor addressed a communication call- ing attention to the dilapidated com dition of the present wharf and urging the construction of a new wharf on the water front of the Alabama river, It Hs supposed, that the favorable report of the committee, will carry with it an ordinance appropriting the neces- sary funds for the construction of the wharf
 The joint committee held an impor- tant meeting tp the office of the Mayor last week when the question of a new wharf was discussed at length by W. F. Vandiver, president of the Montgomery Freight Bureau, and walter P. Lewis manager of the Freight Bureau.
 The city engineer presented plans for the construction of a wharf slop- Ing from the underpass to the water front, underlaid with concrete and covered with granite pavement. He said this wharf would cost approxi- mately $5.s00. The committee ap- peared well pleased with the plans but adjourned without coming to any def mite conclusion as to whether they would favor the construction of a wharf
 Yesterday afternoon a subcommittee of the joint committee met with Mir. Lewis in the ofice of the Feright Bu- reau in the Moses Building and prae- ideally decided upon a favorable re- port. A member of the subcommittee Eaid last night that 1t was Understood the Joint committee would submit a
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-03-21

favorable report at Aonights meeting of the Council. The subcommittee. which met Mr. Lewis, was composed of Alderman Lobman, chairman, and Aldermen Tyson and Gunter.
 The question of building Q new and modern river wharf has been agitated before the different city administra- tions for a number of years. The mat ter was brought before the old City Council and was referred to the Com mittee on Streets where it was pigeon holed on account of the belief that the finance of the city at that time could not afford wharf.
 It Is believed that the construction of wharf will greatly benefit Mont Komery in securing more steamboats to ply between here and Mobile, there- by greatly strengthening the traffic advantages of Montgomery. Mir. Van~ diver guarantees that, with the proper facilities and sufficient business. five boats will be run to Montgomery on the Alabama river.
 Should the favorable report on the wharf proposition be submitted, 1t will then rest with the Council as to wheth- CT they desire to stand by the -inves- tigation of the committee.

The Talladega Electric Power Company's plant on Choecolocco Creek is shut down on account of the high water, which has backed up to the race so that no power can be de- veloped. The race Is under water, and the amount of damage, if any, cannot be ascertained. It was thought that the water wheel was above high wa ter mark, but the deluge of Sunday and Sunday night caused the water to rise higher than ever known before.
 Talladega Valley is drained by stream which flows through the west ern enid of the city, and 1t overflowed and covered acres of ground, necessi- tating the closing down of several man. ufacturing enterprises yesterday. all of which, however, are now running.

OFFICIALS TO RELIEVE FREIGHT
CONGESTION

RENO, Dec. 18.-A new phase has
presented itself in the freight situa-
ton. Cars of freight have been moved
from Spaks east and from points on
the Tonopah and Goldfeld Railway for
points eaest and west, and have becom
congested at Nina and Winnemucca
So while the yards at Sparks were
comparatively cleaned up, shippers
were complaining of the non-arrival of
goods just the same.
Last Saturday night, Assistant Su-
p~erintendent j. T. Rawlins and Road
Master w. j. Stinson left Sparks for
Winnemucca, where they have been
supervising the moving of freight from
that station and nearby points. Yes
terday morning Superintendent E. G.
Manson arrived at Sparks, where he
took charge of operations from that
point. He will remain there a week
and probably longer, until the congese-
ton is entirely moved.
This morning three double-headers
of freight were moved from Nina
where they had been tied up waiting
for shipment on the Oregon Short Line
This leaves that point clear now, but
reports have come in that the Goldfeld
and Tonopah Railroad has more bust
ness thar it can handle, and that it
will be some time before a great many
carloads if freight can be moved from
various points on that road.
Tonight j. T. Dunno, superintendent
of motive power, and f. j. Malone
master mechanic for this division, will
arrive at Sparks OF a special car to
aid in the moving of freight from this
point.

ing life.
Saturday morning Harris approached
Roy Stoddard, the business manager
for the .Arm of Stoddard Bros. and ask
ed him to sign a contract for an ad.
Mr.. Stoddard took an ad and gave a
check amounting to 50 for it. Harris
took the check, doctored it up so that
it read 5000, and then cashed it at
Cook & Compnny's bank. He then left
the city. Since then nothing has been
heard of HIM.
