That Wharf Imprevement,

That Wharf Improvement. For several months I have been looking Tor the City Council to take some decisive steps for improving the ola wharf or constructing new wharf st the riyer," said a citizen yesterday, T wonder what has become of the measure providing for these improve ments. For some time everybody was talking about new wharf and then the enthusiasm suddenly flickered out and hear nothing moro about it. If there is anything Montgomery needs greatly 1t Is suitable river land ing. The old wharf Is completely d. lapidated and utterly worthless It might as well not be there as far as boats are concerned Montgomery, a city of 50.o00 inhabitants. with bril- liant outlook for 100000 people in 1910. should have modern wharf on It's something in this direction should be accomplished.
 T don't like to see a measure pro- viding these improvements of so much importance pigeon.holed.
