S6,65o FOR WHARF SITE
That Is the Amount Fixed by the
City Council Last Night.
piOt of Innd about 90 Feet square
Next south of the Foot of College
street Duly Condemned for
the Public Dock

Matters connected with the public wharf
meeting of the city council last evening,
All Of the members were present except
Aldermen Pease. Pine and Edwards.
The committee on public wharf made
the following report, which was accepted
and placed on file.
Tho committee on public wharf. to
whom was referred the matter Of right
of way, also a more definite plan of the
property representing the proposed site
for our public wharf, would respectfully
report that they have considered the
same and in regard to the matter of
right Of way your committee recommend
that access to the wharf be secured by
crossing the railroad tracks at the foot
of College street, said crossing to be
full width of the street AS to a more
definite plan of property your committee
refers you to plan as submitted by the
city engineer and which accompanies this
report. In addition to the above report
your committee Will say that steps being
taken to sequeStcr said property in &C
cordance with its recommendation, and
the act under which we proceed, requires
certain things to be done. such as show
ing the necessity for said wharf APP
praisal of the property and other things
including location. Your committee will
say first that this site was selected by
reason OF its being centrally located, sec
ond because the Central Vermont Rail
way company claim to own the greater
portion of our lake front, including this
frontage, although using very little of
the same for railroad purposes. AS to APP
praisal of the property your committee,
being aware of the facts as stated above
in regard TO use for frontage, and this
particular property having lain practical
ly idle for a large number OF years we
feel that $3.50 would be a very liberal
sum as to price of said frontage. As to
the necessity for wharf we feel that
when the city council acts in accordance
with our recommendation It represents
the wishes of the citizens of burlington,
who have on three different occasions in
city meeting declared in favor of the
City of burlington owning public
wharf.
