Remains Of Pier Marked by Piles.

The remains Of the stone pier Of the
old Long bridge, on the Virginia side
next to the draw pier, have been marked
by three piles, driven into the river bot
tom about the stone structure, to warn
vessels of draft light enough to reach
it to keep away. When the bridge was
torn down and the piers removed only
those that blocked the river channel were
entirely removed. OF the other piers
the upper courses of stone were. re-
moved to the low water mark. At the
ordinary tides the remains Of these piles
of heavy stone are hidden from sight
by the water, and light draft launches
and other pleasure boats cruising on the
river are in danger of striking them.
To warn boat owners Of the presence of
the old piers. the ones standing on each
side of the draw piers have been marked
and warning signals placed on them, as
1t is from these that most Of the danger
exists. But few vessels go near the un-
marked piers on each side Of the river.
as the water about them is rather shall
low and boats going near them are liable
to run aground.
