Most of the river GOATS have received
their regular overhauling and been put
In readiness for the summer season. IL
II has not been done already a rigid ex-
animation should be made of all life pre-
servers and belts and a test made OF
them TO find out whether they are made
as the law directs or not. Strict orders
should be given that the life boats and
RATS are ready for immediate launching
and that the crews understand how It is
10 be done. Boat drills should take place
every day and every precaution leading
TO the safeguarding Of the public should
be taken.
couple of Portuguese sailors had an
Involuntary bath last night as they were
getting into their boat to row OF to one
Of the barges anchored In tho stream.
AS II was about time for their annual
ablutions nothing said about the
matter by the captain other than he was
afraid that they might get cold taking SO
much dirt off all at once. The harbor
master has not as yet reported any un-
usual deposit in the harbor.
Work on the approaches to the Point
street bridge is fast nearing completion
and when finished promises to be one "
the best pieces of work done by the con-
tractor for the city. Travel in this di-
rection both by the bridge and water
seems 10 be on the increase and the
bridge men surely earn their salaries. Tho
work should he divided into three periods
Of eight hours each TO be fair to the men.
and we trust that the city will see its
way clear TO arrange this.
