A gentleman who lives down tho
bay asks us to suggest that the city
authorities make better arrange
ments for the landing of boats at thu
city float. The ascent to the d0cl
therefrom, is at all times inoonven
lent, and at some stages OF the tids
dangerous, and there is no provision
made for safety of products brought
to town or taken away, when theil
owners back is turned. This trad,
with our town is valuable and grow
ing, but occasionally some OF it i.
lost by Ay-by-night small craft from
rival points. 1t would cost but littl,
to make the landing place safe ant
convenient, and it should be made
some ones business to care for thi.
tributary trade.
