Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, June 24.-That the
use of the cylinder piers was an ex-
pensive experiment, and that they may
be replaced profitably with piling-two
for each cylinder-is the decision Of the
city fathers regarding the pier, which
suffered considerably from the heavy
seas of Sunday and Monday last. Two
hundred and twenty-eight pilings will
be driven under the outer wharf and
thirty at various points under the other
part of the pier. Contractor Mercereau
will probably begin this work within a
few days and will have the pier In safe
condition for the Fourth of July crowd.
AS soon as possible the councilmea
expect to have built stone breakwater
across the south extremity of the pier
as a permanent improvement. The driv-
ing of the necessary piling will cost, 1t
Is estimated, about $4,000.
The pier, which had been closed to
traffic since Monday morning, was
thrown open to pedestrians agin this
morning. The heavy swells have sub
sided. ~.
