How to carry out q. $4,000 under
taking on an appropriation of 100000
was the problem which ,nc Committee
on Improvement of the James River
faced last night. and only partial
solution was reached, Following the
purchase last year of u strip of land
facing on James River for about 700
feet from the mouth Of Gillie's Creek
TO the foot of Nicholson Street, for
the Joint purpose of providing road
way to Fulton above high water, and
the construction of public shipping ia
cilities City Engineer Boiling prepar-
ed plans for a bulkhead, wharf and
wharf house, the bulkhead being csti-
mated at $4,000 and the house at S.
600 The estimates were checked over
by Col. Yonge, United states engineer
in charge of government work on the
James River.
When the Committee on Finance
made tho annual budget. IL provided
an item of $4,000 for James River
docks. Since that time City Engineer

City Engineer F'ontaine Jones has in.
spccted wharf and bulkhead construc-
ton in Newport News and Norfolk, and
detailed drawings and specifications
to the committee last night. with the
statement that the house could be
erected later. as 1t would require
about six months to construct the
bulkhcad.
should Build for Entire Length.
Mr.. Boiling strongly advised that
the bulkhead be built for the entire
length of the curve indicated on his
rrt, Two nc Is,
1t cut in half to save original cost
it would be more expensive 10 add
the other part later. and that such
a construction would cause an eddy at
the lower end which would require
expensive and constant dredging to
Keep the channel clear. Mr.. Richard
son, the only member of the Finance
Committee present. said 1t had been
the idea OF that body that the an
preparation would probably be suf-
Gent TO cover the cost OF the initial
work in the river. which would take
some months, and that an additional
item could be provided in the bud
get of next year for the superstruc-
ture, wharf platform and houses. With
this plan in mind, the bulkhead plans
were referred to a subcommittee con-
