', vuld seriously harm the usefulness of
the wharf and substantially decrease it's
value. They would also seriously inter-

ice from O,e foot of College street.
We arc of the opinion that the appronch
to the wharf should be larger than that
offered by Mr.. Writer'S. and fully MS large

order to render the wharf reasonably use
full 1t is said that this space will in any
case always he kept open for use as an
approach to the wharf. That such will
he and remain the case is what your
committee believe should be assured in
tho deed or decree.
1t is conceded that no representation
was made to the board of aldermen until
Mr.. Wittcrs's deed was first submitted to
the board. other than that the city was
to have the wharf Just as it now stands,
and the foo: of college street Just as it
now stands. Nothing whatever had been
said to the board Of aldermen In regard
