Giving the management ample no

, w. B. BRADLEY, of the Richmond base
ball club. that the condition OF the

rotted to such an extent as to render
their further use unsafe. The main

as being In satisfactory condition, am

calculated To carry. But the west
bleachers must come down, and there

Question of Authority.
Directors of the State Fair have
questioned the authority Of the Build
ing Inspector in connection with the
recent condemnation OF the passenger
bridge over The railway tracks lead
ing into the grounds. for the reason
that IT is located In Henrico county.
| The directors who raise this point
seem to forget that just before the
Fair opened they asked Mr.. Beck for a
letter certifying that the bridge was
OF ample strength. and that ne refused.
and also that Mr.. Beck wrote a letter
TO President Fairfax after the Fair
OF 1910 calling his attention to the
fact that the old bridge WAS saggine
several inches, that its timhcrs were
rotting. and that It's further use would
be risky. Only slight repairs were
made. and Mr.. Beck refused to certify
that they met the objections raised in
his letter. tho bridge being still nm

Besides its physical weakness. the

of any panic or pushing of a large

TALKED ON UNTIL
They GOT QUORUM
In That Way Board OF Alder
men Finally Voted to Build
Municipal Wharf.
GOES NOW TO THE MAYOR
Plan Faced Defeat for While,
but Late Arrivals Put
1t Through.

Without a vote to spare, the Board
of Aldermen last night concurred in
the ordinance appropriating $4,000 for
the erection of timber wharf on
James River. which now goes TO the
Mayor for his approval. The ordinance
provides that the Committee on the
improvement, of the James River shall
a bulkhead wharf from the mouth Of
Gillie's Creek $50 feet TO the foot of
Nicholson Street
The Board had been called in spe-
cial session for the wharf matter only,
and when the eavel fell quick poll
showed that there was not Il two-thirds
vote I'm favor. Three of the seventeen
men present were known TO be OPP
posed. and sixteen votes were required
for the appropriation. Mr.. Bliley there
fore moved to table fearing defeat.
Mr.. Powers. leader OF the opposition.
insisted on a vote, and the question
was argued on it's merits. the letters
of the Old Dominion captains. hereto
fore read, being again discussed. the
statement being made that they ex-
pressed individual opinions, not those
of the company, and that they had been
written without seeing any chart or
, blue print of the construction proposed.
Explained by Engineer.
City Engineer Boiling was invited
on the floor and explained just wha t
was proposed. telling of the plan for a
bplkhead construction, by which the
water and current would keep the sand
/ moving and provide deeper channel,
The plans were no new design, said
Mr.. Bolling-nothing of his own inven-
tion-being merely a reproduction of
| hundreds of similar whorves. The
proposed line had not only been APP
proved by Colonel Yonge. the resident
United States government engineer. but
by the War Department at Washing
! ton, the wharf being two feet inside OF
the government line.
AS to the objections of the Old Do
minion captains that the proposed con-
! struction would obstruct traffic. Mr..
Boiling said that soundings showed that
where the wharf would go there was
now less than ten feet of water. Such
a wind as the captains feared might
drive them against the wharf would at
present drive them on rocks i'm shoal
water and endanger their vessels

advocates of the wharf entered. and
