BEFORE THE CITY
WHARF Is BUILT.

Until estimates can be secured as
to the cost of removing certain rock
lodges which obstruct the channel in
front OF the proposed new city wharf,

members discussed the feasibility OF
approving award of the contract TO a
Baltimore construction company for
S33,TS0. as recommended by the
Council Committee on James River
Improvement.
The matter was finally referred to
City Engineer Boiling to get estimates
on Blasting and removing the rock
ledge.
