River Street Residents Wade.

The residents of the north end
of River street are not to be
censured for kicking over the de
plorable condition of that street.
It's one bunch OF sticky clay and
water not quite up to ones neck

fix it partially last fall, still no
attempt was made 20 furnish the
pedestrian with a makeshift
walk. The street is practically
impossible and the sidewalk is.

NEW DOCK A REALITY
Town Board Decide in Favor
of New Boat Landing---To
Commence Work Soon.

In this issue ofthe News will be
seen the contract notice for tie
construction of the new dock to
be built on the river this spring
The new doekage space had been
talked of and mentioned in these
columns. last week as a possibili-
ty but at the meeting of the
town board Thursday the mem
bers voted in favor of its CON
struction and details of its speci-
6cations were drawn up.
The dock will be located in the
Eagleriver extending from the
center pier of the wagon bridge
up the center, thread of the chan
mel a distanceof200 feet and will
be-teu feet wide. 1t will be reach
ed BY d stairway from the foot
walk of the bridge, the stairway
to have a landing halfway in it's
ascent. Contracts will beaward
ed BY the board at their meeting
April 26tII.
The four hundred feet of dock
age which this new dock will
give, will fill q long felt want
among boat owners On the lakes.
Since the feet of motor boats
has Increased, the inefhciencv of
the present dock room has caus-
ed much annoyance to boatmen
and the new dock will be gladly
welcomed by all who moor their
boats near the bridge.
4 movement which should be
made in conjunction with the
building Of the new dock would
be an ordinance prohibiting the
passage of boats through the
near the docks unless at
slow speed. The swell from
launches going through at high
speed causes the boats moored
to tug at their moorings and
bang against the docks, damag-
ing them TO quite an extent.
