That the city dock should be ac-
quirsd By the city for 100000 was
recon mendsd last night by the spe-
cisI Dock Committee. which has been
negotiating for its purchase for the
last ssverA montha
This action was taken after Chair
man Harry h. Pollard. Jr.. had stated
that this was the lowest figure to
which the bondholders who own the
dock would agree. although it had
been hoped to acquire the property
for 3s7.SO0. The bondholders held
out Ut frst for upward Of 100000.
The portion OF the dock included In
the proposed deal extends from Seven
teenth street TO Twenty-eighth. a dis
tance OF eleven blocks, the remaining
section. which y not regarded as es-
pecially desirable, extending from
Seventeenth to Fourteenth streets.
eASy0 100 Fur Repairs.
To place the property in shape for
use will require something like 49,
coo. according to estimates submitted
by CITY Engineer oliing. So 1t Is
evident that the actual cost con-
siderably cxcseds 100000. And even
then the dock would accommodate
only . limited class OF vessels.
II closed up, however. It would pro-
vide tho city with business and man
ufacturing sites along the river front,
with a value close to half a million
dollars, 1t u claimed by those who
have studied the situation.
And this calls to mind the fact that
the present owners of the property
were ordered some months ago by the
State Corporation Commission to keep
the dock open. That order caused
the case TO be taken to the Virginia
Supreme Court where II Is still pend
ing. Meanwhile. the deal with the
city was pushed with vigor. several
