expressed by critics which he said
were often unfair because the critics
at the time happened not to be in an

Council will meet IN special session
tonight to consider the question OF
the purchase of the Lea wharf at the
foot OF Delaware street. The idea is
To have the city own the wharf, have
the walls rebuilt and remove the old
granary building. Then vessels and
tugs will have a place to tie up.
Property owners along Delaware
street have been notified that they
must nay. for the concrete curb which
was put in when the new pavement
was laid. Property owners are now
ready to meet City Council With an
offset They claim that the curb
stones removed by the contractors
were worth 55 cents a running foot
being ten cents foot more than the
concrete curb. which replaced the
eurbstone. The curbstones were
hauled away and broken up to be
placed in the bed of the street. Large
quantities of brick were torn up and
in some instances sold while in others
they were thrown into the street and
covered under the broken stone. One
property owner will send a bill TO
City Council and others expect to do
the same because they put up the
claim that their property was damag-
ed and that no one had a right to re-
move and destroy the curbstone
Consequently those who are asked
to pay forty-five cents a foot for the
curb installed demand an offset of
ffty-fve cents a foot for the curb
that was removed and destroyed.
