REPAIRING FISH WHARF
FOR OPENING OF SEASON

The District authorities took charge or
the fish and oyster wharf Sunday MORN
ing and yesterday repairs to the wharves
were begun In preparation for the
spring fishing season. the fish wharf is to
be put in good order first and workmen
were employed yesterday in tearing away
the platform of the old structure. Only
temporary repairs are to be made at pres
ent and the work to be done on the
wharf will consist of putting a new top
on it. This is to be made tight so that
the cuttings from the herring will not get
into the water and aid in pollution of the
river.
, Later. it is stated, the old fish and
oyster wharveS will be replaced with
modern sanitary structures, but the fish
dealers at the wharf are more than
pleased that the old wharf is to be put
in good order. The cutting of herring on
the fish wharf for the local packing
houses will start in about two weeks,
and all refuse will be taken away in
carts and Ettle~Gr nothing will be allowed
to go into the river,
William Tucker, or@aSIIncle Bill as he
is known to everybody aDeut the wharf,
who has been in charge there for the
past twenty-five years, has been employed
by the District officials to aid in colleet-
ing wharfage, and other work about the
wharf, and his retention gives peasUn'e

PRIVILEGE TO THE BLIND.
May Now Travel Over Southern
Railway Unaccompanied.

Blind persons now may travel over the
Southern railway lines unaccompanied
and will have every assistance OF the
company's trainmen while travelling, &C
cording to a notice filed with the inter-
state commerce commission by the rail-
way. The Pennsylvania railway recently
took similar action.
Rules of these two companies had pre-
viously not only prohibited blind persons
to buy tickets at any of their offices or
board any of their trains, but required
them to be accompanied by an attendant
when travelling. This, 1t is declared,
was hardship. as 1t required the pay
ment of two fares when one should have
sufficed
Many complaints about these require
ments We're filed with the commission. It
was taken up with the railroads, and the
expense it imposed on the unfortunate
ones was pointed out, with the result
that the matter was adjusted amicably.
