NEW CONCRETE WHARF
SAVES COUNTY MONEY

The new $500 concrete pile
wharf completed the latter part
of July on Fox island will be
dedicated with fitting ceremony
Tuesday afternoon. August Is.
The wharf is to be known as
the Fox Point wharf" It is the
first result of the efforts OF
W. II. Reed, chairman of the
board of county commissioners,
to reduce the large item of wharf
maintenance In his district.
The Pierce county wharves
previously constructed cost from
$1,000 10 $4,000 and the mainte-
nance would amount to rs per
cent every three years chiefly
due to the destructive teredo's
eating the piles. With the new
wharf only the upper structure
will ever have to be rebuilt, and
then only after the natural life
of the tImhen

for the line. They win be adver-
tised at once. Unless outsiders
offer to buy the bonds. the
banks have a-reacy agreed TO
take them. Orders for steel rails
and piIing will be placed at
once, and the new "Ttdeflats"
electric cars of the T. r.. q p.
viii be running on the new line
in less than three months.
According TO the agreement,
Tacoma win build the line, and
the T. r.. & p. viii operate 1t,
furnishing the cars. The T. r.. &
p. will pay interest on bonds ap'
10 per cent. and the city will
pay the remainder. After seven
years the city can either take
the line over as a municipal road
or sell IL to Stone q Webster.

being driven into the ground
like wooden ones, were fitted
with a pipe which tetted water
from the lower end, making a
hole for the pile to be slowly and
carefully dropped into.
These piles were successfully
inserted where wooden piles could
not be driven more than three
OF four feet. The only other con-
crete wbarves on the Sound are
at the U. 8. navy yard at Brem-
erton and are of a different de-
sign suitable for heavy ocean
traffic.
The new structure has caused
considerable favorable comment,
and bids fair TO make a new era
IN county wharf construction in
Pierce county.

After being approached by the
people Of this section for a wharf
the board decided they would
