ID BUILD WHARF
 AT TUSCALOOSA Bonds Will Probably Be Is- sued by City to Pay
 Expenses
By HOP"

Tuscaloosa, March 5--(Special. The river wharf situation was considera- bly, clarified this afternoon when the engineers committee. appointed recent ly to represent the Board of Trade in the matter. held its first meeting this afternoon and took the matter in hand. The final decision of this committee as to type of wharf needed here and lo- cation will in all probability be adopt ed and bonds issued by the city to pay expenses.
 It is considered certain that a wharf will be built by the city. instead of by the railroads, though it is under- stood that one or more railroads enter ing the city would be glad of the op- portunity to get control of the wharf here. The Birmingham Tuscaloosa Railway and Utilities company owns 16 acres of river front purchased with view to building a wharf.
 The type of wharf now looked on most favorably by the city commission would cost about Sl7.000. Some contend that a wharf that would meet the re- quirements of the city could be built for S7000, while other estimates run as high as $60,00o.
 Stockholders Of the Board of Trade club will meet at the courthouse to- morrow night and perfect organiza- tion. The club has a capital stock of $6000, all of which has been taken.
 The club will add many social fea- lures to the Board of Trade activities. It was organized primarily for the pur- pose of enabling the board to make a valid contract with the owners of the Rosenfeld building for its new quar- ters.
 Tho five offices and large auditorium on the third floor of the Rosenfeid building will be fitted up by this club.
