ASK SE|Tz OPINION
ON CLOSING WHARF
Board of Public Works Decides to
Obtain Solicitors Views Pend
ing Recommendation

At its meeting yesterday afternoon
the Board of Public Works decided to
obtain an opinion from City Solicitor
d. S. Seitz relative to closing entirely
the unsightly gap in the river wall at
Market street and thus eliminate the
coal wharf. Upon the solicitors reply
will depend the character of the legis-
lation on the problem which the board
will recommend to Council.
In the meantime James Shope, a
former employe of the board and now
in the park department. and Elbridge
W. Cowden. one of the assistant engi-
neers of the board. will prepare neces-
sary etchings for the treatment of the
point. This will include the closing of
the gap in the wall. BY the terms of
the recent agreement between the city
and Sucker Brothers Construction
Company. the wall contractors, pro-
vision is made for the building of five
more sections of steps at Market street
so that the opening will be narrowed
to eighty feet.
Commissioners Bowman. Lynch and
Taylor and City Engineer Cowden yes
terday visited both Paxton and Yer
beke street landing with view to
determining just what should be done
by way of treatment for the accommo-
dation of the coal fleets, which, with
the exception OF the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company, will land at Mar
ket street. The high water, however.
prevented a thorough inspection of
conditions.
The board decided to suspend the
bulk Of the improvement operations
until the weather opens up again and
the entire staff of tine field and office
men. with the exception of Principal
Engineer J. D. Justin and Assistant
f. w. Cowder and Lewis Shoaf, were
temporarily suspended for several
weeks
