HARBOR BD. VIEWS
WHARF FOR REPAIRS
Will Repair Dock at Cost of
About $1,000, Which Was
Appropriated in June.

The Board of Harbor Commission
ers spent about an hour yesterday
morning inspecting the public wharf,
which they are about to have re-
paired at cost of $1,000, which was
appropriated by the Board of Alder
men for this purpose in the June
budget
President Peter G. Olsen placed
his launch at the disposal of the
board, and, accompanied by Commits
sioners Richard A. Bolger, Arthur
C. Sofeld and John c. Donehue, they
left off Mr.. Olsen's home in Water
street at 10 o'clock. 1t was deemed
expedient to make the inspection by
boat 80 that the piling under the
wharf could be looked over. The
commissioners found the spiles were
rotting away rapidly and that the
deterioration had been going on for
some time.
The dock, 1t Is believed, will need
radical overhauling, new spiles,
new top flooring and cross beams.
The present condition of the public
wharf the commissioners thought
unsafe for any heavy traffic. The
board will discuss methods for re-
pearing the dock at its meeting
August 4 and will likely ask for
bids to do the work.
