Other suggestions were for a perma-
nent house to be erected at a central
point with one or two floating struc-
lures to be moored along the wall in
the upper and lower ends of the city.
"Hardscrabble" was the better loca-
ton for the boathouse in the opinion
of most of the boatmen; few consid-
cred the city's island a satisfactory
place.
The lighting of the water craft at
night was threshed out at length.
Many of the old and experienced ca
noeists declared lights on canoes will
detract materially from the fun of ca
noeing; others said such equipment
would be a splendid safeguard from
collisions; still others expressed the
belief that only motor-boats should be

was threshed out from every view
point.
The principal questions discussed
were the erection of lighthouses,
whether or not they should be main
tanned by the city or by individuals,
type of construction, whether they
should be permanent or floating. and
the possible location; the advisability
of blasting channels through the Ma
clay street rifles; construction of a
wing wall" to extend northwardly
from the eastern end of the dam in
order to insure a straight-a-way boat
channel along the wall, and the light
ing of water craft.

one or more floating lighthouses to be
anchored at convenient points along

to extend the scope of the work the
personnel will be increased from nine,
as originally proposed, to fifteen mem
bers.
V. Grant Forrer, assistant park SUI
perintendent, has written to Warren
II. Manning, the city's park expert, to
get his definite views as to what the
proposed committee should act upon
first. The announcement of the COM
mittee appointments will be matter
of a few days 1t Is expected. after
which the suggestions of Mr.. Manning
will be considered in mapping out the

Discussed Many Problems

sport interests with Mr.. Manning in
the park offices. the river problem

required to carry lights while still
Others believed the problem can best
be solved by requiring canoes only, to
bear lights.
"Wing Walls" on Dam
That the danger" points along the
waterway should be marked by buoys
was generally conceded; that a chan
mel from 25 to so feet wide should be
blasted through the rifles in
the upper end of the city was also the
consensus of opinion.
One of the ideas that interested the
whole body of boatmen was the sug-
gestion of A. p. Dintaman relative to
the advisability of constructing a
wing wall" northward from the eastern
end of the dam. BY building some
sort of a wall 200 or 300 feet long, Mr..
