The scarcity OF unskilled help Is
due to the fact that the draft has

SEA WALL AT
PARK RUINED
BY BREAKERS
Failure of Contractors to
Support Structure Which
Has Taken Two Years to
y Build Results in One Third
Of Wall Being Swept away
by the. Heavy Seas.

Damage estimated to be in excess
storm at Seaside park yesterday when
more than one-third of the seawall
connecting the park with Fayer-
weather Island was practically des-
troyed. The T. A. Scott Co., Inc. as
sumes the entire loss.
The contract for the work was
awarded more than two years ago
and after two years OF steady work
it was very near completion City
Engineer A. II. Terry and George M.
Eames, president OF the Board of
Park Commissioners, viewed the dam
age from a distantp oint at o'clock
this morning but because of the high
tide were unable to determine the
actual damage Another survey will
be made at low tide this afternoon.
Speaking Of the matter today
Eames, said, 4 feel very sorry for Mr..
Scott, because he has worked hard
and under difficult conditions for two
years The loss to him will be Sc
we're as he has only been paid $S0,00o
by the city. They are a very reliable
firm and it is indeed very unfortun-
ate occurrence"
Lack of filing in back of the wall is
said to- have caused the damage. 1t is
reported that the contractors were
unable to do that work because OF
inability to get pumps at work.
The .seawal1 was being built as a
foundation for a driveway from the
park to the island, recently purchased
by the park board. A delay Of at least
six months will result from the storm
damage.
