Boat Club Considering Building
Floating Pier on Lake.

That the Allegheny Boat Club will
have a floating dock or pier next year
was decided at a meeting of the men,
bers of that body held Monday night
in the City Hall. Preparations for the
building of this pier will be made this
fall while the water is low, Charles W..
Ream, commodore, stated. Railroad
rails will be sunk in cement blocks
at the time when the water reaches its
lowest stage this fall so that when
next spring arrives with its rains
there will be two solid uprights on
which to fasten the floating pier.
This arrangement will permit those
who enjoy swimming to take dive
from off the pier in safety into deep
water and will also afford an admira-
BILE boat landing, no matter what level
the water reaches.
The members of the club also de-
cided to securely close the club house
for the winter and to clear the shore
line of driftwood and debris while the
water is at it's present low stage and
to make preparations for the safe
storing of the boats. About ten
members of the club were present at
the meeting.
