Mayor George Tewers is abolish
ing the boat launching ramp which
was started last year at the foot
of Jefferson ST, on grounds that
it is unsatisfactory and presents a
hazard which could possibly in

In place of the city ramp, new

hoist at his Boat Livery, Madison
St. dock, at no charge for boat
owners wishing to launch their
craft.
Installation of the Jefferson St.
ramp was begun by the city after
instigation by the Outboard Motor
Boat Club, but Mayor TeWers said
he had talked with several boat
owners who agreed the ramp was
not satisfactory. Furthermore, said
the mayor, the ramp presents a
danger of somebody going in the
water with a car, and holding the
city liable.
He told boat owners he was
"open to suggestion" and would
