BUILDING OF WHARF ALONG
ltKVKTMKNT IN SIGHT
Negotiations have been going on
for some, weeks between the Nome
Common Council and the Engineer
ing Commission in the mutter of
building a wharf along the revet
ment. The Engineering Commis
sion have determined to build the
wharf for the actual cost of the
labor and materials. While it may
bo. Impossible from a financial
standpoint to build along the entire
revetment this year, it is very feasi
ble to alt least put in a section or ho
this year which can be added to
from time to time.
The Engineering Commission is
going to extend the revetment from
the foot of D Street Westward this
year. It is from this point that the
City intends building the wharf.
When It is ascertained from Juneau
the length of this extension, it will
bo easy to determine the probable
cost or building the wharf alongside
the same. Information is expected
as soon as the engineers at Juneau
have made their calculations.
