(FERRYBOAT
I HIGH AND DRY
Tlie ferry boat, whioli wad fro/.ou
fast in the ice, by dint of the hardest
ki&d of work that covered several days,
is at last in a position of relative
safety. W. A. Shepperson, who had
ihe contract for the boat's, removal
pronounces the job one of the hardest
that he ever nudertook. The jerry,
which is the largest iu this section,
weighs at least 30 tons and after cut
ting it loose from the ice the tug of
war really began. Iu bringing the
boat op to its present position it had
to be raised some eight or ten feet and
carried over a heavy ridge of ice cubes
deposited below the river bank by the
last flood. Two large orabs were em
ployed, each manned by four men.
Programs was slow, induori, several
davs iu all being occupied in the work.
The hig boat is Htill sumo eight feet
below the level of Water street aud its
timber* are badly bent and twisted by
reason of the slanting nature of the
sarface it rests np ou. The ferry boat
is eighteen feet wide anil Mr. Shep
persou says he was not permitted to
raise the craft op ou top of the river
bank, as it would have obstructed
Front street. Hh regards the boat a«
perfectly safe iu its pre.-ent position
and says that it can very easily be tak
en caro of when tlie ice moves.
It is worth a strong eltort to pre
serve the boat, as the annual break-op
is nearly dac t after which it is hardly
likely that the river will agaiu close
with ice. The ferry can soon go into
commiFsion again and it will no doobt
have a career of usefulness ooxeriug a
couple of months at least pendiug the
final completion of the bridge.

COMPLETING ONE
' BF TJEJDBWAIIB
, Onr oitizeus just now are very ani
t iously watohing the progress of work
, tlio sidewalk of the river bridge
-3 with the lingering hope that some ar-
I rangcinent may be effeoted between
[ the County Commissioners and the con
t tractors whereby pedestrians may be
permitted to os« the bridge before the
structure is completed and thrown op
en for trafflo. Nearly all the lioge
112 iron brackets are in position and it
, wonld seem that the opper side of the
bridge might be made ready for foot
I passengers in the coarse of a coaple of
i weeks.
Daring an interview with Commit
sioners' Clerk Horaoe 0. Bine yester
day it was learned that the Board hae
already given the matter some thought
and that if it proves at all prautioable
foot passengers will be be given per
i mission to oross before the bridge ia
wholly completed,
i Engineer Leonard, who has the con
straotiou in charge, when in town the
othar day was consulted on the mat
i ler. He was favorably inolined to
ward the proposition.bat thongbt that
the contractors might ask to be re
leased fro in all liability for injury
sustained by persons crossing while
the work is in progress. At the same
time lie was not prepared to aay
whether with coustraotion at its pres
ent stage a person on the sidewalk
wonld be exposed to much or any dan
ger. He felt snre only that the con
tractors, who are responsible for oas
aalties, woald not want to assume •
any risks in the premises.
The matter opto the prosent has
been barely more than talked of. At
the same time, if some arrangements,
can be made whereby persons crossing
do so at their own risk it does not
seem oat of the question that the
bridge may be thrown open to pedes
trians in the very near fatnre.
No Building Boom In Sight.
The faot seems pretty well establisb
ed that Danville will not enjoy a
building boom the ooming spring. The
several contractors see plenty of work
ahead in the form of remodeling houses
and the making of the usual spring re
pairs. Merchant Tailor, E. D. Penta
early in the season wilt build a frame
dwelling on the lot reoentiy purohas
ed by him on East Mahoning street,
adjoining the manse of the Mahoning
Piesbyterian clioroh. A very flue resi
dence to be built by W. H. Lattimere
on Front i-treet is among the possibili
ties tor the coming season. Beyond
these, however.no bailding operations
ate in Bight, though it Is very likely
that a little later in the season a few
new houses will he heard of. Lait
year several new buildings went np
and it would certainly be odd If with
the advantage of two trolley lines and
other improvement there wonld not be
increased activity in building oirolei
this year. Architect J. H. Brugler
states that the number of new build-,
iug-i planned in any of the neighbor
ing towns is uot large. The new build
ings decided upon will be mostly dwel
lings, of the modern type, bat only
moderately expensive. One of tbeaei
will be a residence in Berwick to oast
some 113,000 to be built by W.F. Low
rie, General Manager of the American
Oar and Foundry Oompany.
