REPAIR WORK STARTING
ON WRECKED WATERFRONT
The work of repairing the dam
age to the Nenana waterfront, be
low A street, will begin very soon.
A piledriver was brought in from
the line early this week and the
boiler is now being housed in pre
paratory to starting the work of
putting new piling in place. And
by the time that work is completed
all arrangements probably will have
been made to fill in the big hole
with brush and lagging.
The contract for delivering the
lagging has been let to Anthony
Letray.
Since the last issue of The News
a large additional area of water
front has caved in and that por
ion of it which was first to give
way has now entirely disappeared,
sluiced out by the current of the
river which was released from the
ice by the crashing piling and gravel
behind the bulkhead. The break
now extends from the lower side
of A street to the commission dock.
MADAME RENIO

it of those desiring readings. Un

itudio in the Cooney hotel.
