Buying Launches
It is a noteworthy .fact that a great
number of ranchers who have their
holding near the river are buying mo
tor launches. Almost every day an
other name is added to the list of those
who are possessors of these useful little
craft. Many farmer are thus enabled
to bring their own produce to town and
at the same time to give tlicir neighbors
a "ft. in this connection H is a fair
finest ion to ak why the city does not
nmintuin a public slip, at the foot of
some one street, in sufficiently deep
water for the craft to ride in safety. ' As
it U many of such craft coming in to
town have to tie up where they may,
and frequently at places where, at low
tide they go aground and are liable to
sustain damage. A public slip of this
kind, would soon pay for itself and
maintain a man to look after the boats,
to prevent robbery, and fouling of the
craft at change of tide, were but a
small dockage charge made.
