Pomeroy to Get Wharf Boat at Public Landing

Beegle and Capt James H Sanford secured a three month franchise starting October 1 for placing a wharfboat at Public Landing at ten dollars per month. The move follows ice damage to the Downie wharfboat and ties to the nine foot project and rising river traffic. If Capt Gordon Greene approves with Green Line arrangements the boat may be in operation by early next month. Sanford, a longtime steamboat pilot, hails from near Apple Grove.
