Wheeling city plans long ground extension and island removal
A Wheeling Chronicle article discusses a bold city program to remove the hump on docking hill and extend Chapline and other streets, enabling low ground excavation along the island shore. It argues for a two year effort funded by small annual appropriations, enlisting island residents and new capital to spur manufacturing and housing, with plans for parks and terraces and better riverfront access.
