The Hates Of wharfage.

Tb. il A subject which concerns the business
and bosorns Of New-Yorkefs more nearly than the
words may seem TO indicate. Every property
owner in the City knows by sad experience, that
he 10 most roundly taxed few know that they are
40 because the rates Of wharfage are not high
enough
The City owns slips and docks 10 the value Of
about two millions or two millions and half Of
dollars which capital now nets about per cent
year. At the same time the Corporation is paying
per cont on heavy loans, and the necessity of so
doing 10 ono great reason why taxes are so high.
Now it is not too much 10 ask that our productive
capital should pay rs much az it costs. Ii is also
manifest that by increasing the income OF the City
treasury from these slips and docks, the taxes
would undergo cores pondDg diminution.
The question is whether such an increase is in
other respects advisable. II it will diminish the
business Of the City It should clearly not be made.
As for this point, it is fact that the present rates
are very much less than those charged in any port
OR the Atlantic coast, and there is room for a con-
siderable increase without bringing them near
those Of Boston or Baltimore, 50 that there seems
20 be no resson to fear that such change will
check the stream Of trade Of which New York has
become the great channel
There is a bill now before the Legislature pro-
posing what we think moderate and safe
improvement in the prices TO DO charged for ship;
Ieaving berths at our wharves. No wharfage If
authorized by it to be laid goods though that IL
practiced elsewhere. We see valid reason
why it should not be passed, and certainly think
every taxpayer in the City who is not directly In
terssted in keeping down the rates, mustse con-
elusive reason why it should. Though 1t makes
the needed change, all its provisions are liberal
and we trust the Legislature will have sufficient
consideration for the heavy burdens already borne
by the citizens ofNew York. to grant the modicum
which it will afford.
