The Della says some legal gentlemen have dis
covered that there il nothing to prevent the NUM-
cpalisiss from leasing their wharvss at less price
than ordered By the General Council. But the
Delta says the Mayor has vetoed the ordinance
only to allow the Council the opportunity to pass it
by unanimous vote. But what argument does
that paper draw from this fact in favor Of consoda
ton? The Second Municipality derives about
$40 600 revenue from four hundred feet Of wharves
The First Municipality is willing to rent three hum
dred and forty feet for $2400
Does not this eagerness to dispose Of its wharves
at such price, show the languor Of trade in the
one? Doss not the high price derived by the other,
from nearly similar extent Of front, prove its pros
perity and activity? Why should the Second
Municipality wish union with corporation whose
most profitable property is Of SO little value?
Suppose the entire front could thus be rented
A few spectators might nonopolize the Levee
and charge their own rates.
The set Of 1886 gives the Municipalities the
right Ito designate the particular portion Of the
landing opposite thereto which shall be allotted to
the different species Of boats aud vessels." But
the concession Of this limited power necessarily
excludes that Of slotting to particular individuals
any portion. The Delta itself is convinced Of the
