RATES OF WHARFAGE IN THE PORT OF
NEW YORK,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
Notwithstanding the well known fact that our wharves
dapdated and unsafe condition. that the slips
shallow and fast filling up that II has been clearly
established and plainly represented by the Comptroller Of
this city that the wharves do not pay three per cent
the of construction that the Common Council the
Harbor Commissioners and the committees appointed by
the legislature have all severay and frequently repre-
scented that the interests of the city require advance
the present rates Of wharfage in order that the wharves
may be kept in proper repair and notwithstanding the
fact that the rates charged In this city considerably
under those OF any port of importance in this any
other country-notwthsandin all this we see that
the SeDae Of this State have laid upon the table bill
ported favorably upon by the Committee Commerce Of
that BODY increasing the rates to something pay
ing standard.
We cannot think that the Senate was misled by tho
base assertion of Mr. Sloan, of Brooklyn that the bill
would simpose annual tax Of million Of dollars upon
the citizens Of New York and Brooklyn" because they
had given the question five minutes consideration they
would have at that the assertion plainly
ridiculous.
To refute that charge have prepared the following
table, showing the entire amount Of wharfage collected in
the harbor Of New York in year, based upon the
number Of vessels at present in port which fair
rage including those at the Atlantic Docks and also those
lying at anchor In the stream and at Jersey City,
