We notice that the Cincinnati Gazette
and two or thros .eher papers repeat
the false statement Of the Louisville
Courter- Journal. that The city Of Ey-
ansville charged towboats wharfage,
when they only land for ice, stores
and other supplies. The rule ii hero
that boats which receive and discharge
freight and passengers arc charged
regular wharfage, ranging according
to tonnage from 81 80 to S12. Regu-
lar passenger and freight boats doing
no business are charged half-price. |
ToBboats landing for provisions, ice,
