llarbOr Dues.
To THE EDITOR OF TIE ARGUS:

To THE EDITOR OF TIE ARGUS:
notice in your last issue that one
of our citizens is trying to open the
eyes of our lumbermen to the great
burdens they are under in having to
pay harbor dues of fifteen cents, in
stead of fifty cents per thousand, as
before the harbor was built.
There is only one firm in this city
who have refused to pay the fifteen
cents, and they are the men who once
owned most of the stock, and who in
duced me to buy their interest in the
harbor, and 90 on and finish it in or
der that they might, with others, ship
their lumber at reasonable rates. And
now, having done so mainly by their
inducements, they refuse to pay the
fifteen cents, at the same time Offering
to pay ten cents and say nothing about
it. And wish it plainly understood
that their objection is that ! charge
five cents per thousand more than they
did when they owned most of the
stock, and when it had cost only ten
thousand dollars, while now it has cost
forty-fve thousand dollars; and when
the law allows me to charge twenty
cents per thousand, and | consent to
take fifteen. Such is selfshness, when
they have succeeded in getting me to
make a permanent harbor, whereby
they save thirty-five cents on every
thousand feet of lumber they make,
they would, if possible, hinder me from
getting back dollar expended.
The decision they 50 kindly asked
you to publish, does not, however, re
late to this case. l well know, as b,
the advice of our best lawyers in tn
State, that our State Legislature di,
not pass law to enable private enter
prise to improve rivers and harbor
contrary to the Constitution of tn
United States.
This river is not harbor of tn
United States. 1t was made by pr
vate enterprise.

look at both sides of the question be-
fore they attempt to violate the law,
and thereby make themselves liable to
a fine of one hundred dollars and costs
in every case, together with twenty
cents per thousand for the lumber, un-
less they have good bonds from such
citizens, who are willing to back them,
and at the same time violate all moral
obligations to the one who built the
harbor, and thereby saving to the man
facturers of this city twenty thousand
dollars annually.
