charged by the respective wharf-owner>.n-
MIR. Potts said he desired to know what the
result would be if the owners of other wharves
did not agree.
Mr.. Purcell said that for the present the
duty OF the committee would be to prepare
and report to the Chamber table Of rates.
and then if it was adopted submit it for con.
sderation to the other wharf-owners.
Mr.. Potts said he had special reference to
the PowFatan Company.

month. and that delegates would have to be
appointed to il.
After some consultation on the subject,
it was agreed to postpone the appointment
