When the Thompson Dean came in
Saturday afternoon, the wind was blow
ing a gale up stream, and she made
landing with difficulty between an empty
coal barge and hatboat laden with
apples. These fats were removed
short distance to make room for the
Dean, and we're slightly damaged. The
owners, however, claimed damages, and
Captain Pepper compromised by paying
the parties $4Oe. This is rather steep
for a first-class city, pretending TO regu
late wharfage facilities. Again, the
wharf is not paved, and it is difficult to
receive or discharge cargoes in good or
der, owing to the abundant crop of mud.
1t is also difficult to spar out the boats,
as the spars sink many feet deep in the
mud This portion Of the wharf is
leased to private individuals, who charge
double the usual wharfage fee for land
ing and discharging freight in the mud,
to say nothing about the cost of breaking
huge spars, as was the case with the
Dean yesterday.
