The excitement about skids and tar

interest in the Council. Fer the sake
OF harmony and the encouragement Of
river commerce, gentlemen, repeal the
city ordinance compelling N, w. Kinney
to pay $3.50 for the ground, and, you
may say, the exclusive privilege Of hir-
ing out skids and tarpaulins; make it
free TO all. The amount collected is a
small item to the city, and BY making it
free it will greatly neutralize the present
dissatisfaction existing among our steam
bcatmen and agents. Let all stand on
the same footing, and let be who is most
accommodating and will rent his skids
and taruaulins the cheapest get the bust
ness. This is fair and just, and will
show some disposition Of compromise
on the part of those in power. Yes,
gentlemen, while shaking hands with
your brethren of the North and sprink-
ling sweet flowers over the graves of
your dead heroes, now sleeping in ELM
wood, spread a little salve on the wounds
Of your brave river men, and you win
cement them in n common brother
