Office.
, bosste encouragement we offer to all enter
prises of the kind, are Informed that the cit.
authorities deny to the Carondelet that exemp
: ton from levee dues granted to boats bull
y within the limits of this State, for the reasol
that her hull was built elsewhere. Considerin.
the insignificant part this hull bears to the Who'll
boat in q peeuniary point OF view, we think tn
authorities might have strained point, ant
classed her as if she had been built here entire
; Such action, at any rate, would nave met VII
general appreciation.
