those Of smother were aiken from them
and let out to contractors on terms which
at the time were unsatisfactory to nearly
every body, except the lessees. and, per-
haps, one of the officials. One of the
Administrators who was thus shorn of his
patronage made obstinate opposition, but
was overruled by his colleagues, and had

plan as at first agreed to, now shown by
this proposition for new one on terms
less favorable to the city, vindicates the
sagacity of those who, one year ago,
looked upon the alienation CT the city

We doubt whether the city has the legal
right to grant the relief asked for. It is
such q modification Of the specifications
which accompanied the notice for propo-
sails as to amount to q new contract. As
such, the law requires it to be let to the
lowest bidder.
Perhaps capitalist may be found who
will take the lease as it now stands on
much better terms than those proposed in
the petition. Perhaps those bondholders,
be they few or many, whose claims MI.
Ellerman wishes to postpone for q year
and half will not consent to let him and
the city settle their legal rights, or de-
prive them of their proper lien on the
wharves. They might. perchance, step
into court and seize the landings for their
debt, and thus leave the lessee and the
city in the lurch. Unless the contractor
owns or controls all the bonds he can not
interfere with tho time of their payment
by postponement
As there will be ample time to think of
these matters before the day of action ar
rives, we will not pursue the subject fur
ther at this time. If Mr.. Ellerman can
make it appear by frank and proper
showing that he has equity in his favor,
he is entitled to reliet, but not In the

THE PETITION OF THE WHARF LESSEE

The PETITION OF THE WHARF LESSEE
A most extraordinary petition was pre-
sented to the Council at the last meeting
from Mr.. Henry Ellerman, lessee of thu
wharves. His document sounds like The
plaintive vail Of man in deep distress
struggling with disaster and sinking
deeper and deeper every day. But wha,
does he ask for?' Does he implore the city
to rescue him from his dangerous posi-.
ton? Not at all. He only asks for the
privilege Of continuing longer in it. Ac.
cording to his statement he has got him.
self in fix where he is required to carry
GU. contract which shows a balance
against him Of s1lS,415 Sc sup to April l.,
1876, and he estimates further losses
which, by the first of November, will
make the aggregate zone hundred and
ninety thousand dollars at the lowest CAL
culation."
Ordinarily, when man finds himself
doing losily business, he asks to be let
of on the m st favorable terms he can
obtain. 1t does not occur to Mr. Eller-
man, however, to make such request.
He appears to be ambitious to 20 on with
his suffering for two years longer. And in
support of his petition he files very ex.
plicit recital Of balances, which certainly
show an apparent loss to the contractor
however it may affect the bondholders
We do not intend at this time to discuss
the financial features of this contract.
When the public know that the bondhold.
ers and the lessees are nearly identical in
interest, they will find in the S92, 900 paid
for redemption of bonds and S19,659 80
for interest some consolation to the bond
pocket for the losses of the contract
pocket. A small amount of these wharf
Improvement bonds, which alone of all
the city obligations are affected by this
contract, are held by outside parties
Hence, stay in the business Of redemp-
ton for eighteen months would have a
most beneficial effect financially upon the
interests Of the contractor. First. he
would gain the interest on q small round
amount Of bonds for year and half.
Second, he could devote the few dollars
out Of the receipts for wharfage which
could be spared from salaries, repairs.
etc., to taking up voluntarily such bonds
as he has an interest in. Third, he might
possibly worry other holders till thew
would be willing to part with their bonds |

nent of his contract Let him give that
