\ LOUISVILLE, June 3.--The free wharfage aues.
ton comes up before the Council in New Albany
that IL will adopt free wharfage law; and III this
Ia done, the river trade and commerce will be
worth dollars to New Albany, where they are not
worth cents now. There's no use denying the
fact that the exorbitant rates charged steam boats
for wharfage will cripple the business interests
of any and all cities which indulge in it, and the
sooner they make Wharfage selfsustaining, in
stead OF heavy source OF revenue, the better
business will be, and the more lively and pros
porous they will become.
Our new wharfage bill will be passed by the
Council next Thursday night.
