Pittsburg Commercial Gazette:
Some time ago the wharf committee re-
commended to the City Council that a reduc-
lion OF 331a per cent be made In the rate OF
to learn no action Il has been y" taken KEN in p1 rs
gard to the matter. The rates here are en-
tlrely too high; nearly all the down river
cites have cheapened wharfage materially
within the past few years, and Pittsburg is
commerce as they are. 1t is to be hoped,
therefore, that our city fathers will confirm
the recommendation Of the wharf committee,
and that too; as soon as possible, the sooner
me better. Every effort should be made to
sustain and encourage our river men, and
barriers, such as the one In question, should
pe taken out OF the way.
