The wharf lessees are before he city admin-
Irators with request for aHodifcafion Or
beir contract with the city. In which the causes
keset forth at length. and which have been
uhlished in the DEMOCRAT. Corporations are
opposed to be soul iess. the very incafsnatlon Of
nssntimentality. but If the aatninistrators
bould agree to this request. 1t has suggested
sf to the steamboamen that they too are
bod subjects for concession and generosity.
Is shown that from the twenty ninth OF June, |
u.s. to. the first of April. 1879. the amountleo
aed for wharfage amounted to s865. ts7 o. Thfsf
an enormous sum, heavy tax. and while
any think that 1t is illegally and u Justly Inn
bsed. yet it is paid and that too In the face of
let which is notorious, that the wharfage facili-
bs are insufficient, and that frequently vessels
q are e to
1t occurs to US that IL the city authorities |
include that the lessees are entitled to conces-
ons, certainly steambOatmen and other vessel |
WnerB should be benetciArieA, and on the
rinciple that nothing is to be had without the
eking. We suggest an appeal to this effect
uring the dull summer months steamboats,
be- forced to bear this loss in order to retain |
ID keep up their trade. In every department
kpenses are reduced to the lowest possible |
|me. In summer as In winter, In The dul as In |
potion be made; and while this matter s open |
ties Of wharfage be reduced during this time
certain per cent.
The request is not an unreasonable one. and |
compliance with 1t on the part of the city will |
regarded as o simple act Of justice to COM
unity who have every obstacle to contend |
(alnst. and who. only ask that which they DO
n always receive-fair play. The effort Is
rtainly worth the trial. and should be made. |
n II made. Just at this particular moment |
pile the city is In a position to entertain 1t. 1t
eamboatmen themselves become the lessees.
will be time enough to discuss that project
ben the present contract expires, which mas
me time to run yet.
